laterals built by that unknown race in an
age which is shrouded in mystery.
The moderns are learning, though. The
education came to them, as it comes in
all such cases, after years of experiment,
and now gigantic enterprises have been
launch ed, enterprises which, if completed,
will make of arid Arizona a veritable gar
den spot.
Great progress has been made in this di-
reCtion already, for in his report, submitted
to the Secretary of the Interior few
weeks ago, Governor Hughes says there
are 100000 acres of land in Arizona
capable OF reclamation to agriculture. OF
this 997 900 acres are already under culti-
vation. There are now in course of con-
struction reservoirs and canals which will
reclaim $4,000 acres within the next
two years, and other enterprises con-
template the reclamation of about
$4,000 acres additional. During the
past year particular activity has been
shown in this direction. Legitimate en-
terprises of great magnitude are under
going construction after the most ap-
proved plans, and much costly work is
being done. None of these are as yet COM
pleted-the great difficulty encountered
being want of capital. Money has been
scarce and so many woolly lies have been
told of Arizona that Eastern capitalists
and Western, too, for that matter-are
timid about investing here. Some of the
bitches are delivering water and many are
apparently completed, but all the COM
panles owning them are contemplating

this property will change hands within
the next few months, and if it does the
sale will result in great deal of good for
all OF Southern Arizona.
Other canals in Arizona of which no def
mite information can now be obtained are !:
The South ella, the Florence, the Farmers,
the st. Johns and Mohawk ditches.
Arizona may or may not prove garden
spot. Her future as yet is enveloped in
mystery. She may be a great mining State
when she becomes a State, or she may be
one vast farm. Years ago, before the possi-
bllities of irrigation were known, the idea
of Arizona producing any considerable
amount of agricultural products was an
unsuggested thing by any but the enthusi-
astic editor of the country weekly. The
man from California's fertile valleys
and gold-impregnated sands, or from
passed through and went back and told
stories about the rattlesnakes. the Gila
monster, the bad men, and bones bleach
ing in the deserts, through which both the
transcontinental railroads unfortunately
run. That there was some foundation for
this is admitted.
There were rattlesnakes, bad men, Gila
monsters and bones bleaching in the des-
erts, but there were other things worth
talking about then, and in the last few years
those have grown, increased and multiplied
until now the visitor is very apt to talk of
something else. II he visits the Salt
River Valley, where $12, 100000 has been
spent in irrigation, ne will, for here where

me Juliet would have done. The critics
all noted it. I spoke of it to this great
student, Boston man, and reaching
among his books-for | was supplng In his

where kean, in playing certain part, did
something quite new, and had been de-

turned over several pages. and came to
the account of the acting of another great
man who was reprimanded by the critics
of his day for omitting to do that which
Kean had done. He looked at me and
said: Some people make roads for other

PASSION OF MONEY-GETTING.
Evil of Teaching Boys That Education
Has Only a Commercial Value.

Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, DID,, in
writing of 1.-The Passion OF Money-mak-
ing" in December Ladies' Home Journal
says, concerning the prevalent idea re-
garding the value of an education to boys;
I'VE are considering the effect which is
going to be had upon the boy by being led
to feel that the value of his training
whether it be obtained in business col
lege or in any other kind of college,
is detremintable bv the amount in
cash, stocks and securities in which it may
be expected ultimately to eventuate. That
Is an indirect-but none the less effective
for being indirect-way of telling the boy
that money is SO transcendently grea. a
thing that the only value that anything
else can have is it's efficiency in contrib
uting to that end 1t is an indirect
way of telling him that the only value of
an idea, the only value of mental energy,
the only value of a disciplined brain.
in fact, is its cash value; which amounts
substantially to listing intelligence and
putting it upon the market in mercantile
competition with wheat, leather and rail-
road stock. OF course there is no such in
tention as this on the part of parents when
they hurry their sons into the store or
clearinghouse or on the Exchange, but
the effect Just stated is bound to come and
is damning in its consequences"

Old Territory by Any
Means.
SOME DITCHEs CENTURIES OLD.

Before Cabeza la Baca

Especial correspondence of THE CALL

PHOENIX, ARIz., Dec. 14-Irrigation is
not new. 1t Is not an innovation. Ger
tainly it is not either of these in Arizona,
for from the appearance of the ruined
.casas and bitches built here centuries be-
fore Cabeza la Baca, Espiio and Coronado
wrested this section from the Indians,
Arizona, and especially the Salt River
Vallay, was inhabited by people who
knew all about it and who had lifted this
absolutely essential branch of agriculture
for this section at least-far above the ex-
perimental stage and brought it to its high
est development. The irrigators of to-day
know no more than they, since with all
their machinery and approved methods
they have been unable to improve upon
the construction of the bitches, feeders and
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-15
and are pushing projected

work.
One of the notable improvements
noticed ali along the line is the marked
tendency toward the building of reservoirs.
This is following the example set by the
irrigators of California, but following it
after years had been wasted in expert
ment. The irrigators here could not or did
not learn from California's emineEtly sue
cessful experiment that the only way to be
sure of permanent supply of water was
to build storage basins or reser-
voirs, until the last few years
when their own common-sense told
them to follow their leader. For wears
their methods of delivering water have
been wasteful and extravagant in the ex-
treme, but when the dry bitches and no
visible supply of water confronted them at
a time when water was most needed they
decided that storage basins was the only
successful method, and now storage
basins are il course of construction.
OF all such basins the Hudson reservoir
(projected) is by far the largest. Ground
has been broken, but capital is needed, for
it will cost So 100000 to construct this
basin, which will be when it is finished
the largest of its kind In the world. twill
make a lake twenty-five miles long, two
miles wide and eighty feet deep, thus hav-
ing a capacity of 3,215, ,027, 200 cubic feet of
water. 1t is almost impossible to calculate
bHe amount OI SOOu SuCu UdSlu Will De
capable of doing.
The Aqua Fria, another such concern,
contemplates enormous improvements,
which Will, when finished, irrigate 16O, ,OO0
acres of land. Their projected work, upon
which good deal of labor and capital has
already been expended, contemplates the
construction of three dams. The first one
will be 40 feet high by $40 feet long.
The second is to be 70 feet high by
450 feet long, and the third $50 feet
high by 262 long, the water from
which will be conducted to the arid land
through fifty miles of canal. The esti-
mated cost is $2000,00 But people who
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-15
know say that it will exceed this by many

know say that it will exceed this by many
thousands.
The Rio Verde is another such concern,
and is now building system of reservoirs
which will eventually comprise four stor-
age basins, one diversion dam and 140
miles OF canal, thus making fertile 100000
acres. This com pany is also hampered by
want of capital.
The canals already delivering water and
in full working order are, as taken from a
list compiled especially for THE CALL by
Mr.. Bruce Perley, secretary of the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce, the Arizona canal,
with forty-seven miles of ditch with a
total capacity of $4,000 miners inches, de-
livering water to 100 900 acres of land, only
5000 of which are under cultivation. The
total cost of construction was 81 900, 600.
Improvements costing many thousands
more are contemplated. The Consolidated
has forty miles of ditch, having a total
capacity of $4,000 miners inches, water
ing 100000 acres of land, only
10000 of which are under culti-
vation. Large expenditures of recent
date make it impossible to calculate
the cost of construction. The Grand
canal has 81 miles of ditch, the Highland
% the Maricopa 26. the Salt River 10, the
Tempe 80 the Utah 20, and the Buckeye
is uncalculated, but these seven bitches
water $4,000 acres, all of which vast tract
is under cultivation.
The Gila Bend or Peoria canal is ditch
in the southern portion of the Territory
1t has the largest diversion dam in the
country. This dam is 1913 feet in length
and lifts the water of the river fourteen feet,
forming lake one and half miles wide
and five miles long, delivering water
through forty-one miles of ditch to about
60, 600 acres Of land. Unfortunately the dam
needs repairing and the company is not
