PROJECT MANAGER LAWSON TRANSFERRED
 TO FL PASO.

The die has been cast Project Manager L. M Lawson, whom had all learned to love so wel has received final orders to take up his old position on the Fl Paso-Eephant Butte Project. The change will take place the early part of next month at which time Mr. Lawson will surrender the keys of Yuma Project the new Chief Engineer and Project Manager W. w. Schecht
 In common with every citizen of Yuma Project l had hoped this change would not take place until after the approaching spring flood period but the powers that-be at Washington have such unbounded faith in Mir. Schlecht that they have made the change in the
 face of the contingencies that may arise from the Colo rados spring overflow Mr. Schlecht has been here month During that time it has been my pleasure to be with him every day. have visited every section of the project with him, especially the mesa which he is intensely interested in seeing that it is made glor ious success have watched him closely have studied his nature and characteristics in fact have watched him very much like hawk watches chicken. After all of this glad to say that is my honest opinion that he fully Up to the requirements of the Yuma Project. In fact very much doubt if the gov ernment has single man in its service who can fill MT. Lawson's shoes as acceptaby to the people of Yuma Project as can and will our new Chief Engineer and Project Manager Schlecht. He has been in the Reca- nation Service ever since it begun. He was sent to Porto Rico by the government to install all govern ment works on that possession and did it acceptaby that he was at recognized of the real big of the service. He has been on many of the pro- jects installing works and because of his unusual adaptabity in the construction department he sent to Yuma to work out the Yuma Mesa Auxiliary Pro- ject.
 It therefore becomes the duty as it should be the pleasure of every water and land owner Yuma Project to give Mr. Schlecht the right hand of fellow ship and bid him welcome in midst We should be
 just as loyal to him as have been Mr. Lawson He is the representative of the government and such should command our undivided respect. Personally like him very much To me he seems to be real big, broad dgauged man, who says what he thinks and means what he says Personally, again, MT. Schlecht will find me just loyal to him as have been to MT. Lawson.
 And for MT. Lawson-wel, he goes back to the biggest project in the Reclamation Service his old love- project where he brought order of chaos where he numbers his friends by the thousands God bless him. He is true in every sense of the word. Yu ma will miss him. Let all hope that MT. Schlecht will be as generous in his dealings with the water users frank with his fellow men, and loyal to the community that now rests it's all in his keeping.
