THE PRESS AND THE CAMPAIGN

From now until after the election
heavy demands will be made upon the
various political papers. by their re-
spective parties, for free space to pre-
sent the issues. and the claims of var
ious candidates from president down
through state legislative, judicial and
local tickets and with the claim and
feeling that since such papers areNpar-
tisan, they should give freely their
space. their labor. their talent. and
their means to further the election of
the whole ticket. Why?
The chances are that the press. es-
pecially the country press, more than
ever, will ask this question in this
campaign. Not that they are not for
Mr.. Harding or Mr., Cox or other lead
ing candidates. or the principles they
may represent, but as a matter of be-
ing square with themselves, their own

DOING GOOD BUSINESS
WITHOUT THE GOVERNOR

HlIHOUI IHE UOt EhNUR
While our governor is junketing
around the United States on political
business under the guise of boosting
Arizona's reclamation prospects it is
refreshing to note that some Of our
public officers are really doing some
constructive work in behalf of our
state. The following telegram from
Hon. Carl Hayden explains itself:
Winslow, Ariz., August "a, 1920
Hon w, A Mouer.
"State Land Commissioner,
Phoenix
"Have practically completed ar
rangements for soil survey and am
just advised by wire from Director
Davis of reclamation service. that he
has detained engineer to examine
Little Colorado river irrigation pro-
ject Also will arrive Winslow Fri
day night. August twenuy-ssventh.
In view of state lands involved
sincerely trust that you can be here
to go over the situation next Sat-
urday.
"(Signed) carl Hayden"
The Little Colorado river irriga-
ton project has been the subject of
interests for several years. But as
usual in such cases it has been found
almost impossible to finance the con-
struction of so great an enterprise,
The State of Arizona owns a large
acreage of land in the proposed pro-
iect, so Congressman Carl Hayden
and Land Commissioner w, A. Mouer
succeeded in interesting the U, S.,
reclamation service in the undertak-
ing.
The project contemplates a series
of storage dams in the valley of the
Little Colorado river for water storz
age purposes. The water so stored
to be distributed to very fertile
u oSI IL AoAu iyiA6 WOoI - O1u IhO
town of Wins1ow.
If sufficient storage can be found
some 10000 to $4,000 acres of land
may be fully reclaimed. as the re-
cord of stream discharge indicates
water supply in the Little Colora-
do river quite equal to that of the
Salt river project. Some authorities
claiming even greater water supply.
The State owns some $4,000 acres
of land in the proposed project con-
sisting Of school sections and other
land selected by Commissioner Mouer
So far irrigation development has
been confined to the southern part
of Arizona and the construction of
the Winslow project will mean much
to the northern half of the state,
1t is stated by those familiar with
the Winslow project that it's cost will
be far below any of the more south
ern projects.
We repeat that it is refreshing to
find some one alert to the resources
of Arizona and able to bring them to
the attention Of the federal authori-
ties.-Messeng

POTATO PRICES
NOW AND THEN
High Prices of Spuds Now Re-
calls Time When They Were
Given Away

The present price of potatoes re-
minds one of prices of this almost in
diSpenSable commodity some ten or
eleven years ago Old potatoes are
now worth about So a bushel in the To-
cal market, and few are to be had,
while the quality is not the best. In
fact, there was an old-pOtato famine
in LadySmith this week and some of
the restaurants were entirely shy of
them, until a Ladysmith young man
with an eye to business went over to
Bruce and got few bushels to re-
lieve the situation for a day or two.
New potatoes are something in the ma
ture of a luxurious necessity Just now
and are worth around 50 buShel, To-
cal grown stock not yet being on the
market to any apprecable extent
But, we started out to say something
about the price Of potatoes ten or
eleven years ago in Rusk county. We
were reminded Of this by n White
ford, who was at that time engaged in
farming four miles southwest of La
dysmith. on the farm now owned by
Herman Simon.
Mr.. WhitefOrd raised crop Of 100
bushels of excellent potatoes. IN the
fall of that year the market price here
was 80 cents a bushcl. That looked
too low to Mr.. Whiteford, so he filled
his basement chOcll full of the fine
tubers, to hold them until spring and
higher prices. When spring arrived
the price had dropped to 10 cents, re-
tail, in the Ladysmith market and
farmers were offered 10 cents 1t did
lOt pay a farmer to haul them in to
market at this price and Mr.. White
ford, with the aid of hired men,
dumped his crop Of potatoes, which he
had carried over winter at consider
able expense, into the Flambeau river
which flows near by the farm. The
haul was much shorter to the river
than to the market, and more profit
able. That was what broke Mr..
WhitefOrd's agricultural heart and he
soon afterward retired from the Occu
patton of growing foodstuffs for the
people.
That was the spring when E. NJ.
Worden, then Ladysmith merchant,
sold potatoes from his store at 10 cents
per bushel and later in the season
gave them away to any who would
come to the store and get them. He
also was compelled to dump a lot of
potatoes. OF course, everything is
higher now, and potatoes, in particu-
lar.

Ladysmith lost to Phillips Sunday at

Although both teams made about an

team was clearly outclassed in every
department of the game. Especially
in batting did the locals make very
poor showing although opposing

Ladysmith scored the first run in the
second session. but Phillips came back
in their half and put two men around
the circuit Another Phillips tally in
the third inning ended the scoring UNI
til the seventh inning. when LadySmth
showed two tallies across and tied up
the score. Then the balloon went up
and when the last half of the seventh
ended seven new runs were chalked up
on the score board and it was all over
but the shouting.

help from their umpire, and that wOr-

RANGE FROM S75 TO $145

salaries are still inadequate in Rusk

Thirty-five Rusk county instructors
