Crop OF Smiths Is
Greater, Says 1918
Dnectoru, lust Out

That the city's crop of Smiths for
1917 was greater by about 20 than
for 1916 is one OF the things that can
be discovered from a comparison Of
the new 1913 Hudspeth city directory,
Just issued. with the book Of 1917.
Schmidt and Smidt seem TO have de-
creased in popularity as regular ad
dresses.
The Jones name seems to be hold
ing its own. but the family OF Garcia
has increased by about so.
The appearance of Hudspeth's city
directory Tuesday marks the advent
OF the first made in El Paso cirec-
tory since 1902. when Edwin Buck
issued one. Since then the city direc-
tories Of FL Paso have been compiled
here. but have been printed and bound
in other cities. Under the supervis-
ion of 7. H Hudspeth, general man
ager Of the Hudspeth Directory com
pany. the new directory was compiled
and issued by Ell Paso concerns.
The new directory's completeness Is
illustrated by the fact that it contains
892 pages, against less than $50 pages
for the 1917 directory. An increase
in population probably accounts for
this increase in the size OF the direc-
tory. The book is well filled with
advertising.

GUNPLAY BARS
MEN ON CANAL
But Later Ysleta Farmer
Settles Dispute, Says the
Reclamation Counsel.

Gun play was used by a rancher at
Ysleta in an attempt to stop the
operation of an irrigation canal con-
struction crew, which was starting
across his land, last Saturday, accord
ing to Porter W. Dent, district coun-
sci for the local office Of the U. s.
reclamation service An amicable set
Element Of the dispute has been eff.
fected, however. and the canal crew
has completed the ditch through the
land in question he said
Saturdays incident is the second
Of like nature to occur within two
weeks. The first was settled by the
granting Of an injunction against the
ranch owner, forbidding interference
in the operation of a drainage rig
which was crossing the ranch Both
cases are but instances Of a general
misunderstanding OF the rights Of the
reclamation service with regard to
rightsofway, according to 1. IL Law
sen, project manager, and district
counsel Dent.
Has Rights to Cross.
The reclamation service has
right to cross any tract of land with
out charge" said Mr.. Lawson. This
right was upheld by the court in the
Ease u MIS-. W. II BOMGls OF O4llls
who held cut for an exOrbitant price
for her land. The decision Of the
court was based on the clause of a
contract, which the original owner
of Mrs. Bowen's ranch had signed,
which promised to give rightofway
without charge to any canal. or other
irrigation or drainage construction,
tht was surveyed to cross the land
That means that We have q right to
cross the land Of any Of the signers
Of that contract, without paying a
cent. As a matter OF fact, we have
been in the habit OF paying 4 just
price for land we have 10 cross where
We saw that our work must destroy
improvements, or work unWarranted
on the owner. For instance
II man had five-acre tract. and
we wanted to put canal through IL
that would take about four acres. we
have always been willing to pay him
for it. But when. as in the Bowen
case. someone wants to hold US up. we
exercise the right we have by con-
tract, and go through for nothing"
Government Doesn't Profit.
People seem to think that the gov
eminent is making lot Of money out
of the reclamation service" said Mr.. /
Dent AS a matter Of fact the land /
owners themselves are the only bene- I
,iciaries. and the government doesn't 1
get cent out OF the service. The gov
srnment advances the money for the /,
work. and gives the water users 20 I
years to pay II back, and doesn't even /
,harge interest on the investment So I
hat whenever we pay a ranch owner 4
or his property. it is not the govern 1
nent who has to stand It; the water I
