inaugur ate and direct the work in every supervisor district in the county At least 10 per cent of the vote polled for governor in the last general election that 1910 must be represent ed on the petition before the supervisors are obliged to call the election This means that 2799 signatures must be obtained Merced Sun The above shows what our neighbors on the south are doing in the way of converting the Yosemite road traffic by way of Modesto and is simply the entering wedge for good roads for the entire county of Merced What are we of Stanislaus going to do with our roads? you thing that we have dene about enough patch work on our highways? There have been thousands upon thousands of dollars spent on our roads and what have we got? Many of our main traveled roads are simply cow trails and mighty poor cow trails at that In a few days now the auto travel to the Yosemite valley is to commence and after spending thousands of dollars in having the Coulteryilie road declared1 the official highway what are we of Stanislaus going to offer the auto traveler Surely with: our cow trails we are going to he advertised but think you that such an advertisement is going to help us any? the love of Mike" let us get busy some way or other on some of those roads We realize that it is too late to do much road work this year but a few men with a pick and shovel might possibly make our end of the Coulterville read at least passable for this year and then maybe by the time the Yose mite travel starts next year the peo pie of Stanislaus county will have im-hided enough patriotism to put our cow trails in such a condition that it will at least be possible to drive the old cow over them without using a derrick to pull her out of the sand to and Miss Mae Giovanetti went Satur day to Pacific Grove for a vacation the contract AH bids must be filed at or before the time specified The Council reserves the right to reject any and all bids Done by order of the Council of the City of Modesto this 23rd day of July 1913 VV THOMPSON City Clerk lOt Mr and Mrs A A'oung of Modesto Mrs James Young and Mrs Haskell of Bowling Green Ky and Miss Dollie Griffen of Merced were 40 acres all in very best alfalfa south front main road main ditch close to school complete set buildings all strip checked $11000 $4000 cash SO acres all in fine alfalfa 1 miles from Modesto city limits on main ditch all in regular one-acre checks good boxing throughout mile from car line fine location in every way only $300 an acre will subdivide selling 20 or 40 acres 1-3 cash balance easy Southern Pacific Editor News: I see by paper that our people have won a great victory in the Hetch Hetchy matter To be sure San Francisco gets Hetch Hetchy but on tlie other had we have secured the water that we already have You publish an interview with Mr Griffin in which he says: the terms of the bill the districts ar 'pcured for all time to come in their first right to the waters of the Tu olumne and this will be unquestion tbly sufficient for the irrigation of 100000 acres according to the opin ions of Engineer Cory Engi neer Burton Smith and every member of the board of army It is difficult to treat this conten tion seriously when we consder that neither Congress nor San Francisco can guarantee us any amount of wat er whatsoever nor can they say any-hing about the distribution of the water of the Tuolumne river The water of this State belongs to the State and will be distributed tinder he laws of the State Any water user from the Tuolumne river can go into court nr before the water commission irovided for by the last legislature nd compel the districts to turn over water upon which the districts ave not the first right and to say that for all time to come the districts are secured in their first right to the water of the Tuolumne river is misleading We are secure in no water ight except as we make good our ight to the use of the water by us ing it Everybody knows that with increased acreage the demands on the iver Will be much greater in the fu-ure than now Where will we get ater in future jiry years like this ear when San Francisco has a large tortion of our watershed dammed back nd is holding the water in her res-rvoirs for her own use When San Francisco needs water or thinks she needs it for domestic purposes she ould get it because her right to use ater for domestic purposes would superior to our right to use water or irrigation What water user win epend cn the San Francisco people store water for his use for irriga-ion purposes and expect them to deliver it to him when they would need for drinking purposes? So we find that the Raker bill gives us nothing nit wliat we already have I doubt the power privileges would be of any value to us because we already have a state commission which fixes price that water companies may marge based on actual investment nd San Francisco will be entitled to Charge us on the same basis Wc let nothing for giving Up our fight to prevent San Francisco from getting the vetch Hetchy except a lot of empty guarantees and promises Tho tlanation of why our representatives luit fighting (or rather never started fight) is shown by the following (notation from your paper: appealing condition confronted the committee when it arrived in the national capitol as public officials were in favor of giving the Bay City unconditional It seems that our committee jumped at the conclusion that San Francisco could force the immediate passage of the bill and al though they were sent to Washington prevent the passage of the bill they withdrew their opposition and contented that the bill be passed That were mistaken is shown by the fact that although they withdrew their opposition and consented to the sassage of the bill it now appears hat the bill is not likely to pass If the bill does not pass at this session i will be due to the efforts of Mr Dennett and the County Board of Trade who made a vigorous fight to keep San Francisco out of the San roaquin valley The Board of Trade committee: Mr Turner Mr Kewin ind Mr Date acted with great iromptness and vigor and through the energy- and zeal of Mr McCabe secured the united action of the entire San Joaquin valley against San Francisco The chamber of commerce of every town from Stockton Bakersfield wired protests to Washington We do not censure our representatives for errors of judgment but we must not be influenced against our own interests by our Tiendlv feeling toward these representatives personally We certainly io not endorse their action and we oust continue to fight for our rights The water of the Tuolumne iongs to this valley and we mu tlnue the fight to keep it We haw never informed Congress as to our conditions but when we do the justice of otir claims will certainly be recognized San Francisco can get her supply from many sources in the Sacramento valley and benefit flood water conditions in that valley Now she is trying to come into a dry val-'fiv that has insufficient water and take a part of what we have If we let San Francisco obtain our reser-oir sites and take 400000000 gallons of water daily out of this valley we will be short of water and the various districts on the Tuolumne watershed will be continually fighting with each other over the use of the water It would be nothing less than a calamity and w-e must prevent it if we can LE HAKE The Tremendous Dramatic Spectacle Standing Solitary and Alone the Culmination of Three Centuries of Dramatic Achievement 150 People A Symphony Orchestra A Dazzling Bewildering Display of Costumes Scenery and Electrical Effects Largest Musical and Dramatic Organization Ever Toured SEATS ON SALE NOW Prices: 1st 18 rows down stars $200 Last 8 $150 1st 3 in balcony $150 next 4 $100 next 2 75c last row 50c Announce iraLLia Municipal Land Co Modesto 834 9th St 5 DIABETES Seattle Wash Arcade Bldg Feb 12 1912 Witter Medical Springs Co Gentlemen: I am more than pleased and satisfied with Witter Medical Springs Water in fact I think so much of its efficiency that I have tried it in one case only because I used it personally It has worked miraculously in my case I have been a sufferer from diabetes In a case of nephritis it has also worked satisfactorily You may publish the above as you deem fit This is the first time that I have ever recommended a water of any kind but I have no hesitancy in praising your product and heartily recommend its virtues to my brother practitioners Signed Dr Inge Dalton Your physician knows of tho wonderful effect by Witter Water Aik him Ask your Special Rates To SAN FRANCISCO ALAMEDA OALKAND BERKELEY SATURDAY AUGUST 2nd Returning TUESDAY AUGUST 5th Fare $295 For Round Trip A Hemphill Agent Modseto LOCAL JOHN RUN Why Not Take Life Easy?
