TURNEY WILL GO
TO WASHINGTON TO HELP
A LONG THE DAM.
of the Chamber of Commerce. to Eff
feet Compromise Acceptable to All
Parties.

The chamber of commerce committee
on irrigation met yesterday morning TO
outline a plan of procedure with re-
gard to the international dam bills
now before congress. The result OF the
meeting was an agreement to request
Senator Turney to go to washington
at once, with instructions to agree to
such compromise as may be necessary
to secure legislation providing for the
construction of the dam.
The board of directors of the cham
ber of commerce also met yesterday to
receive the report from the irrigation
committee as above. The board ap-
proved the recommendation of the
committee and instructed Secretary
Russell to wire Senator Turney at
Austin and Senator Culberson at
Washington of the decision of the
chamber.
Secretary Russell received tele-
gram this morning from Senator Tur-
ney. stating that he would start for
Washington tonight if necessary, but
that he desired to wait until the last
of this week. He asked that data and
instructions be forwarded to him at
Washington ncare of Senator Culber-
son.
The Quarantine.
The board of dicrectors also discuss
ed the quarantine matter at some
length. The fact was brought out and
discussed that the quarantine station
is not fixed at the state line, but at a
point within the city of Ell Paso about
a mile west of the heart of the city;
that is to say. these bubonic plague
subjects. with all the alleged possibil-
tiles of Infection are brought two or
three miles within the state through
the settlement of Towne at the smell
ter. with its 5000 population and kept
within the city limits until they can
be sent beck beyond the borders of the
state Since the quarantine authori-
ties display no consideration for the
interests or wishes of the peopel of
Ell Paso in this matter. the board re-
solved to give the quarantine author
tiles little of their own medicine. A
resolution was therefore passed re-
questing the board of health to quar-
antine against the bubonic plague in
spectors and prevent them from going
back and forth from their homes in
the city to the quarantine station

TO SEE THE SHOW
And EI Paso Will See That
They Want For Nothing
While they Are In
The City.

The four little boys who ran away
from home and beat their way over
700 miles of railroad on freight trains
in order to see the sights of the Car
nival, have been taken in hand by the
Carnival committee and will be made
the mascots of the big show.
They have been placed in comforta-
BILE quarters at the Hotel Spencer and
given a new outfit of clothing through
out by the Carnival association. Mrs.
Spencer is treating them with motherly
kindness.
Yesterday morning o. w. Ballard. of
the firm of FARRELL, Ballard & Co..
took them out to the smelter. and Doc
Ward of the Albers pharmacy paid
their way to the bull fight yesterday
afternoon. They are delighted with
the treatment they are receiving. but
are leary of the press. They say they
do not like newspaper notor1ety and
would not talk to a newspaper man re-
garding their escapade.
1t is the intention of the Carnival
association to give them special atten-
ton and pay them well for their trip
TO see the Carnival by showing it to
them in the fullest extent. 1t has not
bene definitely decided just what hon
ors will be bestowed upon them. but
they will probably be given separate
float in the parade or placed in spe
cial booth by the street side from
which they can view the parade. They
will probably be designated by ban
ners upon which short story of their
adventures will be inscribed.
They have honored the Carnival by
running away from home and under
going the hardships of tramp's life
in order to attend the Carnival and
their honors will be returned as best
the committee knows how. After they
have bene shown all the sights and
having honors bestowed upon them on
every hand, they will be given tickets
for their home return trip and instead
of riding in the ice box of refrigera-
tor car as they did when, coming. they
will return as first class passengers.
The boys are John Jackson. aged 16,
son of a railroad machinist. Billy
Hobbs. aged Is. son of an ex-sheriff.
Willie Baker. aged IA, son of a saloon
man. and Bert Haller. aged 13. son of
a railroad conductor. They are all
small for their ages and the Jackson
boy is especially so. He is the Oldest
of the small quartette but is the small
est. One of the boys explained the
situation thus. You see that scar on
Johnny's head. A horse kicked him
there and stunted his growth. But
Johnny said it was not so. for he was
small to his age before the horse
kicked him.
The boys say they started with a
treasury containing $S and this pro-
vided them with something to eat un-
til they arrived in Ell Paso. then they
went broke. They all look Intelligent.
and in the new suits. selected for them
by Mrs. Spencer. they look very neat.
They say they appreciate the kindness
shown them in Ell Paso and assure
those who are treating them kindly
that it will be no inducement for them
to run away again. for they have learn
ed a lesson that they will never forget.

cANADA's SHIP CANAL,
An English Syndicate Said to be Ready
 to Construct the Work

Montreal May 3.-The surveys for the proposed Georgian Bay. ottawa and Montreal ship canal have been com- pleted from the mouth of the French river to the St. Anne's river near this city. and everything Is in shape for the beginning of the work as soon as the promoters obtain the necessary assist ance from the dominion government.
 Johnston Eagerly and Ernest Sawyer of London. representing the capitalists who have recently acquired the charter from the original promoters. are now in Canada and are preparing a memor- ial which they will present to the gov ernment. setting forth the terms upon which the company Is prepared to do the work. The canal. it Is estimated. can be built for s65 5.000.o .o0o. and if the Canadian government will guarantee a certain percentage of this expenditure, or cooperate in some other way, the canal will be built.
 It io said that the capitalists who financed the Manchester Ship canal, the Delagoa Bay railway and the Amster- dam ship canal. are now behind the scheme and that 1t is being favored by Western American shippers. The pro posed twenty foot canal will be sufii- ciently deep to allow lake vessels from Chicago. Milwaukee, Duluth, Fort Will liam and other ports to go direct to Montreal. Quebec. sydney, Halifax, St Pohn or any other Canadian port and even to cross the ocean.
 When the canal is built grain will be carried. it Is said. at a cost of three cents a bushel from lake ports to the seaports. and this will be a great reduc. ton upon the rate now paid by grair shippers. The difference ein the charges will be about two cents a bushel, and that, 1t is believed, will be more thar sufficient to divert the grain trade. not only from the Buffalo Erie canal route but also from the Mississippi route The proposed canal would mean tht saving of n thousand miles in distance and nearly five days in time betweer Chicago and Liverpool.

FACTS CONCERNING WATER
 STORAGE.


 The Salt River valley. Arizona, pos- sesses great natural advantages as re- gards irrigation and It's highest devel- opment. and is fortunate in having had a class of citizens who early appreci- ated the character Of these advantages, and who by their energy and persever- ance have brought about the present degree Of reclamation. M
 . The material wealth and prosperity which we now enjoy is the concrete re- suItant of this fortunate combination of conditions.
 It is recognized. however, by all who are familiar with existing conditions, that an increased water supply is an absolute necessity before we can have any large gain in either wealth or pop ulation. How to best obtain this addi- tional supply is problem in which every citizen of the valley is interested to a greater or less degree. and the result of this interest during the past winter brought about legislation which made possible the creation of aboard of five water commissioners. whose duty it is to make a careful and comprehen- sive study of the subject during the next two years. By the end Of this period 1t Is expected that the committee will have some definite and tangible proposition to submit to the taxpayers of Maricopa county concerning the construction of storage reservoirs for the impending of our flood waters.
 Tn view of the general interest In this subject. brief review of what has been accomplished along this line In other localities may be acceptable.
 A recent bulletin tNo. 92) issued by the United States department of agri- culture. gives interesting and valuable data concerning the reservoir system oi the Cache La Poudre valley, Colorado It Is written by MT. F. s. Nettleton formerly state engineer of Colorado and e.s much of the information con tainetl therein is pertinent to our situ' ation at the present time. I take tho liberty of including a brief digest ol some of the important points discussed
 The farmers of the Cache La Poudrt valley began to realize in 1890 tha | something must be done to insure themselves later water supply for thu successful growth of their crops of DO tatoes, cabbage and onions. as well a. for the proper cultivation of their or

actly estimated, but 1t certainly cost several thousands of dollars, so Prof. Beecher said today.
 The other specimen of this now ex- tinct animal in Brussels Is not SO com manding by any means as the one in the Peabody museum. In the first place 1t is mounted in a perpendicular posi- ton and does not have. the life-ilke ap- pearance of Xale's. Then the Brussels specimen was dug from coal mine and is therefore blackened, making a grew some exhibit. IN. Y. Sun.
Arizona republican., 1901-05-08


 Total value of potato crops from 1897 potato crops due to storage water from 1897 to 1900 inclusive, $3,0eS,0S?. s
 The above figures are startling in their significance. and 1t seems almost incredible that this system of small reservoirs could give gross returns of nearly nine times the original cost in period of four years
 The experience of the citizens of Cache La Poudre valley should be most useful and encouraging to us at this time, and is strong argument in favor of the impounding of our flood waters. We have magnificent valley, with soil as fertile as could be desired, yielding a variety of products throughout the entire year. Fine reservoir sites (with large drainage areas Din our mountains. one of which has a capacity that is the marvel of all engineers who investigate it (estimated at S00,0O0 acre feeD.. .y The estimated cost per acre foot of otorage capacity of some of the dams reported on is as low as the figures given for the Colorado reservoirs. We have great canals already construoted, which in event of an increased water supply, could bring under cultivation a large additional area of fine lands. and on the whole our conditions are most favorable for the Introduction of stor- age system, -
 It ia to be hoped, therefore, that the ! investigat tions now being carried on by the government in cooperation with | | ultimately result in system of storage | reservoirs on both the Salt and Verde rivers.
