NEW IRRIGATION
 PROJECT TO OPEN
 9Q,000 ACRES LAND

The Gila Bend country of Arizona, long the undisputed domain of the jackrabbit and the horned toad is the latest section of the arid southwest to make bid for agricultural honors.
 Chas. S. Fee, Passenger Traffic Manager of the Southern Pacific is advising the railroads local and east ern representatives of new irrigation projects involving the reclamation of thousands of acres lying along the Sunset Route in territory where farming was undreamed of a few years ago.
 One project, already under way, will make productive by irrigation a tract of 85,000 acres of land 22 miles north and east of Gila, Arizona. F. A. Gillispie of Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the moving spirit in the enterprise. Wat CT for the project will be stored in the Gila mountains where a dam, the foundation of which is laid in solid rock, vii be ready for January of next year. A canal 40 miles long has al- ready been completed

HUNT WILL LEAVE
 FOR SUNNY SIAM

Ex-Governor G. w. P. Hunt will
 leave on the nineteenth of next month
 for Siam, where he will hold down the post of minister to that country.
 For a time it was thought that he would fail of confirmation by the sen ate, but as a tribute to Senator Mark A. Smith the United States senate agreed to his confirmation. Siam is a most peculiar country and one of its peculiarities is in it's plural marriage system. If man goes to jail he can be given his liberty by marrying any girl who may put in . bid for him, no matter if he is the husband of sev- eral wives at the time. The king, we believe, is a graduate of Yale, but al though he has in way adopted the ways of the western hemisphere he still clings to some of the peculiar customs of the orient. The country has held aloof from the influence of Japan, which influences have domin- ated nearly all the nearby countries of the orient. It is country of TO- nance and it is said that those who go from the staid countries of the west are sure to put in the balance of their lives amid the tropical cline of that old world.

The governor is president of the League of the Southwest and is working hard to bring about the great reclamation scheme that the building of the Bould
 CT Canyon dam contemplates. He OK poets to go on to Washington to ex- plain to the congress the great i'm portance of this project to the states adjoining and to the nation as a whole

WEALTHY IMMIGRANTS

That all the wealth of the country was not absorbed by the profiteers of the United States was evidenced the other day when the immigration of ficials at the port of New York were Investigating the conditions of newly arrived passengers from South Amer ican liners. One family is said to have displayed wealth in excess of $300,000 and one woman, when quiz zed by the port officer, stated that the smallest amount she had was check on a Pacific coast bank of $11,- 900. A Syrian woman, travelling with her mother, carried $2,000 in her sock and had letters of credit for many more thousands. These people came to the United States to get away from unusual conditions in their native countries and brought their en- tire belongings with them. Some of them had wonderful collections of jewels, such as would make a movie actress envious.

GAS LEAK STOPS
 FLIGHT FOR RECORD

Mineola. N- Y- Ice. 22-Lieut Ross c. Kirkpatrick, army fiier who was forced down early today while tttempting to break the worlds rec ord for continuous flight, will have another try at the record soon, he declared upon alighting from his 400 horse power army plane.
 Lieutenant Kirkpatrick landed at Mitchell Field at 1:36 o'clock this morning, owing to gasoline leak, after being in the air little over IS hours. about six hours short of the record.
 The army fier and Max Good nough, his civilian mechanician, made several efforts to mend the pipe but tn eleak was located under the cock pit and was inaccessible in mid air. The fuel supply was virtually exhaust ed when they came to earth.
 Their original intention was to re- main aloft at least 36 hours and suf- ficient gasoline and food were taken to have enabled them to do so-
 The record for continuous flight is held by Lieutenant Boussoutrot, a French pilot, who remained in the air over Vilesauvage-la-Ma gue, France "A hours, 19 minutes and seven sec onds last June.

FRENCH ENJOY
 DROP IN PRICES

Paris, Dec. 22-There has been a well-defined movement downward in the prices of a number of commodi- ties in France since last March. Whether, like the last decline in Ns-ices, it will prove merely transitory and be followed by a reaction, send ing prices soaring again, remains to be seen.
 Coffee is one of the latest com modities to decrease in the wholesale price. The decline, however. cannot be noticed at all in retail sales. Or dinary red wine now sells for 1.30 francs a litre, or about a quart. This is hte 'fvin rouge ordinaire'' which American soldiers used to buy at two francs per litre.
 Sugar which sold at high as $50 francs Q ki1o now can be obtained at 3.75. -The vice presid ent > of the French Grocers' Union explains that the fall is due to the decrease in the price of sugar in America and the re- port that Cuban wholesalers are pre- pared to export 100000 tons to Europe.
 Shoes also went down following a marked edcrease in the price of raw hides. Raw cotton, wool and silks are among the articles, price of which has dropped.
 There are, however, many com modities which have not materially decreased in price, such as eggs, milk, bread and meat.
