MUST STAND .TOGETHER
THE value of: irrigation lias long been recognized by
the farmers of the Ablegate, Little Butte, Evans
ereek and other sections where it has been utilized for half
a century. .Most of these fanners regard the water as of
more value than the land, and owe their crops along the
narrow benches and precipitous hillsides almost entirely
to tin; use of water.
Although handicapped often by poor and shallow soil,
the yields average more per acre than in the richer, easier
tilled lands of the floor of the valley. From a few acres
they produce more than the dry fanners of the main val
ley produce from several times the acreage. Yet the ob
ject lesson is lost on many of the larger property owners
of the valley who still obst inately oppose irrigation.
It is the favorite excuse at the present time of these
reactionaries that, they do not oppose irrigation but do
oppose the. district plan. Yet every effort to secure suffi
cient signed acreage to justify the extension of privately
owned and controlled irrig:it ton conduits has met with sim
ilar opposition, resulted in failure because not sufficient
water could be contracted to justify the investment re
quired to biiihl the canals.
Development of water costs money. Placing it upon
the land costs more money. Capital cannot bo expected to
make the investment unless returns are assured. To water
half the hinds in a given area costs almost as much as to
water all. if only hall: the lands are watered, the cost of
the water per acre is nearly doubled which renders it a
burdensome investment.
Under the district plan, the farmers own and manage
their own water system. Equal treatment results. The
water is paid for on easy payments, out of the increased
production of the soil. It involves no hardship; but en
ables the industrious to make farming profitable, "With
water, the land hr.K a ready market for sale or lease with
out it, it cannot earn returns upon its present valuation.
The only way the upper valley will ever secure irriga
tion is under the district plan. It is a case of standing to
gether all for one and one for all.

PRESIDENT WILSON S urging of a pence conference
according to Secretary Lansing, was to keep the
United States from being drawn into war through the end
less aggressions of belligerents. Germany torpedoes our
ships, England seizes our cargoes and mails and the fric
tion engendered makes the role of a neutral most trying.
With the nationalization of all industries, including ship
ping, it is going to become more and more difficult to keep
on good terms with the warring nations.
In a speech at Pittsburg last January, President Wil
son said: ".''..
"When you know that there aro combustible materiuls In tlio lifo of
IMC world and in your own mil ion. il life nnd Unit tho:ky Is full of floating
sparks from a great eonflagaratlou. aro you going to sit down nnd suy it
will be time when the fire begins to do something? 1 do not believe that
tho fire is going to begin, but 1 would be sure of it it we were ready lor
the tiro. I want to come as your responsible servant and tell you this,
that we do not control the fire. We aro under tlto influence of it, but we
are not at the ourec of It. Wo are where It at any time may affect us
and yet wo cannot govern its spread nnd progress."
At Cleveland, the president said:
"Two-thirds of the world are at war. It Is not merely an Kuropcan
struggle; nations in the Orient hnv3 become involved as well as nations
in tlio west and everywhere there seems to be creeping upon the nations
disengaged the spirit and the threat of war. All the world outside of Ame
rica is on fire."
During the recent campaign the president repeatedly
called attention to the increasing dill lenities ot the role
the United States was forced to plav and the possibility
of being drawn into the conflagration at any time, despite
every possible move to escape it.
It is apparent that the president's move was not dic
tated by any desire to aid any of the warring nations but
actuated by self-preservation.

TO TALK PEACE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Presi
dent Wilson has appealed to all the
belligerents to discuss terms of peace.
Without actually proposing peace
or offorlng mediation, the president
has sent formal notns to the govern
ments of all the warring nations sug
gesting that "an early occasion be
sought to call out from the nations
now at war such an avowal of their
respective vlewsas to the terms upon
which the war might lie concluded
nnd the1 arrangements which would
be deemed satisfactory as a guaran
tee against its renewal or the kind
ling of any similar conUlct In the fu
ture as would make It possible frank
lyto compare them."
Wholly without notice and entirely
contrary to what administration of
ficial!! have described as his course,
tho president last night dispatched
the notes to all the belligercntK and
to all the neutrals for their Informa
tion. Summarized In the president's
own words as contained in tho notes.
his attitude is as follows:
"The president Is not proposing
peace; he Is not even offering media
tion. Ho is merely proposing that
soundings be taken In order that we
may learn, the neutral nations with
tho belligerents, how near the haven
of peace may be for which all man
kind longs with an intenso nnd in
creasing longing. Ilo believes that
the spirit In -which he speaks and lite
objects which he seeks will bo.under
slood by nil concerned, and ho confi
dently holies for a response which
will bring a new light into the affairs
of the world.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S TEXT
IN MIND LONG PERIOD
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. There
are indications that President Wilfon
began preparation ot his note some
time ago, probably even before the
German proposals came out, and that
the offer of the central powers and
the outstanding problem made a fa
vorable opportunity for its prcsenta-1
tion.
Just when the note was finished
has not been disclosed but it Is known
that it went to the cables yesterday.
On Monday the higher officials of the
state department were taken Into the
president's confidence and the text
was sent to the public printer to
make copies for the diplomatic corps.
Tho fact that the note was completed
not later than Monday and its dis
patch Tuesday indicate that it was
seat regardless nf anything that
Lloyd-George might say.
Officials expect tho note to he re
ceived with general favor in Germany
but many believe that the real test
will como with its arrival In the en
tente countries, where many influen
tial persons have feared and sought
to prevent any American intervention
until the military situation changed.
From the fact, however, that Lloyd-
Georgo'8 reply to the central powers
was milder than generally had been
expected and still left the way open
for further negotiations, it Is believed
that the allies will meet the present
note in at least a friendly spirit.
Those In official circles who ills-
cussed the note thought it worthy of j
attention that President Wilson, ancr
saying his action had long been In
mind, added:
"The nresident can only beg that
his suggestion be considered entirely
on its own merits and as if it had
been made in other circumstances.
