They never caught more than half

But the State of New Hampshire has
been doing much in recent years to save
the once fruitful fishing grounds for the
people. Any owner of brook may
prevent trespass by "posting" the
stream and announcing through the To-
cal papers that it had been closed
against fishing for three years, or more.

Wall street Reyiew.

New York, March 1.-The stock market
took on no well defined character today
until after lac publication of a state
ment attributed to the secretary of the
navy that the element of Spanish official
responsibility for Maine explosion might
be considered to be eliminated from the
situation. This was in the last hour OF
session and the whole short interest APP
parently rushed to cover the short lines
that have been put out in the last few
days on the developments following the
Maine disaster. There had been covering
OF shorts early in the lay in oontinu-
ance of yesterdays movement but
light later other short selling devel-
oped on the theory that the market would
certainly sag again after the large short
interest had been Increased. The mar
ket had apparently swung to stand
still and was rather aimess without
yielding. buying movement set in on
Long, statement and trading took on the
appearance of a runaway bull mar
ket. The whole list felt the upward
movement to very noticeable extent
and this late bulge added to the very
substantial advance already achieved
makes a showing of very striking gains
ranging from 1 to points in the gen.
eral list and above that in exceptional
cases.

There are worse things than war.
Ignominious peace is more destructive

nation of free people as it threatens
to do to-day, there is more cause for

Arizona republican., 1898-12-13

Hhe meeting called by Aaron Gold berg for the consideration of plans for water storage was held at the assem- bly, room at o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. It was attended by many of the most progressive ranchmen about Phoenix, and nearly all who are inti- ms.ely interested in any of the canal systems. Among the latter were MT. ". w. Miller of New York, who was brought here on business connected with the reorganization of the Arizona Canal company, and MT Henry H. Man, vice-president of the Hudson Reservoir and Canal company. The meeting, as was expected, resulted in nothing more than an agreement to take the first step toward securing water storage for the valley. That was a great deal and considerably more than had ever been done before.
 There were Q grea- many addresses and while there was 10 wide difference of opinion, there was absolute agree ment on only one thing, that an in creased amount of water is indispensa- fble to any further profitable farming in the valley. There was, as there all ways is in meetings of this kind, 8 great deal of talk which had little or Ano bearing upon the subject in hand, Rut there was enough other sensible
 ed earnest talk to leave ! hope that
 od will result Professor F. A. Gull
 was made chairman ofthe meeting,
 hd MT J. W. Woolf secretary. MT. EUldber&was asked to state the pur- Sse Q. e. meeting. He did so briefly

 Disqualification of sentiment which Dbuld in some way--force or bring I,f tod several courses that might be followed, bne of which was the appointment by Ithe legislature of a commission to go Ito Washington and endeavor to secure either governmental aid in the con- struction of a reservoir, or 9 cessiOn by the government to the territory of the lands in the valley so that they might be bonded by the territory to se- cure funds for the construction of reservoir.
 Thomas Boyle, who has given sev- eral years consideration to the con struotion of a reservoir in the valley, was next called to the floor. MT. Boyle read some correspondence between himself and the engineer of the hydro graphic survey, in which he was asked his views on water storage. He sub mitted to the secretary without read ing. copies Of his replies to the inquiry
 Chairman Gulley delivered a brief address in which he advised ceaseless work for water storage along the most practical line that might be suggested. The time, he said, had never been so propitious as now.
 MT Kellner believed that a dam could not be made safe and favored tho construction of a chain of reser- voirs on the desert. The Arizona canal reservoir, he said, was capable of ex- tension and was so admirably situated that it could be so increased or added to by other reservoirs that it could furnish ample water in the dryest

LABOR SCARE IN MEXICO
The Railroads Complain of inc Labor
 Market.

"The scarcity of labor all over the re- public is becoming a serious question to the railroad companies that are building new lines and extending old ones, and the contractors are getting very anxious, as there is no relief in sight, says the Mexican Financier. All the roads in the republic are com plaining of the scarcity of labor, and one CT two have been compelled to stop work completely, as they had no men to go on with construction. The In ternational IS feeling the scarcity in marked degree, and work Cn their branch to Monterey is being greatly delayed. The National is also experi- .encing difficulty in securing men on it's Uruapan extension, and the Central cannot get enough men for it's Tampico division, which is undergoing extensive repairs and bettermen.s. The average amount peT day paid for men is 75 cents, though in a number of places $1 per day is offered and paid whenever

ley from the mountains. We have es-
 timated the quantity of water neces-
 sary for the valley, and the reservoir
 will always be full for we will not make it too large. There are 6,OO0 square
 miles of watershed above this site,
 without taking into consideration the
 watershed of the upper Verde valley, which is equally large.
 ''In Spain there is a masonry dam
 100 years old which has been in con stant use all those years. In the Nile valley Of Egypt they were irrigating at the time of Moses" continued the
 speaker. Did the candle go out?" some one asked in the assembly, which
 MT. Man made no effort 10 explain. They have just begun to build raser- voirs there, and the government has appropriated $20,000,000 for the first one.
 we have not solved certain prob lens in regard to irrigation. We know that the truth Of storage is that it gives you the water when it is most needed. Tie reservoir proposition should be worked in consort with the canals and the ranchers. The good name of the Salt River valley is enough to build a reservoir, but whether it will be a successful business venture rests with the rancheTs-whether they will quarrel with the projectors or not. If Mr. Murphy has not convinced you that Uncle Sam cannot be looked to for aid, I do not think it is of any use for me to try to. You will not get any thing without paying for it, and the question is simply one of whether you will buy water rights when the reser- voir is built.''
 Mir J. K Doolittle of the Rio Verde enterprise followed MT. Man. He said that he felt that if the farmers wanted a reservoir built they could have it, but in order 10 attain that end it meant a long pull and 8 pull all together Every acre of land in the valley will be worth double it's present value with the construction of a res ervoir," said he But" said MT Doo- little, mo corporation will build a res eryoir without first having the assur- ance Of the support of the consumer of water"
 Mir. D. F. Kellner saked the chairman to appoint a committee to take the work in charge Of promoting the mat ter, to arrange for meetings in the val ley at least once week "and do some thing at every meeting which will ad- vance the storage project." A general meeting will be held at which plans will be formulated to submit to the legislature. Chairman Gulley appoint ed the following committee: Gov ernor N. o. Murphy, chairman; Lincoln Fowler, A. Goldberg, MT. Woolsey, Thomas Boyle, M. V. Warren, J. W. Wcclf, H. w Adams, R. E. Daggs. Chaplain Scott, J. D. M2rler and H. G. Van Forsep.
 W. J. Murphy wanted a protest sent to the secretary of the interior in re- ttn tho sheepmen are trying to get re- pealed. He suggested a strong resolu- tion urging that the law be allowed to stand. The chairman appointed con- mittee composed of J T. Priest, R. E. Daggs and F. A. Gully to take the mat ter in hand and prepare a resolution. Mir. KellIer objected 10 any action by the assembly in regard to the matter Mr. Murphy thought that the irriga- ton interests of the valley demanded the preservation of the forests.

DRAFT OF VEHICLES.
Methods of Harvesting a Horse SO
as to Get the Best Result De-
scribed by Prof. EdgertOp.

Prof. j. j. Edgerton, of the Iowa ag-
ricultural college, has been making a
special study of the methods for har-
Messing a horse so as to get the best re-
suits. 1t is an old and popular idea, he
says, that loaded wagon will draw
easier when the greater part of the load
is placed over the front wheels. As
rule, the horse will do his work more
easily if he is placed near it; there be-
ing less lost motion. The driver also
will be able to keep his operati tions more
completely under his control In the
case just cited the opposite of the gen.
eral supposition is true. This is due to
a difference in the size of the fore and
hind wheels. The surface over which
load is drawn being more or less thick
ly set with obstacles over which the
wheels must pass, it stands to reason
that a wheel with a diameter of five feet
will be much more easily raised over a
given obstacle than will one of four
feet; the leverage being so much great
er in the first case. If we suppose the
load brought to a curbstone six inches
in height, over which 1t must be raised,
the load on the fivefoot wheels will be
brought over one-third easier than an
equal load on the four-foot wheels, be-
cause the leverage in the first case is
one-third greater. 1t must not be sup
posed, however, that the present ten
dency toward low-wheeled wagons is a
move altogether in the wrong direction,
for the greater width of tire preventing
the wheel from sinking so deeply into
soft ground, lessening the height to
which the load must be lifted, helps to
counterbalance the evil tendency

FIRE BLIGHT IN PEARS.
A Disease That Has Done More DAM
age to Growers Than All other
Affections Combined.

Bulletin 145, Cornell university ex-
pertinent station, Ithica, n. Y, gives
some valuable information concerning
that most pestilent disease, fire Blight
in pears, which has done more damage
TO pear growers than all the other af-
flictions combined.
Fire blight has been known in this
country for century, but was ascribed
to a great many different causes until
Prof. j. Il. Burrill, of the University of
Illinois, took the matter up and discov-
cred that it was due to the work of bac-
terra, which reproduce themselves in the
cambium or new wood growth that
forms between the bark and wood each
year. This growth is soft and full of
sap, and is exactly adapted to the re-
production of the bacteria-proGuc ucing
the blight. Here it increases very rap
idly, extending it's field from cell to cell
and absorbing the nutrient juices of
the tree to such an extent that the
branches infected finally succuEb to
their attacks, the foliage showing this
condition by turning brown as if burned
by intense heat.
The only remedy is the heroic one of
excision, and the knife and saw should
be used at any time when the disease
manifests itself. Cut the affected
branches off and burn them, and be sure
to cut them far enough below the WIS.,
ible effects to cut out any part that
may be infected in the slightest de-
gree.
1t has been found that no pear tree is
safe from the attacks of these bacteria,
although some are sold as blight proof.
If the affected branches are cut away as
soon as the disease shows and a careful
watch is kept all through the summer
to keep the disease from spreading, il
will often be stamped out in single
season
