Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola Is at present, and with good reas0n considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- xona. Great changes have been made i'll 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 our present water system there Is nothing like n sufh- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA GRANDR VALLEY CANAL is forty three miles in length and covers 6O 1000 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in- creased A reservoir covering 1900 acres. having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions in the southeast corner Of township 6, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by shortage of water curing n few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con struction of a huge reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com, petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce 1t feasible.

Judge Aylesworth in police court yester-
day morning heard the case of the city
against Attorney L. G.. Scott, charged with
riding his bicycle on the sidewalk. At
torney Scott set up the defense that his
arrest was illegal inasmuch as the city
ordinance which it was charged he had
violated had been omitted when the re-
vised city ordinances were compiled, and
was therefore repealed. Arguments were
made and n number of authorities sub
mitted, and the court took the case under
advisement. The outcome of this case will
be watched with much interest, as there are
others depending on 1t. Ed Crandall OF
the baggage department at the Transfer

DIVIDING THE ROAD FUND
City and County Practically Agree on thu
Proportion of the Cash.
Two-rHlRDs OF IT GOES TO THE COUNCIL
Conference on Friday Night Brings
About nm Understanding which
Will Result I'm the settlement
Of the DifiicuIty.

The conference held Friday night between
the special committee Of the city council,
consisting of Aldermen Sayles, Johnson and
Brough and Colonel W.. +. Baker, chairman
Of the Board Of County Supervisors, will 1t
is confidently expected result in an early
settlement of the controversy between the
city and the county over the expenditure
OF the road fund. At the conference n basis
of division of that part OF the fund raised
from taxation on city property was agreed
upon and now all that remains to bring the
matter to an amicable termination Is the
ratification by the city council Of this agree
ment. That this will be done there seems to
be little doubt as the agreement reached at
the conference Is practically the same propo-
sition as made by the council to the super
visors at the conference held last Tuesday
morning, but which at the time was re-
jected by the supervisors, who held out for
an equal division of the fund.
The settlement agreed upon provides that
the county is to receive one-third of the
money and the city the remaining two
thirds. The one-third that the county gets
Is to be spent on improving the county
roads adjacent to and leading into the city,
the money to be expended under the sole
supervision and direction of Colonel Baker.
The city's two-thirds is to be expended on
TIE Improvement OF streets anu TOduS Wltuln
the corporate limits Of the city under the
direction of the city council and supervision
of the city engineer.
The special committee will report back TO
the council at the meeting next Wednesday
night and as far as could be learned yester-
day there will not be any opposition to the
adoption of the report.
Mayor Jennings is well pleased with the
settlement arrived at and considers it an
equitable adjustment Of the question. Talk
ing of 1t yesterday Mayor Jennings said
THE division of the road fund as agreed
upon by Colonel Baker and the city council
committee is a fair one to both sides. The
improvement of the county roads leading
into the city means much to the business
men and merchants Of Council Bluffs, as
without good roads we cannot possibly ex'
pect to draw the country trade here. OF
the other hand there are other interests tt
be considered in the matter. A large mum
Der of taxpayers in this city who contribute
largely to this county road fund are not il
business and would not be directly benefited
by the improvement of the county roads
but would be by the improvement of tn
streets within the city. AS they contribut
largely to the tax their rights should b
guarded and this the division of the fund a
agreed upon does A
