DRY LAND MEN RESOLVE NUT
 TO TAKE CASH
Important Action is Taken
 at Meeting and Committee
 of Ten is Named to Keep In Touch With Matter

meeting of the owners of those lands within the Salt River project which were not included in the farm unit plats, approximately some 16,0OO acres, was held yesterday afternoon at the Water Users building and was largely attended, a majority of the 300 owners of such lan@ being repre- scented.
 The meeting was called primarily for the purpose of taking some action with reference to the refund of assessments made some years ago for the conStruc- tion of power plants in connection with the project. At a recent meeting of the board of governors. the secretary of the association was instructed to re- fund to the land owners in this class, the amount that had been levied and collected from them. The total amount to be refunded and for which checks are now being mailed is a little less than $95,00O.
 After a full discussion of the situ- alton the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
 Return the Refund
 BE IT RESOLVED, That it is
 the sense of the owners of the so-
 called "dry lands" present and l represented at this meeting, that the action of the Salt River Valley | Water Users association, through | Its officers, in attempting to re-
 fund to the owners of land within
 the Salt River project that have
 not been placed upon the farm unit
 plats, assessments Nos. ,, 6 and ',
 levied and collected against said l lands for power purposes, to be
 without right at1thnrifx i'm,
 controvention of our contract as
 members of said association, and
 that we do not therefore accept
 said refund but return the same
 to said association.
 Might Jeopardize Position Upon motion the secretary of tn, meeting was instructed to immediately communicate with this class of lant owners, advising them of the adoption Of the above resolution and advisin; them that the acceptance of the refunt might seriously jeopardiZe their posi- tion in the future in the enforcement O their legal rights as members of tn Water Users Association.
 To adopt and put in force some plal of organization by which the rights O these owners may be more fully pro tected and enforced. a standing com mittee of 10, one from each counct district was appointed as follows: P. W. Griffen, T. M. Burroughs, Da McDermott, Frank Parker, A. W Flicljnger, J. T. Ware, J. R. Sheets, . J. Phillips, Charles Miller, John Cum mard.
 Frequent meetings of the committe will be held and general meeting, tn date of which will be later announced will be held in the near future.

signal corps men had 10 do some fast
work during the recent lighting to keep
up with the infantry and to keep COM
munications always open between head
quarters and the villages newly captur-
ed where the doughboys were.
The signal corps was the connecting
link between the infantry. artillery. am

signal corps did wonderful and lightn-
ing work. Every other department says
so.
IT'S no cinch being the signal corps

makes a push YOU have to get telephone
lines strung into the farthest ruins or
woods or wheat field. no matter how
many German shells are spattering

Then. about the time you get a wire
stretched along the ground and in work

them. This is the new post at Squee-
dunk. give us a ring to see how she
works" along comes another boche shell
and cuts the communication. There's
nothing 10 do but 20 out and find the
cut and fix it. andhfrabably more boche
shells are trying 10 make more cuts in
communications or even cut you off.
The signal corps had wires every
where. in bushes, along the ground. on
poles left by the boehes, underground
through ruins. HEADQUARTERS say they
never had such quick service, and they
were never out OF communication with
regiments longer than the few minutes
II took a signal corps man to inspect the
wire and repair a break.
