lover of California should make his
slogan, water on every acre and
power for every purpose" Governor
William ID. Stevens declared mere last
night in an address at the banquet of

life giving guiding agencies. And
we must. within our capabilities, pro-
vide for those who are going to fol-
low.
There remain 100000 acres pos
sible of irrigation in California. This
is an empire in extent and in its pos
sibilities. More can be produced on
this area alone than can be raised in
the whole area of some other states, if
water is produced"
Governor Stephens urged the farm
ers and fruit growers to vote in No

call upon you to vote yes on this
proposition" he said. Take some
one with you to the polls and help the

belong to California, and when we
help them to own homes and farms
we cause greater interest in Califor-

production of fruit. vegetables, grain
and livestock. When we help Cali

Steilacoom. Inquiry disclosed that a
workman had missed an old coat about
the date mentioned. He later identi-
fled the coat as Ills, according to the

Meanwhile the gravel pit was
searched and under discarded boil
er was found a grumpled garment
identified as one of the coats worn by
convicts on McNeils Island.
