not with the method. He ad
mitted there is waste in the En
terprise district, but said "some
thing is being done about it,"
such as an underground pressure
system and eliminating a dead
end ditch.
Subdivisions Eyed
He said the district only wants
enough water to irrigate crops
to the maximum efficiency and
is open to an amicable settle
ment. The special commission inves
tigating the charges questioned
Thomas at some length concern
ing the development of subdi
visions on the Enterprise dis
trict. Thomas said the district
includes 3000 acres on which
4500 people reside. About 880
acres have been subdivided.
Change in Crops
Thomas, I. J. Dixon and G. J.
Hilyard, the latter two directors
of the Enterprise district, stated
that changing agricultural con
ditions brought about a greater
need for water here and the ad
visability of raising the duty of
water.
They said that 20 years ago
grain and alfalfa were the prin
cipal products raised. Now there
is a heavy production of potatoes
and alsike clover, requiring
more water. They also said that
the development of small tracts
had increased the water demand
Dr. William Peterson, one of
the investigators, asked if the
small tracts development had
not been accompanied by the
use of more land for roads and
for buildings, thus reducing
water requirements.
In questioning of Hilyard and
Dixon, it was brought out there
are not at present measuring de
vices at the points of intake for
individual farmers.
Dr.' Peterson said that it
might be necessary to install
such devices in order to deter
mine the highest efficiency of
the use of water.
"Have you thought of the cost
of these devices and who might
pay for them?" he asked.
He also said that it would be
unfair to attempt to make farm
ers produce less crops, but that
it might be possible to intro
duce methods of irrigation which
would use less water more effi
ciently. He asked if there would
be any opposition to this, and
the farmers replied they could
not speak for the other farmers
of the district.
Superintendent Thomas point
ed out that there is ample water
for the Klamath project. He
said the project has an actual
surplus of 1,000,000 acre feet.
Just before noon Monday rep
resentatives of the Pine Grove
irrigation district appeared,
They were L. O. Mills, presi
dent; A. R. Campbell, secretary,
and W. E. Cunningham, director.
All objected to excess charges.
Clifford E. Fix, assistant chief
counsel of the bureau of recla
mation, and W. D. Burt, special
agent of the interior depart
ments bureau of investigation,
sat with Dr. Peterson at the
hearing and asked many ques
tions of the witnesses.
Fix, in particular, questioned
Thomas about the state laws
which provide that only owners
of four acres or more of land
can vote in district elections,
and that charges are based on
nothing less than one acre.
Thomas said that the four-
acre rule was established when
suburban development put many
small holders in the irrigation
districts, these people being un
familiar with farming practices
and problems, farm crop prices,
and so on. He indicated the pur
pose was to keep district con
trol in the hands of farmers.

Police Warn Drivers Not
To Follow Fire Trucks
City police Monday issued a
warning to motorists to stop
following a fire truck on the
way to a fire. This is a danger
ous practice both because it
may result in an accident with
the fire truck, or some other
vehicle, and also because it
hinders the firemen when they
stop in a hurry to fight the
fire, according to Chief of Po
lice Frank Hamm. Another
violation the motorists commit
is to not drive over to the curb
when they hear the siren of
either a police car or a fire
truck, Chief Hamm said, adding
that the excuse always offered
is, "I thought the siren was
meant for someone, -else." iThe
following is the state law on
following a fire truck:
Section 55-2503 Following a
Fire Apparatus Prohibited, "It
shall be unlawful for the driver
of any vehicle other than one
on official business to follow
any fire apparatus traveling
in response to a fire alarm
closer than 500 feet or to drive
into or park such vehicle with
in the . lock where the fire ap
paratus has stopped in answer
to a fire alarm, or within three
blocks of a point where the
fire is in progress."
Section 55-2312 Exceptions to
the Right of Way, .'Tho driver
ot a vehicle upon a street snail
yield the right of way to au
thorized emergency vehicles
when the latter are operated
in emergencies and the drivers
thereof sound audible signals
by bell, siren, compression or
exhaust whistle. Upon the ap
proach of any authorized emer
gency vehicle giving signal bjr
siren, bell, compression or ex
hajst whistle the driver of
every other vehicle shall im
mediately drive the same to a
position as near as possible and
parallel to the right hand edge
or curb of the highway, clear
of any intersection of highways,
and shall stop and remain in
such position unless otherwise
directed by a police officer un
til the authorized emergency
vehicle shall have passed."

ASUNCION, Paraguay, July
28 (IP) Tho death penalty for

called it "the supremo interest
ot 1' .iBlton" to "have strict

to which anarchy would con
duct It."
There was no dlroct indica

Of. U. S. Navy
MANILA, July 28 (IF) Tho
Philippine off-shore patrol wus
placed under the jurisdiction of
the sixteenth naval district to
night, becoming the first unit of
tho Philippine armed forces to
be Incorporated with the United
States forces as ordered by Pros
Idont Roosevelt.-
The patrol comprises about
150 officers and men, two torpe

The air army has more than a
hundred trained Filipino com
bat pilots and an undisclosed
number of training planes which
could be converted into pursuit
ships.
Absorption of the Philippine
army, political circles pointed
out, will ease the common
