North Star College Notes

The senior class will render the
play entitled, ''The Scheme that
Failed, at the college, May IS.
We are looking forward to fine
presentation Of this play.
The Whittier society rendered
their last program for the year last
Saturday evening. The society has
done fine work during the entire
year, much to the credit Of the
students who have been willing to
do their part and also to Prof.
Miller, who has worked unceasing-
fly for the success or each meeting.
The following gentlemen, called
at the college last Monday after
noon: Messrs. Tresler, Boden, Berg
and Erickson. Mr.. Berg is we'll
known in this part Of the country
and in this state, having at one
time been Secretary of State.
They were very much pleased with
the college, its development and
spoke Of the future progress of the
institution. Messrs. Lundgren
Mattson and Harris, of our city,
accompanied them.
Messrs. Lundgren, Mattson and
Sjostrand will represent North Star
College at the Red River Valley
conference meeting to be held at
Moorhead this week.
The following dates are set for
our Commencement activities:
Thursday May "a, Piano and Vocal
Recital; Friday, May 25, Gradua-
tion Recital, given by Mildred
Wood and Jean Stevens; Saturday
May 26, Glass day program; Sun
day, May 81, Baccalaureate ser
vices; Monday, May %, Piano Re
cital at 3 p. M, and the English
declamatory contest in the evening
Tuesday, May 20, commencement
There may be a slight change il
the Baccalaureate service owing te
the fact that May 81 is Pentecost
and this is a day Of special ser
vices in most Of our churches il
the city. We are, however, quite
certain that Sunday, May 20 will
be the best date for all concerned
and it is very likely that we will
hold the services then.
We are glad to announce to ou1
people that the Misses Hermansor
and Anderson have signed up thei7
contracts with North Star for an
other year. This is good news t
the Board Of Directors and to al
their friends in the city and coun-
try adjacent. Their work in thu

HUGE SUMS OF CASH
 FOR IMPERIAL VALLEY

Since printing the Imperial Valley item that appeared in last Weeks ARIZONA SENTINEL (wrltten the pre-, my desk bearing date of January G. and from Its valued columns am given world of information relative to what Imperial Valley proposes do to better its present depor- able condition.
 It will be remembered that during the latter part ot last November the board of directors passed resolution directing e. Grunsky and C. C. Anderson, the consult ing engineers to submit an estimate as 10 the costs o the present needs of the Imperial Valley irrigation system:
 This report is published in full in the Imperial Valley Press of January It calls for appropriation ot the huge sum of $2 464 OOO covering Al distinct items ranging all the way from $500 for telephone line, up to $24OOOO for the new headgaes at Hanon Heading say nothing of an item of an half million dollars for minor structures ncdentas contingencies and engineering ex- penSes. The new intake, about mile above f1anlon Heading is the first estimated item of S24O,OOO.
 Not word is said in the report about connecting up with Laguna dam but that need sartle for the ap propraton asked for is calculated only to run Imperial Valley for the years. In all human probably by the time this money eXauSted Imperial Valley will be just about where is today This purely emergency fund It has been ratified by the various governing bodies of the irrigation district and 5 per cent o the farmers be induced vote that huge in bonds the work recommended by MeSSrS GrunSky and Ander will begin, but not until then.
 It rather precariouS undertaking at this time to attempt to get the good farmers of Imperial Valley do nate another S2 900 after all the millions they have a ready donated only find that year after year they woeully short in their water supply. Should the farmers fail ratfy this huge appropriation, what then? When that question the farmers in the face they will at know that they MUST vote the bOndS else turn their fine farms back into the desert That means of course that the farmers have but the alternative and that is to swallow the bait hook sinker line and all
 There is item in the report worthy of more than passing note. 1t reads: "Controllmg gate in canal about four miles below Hanlon Heading headgate and Ievee to the river-S8O O00

SHALL WE ORGANIZE A
 RURAL CREDITS BANK?

Now that the United States has been divided into the necessary twelve districts for the establishment of district banks under the Rural Credit law the question Shall organize Rural Credit Bank for the benefit the farmers of the Yuma Project?
 Some of the Reclamation officials are inclined to think that avail ourselves of this wholesome law as long continue operate under the Water Users As Sociaon system instead of the irrigation district plan, but am free confess do view the matter in that light for the law very plainly says is wholly within the power of the Central Bank say which property bor 1ow money and which not There is doubt how ever but what all obstacles would be removed if were operating under the district plan instead of the aSsOca tion plan But that is neither here there far dis cussing the advsabity of organizing Rural Credit Bank in this community in concerned am of the firm opinion that this should be done at once We will know what benefits are to be derived from such bank until it shall have been tried.
 In nutshell all that is required for not less than 10 landowners associate themselves together and ask he government for permission organize such bank 1t be- ing understood that each to ask for loan of not less than $2OOO and than $1OOOO If the Central Bank which in our case will be located in Berke!ey Ca looks upon it favoraby the necessary instructions will he given for the purpose of perfectng the local organz after which charter will be issued There raid o- ficias in the local organization except the secretayeaS urer There graft connected with it. The idea IS to save every dollar possible the borrower making the n teret low possible but in event not more than per cent.

SOME BIG DOINGS
 ON YUMA PROJECT

Yuma Project is now claiming the personal attention of two of the real bg guns of the Reclamation service Consulting Engineer Jacobs and Chief Drainage Engineer Murphy, the latter having reached Yuma week ago. while the former has been here and in Imperial Valley for the past few weeks
 Chief Murphy is here matters pertaining to drain age especially with reference the big drainage canal being constructed in Yuma Valley while Engineer Jacobs here in connection with the figuring the costs and feasibility of enargng the main sphon canal six times its present size Both gentlemen being accorded every courtesy by the local Reclamation officials Project Mana ger Lawson being particularly interested seeing both schemes perfected at the earliest possible moment the peton of the drainage canal because will forever make Yuma Valley immune from Seepage and the enlargement of the main siphon canal from Laguna dam to the te-ne drop because that will give him horsepower that he Will ever need to pump water the mesa where lie 10000 acres o the finest citrus fruit land in all the world the only frostless belt in the United States.
 The fact that the government this early ascerainng ali the facts in connection with the enlargement of the si phon canal very clearly shows that the Reclamation off ciaS at Washington know that the Yuma Mesa Land Bill will soon become law, and this preliminary work being done time that when the bill does pass con- gress work be commenced almost immediately though the money the work the mesa must come from the sale of lands However after the bill shall have passed there no law against borrowing funds from the Reclamation treasury to go right ahead with the work, and pay back from the proceeds of the sale of the land This, mind you, is by manner of means official but merely my guess, and my friends the project will ad init that usually guess pretty accurately
 As said in the previous issue of the ARIZONA SEN- TINEL there is no doubt in my mind but that the Mesa Land Bill will become law It has plenty of time to be considered before the fourth day of March If objection is raised against its passage by unanimous consent the next time is reached in regular order will praboby be pressed to passage anyway. It will go through an ad minstraon measure for it has the unqualified support of the Reclamation Commission and the hearty indorSement of Secretary Lane. That they will permit to be Stranged by any set of men unthinkable That it will re- ceved the approval of the president when passed is abso
