‘ I talked with our foreman yesterday.
I »poke of the
cost of living. He says he startet! in on less wages than I am
^ttinjr. and managed to save money.
It seem# almost im­
possible. but he began by making a schedule of his living ex­
penses those things absolutely neceaaary.
What remameli
ho called his profita, and used half for pleasure expenses,
saving the other half.
He said it was all due to the little
system he used and knowing exactly what he spent” .

Hazy ideas regarding
the Carey act. absence of pro|>er
water legislation ami inexperi­

have grown a crop of troubles
and litigation, dissatisfaction and
disappointment until now, with
a new Desert Ijind Hoard at Sa-
Icm. a policy has been mapped
out which aims to solve the |>rob-

Desert Land Board will know the
reason why.

is consnlcring the question of
preventing further sale of lands

struction of an additional canal,
known as the North Canal, or of
IH'rmitting further sale, ami

to itmstruct the North Canal.

problem, which demands skillful
treatment so as not to jeopardize
interests and inflict needless and
irreparable loss on capital and

On one hand the
board, if it would enforce its
rules to safeguard the settlers.
would cause the forfeiture of man>’ M

much land, and the protection of
the settlers would lie doubtful.
On the other hand, irrigation
projects have not been success­

as these projects re»juire more
money to finance than at first
appears.
