Waterton Park Bridge
Players Are Carrying
Big Sticks = Deer

This winter as the women of
Canada's Waterton Lakes national
park townsite go to play after
noon bridge, they carry a big stick
or club.
The problem, reports Mrs. Don
Barnum, wife of Glaciers district
ranger at st. Mary, is mule deer.
There's often more deer than
people in this winter-isolated lake
side Canadian community that now
has a population of about 100.
The deer are little inclined to
get off the paths and into the
deep snow to make way for people.
A prod stick helps.

The teachers teach in school that
George Washington never told a
lie which in itself is lie. It can't
be any use to you or I, when we
are out of school. What I really
want to know is how he got
where he did?
We all are alike. Do you remem-
ber the panic in 1880. 1t caused
some to suffer and some to act
mean, there were thousands of
people out in the streets broke,
ragged, hungry with nothing to
eat. BY many poor families this
cry was-the rich must get busy
or some will die, it was not by
strange loafers this cry was made,
but by law-abiding citizens whose
taxes had been paid. Then out
into the city, there was a voice of
charity saying let's help the poor,

The California
Propaganda Line
You Must Help Answer It!

The California propaganda line
has been summarized in booklet
called 1.-THE Nations Most Fantas-
tic Project" This booklet consists
of a group of big lies, from be-
ginning to end. Like all big lies
easily told, these take few more
words to answer than they do to
tell.
The booklet starts off with the
question "Why is the Central Ari-
zona Project known as the most
fantastic irrigation project in the
history of the United StateS?"
Well, the truth is that it isn't.
But that's one of those "Why don't
you quit beating your Mother?"
types of questions that are intend
ed maliciously to sow the seed of
falsehood in the mind of per-
son ignorant of the facts.
The Californians charge the Ari-
zona project with number of
things. For instance:
California says our project will
cost 81, 1853 an acre. It's a lie. One
of the best indications that it is
lie is that sometimes California
uses the $1,858 figure, sometimes
$4,000, sometimes $1,000, and at
other times any other figure their
propagandistS think of at the mo-
ment. Here is the truth:
The Central Arizona Project
is in two parts. The total cost
will be 700 millions. About 400
millions are for power develop
ment which everyone, including
California, agrees must come.
The other 300 millions will pro-
vide supplemental water for ap-
proximately 100000 acres. Di-
vide it yourself and you'll get
$400. Actually, the irrigation
features will call for water toll
of $4.75 an acre foot, and the
whole project will pay itself out
easily in 70 years.
California says our project will
enrich 420 large landowners $780,
600 apiece out Of public funds.
It's q lie. More than 10000 irri-
gators are tied together in this
area, and all will prosper or all
will perish in direct proportion to
the availability of water. Here is
the truth:
No landowner will prosper any
more than the community of
landowners around him proSpers,
acre for acre. All will prosper or
all will perish in direct proper
ton to the availability of water.
California says Arizona is afraid
of the u. S. Supreme Court because
Arizona will not go for the adjudi-
cation resolutions California has
introduced, but insists on the ad-
judication plan in S. Is. Here is
the truth:
California adjudication resolu-
tions would allow a two-year
wait before suit filing, and would
further allow almost intermin-
able delay in settling the suit.
The Acknowledged plan would
require prompt action and al
low prompt settlement. The Ari-
Zona plan further would allow
the Central Arizona Project to
be begun Immediately the water
rights suit, should one be filed,
is settled. California in her willy
way wants us to start all over
again trying to get the Central
Arizona Project after the many
years of litigation and delay
which her plan would insure are
ended.
