.ROOSEVELT'S APPEAL
Continued From First page.)

tory, or wholly in a territory This
section of his bill would meet with
great opposition from the Montana
delegation, and in the senate this OPP
position will be strong enough to cause
a modification in the language of the
measure.
The proposed irrigation enterprise on
the California and Nevada line per-
mits of the construction of several res
ervoirs. costing perhaps 100000 apiece,
the land TO be reclaimed being open to
settlement as the storage capacity is
increased. This work is looked upon
by the geological survey as the best
place in the United States to demon
strate the feasibility Of water storage
by the government. There would he
no conflicting water claims. and all OF
the land to be watered now belongs TO
the government and can be reserved
from settlement until aparticular time.
Much has been written of the pro-
posed dam across the ella river. where
the water is needed for the benefit of
the Papago, Maricopa and Pima In
dams. In addition to supplying the
Indian lands with water, about 100000
acres of government land could be ir-
rigated. and thus the experimental
work of reclaiming the public domain
for settlement could be demonstrated
at the same time the Indians We're
being saved from becoming dependent
ration consumers.
Such a measure as that proposed by
Mr.. Lacey can be put through the
house if made an administrative meas
ure, and it is extremely doubtful
whether anything more than is COIL
templated in the Lacey bill can be ac-
complished unless, as is possible. the
bill he enlarged TO admit of the con
struC ton of two or three enterprises
instead Of but one. The jrrigationists
naturally have their greatest strength
in the senate. where each of the arid
and semi-arid states controls two
members, or a total sufficient to con-
stitute formidable minority. 1t was
this minority which made SO much
trouble last winter. and was partially.
if not entirely. responsible for the de-
feat of the river and harbor bill.
The irrigation senators would per-
haps not be so willing to accept the
bone flung 10 them by the majority in
the shape of one experimental irriga-
ton enterprise. but If it was made
plainly evident that no other bill could
pass the house, these same senators
who are so much concerned in secur-
ing an appropriation for the reclama
ton of the public domain would be
forced to concur for fear the session
would come TO an end without any
thing being accomplished.
The seventeen members of congress
who have been struggling with the
question of a general irrigation bill for
several weeks past are now apparently
in a hopeless middle. The first draft
of the bill was agreed to by all present
solely for the purpose of getting some
thing tangible into shape. either to

light or amend as each individual mem
Der thought best. AS the various
meetings are held. however, for the
purpose of putting the measure into
more business-like shape. the differ
ences of opinion are accentuated to
such a degree that no compromise
seems possible The rather interesting
situation outlines itself therefore in eff
feet that while the western members
are wrangling over what shall be done
for their section of the country, the
eastern members, not particularly in
terested locally, have gone to work
quietly. decided what is to be done and
are setting out to do il. If the Lacey
bill or some similar measure becomes
u law the west will owe it to the east.
and not at all to the direct effort Of
the western members. except in the
general impression their efforts have
brought about to the effect that the
people want the arid lands reclaimed.
and that it would be good politics to
make Il start at the business.

DEATH OF J. 4. DAY
Succumbed to Pneumonia After Few
Days Illness.

Mrs Joseph X. Day died yesterday
morning about 3 O'Clock a the Sisters
hospital OF pneumonia. He had been
sick a little over a week, and was taken
to the hospital week ago yesterday
by his NEST intimate friend, Mr.. Tom
NJ. Bower. \ day or two before he ad-
rn;tted his own illness he went out to
the holdings of the Rand Oil company.
near Camel Back, and slept one night
il 4 wagon. When he returned to
town there was no question OF his i'll
ness and he was taken to the hospital.
MIR. Day was in the neighborhoCd Of
40 years of age and was we'll known
all over Arizona, as he was formerly
a partner OF John McCarty, the hunter
and trapper whose mysterious disap-
pearance and supposed death created a
sensation here last summer Mrs. Nc
Carly is a niece Of a half brother of
Mi. Day. and Mr.. Bower sent word to
her yesterday. She lives some distance
from Florence and the message was
forwarded b. courier. There are no
other relatives in this part OF the coun-
try and pending reply from Mrs. Nc
Carly no arrangements for the funeral
have been made.
Mr.. Day was a member of the I. o.

greatly respected man, of quiet habits
ard never INDUCED in liqCor. His fidel-
ity to his friends was most notably
exhibited during the search for the
body of Mr.. McCarty. When others
began to talk of the futility Of the
search Mr.. Day quietly announced that
he would never stop until the mystery
was cleared up. Both he and Mr.
Bower were with the party from which
Mr.. McCarty wandered away and both
stayed in the field till the remains were
found in the little canyon in the Mo-
gollons. and both escorted them to
Phoenix. Mr.. Day was an experienced

Mysterious Victor Lee.

1t was on the evening of August 81,
1885. that Victor Lee was billed to APP
pear in Atchison. Mr.. Lee had quite a
circus reputation in those days, and
the idea of his appearing in an opera
house packed the house to the doors
and it was weeks and months before his
tricks we're discussed to 1.-The satisfaction,
of all who saw him. In his concluding
announcements he said he would favor
Atchison with another visit some day,
and he has made that promise good.
Last hight he opened three nights
engagement, and his experiments, which
were all new, kept the big audience ap-
plauding and laughing all the time. To
try and mention any one thing in par
ticular as being the, best of the pro-
gramme. would be doing wrong to the
many other features. AS the little boy
says, "they were all the BEST" and
before the day is over, you will hear
more talk Of last nights performance
than any show that has visited US in
the past fourteen years, since Victor
Lee played here last. Mr.. Lees prices
should be Csc. SOC, 75c and 81, instead
of 10 and zoe.

HOT WAR ON THE A. 7. CO.
New York Retailer. Are Getting To

New York Retailers Are Getting To-
gethcr for the Struggle.
NEW YORK, November 26,-(special)-
The war on the Tobacco Trust, which
dominates the tobacco trade, with a, capt.
tai of nearly SIS, 600, 900, has been begun In
this city. Two hundred and fifty OF the
largest retail tobacco dealers in Greater
New York have combined for united ac-
ton. Within forty-eight hours they will
have $50 more members in the organiza-
ton.
The first steps We're taken last night.
when the dealers met in hlaennerchors Hall
and formed the Greater New York Retail
Tobacco Dealers Associa ton. The fight
will be the greatest ever waged between
small dealers and a trust. The new. or
ganization will battle directly with the
United Cigar Stores Company. which, they.
say is backed by the American Tobacco
Company, known as the Tobacco Trust.
The Cigar Company is establishing
stores throughout this and other cities.
and by cutting prices is putting. retail
dealers out Of business. The purpose, the
retailers say, is to absorb all retail stores
for the trust. Them. with the public at
its mercy. the trust can dictate prices.
Inc fight is to be carried into all of
the big cities. Already the retail dealers
in Chicago and Philadelphia have enlisted.
Three methods of fighting the trusts Will
be adopted. They are:
5 Formation Of stock company to secure
the benefits Of cooperation. Issuing of
coupons for gifts similar to those issued
by the United Cigar Stores Company. En-
listing OF the entire power Of organized
labor in the battle.
The fight, the dealers say. is fight for
life. The United Cigar Stores Company
Is driving them out Of business at rate
that in a very short time will deliver the
whole business to the trust. The move
ment was begun by the trust only two
years ago.
s In that time the United Cigar Stores
Company has established eighty stores
IN Manhattan and Brooklyn, and have
