MERCEDES. July 3O.-A wider use
OF meters among irrigation districts
and water users In the Valley Is
foreseen.
Because OF advantages both to
water users and to districts. the
use OF meters is increasing rapidly
IN Cameron and Hidalgo County
Water Control and Improvement
District No. ., according TO r. .
Fessenden. manager. and a number
or other districts are planning ex-
pansions OF meter programs.
Value Proved.
Mr.. Fessenden reports that an
average Of ten meters a month are
installed In his district. the TAG
meters In use now having proved
their value. Few OF those who have
had meters put In have had them
taken out again because, as Mr..
Fessenden explains. about 80 per
cent Of the growers with meters use
n smaller amount OF water for which
they pay less than under the old
system.
Through meters. growers use from
three To six inches OF water per
watering depending on the crop and
the general circumstances. In some
orchards. where growers are careful,
they get by with less than three
Inches of water. With water sell
11r at 81 per acre foot, IL costs the
grower about 80 cents an irrigation,
m acre The rate per watering with
out a meter is $50.
Mr.. Fessenden estimates roughly
Mat meters are serving approx
1ately 10000 acres in the district
about one-third OF the land
GriEated.
The district has a meter man,
Ralph Dunson. who looks after the
instruments. Once every six months
each meter is overhauled. cleaned
and oiled.
Total Flow Type.
Most OF the meters are screened
and all are OF the total flow type.
that Is, all Of the water passes
Through the measuring device. The
loss OF head is only from one and
one-fourth inches to four inches.
Inc meters are OF two sizes, one
with a capacity OF four cubic feet
per second and the other with two
second feet capacity. Most OF them
are OF the larger type.
There are a number Of meters on
the Goodwin Tract near Edinburg

NEVADA PERMITS GAMBLING.

Reno, Nevada.-The restora.
ton of wide open gambling in
Nevada under sanction of q
newly-enacted law, brings to the
heart of the Nevadan a new
promise. q new hope, of early
prosperity and good times.
Nevada was in its greatest
hey day when gambling flourish
ed. High stakes and affiuence
have always been Synonymous
of natives. The entire history
of Nevada is interviewer with
games of chance in all its forms,
faro, roulette, poker, klondike
and mining stock speculation
the greatest gamble of all in the
hectic boom era. One of the
largest personal fortunes in the
state had its inception over the
green felt of q poker table.
Gold, silver, hot liquor and
gambling provided the lure that
attracted the wonderer and ad
venturer to this territory in suf
ficient numbers to admit Nevada
into the Union. They brought
into existence such towns at
Tonopah, Goldfield, Virginia
City, Rhyolite. Bullfrog. Scores
of old-timers still recollect when
hundreds of thousands of dollars
changed hands without the flick.
er of an eyelid.
Gambling houses were often
the only permanent structures in
mining camps providing a haven
from the harsh desert elements.
Courts have held sessions, we'd
ding have been performed babies
have been born, dying men have
spent the twilight hours of life,
in their warmth.
When the state legislature was
considering the wide open gamb
ling bill, which it later passed,
there was no concerted opposi
ton.
The "nnwritten code" OF Ne.
Vada has prevailed in receut~
years tolersting all honest gamb
ling, despite the stern laws of
statute books which makes it q
felony. Anything ia permitted
under the new law, with as
toundingly severe penalties for
dishonesty.
The press, public and business
men were generally favorable to
lifting the lid on gambling. Now
the revenue from it's licensing
will go to the state. counties and
cities, to care for their poor and
aged, to educate children, to
build good roads and support the
government

SCHROEDER GUILTY
|. OF MANSLAUGHTER
Faces Term of z to Fl Years
in Torch Staying of
HitCh-Hiker.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY bne ASSOClhLeu FTeSSs
INDIANAPOLIS, March 13.-Con-
victed of voluntary manslaughter for
the death of an unknown hitch-hiker
whose body he admitted burning in his
automobile near here last May, Harold
Herbert Schroeder, Mobile, Ala, today
faced a 2-to-21-year term in the In
diana State Prison.
Judge Frank p. Baker, who presided
at the trial in Criminal Court, will pro-
nounce sentence at $3.50 o'clock Monday
morning.
The verdict was reached by a jury
after 3 hours and IS minutes delibera-
ton. The case was given the jurors at
3 pm. yesterday after IL days of testi-
mony and arguments before court
room crowded at every session. The
State had sought conviction of first
degree murder and imposition Of the
death penalty.
Opposes Reduction In Term.
Ira M. Holmes, defense counsel, an
uounced he will not f1le any motions to
set aside the verdict, but said he would
confer today with Schroeder's relatives.
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson said he
believed Schroeder will have to serve
the entire 21-year maximum term. He
explained a new rule adopted by the
State Prison Board provides that no
one convicted of voluntary manslaughter
can be released before his maximum
term unless the parole application is
signed by the prosecutor. Wilson de-
clared he would never sign such an ap-
plication for Schroeder.
Three Testify for Defense.
Only three witnesses were presented
In defense Of the 35-year-old Mobile
garage man, against 81 used by the
State. In addition to It's technical plea
of insanity, the defense stressed Schroe-
der's own story, brought out In State
testimony, that the hitch-hiker was
killed when Schroeder's automobile
went into a ditch IS miles west Of Terre
Haute, Ind, and that fearing he would
be accused Of murder he drove back
toward Indianapolis and set the body
afire in the automobile.
The State commended Schroeder in
tended it to be assumed he himself died
in the fire, so he could resume his life
under another name. Testimony OF a
deputy coroner tended to show the VIC
tim was stabbed before his body was
burned, and former Sheriff Winkler
said Schroeder admitted the hitch-hiker
moaned Just before he set fire to the
body.
