More than once The Republican has
suggested that if the ranchmen of the
Salt River valley
A POSSIBILITY, are willing to pay
AND a DUTY. for a storage reser-
voir, possibly they
could get it through the provisions of
the new irrigation law. In other words.
if the government could be. assured
that its investment would be returned
it might be induced to construct the
Tonic reservoir. 1t is gratifying to note
that there is a strong disposition local
ly to take up the question in an earnest
manner.
Everybody has long since abandoned
the delusion, we believe, that some
thing may be had for nothing in this
matter of storage. The idea no longer
prevails that the government can be
induced to construct a reservoir and
give it to the people of this valley. II
the government does the construction
it will be along business lines-under
arrangements which will prevent ulti-
mate loss. The most that can be ex-
pected of the government is that it may
DE induced to stand in the character
of money-lender.
Since, then, the water consumers
must pay for storage in the end, wheth
er the money be advanced by the fed
eral government the county, or pri-
vate capitalists, and since nothing fur
Their can be done in the line of county
ownership until congress meets again.
there would certainly be nothing lost
by an effort meantime to have the sec
rotary of the interior adopt the Tonic
the Hansbrough- Newlands law. And
it should not be a matter of great diff
Guilty to obtain and lay before the sec
rotary the necessary proof that the
government could rely upon getting its
money back. We do not believe there
is a ranchman in the valley who would
hesitate to buy Il water right in the
federal reservoir on the basis of $40 an
acre, the payments to be made in ten
annual installments. Just now there is
not a ranch owner who would deny that
a single thorough irrigation OF his land
would be worth one dollar an acre.
be good investment for him to enter
into a contract to pay for water rights
in the reservoir on an easy-payment
basis. All told, the governments charge
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1902-07-15

for water rights and the additional
charge Gf any for interest would be
insignificant as compared with the ben
efits, and in reality would constitute a
low water rental. And upon the COM
pletion of the installment period the
people would own the reservoir and
hardly realize that it had cost them
cent. While the payments to the gov
ernment would not begin until after
completion of the reservoir, OF course,
would be added to the value of every
ranch in the valley the moment the
government decided upon construction.
We do not believe that there would
be opposition to this plan, even from
the most sanguine priority right"
ranchmen. Those who feel the utmost
confidence that ultimately the courts
will decree to them an increased supply
of water would not hesitate between
prolonged and indefinite litigation on
the one hand and an immediate and
adequate supply of water through
reservoir on the other.
The matter of obtaining satisfactory
evidence as to the revenues of the res
ervoir should, therefore, be a simple and
easy undertaking. Two weeks time
would suffice, we are confident, to oh
tain the signature of every ranch own
er, pledging himself to purchase q
water right from the government.
1t is a matter of public knowledge
that the federal officials who have had
reservoir Investigations in hand are all
most favorably disposed toward the
Tonic site. All of them admit that it
is, -eminently, the finest site in the
United States for water storage on i
great scale Without qualification il
can be said that at no other point in
the country could the secretary of the
interior begin the work of storing water
under such circumstances of assured
success. A friendly hearing is, conse-
quently. already certain.
Under the circumstances is is duty
the people of the valley owe themselves
to place the question before Secretary
Hitchcock in the most effective way.

result, a man Is languishing behind the

his mind was temporarily deranged aud
that he did not realize what he was doing;

reason for Deputy Patterson Of Port Ar
thur bo take him In custody and bring him

living In bed sick and stated that he would
put him out OF his misery and with that
he fred a shot landing on the sick mans
his work on that patient and turned to

machlnists' strike remains unchanged. The
company is allowing the old men who de-
sire to return TO work. There was no
Disagreement regarding the wages or hours
reported and those who return go back
under the same conditions under which
they went out. General Manager Mann
reports that some of the old men have re-
turned.
The conduct OF the strikers and their
sympathizers has been very good under
the circumstances. The only trouble re-
ported thus far was case at Cleburne
wherein the strikers and their friends had
a man who had returned to work arrested
on the charge OF abusive language. The
report received by the company of the
affair was that the man In question was
surrounded by about twenty of the SILK
ers and their friends and that he had a
pistol and stood them on with It,
charge was first made against him for
carrying the pistol and az It developed
that he had a permit to carry the pistol
a charge Of using abusive language was
then lodged against him. The case was
continued when called for trial.
On the whole the best Of order has pre-
vailed thus far all over the road among
