From the records Of the United States
Reclamation Service at Yuma it is
shown that the minimum monthly dis
charge for long period of years has
seldom fallen below the demands of a
proposed diversion Of water to both
the Yuma reclamation project and the
proposed Imperial irrigation system.
To the dam, the Irrigation District
board now considers a seventeen mile
canal. connecting it with the main
canal of our irrigation system; and
yet, very wisely, the District does not
pretend to state that in their belief
"a connection with the government dam
will afford the valley permanent re
lief until as is stated in the Districts
communication to Secretary Lane.
''some authority higher than the I'm
perial Irrigation District sets
a limit to the quantity of water which
may be delivered to Mexican canals.
In other words, if the present irri-
CATION system is connected with the
Laguna dam. and the present grievan-
ces against Mexico are removed by
government and diplomatic interces-
sion, the advantages sought for the
American canal plan are
provided for in the present irrigation
system, and the construction of an
All American canal is unnecessary.
Also. as is stated in the report.
there is, therefore treferring to the
possible demands made upon the irri
CATION system by increased acreage
Put under cultivation in Mexico). the
possibility that there will be some
o'6,0OG acres of land irrigated south
Of the boundary line as an offset to
the same area now within Imperial /
Irrigation District boundaries
and there may be in time double serv-
ice required of the Imperial main ca
nal. This condition, although not
stated in the report, would be impos-
sible, and would require, unless the
government gained concession from
Mexico, the construction of an Amer
lean canal,
The strength of the new position
taken by the District begins TO be seen.
II has recognized the facts as they
exist concerning the irrigation ques-
ton, embodying the principles Of the
All American canal idea within the
present canal system, seeking, inso-
far as government aid may be given,
to utilize the present canal system
through Mexico, avoiding the ex-
pense Of an All-American canal IN
less government aid Is oenied. and
possibly uniting the factions divided
7n the irrigation question by stealing
nc fire Of all of them.
The really important feature Of the
Districts request Of the government
: the stated admission that govern
nent assistance is needed to perfect
re vast irrigation system into one Of
and permanence, and in rec
'gnizing this and other vital facts con-
erning the irrigation problem, a firm
oundation has Keen constructed. after
,s&ny years, on which the future Of the
irrigation system may be built. i

You Can't Brush or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moistcn the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning.
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone and three of four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy.
iustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.-Adv.

|546 STUDENTS Enroll
Second Semester Registra-
ton at High School High
est in History.

That nearly all Of the students who
graduated from the eighth grades Of
grammar schools at the end of the
first semester are DESTROYS of taking
further educational steps, is shown
by the fact that 95 per cent Of them
have enrolled in the county high school
for the second semester.
Fortytwo new students were en-
rolled during the first week Of the
second semester and as only three
were lost by graduation and only
couple more dropped out of school. the
gain in attendance was considerable.
Principal ketcham and his staff are
eagerly awaiting the day when the
new addition to the county high school
for which plans have just been COM
pleted. will be ready to take care of
the pupils, who are at present crowd
ing every nook and corner Of the high
school, and the high school annex, To-
Gated across the street from the main
high school building. The total enroll
ment at the county high school for the
second semester of the school year is
SAG, including the AZ new students
OF the AZ new students who enrolled
this semester, 33 were fresh from
grammar schools. while the remain
ing nine were students who either had
not attended during the first semester,
or had come from some other town
recently, Nearly all of the pupils who
came from the eighth grades earned
their diplomas in the city schools, and
as a total of 81 pupils We're graduated
from the city schools at the end of the
first semester, the figures show that
an unusually large percentage of them
decided to assimilate all the education
possible.

When the judge began looking over
the papars collected during the pro-

from the county superintendent. When
Miss Shull was questioned she wasn't

The court instructed the board to

The board couldn't. No decision has

absence of the order is said to make

WILL Plan CELEBRATION
George Washington High
way Association to Inaug-
urate New Road.

The secretary Of the Missoula Cham
Der OF Commerce has received letter
from the secretary Of the George
Washington Highway association ask
ing that the city and the chamber CO.
operate with the association in cele-
brating the birthday of the first presi-
dent Of the United States by assisting
in the Inauguration of the George
Washington Highway, which is to ex-
tend from Savannah Ca, on the At
lantic coast to Seattle. Washington. on
the Pacific coast. 1t is regarded as
tie most fitting memorial to the i'm
mortal father Of the country.
A prize is offered in connection with

the George Washington Highway. AS
part Of the program the winner of this
prize will read his essay. So far only
the pupils nf the Roosevelt school have

The establishment of national
highway from Savannah to Seattle will
1t is believed, be of much benefit to
the PARTS of the country through which
it passes and will fill a long felt need
for an improved highway from the
southeastern to the northwestern part
Of the country.
The route of the road is from Sa-
vannah through Kentucky to Omaha.
through Nebraska. and through wy
oming and the Yellowstone park, and
then west by the way Of Butte and
MiSsoula over the Lolo pass road to
7'asco and from there to Seattle. 1t is
believed that the new highway will
bring a greatly increased number of
tourists from the different parts Of the
country which 1t traverses, and that
M1ssouia, especially, being supplying
point on the road between Butte and
Lewiston. would be benefited i'm
measureably.
