mike of wheel and they have given
fine satisfaction. He believes that
they are the best. strongest and NEST

several other kinds of wheels. There
is perhaps not better repair shop ON

CAME IN TOO LATE.

The time for taking advantage Of the act of the legislature exempting railroads and reservoirs from taxation is passed It expired last Friday. yet notwithstanding that, notices are still being received al the office of the secretary of the territory. Yesterday application was made on behalf of a party of Kentucky capitalists who want to build a reservoir somewhere On the Gila river, which will impound 100. 900 inches of water.
 Nothing could be done about it, but the secretary pointed out way by which the promoters of the project may still avail themselves. not of the exemption law but of special act.
 It was explained that the next legis lature would probably renew the law which has just expired. and that oo doubt the legislature would in this case put the promoters of the pro posed reservoir project on the same footing as those who filed papers a week earlier-Phoenix Gazette.

NOTHING IN THE WAf OF DAM
Hon. Y. r. Powers Gays rrcineers Will Push Work 70 Completion.
Phoenix Gazette ]


 That the engineers would go light ahead with the construction of the Tonto dam until it is competed, IS what I gathered from the government Hon. T. T. Powers. whh. with John Orme, returned yesterday from Utah, where they attended the national ir- rigation congress. Tine opposition to the Tonto dam has aDort Eubsided. at least for the present. and do not believe anything will be said ir the future, as it has progressed ,oo far for that What opposI..ol there was came from the northwes. manly, al though the subject was freely dis cussed in the hotel corridors and cn the streets. Nothing was said on the floor of the convention, except in general way. The reservoir is a certainty.
 The bids for the construction of the telephone line and the cement mill were 10 have been open@i today st Denver by the engineers, who will for ward oheir report to Washington i'm mediately. The Tonto proposition is now in better shape than it has ever been. and this is the view shared by others who attended the congress.
 "Mr. Fowler accompan:ei the en- gineers to Denver, and will remain there until the reports are forwarded. It is possible that he will go on to Washington. but he is of the opinion that such trip will be unnecessary and perhaps not advisable"
 MT. Powers stated that the irIiga- tion congress was a success in every particular. and that the Arizona rep iesentation was equal to "a. If ary other state or territory. There were in all fifty delegates, but enc of them lost his credentials. cutting us down to forty-niDe. Each state was al lowed twenty votes, so that when a question came up. a caucus was held and the twenty votes cast according to the sentiments expressed We had the largest proportionate delega. ton of any other state," said MT anu we IudQe an eXcelIent showing"
 The model farm was visited bv the Arizona delegation, and according to NIT. Powers the ,ranchers found very little that they did not already know about irrigation. One idea was picked up. however. and that was the use of canvas to prevent washes around head gates. or where there is sufficient fall of water to create a wash. Redwood trouehs were used fer the ditches and either tin or iron pipe was used to let the water out Everything was very expensive and not at all practicable.
 Secretary Frank Parker. of the Water Users association. is expec.ed to arrive today. while Walter Talbot and other delegates are expectei either the latter part of the week or the first of next.
 MT. Powers has always been an enthusiast over the Tonto dam, but DOW he is more enthusiastic thar ever. All the delegates from this territory are also well satisfied with the situation. The opposition of c. n. Renpv. of Pinal county, has ceased. h's wind having given. out for the present
