assah with her needle has done Draver

assah with her needle has done braver
things than Cesar with a sword.
Again our subject illustrates what
religion may be when in a strange
land, or far from home. Hadassah
was a stranger in Shushan. Perhaps
brought up in the quiet OF rural scenes,
she was now surrounded by the dazzle
of city. Heads as strong as hers had
been turned by the transit from coun-
try to city. More than that, she was
in strange land. Yet in that lonli-
ness she kept the Christians integrity,
and was as consistent among the al
lurements of Shushan as among the
kindred of her fathers house.
Perhaps, address some who are now
far away from the home of their faith
ers. You came across the seas. The
sepulchres of your dead are far away.
Whatever may be the comfort and
adornment of your present home, you
can not forget the place of your birth,
though it may have been lowly and
unhonored. You often dream of your
youthful days, and in the silent twi-
light run off to the distant land
and seem to see your forsalSen
home, just as 1t was when your peo-
pie were all alive. Though
you may have hundreds of friends
around you, you often feel that you
are strangers in strange land. God
saw the bitter partings when your
families were scattered He watched
you in the ships cabin foundering
the stormy seas. He knew the be-
wilderment on your Decentralization ON
a strange shore, and your wanderings
up and down this land have been under
an eye that never sleeps, and felt by a
heart that always pities. Stranger, far
fron home, you have companion in
the beautiful Hadassah, as good in Su-
shanas in her native Jerusalem. Indeed,
very Tlany of you arc distant from
the pkice of your nativity. Some of
you may be pilgrims from the warm
/ south, or from harder climes than ours,
from latitudcs of deeper SHOWS and
shgrper frosts. You have come down
in these regions for purposes of thrift
auSi gain. You have brought your
t'ulS anu pibthti NOu
seldom now go back again except to
" isit the old village with wide streets
and plenty of trees, on some holiday.
! This is not the climate in which many
! of you were born. These mothers are
not the neighbors who came to the
old homestead to greet you into
life. These churches are not those
under the shadow of which your
grandfather was buried. These are
not all ministers of Christ who out of
the bapi ismal font sprinkled your baby
brow. Far away the kirk! Far away
the homestead! Far away the town!
Have You formed habits which would
not have seemed right in the places
and times of which we speak? Have
you built an altar in your present
abode? Is the religion of olden time
once planted in your heart come up in
4 gloriols harvest? Is your present
home an eulogy upon that from which
You were transplanted? Then are We
wOrta Y companions of Hadassah, the
stranger as holy in Shushan as in
! Jerusalem.

Water Storage.

facilities for using it that has led
up to the erroneous belief that there
is not sufficient water to irrigate
the Sslt River valley. Were there
three millions of acres of irrigable
under the Gila and Salt rivers, in
stead of a million and half, econ
omy in preserving the water supply
and conducting the precious liquid
to the productive soil, would still
enable every acre of this vast area
to be utilized.
So far no storage capacity has
been supplied, and the lands now
cultivated are watered by means of
canals Or artificial streams taken
from the Gila and Sail rivers and
their tributaries. No great amount
of care or ingenuity has yet been
displayed in abducting these streams
from their natural course and water
is still carried in open bitches where
the loss by EVAPORATION is enormous.
A new era in irrigation in Ari-
zona is dawning, and already sew
eral feasible schemes for impound-
ing water to tide over the season
of drought have been started and
some of them are now we'll under
way.
The most prominent among these
all of which are feasible at no
unusual COSTS the Tonto reser-
voir, at the head of the Box canyon
and at the confluence of Tonto
creek and Salt River, consid erably
i less than one hundred miles north
east of Phoenix. A thorough sur
vey has been made and it is ascer-
tanned that the construction of a
dam across the mouth of the gorge
will enclose reservoir of immense
magnitude. This artificial lake
when enclosed will cover an area
of ll,575 acres with water, and The
capacity will be 100000 acre feet
or sufficient to irrigate an equal
number of acres of land with the
assistan ce of the natural precipita-
ton. An acrefoot of water is
sufficient to cover an acre OF land
one foot deep--an average yearly
irrigation.
Besides the Tonto reservoir there
is the Horseshoe that will soon be
built above Fort Mcdowell on the
Verde river, by the Rio ssVerde
company. This upon initial con-
struction will contain 2Q5,OO0 acre
feet of water and it's capacity can
be increased to 100000 acre-feet.
The Pennsylvania company with
their Cave Creek reservoir will i'm
pound 10000 acre-feet, and the
Aqua Fria or Frog Tanks at least
100000. This company is already
working and the foundation of the
dam is laid in solid masonry. The
Hassayampa has capacity of lOO,-
900 acre-feet and its catchment
basin is the finest in the territory
besides the stream is copious one.
1t will be seen that these reser-
voirs when completed will supply
100000 acre-feet of ) water, an
amount more than ample to irri-
gate the 100000 acres of land
that lie below the box canyons OF
the Gila and Salt rivers, and all
the arabic land under both rivers
IN either side as far as Yuma and
the Colorado river.
There yet remain the waters Of
the Gila river, which were gaugeo
for one year at the Butte canyon

time until the work is done.

The Salt River is more volu-
minous stream and the minimum
fov per year since 1888 has been
100000 acre feet of water while
the maximum was 5000, 900 acre
feet. Thus it will be seen that at
the dryest seasons ample water can
be secured to irrigate for the two
rivers 2,375,000 acres, while the
entire area to be covered is only
100000.
Besides this, the water turned
out at the waterways high up the
river is not all lost by exhalation
and evaporation, and from 80 per
cent to so per cent of all this wa
ter again returns to the channel of
the stream from which it was ta-
ken, reaching there by parcolation
through the porous soil and it is
again on the surface and ready for
use but few miles down the river
below.
AS an example the water at the
Arizona dam may at any tine be
measured and while it is apparent
ly all taken from the river before:
it reaches this city at which point.
the river is frequently dry; but a
few miles below it again rises on
average of 1000 miners inches per
mile and when the Buckeye canal
is reached the accretion from the
the Gila has increased the head of
water until it is again equal to the
flow of the river at the Arizona
dam sixty miles above.
Speaking of the Box Canyon of
the Salt River, here is a section of
Arizona that has but once been
traversed by either civilized or saw
age man. One year ago q survey
ing party that was locating the
Tonto reservoir passed mp this
canyon which they report as second
to none in the grandeur of it's
scenery and the romantic wildness
of the country, the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado alone excepted.
For thirty four miles this canyon
extends through a gorge and the
average width of the opening is
but 200 feet while at one point at
Needles it narrows to 100 feet,
through which the raging torrent
of the river flows. The walls of
the Box canyon are from 500 to
2,285 feet in height, the highest
point being near the Mormon ranc h
or Weavers Needle wash.
It is impossible to describe the
Kaleidoscope display and every
step presents new beauties of ma
ture and wonders of creation Be
tween Alter and Ash creeks which
flow into Box canyon through box
canyons at right angles, is a mag
nifcent temple with a lofty spire
that towers high above the sur
roundings, while castles, pillars and
everything uncommon in nature
are found in profusion. The party
spent four days in going eleven
miles while near the middle Of this
wonderful gorge. They ascended
the river in II foot canvas boat
and during the entire four days
were unable to effect landing as
the water reached from shore to
shore of the perpendicular cliffs.
i Caves of immense magnitude could
be seen 500 feet high on the sides
of the cliffs. From ten to twelve
streams enter the canyon all thro'
box canyons and most of these
streamlets were named by the ex
plorers.
