LAUNCHING OF THE OHIO
Arizona Society Invited to Witness
 Dedication of Battleship.

Mr. Louis ?. McCarty of san Fran cisco arrived in the city yesterday aud will r=main here for several days. Mr McCarty has a two-fo!d object in his trip to Phoenix. He comes in the in- forest of his publication, the Statis- ticiau and Economist. and incidentally te obtain the cooperation of the Ohio society of Arizona with the Ohio so- c'ety of California in the ceremonies surrounding th= launching of the bat tleship Ohio, to occur about ApriI 15, 1901.
 On the 18Th of May, 1899, the frs, rivet was driven in the keel of the 'hi7 at the Union Iron works, San Francisco, and she is now nearing ca,upl tiCn. When launched the Ohio will be more formidable than any waT vessel now flying the American flag Less than two years ago the national heart palpitated with pride in consa quance of the splendid performance of the Oregon in making her voyage cf lS,CGn miles around Cape Horn. In the subsequent destruction of Ad-

Whatever his method of obtaining his goofs, his iEnt 10 tn m remains Il..l"ns :. O", to use anoth-r Illustration: We can buy or hire electric fans to cause a stream of ar to flow through our dwellings CT our places of business, but no charge can be made for the air thus caused to flow. The air Is ire to the use of all, the only charge possible being for the instrument which causes the air to flow.
 But the greatest loss of water in our territory is during hcod asons, when tn streams carry much larger quanti- tlas of water than the canals can di vert. During parts of every year much water passes beyond the headgates of the canals of our valley, and during som seasons a much larger amount of water flows on to the sea than is used for irrigation. This water all be- ing th5 property of the state, whs ther during a flood or at other seasons, it is to the int rest of the state to See that it is prevented from thus flowing away; hence it is a matter Of public interest that our flood waters be stored by the building of reservoirs for that purpOs-.
 The water that has already been ap prnpr;ated by land users is inconsidera- ble compared with the amount that of t5n flows through our streams. Water for about GOO acres, or about POGO second fee,, has been appropriated for use in the valley, and during flood times, as at other times, it would be necessary to let this water flow by stor- age reservoir; but there have been many times during the past few years when over ten tinvs this amount flowed down the Salt River vallzy, and for a time during one year over hun- dred times the amount flowed down. At all such times it is to the interest of the stat that the water thus flowing away be stored for futuTz us5.
 The subject will not warrant an eX- tended discussion of the ways and mans Of providing a storage deservoir. This is a question for financisrs and engineers. I will simply express il as my opinion that the importance of the enterprise demands that io be made a public rather than private on. If uHueFldhtH as pdDl~ OlIISi PA 4FST' whether by tn state, the county, or smaller political unit som government assistance can be counted on, but the government will not be likely to assist private parties.

 But whatever the method of storing water. or whoever stores it, the fact must not be loss sight of that the wa

 The Wyoming law previously men, toned fixes tn minimum amount that land owner may claim for irrigation as one s.cond foot Torty Arizona inch es) for each seventy acres. This max mum is higher. probably, than it need be thers. and is certainly higher than it need be here, judging by the eXperi-nce Of the past fsleen or twenty years. It $ ems to be pretty w-ll agreed among farmers Of this valley that one second foot for each 125 CT 15O acres would ne sufficient or even one second foot for each quart r section. Some time in the no distanl future it will probably be wise to establish a maximum amount that any apprOpriator of water may eX- pect for use upon his land. When the maximum amount is fixed there will still E- greater ed than at present of each irrigator making the best use possible of the water go which he is IT. titi=d.

Tha wa; will still he for the Us If those WlU have no wa ter for their lands.
 To get the best results along tlr, lines discuss |, il is important that we have aditional ar new legislation on the sub j,ct As will be seen by comparing our laws with those ct other western states. they are very god in most r spects as far as they go. They agree with the wis laws of thes. states in many re- spects. They q clare that the water of our streams is public property. to be applied for the purpose of irrigation and mining. They specifically state that all inhabitants of tn territory who possess arable or irrigablz land have the right to divert this water for their needs. IL is also specifically stat ed that he amount to be diverted must corr spond with the amount needed for the irrigation Of land owned, it be- ing evidently contemplat- q that land and water should be inseparable. and
 lastly, that during years of scarcity those having prior appropriations shall have the bitter right to the water.
 But provisions ar needed for the ex- ecution Of these laws and for the equit- able distribution Of tho water. Other states have laws that We would do well tO initiate.
 The first stat uf the union to pass irrigation laws was Colorado, auI though she made many mistakes. and passed some laws which Wcr- found to be unwisc and ncodrG rlpeaIiug and though som. now in force need amend ing. y, on the whole they are just and have prevented much litigation.
 The state Of the union to pass what has proved tp b. the wis st irrigation laws is Wyoming. Coming into the un- ion fifteen y a,s lG-er thal Cobra 10. t was in a position to Profit by her eX- perienCe, and cons quently put into it's constitution wis declarations upon the subject of water, and within year after being admitted to the union pass ed irrigation laws y-la. have proved to work admirably, and have obviatad the litigation which has occurred in many other western states. Nebraska see ing the wisdom of the Wyoming laws, has copi.d them as far as she could and lep within the provisions of her constitution.
 Hon. Elwood Mead. formerly state engineer of Wyomins and now in | charge of the irrigation experiments of the Unit States und r the Giv5 ction | If the department of agriculture. in l eDpa kinr of tbo Ilu-s in tIoe., tNyO sta5sg says: It costs an appruprla tor le7s tn establish his rights to Wa l fer than it dos to prove UT on the land | it fcrtilizes and il i5 done by the same l direct methods. Litigation is conzpic-

u9as for it's absence. either in acquir- ing water-rignts CT in preventing in rfer5nce by subsequent appropriAt1rs with their enjoyment. Tn these two states public control of streams is as much a part of the s.at= government as is control Of public land part of tEe national government.
 When yer rights tp water are regis tered to it's beneficial use, and wh re such Use is followed promptly by the GeteImina,i ,ion of the eTt=nt of such rights, controversies ar as rare as they are over land filings, and where thes= laws begin by prohibiting specu- latiye filings and end with adequate protection for just on s, there are no more contests among farmers who de- p-Ed on rivers. than there are between those who dep nd upon rain. Litiga- tion does not arise because irrigat0rs desire it. IL has its origin either. in ig- norance cf the law or in its imDarfec- ti0ns.''
 It is r port I that Utah proposes fol- lowing the example of Nebraska during the next session of it's legislature and enact stantillIy Wyoming's water laws. When We talk into consid ration tne admirable manner in which these laws have operated in Wyoming and Nebraska, and the small amount Of lit igatton that has followed tn ir enact ment. We can surely see that We can do little if any batter than to enact laws similar to those already lnact in these states.
 We hope soan to become a state, and in the meantime it will volye upon us to frame a constitution. These w;sa declarations of principles contain ed in the Wyoming constitution should
 find a place in ours, and then apprO- priat= laws in accord with the consti- tuition should be enacted. Provisions . neei to Ee made for acquiring and re c2rding titles to water, to pass upon . the equities of =XistinE claims to wa [ r. and for the equitable division of water in the future.
 As Mir. Mead states, there is no law that so dir ctly affects the success Of the ilrigatol. as that defining his right t0 water. He gives as the essen tial things for which every working code of irrigation laws should provide: "Q), An accessible and trustworthy rec ord Of pr liminary filings on streams; @ A e ar definition Of wa-er-rights and a simple. orderly and inexpensive procedure for their determination; () some means of dividing str ans in times of scarcity. in order that the holders of prior rights may be pro teJ-ld.
 It is important tIlt irrigation laws of the west be uniform. By copying the laws of Wyoming and Nebraska the whole west might become united in having common irrigation laws. It is the desire and purposa of each land OWncr tO grow IS much as possible with the water h. receives. The exist ins laws of our t-rritory do not stipu-

When the package arrived at it's destination it was found to contain only $5,O00, in accordance With the re- ord, and now the frugal MT. Eekstein is pondering over what he had better do about it.
