TO DAM NEW RIVER
GEORGE H. REED OF IMPERIAL
GRANTED PERMISSION
Will Irrigate 1858 Acres With Water
From New River-Cost Of Prof.
eet Will BE $4,000

George H. Reed Of Imperial has
been granted flow Of 81 second feet
of New River by the State Wate,
Commission.
Mr.. Reed intends to build a long
low dam across the stream, feet ir
height ard 5000 feet in length, and
then to cut mai ncanal three miles
long. The estimated cost Of the worl
is $4,000 and the number of acres te
be watered is 2959.
The irrigation district has already
served notice officially on Mr.. Reed
that they will assume no responsibility
for any damage that may be occa.
stoned by the use Of the river as q
wasteway by the district. The dis
trict has the right to use the rive,
for this purpose and there has been
a time when 100000 second feet Of
water went down. This might wash
out Reeds dam, but it will not involve

COTTON PICKING
PRICES SHOULD
Be FIXED NOW
VARIOUS FIGURES SUGGESTED
FOR THIS WORK
F A r MERS MUST ACT
UNLESS THEY Do THERE WILL
, BE CONFUSION AND TROUBLE
Mexican Cotton Growing Interest Will
Pay 81 and $1.25 According to
Short or Long Staple Cotton

/, With the labor campaign practically
assured and the labor commissioner
hard at work getting a line on labor
for the valley the question arises
What will be the rate for cotton pick
ing?
Many stories are being circulated
as to the price that will be paid and
some of them wildly fix it at $3.50 a
bale while the careful and conserva-
tive rancEers say the price must not
be made excessive.
At the highest price suggested a
skilled cotton picker would be able
to make twelve dollars or more day,
while at the lowest price of one dollar
for short staple the amateur could
easily make $3.50 to $500 daily and
the skilled workman much more.
Cotton Growers Warning
In conversation with one of the big
men of the cotton industry this morn
ing he said: "There must be some
thing done by the farmers now in the
way of fixing prices, for if there is
lot fair price fixed and one that will
We generally observed there will be
II kinds of trouble and confusion and
,erhaps delayed work. The idea seems
20 have got out that the picking price
will be high, but this is mistake. AT
one dollar and half it will cost the
farmer $50 to have bale of cotton
picked and it will make the price paid
FOR the picking out of all reason as
compared with wages for similar work.
The farmer cannot afford to pay this
price, even though there is big prof
it in cotton at twenty-five cents.
"Below the line the rates will likely
be the same as before or one dollar for
short staple and a dollar and quarter
for long staple. At these figures a
good cotton picker can make big mon
ey and even a tyro can make a fair
or rather big wages.
Must Be Uniformity
"There must be some uniformity
and the farmers must get together
at once and fix the price for picking.
The labor commissioner is out after
men and one of the first questions to
be asked him will, to my mind, be
what price is to be paid for picking
What will he tell them? l don't know
what lie is tellin gthem now, but l do
know that he should be given some
thing definite to work on"

London, Aug. 18.-The Pope's pro-
'posals and those Of the general poll
tical situation will be discussed at
length by the German reichstag when
lit reconvenes on August 21, according
to a dispatch from Berlin to the Col
Iogne Gazette. This dispatch which is
evidently inspired, says that it is the
duty Of all governments to support
any effort at mediation. 1t is evil
dent that Austro- Hungary will throw
its full weight in favor of an affirma-
tive answer to the pontifical propo-
sails just as Bulgaria will vigorously
oppose it's acceptance on the ground
Of return o. occupied territory. Most
papers believe there is little chance

will be sent to the Pope independently
and not in connection with the answer

GERMANS REPULSED
BATTLE IN FLANDERS AGAIN
WON BY ALLIES
Two German Mine Sweepers Dam
aged by British Naval Forces
and Warships Escape
(By Associated Press)

London, Aug. 1s.-Once again the
Germans have had to oite the dust
in Flanders. The troops making an
assault on the British positions there
have been completely repulsed after
sharp fighting with heavy German
losses.
The admiralty announces that two
German mine sweepers were badly
damaged by the British naval forces
on Thursday and that the British war
ships escaped unscathed.
A dispatch from the front says that
the Germans delivered another sharp
but entirely futile blow at the British
positions. It was directed against a
section Of the position taken by the
Canadian troops northwest Of Lens.
The Germans penetrated the trenches
but the Britons made stand and
drove them out Immediately as the
result Of hand to hand fighting. 1t
cost the Germans large number Of
men in dead, wounded and prisoners.
The London admiralty also an
nounces another air raid in Flanders
which was carried out Thursday night
on the railway station at midnight
when bombs were dropped in west
Flanders and many bridges burned.
The ammunition is believed to have
been hit and the railroad badly dam
e ged. All the machines returned in
safety.
The French also have. made decided
gains and have driven further into
Belgium and have captured another
strong point east Of the river. Paris
was aroused early this morning by
the sounding Of an air raid alarm and
the hum of the planes could be dis
tinctly heard as they passed over the
city. An hour later the bugles an
nounced the danger as having passed.
No bombs were dropped.

BOOZE MAKING STOPS ON SEP.
TENDER 8
Price Will Then be Up All Over the
Country and MOonshiners
Will Get Busy
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Not anothe,
drop of whisky will be manufactured
in the United States after II O'Clock
on the night of September 8. All
other distilled spirits for use as bev.
erages will also cease to be manufac-
tured then.
This ruling was made today by the
food administration after it had been
bombarded with a ceaseless flow of
kilograms from distillers asking in
formation. The food control law pro-
vided that the production should cease
thirty days after approval of the
measure. The bill was approved Au-
gust 10, and consequently would be
effective at midnight, September g.
That being Sunday, and as the in
ternal revenue laws prevent the oper-
alton of distilleries on the Sabbath, a
question was daised by the distillers,
who wanted to work until the last
minute.
