WATER BOARD
AT EDLNBURC
CALLING VOTE
Propose Bon4 Issue of
$1,500,000 to Con-
crete Irrigation Sys-
tenn of Canals

EDINBURG. Oct. Ga vote on the
proposition Of issuing bonds in the
amount OF 5 ,5O0,O0O to finance con-
cretlng OF the canal system Of the
Edinburg irrigation district and max
ing other necessary improvements.
Will be submitted 70 the voters Of the
district October "a, according 10 q
notice published BY the board Of d.
rectors.
Decision to call the election was
reached after the board had con-
ferred with a number Of the largest
property owners in the district and
received almost unanimous assurance
they were in favor Of the bond issue.
Members Of the board pointed out
that approximately 5000 acres had
been seriously damaged by seepage;
thta unless the canals are concerted
an elaborate system Of drainage
bitches would be necessary. and that
the drainage cost would be heavy.
The board estimated that concreting
Of canals would reduce operating ex-
penses approximately $50, 1000 per year
IN addition to eliminating water
wastage; most Of the ge and
land damage and adding to the Ell
flcleney and convenience Of the sys-
TEN.
Loss Over Half
According 70 the estimate OF the
district engineers approximately
$4,000 will be expended for
earthwork; S633,750 for concrete
lining; 100000 for concrete pipe and
structures; $4,000 for water meters
and structures; Sl9,500 for rights Of
way and control reservoirs; S205 GOO
for headgates, checks, bridges, ST.
phons, spillways, clearing and grub
bling, engineering and other items.
According to the engineers reports
the log Of the pumping plant to Pc
nitas, where an accurate check on the
water pumped is maintained, shows
that for a period Of twelve months
from June i, 1927 TO June I. 1928,
a total of 55,151 acre feet was di-
verted from the Rio GranGe. During
this period the district irrigated
25,s67 acres.
Maintenance High
This required 26 acre inches
pumped for each acre irrigated. With
a system Of lined canals. it Il claim
ed. allowing 10 per cent for loss
through seepage and evaporation, and
allowing 8 inches Of water per irri-
cation, the volume pumped would
have been sufficient 70 irrigate
74,453 acres. 1t is contended that
the water lost would have been suf-
ficient TO irrigate 4s,5s6 acres.
The district has also found main
tenance of dirt canals very expensive.
The district records show that from
September /, 1927 TO July 81, 1928. a
period of eleven months, the main
tenance cost was SS,l5T, the major
portion Of which was for cleaning
canals.
The district includes $4,000 acres.
of which Approximately $4,000 is ir-
rigable. The outstanding indebted
ness is S1,4SG,0OO in bonds and
1891, T20 in notes and other items.
Valuations have been increased this
year 1000. 900. The board of di-
rectors consists Of j. NJ. Burns,
Henry Heineman, u. n. Taylor, A. b.
Blair and Albert Refs.

there for Spitzbergen but finally de- cided to risk another adventure in the arctic with her master.
 To Csc NadsOc
 General Mobile is planning 10 use Nadsoe as an auxiliary base in the event that he should be forced south on one of his expeditions across the arctic regions. He telegraphed to his epresentatiye there telling him to remain and prepare everything for moorinG the airship in case Of necessity.
 The dirigible was flown 10 Kings Bay from Milan, Italy. with stops for refueling and provisions at Stolp. Germany anu Nadsoe. In the mean time the base ship Citta Di Nljlano made it's way to Spitzbergen with d landing crew. scientists and supplies Preparations for the start wcrc begun last evening when the crew brought provisions aboard. these included cornyd beef, biscuits. egg.s and fruit. At four o'clock in the morning the crew put in the flying kit and rifles, Norwegian skis and sledges, and also slowed away enough benzine for a 6.oQ0 kilo- meter flight.
 The start was delayed for d short time because the weather was too warm. The metoorologist wanted q lower temperature, so that the air ship would lose certain amount in capacity. Eventually the start was made under favorable conditions. and the weather seemed fine to the eastward.
 The Italia goes first 10 Nicoi1i land. It will proceed 10 the ice edge and follow the Soth northern degree then eastward. exploring the north ern part of Nicolai land, which has been explored very little. The Italia is expected 10 return either late Sat , urday night or early Sunday morn . 1 ing and will receive weather reports from the Citta Di Milano. This supply ship will keep in communica- 1 ton with the dirigible throughout the trip.
 Those aboard the Italia with Gen. eral Mobile include Captain Mariana, Lieuts. Niglieri and Arduino, Motor- chief Cecioni: Professor Pontremoli. Engineer Trojani: Radioman Beagi Motormen Caratti, Pomella, Ciocca and Angioletti; assistants Alessan- , drini and Belocchi; Me.erologist { NIalmrreen

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, May ii dPl-The dirigible Italia which left Kings Bay this morning for a 40- hour flight over the polar regions, returned after seven hours because of bad weather conditions.
 Copyright by the Associated Press,
 10oS)
 Kings Bay Spitzbergen, May II P>-The dirigible Italia, ready for flight 10 the north pole. started her first trip into the polar regions carly this morning and is expected back at Kings Bay in about forty hours
 The huge dirigible. under com- mand of General umberto Mobile who already has made ono diHgiblc flight to the north pole. took a northwcstward course the same as that taken by the Norge in 1926. It made abo.t 3S miles an hour and in half an hour was out of sight Of those watching at Kings Bay.
 TO Explore Pole.
 It was believed that General No bile intended to explore the sur roundings of the north pole first and return about midnight Saturday night.
 The crew of the ship met at the starting place at six o'clock this morning and boarded her inside the hangar to try out the motors. At 7:35 a. m., 20o Italian helpers took the ship from the hangar and Gen .ral Mobile, in the uniform of his out of his headquarters and greeted Iis friends heartily.
 Motors Start.
 The two forward motors were started while General Mobile posed for the cameramen and the airship at 1:4o moved into the air as the ground crew let go the restraining rope.
 Attaining a height of about zoo feet, with her three motors working. the Italia started into the dim un- known to the accompaniment of Fascist shouts of: "E La e La !''
 The Italia has been at Kings Bay since May 6 waiting for favorable weather and being prepared for d series of trips over north polar re- gions under General Umberto No- bile. General Mobile has made one previous flight over the pole in 1926 with Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth in the dirigible Norge.
 Little Known.
 The present undertaking intends to explore many regions about which little is known. These include Lenin Land. formerly Nicholas II land which was discovered by Russian ex- plorers travelling in ice breakers in September 1913. They only observed the eastern and southearn coasts of the land which was found to extend to the north northwest as continu- ation of the eastern coasts of the Taimir peninsula and the Chelyus- kin peninsula.
 General Mobile also intended, if possible. to land at the pole. plant ing there a cross given him by Pope Plus. He hoped to check on pre- vious expeditions of Peary and Mac Milan in polar regions. A compan iop of General Mobile on his polar expeditions has been his dog Titi- ana, who seemed reluctant to leave vadsoe. Norway when the Italia left
