REDS AND GERMANS ALLIES.


Guided a secret treaty with Germany
fore the great Polish offensive be-
gan, says a correspondent of the Lon
don Times. He claims he has secured
the information from excellent au-
tn ority.''
The treaty, it is asserted, contained
the following provisions:
Russia, without interference from
Germany, would be allowed to appro-
pirate all of Polands arms, NUM-
tons, rolling stock and foodstuffs.
Another of Poland is permission
would be given Russia to send a num-
Der of Bolshevik commissioners into
that country to control the export OF
Polish supplies of all kinds.
Russia would then undertake te
completely evacuate Poland in favor
of Germany, which would hold the
country as a guarantee against fu-
ture credits to Russia in return for
German goods and German labor.
Russia the correspondent adds
intends to try to avoid the terms OF
the treaty by the creation of a Polish
BolShevik army, the first steps in the
formation of which now are being
taken in occupied areas of Poland
When Russia withdrawS from Poland
she will leave this Polish army. per
hitting Germany to take such steps
as she can to face the situation. The
Bolsh eviki are convinced England will
not materially aid Poland and viii
wage their next campaign against
Rumania in Bessarabia.''

SHORT line ROADS
ARE N HARD LUCK
Motor Driven Highway
Vehicles Getting Their
Best Traffic
LRy Associated rrnsal

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE trials
OF railroad presidents who preside
over the destinies OF the country's
short lines are coming to light in
the hearings being given here to
more than 100 short lines whose
employees have petitloned the Uni.
ted States Railway Labor Board for
increased pay.
One Texas road, built primarily
to open up a route to some mineral
deposit beds, has to date the cham
pion hard luck tale, according to
G. W. w. Hanger, member of the
board. The president Of the line
explained he owned Al miles OF
track between two terminal cities.
His fast passenger train covered
the distance in two hours.
But between the two cities Is a
hard surfaced highway, and enter.
prlsl1g auto owners have opened a
bus line. The highway, on a direct
route, is little more than twenty
miles long, compared to the rail-
roads Al. The auto bus covers the
distance in 40 minutes, one hour
and twenty minutes faster than the
train, and charges the same fare.
The freight outlook he described
as equally bad. A company operat-
ing motor trucks with two trailers
to the truck hauls freight over the
highway faster than the road can
by train, delivers the goods at the
merchants store door, aud charges
the same tariff as the railroad. And
on top of his other troubles, 1t is
now estimated that the mineral de-
posts which furnish the main re-
manning sourc Of revenue will be
exhausted within three years.
The president Of an Alabama
short line whose principal source
OF revenue Is hauling ore to Btrm'
ingham furnaces appeared to de-
fend his company against six EN-
ployes, all station agents, who had
requested more money. Their
present income is $95 a month.
The railroad president exhibited
a personal knowledge Of the affairs
OF each Of his employees. One Of
the station agents, he said. owned
d country SIAIS Il LC" ! NAo AASAAA -
railroad station and had run his
telegraph wire into the store so he
could handle his duties as dispatch
er and operator while waiting on
customers. A second was described
as the wife of a prosperous farmer.
She had her telegraph line in the
farm kitchen, the president said.
OF the six operators only n was
located in a town, and that was n
village Of 500 population. The
president said his road paid no divi.
dends and operated at u loss OF
100000 last year.
Hearing of the more than 100
short line cases, each OF which is
being taken up separately. Is ex.
pected to continue for several
weeks. Decisions in all cases win
be handed down simultaneously.

meetings have been held in many
towns and the cooperation of the
citizens has been proffered Off
GERS in maintaining order.
Acts OF violence tor which night
riders have been given credit in
Arkansas have taken various forms.
In addition to the burning OF gins,
warehouses and other property,
farmers who attempted to market
their cotton have been threatened
with death or severe punishment,
and in some cases have been badly
m~altreated. Negro families have
been intimidated and driven from
their homes because they sought
employment or worked us cotton
pickers. Hundreds Of cotton gins
in various sections of the state
have been posted with warnings
against continuing to buy any gin
cotton, the threatened penalties for
not needing the warning including
destruction of the plants and for
fixture of the lives OF the owners
In one county eight men now are
awaiting action OF the grand jury
on a charge Of setting fire to a
ginnery, and in another section OF
the state three white farmers have
been sentenced to a years impris'
onment and assessed heavy fines
for intimidation of negro cotton
pickers.

POLAND TOWNS
WITHOUT BABIES
Distress Encounter
ed By American Re-
lief Workers

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Babyless
towns thickly dot the forlorn land
scape of Poland and in many OF
them there are no longer any births,
declared DR.. Herschel c. Walker,
chief Of the American Relief, Ad-
ministration, who recently returned
from that country. He supervised
the distribution Of American food
to Polish sufferers.
All of the infants born in the
stricken areas in the last two years
succumbed to starvation and the
diseases it introduces. or they have
been removed to places where they
can be properly fed.
Hundreds Of houses that once
echoed a baby's laugh are gone, and
whole families live in sQualid dug
outs without light or ventilation.
Some mothers have kept their
children alive On grasses and roots
made into thin. tasteless soup. Hun
ger brought the slaughter Of cows
by the wholesale, and milk a be
had now only by the wealthy.
These conditions precluded main
tenance OF the ordinary %birthrate,
but other s~ufferings have obliterat-
ed it almost entirely in parts OF
Poland, said DR.. Walker. Homes
have passed away with the de-
parture Of both men and women
for service in the army. Emacia-
ton Of the women and the preva-
lence of misery on every side has
made impossible or forbidden the
bringing of children into a world
in which only hunger, sickness and
early death appear to await them.

TIE GAN CARLOS ONE IF VAST IMP PORTANCE
Will Bring to Fertility 225,000 Acres of Fine Land In State Proved Entirely Feasible

One of the most important conser- vation projects in Arizona, as it Is one of the most important in the entire southwest, is that known as the San Carlos dam project. It has for it's ob- ject the impounding of the waters of the Gila river so as to furnish irriga- ton for the great Casa Grande val ley, lying in the south central part of Arizona between Phoenix and Tucson, and containing not less than 50o,000 acres of extremely fertile land.
 Through the valley flows the CSila river. the waters of which 1t is pro- posed to store through the so called San Carlos dam. This dam is to be constructed in the box canyon of the Gila river about five or six miles be- low San Carlos. Arizona. Such q dam.
 built according to the best ideas that have been brought forth by the project. will impound water sufficient to make lake many square miles in area and
 containing volume of water suf-
 ficient to cover 1,335,936 acres of land
 12 inches deep.
 This amount of water, termed 1,335t 936 acre feet, would be enough to pro-
 vide irrigation throughout the year to
 more than 150,00o acres-land which is now little more than primal desert in the heart of Pinal county.
 Cost About $8,0oo,0oo The cost of building the required dam and impounding the quantity of water outlined in the foregoing will be approximately $S.000.000. The dam.
 under the plans which have been pre- pared by those interested in the pros
 ject, will have a life of at least 223
 years, according to the United States board of army engineers This esti-
 mate of the life of the dam is based on the assumption that nothing at all
 will be done in the interval to remove
 silt deposits. while under modern
 methods of keeping the dam free Of
 excessive deposits it's life may be pro- longed indefinitely.
 Another factor which must be taken into consideration in examining the San Carlos dam propect is that irri- gation experience in the Salt River valley. lying adjacent to the Casa Grande valley and supplied with water from the Roosevelt dam. has shown that the irrigation of 150,000 acres under the San Carlos project will so raise the water level under adjoining lands within a few years that pumping | on these lands, which would not be l reached by the waters from the dam. would be easily feasible upon at least 1 1O0, 900 acres. In other words, the con struction of the San Carlos dam will increase in a few years, the pro- ductive area of central Arizona by 25O 00O acres, which is Q conservative estimate.
 To come now to a consideration of 1 the value in dollars and cents of the 1 proposed dam it is only necessary to point out that the fertilizing value of 1 Gila river silt in solution enriches the land at an estimated rate of $4S7 an acre each year. For 150, 1000 acres this estimate comes to an increase in
 value of s717, 1000 year-a tidy sum TOT ] (Continued on Page 4).

who has been a devoted protagonist of the San Carlos project for years, and to whose efforts is largely credited the growing belief in every part of the valley that the nett three years will see the San Carlos dam under con struction. The other members of this vigorous and active committee are M T. Clemans and Warren I. Davidson, who with Judge Baughn, represent the Florence unit, and the Hon. A. A. Jayne, Judge P. D.

Money for this dam, which will put water upon 2T,000 acres of land belonging to white settlers and 35,0OO belonging to Indians, has already been appropriat- ed, plans have been orawn and actual work. it is thought, will begin within sixty or ninety days.

CITY FINANCES SHOW
FINE IMPROVEMENT
Annual Report Shows Lynden Made
Big Gain In Cash During 1919; No
Warrants Outstanding

The Town of Lynden made a fin
ancial gain of five thousand dollars
during 1919. paid off all old indebt-
edness, and went on a cash basis
These are the outstanding items in
the annual report of the financial
condition that will be submitted to
the council this week by R. B. LIE
Coco, city clerk. The report is pub
lished in full in the adjoining col
umns.
Lynden now has a surplus of $13.-
216.31. as against $s.2S9.67 in 1919.
The advance is due to the improve
ments made in the water department
and the increase in cash on hand.
Not only has the town now no out
standing warrants on which 1t is pay
ing interest. but it itself is receiving
interest on the average balance of
its funds on deposit each month. In
1919, there were s2.967 in old war
rants, $4,5SS in 1917, and $5.9S9 in
1915.
