Las Vegas has been quite severely
afflicted with diphtheria. The Optic read :
| quite sensible lecture to the authorities
of that city, demanding that all contagious
and infectious diseases be promptly and
thoroughly quarantned.
Irrigation enterprises in the Rio Grande
valley are not experiments. They are
based upon practical results of hundre Is

San Marcial note: W. J. Murphy, the
builder of the extensive irrigation works
in the Salt river valley in Arizona, now in
successful operation, and who is consid-
cred eminent authority, both on account
OF his success and his ability, recently in
formed the Reporter that he considered
irrigation as capable of unlimited expan-
sion without injury to any existing inter
esfs. This was SAID with especial refer
ence to the Rio Grande valley. The
turning OF the water loose upon the valley
lands makes it grand storage reservoir
and the water finds its way back to the
channel lower down, in some instances
creating springs where none existed be-
fore.
