Thousands Of New Homes.

The direct bearing which the TOntc Basin reservoir has upon the prosper ity of the Salt River valley has ab- sorbed local attention to such an ex- tent that the great importance of other storage enterprises which the govern ment reclamation service has in hand is not generally appreciated. For ex- ample, it will be surprising for most of our Arizona readers to learn that work already determined upon and partly undey way, will create rich agricul- tural empire in the state of Nevada heretofore one of the most barren regions in the United States.
 A late bulletin from the geological survey says:
 Nevada will soon have one Of the largest and most comprehensive irri- gaticn systems ia the world where with to make it's desert lands blossom as the rose. Mir. L. H. Taylor, district engineer for the United States reclam- ation service for Nevada, has recent ly been in Washington and reports the satisfactory progress of the Trukee- Carson reclamation project, of which he has immediate charge.
 This project contemplates the utili- zation of the waters Of the Truckse and Carson rivers for the irrigation of about 375,OOO acres of sage brush des- ert in western Nevada. These lands will f,,rrisI l-o,oao+ m, de or .bo,,+ QO acres each for about 4,5OO families. IL is expected that, with the addition of the towns and villages that will nat urally spring up in the district the population of the state will be increased in the next few years by al least 6O,0OO people.
 Active construction is now in pre- gress on a main canal about S1 miles Truckee River to a large storage res-- ervoir on the lower Carson river. There the waters of the two streams will be mingled and impounded. and thence Two contracts for the construction of different divisions of this canal were made by the secretary of the interior with E. B. and A. L. Stone ccrnp1ny. and C. A. Warren & O., California contracting firms, on August 2S and September 9, 1903, respectively. Ground was broken on September H. 1903. and the work is to be finished by Novem- Der of the present year. In the mean time, surveys for the requisite system of distributing canals are well under way and the department will be ready in the spring to contract for their con- strUction. This work will be followed by the erection Of a dam which will form the reservoir on the Carson river The reservoir will have a total length of about IS miles and will ncod over 1O,CCO acres of land to an average depth of cS feet.
 The lands to be irrigated by these works aggregate about 30O,cCO acres, situated in the lower portions of the Trukee, Carson and Humboldt river basins. In the upper valley of the Truckee and Carson rivers some 75,OOO

A Public Service Performed by rlr
 TrOtt

It appears that some democrats are so narrowly partisan that yesterday they were busily finding fault with the Ton. Frank ?. 'Trott because he has disclosed a new element of danger to Arizona-the fact. namely, that cer- tain democrats, members of the house committee on territories, are support ing the movement for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as one state. MT. Trott was informed of the menac- ing situation by Congressman Under wood of Alabama. one of the demo cratic leaders in the house of repre- sentatives. and the accuracy of the in formation cannot be questioned. More over The Republicans advices from Washington. as reliable as anything can be. have made it clear that at. least two democratic members of the committee are for hooking Arizona up with New Mexico.
 Mir. Trott has performed a public service. and deserves the commenda- ton of every Ariz-aian. Democrats or republicans who are so narrow and partisan that they prefer petty politi- cal advantage to the promotion and protection of Arizonas interests are not likely to have a very sympathetic audience just now. however. and Of course Mir. Trott will not be disturbed bI criticism.
 And. We are informed. he is no longer secretary of the territorial democratic committee. His inquiry was made as a private citizan.

problem that has taxed the ingenuity of man for three or more centuries a means of reaching the north pole. Nissen believed that if his. water ball. loon could be proven nayigable he could utilize it in reaching the pole by being driven by the winds that blow across the top of the world. Men of ability have pronounced his plan not entirely unfeasabIe, and it was prob ably not more so than some of the others that have been tried and failed
 Nissen was scientist in way, and he might have been taken more seri- ously but for the fact that after he had successfully passed through the Niagara rapids he exhibited himself in a dime museum in this city at a good price per week. This fact pre- judiced scientific men who might have believed somewhat in him but for that fact, and yet the inventor of the Fool i5illersH did that, not because he was seeking cheap notoriety, but as a means for securing money to continue his scientific Investigations

of notoriety, but there is growing ID. in the city a sort of second and third generation class, whose ambition is to find method of dispensing the for tunes left them by industrious ances- tors, whose industry builded Chicago along with their personal fortunes. 5
 Chicago society of the past has not been given greatly to fads. In fact, when Chicago society looked to such women as Mrs. P. D. Armour, or Mrs. George M. Pullman as its leaders, it was a society in which ostentation fig ured not at all Now younger ele- ment is coming into control, and the frivolities of the east are being inn ported and copied. This new element has not yet been guilty of a monkey dinner.'' but such things will come.
 The latest social fadao the city is the befriending of homeless cats and dogs. 1t is a fad the Humane society will undoubtedly approve of, but that the patronesses of the new charity are more interested in what amount of space the newspapers will give to it than in the number of cats and dogs saved, goes without saying.
 Mrs. William R. Linn is one of the younger lights in the city s 40o.n but one of its leaders, and it is to her ina- tiatiye the friendless animals owe their good fortune. She started the fad by endowing ten cages in a local veterinary hospital, and others, anx- ious to, court favor with the popular society leader, have quickly followed her example. One society woman, in speaking of the charity" referred feelingly to the large numbers of poor little dogs and cats that would be saved from starvation, and added that it was the finest thing society could do.
 It is the practical middle classes who are working to save the friend less children of the streets, though they are aided in their efforts by the society leaders of the astwomen with both brains and money.

stock company career, as far back as 1851.
 Hundreds of the elder residents oi the city remember her as she was in those days of more than half 8 cen tury ago, and for many of these she has been the only attraction that would take them to the theaters dur ing the last 25 years. One of these, in commenting on the death of the aged actress, said that while he did not now approve of the theater as he did in former years he always made an exception to his rule to remain away from them when Mrs. Gilbert !. was in the city. There were many oi these older residents. some of whom had seen Mrs. Gilbert make her debut in stock company work in 1851, at Powers theater on the night of the opening of her farewell engag cement, X When she appeared before the curtain at the close Of the last act and recited that old-fashioned epilogue which be- gan with the lines:
 Dear friends in front, the curtain must not
 fall
 Until q grateful woman says good4by to all. Just think of all the kindness that | Ye got
 ofyou! I'd like to be the granny of the lot of you, there was not | dry eye arnohg al these old friends.
 TO the stage people, old and young Mrs. Gilbert was always Granny, : and they spoke. Of her with a reyer- ence. that showed their affection. She had no blood relatives, the last of the family, "a son, having died several years ago.. but she needed none to be truly mourned. for hers was family that extended throughout all the broad field of stageland.
 She was 8S years old the 21st of last October, and had been on the stage since 4S46, when she appeared as 2 ballet girl in England. She came to America in 1849, and though of inter national fame as an actress, this was the first season that she played star parts.

in New York, for the purpose of tho originators of the Chicago scheme is first, not to take the people off the streets, but to make room on the streets for the people.
 k Eventually Chicago street cars will go under ground, but before they dis appear the freight situation will ; be cared for, and, in fact, the system for handling the freight traf1c of the city is practically complete now, and the new subway company recently organ iized in the east comes into possession of a tunnel system, longer than New York's subway, that is ready for op- eration.
 ! The New York subway cost $S5, ,000.- poo to build. The company that is back of the Chicago subway has $5O,- 0OO,OeO to put into the project. Il takes over 8 company that has already expended over $50. 100000 in building more than 40 miles of tunnels fol freight traffic that are 40 feet below the city streets, leaving plenty oi room between that and the surface fol the street car tunnels that are to come later.
 Entirely different construction methods are necessary in Chicago from those, employed in New York The subway of the latter city was cu through solid granite. Chicago, or the other hand, is builded upon { marsh, with bedrock from 50 to 6t feet below the street surface. The construction of subway here means first 8 solution of the engineering problem of providing for the safety \ of the great buildings that line tn, streets under, which 1t must pass ]. With that problem solved, the actla construction of the tunnels will be- { much easier matter than it was il New York. But the first problem i not an easy one to solve.

 master solve the 'vexed" problem of what to do for the homeless dogs, while they give their attention to ex- isting evils that create diseases, and especially the evils existing in the tenement districts There is ample room in Chicago for such a crusade. The city is not so much in need of laws as it is in need of law enforcement. Dirt is the foun- dation of disease, and while the busi- ness interests of the city are making an effort to secure that cleanliness that is next to godliness in the business district, the tenement sections are en- tirely forgotten.
 There is a law in the city that makes it a misdemeanor to throw dirt into the streets. It is not enforced. The streets of the tenement districts are the dumping grounds for all sorts of refuse, and the excuse given is that Tit is a convenience for the poor peo- pie of those Gistricts.' .''
 There Is a law in the city against smoking chimneys. It is not enforced. Two-t thirds of the factory chimneys of the city pour out constant stream of black smoke and soot that must be breathed into the lungs of the people, and yet the people are called upon to pay salaries to a force of smoke in spectOrs.
 Dust is a breeder of consumption, and every wind that blows in the city sends clouds of this germ-fruited scourge into the faces of the thou sands of pedestrians on the city streets. The health crusade may be a fad, but it is a worthy one.
