very near proving an alibi-it having been necessary for Davis and Gleason to have made an almost impossible ride in order to have been at the sheep mems camp at the time it was proved they were killed. But Davis was convicted of murder in the first degree His case was sent to the supreme court of Idaho and to the federal court of appeals. but he was beaten at every turn and the date of his execution was finally fixed, with only the possible clemency of the gov-, ernor to intervene.
 Then 1t was that Judge o. w. Powers, who had done at least as much as any other man to convict Davis, became con- vinced, largely upon the strength of new evidence discovered, that Davis was innocent. Judge Powers thereupon went before the governor of Idaho and pleaded for the communication of Davis sentence to life Imprisonment, which was granted. Later, he presented to the governor a written argument for an ab- solute pardon for Davis and this was also granted
 When Judge Powers was recently re- minded of the celebrated case he said:
 Do you know the first thing that raised a doubt in my mind as to the guilt of 'Diamondfield Jack was an old cob pipe, which was found under the wagon in which laid the bodies of the murdered sheep men? The pipe was in- troduced in evidence by the prosecution. and at the time this was done happened to be looking in the face of a witness for the prosecution, man named Bow CTS. An expression passed over this mans face which showed that he was peculiarly affected said then to one l of my colleagues that Bowers knew something about that pipe, but the others thought there was nothing to it 1 and the incident was passed over at the time. But the doubt created in my mind then helped to convince me when further evidence tending to prove Davis innocence was presented.
 Bowers, who once ran meat mar ket at Ogden, afterward confessed that 1t Was he and another man who killed the sheep men, and he told them of the old cob pipe having been knocked from his mouth in the struggle which took place. He set up a plea of seTyA defense and was acquitted Davis partner, Gleason, was acquitted before this confession was made, fact which probably helped in securing Daviss l communication of sentence"

SAN CARLOS RESERVOIR
How That Project Has Been Injured
 by its Friends.

The following letter was written by C. E. Boothe. chairman of the eXecu- tive council of the National Irrigation association, to a personal friend in Phoenix. It was not written for pub lication. but the recipient, deeming it's publication might be a good thing. se- cured by wire from the author ger
 mission to print it. It is not published in defense of anybody. but only to it. lustrate that it does no community any good to antaSoniZe these whose infiu- ence might otherwise be exerted in it's behalf. Following is the letter. which is dated in New York, January 19:
 I have just received a clipping from the Florence Blade in which the editor pays his compliments to me in a man ner which would indicate that in some of his recent peregrinations he had got full of cactus spines. His particular text seems to be based on a typographi- cal error in the Los Angeles Examiner of December 31 reporting an interview with me in which I stated that in the Salt River valley there would be event. ually replanted probably more than 100000 acres of exceedingly fertile land. It appears that paper printed it 4.0O0.- 900, clearly an oversight of the proof reader. Inasmuch as l have spent Q great deal of my time and some of my money for number of years past, and practically my whole time for the past two years, in assisting the national ir- rigation movement, and have been one of the strongest supporters of the San Carlos project, it would seem that there must be some reason for a per sonal attack on me by Editor Weedin.

BUCKEYE NOTES
Big Dam Completed and Canal Full
 of Water.

James s. Day. managing director of the Buckeye canal, is in the city and reports very pleasing condition of things at Buckeye. He says the big dam which has been under construc- tion for seventeen years is now finish ed. It is 2,200 feet long, from 50 to 75 feet wide on top and just high enough to fill the canal nicely with water. The top of the dam is a roadway almost as smooth as a street.
 ' In explanation of the setatement that the dam was finished MT. Day said it had been finished after a fashion sev- eral times, but never before in the manner that he had always contended 1t should be finished and his ideas are strictly in accord with those of J. C.. Ulrich of Denver, the companys en- gineer. All early efforts were made for the stopping of sufficient water tenn porarily for irrigation purposes. know ing that when a flood came portions of the dam would go cut and have to be replaced. It has been the idea of the present management that a good dam. one that will hold could be mada by the spending of a little money and made permanently which would be cheaper than spending a lot of money annually for repairs and taking chances on some big flood carrying the whole structure away These ideas were carried out and the result is en- tirely satisfactory. The dam is just

of the Arizona Tribune and the Flor ence Blade other than a desire to fur ther the interests of that section through the san Carlos dam project.
 The ideas of some of the people in that section are certainly very crude and peculiar. as manifested in their supposed efforts to attract support to their project.
 A man named Reppy from that sec ton was at the Ogden congress. and circulated lot of slanderous literature, with the result that he was discredited by the Arizona delegation. and sO far as I observed by everyone connected ith the Congress.
 The San Carlos project was severely let alone as result of an action of this man, for no one cared to put him self in the position of endorsing his vii tuperations by taking up his fight If Reppy had stayed at home, or even come forth and acted in a gentlemanly manner, there would have been no op position to the most friendly resolu-
 tions on behalf of that project.
 Everyone connected with our associ- ation is thoroughly well disposed to-
 ward the San Carlos project. and every thing is being done that can be to hasten the beginning of work upon it. The only retarding force is that exert ed by this Florence Blade and others like Reppy who have entered upon a campaign of abuse and mud slingiug.
 The active friends of the San Carlos project have generally become disgust ed with the p-etended leadership or be-
 half of it by these persons; and in view of the fact that there seems to be no disposition on the part of others in that section to advise a different course there has naturally been a cooling of the former enthusiasm, and little has 1 been said about it recently. although as far as I know matters concerning it have progressed as rapidly as possible. It is not improbable, however, that if these attacks continue that the friends
 of San Carlos will be Justified in with | drawing from it's support until this rear guard" is withdrawn from ac- ! ton. If Editor Weedin considers that his billingsgate is welcome to his readers or he gets any particular satisfaction out Of it. I do not know as I need to interfere.
 As the climate of Arizona has a repu- tation for its .deodo-ous effect upon | ilbAApiS SubSidICGS- lIDDiLDiy l4lt OILY | unfavorable effect would be a possible delay of the projects in that section due to the ill-adviseG action of it's strabis-

The first necessity of athletics is a sound stomach. Food is the source of all physical strength. but to extract and assimilate the strength from food requires that the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition should be in a condition of good health. What is true of the athlete is true of every man and woman; physical health and vigor de- pend upon the digestion and assimila. ton of food
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and by enabling the perfect digestion and assimilation of food, builds the body ID with solid flesh and muscle.

high enough to fill the canal. there fore it does not have the immense pressure of high dam behind it. And it is designed to be all spillway in the event of high water It is the ccm- panys purpose to care for only the regular river flow which is all sufii- cient without trying to retain flood waters. That the passing of an im- mense body of water over the top cf the dam may not injure it, it has been peculiarly constructed. The wall above, next to the pond, is rather abrupt, but not high, while from the apex os the dam it runs on a gentle slope for 50 CT 75 feet to the river bed below making a grade that in time of high water produces only rifle and allow ing the debris to be swept over it. In it's final construction a trench was dug in the river bed along what might be called the footwali of the dam, and filled with solid rocks weighing frcC2 two to three tons each. The weight of the wide low dam if it were ever moved in the slightest would rest against this heavy wall.
 Such a structure for a high dam might not be practicable, especially if it were a long one and its cost would be enormous, but under the conditions there, the company feels that it is as solid as bed rock 1t has been an eX- pensive work but it is finished and the company's returns are expected to ac- crue by lack of the hitherto annual expense. Better still. the Buckeye farmer is assured that his supply is there when he wants it, which is the all important thing for the irrigator
 The new canal head is in first-class condition as is the ample waste gate recently constructed and the canal is carrying all the water the farmers can use. Another thing that has work ed satisfactorily is the use of weirs at the headgate of each rancher so that every mans water is measured to him and a record kept. He knows when he is getting what belongs to him and so does the company. This plan was in use all last summer and worked very satisfactorily, the company hav- ing no trouble with it's patrons. There is one more improvement to be made at once and that is the construction of new diversion gates at various places along the canal. When this is completed it feels sure it will have a first-class property in the best of COR dition and affording all modern con- veniences for irrigation. The present company since acquiring this property. has spent between thirty and, forty thousand dollars in it's improvement.
