REHOB0TH TO MOVE
Houses VIII Be Placed at Safety
Point-HenIopen LIaht Stands


Rehoboth, Delaware's chief resort on
the Atlantic ocean, is going to move
away from the waters edge. Many of
the houses are built on the edge of a
sandy embankment which is undermined
when the ocean is rough. The struc-
lures are to be moved back so as to be
out of the reach of the waves.
During the storm. last Thursday, the
Boardwalk was demolished and the
water carried away the sand and earth
in front of the houses fronting Vn the
sea.
Old IIenlopen lighthouse was still
standing after the storm, although there
was fear that its foundation would be
undermined. Colonel Dorey. COM
mander of the Philadelphia lighthouse
district, has decided that il will be
necessary to strengthen the foundation
of the lighthouse to prevent future dan
ger. Waves have washed away the
sand to a point within fifty feet of the
lighthouse base.

HARNESS THE COLORADO

In addressing the chamber of COM
merce of Los Angeles, on his return
to California, Franklin X. Lane, for
mer secretary of the interior, touched
upon several things of interest to the
Pacific Coast, but on none with more
force and eloquence than the reclaim
alton in the Colorado River Basin
Here are few disconnected sentences
We have, as they have in England
little Englanders and big Englanders
little Americans and big Americans
The big Americans are those who have
eyes to see what America can be
what she can be intellectually; what
she can be spiritually; what she car
be industrially; how she can serve the
world best.
We are getting to have a new ap-
praisement of things. Money doesn't
seem to be quite as much consequence
as it was. The larger men who deal
in large figures look upon themselves
with less admiration because of the
great sums that they have accumulat-
ed and to ask themselves constantly
of what use. is this money; how can
make it serve better and how can |
put to the larger service of my fellow
men the talents that l have?
The thing that tests us all is our
value to each other, and California
by that test, and Califorpians, by that
test, loom large in the eyes of the ma
tion and in the eye of the world.
We have not yet upon this coast
obtained the Pacific sense; the con-
sciousness of the Pacific and of its
possibilities. There are hundreds OF
millions of people who are today just
awakening economically, industrially
socially, politically-those people
should get their impulse and their i'm
press from US, and we should show
for tn to them the finer qualities OF
Christian civilization and make them
conscious that this is land in which
Christianity not merely CONNER
cial system.
| hear that in part of this state
there is a shortage of rain, it should
not be vital to us in any way if there
is a shortage of rain in one part OF
the state or another, because the
whole community should be independ-
ent by reason Of the largeness of its
resources and our interdependence
and our closeness of relationship in
transportation. We have just begun
to realize that this is railway age;
yes, that it is a steamboat age; yes
that it is an electric age; yes, that it
is gasoline, oil, petroleum age; yes
and that we are now living in Los
Angeles alone. but we are living in
Java and Alaska and New York and
the islands of the sea, and all are
bound together and you men of COM
merce must come up in your vision
and appreciate that you are not serv-
ing merely the men who lie immediate
ly at your doors, but that you are like
J those old men who lived in Boston q
Imperial Valley press., 1920-04-17

century ago, who sent their ships
across the sea and first started the
commerce with the Orient and like
those men of Henry VIII's time, who
went round the world carrying their
flag and giving a conception of our
civilization to the peoples of the
world.
We who are in California are rich
in vision and we are rich in this; that
we can make men see what we see.
We have eyes and we can make others
see through those eyes and that is
what you have done. That~is the reas-
on that this land has been subject to
some magical transformation; that is
the reason why you must make men
in Washington see that the Colorado
River shall be put to use.
l tell you gentlemen, it takes moth
ing excepting little brains, a little
money, little patience, little per-
sistence, a little faith, and long time
to make congress see anything.
We have a reclamation act. We
have invested $115,000,OOO in the de-
velopment Of Western lands. Last
year, the crop from those lands was
worth $S7,000,000
What are you going to do in MAX
ing congress realize that there are
acres which the world needs brought
into the service because of the pecu-
liar character of the soil and of the
climate and that must lie unused in
large part until somebody has the
money to combine with the engineer
ing sense to store the water of the
grand Colorado, the tributaries of the
Colorado down,-and then let those
waters out over the land below in Cal
ifornia, in Arizona, in Lower Califor-
MIA, in such way as to bring about
the greatest result?
That is not petty proposition.
There is no other one possibility in
The United States that will involve
as much money. One hundred mil
lion dollars ought to be spent in the
development of the Colorado River in
the next ten years.

The question of adjusting trade re-

laid before thu Cabinet. Pressure has
been brought to bear for this Govern
ment to make some arrangement with
Canada whereby there can be a better
trade understanding between the two
nations.
The white paper shortage and the
Canadian embargo on expectation of
pulp wood into the United States has
brought about a situation which
makes it imperative that closer trade
relations be established.
