Arizona In Luck.

Stupendous as it is in scope, and far
on the prosperity of Arizona. the con-
struction of the Tonic Basin reservoir
will merely mark the beginning or the
governments great plan for the re-
clamation of the deserts in this region
Only a few days ago the commissioner
of the general land office, directed by
the secretary of the interior, Withdrew
from entry two large tracts of land In
California, bordering on the Colorado
river The Withdrawals are for the
purpose of holding the lands for re-
clamation under the national irrigation
law. One of the tracts, containing
more than 1900 acres. lies Immediately
above the town of Yuma and when
placed under cultivation will be directi.
tributary to Yuma.
The projects mentioned by no means
comprise the governments full pro-
gramme for the Colorado. however In
deed, when that programme is finished
it will embrace an empire bisected by
IONA will be quite as large as in Cali
fornia
Nor is this all. With the assurance OF
at least s15,OOO.OO0 in the reclamation
fund before construction anywhere is
begun, and with the further assurance
that as a direct result of reservoir con-
struction the fund will grow by mil
lions of dollars, Arizona stands In an
excellent position to get about every
thing her people want. Provided only
that 1t be found easily practicable from
an engineering standpoint, the San
Carlos reservoir, about which some OF
our friends at Florence are so much
exercised, will in all probability be
taken up earnestly by the government
officials at an early day. In addition
to this. federal reservoir on the Verde
river will quickly follow that on the

The WiIson.Rodey Conference.

Delegate Wilson of Arizona and Dele
gate Rodey of New Mexico have held a
conference. on the statehood question.
and have reached an understanding on
certain points According to the re-
port of the meeting as made by Colonel
Wilson through his paper. the Demo-
crat, 1t was agreed between the two
delegates "a that separate bills shall be
introduced for the admission of the
three territories; (2) that the introduc-
ton of an omnibus bill may follow
later. If it shall be deemed advisable,
and (3) that separate statehood BE-
fought for and that the union of the
two territories into one state be op-
posed to the bitter end"
So far, so good. Were Delegate
Rodey and our other friends in New
Mexico to stand loyalty by this under
the consolidation of the two territories.
And in any event, Delegate Wilson de
serves commentator for trying to get
the delegate from New Mexico commit
read the rest of our delegates version
of the meeting it appears that he was
rather premature in phrasing the third
clause of the agreement. There is. it
seems. a string to Mr.. Rodey's pledge
TO stand by separate statehood. AS
Colonel Wilson explains 1t:
1.-THE question of what should be done
If the party in power should force the
joint statehood bill down our throats.
whether or not. as they are seemingly
threatening to do, came up and Mr.
Rodey announced that in the event of
this happening, unless the people of
New Mexico otherwise directed. that he
would take the field to secure the adop-
tion of the constitution of the new state
when Joined"
It will be observed that the English
of the paragraph quoted is Colonel
Wilson's and not ours. but we think
most of our readers will get at its
meaning. In effect. Delegate Rodey
agrees that he will introduce a bill for
the admission of New Mexico alone.
and will oppose the passage Of bill
for the admission of that territory with
Arizona as single state. But if joint
statehood bill is passed. he will take
the stump and advocate its ratification
by his people. In other words, Dele
gate Rodey is willing to ride horses
going in opposite directions.
In our opinion Delegate Wilson will
have his labor for his pains in any
attempt to get New Mexico in line
with Arizona against the consolidation
of the two territories. We do not be-
lieve the danger of consolidation is i'm
ninent. but there is no Disgusting the
fact that the scheme is pleasing to New
Mexico. Delegate Rodey may succeed
in maintaining a technically unobjec-
tionable attitude. but no ArizoniGr

ment is its banner. One may follow the progress
Of the men from the different cantons through
the sea of human beings by means of their
banners, showing above the heads like the flag
of a submarine craft. These standards Of many
colors are particularly Respondent against the
white costumes.
For half an hour the line Of brawny athletes
files past the spectators. At last every man
has reached his place, and the field, a few mo-
ments ago showing only the covering nature
provided, has bIossomed into a moving mass Of
white. Its wilderness is the whiteness of field
which has been pre-empted by daisies; the sway
ing like that Of an immense wind-swept field of
grain, shimmering in the sunlight. At a given
signal the bands begin to play and the entire
seven thousand athletes. each equidistant from
his neighbors, and all equally familiar from
long practice with the movements, in unison
bend to the right. 1t is a striking spectacle
The eye quickly travels the whitened field
and beholds in a twtnkling the entire surface
rise and dip to the left, as if actuated from
beneath by some strange aIl-pervading spirit
From side to side, forward and backward the
whitened surface sways. Twice in the course
OF the meet is the main drill held. on Sunday
the second day. and again on Tuesday. the last
day. After the drill the athletes separate to
participate in the various contests
Among the most interesting affairs Of the
tournament those Of the last day. when the
victors literally receive their crowns at the
hands Of half hundred OF the fafrest maidens
Of the city, and afterward march through the
streets IN their white costumes wearing their
laurel and oak crowns upon their brows. There
is a Grecian atmosphere 10 the programme for
this day. The crown maidens' have been Sc

Then follows the procession OF the laurel

smaller organizations hold contests with each
other.
The national contests are separated into three
divisions-the national including weight lift
ing, weight throwing. wrestling and 'schwin-
gen''-a contest in which the athlete tries to
throw his opponent his back; the "kunst,"
or artistic, division including such exercises as
jumping. the fire drill. and those upon the hori-
zontal bar, the parallel bar and the horse. and
a division for special classes in which are in
Guided weight throwing, wrestling, jumping,
climbing, "schwingen," obstacle and fiat races
fencing. swimming and 'gerwerfen," or spear
casting, for which the prizes medals. plate
or useful articles. In the other divisions the
prizes, which are awarded on points, are laurel
and oak wreaths crowns and diplomas.
These national gatherings have a picturesque
side. They are held in the different cities in
turn. The city selected by the national
mittee makes the affair. which lasts from four
to five days, festival indeed. The streets are
decked with bunting and strands of green. A
pavilion Is constructed for the use of the ath-
letes. where many of them are fed. A great
field Is carefully prepared for the different
events Daily banquets. concerts and dramatic
entertainments are arranged. Fireworks are
discharged literally. At last the day for the
opening OF the festival arrives. This year it
the last Saturday in July. 1t is marked
by two events of special interest They are the
arrival and reception of the 'zentralfahne," or
banner of the Federal Association, and the
procession Of athletes through the streets of
the city. The banner the opening day of
the fete is transferred from the city in which
the previous fate held. which has been its
custodian since that time, to the city in which
the festival is about to open. Upon the arrival
of the banner this year from Chaux de Ponds
it was received with great ceremonial by the
authorities
The procession of the athletes brings throngs
TO the sides of the narrow streets. In alpha
betical order the representatives. of the different
cantons march along with their banners Bands
Of music and the coored bunting add to the
holiday spirit
On the second day occurs one Of the striking
ly picturesque features Of the meet. This is
the mass drill of the seven thousand contest
ants. The athletes gather on the large field in
hollow square. In the midst one of the local
clergymen takes his place and offers a solemn
prayer. Every head is barred as the petition
ascends. Then the contestants nearly every one
of them in a close fitting suit of white with
broad belt of some dark material about his
waist to relieve the costume. take their places
in the lines and march to their positions on the
field for the drill AT the head OF each detach-

national organization Is the United Federal

made up Of the cantonal and provincial gym

IN the towns and villages. The gymnastic exer-
cises Of these "sektions' conducted under
the supervision of teachers trained in physical

of the rewards of maturity. When the Swiss
lad reaches the age of sixteen he is eligible for
membership The only other requirement is that
he shall be willing to become a subscriber to
the fund for paying the expenses of the local
and national athletic societies. 1t is said that
out of the 100000 inhabitants of the tiny re-
public $1,000 of all ages are members Of these
organizations.
The present association is much less than
century old The gymnastic societies were at
first confined to the universities Of Zurich Basic
and Berne but SO popular did the idea of ath-
letics become that societies rapidly sprang up
outside, until they were to be found in large

movement UP to the present time seems to have
