DECIDE AID
DRAINAGE WORK
Water Users Will Call on
Bankers To Arrange
For $4,000 a Month.

Directors of the FL PasO Valley Wa
ter Users association, at a meeting
held at their offices in the Mills build
ing Tuesday morning, decided to fl
nance the cost Of drainage work in
the county until a bill can be passed
to take the place Of the federal sun
dry civil service measure This will
require an expenditure Of approx
mately $4,000 a month.
When the sundry bill was passed It
contained a paragraph which read
that no part OF this appropriation
shall be expended for drainage except
in irrigation districts formed under
the state laws and upon execution
of agreements for repayment to Unit
ed States Of all projects investments"
The new bill will not contain this pro-
vision and the government will then
be able to pay for drainage work.
Reads Letter From King.
A letter was read at the meeting by
J. A Smith, president Of the associa-
tion. from VIII r. King, acting di-
rector Of the reclamation service. out
lining the necessity Of the association
in financing the drainage work The
writer said il would probably be sew
eral months before the substitute bill
could be passed and that in the mean
time the association would probably
have to eXpend about $4,000 a month
for the work. but that the government
would later reimburse the members
for the money so expended.
May Ask for Loan.

Smith to call upon the members Of the

REST OF ALL FAIRBANKS FILMS


Wild and WOolly," the latest Doug
las Fairbanks picture, was released at
the Wigwam yesterday for showing in
Texas. OF all the splendid pictures
that the Smiling One has ever made,
this is probably the best. 1t is in the
superlative class in every way. the
story is both clever and pleasing and
gives Doug opportunities to do a lot
of new things that keep him busy all
of the time Fairbanks has an inter
national reputation because of his
skill as an actor and his wonderfully
magnetic personality, but he is not
known as an expert rider and handler
of the lariat. His work with the rope
and on horseback compares favorably
with the famous Oklahoma cowboy,
VIII Rogers who was formerly a vau-
devile star with a wild west act How
and when Doug learned it all is a
mystery.

good, clean comedy. a charming love

en-reel Selig special feature, which
has been the cause of much talk in
FL Paso recently, opened at the Gre

large and enthusiastic audiences all

This is a sensational expose of the
methods Of a well organized syndI-
cate of highly educated, 'top-notch"

records from the famous case which
was held at Chicago not long ago and
created a nationwide sensation. The
syndicate was found to be as well or

all prospective suckers" from Maine
TO California
The methods adopted by these
crooks to fleece their victims are
strikingly exposed in this great pic

were used to lure multimillionaires,
and how these rich men were ulti-
mately blackmailed out of large sums
of money. Other clever, original and
surprising schemes are also shown.
