Tom Moore, age 5S, we'll known oldtimer of this district and along the railroad belt, was found dead Mon day morning on the s. s. Admiral Evans, apparently suicide. He was on his way to the Sitka Pioneer home from Seldovia, it is learned, and upon boarding the vessel at the inlet town was in a very weakened and feeble condition. Little is known of him ex- cepting that he worked for many years on the Alaska railroad. No trace of relatives has been learned thus far. The coroner's jury at Kodiak brought in a verdict of death due to strangulation.

are necessary to carry the main canal
under the Medina river at two points by
means of huge concrete, inverted siphons,
and across canyons and ravines by means
Of aqueducts, the depreciation and obso-
lescence on all of these works and struc-
tpres has been remarkably slight during
main dam and spillway, the diversion
dam and the other structures successful
ly withstood the onslaught Of the flood
waters of 1919, which put them to the
severest possible test.
The prolongation of the war and Of
its after-effects in the commercial and fl
nancial world created conditions which
made impracticable any satisfactory re-
organization of the properties until over
two years ago, when their existence and
possibilities were brought to the atten-
ton of Charles W. MeNear Of Chicago,
who became interested and set about
working out a plan for the rehabilitation
of the enterprise. He opened negotia-
tons with the late Cordcnio A. Sever
ance, of st. Paul, a recent president of
the American Bar Association, and Colo
mel Walter Cow OF Toronto, a distin-
guished Canadian lawyer, 10th of whom
were of counsel for the committee OF
bond-holders which had meanwhile been
organized During the negotiations Mr..
McNear associated in the undertaking
the banking firm of Stifel-Nicoiaus and
company Of st. Louis. The negotiations
finally resulted in an agreement between
the bondholders' committee, the San An
tonic Land and Irrigation company, Linn
tied, (which was the holding company OF
the associated Medina eEterprIse) and
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18

those bankers, which provided for refi-
nancing and the reorganization Of the
properties. The scheme involved the or
ganization Of all Of the lands Of the old
company, capable Of being irrigated by
gravity, into a water improvement dis
trict in accordance with the statutes Of
Texas and the issuance of bonds of this
district in the sum of $2,5O0,OO0.
"The result of all this is that the prop
erty 10 now again available for develop
ment-that it has been freed Of all debt
and is in shape TO put to the splendid
uses for which originally intended. This
is the resurrection Of which have spok-
en-. 1t means that over 10000 acres Of
fertile land capable OF the most intensive
cultivation, which has for the most part
heretofore been unproductive for lack Of
water, will be opened to settlement and
provide approximately 1000 farms upon
which ii is reasonable to expect that 9
great community Of prosperous and sue
cessful farmers will come into existence,
thus providing a new and fruitful source
Of wealth and well being not only 10
themselves but to this entire region.
"In the working out Of the scheme Of
reorganization, the bankers, the bond
holders committee and all concerned had
the hearty and active cooperation and
assistance Of the receiver, Hugh II. Rob
ertson, and also Of counsel for the receiv-
er, William Aubrey. 1t is gratifying on
this occasion TO express, upon behalf Of
all those who have been interested in the
reorganization, our sincere appreciation
Of the great helpfulness Of these gentle
men Mr.. Robertson's administration Of

year and month in which the World War
broke out. DIR. Pearson was aboard the
Lusitania en- route to England to work
out a reorganization when that vessel
was torpedoed and he was drowned.
The great delay in getting the enter
prise under way naturally gave rise to
many rumors as TO the reasons, and / am
told it vas believed by some that there
existed serious defects in the enterprise,
such as an insufficient water supply, mis-
calculations in the design Of the irrigation
system, or inability to convey good and
merchantable title to the lands; in other
Some of these impressions may still sur
yive. IL so, desire to correct them. The
enterprise as an irrigation project was
not a failure. From the standpoint Of
those who invested their money in the Sc
curities Of the companies, it was undoubt-
edly a disappointment, but it cannot,
therefore, be properly said that it was a
failure rs an irrigation project. None Of
the lands were ever seld-tbe great irri-
CATION system was, therefore, never put to
the beneficial use for which it was in
tended and constructed. The enterprise
never got under way and the reasons had
nothing whatever to do with the praeti-
eability and feasibility of the scheme.
The engineering and construction were
msgnifeentIy well done, as has been con-
clusively proven BY the test Of time. Such
limited use Of the irrigation system as
has been possible under the reeeiversbip
has demonstrated not only the fertility Of
the lands, but the efficiency Of the water
impounding and distributing system. Al

business standpoint, but which are along
the lines Of sound, conservative stan
dard Of business ethics as well.
THE Medina farms will be sold strict
ly on their merits. The truth about them
is considered good enough.
I'VE are not marking time, however,
pending a decision on the details Of the
final plan and method Of sale. The $500
acres now under ditch are being surveyed
and plated into approximately 40-acre
farm units, which 1t is planned to make
the standard sized farm. Boundary lines
will follow natural boundaries such a.
canals, creeks and roads. When plated
after this fashion, the farms will be clas-
sified in relation to proper considerations
having bearing on comparative values
such considerations as differences in soil,
size, location, lay Of the land, etc. Alb
straets Of title are being supplemented
and brought down to date. Roads are be-
ing built and improved and the water i'm
proyement district is preparing to extend
the canals and laterals Of the existing
system 20 ss to cover the entire irriga-
bic area Of over 10000 acres.
while all Of these things are being
done in preparation for the Inauguration
later Of farm sales on a big scale, the
trustees desire, in order that the posi-
bilities Of the Medina lands may be dem
onstrated by bona fide farmer-owners, to
make available for immediate settlement
and cultivation a limited number Of
farms. These few demonstration farms
will be sold to selected farmers so situat-
ed as to be able TO move onto the farms
within six months Of their purchase, com
plete within that time certain improve
ments and put the land in cultivation. To
