WATERWAYS OF ARIZONA.
Mnrvels of Engineering Skill Cut Out OF
Many Feet of Solid Rock.

Marvels of Engineering Skill Cut Out of
Many Feet of Solid Rock.
The largest and likewise the best
preserved of the waterways was taken
out of the Salt river, on the south side,
near the mouth of the Verde, and. as
described by the Californian, is a mar
vel OF engineering skill. For three
and onc-half miles it passes through an
artificial gorge in the Superstition
mountains. cut out of the solid rock to
the depth of one hundred feet. After
the mountains are passed it divides
into four branches, the longest of
which measures more than forty miles,
while all four aggregate n length of
one hundred and twenty miles, inde-
pendent of the smaller bitches bv
which water was distributed over the
Soil. Except in rare instances these
smaller bitches have been filled. and
in that portion of the desert are OBJ
scured by the sandstorms that prevail;
out the larger one is perfectly distinct,
and measures siXty-four feet in width
with an average depth of twelve feet.
Through this way the water for the
support of the cities between the Salt
and ella rivers was conveyed, and one
thousand six hundred square miles of
country, now destitute of all vegeta-
tlon except the Sahuara and an occa-
slonai paloverde, was irrigated by it.
This canal reached to within short
distance of the Gila river, and tn.
water was taken from the river Salt
for the apparent reason that at this
point the north bank of the ella was
SO high that they were unable to reach
the current with a canal, and they evil
IDENTIFY knew of no way to raise the
water to the level of the surrounding
country. This part of the desert is
covered with ruins, and must have
been st one time the residence of q
teeming population.

Metallic Tin on Clnth.

A new process, invented in Germany,
allows brilliant and flexible stratum
of tin to be deposited upon cotton fiber.
a paste is first made of the powdered
zinc of commerce and white of egg and
spread on the material by means of a
brush. This is then coagulated after
drying by a current Of superheated
steam and the tissue is then introduced
into bath Of perchloride of tin. Tho
metal precipitates on the zinc in fine
ly divided state and after rinsing AMI
drying the cloth it is passed through
cylinders or calendcrs, which give bril-.
lance to the coat Of tin. Beautiful
metallic designs may be obtained IL
this way. 1t Is rtntel THAT The brocns'

"OH, LET US STAY"
The Cry of the Students in Every
Deparfmeuf


DIR. Cogswell buiIded even better than he
knew when he founded tie industrial
school which now bears his name. There
is no other institution of its kind west of
St Louis, and that there is broad, useful
field for such school in this State is
abuudantly proved either by visit to the
institution itself. or by considering the
large number Of applicants for admission
thereto each year.
Students attend the Cogswell school
from all parts of the State. Those who
graduate from it are eligible to enter the
universities or fitted to enter some useful
occupation.
''And IL we are shut out now" saw the
members of the middle and junior classes,
st will change our whole lives, for no.
where else IN this State can we obtain the
same course Of instruction. The high
schools are not available unless we are
able to commence our studies all over
again"
And this Is true. every word of il. In the
high schools and academies where pre-
paratory course for the universities may
be obtained the studies are OF an entirely
different nature, being more literary and
theoretical and far less practical.
To shut out the juniors and middle class
scholars now will mean to many the de-
prIyailon OF a university education.
The students themselves are very anx-
ious to complete their studies. They are
hugely Interested in the work before them.
A CALL man who visited the Cogswell
School yesterday during the noon recess
talked with many OF the students of both
sexes aud found them unanimous in their
desire to be permitted to finish their
studies.
Emma Waidreff, who sis in the middle
class, said she was taking the scientific

The father said his son devoted ALI his

o'clock in the morning to enable him to
pursue his studies at CogswelPs without

Mr.. Gibbs thinks the school will not be
closed, as the property belongs to the city,
and it will be the Mayors duty to see that
It is opened.

One remedy widely proposed is for Dr.

the city and county, when it would fall
under the charge Of the Board Of Educa-

DR.. Charles A. Clinton of the Board of
Education said that he would favor the
city's taking control of tile Polytechnic
School II the trustees could not furnish
funds for its continuance, on one cOnti-
tion-Dr. Cogswell would have to retire
entirely from the management.
THE teachers should be appointed by
the board" said the doctor The curri-
culum should also be under our control.
If DR.. Cogswell would not grant this | feel
sure the board would not touch the
school"
Principal Merrill Of the Cogswell College
stated yesterday that as he is acting under
instructions from the trustees, he preferred
to say nothing about the management of
the school.
He admitted, however, that the old board
Of trustees had intended to maintain the
school with the present funds, and seemed
to have ample funds for that purpose, and
he knew of no reason why the present
board could not do the same If they were
so disposed. lie would regret seeing the
school closed, and at the proper time would
give the students and parents every posi-
bic assistance in preventing such catas-
trophe. During the five years that he has
been employed there he has contributed
all in his power toward making the insti-
tuition useful and successful.
The pupils themselves are so thoroughly
aroused that they held meeting on Fri
day, and the following day appealed to
THE CALL through a committee of five
young men.
THE CALL presented the views OF the
pupils in yesterdays issue, and the many
families interested expressed themselves
Yesterday as warmly appreciative Of the
help given them by The CALL.

DONAGHUE IS DEAD.

Attorneys.

Another important actor In the Blythe
drama passed away on Sunday evening
last in the person of John Donague. attor-

Mr.. Donague first practised law in Lon
don, England. and on coming to this city
in the interest of the Savage heirs and be-
coming citizen, was admitted to practice.
On the resuming of the argument in
favor Of new trial before Judge Coffey
yesterday, Attorney S. w. Holiday, rep
resenting the gypsy Blythes, rose and
formally announced the death of John
Donague. Mr.. Holiday touched c0urte-
ously upon the deceased's honorable career
both before the English and Amer can
courts and stated that Mr.. Donague had

Sunday evening when lie was seized with
an apoplectic fit, from which death soon
resulted. On conclusion of Mr. HOlladay's
memorial address the hearing was pro-

The three Ashcroft chidren-Percy,
Rosie and James-were brought up and
examined briefly. Attorney Holiday took
them to a photogra pher yesterday morning

Dr. Cogswell and his five trustees say
they will close the college on May 81 next

students working there.

There are several good reasons for be-

One reason is the opening paragraph,

young man Of % years, swallowed a
spoonful of solution of potash From
that day until last Wednesday not a
single mouthful Of solid food passed
his lips, for the powerful stuff
he swallowed formed structures in his
throat and stomach, and nearly
cost him his life. His vitality has been
kept up by the use OF liquid food alone.
His parents tried skilled physicians of
all schools Of medicine, but all agreed
that he was doomed to pass through
life without swallowing anything solid.
He travelled for a time as an attrac-
ton in u museum, and while in Chica-
60 medical men became interested in
his case. lie was placed in the Ger
mania hospital in that city last fall,
and underwent treatment which proved
successful in restoring him to perfect
health, and last Wednesday, for the
first time in twelve years, he dined on
meat and potatoes, the food passing
