STATE REFUSED
TO SUPPORT 1T

I'm 1928 the administration OF the
settlement was without funds TO
make loans for fun development OF
some OF the farms. The federal land
bank had financed settlers TO the
amount OF s3i5, 900 and 100000 more
was needed.
The bank refused TO make loans
unless they were assured that those
in political authority would stand
behind the Delhi colony. This sup
port was not secured. The state leg
islature appropriated $3.50. 900 TO com.
plctc Delhi. In the normal course of
events II should be repaid to the
state with interest
This. in short. is the history of

As stated above. II is pretty generally
believed to be the example OF fail

LAND PRODUCING
BIG CROPS IN 1925

LAND PRODUCING
BIG CROPS IN 1925
''of this total, 400 acres are In
alfalfa, and this is producing from
six to eight tons per acre, with a
field or two going as high as il tons:
l.2oo acres are in peaches. and 500
acres are In grapes. About 900 acres
arc planted TO miscellaneous crops.
The results obtained were accom-.
plished since early In 1920 Notwith-
standing this. approximately $500
acres OF the 5000 sold are planted
and well developed. The settlers at
Delhi have about 500 head OF dairy
COWS and heifers and number Of
purc-bred bulls. Dalrymen, as we'll
as the crop farmers. are making
compensatory returns.
What is land worth at Delhi? II
was sold at an average OF 1929 an
acre, which included a pipeline sys-
tenn Of irrigation to each farm. Some
months ago a settler had to sell his
farm by public auction. 1t consisted
OF 20 acres planted TO fruit and was
knocked down for $1,000, or $3.50
an acre. That's a pretty good price
for poor land at court sale.

Railways in Protest
of Surcharge Fight

Chicago, Ill. Criticism of the
methods being used in Congress to
abolish the Pullman sureharge and to
have the Gooding long and short haul
bill passed, was voiced here today by
Samuel o. Dunn, editor of the Rail-
way Age, in an address before the
University of Michigan Alumni asso-
citation.
"Tacking of the Pullman measure
to an appropriation bill and the Good
ing bill to the Cape Cod canal bill, he
characterized as "dirty" and unscrup-
ulous political methods" "The inter
state commerce commission believes
the Gooding bill should not be passed.
It's attitude has been determined on
economic principles and by its special
knowledge of transportation matters.
The passage of the two bills in ques-
ton would substitute reckless political
methods for economic principles and
judicial hearings and decisions in the
regulation of railways.

FEDERAL JUDGE
DIES A SUICIDE
Judge John Franklin MCGEE, Terror to
Law Violators Shoots Him.
self on Sunday.

Minneapolis, MINI. A belief that
his health was failing prompted feder-
al Judge John Franklin MCGEE, of
Minneapolis, to end his life by shoot
ing yesterday. He was Go years old
The body of the prominent jurist
was found in vault in his chambers
at the federal building. A bullet
wound was in his temple nd pistol
with one exploded cartridge was found
by his side.
Judge MCGEE was admitted to the
bar in Illinois when he was 81 years
old, without having attended q law
school of college. He moved to Devils
Lake North Dakota territory and then
TO Minneapolis where he had followed
his profession through many promin-
ent positions. He was appointed to the
federal bench in 1923 by President
Harding.
Subsequently Judge McGee's name
became a terror to law violators, par
ticularly those who disregarded the
Volstead law, because of the severe
punishments he inflicted. He declared
Incorporating war on bootleggers;
manufacturers of illicit whiskey and
dealers in narcotics.
AT one time he imposed 112 sentenc-
es in 100 minutes, sent sixty men to
