NEAR AT HAND
Something Will Be Done Early For
 the Salt River Valley.

The following letter has been re- ceived from Chairman B. A. Fowler of the water storage committee by a friend and a member of the committee. MT. Fowler is now in Washington, where he went after the adjournment of the National Irrigation Congress, to which he had been sent as a delegate. What was accomplished at the con gress is outlined in the letter:
 Washington, Nov. %. 1900.
 q send you herewith a report of progress to be presented at your next regular meeting. Pursuant to your in- structions I attended the National IT. rigation Congress, which conve ned in Chicago from Nov. 21-24. It is suf- fcient now to say that it was an eX- ceedingly interesting and instructive session and I shall hope at an early day to lay before you, in detail, the proceedings of the congress from day to day.
 "The delegates from Salt River val ley were there in number, namely; w. J. Murphy, Pickerell and your repre- sentative. In the organization of the congress. MT. Pickerell was named as
 
 dentials,' MT. Murphy on permanent organization and Mir. Fowler or both resolutions and rules and order of business
 Tn the final election ot officers for the ensuing year, MT. Murphy was elected vice president of the congress for Arizona and Mir. Fowler the Art zona member of the executive coni- mittee.
 Many of the papers read were of great practical value and interest and all were valuable contributions to the irrigation literature of the day Tn attendance was good and there YVES an earnestness in discu ssion which spoke volumes for the strong hold which this great movement already mas on the people of all class-s in the east as well as in the west.
 ''It is said there were fewer cranks and men of one idea, ir attendance upon this congress, thar in any con- gress preceding. Certain it is, there were no unseemly wrangIes. or heated controversies or disputes Of any kind. This is demonstrated by the way in which the report of the committee OH resolutions was unanimously adopted and almost without discussion. On these resolutions the committee worked one night till 2 o'clock a. m. and the next night till near midnight, putting in a few hours in the day time, just for change. But the magnificent recep- ton which the congress accorded these resolutions amply repaid the time and labor spent upon them, brief as they were.
 "I was highly gratified to meet many of my old friends and acquaintances. among the delegates from other stakes, everyone of whom was at once coz nered and enthusiastically enlisted in support of ArizGna's claims.
 ''The congress adjourned on Nov. "A. having appointed d committee, of which l was member, to proceed at once to Washington and present to President Mckinley the resolutions of the irrigation congress, with the re- quest that he refer and recommend to congress in his annual message con- sideration of the question of water storage and reservoirs in our arid lands, as we'll as the preservation of our forests. The president received us cordially and said he fully realized the

The committee appointed yesterday to draft bill for the bonding of the
 county for the purpose
 ANOTHER of securing funds for
 STEP the building of a stor- FORWARD. age reservoir in the
 Salt River valley has finished its labors. They will make their report to the full committee to- day. The draft of the bill may be read in this mornings issue.
 This bill will be introduced in a few days, or weeks. The amount asked for is large and the passing of the bill will be opposed by some on account of its conflict with the Harrison Act, which declares that the bonded in debtedness of a county or territory shall not exceed four per cent of its assessed valuation.
 However, whether it passes or nor, the moral effect of it's introduction and discussion, and the wide advertising the valley will receive thereby will be worth many dollars to US.
 Moreover. it will .pl ovide a basis up- on which we can go before congress seeking federal aid With some hope os success. We prove to congress and the country that we have so much faith in the feasibility and entire prac- ticability of the scheme that we are willing, if there Is no chance of fed eral aid, to task ourselves with this great burden. This act will not in any possible way lessen our chances for securing federal aid. It does not cheapen our right to such aid. It simply shows that we have faith in it ourselves. so much faith that We are ready to back it up With our money.
 On the other hand, the introduction of this act doss not bind the people of the valley in any sense. Bonds can- not be issued without a two-t thirds vote of the taxpayers of qhe county If it is possible to secure a reservoir in any better way the way is still open, and the Republican will be glad. But. if there is no better way, then we can go ahead on this plan. The way will be clear and obstacles removed.
 It is a long Step forward.

There is a decided demand for good orange land today. The demand will increase. Don't be in a hurry about selling. The area of f1rst-class orange land in the valley is limited and can not be increased. When it is known that the Salt River valley holds the of the country for one month there will be very active bull movement. The prospects for our beautiful valley never looked So bright.

thing. To get the best results from hens it is necessary to feed them. They are fond of corn and wheat when small enough not t> hurt their teeth. Pumpkins are good, but it is better to have them cut up or mashed, especially if they are raised in Arizona. Hens are the most economical animals you can raise, except pigs, because they will eat every old thing you won't, and then you can eat the hens.
 But seriously, a hennery, properly conducted on close business principles, pays big money. No time during the year GO the merchants of Phoenix se- cure eggs enough from the farmers to satisfy home consumption. The prices are always satisfactory, the labor light and the capital required small.

Ing Fault with the Government.
London, Jan. 10.-Ths war Office has
not contributed the least particular as
to what ID taking place In Natal since
Sunday. Neither has 1t allowed the
dispatches Of correspondents to get
through. Consequently the facts Of the
situation are replaced by conjectures,
and the impatience Of the public p0urs
itself into 4 discussion Of the conduct
Of the war. and Of what might have
been done or ought now to be done.
A dispatch to The Daily Chronicle,
dated at Frers Camp Sunday afternoon
at 8 o'clock, says There has been no
bombardment Of Ladysmith today, nor
any shSfllng at Chieveley by the Brit
isl guns.
The Daily Mail has the following
dispatch, dated Sunday, from Cape
Town: Dordrecht h now garrisoned
by 1000 rebels, thus releasing the
Orange Free State troops for service
elsewhere.
Great Britain's losses since the war
began are fast approaching 5000. A
war Office compilation Of casualties is
sued last evening shows Q total Of
7,21s-1 OF killed. s,s7b wounded and
ssh missing. These do not include
40 who have succumbed to disease,
nor the casualties at Ladysmith last
Saturday.
The Morning Post demands that the
forces aAeld, afioat and in preparation
shall be increased by 1000 men. To
this end 1t urges that all the trained
men the country possesses, militia and
volunteers, shall be called out, assert
ing incidentally that, although the at
titude of other powers lie correct In the
diplomatic sense Of the word, an In
vasion, II attempted, would be sudden,
and that now is the time to apprehend
contingencies.
The Daily News editorially defines
the public opinion of the continent as
'in a state which should not be ig-
nored." 1t calls for greater vigil
ance than ever on the part OF those
responsible for the ehiciency of the
navy" and urges cautious, circum-
spect and businesslike diplomacy"
The Daily Mail says 1t understands
that the supersesslon of another gen.
eral commanding In South Africa will
shortly be announced. This may have
relation to General Buffers hasty sum-
mons from Davenport. 1t Is reported
that he came by special train to Lon
don yesterday and held long consul
tation with the headquarters staff.
This seems to indicate that his advice,
which only recently was in extreme
disfavor, IL about to be utilized.
The critics range up and down the
entire field of war transactions, finding
fault especially with the lack of tranr-
ports for the troops who are ready to
depart, and with the concealment Of
news, avering that the censorship in
South Africa embraces the mails, that
the reports Of correspondents are be-
ing mutilated and entire letters sup
pressed. ....
The admiralty In seeking transports
ID reported to have chartered the
American liner St. Paul, which was in
spected previous to chartering, and
