plants, and operate on an indie
pendent plan, with no idea Of ever
being joined TO any other.
Another reason for the large
number OF districts in view of pres
ent developments Is -iven as con-
flicting water claims. Many OF the
older districts are prone 70 consider
their water rights better than those
OF newer and non-riparian develop
ments. and are unwilling to take
in these lands. The result is e.
alton OF additional districts.
Rights Unknown
One engineer said, in comment
ing on this, that las a matter Of
fact none OF us knows eXa ly what
water rights he has. IL any, with
respect TO the other districts oper-
ating in the Valley, as this ques-
ton has never been settled In
court"
The 80 districts in the Valley. Is
of which are in Cameron county,
nave a total OF 80 /. ards Of direc-
tors, or les directors. Almost all
OF them maintain offices, some
having entire buildings. They have
tax assessors, tax collectors. n
gineers, managers, and other en-
ployes.
Many of them have during the
past few years undergone great
expense because OF q angeS in the
Rio Grande which have left their
plants off the river. About ten OF
the present plants which were
originally on the river are now on
resacas. Two OF the largest are the
San Benito and Harrington plants,
which must keep dredges in opera
ton 10 keep these eSteros from. fill
ing up with sediment.
Engineers pointed out that a
large plant, such as would be nee
eSsary 10 irrigate one OF lie dis
tricts suggested. could be operated
with almost the same force as a
small plant, the main difference in
cost being the initial investment,
and the exl lSe &c, fuel or power
GoCA "a tA@ AS~Gd4 PAAAPAhbs
Greater Efficiency
The larger machines also have a
greater efficiency. 1t was explained.
Every plant must have surplus
power units, and now with the 80
districts in the Valley the number
Of surplus plants IS a big item Of
expense. This also could be cut TO
three.
One engineer estimated hat the
labor cost in operating three irrlga-
ton systems for the entire Valley
under such a new system would be
only so per cent OF the present cost.
Probability that there would be
a considerable saving in E-ater was
also mentioned, but engineers said
this phase Of the suggested plan
could not be dealt with without
considerable additional study.
Whether any such consolidation
can or will be worked out appears
extremely doubtful now. irrigation
men said. But. with the construc-
ton Of a system Of storage dams
on the Rio Grande 1t would become
more Of a possibility.

Shipments Recede
The Missouri Pacific has moved
SOB cars; the Southern Pacific II.
Shipments receded considerably
during the past week as the Dun
can grapefruit was about cleaned
up and the Marsh seedless only
about to start. The first car Of
Marsh seedless Is believed to have
been that Of John r. Apperson Of
Mercedes.
1t is not likely that the volume
of Marsh shipments will be con-
siderable for several weeks to come
due TO the fact that few orchards
Of this variety are meeting state
green fruit law requirements. Most
Of the Marsh Is meeting juice con-
tent requirements but Is not meet
ing the sugar-acid ratio require
mentS.
The situation in regard to the
Duncan fruit was different. Dun
can which passed juice content
tests usually met the sugar-acid
ratio requirements.
Early Shipping Boon
Shippers have told green fruit
law enforcement officials thar
early opening Of the season has
been a boon because the Duncan
will be well out Of the way before
the Marsh Seeoless is ready. Dun
can prices in the past have drop
ped sharply as soon as the Marsh
came on the market. Most Of the
Duncan which has not moved 10
date has not done so due to the
fact that IL has not met the state
requirements.
The market news service which
was opened in Brownsville this
week by the U. 8. Dept. Of Agri-
culture, may get frequent reports
on shipments by truck as a result
Of arrangements now being made.
The Mexican fruit worm quaran-
tine officials have an INSPECTOR
stationed near Falfurrias to check
ON outgoing fruit to see that it is
properly inspected and packed.
They keep a check on the quantity
Of fruit moving and 1t Is expected
that arrangements will be made to
report this to the news service as
frequently as possible.

make the proper sacrifice in order to
save the party from complete extinc-
ton.
Who Should Run?
Mr.. Lindberg expresses the view
that former Governor Christensen is
out Of the question on account of his
defeat for Senator by Tom Schall a
year ago, and that Ray Chase, last
years nominee of the party for gov
ernor, is likewise not to be considered.
Lindberg mentions State Senator
Rockne, former Senator John A. Hou-
! gen of CroOkston, and Speaker Oscar
A. Swenson, as other prospective NOM
inees, but thinks that they too are not
the strongest to make he race. He
finally hits upon Attorney General
Henry N. Benson as the proper fellow
to make the grand sacrifice.
Now does anybody believe that Mr..
Benson would stand any show of being
elected governor over Floyd B. Olson
in 1882? Those who think so are GER
tainly nOvices in the game of politics.
Exposure Aids FL. Party.
Another thing that will undoubtedly
operate to the advantage of Governor
Olson, as we'll as to the entire Farm
er-Labor ticket, is the corruption and
inefficiency that has been unearthed
in several departments of the recent
Republican state administration.
The Flowers deals in the Rural
Credits department are simply dis
graceful. To what extent they re-
fleet upon other officials of the state
who should have been instrumental
in exposing Flowers dishonesty is a
thing not necessary to discuss here.
The fact remains that Governor Oh
son had scarcely taken Office until he
showed how to get the goods on
Flowers.
Another Corrupt Deal.
Now another corrupt deal is being
exposed. This involves the embezzl-
ing of funds by P. r. Waddell, former
Assistant Commissioner of Purchases,
in the Department of Administration
and Finance. For several years, it
appears, Mr.. Waddell had carried on
