Mr, Bohm has been Interested In Irrigation develop ment and securities for a number of yeirs, and had stopped in Chicago on big way. to tbe southwest to see Mr. Perkins.'- "There isn't any doubt," he added, "but that Irrigation has been given a setback by Urn fact that tho laws did not prevent wild-cat scheme Irrigation securities are not as desir able as they should be because there have been so many people swindled. I was caught myself and I know what I am talking about. Nor is there any doubt as to where the fault lies. The states are to blame for not safeguard ing . the Bettler, the purchasers of lands and the Investors in irrigation securities. "The Irrigation congress at Its meeting In Chicago last December, started work to remedy these condi tions. A resolution which I Introduc ed was passed, condemning them and providing for the. appointment of a commlslflon to Investigate the condi tions In the various states and to re port a method for correcting them at the next congress In Salt Lake City.

An ordinary lamp glvesa bout as much light as a 5 watt electric globe. . t ' It would require five ordinary kerosene lamps to furnish the same light as a 25 watt electric globe eight for a 40 watt, etc. It costs .00375 cents an hour to burn a 25 watt electric light the equivalent of five kerosene lamps, Keroseue sells at 25 cents a gallon. Figure It out yourself just , how much' more it will cost you to produce a given volume of light with kerosene than with electricity. You will then be convinced that electricity is cheaper than any other form of illaininant. That It really does more for less cost. ; - We are convincing people of the advantages of electric lighting every day. Not one user In a hundred would ever be willing to go back to kerosene lamps.
