(Continued From Front Page)
made apparent in the meeting by the
attitude of the people of the Coachella
valley and those of Imperial toward
each other, the feeling appearing to
be quite bitter. Why this is so did
not develop, but there appears to be
a division of opinion between the two
irrigation districts regarding the
Mexican and the proposed all-Amer-ican
canals. The Coachella people
want the new canal, as it will makn
possible the bringing in of a large
territory that cannot be reached by
the present system. It also develop
ed that there was a shortage of water
after the flood season passes, and the
people on the Mexican side of the line
get the first of the water, the Amer
ican people who built and own the
great system being held up by the
land owners on the Lower California
side of the border. This condition
would be remedied by the all-Ameri-can
canal, and it looks as though this
canal would be built, whether the big
dam has existence or'not. The Amer
ican land owners complain bitterly of
their treatment not only by the Mex
ican irrigationists, but by the Mexi
can government. The Americans
have to maintain the canal and when
they have to take materials into the
sister republic they are taxed to the
limit, although it is intended for the
improvement of Mexican property as
well as safeguarding their own in
terests. Director Davis, in calling the meet
ing to order, stated that sufficient
funds were now available to talrp nr
of the further investigation of the
noulder dam project and told the
great gathering1 of interested nonnlo
that there was every reason to be
lieve1 that the project would become
a reality. The interests of the south
west demanded that this imDortant ir
rigation and power projecct be the
first to be considered by congress, and
he was of the imDression that-, tlio
Kinkead bill would materially assist
in me development not only of the
Colorado river basin projects, but that
it would lead to immediate action.
While only $20,000 was provided for
the completion of the surveys by con
gressional appropriation the Imperial
Irrigation company came to the aid
of the project engineers with $40,000
more to insure at least the completion
of the surveys and an estimate of the
cost of the dam. Aid was offered by
many of the other irrigation districts
along the river and the City of Los
Angeles also offered any money nec
essary to provide ample means for the
rapid completion of the work. The
chamber of commerce of San Diego
also came forward with offers of aid.
The large sums offered by the various
interests indicate the wide spread in
terest aroused in the big project.
The various phases of the power
and water distribution were discussed,
but the sense of the meeting appear
ed to be that the reclamation service
was capable of handling this feature
to the best interests of all the people.
The speakers were enthusiastic over
the possibilities of the great impound
ing and power dam and believed that
its completion would mark one of the
greatest eras in the history of irriga
tion in the southwest. And while
some of the men believed that the
project could be carried through by
private enterprise the better opinion
to leave it to the federal government
prevailed. The government could
smooth out the wrinkles creased by
conflicting1 interests and would be
able to arrange the interests of the
Mexican states in the water, if any
interests were found.
From the northern part of the basin
came assurances that every effort
would be put forth to bring the pro
ject to reality, but that each of the
states wanted their interests in the
Colorado basin safeguarded. They did
not want the rights of the lower val
leys so fixed that they would forever
be debarred from securing water from
the river source for Droiects of their
own; and to have this feature safe
guarded the people wished to enter
protest against any attempt to put
the project over through private en
terprise. Secretary Lane was unable to be at
the meeting, but we are giving an ex
cerpt of the view he takes of this
wonderful project:
"A river that has never been, and
can never be the highway of the peo
ple or of their commerce, hut a migh
ty stream destined to give life to mil
lions of unborn acres, to furnish light
and power to the towns, farms, min
es, railroads and industries near by,
and to draw from all the world those
who love beauty and are impressed by
grandeur in nature this is the Col
orado River, a unique national asset.
We have not yet begun to use it nor
to see the things it can do. It some
day will be a series of long lakes,
tnmhlinB' cataracts and hich dams.
It will lift its own waters and spread
them over lands that will produce
whatever man needs for life or indus
try. "I look to see $100,000,000 expend
ed on and along the Colorado in the
next ten or twentv vears. and most
of that expenditure will be in evidence
500 years hence in the permanent
works that supply water to this

JOHN W. NORTON
Candidate for United States Senator
Does Not Believe in Mud-Slinging
He is a strong advocate of good, clean and hon
est Politics and believes in a man making a thorough
canvass and depending upon his own ability to fill
the office to which he aspires, to carry him through.
He believes that every man who is qualified to fill
the position of any office must be a gentleman in
every sense of the word, and that it is not necessary
to decry his opponent. If he is a fit man to fill the
office he is too much of a gentleman to pick out the
weak points of his adversary and place them before
the general public. Mr. Norton believes in a clean
fighting campaign to an ultimate conclusion along
these lines.
The man with the best qualifications will win,
and it is up to the voters of Arizona to choose that
man without malice and without personal antagonism.
American Nile."
Unlike the meeting at Los Angeles
last May, the people of San Diego
were not only interested in the arri
val of visitors, but they extended their
hospitality in every way possible. The
visitors were dined bv the chamber nf
commerce and those who wished were
taken to Tia Juana to view that
quaint old Mexican town, where you
could get a glass of "suds" or take a
long shot at the "tiger".
But the one thing was accomplish
ed: The people of the whole south
west want this great Colorado river
waterway made useful to the people
and its destructive ravages controll
ed, and that it will be is a surety.
Mohave county, and in fact every sec
tion contiguous to it will receive im
measurable benefits, if not from the
distribution of its waters, then from
Jhe enormous power that will be
created and sold cheaply throughout
the whole surrounding territory. Its
building will be watched with great
interest and its potentialities will
grow as the years go on.
