YUMA VALLEYS DRAINAGE
 CANAL NOW UNDER WAY

One month ago the biggest draglne dredge" ever con- Structed reached Yuma In order to get it here from the factory at Milwaukee it required three ordinary flat to transport it. Not only that but after reached Yuma it re- quired the of the Reclamation Railroad for up wards of me down the Mexican line to take this monster dredger point where begins operation his may be startling piece of to some of our citizens but it is fact
 The dredger has begun blowing it's way just above the dyke at the Mexican boundary and will continue to operate until has excavated drainage canal approximately wen- ty miles long, with right-ofway of 15O feet The canal it. self will be about 30 feet top and 20 at the bottom and about feet deep which will require the removal of some thing like 75OOOO cubic yards of earth. When it shall have been completed calculated that Yuma Valley will for ever be from all manner of seepagen other words it will make Yuma Valley the garden spot of the world
 Of course there are few citizens in Yuma Valley whose lands may be hurt by the construction of this i'm mense drainage canal and yet the great good that will do for the many against the damage will do for the few, will ten times repay the valley for it's building.

THE YUMA MESA LAND BILL
 WILL SURE BECOME 4 LAW

Some Of my friends have begun to chde me about the passage rather nonpassage of the Yuma Mesa Land Bill pending in congress especially since both Sena tor Ashurst and Congressman Hayden promised that if physically possible they would have the bill enacted into law and present it Christmas gift No in Yuma would love that bill passed better than though from purely personal standpoint have absolutely in erest in it. No man in the community realizes better than
 what the passage of this bill Yuma and to the
 Yuma project have worked for it, dreamed about it, prayed for it, until am almost black in the face.
 And yet fully realize probably more than the average citizen what efforts takes get such through congress- know both Senators Smith and Ashurst and Congressman Hayden have done every thing that it physically possible for them do in order get this enacted into law and yet Up the present time they have been unable to graty wishes. That's not their fault When you stop to remember that the Yuma Mesa Land Bill introduced only last April and that there were some 5000 bills ahead of it, you will have cepton of the difficulty congressman has in forcing it through congress with each congressman just anxious for the passage of his bill congressman for the pac sage of ours.
 ust little patience, just little forbearance just little aycommonsenSe, and will get the Yuma Mesa Land Bill enacted into law and when this shall have been accomplished it be remembered that the govern has reversed itself it's land policy that has been in existence since nation But the bill will pass The Yuma Mesa will yet be garden of orange blossoms; those who land the will be made thrice happy and those who in after years here to take their abode on the mesa will bless those who brought about this great change

WAR SAVINGS DRIVE
TO OPEN SOON

The campaign TO place way
saving stamps in Idaho, thereby
permitting many who could not
do their bit financially toward
helping the government to win
the war through the purchase of
liberty bonds, is under the super
vision of James II. Hawley as di-
rector. In a statement issued
Saturday Director Hawley eX-
plains the purpose of the drive
and the two plans for disposing
of the stamps, or through certi-
ilcates and thrift cards. The
statement follows:
Having assumed the duties of
my position as director for the
state of Idaho of the war savings
committee Of the United States,
it is proper to give to the people
a general idea of the plan adopted
and the methods to be pursued
in connection with the sale of
these stamps.
1.-THE authority for the issuance
and sale of the savings stamps
is contained in the act of the six
ty-hfth congress of the United
States, approved September pa,
1917, and entitled IAN act to
authorize an additional issue of
bonds to meet the expenditures
for the national security and de-
Tense, ETC.
1.-THE general plans for this
form of security have been
worked out by the secretary of
the treasury and his assistants,
and under this plan the national
war savings committee. headed 10y
Frank A. Vanderlip. the great
banker whose name itself is a
synonym for honesty of purpose
and ability to originate and carry
out great financial plans, has
been organized. Six directors
have been appointed to take
charge of the various sections of
the country. Honorable r. c.
Bradley of San Francisco has
been appointed director for the
Pacific coast and a director has
also been appointed for each state
lin the Union. The state direct
ors are authorized to appoint
Icounty directors, and also an adj
Ivisory board to assist each OF
them in the discharge Of his duty
and the county directors are ex-
lpected to appoint county COM
mittees to assist them i'm their
labors.
1.-THE primary object of the law
cited is TO reach all classes OF
citizens in this endeavor to raise
money for the government anC
especially those who hoard theiI
savings without entrusting them
to banks and those who do not
save at all. The whole scheme
lis based upon the maxim that a
lspender is a liability to the COM
