other. If ell the farmers had paic
their taxes there would have beer
no necessity of placing q water
charge. This situation was created
by some landowners urging Others
not to pay their taxes and ,ther
slipping in and paying their own.
Hardship Inevitable
1T is not possible to operate g
district and to keep the water run
ming if one-third of the people take
a recess on payments. That is why
the district was forced to impose
an additional charge upon those
who already had paid their obliga-
tions. 1t is unfair to do so but
until some way is discovered to
force the owners of delinquent land
to pay for the water they use or
stop farming, there is going to be
a hardship for some of the ranch
erS.
II have the greatest confidence in
the legal ability 81 Charles L.
Childers," said HeweS, land 1 think
he could find a way to credit the
water charge TO the next assess
mentS if the board wanted him to. y
But if Childers cannot find a
legal way to do that" asked Rose
would you want the board to take
the action even though Childers
and all of us knew it was illegal
and unlawful?"
Well" said Hewes,' "in time of
emergency I think justice should
enter into the situation"
Rose then explained that Child
ers could not keep the board from
taking an action but could advise
them against it, IF we took the
action against his advice and when
We all knew there was no legal
foundation for it, all he could do
would be to try to get us out of it
the best way he could"
Raises Bank Issue
ChilderS then explained that the
district legal department, officials
and board members with the assist
ance of II. j. Hankins, authority
upon irrigation law and attorney
for several irrigation districts in the
northern part of the state, and H.
D. Wagner, secretary Of the Cali
fornia Districts association, were
seeking every means which would
permit the board to take the action
the farm bureau desired.
At this point M. j. Dowd, chief
engineer, said that the banks had
a definite line of credit
upon a definite schedule of proceed
ure with the water charge entering
into the plan. He said he did not
know whether the banks would
their credit if the water
charge were changed or not.
THE great trouble in this situa-
tion," said Rose, lis with the de-
linquent landowner. He planned
not to pay his assessments because
it would be hard for him for some
other reason and now plans to re-
fuse to pay the water toll. If he
is permitted to get away with that,
he could get water for three years
without it costing him a cent. That
will have to be stopped in fairness
to those of us who have paid"
The discussions continued until
late in the afternoon.

in the very top.
Although 1 had shot about
four or five times I asked my
father to let me shoot at the
squirrel. He gave me the gun.
I took good aim and shot. The
squirrel was shot before in the
leg. He started to run and I
shot again and hit him in the
head. He fell right into my
dogs mouth"
All the young hunters in the
club will like that letter, we are
convinced. And Francis must

Hail to the Adventure Club!
A club for all of us:
without fight or fuss.
No finer leader can there be
Than old Kit Carson, scout,
who hides the seLret word from us
Until we sea- Ce can find 1t out.
And as we journey along. day by day
We're always thinking of something

never written you a letter be-
fore so thought I would write
one today.
You have a very interesting
article in the paper every day.
I am in the sixth grade at
school and I like to read books.
My hobby is doing magic tricks.
You may think this is a queer
hobby, but I read all the books
I can find on the subject"
Fred is wrong about that.
