MASONIC LODGE IN TEN TsIN.
District Jurisdiction Asked to Author
lie the Organization.

The Grand Lodge, F. A. A. M, met at
Masonic Temple last evening. Grand Mas
ter Walker made a brief report on the cur
rent business, and the body then took up
the subject of the proposed new constitu-
ton. of the Grand Lodge, and. after con-
siderable discussion, further action was
postponed until next week.
The Grand Lodge has received an appli-
cation from American Masons in Tien Tsin,
China, for the establishment Of lodge
there, under the jurisdiction Of the District
Grand Lodge This came up for action
last night and it was decided that the
grand secretary should enter into CORE
spondence with the projectors of the pro-
posed lodge and further advise himself
concerning it. Some doubt is expressed
as to the advisa bility of establishing a
lodge so far removed from this Grand
Lodge, although there is no doubt Of the
right of the District Grand Lodge to have
supervision of such a dependency.
The consideration of the new constitu-
ton will be resumed at a session of the
Grand Lodge next Tuesday.

WALES ELUDEs THE POLICE
Toledo Officers Cannot Account for Hi
Complete Disappearance.

Ex-Deputy County Treasurer James K
Wales, whose arrest on an embezzlement
charge at Toledo, Ohio. was assured by
the officers, has not only failed to give
himself up, as had been expected, but has
eluded the whole police and detective force
of Toledo.
How one so well known could so sud
denly disappear is puzzle to the public
and police. He was seen on the streets
several times after the warrant for his
arrest was issued The county books are
being examined by experts, and 1t is the
belief in official circles that the alleged
shortages In Mr.. Wales accounts will run
up into the thousands.

JAMES PERALTA REAvlS.
He Has Another Grant Scheme, Be-
Ing HatChed In Denver
THERE'S MILLIONS IN IT.

James "Peralta') Reavis. well.
known throughout New Mexico and IA
nous in connection with the los. Span
ish land grant OF 100000 acres In
Arizona and New Mexico, is In Den
yer with a new plan for making for.
tune.
inc idea which is to make keavis a
millionaire in his old age is the con.
troll and distribution of the underflow
water on the ella and salt rivers In
Arizona. II is a relic of the old land
grant. When Reavis was investigating
the grant in 1883, he stood at the ella
buttes and with prophetic eye saw a
quarter of n century ahead, VIII II that
whole country should be populous and
productive by means of the distribu.
ton OF the water for irrigation pur-
poses. So he agitated things W. Oh ref.
erence TO the land grant, hut he also
took the precaution to file on the wa
ter rights for the two rivers. He let
the grant go. because It was too mucn
trouble to- establish his claim. hut he
held to the water right and believed all
the time that the day would come
when the water right would be the
more valuable OF the two. Now the
time is at hand.
Reavis has decided his rights to most
OF the surface water to the govern.
ment to encourage the building OF res.
ervoirs, but he nas held the und rflow
rights. Under every river there is an
underflow through the sand that is
remarkable. Reavls will build dams
across and under the river and make
this underflow rise and will sell II to
the farmers of Arizona for irrigation
purposes. At two points 1t is 1000 Gu.
bic feet per second and will irrigate
750,0U0 acres of land. The original
water right will be sold at $40 an acre.
whicA will make an annual income OF
s750,00o. There are two OF these
places. so that there will be a total
annual income OF sl,500,0O0. This is
not reckoning on the sl5,000,00O for
the original water rights, for that will
he used up in building the two dams.
Reavis is sixty years old. His hair
Is as white as snow. His eyes flash
with the hope oil his new plan, which
shall make MIN worth $4,000 900, and
then he will retire to devote himself to
rearing his twin boys.
