Flood Waters Do Big Damage

1t is learned that the damage done
last week to the ranch of the Eureka
Land & Stock Company at Roberts
Greek was much greater than at
first reported. The cloudburst or
flood that carried down and deposit
ed debris of all kinds over the upper
portion of the ranch to a depth of
from six to fourteen inches started
about one mile below the Horse
Ranch, and covered 80 acres of a
three-year old stand of alfalfa that
was in prime condition. and destroyed
most of the grain crop. An effort is
being made to ave the stand of al
falfa by stirring up the mas cover
ing it. SO that the plants may break
through and not become smothered.
The flood waters did considerable
other damage to the truck garden,
fences, roads, etc.. on the ranch.

will be placed in the hands of a rep
resentative of the Anglo. London,
Paris bank of San Francisco, who is

the officers training camp in San
Francisco. He will endeavor to OBJ

Crozier and Baker.

The newspapers are having much to say about
machine gun controversy" between Gen. William Gro
zier Chief of Ordnance, and Secretary of War Baker
The fact is there isn't any controversy. You can't
have controversy when the two parties to it refuse
to quarrel The newspapers may manufacture row
of their own but that won't make particle of differ
ence to the War Department.
Secretary Baker admits that he is responsible for
whatever delay has occurred in the manufacture of
machine guns and asks: What of it, Our forces
in France well equipped temporarily, with Lewis
and French guns, and are using French ammunition.
We will have plenty of machine guns by the time
have the troops in France ready them intmates
Baker. So there you are.
The popular impression that the War Department
making mad effort to speed things up in ord
well other lines received rude jolt in Gen.
Croziers testimony before the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs. The Senators themselves heard him
with amazement. Nine months in war and not single
machine gun yet turned out by the shops What will
be the next olt Will the public and Congress prove
as imperturbable as the War Secretary?

poyes are present with their insisent and usti6abIe
demand that their salaries be fixed at figure that will
enable them live least with the necessities of life
And Congress is in the mood to admit that the claim
of the employees for consideration is equitable since
the conditions here substantially the OBJ
tain in every Congressional district from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
So nov is heard the plea of some Of the soons for
better salaries for themselves. We feel the cost Of
living quite much as the more menal employees and
why not $4,000 year for Congressman? is the plea
of the better wage advocates.
Why not? to be sure. Let's lay the cards upon the
table. the American public cannot get experienced
legislators at $500 per year to fill the seats of the
mighty at the Capital, the American public is quite
willing pay $4,000 But let have it in the open
There is bound be criticism but it is exceed
ingly liable to be nationwide if the legislators vote
themselves covert perquiste such that perpetraed
when their salaries exempted from the provisions
of the war tax.
The employees rely upon the force of public opinion
and the spotlight of publicity to aid them in their de-
mands Members of Congress do likewise if their
case is predicated upon truth and fact.

Let's Have a Showdown.

Signs multiply that even the hard-shelled members
of Congress who run to corncob pipes and trousers
without at last awakened to the fact that
the cost of living has advanced materially in the last
decade and that it has taken astounding leap the
past six months.
Washington has welcomed members of the Sixty
fifth Congress with rent schedule from 20 to Is per
cent higher than it year ago. with coal hover
ing around the $Io per ton mark and impossible
with official influence, TO obtain it at that price, and
with menu cards in the Senate and House restaurants
as constant reminders that food is high.
To make i more emphatic, the government en-
