A House Divided

Indications point to a rather stormy eting of the National Irrigation con 5ss now iu session at ogden, Utah, to iealousies and friction arising sr the selection of sites for the con uction of the first irrigation works der the national irrigation law. Un- tunately, the most deep seated en- y finds lodgment in Pinal county, izona, and is directed against the nto project, in this county, admitted be the most important and most sible of all the irrigation proposi- ns yet investigated by the govern ut engineers, and an enterprise in pport of which the people of Arizona Juld be united.

There t the slightest doubt in our mind t If the physical features of the San los site had been found to be more orable to the construction of re. ining dam than at the Tonto loca- l, the engineers would have so re- ted.

appreciate the advantages of the box canyon of Salt river. below the mouth of Tonto creek, as a site for restrain ing dam. It's chief points of superior iority are, the shallow bedrock (the average depth being about 24 feet); the almost perfect geological conditions from an engineering standpoint the great storage capacity of the valley above the extent of the watershed and annual flow in Salt river, and the small amount of silt earned by the water These are features which make the Tonto reservoir site incomparable.
 Our sympathies, in a large measure, have been with the people of Florence and the Casa Grande valley in their ef forts to obtain aid from the govern ment to save their homes and arrest the reversion of that wonderfully produc- tive valley to the desert state. We have noted with much regret the grad ual decline of Florence and the farm ing interest, which was such m impor- tant factor for the towns support. The Casa Grande valley is the victim of foreign corporation owning the only canal, the artery upon which the whole valley is dependent for the distribution of the life-giving waters. The canal company has utterly failed to fulfill it's obligations to its patrons and local stockholders. The canal has been al lowed to fall into decay, until it does not carry one half, perhaps not oue- quarter, the water required for the ir- rigation of the cultivated lands tribu- tary to it, and the people of the val ley are so impoverished that they are not able to repair and maintain the waterway.
 With these disheartening conditions confronting them, the necessity for outside aid, which the government alone is able to extend, was apparent and urgent. The Florence people have made gallant fight against great odds, It is possible yet that they may obtain the relief asked for, but Tn our opinion they are making serious mistake in fighting the Tonto project and de- nouncing everybody connected with it, including the officials of the geological survey. Such A course is not calcu lated to win support at Washington and its effect at home Is to alienate those who have heretofore been friend. ly. There Is nothing so calculated to disgust fair minded people as the vim dictive spirit shown by some of the leaders of this movement at Florence, If the Plnal county delegates have gone to Ogden with the fixed purpose of fighting the Tonto project and ap pealing for support to delegates from other states jealous of the favor sh ,wn Arizona by the government, they are doing Arizona great wrong, and will certainly prejudice their OVID cause
 If the people of Arizona will but have patience and work Tn harmony, We may hope to see important irriga- ton works constructed by the govern ment on the Salt, Gila, Colorado and San Pedro rivers, which will make of this territory au agricultural paradise. If, however, We continue to work at cross purposes, our claims may be ig- nored, and other states in the arid west, camoring for recognition, be fla vored by the government.
 If house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

THE FISH CREEK ROAD
The Stories of It's Great Rugsedness Have Not
 Been Magnfed


 J R. Thorpe, of this city, and Garri- son Babcock, of Chicago, q civil engi- neer, returned from Globe on yesterday mornings train, having made the trip from here to Globe on horseback, via the proposed Fish creek road to the damsite, in company with Arthur F. Davis and others. The purpose of the gentlemen, aS has been before stated, was to look over the Fish creek route with a view of possibly putting in a bid for construction of the telephone line.
 MT. Thorpe says he is now fully sat isfisd that the gentlemen who say the Fish creek route is a rough one are well advised in the matter. He thinks the whole trail from GoldHeld tO the damSite needs working over by mother nature before civil engineers accept it as good raw material. Asked if he would put in bid for construction work, Mr. Thorpe said he did not be- ieve anybody would put in bid. The telephone line can be built all right, but SO much of the material will have to be carried on pack animals over widely differing trails that an engineer can scarcely tind any thing reliable to base an estimate on. He thinks, therefore, that the government will have to build the line itself, as pri- vate contractor would take too many chances.
 Mr. Davis, he said, he found to be a very genial companion on the journey and very broadminded and observing man. He feels snre that he will meet and master every obstacle in the way of roadbuilding one way or another, but as for himself, Mir. Thorpe wants to sit down before the counting be- gins. .-Rei ublican.

The statement credited to Major w :. H, H, Llewellyn, of New Mexico, that Mark Smith aud Col. J. F Wilson, of Arizona, had been won over to the idea of uniting New Mexico and Arizona into one state, is SO obviously untrue as to hardly merit serious considera- tiou, although Col. Wilson has seen fit to deny it for himself, as well as on be- half of Ar Smith, iu letter to the Washington Post, which first gave the Llewellyn falsehood currency. Ex- Delegate Smith and our present dele gate to congress, Col Wilson, are both on record as emphatically opposed to joint statehood, and any other position assumed on this question would be ia. tai to their prestige and future careers as public men ID this territory, as the people of Arizona are practically unanimous in their unalterable opposi- ton to the joint-statehood idea.
