INF ER|AL' VALLEY
CANAL WILL SOON
Be ALL AME RICAN

| tBT MORNING JOURNAL SFE6iAL LEASED
Washington. Jan. 4 Reconstruction
| Of an all-American canal along the
! California border to remove from
! Mexico control over the system of
! the Imperial valley, the largest irri-
cation project in the United States is
| contemplated in a bill Representative
Kettner, of California plans to intro
| duce in the house 1t viii make pro-
| vision for opening to purchase or
| settlement by honorably discharged
soldiers, sailors and marines with
war service of 200, 900 acres of public
! lands on the east mesa of the valley,
which will be irrigahle from the pro-
posed canal.
The bin is redraft worked out
during the holiday recess by sub
committee of the house committee on
irrigation of arid lands. which has
had several measures designed to re-
leve the situation existing in Tmperi-
al valley under consideration. Hear
ings before the committee brought
out that the crops of the Imperial
valley, which residents said reach a
value of 100000, 900 annually, are de-
pendent upon the uninterrupted flow
of the main canal of /the irrigation
system which, from the diversion
point on the COLORADO river, SWINGS
through Mexican territory for forty
miles before distribution is made to
the American ranchers. The water
users on the Mexican side, where
over 100, 900 acres are being irrigated,
do not wish to join in the maintain
ance of the main canal and the pro-
tectve works in Mexico, according to
testimony presented to the congress
siOnal committee.
Relief is sought through the build
ing of a highline canal entirely on
American soil making necessary a
cut through a dow range of sandhills,
which the present main canal avoids
by the detour into Mexico. Approx
imately 100000 acres of withdrawn
public lands, similar in quality to that
of Imperial valley but lying above
the present Imperial canal system,
will come under the proposed all
American canal, according to re-
clamation service estimates. Under
the Kettner bill 100000 acres would

rams at $1.25 an acre or at the dis
erection of the secretary of the interior,

soldier settlement legislation as the
congress may enact.

To Vote Schoo, Bonds.

Gallup is going to vote $4,000
worth of bonds for the purpose of pur-
chasing a school site and erecting
buildings for the accommodation to
the school pupils of the district. The
present school building is inadequate
for all the children. The Funari build
ing on the north side built for a bust
ness house, has been used as a grade
school building for the past three
years. 1t is not properly constructed
for such a building, but it has been
temporarily arranged to accomm odate
a large number of pupils. The room
over the boiler used for heating the
main school building has for the past
five years been used as a class room
for one of the grades. Two of the low
er grades are occupying rooms in the
basement of the Methodist church.
The school board through the taxpay-
ers are paying rent for the use of the
buildings outside of the main school
building. The need for additional
school facilities is very urgent and all
Gallup should turn out and vote in ia
vor of the bonds on the l4th day of
January.-Gallup Independent.

THE Personally Behind the Presi-

her Of the Atlantic Monthly. Mir. Gras-

of The ablest American Journalists now
living, and he has had exceptional OPP
portunities to know woodrow Wilson.
The article in the Atlantic Monthly is
his Interpretation Of the personality Of
the president.
In passing, il is interesting to note
that Mr.. Grasty believes Woodrow
Wilson might have become a great
editor. He tells the story of how he
attempted to secure the services of
Mr.. Wilson as editor of the Baltimore
sun as follows:
when, at the beginning of 1910.
] acquired control of the Baltimore
sun, | learned from one of my asso-
ciates who was then a trustee of
Princeton that President Wilson
might soon be leaving that institution.

may be well to relate another inter-
view between Mr. Grastv and Wood

the democratic candidate if he could

The Bank of Springer, the first
banking institution established in this
city in January, 1906, was converted
into the First National Bank of
Springer on the first of the year. The
First National Bank of Springer is an
institution that Springer can rightfully
boast as one of the best in the State
and much credit is due to the men
that have built up this institution from
a small community bank to what it is
today. Mr.. d. j. Devne was the first
cashier of the bank. This position he
held from 1906 until the fall of 1907;
then Mr. Charles C. Hortenstein was
appointed cashier and held that posi-
lion until 1912, when Mr.. G. r. Brown,
the present cashier, was placed at the
head of the institution and under his
supervision and management has
progressed enough to warrant its en-

TEST OF a VERMONT LAW.

That the commissioner of industries
is determined to give workingmen full
advantage of the workmens compensa-
ton act is shown in the recent decision
in a Bennington case. Simeon J. Kel-
ley while cutting lumber for the Hoosac
Lumber Co. in Woodford was fatally in
iured and his widow asked for compensa-
ton provided by the workmen's compen-
satiOn act. The company objected.
claiming that Mr.. Kelley was earning in
excess of $4,000 a year and thus net
entitled to compensation, also that he
was cutting logs by the thousand and
was therefore a contractor rather than a
laborer. The commissioner overruled
these contentious, apparently holding
that to be excluded by the $4,000 wage
limit a workman must be steadily en-
pIoycd or actually receiving $4,000 from
the firm or corporation at the time of
the accident, and ruled that cutting logs
by the thousand is piece work rather
than a contract. 1t is said the case
probably will be taken to the supreme
court for decision before these rulings
by the commissioner are accepted.
Employers will watch this case with
considerable interest because it will de
terInine the extent to which they are
liable for injuries received while a man
is working on a contract. A company
cannot dictate the conditions or the risks
of man working upder a contract and
some will feel they should not be held
responsible for accidents occurring I'M
der such conditions.
Several years ago, when there was a
commission of three handling the work
mems compensation, the board decided
that a corporation was liable for the
injury Of a man in the employ of a
painter to whom the corporation had
given the contract for painting one of
its buildings but tn" decision of the
was reverted when the case
went into the courts.
