Imperial Irrigation District
Directors Will Meet With
Them on Saturday Next
in an Effort to Effect a
Compromise.

In letter to President Leroy Holt
of the Irrigation District, Phil Swine
outlines the result of a conference
between himself and Engineer Grun-
sky, for the District, and the Yuma
Water Users Association dwirectors
held in Yuma, Friday:
It appears from the letter that VI
ma wants:
About all the power developed from
Laguna dam to the edge of the mesa
if an all-American canal is built; q
Almost all the power developed
building a canal from the dam tc
Hanlon's.

construct a desilting plant at Lapune
and allow Yuma to skim all the wa
ter it needs from this plant.
Imperial Irrigation District to
agree to a prior right for Yuma fcr
100 second-feet.
Impeial Irrigation District is t.
pay $1,6OO,O00 for connection with the
dam.
If we agree to all these things, the
Yuma Water Users Association prom
ises to use its influence with the Ari-
zona congressman to back the pro-
posed unified Colorado projects biz
| The directors of the Imperial Ir.
rigation District will meet with tn
Yuma water users Saturday at "
ma. Some of the Yuma people want
ed time to think over the various
phases of the proposed bill, and it :
probable that an amicable undo
standing will be arrived at, with
few concessions by our friends of t.
Yuma project.
The impression seems to prevail, at
Yuma that the water users there own
the dam, although they have paid
less than $4,000 of its cost, and i
was built with the view that the vss.
area in the Imperial basin should be-
come tributary to it
But it is probable that e Yunre
people will see that the interest Of
Yuma is the interest of Imperial, and
vice versa, in the matter of the pas
sage of bill, and the conference be
tween the District and the water nc
rs will be prosecuted to this end

ate recital Thursday evening al
Stones auditorium. More than usual
interest was manifested in these pu-
pills and the auditorium was filled 20
capacity, many of the company be-
ing forced to stand during the pro-
gram.
Miss Lund has received all her
musical education in Fargo and she
possesses talent OF more than
work. One OF the principal selec-
tions OF the evening was the playing
of the prelude FuRue in q sharp. II
is very difficult to play a F'ugue en-
tirely from memory, but Miss Lund
carried this out without an inter
rupion. The sentimental side Of
music work was clearly depicted in
the piece, Dreaming" by Strauss
and the Waltz" in d nat, by Wien
iawsld. The lightness of her touch
and the delicacy Of the movements
were things TO be enjoyed. The play
ing OF the last number, the Concerto,
in A minor, was also well done.
Miss Hendriksen IL a pupil Of Miss
AIDA Blakealee of the voice depart
ment Of the school. and is possessed
OF wonderful lyric soprano. Her
notes are very clear and fiutelike and
she possesses the ability to reach II
above high G. an accomplishment Of
which few singers can boast. Miss
Hendrfksen sang the Charmant
Oiseau from "LaPerle De Brasil in
and she received hearty ap-
plause, as her rendition was truly
and her high notes were
beautiful. In the Theme
and Variation selection by Grieg. the
singer was given an opportunity to
display all the forms Of tone color
work, which she carried without
fault.
