OUR VALLEY

CONTINUED from Page One.)
authorization OF q $1,600,000 bond
|Rxle to finance concrsting of canals
1~rainage for the entire system.
~nd issues for such purposes are
much the same as voting bonds for
highways-they pay for themselves
in reducing the cost OF operation.
According to plans announced BY
the La Feria district directors the
system will be undermined in every
respect; secpage eliminated; dam
aged lands drained, and the entire
irrigation plant brought to the high
est point OF efficiency.
ACCORDING to the irrigation ex-
perts, every system in the Valley
ultimately will be placed under
concrete. Water losses from the
dirt canals are heavy, the damage
to land extensive. and cost of opera
ton increased by these losses.
It would seem the logical thing
for all districts which can finance
concreting TO do so without delay.
1t Is true that IL will add to the
tax burden. but this Is more than
equalized by the reduced cost Of
operation and higher efficiency.
Rio Grande water and Valley
lands are becoming too valuable to
permit water to be wasted 90 the
detriment Of the land.
UP AT wESLACO a newspaper
was prevented from being published
by an injunction.

The injunction was secured under
The law which makes valid a contract
providing that a person selling any
business agrees refrains from enter
ing this business in the same time
again for a certain length OF time.
Circumstances in this case appear
to be somewhat different, because a
newcomer entered with the appar-
ent intention Of publishing the
paper. Whether II will come to
trial Is not known.

tween Japan and Korea. The people
are different, the countryside is differ
ent. There are mountains rising alb
ruptly from the coastal plain, but they
are less fully wooded than in Japan.
The Japanese government is undertak-
ing an extensive work of reforestation,
signs of which appear upon entering
Fusan Harbor in the green growths
upon the high hills that guard that
port. There are terraced farming plats
on the slopes of the hills and in the low,
level lands are extensive fields under
tillage. But the trimness of the Japa-
nese fields is lacking. The edges OF the
little squares and rhomboidS and tri-
angles under cultivation are not so
neatly defined
The greatest difference, as I sec the
situation from the car window, is in the
garb and the physical appearance of
the people. Before coming over from
Japan I wondered whether it would be
possible to distinguish between the peo-
pie of that country and the Koreans.
Apparently there will be little difficulty
on that score. In the first place, the
Koreans dress almost uniformly in
white, men and women alike. There is
very little color in the costumes. Then,
again, the comical horSe-hair hat OF the
men is decidedly in evidence. that
strange headgear that astonished WASH
ington about 40 years ago when Ko-
rean delegation went there to seek rec
ignition of this country as an 1nde-
pendent nation, fruitlesS errand.
Dignity Borne With Hat.
The wearer of the horse-hair hat
bears himself with a certain dignity
lacking in the coolie, distinguished by
his "chiggy" or SaW-bucklike burden
carrier on his back. For the hat is de-
signed to protect the topknot, which Is
a cherished mark of the higher rank
in social status. And the posseSSor of
a second hat to protect the hat that
protects the topknot is very superior
person, while the owner and wearer OF
third hat to protect the hat that pro-
tects the hat that protects the topknot
is extremely high hat" indeed.
The women, too, run to headgear,
though not Of the ornamental kind.
They are burden bearers as well as the
men, though their loads are carried on
their heads, after the fashion of some
of our own people at home. They are
erect in bearing, perhaps on this ac-
count.
The fields are yellow with ripened
barley and reapers are at work. They
gather the grain in small sheaves and
pile 1t up in the fields until there Is
enough to carry to the village, where
it Is threshed with fails, just as the
Japanese are doing at this time, as we
noted yesterday on the last leg of our
trip through Hondo.

sun. probably producing very blinky
work of camera art. 1t was the second

the first being at Fusan. But last night
at Shimonoseki was the climax Of our
fiaslllight experiences. Often as we

There were five different photographers
who wanted to "Shoot" us on the steps

we went indoors with our eyes blinded

Sometimes we have seen copies Of
these photographs and have been sadly
disillusioned. Again we have been

"black and white" Last evening at
Shimonoseki we were given our first
view of the motion pictures taken of our
party at various places in Japan. They
were not especially thrilling. consisting
largely Of brief glimpses Of motor cars

hotels and industrial establishments.

Contracts have been signed which as
sure Washington of the first motor boat
show ever held In the National Capital
in the Spring Of 1880, 1t was announced
today.
The South Atlantic Motor Boat Ex-
position, under the general manage
ment of Samuel Lovenlvein, will be
open to the public at the Washington
Auditorium April II to IS. inclusive
AL of the prominent manufacturers Of
speed boats, river craft, outdoor Access
series and yachting goods have arranged
to be represented at the exposition,
which will have nearly $4,000 square
feet of space available for exhibitors
Plans have also been made to hold
the South Atlantic motor boat regatta
and races on the Potomac In connec-
ton with the exposition Of next Spring
While the New York show in February
of each year has hitherto been the only
power boat exposition for cities along
the Atlantic Coast, the coming WASH
ington exposition promises to attract
owners and exhibitors from as far south
as Florida. In conjunction with the
show the railways have agreed to fur
nish special rates for excursion parties

Queer Cooking Place.
Just now I saw the gleam Of a fire
down below and. looking quickly, saw
woman squatting before a sort of
oven opening from the outer wall Of
the house. The fire within was burn
ing briskly. 1t was the family cooking
place, evidently. The chimney was
probably outside Of the house, stack
of iron pipe incaSed in clay. These
towerlike appendageS to the dwelling
are a. marked feature of the landscape.
This is a dry country as compared
with Japan. The rainfall is very much
less, and the fields show it. This morn
ing I heard an American resident OF
Fusan-a physician who has lived there
for more than 80 years-say that the
present season has been exceptionally
dry. Bare river beds are constantly
coming into view. The little water that
is to be had is sparingly and carefully
used. Here and there down in the
fields may be seen a man at work irri-
eating in the most laborious manner.
