since held a commanding position in the
world of finance. Their standing cannot
be questioned.
Mr.. Woltmann camo to Los Angeles for
the express purpose Of submitting the
plans of his clients to the city council, and
will remain here until that body acts upon
it. He talks freely regarding the plan, and
IS not averse to giving its general outlines.
1t is OF course impossible to give all the
details at present. This is what Mr.. Volt
mann had to say:
ANY impression or report that Kessler
& Co. are merely acting as dummy for
the old water company is absolutely not
worthy of serious consideration. They are
not capable of playing such part. If they
get the works the people can count abso-
lutely on there being complete reorgani-
zation of the corporation. and that not one
of the present stockholders or officials Of
the company will be continued. 1 do not
say this out of any personal feeling, for the
members OF the company have treated me
with the greatest kindness; but we are
simply making a business proposal. If we
get 1t we will want our own men in charge,

This is no sudden idea on the part of my
principals I came out here in 1892 first and
tried to negotiate with the concern, but
then 1t was impossible to DO anything. l
have since then made three trips here and
three to Europe in working up the matter
and last week the senior member Of the
firm, r. e. F. Flinsch, came here and made
a thorough inspection of the property and
looked into all of the legal details. AS q
result the plan we offered the city was
drafted and submitted. We are not here
with two or more plans. We have said
what we will do and will abide by 1t. The
firm has great faith in this city and were
led to this matter by the fact Of their hav.
ing other interests here. some of them very
extensive, such as the Traction railway
which they are interested in.
"If we succeed we will give the city q
broad gauge management and will spend
between three and four million dollars ir

He Warned Gould Of the Cost

Paul Gore, now clerk at the Auditorium

cific for several years. He tells story in
connection with Jay Goulds first visit to
Chicago. Mr.. Gould had registered at the
Grand Pacific and was standing in the lob

looking like countryman in town. The
little millionaire approached J. P. Vidal
who was clerk at the house. and modestly
asked him what would be the best way for
him to go to Lincoln park. Vidal, not

necessary instructions as to street cars,

Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grnnde aad Ar izola is ut present, and with good reason considered ono of the most desirable portions aftlis magnificent Southern Ari- zona. Great changes have been made III the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under oar present water system there is nothing like a suil- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL is forty-three miles in length and covers 60 000 acres of land, about 1000 Of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. A reservoir covering f,590 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal lons in the southeast corner of township t range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below 1t, but those above suffer by shortage of water during a few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of huge reservoir at the Bnttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com potent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

and also referred to the war. He said
that democrats had no special fault to
find with the administration. In time
of war there is no party, and SO when
the call was sounded the youth respon-
ded, not republicans and democrats,
but Americans.
After our noble battleship had been
in the harbor of Havana, where Span
ish pilots had guided her, and had been
blown into eternity, MIR. Walker stated
that the blowing UP of the Maine was
an accident. 1t is our duty to show
foreign governments that such acct
dents will not be tolerated by the Am
erican people. (Applause.)
And then the war. Why, our volun-
teers had not been in Cuba three weeks
when they were starving. Supplies
reached Santiago the day before the
boys were sent away. No medicines
were sent to Them but after them.
(Applause). No one can tell us that
there was no neglect or that the war
was properly carried On by the admin
stration. The matter is now being
investigated, and I understand that
since the board began its work, the
prices of lime and wash brushes have
gone up. The people cried for Ayers
