NKW YOUK, April 21. "I com
mit my soul Into tho hands of, my
savior la tho full confldonco that
having redeemed It, and washed it,
In his most precious blood, ho will
present it faultless before tho throne
of my heavenly father; and I entreat
my children In maintain and defend
nt all hazards, and at any cost ot per
sonal sacrifice, tho blessed doctrine
of tho complete atonement for sin
through tho blood of Jesus Christ,
unco offered and through that alone."
This Is tho extraordinarily striking
utterance which begins tho last will
and testament of John Plerpont Mor
gan who died at Home March 31,
whoso body heaped with flowers
from the crowned heads of Kuropc,
was a fortnight later brought back
to his own land and last Monday
borno to Its last resting placo tn
Hartford.
Tho amount of trusts and bequests
named by specific suras is under
twenty million dollars but tho cntlro
residue of tho cstato Is left to J. P.
Morgan, Jr., who Is designated by
his father to becomo chief heir, no
only to his fortune but to his many
charitable and artistic activities.
As to. tho document Itself it is
unusual In many ot its features and
according to thoso two or three in
timate friends who already havo had
u gllmpso of It, there Is In It a por
trait of Morgan himself, beginning
with tho strlk'ng confession ot his
religious faith (a sldo ot his charac
ter which was known to his close as
sociates but not to tho world) and
running through all of Its thirty
seven articles duly set forth in the
same logical, orderly faihion which
his friends say marked all of Mor
gan's mental processes.
. It is worthy of tho that tho will
was executed as lato as January 4
last and a codlcal attached January
0, only tho day beforo Morgan sailed
from America on tho trip from which
ho never returned.
To Mrs. Frauces LouUa Tracy
Morgan is left tho income from one
million, with power to dlsposo of tho
capital by will as she may elect.

SPEEDY AOTION NECESSARY,

writ It'll by K. K. Neill, viec-presidon! of I ho Ko.mic
Hiver Canal Company. II is proof enou.uli thai speedy
aclion is needed ir wo wish lo inaugurate an era of pros
perity and (lovolopniont in Iho valloy.
Liiiul owners nro offered a twenty year water eontraet
with no payments for tho first three to five years, thus
making the water pay for itself, both in inereased produc
tion and added land values.
Tho const met ion of the irrigation system means the
construction of tho trolley line and of various other exten
sive enterprises, tho financing of which, we are assured,
have been completed, contingent upon tho required acre
age or land being signed up for irrigation.
If this chance is allowed to slip by probably never
again will such a favorable contract bo offered land owners.
Opportunity is knocking at our dooi-s if we don't open
them, wo havo only ourselves to blame and should exper
ience, and probably "will experience, real hard times to
bring our land owners to our senses.
Several thousand acres have been signed up, nearly
all owners of small tracts. Tho large owners, many hold
ing for speculative purposes, are conspicuous by their
absence. Yet how can they expect to either sell or en
hance the value of the land, without irrigation'?
' Kcail Mr. Xcill's letter over. "While he minimizes the
present productivity and possibilities, and quotes the only
shipper in the vallev that attempts to market culls as fruit,
in the main he states the truth. The trouble with the val
lev is that the balance of trade is against it for lack of suf
ficient production, due not only to young orchards not
being in bearing, but to lack of irrigation.
If vou want prosperity,

Jack-on county's allotment for its

Secretary of State Oleolt says
that tho law 'enacted by the Iitrt

providing for district fairs, but au
thorizes a county fair in each coun

ganized or tin agricultural society
has been holding county fairs then
that organization or society is to be

fair. Nut if no county fair is now
in existence then the county court is
authorized to appoint u county fair

more liberal contract Is that they
deal In n forelRn Jnoncy market
whuro bettor terms can Ito seen rod.
I havo looked up tho Interests buhlud
this Kngllsh syndicate and know
them to bo sound nud strong. If
the peoplo should sign up with thorn,
thousands and thousands of dollars
would be put in this valloy aud e cry
one would be benefitted.
Xow Is Time to Sign Up
We gavo this option then bcllevlug
tlvat tho ranch owners dnslrcd a more
liberal contract than wo were able to
finance. If thu fruitgrowers and
ranch owners desire to purchaso
their water on a 20 year basis, wo
earnestly urga them to get busy and
sign up for tho acreago asked by tho
Kugllsh syndicate.
If the ranch owners do not accept
tho English company's offer, how
ever, by signing up at once tho re
quired amount ot acreage, and our
company continues In thu field, and
is called upon to flnanco and build
the cjnaH. wo will be unablo.to
flnanco the 20 year contract.
Our arrangements have all been
based upon a 10 year contract. Wo
aro prepared to carry out this ar
rangement through our financial
backing, and aro ready, ablo and will
ing at all times to comply with our
agreements as outlined In tho 10
year contract as proposed by tho
English syndicate.
Thu purposo of this letter Is to
notify tho farmers nnd ranch owners
that If they desire a more liberal
contract that tho 10 year contract
put out by tho Itoguo Itlvor Valley
Canal company, and published In tho
Mcdford press, they should at once
sign up tho contract and meet the
requirements of the English syndi
cate, thereby enabling thorn to tako
over the property and holdings of tho
Itogua Itlvor Valley Canal company
under their option, which oxplros on
May '.'Oth next.
Action Is linpcrntlto
It certainly behooves tho land
owner of tho Itoguo Itlvor valley to
at on co commence producing, If ho
expects to hold tho present land val
ues. Tho Itoguo Itlvor valley shipped In
tho past year In tho neighborhood of
700 cars of fruit, l'osslbly 40 per
cent of that fruit was a commercial
fruit, owing to tho process of thin
ning, and tho exceptionally good caro
taken to retain tho moisture In tho
ground by continuous cultivation and
mulching. Tho other CO per cent
put tho producers In red Ink, largoly
through undersized fruit, as Bhown
by tho hooks of tho Producers Fruit
company, a table of which has been
published In tho locai press, and
kindly received through Mr. Kinney,
tho manager of tho company, who
will bo Klad to verify tho tublo as
published In tho papers.
