fin the next sixty days Secretary Lane will announce the costs of construction of the Yuma Valley unit at which time the amount of land that any one per son, or family, can obtain water rights for will also be announced. People of the valley have long been pray ing for this official announcement at the hands of Secretary Lane, but if the announced costs are greatly in excess of what the Yuma Valley farmers claim was originally agreed upon $35 or $40-there will be kick regis. tered that will be strong enough to knock hole through brick wall 35 or 40 feet thick. However, let's not get excited over the matter until the price shall have been fixed In other words let's not get scared at the ghosts until we see them.

U. S. R. S. DISTRICT COUNSEL.

Judge O. P Morton, district counsel of the Reclamation Service with head quarters in Los Angeles, was in Yu ma part of last week to see what ar engagements could be made with the city of Yuma for laying a railroad track on Madison avenue out to the city rock quarry. It may be possible that the question will be submitted to the voters at an early date, as the To- cal project manager is anxious to have this extra facility ready before the spring rise in the Colorado and Gila rivers. If the privilege is granted it is proposed to pave that portion of the street occupied by the railroad track so it will hardly be noticed. It is not anticipated that there will be any ob- jection to granting the privilege, as it. is greatly needed to facilitate Recla- nation work, which means much to Yuma

How Food Prices Increased.

The annual food bill OF the average
family has grown frcm S339.90 in 1913
to S425.54 at present, tie department
of labor announced in a review of food
prices.
In ten years, the departments ex-
perts estimate, the advance In the
cost of food has so far outstripped
wage increases that the workman who
drew So a day in 1907 now finds HIM
self just siXty-nine cents a day worse
off.
The heaviest increase in food prices
during the last four years IS shown
in potatoes, the cost of which has
risen from S18.96 to $44.69. Other
large increases are in eggs, from $3301
to $43.O7; flour, $1512 to $3.50; bit.
ter, s45.72 to $54.7S. Of the whole list
of foods, only sirloin and round steak
are cheaper than five years ago.
In the period from January Is to
February Is food prices tock four
per cent jump. Onions lei, with a
seventy-seven per cent incro"se. Po'
tatoes went up thir;y per ce-t. Eggs
alone decreased in Price.
It is estimated that If a dollars
worth CT fool bcGght in 1907 weighed
ten pounds it would weigh today
