Forty thousand acres of rich agri- culture land will soon be added to the tillable acreage of the Salt River valley as a result of the recent passage of a s2,0O0, 900 bond issue by the Auxiliary Eastern Canal Irrigation district AL though a vote of nearly 75 per cent was cast at the special bond election last week, not one ballot was recorded against the proposed issue.
 Proceeds from the sale of bonds are to be used in constructing and install ing pumping plant capable of raising to a height of 50 feet, $50 second feet of water from a point on the Eastern canal. and the acquisition of the right to divert, by means of the Granite Reef dam, flood and surplus waters of the Salt and Verde rivers and their carriage through the South and East ern canals to the pumping plant, there to be diverted and raised by its means
 Plans also call for the construction of a cement-lined main canal, to be known as the Auxiliary Eastern canal, and a lateral system. sufficient to re- ceive said $50 second feet of water when diverted and raised by means of the proposed pumping plant. Ultimate plans also call for the construction of a hydro electric power plant on the Salt River Or elsewhere, as deemed ad- visable, for the purpose of furnishing power for the operation of the pump ing plant and the furnishing of power to land owners within the district for pumping and domestic purposes. Con- Struction of sub stations and trans mission lines and the installation of motors, system of wells and pumps for the purpose of developing under ground waters, are also proposed al some future date.

Immediately after sale of the bonds, he announced actual construction work will start. The en- tire system, he estimated, win be com pleted within a period of six or eight months.

 project, Engineer Reed said yesterday The entire tract is situated on the eastern boundary of the present rec lamation project, being east of Mesa Gilbert and Chandler and extending
 north and south, from the Eastern ca nal to distance of about one mile south and east of Chandler. About 5000 acres of the tract are now under
 cultivation by means of individua
 pumping projects. Higley is the only
 town in the irrigation district. Among other things, the project eslls for the enlargement of the South and Eastern canals down to point where the Auxiliary Eastern canal takes its outlet. At the point of outlet, the d,s- trict will construct it's large pumping plant, consisting of four units, eacf | having a capacity of STE second feet

CALIFORNIA WILL
 SHARE PAVING COS7

That the highway commission of California will bear one-half the cost of paving the highway bridge across the Colorado at Yuma was the word re- Ceived at the state highway depart ment yesterday. Some time ago the department sought the cooperation on the repair work and after many delays the California commission agreed to pay one third of the cost.
 Thomas Maddock. state engineer in sisted that under the law their share was one-half and since the neighbor ing state has agreed to do its part, ar rangements will be made for the work, which has been deemed necessary, due to the dangerous condition of the bridge.
 The contract will be let shortly and with no other fund available the 75 per cent fund of Yuma county will be applied to the work. The highway de- partment is figuring on putting on a two-i inch wearing surface.

the great schism Of 1741, between
the Old and Ned Sides. Bitter feeling
existed between the two parties. The
New Side part OF the New Castle
Prosbytery held their first meeting at
the White Clay Creek Church. They
met under the name of the New Lon

that Of New Castle. and during the
schism both the presbyteries claimed
that name. The first meeting of the
reunited Presbytery was held az

by the public, and that the supply and demand for
these funds both increased by general prosperity
When the relations of a Bank to its patrons as set
forth herein fully understood it will be that
many of the criticisms directed at bankers made
without consideration for the facts. They assume
freedom in the use of the funds which the banker
does not have and usually they disregard the funda
mental conditions under which the business must be
conducted.
The Bankers Chief Obligation
T>HE BANKER s first obligation is to safeguard the
funds in his custody, and keep himself in position
all demands for their Every other claim
upon him is subordinate to this The banking business
would disappear if this requirement were not strictly
observed. 1t is enough that loan shall good
in the sense that there is ample security guarantee
its payment sometime; it must be collectible when
due if the banker is be securei in his position
He must be able to arrange the maturities of his bills
that his outstanding funds will be always return
ing to him in a steady flow, and that he may con-
tinually re-dispose of them to the changing
needs of his customers. The funds which patron
borrows in the spring may represent the surplus which
another patron has that tme and by fall the latter
will not only want all Of his funds but claim
the privilege of being borrower in his turn.
AS bank derives its lending power from the COM
munity in which it is located, serving only as mana

that any change in business conditions that affects the

quickly affect the lending power of the bank.

Some things about Banking you should understand

cannot of itself supply wealth the community. 1t
is receptacle, reservoir of the floating, liquid
wealth of the community. Its function is to aid
production and trade by making this floating wealth
available and useful than it could be with
being gathered together. 1t is agency for the
more efficient and handling of the community's
wealth, but not for making wealth by any magical
method, such as the printing press affords, by
creating deposits through loans. 1t is important
keep this in mind, because when people begin to
complain that the banks or the government should
make it easy to obtain credit it is time to utter
warning.
Sound banking requires that somebody shall put
dollar Of wealth into bank for every dollar that the
bank loans out, and when speak Of wealth we
include the paper representatives of the liquid wealth
which is moving in trade
The wheat, meats, cotton lumber, coal, and mer-
chandise of all kinds that are being transferred

as one with deposits of $4,000, 900, but within the
