THE REPORT.

The executive committee of the water storage conference committee of the Salt River valley respectfully submits to the general committee the following report:
 We have given the most careful, ex- haustive, deliberate and impartial con- sideration to the problem of the forInu- lation of a comprehensive general plan which would remove the obstacles to be overcome and enable the landowners and water users of the Salt River val ley to unite their interests and inflU- ence in a combined and determined eff fort to secure the construction of the Salt River reservoir by the national government.
 We have unanimously agreed upon the general plan hereinafter set forth as one which will, in our judgment, If it is adopted and carried into effect hy the people of the Salt River valley en able them to obtain for themselves the great benefits which water storage would bring to this community and to every member of it.
 We believe success in this movement depends wholly upon the people them selves. With a united community there is every assurance of success, and We urge upon every citizen of the Salt River valley the imperative and urgent importance in this critical period in the history of our. development of working shoulder to shoulder to carry out the plan suggested by this committee and set forth in this report.
 The national irrigation act does not contemplate or authorize the construc- ton of a reservoir by the national gov ernment for the storage of water to be delivered to a canal company and by that canal company carried and deliv cred to the water users, where the canal system is operated and controlled by neither the government nor the wate' users. The water must be delivered and distributed to the land 10 which the right to it's use has by the government been made perpetually appurtenant. either through a government canal or through a canal owned, operated and controlled by the owners of the lands entitled to the water
 II is for this reason necessary that such of the canal companies or systems in the Salt River valley as will carry water from the reservoir to the lands on which the government will locate
 
 into one such company which shall un- dertake the duty of distributing the water from the reservoir so that every land owner holding q government reser- voir right shall be assured of a cor responding right to have his water car ried to him from the reservoir to the land on which he may be entitled to use the water for irrigation. The storage of the water is not the only thing to be considered Its distribution under q plan which will conform to the re- quirements and provisions of the na- tional irrigation act is equally neces- sary and important and must be ar ranged and provided for before we could secure the construction of the reservoir by the government
 It is likewise necessary, in view of the existing local conditions in the Salt Eiver valley, that some plan should he adopted whereby the government can deal with all the owners of lands to which reservoir rights are to be issued, as a Urit
 The government would not and could not undertake to collect water rates

 Boodler.

St Louis, Mo-, October 2.-In the trial of Robert M. Snyder, banker and pro- moter, charged with bribery in connec- tion with the passage of the central traction bill, the states case was prac- tically submitted today.

 He named some of the men who got money: Carroll. s17,25O; Gaus, s1O.OOO. Cast. $1O.C00, or &t the general rate of sl0000 a head
 Fred G. Uthoff also unbosomed him. self with rather little confusion. ye. he named large sums of money with the same directness, specifying who paid and who was paid.

ONE CHURCH
Will Have a Special
Sermon
To Observe the Anniversary Of
McKinley's Death.

Early in the morning Of Sept. a.,
1902, the news was flashed from Buff
falo that President Mckinley was
dead. Grief was universal. A public
meeting was held in this city
a few hours later and union me-
mortal services were held in the First
Methodist church, the First Church OF
Christ and Grace Reformed church on
Sunday evening.
Sunday, Sept IA, 1902, will pass in
Akron apparently with but little more
than a passing reference to the death
of President Mckinley. At the meet
ing Of the Evangelical Alliance Monday
afternoon no reference was made to
Sunday being the first anniversary OF
the death of the late President. A
number of the ministers were seen
Tuesday and only one-Rev. III. S.
MacAyeal, pstor of the First Con
gregatlonal church-stated that there
would probably be special services in
his church.

forces will be divided and different
problems will be offered for solution.
Most Of the exigencies of battle and
chances Of martial conflict will be
1ealt with in these problems.
