Rio Verde Canal.

The Saturday Beview says: With
i. two weeks Langdon, Linton j.
Co., and Giant & Go. N naeapi lis
and st. Paul firms Of good stand
ing and ample means, will have a
large force here 10 begin work on
the storage dam, diversion dam
and Rio Verde canal, which will
carry the impounded water to a
quarter of a million acres of choice
land in this valley. The canal will
be taken out of the Rio Verde IL
miles above its confluence with the
Salt River, and from that point
extended across the Aqua Fria and
Hassayampa, a distance of one
hundred miles.
This section embraces much fine
fruit land, equal to the best in
Arizona, while the remainder is
better adapted tc grain and alfalfa.
That this company will begin work
is now assured, and that the Com
pletion of the work m"ans more to
Arizona than any other venture
yet talked of, unless it be the. es-
tablishment of the Hudson reser-s
voir, is equally self-evident. Now
that beginning is made, capital
can the more easily be enlisted to
develop the water resources.

Thatcher is to have a tannery.
Work was commenced on the vats
and walls of the building last Mon
day, and A. III. Monte,th, presi-
dent of the company, informs us
that tanning will commence as soon
as cement can be procured to line
the vats with. This enterprise
should be encouraged. We have
plenty of tan-bark and any guam
tity of canaigre with which to CON
vert the hides into leather, and
with these facilities it can be man
ufactured here as cheap as any
where else. Graham Guardian.

A California fruit company has
been lnvestis isating the effect OF ir-
rigation on fruit as regards its
shrinkage when it is dried. 1t
was found rather unexpectedly
that the irrigated fruit had less
shrinkage, and was therefore worth
more in green state than fruit
grown without irrigation. The
conclusion was reached that the
greater amount of water III the soil
enabled the roots to take up more
mineral matter. 1t also enabled
the tree to make more vigorous
growth of leaves, and through
these the air contributed greater
proportion of sacoharine pulp than
was possible with the poorer foliage
Oh the tree that had a deficient
supply of water. There can be no
doubt that the very best quality of
fruit can be grown where just
enough moisture is supplied to the
roots of the tree producing the
fruit, whether the moisture is ap-
piled naturally or arti6cially. Too
much rain or irri CATION or too little
rain or irrig alton affects injuriously
the quality of the fruit. 1t is evil
dent that we are more certain Of
getting the right quantity of water
when it is applied by means OF ir-
rigation bitches than if we depend
on the tickle clouds.

In regard to the rumor that a

Washington dispatch Of March IL,
says: Secretary Smith says that
the application of E, F. Kellner, OF
Phoenix, has been fled for COVER

reached that department against
the present governor, L. G. Hughes
but as yet no action has been taken

it will be aeveral days before the

1t is told of the Rillito canal
project, controlled by Fair and
Fassig, that they have said that
when there is a prospect of their
selling the water to farmers they
will complete the canal. There is
no doubt about land and water
about Tucson being taken, but peo-
pie hereabouts do not buy water
before it is developed. If the gen
tlemen would go ahead and build
their ditch they could find plenty
of sale for their water. But they
wont sell drop before. Pigs and

1t is said that no class OF people
suffer more with rheumatism than
farmers, and yet the remedy for
the dread disease is, or should he,
right at hand. If celery were eat
en- more freely sutf rers from rheu i
matism woull be comparatively
few. It is a mistaken idea that
cold and damp produce the dis e;
they simply develop it. When
celery is eaten largely an alkaline
blood is the result, and where this
exists there can be neither rheu-
Matism nor gout. 1t should be
be eaten not only raw, but cooked.
Gut it into small pieces, and boil
in as little water as possible. Add
to this a little rich milk, thicken
slightly with -four, and season with
butter, pepper and salt. The ten
der leaves and small end of the
stalk, which are usually thrown
away, should be used for soups,
cut fine and use for vegetable soup,
or dry the large leaves, crumble
them to ine powder and use for
seasoning other soups. No part of
the celery noed be wasted. Her

The Pera1fa.Reavis Land
Case.

The Tucson itizen says the
land court opens in the old Com
mercial club rooms on Monday
next. But four judges will be
present, Judge Stone being at the
present time in Spain together with
Special Attorney Mallett Provost.
They have been there about eight
cen months investigating the rec
ords in the Peralta-Reavis case.
The mass of evidence that has been
unearthcd in the matter of altera-
tions, interlineations and substitu-
|ition of records by the fellow Reavis
is simply astounding. His villain :
les have been found on almost ev-
cry page examined, not only in
Spain but in Mexico. The author
tiles of these two countries have
awakened to the stupenduous fraud
that was being sought to be per-
petrated on the peop'. OF the Unit
ed States through Inutllation OF
their national records, and great is
their anxiety to lay hands on tha
notorious wrong doer. Reavis, it
is known, went to Spain once, at
least, and to Mexico repeatedly in
the furtherance of his efforts to rob
Arizona and her people of q prince
ly domain through perjury, subor-
nation, falsiication and destruction
of state and national archives. But
through the good Offices Of the
Land Court his villainies have been
exposed and felon's cell now over
shadows the unblushing rascal.
The case will be tried in Santa Fe,
N. M, June 8, next.
