RESERVATION IRRIGATION
Activities of Engineer Code of the In-
 dian Bureau.

Many readers of The Republican are interested in the work of irrigation on the Indian reservations for various reasons and particularly for the reason that these projects are being carried in under the direction of w. H. Code who calls this valley home and who is the chief irrigation engineer for the In dian bureau. Concerning Mir Codes work in the north the Daily Leader of Cheyenne. on April II, said:
 "Mr. w. H. Code, chief engineer in charge of irrigation on Indian r-ser- vations. is In the city for a few days, having arranged for a meeting at this point with Assistant Engineer w. B. Hill. who has for the past five months been in charge of the canal surveys on the Shoshone and Arapahoe reserva- tions.
 MT. Code states that the surveys are practically completed. and that active construction will be started as soon as weather conditions will per init, and that 1t will be continued for several years as rapidly as the appro- priatiOns will admit.
 "The task will be no small one as the total area of the proposed alrot- ments now being made the Indians VII approximate 15O, ,OO0 acres.
 MT. Code is en route to the Uintah reservation, Utah, where similar op- erations will be begun at an early date"

WORKING ON THE DAM.

A large force of men and teams be- gan work on the Tempe canal dam yesterday morning for the second time within the last month. The last time they had hardly started when the high water drove them away but they are in hope of better success this time. The water is all turned out of the canals and there will be none until the dam is at least partly repaired. On account of the damage to the Arizona dam there is more water where the men are working than there would be under ordinary circumstances and the work of repairing the damage is conse- quently retarded just that much. How ever they expect to have 35 or 40 teams at work in a day or two and with that number working things will go on fast.
 The river at this place has been holding it's own for the past few days and is still about 15 feet deep in the middle of the current. The repair of the Tempe dam will of course lower it some but even after the canals are taking their full share there will still be enough to make fording here a dangerous proceeding.

Man Worked Sleight of Hand Per-
 formance Yesterday.
 A man, somewhat under the influ- ence of liquor entered the Arizona Mercantile companys store yesterday afternoon and was noticed by Mir Overbeck to be looking over a suit of clothes. MT. Overbeck, not being a salesman did not pay very close at tention to the customer but thought he saw the fellow roll up a pair of pants and slip them under his coat, then continue looking over the various suits. Soon he walked out of the store and MT. Overbeck followed him a short distance when he concluded that his fears had been without cause and he returned to the store.
 A short time later the same man again entered the store and was ob- served by Mr. McNeil who inquired whether or not he wished anything. The man made no purchase and MT. McNeil advised him to move. That was before MT. McNeiI had learned of what MT. Overbeck thought he saw. As soon as he learned of the supposed theft, he went over the clothes and found that a pair of pants was miss ing. He immediately went on hunt i TOT the tnlet ana 1Ound nm Tn dyQer Bros. where K. T. Hyder was in the act of putting him out the back door. He had been in that store six times in the afternoon without making a purchase and his manner was becom- ing rather offensive to them. MT. Nc Neil followed him up after he left Hyder Bros. but could find no trace of the pants. A few moments later the ha when he bumped into Marshal Brown. The marshal suggested that he move on and a few words followed where upon MT. Brown arrested the suspect. He was searched but nothing incrimi- mating was found and he was too drunk by that time to give much of an account Of himself. He was accord ingly placed in jail to soter up.
