MUST USE IRRIGATION
WATER WITH GREAT CARE
Yakima Project Manager Says Strict
est Conservation Necessary to
Prevent Shortage.

Manager j. L. Lytel, of the Yaki-
ma reclamation project, admonishes
waterusers to conserve irrigation
water to the utmost to the end that
serious water shortage may be pre-
vented. According to a survey OF the
reclamation service there were 3l6,-
900 acre feet of storage water avail
able for the Yakima valley on August
1. There is also available the natural
flow of the Yakima river and its trlb-
utaries, which this year are at their
lowest point in many years.
No fears of water shortage are
entertained for the Columbia and the
Horn Rapids projects for the reason
that the lower river is fed largely
from return flow from the Yakima
project.
present indications are that there
will be sufficient water to mature all
crops, Lytel says, provided farmers
use the water to the best advantage.
It will be necessary to do this as it is
not likely that there will be extra wat
er for any one. The flow in all streams
supplying the reservoirs is very low;
in fact, the lowest, according to some
of the old residents, in many years.
"The natural flow of the Yakima
river, according to the records, is al
most as low as in 1915, which was an
exceptionally low year. The snowfall
in the mountains last year, was, with
one exception, the lowest on record.
Had it not been for the snowfall early
in April, the water supply would have
been extremely limited and the stor-
age reservoirs would not have been
filled.
"In order to conserve, and make the
best use of the available water, it is
necessary for each individual water
user to continue the practice of econ
omy and care in his irrigation, and all
waterusers under the Yakima project
are urged to give the matter of distri-
buti6nNno than ordinary considera-
ton during the remainder of the irri-
| cation season."
The storage water on hand is divid-
ed among Lake Kachess, with 1876, 600
acre feet; Keechelus, with $4,000;
Dumping, 29,500; Gle Elum, $4,000;
and Clear creek. 1000.

ways. The best expert estimates
available indicate that the receipts
from motr vehicle licenses will in
crease each year but if this is not
enough considerable federal aid mon

so that worry in that direction is un-
called for. .as ...l-

Mr.. Guilbert still likes to talk about
that eastern Washington good roads
association which failed to endorse
the Carlyon bill. No one ever heard
of this association until Mr.. Guilbert
called it together inviting to it those
whose minds he thought would track
with his but even at that his resolu.

should they succeed in defeating the

No doubt Benton county and the
Yakima valley interests will receive
careful consideration from these peo-
pie, the same as they always have.
A fair sample of what it is was DEM
onstrated at the good roads conven-
ton at Yakima year ago when they
did everything they could not only to
defeat endorsement of the Carlyon
bill but to prevent endorsement of the
Kennewick- Pasco bridge resolution.
The Yakima valley will do well to
stick together in framing a state road
program and take counsel of only
those who have its interest at heart.
Mr.. Guilbert throws in for good
measure the worn out argument that
there may not be enough available
money to finish the designated high

* LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE y
MTMMMXM Xxx * X Xxx * * y
Mr.. Editor:
notice in your last issue. the letter
from Mr.. Guilbert of Spokane, who
attempts to bolster up Mr.. Moores
arguments anent the Carlyon bill. He
rather takes exception to my calling
their objections to some of the provis-
ions of the bill old stuff" / did that
because all these objections have been
carefully considered by the state con-
vention of county commissioners and
good roads association who decided by
a large majority that they were en-
TITLED to little weight. I suppose,
however, they should be threshed over
as long as any are interested in them.
Mr.. Guilbert puts great stress on
the amount of interest that will be
paid on the bonds to be issued under
section 8. In this connection it is
well to note that while the bond issue
is authorized by this section, the SELL
ing of the bonds is not made manda-
tory. In fact the paragraph that pro-
hibits their sale except on per cent
interest basis would indicate that
money conditions must change ma
terially before they could be sold. In
other words it is not expected that any
attempt will be made to sell these
bonds until labor is more plentiful
and materially cheaper and interest
rates lower.
Mr.. Moores says no other state has
a similar law, but Mr.. Guilbert says
it is copied after the Illinois law on
highway construction and tells how it
has worked out there. He says very
few of the bonds have been sold and a
very small part of the program car
ried out on account of labor and ma
terial conditions. This situation may
prevail for some time and little may
be done in the next couple of years
or so. But, Mr.. Editor, the real value
Of the Carlyon bill does not lie in
selling the bonds but the authorizing
of them will serve a useful purpose
in that it will be strong tie to keep
up to the definite program" out
lined in the bill, and will keep the next
legislature from altering it or divert
ing the motor vehicle license fund in
other directions. Who can tell but
during the next two or four years la
Dor may be plentiful and material
cheaper so that advantage may be
taken Of the bond issue to put the
work forward to completion. 1 can
see no objection to it myself and if
Illinois has adopted this plan, as he
says, / do not see where it is any ar
gument against it and it only looks
like good business judgment.
All this talk is for the purpose of
breaking up the definite program"
and this is revealed in Mr.. Guilbert's
letter in the paragraph where he re-
fers to construction of another state
highway through Benton county. This
is an old trick and will deceive no
one. may say it is old stuff" as it
is pulled by some crowd every year
at our good roads convention but none
pays any attention to it any more.
1t is an open secret that the Spokane
bunch with Mr.. Guilbert at the head
have a program of their own for dis
posing of the moneys in the motor
vehicle license fund and this will be
rushed to the legislature at once

WHY WE SUCCEED

COUNTY FAIRS, Camivals and other public en-
~ tertainments, more than any other business en-
terprses are founded upon confidence. In or
der to succeed they must have the absolute faith of
the people that the programs as advertised will be
carried out that nothing will be abridged or cur
tailed, or eliminated. no matter what the immediate
sacrlhce to the management may be.
Because this is sacredly guarded and observed
is the main reason that we uniformly successful
That is why we always get and hold the crowds
Another thing for which we stand preeminent
and which plays large part in the success of our
fairs, is the insisting upon absolute honesty and fair
play in every event. Such thing as ''chucked"

come out ahead of the faster one-wl not be toler-
ated on the local track The man who bets his money
on any animal entered in events staged here there

kind. This is important.
Other elements which make for success and have
eliminated in the present high order of our sporting
events in Cedar City, is beraty in the amont of en-
tertainment afforded at each interval. Something

full value for admission money.
And courtesy and good fellowship for visitors and

CEDAR'S best exhibit cannot be brought and en-
~ tered at the fair grounds. 1t is Cedar Canyon
and Cedar Breaks 1t is as yet impossible to get
to the Breaks by car but the splendid scenery of the
canyon accessible with short, pleasant ride Many
avaing themselves of this opportunity to the
canyon, and none have yet come back without saying
the trip was well worth the time. Road Engineer
Gowans showed us some snapshots of the big steam
shovel and of other points in the canyon and on the
Breaks that prove the exceptional scenic worth of
those masterpieces of nature. The sight of steam
shovel of itself is hardly worth going nine miles to
enjoy But it is the location of this particular shovel.
away up on the face of cliff eating its way through
the rock at such dizzy elevation. that makes the
picture. 1t gives hint of the mighty grandeur of the
canyon.
So, to all fair visitors we feel to say. do not miss
the best exhibit which is Cedar Canyon and to say
does not in any way deract from the excellence of
the exhibits on the fair grounds.
