clateQ. Tne people OF the west ap-
preciate it, and those in the west
who come in contact with it can not
help but appreciate it. 1t has been
my privilege to visit some twenty
of those projects. 1t is nothing
short of miraculous. You go over a
waste area decorated only by sage
brush and apparently Of soil so bar.
rem that no matter how much water
was put upon it it never could pro.
duce anything, and find adjacent
similar land under irrigation, per.
haps the water brought by immense
engineering works from reservoirs
hundreds of miles away, and there
you see the finest kind of agmcul-
tural development.
To 60 over such an area, to visit
a city of 10000 or $4,000 people
and know that within ten or fifteen
years that site where the city now
stands was only a desert waste and
to find in that city the very highest
type of American civilization, with
splendid school buildings and every
other community activity, was very
gratifying.
/ asked from the Reclamation SER
vice some figures, and they have
given facts which you will find in the
hearings with reference to the Mini
doka project in Idaho; figures that
were prepared in January, 1920. In
1904, sixteen years before, the land
was an uninhabited, sagebrush
desert, with no town, no farm, nc
railroads, no facilities Of any kind
and all that it has today is the result
of the construction. of the irrigation
work, at a cost of $5,SOO,000. OF
this amount over 100000 was re.
paid at the end of 1919, and more
since.
Now, that one project, created al
an expenditure Of $5,800,000, which
is to come back into the treasury
has created value in the way of farm
land and improvements to the ex.
tent of $3O,373,000. There is ar
assessed valuation of that project Of
$14,570,000. lhe crops produced in
1913 amounted in value to 1924.
O00-more than the entire cost OF
the project. As to shipments, there
were 5000 carloads of shipments OF
hay, potatoes, beets, cattle, wheat
sugar, sheep, -four and other pro.
ducts.
Now, as to the purchase Of manu-.
features: During my tour l remem.
Der one evening, after a day spent
in going over project, / believe in
the State of Oregon, and, being from
the State of Michigan, as I went
down the street Of that town, q
town built by reason of the develop.
ment of an irrigation project, I was
interested to note that along that
street, on both sides of it, were hun.
dreds Of automobiles, that never
would have been bought except fol
the project, and most of those auto.
, mobiles came from the State Of
Michigan, very properly; and so
feel that the State Of Michigan has
an immediate selfish interest in the
development Of those splendid new
home regions found in the west.
On this Minidoka project in Idaho
the wholesale purchase of manu-
facures in 1919 amounted to ST.,
$4,000, as follows:

an efficient committee headed by
Mrs. l.. Brewer Walling. chairman,
and Mrs. Charles s. jerks, treasurer.
The various members Of the COM

being Miss Margaret Bedle. who has
turned in the sum of $1I.60 collect
I'd on Atlantic street.

viii be extended one week and tag
day will be conducted in the borough
on Saturday, May 6, by the Boy
Scouts of the borough.
Mrs. l.. Brewer Walling, chairman
of the drive. has been called to
Cherry Valley. N. Y. by the serious
illness of her mother and her work
will be continued next week by Miss
Annie l.. Tilton, assistant chairman.
No reports from the various fac
tories in the borough have as yet
been received though 1t is expected
h a they will do as well as last year
when the Aeromarine company
alone raised ver 800 for the fund.
An effort will be made to hold a
campaign in the school one day next
week when the pupils of the school
will be asked to contribute a very
small sum each for this worthy
work.
With the cooperation which has
been shown 1t is expected that the
quota of $500 will be oversubscribed
and the extending of the drive for a
week will give each canvasser ample
time to complete her work without
the rush which a one week drive
~necessitates.

Labor Shortage

ship repair men said yesterday.
Some of the yards are having diff
Guilty in maintaining their full quota
of carpenters and joiners.
The opinion is expressed that this
probably is due to the increased de-
mand at this season Of the veal by
the building trades for men of these
crafts, together with the fact that
work In some of the yards has
reached the point where ar in
creased number of woodworkers is
needed temporarily.

Plans for increased production in one
of the large shoe manufacturing plants
of New ngland mus indicate either
that the so-called buyers strike is of
or that the excess stocks of shoes ev.
erywhere are being depleted to such
an extent that new production is ncc-
essary to meet the demand. The for
mer condition was more or less chimer-
ical and in part igment of the imagi
nation; the latter was quite real and
extensive. Therefore, it may be put
down as, in all probability, the truth
that the excess supply Of the nation in
shoes is being exhausted and that pro-
suction must soon get back onto more
nearly normal basis. Over -produc-
ton has been marked cause of the

Ralph Brewster at Winchester, Mass,
liz is rather strange that they should
have endesvored to block the efforts of

man now detained in naval prison at

insisting that the suspect be examined
in the naval prison and that some at
tache of the naval service be present

men was not such a strenuous affair

pleas for newspaper copy" Not that
Taft is publicity seeker. He Is far

something across, although on occa-

newspapers for the advancement Of
