the draft finally adopted. The af

cussion of the new plan.
Muinhnmhln in the board of trus

of farmers as to who are really
within the district at the present
time. For the information of every
body concerned we believe that the
following statement will beol intir-.
est.
ill Older that land may be In
cluded within an irrigation district,
which has not been included at the
original organization, four distinct
stepn are necessary. First : a peti
tion must be circulated describing
the boundaries of the proposed ad
dition, and this petition must re
ceive the endorsement before a
notary of the majority of the hold
ers of the majority of the acreage
of th" proposed addition. Second:
whe n tin's majority of the acreage
has been secured the petition is to
be submitted to the board, and a
notice of said hearing must be pub
lished in the Jocal paper for at
leastlhrce successive weeks preced
ing the hearing upon the same.
Third: when the board sits to hear
the arguments for and against the
inclusion or exclusion of the lands
to the district the hoard may, if it
sees fit, exclude from the proposed
acreage to be included any particu
lar tracts which in its judgment is
advisable. Fourth: no land of any
property owner who objects to being
included within the district, can be
taken into the district without, his
consent, except an election, he called
in tin! affected territory ana the
question to be submitted on the In
clusion of the land, "yes", and the
inclusion of the land, "no", carry by
at least a three-fifth vote in order
that this may be done.
The fact that a number of farm
ers have signed a petition, to in
clude their land within the dis
trict, and who may now feel that
they would prefer not to be includ
ed, has not damaged them In any
sense. Their relation to the district

has no one of the itemized steps
been completed. Personally, I nave
a great deal of faith In the ultimate
construction of the jonn Day pro
ject, and hope that the land Vhich Is
proposed to be included will ulti
mately be included, tn the district,
but whether it ever Is or not, every
one should know exactly how this
shall be brought about and have a
thorough understanding of the mat
ter, so that when it is taken in, if it
ever is, it will be with the full and
complete understanding of every
body concerned.

j Cable Situation Complicated
Lit f s ,
v ,
, ' mi
The cable situation seems to be
complicated beyond the comprehension
of the ordinary American. The big
powers appear to be hopelessly dead
locked in the disposition of the tier
man cables. It in charged that France
is trying to deprive the I'nited States
of any shares In them. Japan, it is
stated, is "trying to euchre the United
States out of cable facilities in the
Pac!!ic. The Western Union is at log
gerjieuds with the United States de
partment over the IJtr.zll-Uurbados-MiainT
cable, V'hidi was to have been
landed at Miami, Fla. And the sen
ate interstate commerce cominlltee Is
trying to get light on the situation.
Anyway, Newcomb Carlton (por
trait herewith) is president of the
Western Union, and he told the sen
ate committee that all American ca
ble messages leaving Great Britain
were being held up for examination
bv British naval intelligence officers.
The testimony of Mr. Carlton, Norman Pavis, undersecretary of state,
and Walter S. Rogers, American delegate to the cable communications con
ference, all showed that the United States was almost entirely dependent
upon British, French and Japanese cables for its cable communication with
other countries.
Mrs. Waller Duncan, who under
went a major operation a couple of
weeks ago, was able to leave the
hospital this morning.
