| been completed. The man on the
Twin Falls tract will neither make
nor lose by the transaction for he
will turn the water in the Jackson
| Lake reservoir over for just what it
cost to build the American Falls res
ervoir. The only thing that the man
on the Twin Falls tract will gain will
be that he will have his water closer
to him and it will work to better eff
feet If he is drawing water for irri-
cation and there comes on rainy
spell he can shut off the supply COM
ing to him and lose less water run
ming in the channel than If he were
drawing from Jackson Lake. Many
questions were asked and answered
regarding the control of the storage
system and it all resolves itself into
this; that the United States govern
| ment will have charge of construc-
ito work and all the operation of the
storage of water in the reservoir.
The governmnt takes charge of the
water flowing in the natural stream,
Snake river. The ditch company has
charge Of the water flowing in it's
canals. The United States govern
ment stores the water and turns it
down the natural stream, the river.
The state government conducts it
down the river bed and delivers it
to the headgate of the owner. The
canal company receives it at its head
gate and distributes it among the
members of Its own organization.
The management Of the reservoir
has nothing to do with the manage
ment of the river. The management
Of the reservoir and the river have
nothing to do with the management
Of the canal company or the distri-
button of the water among its pat
rons. Each canal company manages
it's own canal in its own way and the
state and federal government have
nothing to do with it, and are not in
tended or expected to change it. If
the thirty different canal companies
are operated in thirty different ways
as at the present time they will be at
liberty to 60 on the same or to make
any changes which they among
themselves may decide to make, and
the state and federal government OF

it. It is not known whether the ma

least prosperous. Trade in this Sec

reason for this is found in the labor

cotton mills are still closed because
OF strikes. When it is considered that
the Amoskeag Company at Manches-
ter. n. H., alone normally employees
about 10000 workers, it may readily
be seen what a hole the forced close
down of these industrial plants has
made in the public buying power.
Cotton mills which have not been
closed by strikes are curtailinS pro
duction because of uncertain price
situation, due to general expectation
of lower wages and lower selling
rates. The r-day-a-week scheduie
is now common in many plants: WOOL

a dull period and spotty business The

although in the latter industry It mas
been most difficult to get wages ana
prices down to level comparable
with that of other sections. The metai
trades are more active.

California Anticipating
Most Prosperous Season
BY LYNN c. SIMPSON.

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
, SAN FRANCISCO. March 20.-Cali-
fornia is entering upon what prom
1ses to be most prosperous season.
Money is cheap and abundant. Good
crops have been assured by ample
rainfall and by a heavy blanket OF
snow in the mountains, which will
provide ample water supply next
summer for irrigation and power
purposes. Unemployment is decreas-
ing and building construction is
proving an encouraging factor. A
build now" campaign is in progress
in various places in northern Cali
fornia. and the looseAing of capital
for building purposes has been quite
marked in the last few weeks
Cold weather has retarded crops
and hasaIessened danger from dam
age by frost. As result of winter
frosts however, early shipments OF
vegetables have been delayed and
total shipments will be far below
normal. Much celery was ruined. The
asparagus crop was short and the
pack was decidedly below expecta-
tions. The output of the canneries
is said to have been contracted for
already.
Strikes in some of the lumber camps
In California and Oregon are tend
tnS to reduce lumber production.

FORT WORTH. March 20.-Business
men in the live stock and agricultural
regions of the southwest report the
restoration of trading. especially IN
the range counties and towns. Mer-
chants there say that buying power
again has begun to make itself mani
fest. Ranchmen. absolutely unable to

This is due to the slightly Increased
prices of cattle and an influx of buy
evS from northwestern states. These
buyers are paying good prices for
range stock.

which included regions hitherto arid.

The increase of 25 cents barrel in
the price of crude oil in the Mexia
field and the extension of oil areas
near Mexia and in Young county were
important developments in the Texas
oil fields. Texas refiners are prac-
tically cleaned out of gasoline and
sold out for March delivery. The ex-
port market has recovered. and it is
believed here motorists will feel an
increase in gasoline prices before the

The retail credit bureau. featured by
the chamber of commerce, is slowly eX-
banding and now has the names of 400.-
600 buyers listed. The idea was to make
this bureau credit clearing house
whereby merchants have the benefit of
the experience Of others and forestall
applicants for credit who have failed
to pay bills elsewhere. Many lines of
business which formerly maintained
separate credit businesses are aban-
doning them, but the large department
stores SO far have held aloof from the
scheme. A charge of 10 cents is made
for each inquiry. The cost Of com
piling the information is $1.39. the diff
