FROM NEW PLANS
Spirited Discussion in Levy
Court in Regard to Terra
Gotta Pipe
CLAIMED It WOULD BE USELESS

There was lively discussion at the
meeting OF Levy Court yesterday after
noon as 10 whether a terra GOTTA pipe
required by the plans TO be put across
the Hare's Corner road opposite the
Minduadale Home could be omitted
without invahdating the contract. II
was finally decided that the pipe could
be eliminated from the road If the con-
tractors agreed to IL.
The matter was brought to the at
tention OF the court by President Hor-
iigan of the State Highway Commls-
SION.
Mr.. Horrigan said the engineers
plans provided for an lS-inch
terra Gotta drain pipe to be lowered
across the new road IN front Of the lame
leading from in front of the Lobdell
property, which is Niinquadale Home
The object of this pipe is to vent wa
ter from the ditch on the east side OF
the road to the other side. In a heavy
storm, MIR. Horrigan said. the pip,
would be useless. because 1t would be-
unable to carry of the water. becaus,
the pipe would be crushed by heavy
wagons passing over il, and also IN,
surcharge OF water would wash away

lane.
william w. I.obdell was also pres
ent and agreed with Mr.. Horrigan tha
the terra Gotta pipe was entirely use
/ less.
Mr.. Lobdell pointed out that the roa,
as planned with the big pipe eliminate,
would be satisfactory He said that n
a big storm the rush of water abou
the pipe would cut away the Lobdel
lane and the public road, doing mucl
damage.
Mr.. Willis asked Mr.. Horrigan II tn
State Highway Commission did no
have power TO make the necessar,
change In the plans for the road.
"Yes, the Highway Commission hai

He will have 1000 pounds of choice apples from Irion's orchard, located ? miles south of Globe and 5000 pounds of choice apples and pears from the Gila valley orchards of Graham county. Word has been received from Aravaipa that J. H. Brandenberg will ship 1000 pounds of his choice apples from his Aravaipa orchard. Commissioners LeatherwOod says the fruit cannot be matched in appearance, size, flavor or frmness anywhere, and that these ex- hibitS will give Arizona reputation as future apple region. Commis- Sioner Leatherwood will leave tomor- row for Yuma to arrange for the gathering and shipment of choice lemons from Yuma to the exposition.

SALT RIVER POWER CANAL
Government Will Furnish Bidders All
 Information Possible.

The specifications for the constr uc- tion of the power canal at the Tonto damsite are now printed aud ready for inspection at the office of Arthur P. Davis, in this city, says the Phoenix Republican. Bids will be required separately on different parts of the work, such as excavation, tunneling, etc The government does not desire to fool anybody, wants responsible bidders and will do all in its power to inform them in advance of what they will be required to do if awarded con- tracts. To that end it proposes to do d little construction work itself, just enough to show the kind of work re- quired. Tests will be made with a big blow on the area to be eXcavated and in the various hills that will have to be tunneled through some pits will be dug and short tunnels driven to show the character of the rock Much of the tunnel work, it is believed, will be through formation that can hardly be called rock by reason of its softness. It can be picked, or matters may be haStened by the use of powder For this preliminary work Mir. Davis has ordered some tools to be used by his
 men in driving through the SC forma tIOns. All bidders will be required to visit the site and look over conditions before submitting their bids.
 The people Of Globe will be pleased Jp see at an early day a considerable quantity of cement shipped in via that route of supply. Over a thousand barrels Of cement will be required in the placing of fUuodations for the cement mill, temporary power house and other things previous to the con Struction of the plant for making cement on the ground. Proposals are now being asked for through the office of the secretary Of the interior for 1000 or more barrels, specifications being open for inspection at Mir Davis office here. These proposals will be opened in Washington, December 15.
 Geo. B. Ellison, electrician, and aS- sistant to Engineer Storrs, was in the city yesterday from Farish's camr. He is in charge of the survey for the telephone line and brought in for ap- proval profile of about twelve miles Jf the line that has been surveyed at this end. About twenty miles have been surveyed at the basin end of the system, commencing at the head of the basin where there will be great activity during the construction of the power canal at sast.
 Contractor Thorpe also has his ex. oertS engaged in preparing for work uSt as soon as the material arrives.

Irrigation on a Large Scale.

A recent report of the irrigation committee at Simla, India, contains the information that the government proposes to lay ogt Slj0, 1000, GOO in twenty years in building irrigation works It further intends to devote $2,O0O, 900 annually in loans for private irrigation works. The funds necessary to carry out these plans are to be raised by loans and the interest there on charged to the famine grant. The keynote of the policy of the irrigation commit ttee is the vigorous use of the natural resources of the country for their resisting power in the battles with famine Forestry and Irriga. tion.
 Grand Duke Michael, brother of CZar Nicholas, Is visiting the south of France, and is generally thought to have been temporarily banished from Russia on account of his political views. One of the reasons why the czar so ardently prays for son and heir is said to be because he thinks the views of Grand Duke Michael, heir presumptive, would destroy every plan nursed by the family of Romanofr for generations. The grand duke has boldly avowed himself in favor of rad ical political reforms, has denounced the prevailing despotism, demanded liberty of conscience throughout Rus sa, and more fair play for workmen when they strike against sweating cond tions of labor

PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Muskosee Won Good viii Of Visiting
Editors.

Sidney Suggs has returned from a
visit to the annual meeting of the
Territorial Press association at Mus
kogee and reports # as being the
greatest session in the history OF the
association.
What appealed to the Ardmoreite
man above anything else was the
manner in which Muskogee people en-
tertained their guests. During the
visit of the editors, proprietors of the
largest stores, bankers and profes-
sional men left their houses and Off
ces and devoted their time TO showing
the members of the press a good time.
Places OF historic interest were visit
ed, a drive was taken over the city,
banquets were served, visitors were
serenaded by the Muskogee band and
every man was made 10 feel that not
only was he welcome but that the
Town was glad to have him. Such a
move on the part OF Muskogee is
highly commendable and in the song
of praises that will come from the
Territory press she will reap ten-fold
the cost of the editors meeting. The
next annual meeting will be held at
South McAlester.

THE ODD FELLOWS PICNIC.
A Crowd Of Several Hundred Enjoy.
ing Anniversary Day.

Today was Oddfellows day in this
portion of the country. The eighty
fourth anniversary of the order was
celebrated by Ardmore lodge No 8
with a picnic at their park on what
is known as 'Tater Hill, near Prov
ence. Many members from other
lodges were in attendance.
The morning was cool, very cool
indeed for a picnic day but Oddfel-
lows are not easily disheartened, and
the bracing air rather gave vim to
the occasion.
The regular anniversary services
were performed by Grand Secretary
Alexander and Past Grand Master /.
r. Mason.
Hon. p. B. II. Shearer was intro
duced and made an eloquent address.
Dinner hour was announced and in
true picnic style il was enjoyed with
a relish by everybody. Being a basket
picnic, every one was expected to
take their own Yictuals. OF course
some did not, but there seemed to be
plenty for all, and If any one failed
to get dinner it was simply because
they did not join with those who had
IL.
The usual cold drink, pop corn and
other stands were in full bloom. as
was the flying jenny and the dance
platform Indeed there was amuse-
ment for old and young, and the
gathering was a most harmonious one.
Everything was in full blast when
this writer left at l o'clock.
The Ardmore band rendered some
excellent music, but the crowning
piece was Dixie" which gave every
one an appetite for dinner.
Thus the first picnic ever held on
'Tater Hin becomes history.
