Employees Present Their Case TO Pres
ident Clark.
OMAHA, March l9.-The Union Pacific
wage schedule conference was resumed
this morning, the engineers presenting
their case to President Clark, meantime
the telegraphers conferring with Superin-
tendent of Telegraph Korty on the ques-
ton OF compensation Tor overtime. Little
progress was made by the engineers be-
fore the noon adjournment. 1t is thought
they will occupy several days hearing.
Immediately after assembling this af-
ternoon the operators proposed 10 Mr..
horty that stenographer be called in.
the differences existing be noted and the
conference be dropped. To this Mr.. korty
demurred. The operators pointed out the
tutility OF proceeding, showing that not
single point had been agreed upon. but
MIR. korty insisted on going ahead. Some
discussion followed, and the conference
agreed TO abandon the rules and regula-
tlons consideration fer the time, and take
up the wage schedule. They began the
work, station by station, commencing at
Council Bluffs, and when adjournment
was taken this evening they mad got as
far as Lexington, Neb At this time the
operators had made two concessions and
the company had made none.
during the afternoon the engineers en-
| tertained Mr.. Dickinson in the presence
or Mr.. Clark. putting the general man
ager III hole on the overtime question.
Dickinson conceded that the engineers of
the last mail were entitled to extra pay.
The engineers asserted that men on slow
trains who are willing TO make fast time,
and could not on account Of the COM
pany'S fault, should also be allowed extra
pay. This matter is as yet unsettled.
The afternoon closed with the cost of
engine and mileage on different roads un-
der discussion. The engineers have one
set OF tables and Dickinson another, and
each side insists that its tables arescorrect.
After the adjournment the engineers de-
clded that an agreement was apparently
out OF the question. They do not hope to
come together on the rules and regula-
tlons at any point.

Several Mishaps on the Idaho Division
of the Union Pacific.

OF Uno union racine.
SALT LAKE (Utah), March 10. A
special to the Tribune from Nampa,
Idaho. says the record of the Idaho di-
vision of the Union Iacific road for the
past week has been of floods and wash
outs. No trains have been able to get
through since Monday. one week ago. but
arrangements are now completed for
transferring at Owybee, twenty miles
east of here, tomorrow. The first delay
was caused by a landslide near Mountain
Home. Three tramps were dilled and
the engineer injured. Great damage was
then done by breaking of Orchard irri-
CATION dam. The wreck of freight train
at Huntington and another flood be-
tween Shoshone and Pocatello completes
the mishaps. The great amount or snow i'll
the mountains, and a chinook wind has
made it impossible for stages to reach
Silver City or Idaho City for several days.

Mesa free press., 1894-12-21

The golden opportunity for Mesa
is now here and awaits the decision
of our people. The extension OF
the North and South road to Mesa
would mean thousands of dollars
to every property owner and resi-
dent. It would mean general,
active forward movement in the
upbuilding Of this country and the
development of its unlimited re-
sources. 1t would mean the i'm
mediate increase thousand fold
of the productions of the imperial
mesa, and q guarantee of an im-
mediate market for those products
at good prices and competitive
rates. It would mean the acces-
sion Of thousands of people upon
the broad and fertile acres OF the
mesa and the almost instantaneous
doubling of the business and popu-
lation Of our town. In a word it
would mean prosperity in its
broadest sense = prosperity to
everybody, and the general and
rapid npbuilding of town and
county. Let every man join with
the other to encourage this most
desirable consummation. Let us
not allow this one opportunity to
pass unimproved.

IT does begin to look now as
though statehood for Arizona was
near at hand. To every Arizonian
we presume, this is a consumma-
tion devoutedly to be wished. The
Senate caucus a few days ago
agreed to pass the Arizona state
hood bill early in January. State :
hood, it is claimed, will bring many
blessings to the territory that we
cannot otherwise enjoy. The new
state would receive from the gov
ernment large donations of lands
for reservoir purposes, school pur-
poses, the university, ,normal school,
asylum, prison, public buildings,
ETC., lands that will prove to be
worth thousands of dollars and
which when reduced to profitable
condition will not only support the
various institutions. but will yield
a steady yearly income besides.
All these institutions are now
supported by a direct territorial
tax upon the people. The admis-
sion to statehood and donation and
bonding or utilization of these
lands would result in the reduction
of taxes to a large extent, var
iously estimated at from fifty to
seventy-fve per cent. A state
organization, economically and
judicialiy administered, will be a
boon to the people and there will
be general rejoicing when the old,
well worn swaddling clothes are
removed from our old infant ter
ritory.

STORAGE reservoirs in Arizona
means the reclamation of millions
OF acres of as fine land as there is
on the Pacific Coast. There are
many reservoir schemes in the ter
rleory, and it is safe to say that the
majority of them, at least, are
feasible. It sometimes requires
time to focus these enterprises no
matter how feasible they may be.
1t often happens that the most
feasible enterprises of this kind
find great difficulties to overcome,
principally in a financial way, be-
fore they finally are enabled to
push on to successful censumma-
tion. The Verde reservoir and
canal proposition is an enterprise
that, if carried to successful ter
mination would reclaim an empire
of magnificent soil. It is said to
be altogether practicable, and it is
to be hoped it will push the con-
struction of it's dams and canals.
But the most gigantic enterprise of
this kind in arid America, and one
which would be most far-reaching
in the empire of fertile soil that it
would reclaim is the Hudson reser-
voir scheme. No longer ago than
a year this scheme was considered
by most people as mere chimera-
proposition of only an ephemeral
existence. But many who held to
that opinion have met with radi-
cal change Of heart. No one denies
but that the scheme is feasible; and
most people are beginning to be-
lieve that the Company means bust.
ness. The preliminary surveys
were made over a year ago and
we're thoroughly made, too, so that
no doubt can exist about the entire
practicability of the enterprise
Judge Wells Hendershott, the
originstor of the proposition, has
been in New York during the last
summer and has returned te
Phoenix with capitalists whom he
has interested and who propose tc
take hold of the matter at once
and push it to completion. Over
81, 900 of the old Indebtedness O
the company has been paid OF
since the Judges return, and activ'
work, it is announced will begin al
once. While this is a gigantic
enterprise, there is not one ir
America today that offers q better
field for the investment of capital
This great system will reclaim owe
a million and half acres of as fine
land as there is in America. We
believe that the Company is OF
deck for business, ,and if SO, Southern
Arizona will experience thrill ot
progressive development such al
no other enterprise could give to it

Destiny or Accilent-wh,c,. 3

There is curious incident in the early
history of Oliver and Mercer Counties
worth noting. The origtaal red inhabl-
tants of Oliver County as far back as any
authentic history can be traced was u
tribe of stalwarts called the AnahawaYs,
or Black Moccasins. Among the wood
choppers following that calling on the
Missouri in 1880, within the present bounds
of the above named counties was young
man named Eugene Farley, but more gen.
orally known as "Lawyer" Farley, not
40 much for his Blackstonian studies as
his penchant for racy arguments on dry
sub iects. The Lawyer became interested
in the Black Moccasins tribes history and
found out to his satisfaction that their
original home was the present ruins at
the head of Pretty Point, SO called, in d
coulee named by the first settlers the
Anahavay or Missouri coulee. Here the
Black Mocasins were almost exterpinated
one hundred aud twenty years ago
by the victorious bands of confederated
Sioux and the remnant OF the vanquished
made their way to the friendly Gros Ven
tres on Knife River, whore they built a
small village near the mouth of that r,yer
and remained until exterminated by small
:pox, forty years later. Farley, having his
land rights, conceived the idea of making
a pre-empiion right on the first village
and . homestead on the last village which
