SALT RIVER VALLEY RESERVOIR.
Interesting Report Covering the Action Taken by Residents OF
Arizona for the Encouragement Of This ALlmpOrtant
PROTECTING. MaxweIIS Address

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. "a
Through the kindness of Hon. George
II. Maxwell, the well known irrigation
expert and Of Hon. B. A. Fowler, PhG-
nix, Arizona, have received the report
OF the executive committee Of the
water storage conference committee OF
the Salt River valley, and copy Of
The address Of Mr.. Maxwell at a mass
meeting held at Phoenix on the Srd Of
last month.
Inasmuch as the Salt River valley
has been named by the interior depart
ment as the location for the construc-
ton of a reservoir under the provisions
OF the National Irrigation act of last
June, It will be interesting to those OF
your readers, who are concerned In Sc
curing government aid for irrigation
enterprises in this state, 10 learn some
thing Of the plan upon which the sue
cess of the people of the Salt River
valley was founded.
PROPOSITIONS AGREED TO.
From the report referred to | con-
dense the following propositions :
That the national irrigation act con-
templates the delivery Of water from
the government reservoir through
canal systems operated and controlled,
either by the government or by the
water-users, and not by an indepen-
dent canal company; and that, there
fore, existing canal companies should
be transformed into cooperative land
owners companies or merged into one
such company; that inasmuch as the
government would not undertake TO
callect from landowners the amounts
due for water delivered TO Them from
the government reservoir, II would be
necessary TO formulate some plan
whereby the government could deal
with all the owners OF land as a unit;
and that. therefore, an association OF
water-users should be formed. and that
the shares of stock In this corporation
should be inseparably appurtenant to
the land on which they are Issued; that
this association should embrace all the
landowners DESTROYS OF acquiring
rights to water from the reservoir, and
should be the agency TO receive and
distribute the water either to the land
owners direct or TO the canals oper-
ated by such landowners under regu-
lations 10 be established by the asso-
catlon and approved by the secretary
OF the interior.
That such association should collect
ali sums due from landowners and
make payment thereof to the govern
ment; that this association OF water
users should have central board
through which all negotiations with the
government could be conducted and
which would control all waters OF com
mon interest to the land owners, such
for instance ms the protection OF water
rights. the operation OF pumping plants,
and the acquisition and conducting OF
nc gotlatons for the reservoir site; and
that this central board should not con-
troll or manage any OF the constituent
canal systems In their local affairs. or
In the distribution OF waters allotted 10
them.
That each land owner would be en-
titled TO a fixed proportion OF the en-
tire amount OF water stored In the

WHAT DIET'z SAYS.
The facts were laid before ASST
County-Atty Loofbourow this morn
ing by Mr.. Dietg, and friend OF the
latter and the threatening letter was
translated. Mr., Detz stated that
about o'clock yesterday afternoon he
went TO Bauer and demanded the rea-
son for the threat upon his life. Bauer
admitted that he wrote the letter and
said he meant what he said. He ac-
cused Dietz and Mrs Dietz OF talking
about him. II hns been said among
some OF the German people, who are
acquainted with Bauer, that be tried
TO induce a Mrs. LOmby 10 run away
with him, and there are other stories
about the couple which reflect upon
them, according TO Dietzs statement
20 the county attorney. But Dietz EN-
phatcally declares that all that has
been said by him or his wife would
not Justify Bauer In threatening 10 kill
him. Dietz said that one day last week
Mrs. Lomby called on his (DietzJ
wife and told her that Bauer wanted
her (Mrs. Lomby) to leave her hus-
band and go with him. Mrs. Dietz
simply advised the woman TO have
nothing to do with Bauer.
When Dietz called on Bauer yester-
day afternoon. he became very abusive
and accused Dletz OF talking to another
person, Dietz hunted the man up and
took him to Bauer to make an ex-
PLANTATION and Bauer ordered both men
to leave the place on pain Of complete
humiliation. Dletz Is afraid that
Bauer would kill him II he is per-
mitted to have his liberty. lie told Mr..
Loofbourow that he had never said
word about the man and had never
had any trouble with him. Mr. Loot
borrow then drew up a complaint
charging Bauer with threatening to
commit an assault. Judge Diehl at
once issued a warrant Of arrest. ana II
was placed in the hands Of an officer.
The officer went In search Of the bad
man, but the latter saw the officer first
and ran. The police know right where
to lay their hands on him, however.
and he win be In their custody before
night.
