MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE
A NEW COUNTRY CLUB.
Plans for New Social Body VIII Be
Made Known Definitely at Meet
ing ON July 10.

A movement started few days ago to
organize n new Country Club in this city
has met with immediate response, according
to the announcement made by Bernard
Greensfelder one of the promoters of the
enterprise. 1t Is planned to form new
club for the benefit of those wishing to
join such body, and the success of the
venture seems assured.
While the exact location of the club has
not been decided upon, several sites are
considered available for such an enterprise.
The prime movers in the organization,
among whom are Alec Meyer. NJ. ]. Low
enstein, Arthur Rice, Doctor l.. j. Wolfsrt
and Doctor NJ. A. Goldstein. have received
many assurances of support in the UNDER
taking.
According to Mr. Greensfelder, many per-
sons are willing to enter a new country and
social club, but are deferred from becoming
count of the constitutions of those bodies.
which limit the membership. The waiting
list is so long, in the case OF some clubs, he
states, that it appeared as IL a new club
would be timely.
1t is planned to limit the membership of
the new club to $50, having charter men,
bersh!p of 200. The charter members will
be free from initiation dues. Yearly dues
and initiation fees have been set at $50
each. To make formal arrangements in
the matter, meeting has been set for
July Is.
All the features Of an up-to-date club will
be incorporated in the new body. 1t is de-
signed to have tennis courts. golf links and
bowling alleys on the club property, while
several Of the sites offered will give an op-
portunity for aquatic events.

The Homemaker.

The interior departmentseems to be insisting upon the most rigid construction of the new national irrigation law, and par ticularly upon that feature which provides that no land owner shall receive water directly or indirectly for more than one hundred and sixty acres of land. The greatest trouble experienced in organizing the land owners in the Salt river valley, which is to receive the waters to be stored by the great TontO dam, into water users association which could deal directly with the gov ernment in the distribution of Water, lay in the opposition of a large number of land owners who endeavOred by one means and another to cajole the govern ment into allowing them water for more than one hundred and sixty acres.
 The government holds that to secure water for his land man must be not only it's actual own CT but it's actual personal user and cultivator. This, of course, eliminates nonresident specula- tors, and the regulations are so strict as to preclude the further possibility of temporary assign ment of title under which water rights may be secured and then the reverSiOn of the land title again to the speculator. As ten years is the period of time which will elapse before the water title is paid for and passes to the set tier, it can be confidently stated that after a man has lived upon his land and cultivated and inn proved it for this length of time he will have come to consider it his permanent home and will not part with it for less than it's act ual value.

the attsHtlou of the gOVcrnment: would 1t be strange or surpr1S- ing if this should be one of the sections where the practical ap- plication of the irrigation law should first be made? It certainly would not. Assuming that the national irrigation law will be honestly and wisely carried out this section undoubtedly stands most favorably to receive early consideration.
 It has been suggested that "pOlitics" may have a good deal to do with securing favors under the irrigation law. It must be admitted that this contention has some foundation as applied to the past: bat it looks very much to man up a tree as though "cOmmerciul" politics in connec- ton with the different depart ments of the government, under the Roosevelt administration had received 8 jolt in close prox- unity to the solar plezus; if not knocked out, it is at least very groggy.
 Taking all things into consid eration there is small chance for political influence alone to rule in the selection of reservoir sites and irrigation works; the plans of the government, based upon honest conclusions arrived at by caps ble and painstaking en- gineers are not likely to be changed materially by undue political influence" by a dam site.
 It Is proper, therefore, to feel Sanguine Over the matter; at least the encouragement of the government engineers, our splen- did situation, the magnificent Colorado river, our fertile lands and semi tropic climate-every condition and environment is in our favor. Keep a stiff upper lip.

Greater Than Egypt's or lndia's
 Irrigation Works.

Extract from an address de- livered by George H. Maxwell at Saratoga Springs, New York, July, 17, 1903:
 "But today we have in the treasury of the United States fund of fifteen million dollars ready to be expended to build these great government works which will rival the irrigation works of India or the immense dam which has recently been built across the Nile at Assouan.
 ''Is it not of interest to every manufacturer of hardware that the United States government is about to begin the construction of one of the greatest reservoirs in the world at TOntO Basin on Salt river in central Arizona? A
 
 great dam will be built there which will close a mighty chasm by wedglug across it a wall of rock which will tower 230 feet above the river bed and create behind it a lake fifteen miles long on one wing and ten miles long on the other. There will be a power canal leading from the river above the reservoir to a point below the dam where the natural flow of that river will drop 23O feet. The water pour ing down there and flowing through the canyon and other power plants below will gener- ate twenty thousand horse power This power will be trans mitted away and used to lift OUnef water rom GHG unQ6f- ground reservoirs which nature has provided and pour it out up on the thirsty land.
 "And there in the mysterious silence of the desert, where nothing could live before but the cactus and the horned toad, em- erald fields and Towering or chards will spring into being. From the dead ashes of an eX- tinct civilization and a race that has gone no man knows where. another and new people will rise.
