that they are satisfied to follow the adj
vice of Dr. Mead, who, throughout the
years has proved himself time and again
a true friend of the valley and one whose
counsel is to be needed and respected.
This, certainly, is poor time to throw
him down. 1t not only shows ingrati-
tude for the help he has given us but 1t is
dangerous for the future of the entire
canal project Ranchers and all true
friends of the canal should consider this
view of the matter.
Those agitating for the force account
method are advocating sending another
delegation to Washington. The Press is
opposed to such expense at this time. If
the districts bid on the canal is success
full it will be time then to send a delega-
ton, but not before.
Imperial Valley is concerned above all
with starting the canal work immediate
~ and in having Imperial Valley men en-
ployed on it. 1t has already been dem
onstrated that the latter condition will
be carried out There is no reason to be-
lieve that any able-bodied Imperial Val
ley man wishing to get work on the canal
will not be able to do so.
The quickest way to get the canal
started and to get work for Imperial Val
lev men on the canal, is to play BALI
now with the officials of the reclamation
service

NOT BROKE YET

Proof that the United States is going
to the dogs, that all Of its 12O,OO0,O0O
persons are headed for the poorhouse,
and that the best days are behind us, is
seen in the treatment accorded the gov
ernments offer to sell billion dollars
worth of securities.
That statement is in reverse English.
The government offer was for $780,
100000 in 24 per cent certificates tor
one year
Such a low rate of interest would
hardly seem attractive to the financial
world, and in some quarters it was held
that the securities would be passed up
On the contrary, the day the govern
ment offered its S950000,000, old John
j. Public stepped forward with subscrip-
tons totaling S2714,000,000. In other
words the securities offer was over
subscribed nea.ly three times. Uncle
same didn't have to ''peddle" the securi-
ties: The investing public jumped at
them
As strict matter of fact, President
Roosevelt had to call halt early
Thursday afternoon. Subscriptions even
that early had more than exceeded the
total of the securities
That doesn't look as though we are
BROKE 1t does show, on the other hand,
that the people have plenty of faith in
their country. 1t was decisive answer
to the calamity hoWler' and those who
claim that the good old days are gone
forever.

Mr.. Longears, for he didn't know

I will gnaw down and bring home

So saying, he hoped over the
fields, up hill and down hill until
he reached the woods. There he saw
many evergreen trees that would
be Just right for putting ornaments
on, for lighting with tiny electric
bulbs, red, blue, green, yellow and

that would hold the most presents.
Eyes, I'll come and get this tree

as he stood in front of a large one
with such low branches, touching
the ground, that it was Hike q green
tent. And as the bunny gentleman
stood looking at the tent tree some
of the branches moved and for a
moment he thought there might be
hiding in it one of the Bad Chaps,
like the Fox, the Wolf or the Bob
Cat.
But all Of a sudden, out from the
tree tent came Mr.. Stubtail, the
Jolly Brown Bear gentleman. He
had gone to the woods TO get some
honey for his pancakes and he gave
Mr.. Longears some of the sweet
stuff.

Christmas tree to have little

cheWed some honey. Then he and
Uncle Wiggily went home together,

UNCLE WIGGILY IN THE
WOODS

Uncle Wiggily hoped out to the
kitchen of his hollow stump bun

eaten his breakfast Of carrot oat-
meal in the dining room. In the kit
chen he heard his wife and Nurse
Jane talking about the best way to
wash dishes without getting their
feet wet. I mean the muskrat lady
housekeeper and Mrs. Longears, the
rabbit lady wife of Uncle Wigg1ly,
were talking about ret getting their
own feet wet.

of course, they have no feet.

Yes, [ can we'll believe that,

PLAY BALL NOW

Had it been possible to take a poll of
the ranchers who visited the Imperial
Irrigation District meeting yesterday, or
if a poll of the entire valley could be
taken. il would unquestionably be re-
vealed in either case that the ranchers
want work on the canal to start without
delay.
Whether il is to be built by force ac-
count or by contract is secondary TO the
need of getting construction actually
started with the least possible delay. An
honest answer would declare that
Agitation for the force account meth
cd. despite two straight-from-the-sh
der statements by DR.. ElWood Mead that
the force account is "out, IS not using
the best means for getting construction
started without delay.
When President Hewes and Chief En-
gineer Dowd conferred with DR.. Mead
in Washington he told them the recla-
nation service is opposed to the force ac-
count method.
Dr. Mead was even more emphatic
when he conferred with the directors of
the district in Los Angeles on November
16. Again he declared the force account
method is out
Taking the question Of the force ac-
count method to the President, over the
head of DR. Mead, is dangerous business,
particularly at this time, before bids on
construction work have been opened and
while there is chance for the district
to obtain the work by submitting a de-
sirable bid
Throughout the whole time required
for constructing the canal, the Imperial
Irrigation District must deal with the
reclamation service. To antagonize the
officials of that branch of the govern
ment at this time is to jeapordize the en-
tire project. Officials of the reclama-
ton service will not be inclined to CO.
operate if their advice is ignored from
the very start.
The charge that those opposed to the
force account are opposed to the canal,
Is ridiculous. Accepting the advice of
the reclamation service is the quickest
way to get the canal started and those
advocating cooperation with the reclama-
ton service are prompted to do so by the
desire to see the dirt flying as soon as
possible
Drawing a parallel between opposition
to the force account agitation and the
old opposition to high dam at Boulder
canyon is also ridiculous In the latter
case the district and Imperial Valley
were fighting their enemies. Will those
who are agitating force account put Dr.
Elwood Mead down as an enemy of the
valley? By going contrary to his advice
and by attempting to place him in the
same category as the low dam adherents
is to put him in the light of an enemy Of
the valley.
1t does not follow that those opposed
to the agitation for force account are

Uncle Wiggily was just going to
say, "One Christmas tree" but ne
happened to notice that Baby Bun
ty was hiding behind the gas stove.
So, instead of saying anything about
going to look for a Christmas tree,
Uncle Wiggily said
TITS a secret" At the same time
he winked his left eye at his wife
and his right eye at Nurse Jane.
By this, both the muskrat lady
housekeeper and the rabbit lady
wife knew that Mr.. Longears didn'5
want Bunty to guess why he was
going TO the woods
"Oh, yes, Of course, hop TO the
woods and see about the secret,
said Nurse Jane. At the same time
Mrs. Longears asked:
why are you hiding behind the
gas stove, Baby Bunty?'

below normal.
In Bismarck 1905 persons had vot-

Of approximately 1000 or 70 per cent
