1t is reported that the engineers
of the geological survey, now at
work at the Bulls Head, on the
Colorado river, will report that a
dam one hundred feet in hight can
he built to raise the waters of that
great stream to the hight necessary
for irrigation and electrical pur-
poses. The building of this dam
would he one of the greatest feats
undertaken 10y the government in
the United States and would make
of the Colorado river valley the
richest spot on the American con.
tin mt. Power for mining, milling,
railroads and all other purposes
could be generated by the falls
created by the dam, while at the
same time water to irrigate the
255, 900 acres of land could be car
ried around the high lands and
distributed to the farmers through
the valley telow in quantities suf.
ficient for all purposes A project
OF this kind is necessity in Mo
have county and would at once
bring it TO the front as an agricul-
tural region second to none in the
terri ory. The government can
here demonstrate the great value of
the inland rivers for irrigation pur-
poses We believe that waen the
survey party makes an investiga-
ton of the Grand Canyon of the
! Colorado river in this county a re-
port will be made recommending
that great dam be constructed
therein which will generate power
sufficient to carry water to the apex
of Yampli summit, whence it can
be carried by gravity to all parts of
the territory. A dam in the canvon
will he no menace to the people
living below it, but the building of
storage dams will always endanger
the lives of the residents of the
valleys, as should one give way
few Of those living in the low lands
will ever be able to get away. The
Colorado river is the natural source
of water supply for the territory of
Arizona and it will be but short
time until this matter is clearly
proven to the people of all sections
There are points in the Grand Can.
yon where dam can be put in for
less than l,00O,000$ and the ma
chlnery to pump water to any hight
can be installed for less than that
sum. OF course, it will take large
sum of money to carry a canal the
several hundred miles necessary to
reach the Salt River and other ir-
rigable valleys of the central part
of the territory, but when completed
it would require little expenditure
to keep it in repair and the advan-
tages to be gained over the storage
reservoir is incalculable. Instead
of spending millions on the storage
of water the Salt River Valley peo-
pie should look into the Grand Can.
yon and note the great water sup
ply that can be had by little hus-
tie and that will give them a never.
falling supply.

HOW TO SET our SHRUBS.
Some Valuable Pointers For Anna
tear Gardeners,

teHr Gardeners.
AS soon as the ground is dry enougb
TO be dug with ease trees and shrubs
may be removed. Plant them as early
as possible In.Order that they may Sc
-cure.a good root hold before the try
ing times Of drought and. heat come.
But take your time to plant each one,
for upon the care taken In transplant
ing depend much of the future satis-
faction and success. says Country Life
This caretaking is OF two kinds--that
which has to do with the preparation
Of the soil and that associated with
the manipulation OF the tree itself.
The richer and mellower the soil the
more likely is the plant to grow aud
the surer is it's subsequent thrift Do
not be stingy with the holes. Make
them larger than the mere extent OF
tie roots. especially IL the soil is bard
and stubborn. In many cases II is well
to remove some of the earth and to re-
place 1t with fine top SOIL Be sure TO
spade up the earth and make it fine In
the bottom of the hole. for this enables
the roots to grow downward to a con-
slant moisture supply. Be sure also
that the earth Is firmly placed about
all the roots. Air spaces caase the
roots TO dry out. II is well TO set the
plant little deeper than it stood orig.
inally.
The less the plant is mutilated in re-
movai the better. In spite Of ali one
can do. much Of the root system will
be left In the ground. This means that
the top must be cut back in proper
! ton. In fact. 1t is well to shorten In
the top more than the root. because
| the root system has lost It's connection
with the soil and must re-establish IT,
self before active growth can begin.
A large top under such conditions
absorbs more moisture than the roots
can supply. aud the plant dwindles
and dies

Row TO Walk rrnner,x

In walking endeavor TO take o long.
graceful. gliding step rather than the
short choppy motion which one 80
often sees. Walking on the toes gives

Let the weight fall on the balls of the
feet. turn the toes ont trife and trans.

Avoid balancing the body by throwing
