THE SALT RIVER RESERVOIR.
The Preliminary Work ls We'll Under Way.
 Contracts About to be Let

Louis c. Hill, of the geological sur vey, supervising engineer for the con- struction of the Salt river irrigation works, is in town today.
 Mir. Hill informs us that the pre- liminary work in the basin is pro- gressing. The excavations and foun- datiOns for the cement mill are well advanced and will be completed by the last of February.
 The cutoff road from beyond the summit on the Globe and Livingstone road to the dam, will be completed about the middle of next month. It will shorten and make very much cas- fer the haul from Globe to the dam.
 The saw mill on the Sierra Ancha has been running for some little time and is now furnishing 5000 to 5000 feet of lumber day. There have been 5000 brick burned near the dam and another kiln has been started.
 Water works to supply water for domestic and steam purposes are be- ing constructed and will be finished about February b. Excellent water is taken from a spring in Cottonwood canyon, and will be piped three miles in ls and 2-ipch pipes, to the 4O,0OO gallon reservoir above cement mill and distributed in finch pipes to the cement mill and other works. The pressure will be about l50 pounds to the square inch.
 Mir. Hill thinks the contract for the diversion tunnel has been let, although he has not been officially informed of the fact, and he expects to hear at an early date of the letting of the con- tracts on the power canal. Another month will probably witness much ac- tivity in the Salt river basin.
 MT. Hill is making preparations to move his family to the river at an early date.
 Mir. Hill does not credit the report that the cement for the construction of the dam will be furnished by man. ufacturers. A considerable quantity of cement for use in the construction of the power canal and other prelim- mary work will have to be purchased, but much the larger part for building the dam will in all probability be manufactured by the government at the site.

For twenty-five years before the
Iron County Bank was founded,
the treasurers of the county depos-
tied the public funds in the st.
Louis banks for safe-keeping, on
exactly the same terms that they
are now placed in the home insti-
tution-without interest and sub
ject to daily check. Holding, as it
does, from individual depositors,
double the amount OF money it can
use, why should it pay interest for
still further deposits? There is no
law whereby the county court can
compel banks to receive and pay
interest on money for which they
have no use, and the institution
that did it>voluntarily would soon
close it's doors.

considerable time and study in the
old Jerusalem. 1t is not only an
accurate reproduction, but is a

About C~PeamePies.

Ed. Register to an
article upon ~creameries, headed
"Another Swindle," in a late issue
of your paper, the worst feature
about that article was conveying
the idea that all creameries are
swindles. | don't suppose that
such was really meant, and yet
that is what the average country
newspaper reader would see in it.
Hands off! Don't touch a cream
cry! Your article, however, is not
without some truth, and yet no
man or community need be led
astray if they go into the matter
as they should. Our Uncle Samuel
has provided a place of advice for
all creamery inquirers, viz, our
State Experiment Stations and the
Industrial Departments of u rail-
way systems, and when a cream
cry promoter SHES his castor in
your community, come to the Iron
Mountain and Southern R'y Dairy
Department and l will guarantee
you fair and honest treatment.
You can also apply to the United
| States Experimental Station at the
University of Missouri, Columbia,
Mo-, and they will advise any one
what to do and how to proceed.
Now that | have said this much, |
want you to kindly allow me a few
words more, viz: That of all the
industries, business establish
ments, no matter what the kind,
there is absolutely not one that
would be of so much value to the
entire community in I%ronton, Pilot
Knob or Arcadia as a first-class,
up-to-date creamery. You have
an ideal dairy country in every
particular. No exceptions can be
made, unless it be lack of energy
and business push. But I mean
just what | say-there is positively
no industry that your Valley could
father that would pay the COM
munity one-half so well as a
creamery. Yours, Truly,
w. A. DOUGHERTY,
Dairy Agent.

TAKE the following from

l TAKE the following from a
Especial" dated Ironton, Sept.
Oath, to the Globe Democrat:
For more than thirty years a
Democratic ring has ruled this
county with a rod of iron, ad-
ministering its affairs regardless
of public welfare and with only
the most selfish Of interests in
view.
The sweet-scented correspond
ent who penned the above is a
political adventurer whose first
acquaintance with Iron county be-
gan a few years ago; who shook
the dust of the county from his
feet about eighteen months since,
and who returned less than a
month ago at the behest of men
desiring to use him in furtherance
of their spiteful purposes. He is
their creature, bound to carry out
their wishes, and dares not voice
himself contrary to their order.
He is not a citizen of the State or
county. He is a hide-bound Re-
publican who hates the name of
Democrat, and no doubt loves the
work assigned him-the villifying
of men the latchets of whose shoes
he is unworthy to unloose. This
fellow - this would-be political
swashbuckler, with no vested in
terest in the community except
the ''plant" given him in return
for the prostitution of whatever tai
emit he may have-dares to asperse
the living and desecrate the menu
ory of the deadI "For more than
thirty years. he says, ga Demo-
cratic ring has ruled this county
with d rod of iron, administering
its affairs regardless Of the public
welfare and with only the most
selfish interests in view" He
makes no exception in the roll OF
officials serving the people all
those years; all, all, were ring
sters and consequently faithful
only to their own selfish interests
-unfaithful to their several trusts.
Many Of them are sleeping the
sleep that knows no waking, and
ought to be secur from a~spersion,
Some Of them would have honored
any community, even though /,
was located in Kansas or Iowa,
