HARRY HARRISON YARNELL

After an heroic struggle for health
through several years of suffering
which he bore with fortitude and pa
tience, Harry Yarnell passed away on
Thursday January 4th. Harry was a
general favorite in Wauseon and be-
cause he has always taken an active
tanning his education in the schools of
this town and also having been en-
gagged in business here, he was per-
haps as generally known as any
young man in Wauseon. During all
his long illness he was thoughtful of
others who were sick, sharing flowers
sent to him with those whom he had
reason to believe would have none
and even just preceding his death he
requested that flowers which might be
sent to his funeral should be sent to
people who were sick and might en-
joy them, rather than have them
taken to the cemetery where they
would wither and die without doing
anyone any good. During his long
illness his mother has been his con-
slant attendant. The following obi
tuary was read at the funeral service
by his pastor, Rev. J. A. Wharton.
Harry H. Yarnell, died January A.
1917, at the age of twenty-nine years
eleven months and twenty-one days
He was the son of Frank and Lydia
Yarnell and was born in Wauseon
February IA, 1887. He united with
the Christian Church when twelve
years of age and was faithful to it un-
til death. He was an active member
Of the loyal Mems Bible Class OF
that school. He was also a member
of the Modern Woodmen and Knights
of Maccabees, and of the Fire De.

DONALD SHAFFER

Little Donald was very patient
sufferer. His illness of several weeks
finally terminated in an incurable dis
ease of the throat "Noma". We rea-
lized our weakness when with all
the efforts we could put forth we
were unable to relieve our little one.
But God is strong and Tuesday morn
ing carried the little soul to the place
where there is no sickness.
Donald Maurice Shaffer, son of
Clara and Ross Shaffer was born
March 9th, 1914, departed this life
January 2, 1917, aged two years, nine
months and twenty-four days.
And the family gave with tears and
pain
A flower they did most love
But they knew they should find it the
again
In the Garden of Eden, above.
Little Donald leaves to mourn
father, mother, three brothers, two
sisters, one grandmother, two grand
fathers and other relatives.

A Foundation at Last.

In considering the Laguna dam as
"a source Of supply for the irrigation
system, and in taking immediate steps
.toward the possible construction of a
tanal connecting Laguna dam with the
present main irrigation canal, the Dis
;rict board is contemplating the most
radical deviation in plan and policy
considered since the inception of the
irrigation system.
That the change in attitude toward
tie ultimate perfection of the system
is timely cannot be doubted. Although
the county voted its confidence in the
present irrigation system last spring
when two million and half dollars
was given the District by the ap-
proval Of a bond issue, the water
shortage last summer has gained for
tEe All American canal project un
pIecedented support, and in the pres
ent system of turning the water from
The Colorado into the system an ali but
shattered confidence.
Although support to the All-Ameri-
tan canal plan embraces more or less
ali the principles embodied in the
plan, it is believed that the funda-
-aental difference between this pro-
.eet and the present irrigation sys-
ten rests in the method of securing
The water from the Colorado, and this
difference alone is largely responsible
1or whatever support may be given
the All-American canal pan.
If the present irrigation system
adequately supplied water to Amen
ean ranches throughout the year, il
seems unlikely that American ranch
ers would feel justified n changing
tie system because Mexico receives
'sater without paying a pro rata share
OF lhe expense Of the upAeep Of the
stem The vital consideration is
3a4er, and win sufficient water
throughout the ysar the American
-ancher no doubt would be too busy
p give much worry to Mexieo's part
the system
ogever. water IS not adequately
pplied through the present irriga-
on system, and the cause lies in the
'Eaethod q turning the water from
the Colorado into the system. From
experience and severe loss, the ranch
CT is reaching the conclusion that
permanent valley eanont be maintained
By a temporary weir, or any other
temporary arrangement that might te
blasted with the slightest change in
the ever changing conditions Of the
Colorado river.
On the other hand, The government
project, the Laguna dam, holds back
the waters Of the Colorado at point
seventeen miles above the present in
take system Of the irrigation system.
