Bursting storage reservoirs in Colo
RADIO, Pennsylvania and many other
states has caused the destruction OF
millions of dollars worth of property
and thousands of lives. Before putting
Ia a storage reservoir in the mountains
above the Salt River Valley the people
of that section should look carefully
into some other method Of obtaining a
water supply. The bursting of dam
on any of the waterways entering the
Salt River Valley at food time would
mean the destruction OF practically all
the improvements aud the loss OF
thousands of lives. Now, we wish to
call the attention of the people OF
Phenix to the possibility Of getting
water from the Colorado river. This
great waterway traverses mighty
gorge across the whole north part of
Arizona about two hundred miles from
Phenix, from which all necessary water
can readily be obtained. An overflow
dam in this canyon can be put in at
cost Of few hundred thousand dollars
and power generated to pump river
of water onto the nplands, whence 1t
can be run by gravity to the valleys
entering the Salt River. In this way
there could be obtained a world of
water without the risk Of bursting
dams and consequent humiliation of
! the whole country. The people of the
central part of the territory have been
lead to believe the statement of people
that the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
Is from three to eighteen miles wide.
This is untrue. There are places in
the Canyon not over two hundred feet
wide and miles of canyon less than five
hundred feet Ia width. For this state
ment we take no mans word, but know
this to be fact from actual observa-
ton. At the mouth Of the Grand Can
yon tree was carried down by a food
twenty years ago that lodged across
the canyon and when the water reced
ed It formed bridge across the river
twenty feet above the water. We have
heard of big trees in Arizona, but we
will guarantee to say that none OF
them were even three miles in length
In this place the canyon is about two
hundred feet wide, with perpendicular
walls on each side Of the river, opening
onto bench lands few hundred yards
below. North Of Peach Springs there
is place that would be quite suitable
! for a dam site of this character aud VIZ
} would advise the people of Phenix and
! Salt River Valley in general to make ,
, thorough examination of 1t. Besides
, pumping water from the river for irri
: cation purposes there could be gener
J ated electrical power for lighting ant
r. other purposes which power could b.
/. Transmitted to all parts OF the terri
/ tory. From this one item alone mil
lions of revenue could be obtained ant
q by 1t Maricopa county would becom
the richest section OF the universe.

Globe is soori to be electrically
lighted, the generators to be placed on
Salt River, twenty miles away. Globe
Is not the only town In Arizona that
will In future be lighted by power
generated by the rivers of the territory,
as there are many streams capable of
furnishing unlimited power near
severa! large towns, which power will
soon be utilized.

Artesian water has been found at
Adamana, on the line of the Santa Fe
railroad, over in Apache county, and
there is no reason why 1t cannot be
found in other localities In north Ari-
zona. The finding of big bodies Of
water ia this country would open up
to agriculture the richest lands In the
whole territory. In this county there
are millions OF acres OF the richest
lands in the world awaiting reclaima-
ton.

3. H. PlckEN's EXPERIENCE.
Invested $1.5o in a Courier Want Ac
and Saved S298.5O.

1t is not everybody that can save
$29S.50 by the expenditure of $1.5O.
This is what B. H. Picken seems to
have done as will be seen by reading
the following letter to the Courier:
Ed. Courier:
Ottumwa, Iowa, May 8, 1901.
Dear Sir:--I am we'll pleased with
the results of my ad in the want col.
umn of your valuable paper. l sold
my farm for $4,000 at an expense of
S1.50. Have had this property in the
hands of the real estate men for the
past five years. offering from $3.50 to
$500 for its disposal which was readi.
ly accomplished through your paper.
! will state that had about twenty
different letters of inquiry, from all
parts of this state, one from Kansas
and one from Oklahoma.
Yours truly. B. H. Picken.
The Semi-Weekly Courier, with its
guaranteed circulation of over $500
copies each issue, is confidently pre-
scented as the best want medium fol-
reaching the farmers of Iowa that can
be found in the state: The only OBJ
ject in advertising is to secure results
otherwise the expenditure is useless
The Courier gives results, and trial
of the Courier want columns is all that
lis necessary to effectually demon
strate that fact.

MADE A FAST RUN.
Jos. p. Hayes, Former ottumwan,
Makes Good Run,

1t will be of interest to Ottumwa
people to know that former Ottum-,
wan was at the throttle of the train
on the Southern Pacific railway, car
rying Mrs. William Mckinley. the wife
of the President to San Francisco.
This engineer was Joseph P. Hayes,
who formerly made this city his home
for several years, and had passenger
between Ottumwa and Moberly, and
later had the Ottumwa and Des Moines
passenger run. Mr.. Hayes is a st.
Louis boy and is a relative of Presi-
dent Charles NJ. Hayes of the South
err Pacific railway and at one time
President of the Wabash. When
Charles M. Hayes went with the
Southern Pacific he took Joe with
him, who was given run be-
tween San Jose and San Francisco.
When it was decided that Mrs. McKin-
ley was to go over the Southern Paci-
fic from San Jose to San Francisco.
Joe was placed in charge of the engine
and made brilliant run. On one por-
ton of the trip he made a squirt of
forty-nine miles in thirty-eight min
utes. The run was made without in
cident. However nearly all the dec
orations on the engine were lost as
the train sped through the air. This
was probably one of the fastest runs
ever made in the west. The old rail
road men who knew young Hayes
when he used to hold the throttle on
the Wabash into this city, and would
make the run from Bloomfield here
over the Monkey mountains" a dis
lance of % miles in % minutes, have
no hesitancy in believing every word
of the western story.
