the plain below in the mountains to
gorge or canyon.
Meterologic Il conditions in this
region are entirely different from
those of lower levels and the precipi-
tation is equal to that of Ohio or any
eastern state. The area drained by
these rivers would make ten average
Ohio counties, and by throwing a
dam across this canyon n, xt to the
largest artificial bod of water in
the world will be formed.
The largest artificial body of water
in the world is created by the d im

almost b flied engineering skill in
Egypt, nature has very kindly almost
performed for Arizona, and the
mountains have formed a natural
reservoir, which will only require the
stopping of a narrow Canyon.
At the point where the dam Is con-
structing the gorge is only 200 feet
wide at the bo tom and 700 feet at
the top, and wall Of masonary $50
feet thick at the base, Is feet at the
top and about 300 feet high will make
the fill. This seems a trifling tack

exercise of no little enRin 'ering skill
If some Titan hand wer to lift the
20-stnry Masonic Temple in Chicago
off it's foundation and set it down in
this chasm, he would have to hunt
around until he could find half a
dozen more buildings as large, before
he would have a pile equal in size to
the masonry of the Tonte dam. A
wall of water twice as high as the
court house will be held back, and
across the top of this gigantic wall
dri eway will run sufficiently wide
to allow the passage of team.
In planning the cam an almost in
sur,nouutable dificu ty presented it,
self in the enormous cost Of cement

again met by a resort to water power
A canal 10 miles long is being con
structed which will bril- e water 10
the site on level with the top of tn
dam and develop a twelve hundred

this water power will take a year in
itself, and will have to be completed
before work on the dam can COM

years, but when completed the water
problem of Salt River valley will be
solved, and a portion of the desert
equal to the entire amount now un-
der cultivation in this county will be

The disabling and d struction of
so many torpedo boats. cruisers and
war ships at the harhOr II Port Ar

the manage ment of the Russian
feet, has given rise 20 much specula-
ton in military and naval circles.

marine boats, dec ares that most
of the Russian vezst Is damaged were
not torpt dotd by the Japanese, but
that in their haste 20 get back into

nese war ships they colliCed with

Others think that nihilists in the

through rates can be obtained from
southern Arizona points, New Mex
leo and Texas to Los Angeles, or
San Diego, and yet, by agreement,
the cattle may be brought as far as
Maricopa, then shipped to this
valley to be fattened, and this pro-
cess completed, shipped on, the
only extra charge being the local
rate from Maricopa. The valley
will now probably get more out
side cattle to feed than ever,
though, in the past few years,
nearly all the available feed has
been sold to the cattlemen who
have brought their cattle in. But
it will permit southern Arizona
cattlemen to compete more closely
with local growers in prices for tat
cattle.
Range News: Two more lives
have been forfeited to the bitter
feud of the sheepmen and cattle
owners of the border. Advices just
received here give scant particulars
of the killing of Williams M.
Berry, Jr., and Tod Ganzales, sheep
herders. by cattlemen while attend
ing to their focks just over the
Arizona boundary. Berry was IN
charge OF his fathers flock and was
assisted by the young Mexican
boy. A dead line" indicated by
small creek had been designated
by the cattlemen as separating the
sheepmen from forbidden ranges,
and this was crossed by the young
herders. Cowboys lay in wait for
them and killed them, firing a
number of shots into the bodies OF
the young men. There is intense
feeling between the owners of sheep
on the one hand and cattlemen on
the other. The murderers OF the
sheep herders were followed by
deputy sheriffs and it is reported
that they were apprehended. The
cattlemen are said to have collected
big purse for the defense OF the
assassins.
