REMARKABLE SUIT
For Damages is Filed Against American
District Telegraph Company.
Special to the Leader.

Special TO the Leader.
Columbus, O., April 15.-An unusual
suit has been filed against the Ameri-
can District Telegraph Company, OF
this city, by. Mrs. Cassie Bennett, who
alleges that by the company's failure
to deliver a special delivery letter to
her husband she lost that gentleman
and his financial support
Bennett was a Congregational mini
ster. The pair were the parents of sew
eral children, among them a wayward
son. He got into trouble at Dayton,
and Mrs. Bennett went to help him out.
Her husband refused his assistance, as
he had lost faith in the boy. He wired
her at Dayton and she sent him in re-
turn a special delivery letter, which
was taken for delivery under a special
contract by the A. d. T. Company,
of this city, from the postoffice, but
never reached Bennett. He left the
city, believing that she no longer cared
for him, and she has never been able to
locate him since.
She alleges that she has spent large
sums of money in trying to find him,
and that her damage by reason of the
nondelivery of the letter should be as
sessed at $4,000. The suit is an ur
usual one. inasmuch as the Govern
ment cannot be sued, and it is doubtful
whether a sub-contractor can be.
Blood and skin diseases, indigestion,
constipation, rheumatism, pimples and

A Dry Time in Missouri.

times so dry in the western part of that
state that you would have to soak hog

water enough for coffee"

A Challenge.

The Rev. Father McGrady,o St. An
thongs church, Bellvue, KY, has is
sued challenge to the Rev. Father
Wimsey, of the Cathedral. Cincinnati,
for a debate on the proposition recently
laid down by the latter in sermon on
President Mckinley that socialism
came in for it's share of the blame for
the assassination. In his challenge he
says: SIN denouncing socialism, you are
fighting the very class of people fro m
whom you derive your means of sup
port. 1t is chiefly out of the hard
earned pittance of tolers that you
build costly churches to redeemer
whose most sacred teachings you out
rage"

Shall We Meet Again.

The fiat OF death is memorable. There
is no appeal from the great law which
condemns us to die. We flourish and
fade as the leaves of the forest, and the
flowers that bloom and wither in a day
have no Trailer hold upon life than the
mightiest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his foot steps. Generations
OF men appear and disappear as the
grass, and the multitudes that thrOng
the world today will disappear as sand
on the sea shore. Men seldom think on
the great event OF death until the shad-
ows fall across their own pathway, hid
ing from them the faces of loved ones
whose loving smiles were the sunlight
of their existence. Death is the antag-
onist of life and the cold thought of the
tomb is the skeleton of feasts. We do
not want to go, though the dark pas
sage may lead to paradise; we do not
want Ito lie down in the grave even
with princes as bed fellows. In the
beautiful drama of Ion, the hope of inn
mortality so frequently uttered by the
death-devoted Greek, finds deep re-
spouse in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his life as sacrifice to
fate, his Clemantha asked if they
should meet again, to which he respon-
ded, 81 have asked that dreadful ques-
ton of the hills that look eternal--of
the clear stream that flows forever-of
the stars among whose fields of azure
my raised spirits have walked in glory:
all are dumb, but as gaze upon thy
loving face, feel there is something
in the love that mantles through its
beauty that cannot perish. We shall
meet again, Clemantha. George D.
Prentice,

STRUGGLE WITH THE DESERT

That phase of the question which concerns the lands already acquirei from the government is, of course. of more pressing interest to those who hold property in the territory than Is the broad question of the reclama uon of the public lands. As explained in my former reports. the returns from agriculture under irrigation have beeen so remuneratiVe. even under the most adverse conditions of inadequate water. that capital has been led into the con struction of canals. for which the wat CT normally is not sufficient. and under these canals settlers have acquired lands from the government and have gone ahead cultivating and improving their possessions so far possible. al though in many instances the land lies uncultivated year after year simply be cause there is not water for it.
 The best illustration of the conditions here referred to is seen in Maricopa bounty. the principal agricultural coun- 'ty of the territory. The area of lani which has been settled upon unde- the various canals in Maricopa county will easily aggregate 300.O00 acres. whii- the land actually irrigated each year will not probably amount to more than 13G. .OO0 acres. and for much of this area there is. throughout a long season each year. an insufficient volume of water in the ditches. Contending with this uninViting condition. the agriculturists of the county have made q showing which is really phenomenal Within the county including Phoenix. there is property of an assessed valuation ot approximately Sl0. .0JO. 900. with an ac- tual valuation much greater than that. and 1t can be said that nearly all 0t this wealth has been produced by irri- gation- Not only that. but there is probably not other community in tn. world so uniformly prosperous. Farm CTS. by the score take their families to the seashore and other pleasure resorts in the vacation season. and the agri- cultural population generally lives more comfortably and enjoys more luxuri-s than any other farming people in the United States.

WASTED FLOODS

Recognition of these facts. and of the further fact that annually enough water flows to waste in the floods of the Salt River to fully ifrigate all of the 30O.GO0 acres under the canals if it were stored. and the knowledge that storage would make the Sal River Val ley one of the wealthiest regions ;n the world. have caused the people O: the valley to turn with earnest atten- ton during the past two years to con- sideration of the storage problem As explained in the matter dealing with the progress of irrigation fin the several counties. Maricopa county IS fortunate ly situated in having near a reservoir site in the Tono Basin whicn offers q ready solution of the question. There is no division of sentiment as to the necessity of constructing the reservoir The only douDC is as to the best method of accomplishing success A private corporation having acquired from tha government the necessary rights to the site. has expended a large sum of money in settling the engineering questions involved. and in the effort to safely finance the project.
 The difficulties. however. in the way of obtaining the large capital necessary to the construction of q permanently stable dam have been very great. Tn the first place. any effort to obtain con siderable capital in the money centers of the east for industrial enterprises in Arizona encounters an ignorance of the conditions prevailing in the territory which makes the task q heavy one. !t is all the more difficult to enlist capi- tai for water-storage enterprises OF account of the mass of misinforma tio:i with which the investing public has
Arizona republican., 1901-11-18

been supplied. For instance. the lead . CTS in the propa aganda of "'Government ownership of all irrigation enterprises , of the future have in mistaken zeal in dustriously circulated statements to the effect that no storage enterprise by i'm dividualS private corporations can be made to yield a profit on the invest ment These statements have been based. as I have explained in former re- ports on isolated examples in Califor mia which find no parellel whatever in Arizona. The few reservoirs projects in California and elsewhere which fail ed primarily to yield satisfactory re- turns to stockholders were failures simply because they were carried out without due consideration of the cir
 constance surrounding them. Due attention had not been given to the water supply and the fact that an irri
 gation system for lands vacant at the sarily wait term of years for revenue
 to flow in from the lands to be irri- gated. especially if the lands are given over to slow maturing fruit orchards. Apparently no appreciation of a diff ferent situation in Arizona can b." brought home to those who have so willingly accepted the dictum that all further progress in the irriga ted rt- gions of the west must await appro- priations from the federal treasury. Anybody at all familiar with existing conditions in the Salt River Valley knows that if reservoir were assuerd, every <acre available for cultivat ton under the reservoir would be in tillagr and yielding a revenue the first year in which water was supplied.

from the sale of all lands. mineral and otherwise. within the limits of these reservations. could be assigned by the Indian bureau. A very large amount of money can be saved to the government in this way. In the interests of the ln- dian. to advance his civilization, for the benefit of the country, and because in my judgment it Is the wisest best and most economical policy for the government to pursue, l earnestly recommend that these reservations De thrown open to sale and settlement along the lines I have suggested and under such qualified legislation as will best protect the government and insure to the Indians the maximum benefits to be derived from the disposition of the lands.

APROPOS OF CLOTHES.

A Japanese woman of rank has come to America to study dress reform. 1t is rather odd that women in the Far East should wish to copy our modes. just the western women are com ing to the conclusion that the Japanese have solved the problem of truly artis- tic and comfortable female habiliments. It is a pity for the almond-eyed beau ties of the Flowery Kingdom to vulgar ize themselves by wearing Parisian clothes. Can no one stop the sacrilege, for sacrilege it really seems to be, by convincing the court women of Japan that they would make the mistake of their lives if they should allow their costume to go out of existence?
