The first irrigation water for
Cameron County Water Control
and Improvement District No. 10,
comprising approximately 1000
acres known as the Rutherford

watering included approximately
600 acres which has been set to

Extension of the canal system to

ing rapidly, and within a few weeks
the entire area will be under irri-
cation. Concreting of canals will
not be started until october or No

give the earthwOrk an opportunity
to become well settled.
The district lies east of the Los

system financed. A contract was
made with the Los Fresnos system
whereby the district paid a specified
amount for use of the Los Fresnos

ating and maintenance cost of that
system.
The entire canal system of the
new district will be placed under
concrete, and q number of the pur-

underground distribution systems.
Construction of the power lines of
the Valley Light & Power Co. was
completed into that section last
weeks. and the two pumps hooked
on. The lines will be extended to
cover practically the entire district.

atty candidates and political lead
ers Of the party next Tuesday at
the Ulen Country Club at Lebanon.
Invitations to the meeting not
only have been sent to committee
members by State Chairman Eliza

to invite prospective candidates in
the 1880 convention.
The state committee must plan
the steps to be taken in giving the
vote to vice committeeman of the
state as provided in the $3.50" bill
passed by the 1929 legislature
Voting Power to Women
This law gave voting power to the
women members of the state. dis

The 1925 statute provided that

members Of the opposite sex as vice
committeeman, but did not give the
Vice-committeemen power to vote
except in the absence of the COM
mitteemen.
The majority of these appointees
we're women, as few of that sex
were elected precinct committeeman.
The same rule holds in the state,
district and county committees. The
rules promulgated by the state COM
mittee must be revised to conform
with provisions of the 1929 statute.
Candidates for the various state
Offices are expected to make their
announcements at the meeting.

and Archie Bobbitt, auditor of state,
are expected to announce their can
oidaCies for reelection.
Mrs. Grace B. Urbahns, treasurer,
will be eliminated under the con-

ers of biennial Offices can succeed
themselves but once. Harry Nichols,
Madison, who was a close contend
er for the office at the 1923 conven-
tion, is expected to announce his
candidacy.
Present indications are that FL

of State Senator C. Oliver Holmes,

Bobbitt is the only one without
apparent opposition.
The four-year term of Charles
