Next Year

1t will be necessary once more
to turn out the water from the
canals of Columbia Irrigation Dis
trict in order to clean out the moss
and weed growths. AS usual for a
fall cleanup, three days will be
required. The water will go out
Sunday night, the 7th, and will be

The management greatly desir-
ed to defer this turnout till after
the 18th of September and every
effort has been made by claiming,
etc., to do this. But it has become
plain in the last few days that
such course would leave the low
er half of the system on short wa
ter until turnout is made and
that would cause a lot of damage.
Before the next season it is ex-

80 last, were little more than
So 200, 100000. This was just abort
$100, 900, 900 more than the receipts
of the previous year.
Most of the increase was regis
tered in income taxes, which show
ed a gain of $78,000,000 over the
1929 fiscal year, Notwithstanding
the fact that the z percent tax re-
duction voted by congress last De-
cenber affected the quarterly pay
ments of taxes paid in March and
June of the present calendar year.
This increase was attributed large
ly to the exceptional prosperity en-
joyed by corporations and individ-
uals in the calendar year 1929,
against which the taxes collected
in these two quarters were assess
ed.
There was diversity of opinion
as to whether or not it would be
advisable or possible to continue

Dictator Leguia of Peru
Ousted by a Military
Revolution
By EDWARD w. PICKARD

! By EDWARD w. PICKARD
ELEVEN years of dictatorship
by Augusta B. Leguia was enuf
| for Peru, or at least for its army,
so he has been ousted from the Of
flee of president, together with his
entire government.
The revolutionary movement
started in the province of Arequipa
where the troops, led by Lieut.. Col.
Sanchez Cerro, arrested some of
their officers and took control of
Arequipa, third city of the repub-
lie. The revolt spread rapidly to
other provinces and was easily
successful everywhere. Meanwhile
there was surface tranquility in
Lima, the capital and President Lee
guia attended the races as usual.
But this didn't last long. A mill
tary junta got busy in Lima, the
cabinet was forced to resign, and
a few hours later Leguia himself
gave up his office and took refuge
on the cruiser Almirante Grau. The
vessel steamed away, the inten-
ton being to land the deposed die
tator at some foreign port; but the
junta sent a wireless threat to
have the officers court martialed
if they did not return within 4S
hours and they yielded. At this
writing the fate of Leguia is un-
certain. 1t was understood he would
he put on trial for his "misdeeds"
this course being insisted on by
the students of Lima and also by
Cerro.
A temporary government was
set up in Lima with Gen. Manuel
Maria Ponce at it's head. However
Cerro went to the capital city
within a few days, and his Are
quipa junta was recognized as the
real government of the country.
Before resigning, Leguia designat-
ed first General Martinez and then
General Sarmiento as heads of q
new cabinet, but the military revo-
lutionists would accept neither.
Leguia thereupon wrote his resig-
nation, saying:
81 hereby close another chapter
in Peru's history"
The State department in Wash
ington was informed that Lieut..
Com Harold F. Grow, U. S. naval
reserve, of Greenville, Mich. and
Faucet of Savona, N. Y,
both aviators, were being detain-
ed by the Peruvian revolutionists.
Ferdinand L. Mayer, American
charge daffaires at Lima, was in
structed to take "all appropriate
to secure Crows re-
lease. Though the two men were
held as prisoners, the State depart
ment was not much concerned of
their safety. Mr.. Mayer in a mes
sage to Washington said the revo-
lutionists had promised to protect
foreign nationals and maintain or
