Merger Talk an Influence.

The natural tendency of the stock
market is to fiuctuate within Il narrow
radius of present quotations, awaiting
developments in the trade situation to
determine its course. But fresh i'm
pulse is derived in individual stocks
from combinations between properties
which are being arranged or which
are believed to be in prospect. SO far
this has involved the taking over of
properties at figures which six months
ago would have looked extremely
high.
The significance back of these
merger deals" about which Wall
Street is thinking so much. is simply
that there is a high wage scale which
rannot in many lines he met by rails
ing of prices. The solution of the
problem lies in consultations. which
will set up an offset to labor condl-
lions by inStituting economies. In
pther words, the old phrase about the
necessity of ''liqudated labor has
passed out OF fashion. In its place is
the idea of reducing costs through
joint operation.

Investment Market Slows Up.

The investment market has slowed
up 1t has not been due to the rise
in call money, which is regarded as
only temporary. Rather it has had in
mind that in last years January has
often marked the peak of investment
buying aud that as the year goes on
something of a reaction has occurred.
United States Government loans have
been selling at top prices. Corpora
ton securities of the first rank have
been holding up yet there has been
no fresh advance.
The rise in sterling exchange to
q new high has been commented upon
as a possible indication of gold eX-
ports from this country. But sterling
II still quite distance away from
the gold shipping point. Ii there
were to be gold exports along with
large new capital issues. the invest
ment outlook would be changed. 1t
would mean permanently higher
rates for money and an increasing
competition between new offerings
and existing securities. But neither
of these contingencies IS seen for the
present time.
There have been rumorS of com
promise between those who hold con-
fiicting views on the French financial
program, but SO far nothing has ma
terialiZed. The French franc has done
little. but French note circulation has
continued along the road of initiation.
It has got we'll past the legal limit
fixed last June.
1t is going ahead toward the new
boundary which was settled upon in
the first week of December. The
French financial crisis remains acute
even though less is heard about it in
the news of the day.

Grain and Cotton Reviewed.

The grain trade has got over its
uneasinesS about the sufficiency of
supplies. 1t has settled down to await
more definite information regarding
the surplus of the two principal ex-
porting countries outside of the
United States and Canada, namely, the
Argentine and Australia. Also it is
looking for more light upon the condi-
ton of the new crops which went into
the ground last Autumn, and for d line
upon Spring seeding prospects.
The cotton market is in still more of
rut. The sustaining influence here is
the realization that prices did get down
at one time in the latter part of last
year to what was less than the cost
of production, taking the average, and
that they have not recovered Sufti-
GENTLY to allow of much of a profit
margin. But there is nothing to put
prices up unless efforts to curtail new
planting succeeds, or unless there is
more OF a picking up in the demand
from the goods trade than appears at
present.

aprear TO render the construction
and subsequent control of these
works a measure of such economic
and social importance, that no
agency but the federal government
should be entrusted with the pro-
lection of rights or distribution of
its opportunities. All uses can be
coordinated and the fullest benefits
realized only by their centralized
control.
Three Main Features
I shall therefore consider this de.
velopment as including three fea-
lures:
q A dam approximately 80 feet
high creating a reservoir holding
26,000,000 acre feet of water.
90 Works for the generation Of
electric power.
(3) An all-American canal start
ing at Laguna dam and delivering
water TO the Imperial and Coachella
Valley canals.
The reservoir should be regulated,
primarily to safeguard the valleys
in Arizona and California, includ-
ing Imperial Valley with its present
extensive development from the de-
structive effect of large floods.
Water levels in the reservoir would
be raised during flood periods and
Imperial Valley press., 1926-01-29

Such an adjustment Of burdens and
benefits should stimulate irrigation
development because .af the gener-
ous terms on which water will be sup
piled, and at the same time result in
considerable revenue from the wa
ter furnished for irrigation, domes
tie and industrial uses. But the
money earning feature of this de-
velopment is power. The revenues
from the sale of power will, it is
believed, alone repay the entire cost
of these works with interest at h
per ceut.
With this general outline of the
development program favored sub
init comments ON features of the bill
which are approved and others which
it is believed should be modified.
The necessity for the all-Ameri-
can canal, and the size and cost of
this canal, depend largely on wheth-
er the existing concession under
which water is now diverted from
the Colorado river at Hanlon's Head.

ment. Under this e9Nfrac or conees-
sion, the Mexican Nernmcnt gave
a corporation PERMISSION (see note)
to build and operate Il canal across
Mexican territory, to irrigate land
III California, on condition that
Mexican irrigators be given, if they
desire it. one half of all the water
diverted into this canal from the
Colorado river. Hence, the canal
has to be double the capac-
ity required to meet the needs
of California. The river has to sup
ply double the water needed in Cali
fornia and the rights of Mexicans to
water under this concession grow,
as the irrigated area is extended in
California.
(NOTE) THE Sociedad de Ri
ego y Terrenos de la Baja California

the canal which it has buIt in Mex
lean territory, and through other
canals that it may build. if con

for irrigation and power. The wa
ter so impounded should be sold to
cities requiring it for domestic pur
poses and other municipal uses and
to irrigation districts, like that of
the Imperial Valley, desiring com
plctc or supplemental water supply
under the provisions of the Warren
act, payment to be made for def
mite volume of water each year.
The electric energy generated
should be sold to the highest and
best bidders, with due regard to
public interest, at the switchboard
of the power plant. Contracts should
not exceed 80 years in duration.

irritation to be provided by the pur
chaSers.
Water Distribution
Water supplied for domestic, in
dustrial or irrigation uses should
be delivered at the dam, ut points
along the river agreed upon and ut
the terminal of the all-American
canal. Prices for this water should
be such as to at least repay all of
the cost of operation ana mainten-
ance of the canals and an equitable
part of the operating expenses of
the dam. This with the revenues
from power, will. we believe, repay
the entire investment in this devel-
opment, with per cent interest.
The money for this development
should, believe, be provided by a
bond issue of the United States. 1t
should be for u sum sufficient to
provide for the construction of the
dam, the power plant and the all
American canal. An additional sum
should be included in the authoriz-
alton to pay interest on bonds sold
during the period of construction,
and until such time as the revenue
will meet interest charges. Provid-
ing the money for this development
through a special bond issue will
obviate disturbance of the regular
fiscal operations of the government.
1t will obviate provision by the bud
get for the money needed during
construction. The bonds could be
sold as money would be needed.
Construction would extend over a
period of between five and ten years
If work were carried on at a rate to
secure the greatest efficiency.

districts and municipalities, the
provisions of the reclamation act
and of the Warren act would apply.

Known By Local Pastor

Lady Stanley was woman of
 charming personality and quite an eminent artist in her day according to Rev. William Ross of the First Baptist church of New Britain. Rev. MT. Ross became acquainted with Lady Stanley in London after he returned from the Belgian Congo in Africa where he had met the fam ous newspaperman and explorer, Henry NJ. Stanley.
 Sir Henry Stanley and Lady Stan ley had not been married when the explorer made his historical trip up the Belgian Congo, but it was here that the missionary. now one of New Britain's outstanding clergymen, and the famous explorer met. It was through the aid of Stanley's expedi- ton that Mir. Ross, who had become ill in Africa, was returned to the coast and thence to London where he subsequently was decorated by the London Geographical society.
 Later when the explorer returned after his sensational meeting with and was married in London, the explorer and missionary met again and subsequently, Mir. Ross was introduced to Lady Stan ley.
