Davis. one of the photographers of the
survey, i'm his report on the enterprise,
says it will probably be impossible to
find anywhere in the arid regions a
storage project in which all the condi-
tions are as faVora BILE as for the Salt
River reservoir. In this reservoir site
lies one of the most important posi-
bilities for the future OF southern Ari-
zona.
On the whole, it is not very easy to
find reservoir sites that are entirely
satisfactory. Many localities recon-
mended as suitable positions for stor-
age dams have proved upon technical
examination to be impracticable. The
amount Cf water retained would be too
small to repay the cost of construction;
or solid rock on which to build the
dam has not been found at a moderate
depth: or the tributary streams carry
so large an amount of rock waste that
the reservoir. If built. would rapidly
slit up. shortening its utility. Legal
obstacles arising from irrigation works
already constructed are also encount-
cred in many places; but none of these
difficulties will be met in building the
Salt River reservoir.
The Reclamation law under which
similar improveme are to be made in
many perts of the arid regions is not
perfect, but in its main features it is
sound and practicable. The theory OF
it is that it will turn vast areas OF
now worthless land into the richest OF
farms without ultimate expense to the
government; for the outlay in building
the reservoirs is expected to be return

THE FIRST OF THE GREAT RESER-
VOIRS.

A little northeast of Phoenix. in
southern Arizona, the actual work OF
establishing irrigation centres, under
the auspices of the federal government.
has begun. a great deal has been ac-
complished. but not in actual construc-
ton. The irrigation survey has been
in progress for about fifteen years.
Many practicable reservoir sites have
been located and surveyed. Irrigation
processes have been studied. The
water supply for irrigation from rivers
and artesian wells has been the sub
ject of many reports and the Water
Supply and Irrigation Papers Of the
United States geological survey. whose
publication began in 1896 is now pro-
ceeding at the rate of ten or twelve
in a year.
1t will not be long, however. before
all the surveys ard examinations re-
quired in the arid states and territor-
les can be completed. This immense
labor is necessary preliminary to con-
struction; and il is not surprising that
it was not till Oct. II, last that Secre-
tary Hitchcock ordered the first reser-
voir to be built in the ella river basin

This place is wisely chosen for the

A Forgotten Public Debt.

Most of people in Phoenix have for
gotten doubtless, that the carnival of
three years ago left a burden upon the
shoulders of certain public spirited
citizens which it was the duty OF the
whole community to assume. Owing
to bad weather and other unfortunate
circumstances, the carnival was los
ing proposition. Had it been private
affair the loss would not have been a
matter of public concern. But it had
been undertaken as a public enter
prise, and citizens unanimously en-
couraged the scheme.
AS always in such an undertaking,
there had to be an organization. Ger
tain men, selected by their fellow citi-
zens, We're placed on committees and
requested to do their best to make the
carnival success. They labored earn
estly and unselfishly, and TO the ne
elect of their private business to assure
a success. When the carnival was
over. the members of these committees
found that the receipts had fallen so
far short of the expenditures that
there was a substantial deficit. 1t
had been necessary for the committees
to stand responsible financially, dur
ing the progress of the carnival, and
creditors looked to them, naturally, for
the settlement of bills. So that. in ad-
dition to the performance of Il
months hard work fer the town with
cut pay, the members of the committee
were stuck for expenses which really
comprised debt of the whole city. In
order to raise the required funds
wherewith to meet the unpaid bills
these public spirited committeeman
signed joint notes. One of these notes
calling for more than s7oO. has been
paid An account for cattle used in
the steer-tying contest, went to judg-
ment for the sum of s419.55, and is still
unpaid.
1t is not right that these citizens
should have to pay without assistance
this total of more than s1,1O0.
The board of trade, as the only com
mercial body representing the business
community, long ago should have
taken up this question and raised al
| least part of this S1.1OO by public
subscription. Probably the main rea-
| son why the board took ne action was
| that the very men who had assumed
these obligations were among The
leading members of the board, ant
] they did not consider it modest or il
/ good taste to impress the public witt
| the facts in the premises.
! They were mistaken. however. They
were stewards, merely, for the public
and they should have requested citi
zens generally to contribute. AT any
rate, no inhibition rests upon The Re
| publican in the matter. We say frank
| ly tC the people of Phoenix that they
! should without delay contribute gen
erously toward lifting this burder
| from the men who have borne it alone
| We believe that the sense of justice
| always strong in Phoenix will Leaf
citizens to contribute with alacrit!
| and pleasure.
The board of trade should take vi
the matter formally, without furthe
delay.

American Railways.

The seventeenth annual report of the
interstate commerce commission covers
wide range of topics connected with
the subject of American railways.
The report includes a comprehensive
abstract of the seventeenth annual re-
port on the statistics of railways in the
United States for the year ending June
80, 1902. This report, a volume of 7C0
pages, is similar to previous sports in
the series. though several new sum-
maries appear for the first time
therein.
To present concisely the results of
railway operations, the commission is
sues each year a preliminary report on
the income account of operating roads,
which is published in advance of the
full report on railway statistics pre-
pared by it's statistican. For the past
fiscal year this report comprises re-
turns for roads representing POI, 457
miles Of line, or about SO per cent. of
the mileage that will be included in
the final report. The chief results of
this compilation are given in the fol-
lowing statement:
The gross earnings of the railways
for the year ending June 80, 1903, on
the mileage stated, were $3.50, 15O 679.
The gross earnings for the previous
year, on 200, 154 miles, as shown in the
| final report, were SLIPS, $3.50, 267 Pas
| senger earnings amounted to $50S $685.
O09. and freight earnings to 81, 1886, 76S,-
| ISL. Miscellaneous earnings connected
with operation were $45, 699 OS9. Gross
earnings from operation averaged So
SS2 per mile of line. This average is
! $751; larger than the average shown in
the complete report for 1902. OF the
gross earnings per mile of line, ST.
525 were assignable to the passenger
service and 5000 to the freight ser
vice. The operating expenses of the
roads totalized S1,24S, $40, 4S3 This ag-
gregate is equivalent to an expenditure
of s6,197 per mile, or of $500 more pei
Hmile than was shown in the complete
returns for 1902. The net earnings thus
shown for the year 1903 were s607 81
926 On the same mileage basis the net
| earnings averaged 1859 more per mile
for 1908 than for the previous year
The total net income of the roads in
cluded in this advance report was
$734, 709, 435. This amount includes $93.-
