Washington, D. C.. Feb. 24, 1905.
 MT. B. 4. Fowler, President. Salt River Valley Water Users association. Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sir: I am informed that some opposition has recently developed to the suit begun for the adjudication of the water rights on the Salt river.
 This comes as a surprise to me. be- cause one of the fundamental ideas urged upon the consideration of the secretary of the interior in February 1904, for immediate action on the draft of contract then submitted was that this was a necessary preliminary to adjudication of these claims to the use of water.
 This view of the matter was dis tinctly recognized by the secretary of the interior in his letter of February 25. 1904, which was printed as a part of the draft of contract circulated prior to the election to authorize its execution by the association.
 On page : of this pamphlet the fol- lowing is found in the letter from the secretary of the interior to the director of the geological survey:
 Unless some agreement or under standing as to the distribution of all NAAC llituS dN dIldDlc DS lleSlilS of the reservoir can be arrived at so that it's use can be made uniform by one system. a conflict between the users Of the increased supply and the owners of the vested rights in the nat ural flow of the stream would seem to be inevitable.
 This language Is based upon the contract itself. the last clause of the preamble specifically stating that the present water rights have not been ad- Jhdlcated and that the water users by their articles of association have agreed upon the rules and principles by which their rights shall be deter mined.
 The first section of the contract proper proceeds upon the basis that this adjustment shall be made and that the secretary of the interior shall recognize the rights of the sharehold- CTS as determined by such rules and principles. Manifestly, the secretary of the interior regarded this adjudica. ton as the main consideration of the contract, and the failure to obtain it must in his opinion be a direct viola tion of it's terms. leaving him free of any obligations specified in it.
 You doubtless remember that last winter during the discussion of the project in this office and in the office of the secretary. some form of con-
Arizona republican., 1905-03-28

by the Water Users association to se- cure the adjudication Of water rights from Salt River in the vicinity of Phoenix.
 It was distinctly understood from the first that such an adjudication would be made at the earliest possible date. and it is a great surprise and disappointment that this policy does not meet with universal favor. I can not see any legitimate objection that any one can have to the present ad judication of water rights as this must necessarily be done at soma future time. It is necessary preliminary to any intelligent determination on the part of the association or on the part of the government as to how much water will be available for distribu tion to the lands that have been pledged for the payment of the cost of the reservoir.
 A large proportion of the lands that have been thus pledged are in tracts greater than 16O acres, and. under the terms of the reclamation act, must be sold to persons who are eligible to perfect a water right under that act No intelligent purchase or sale of such lands can be made until it is known whether or not they will be irrigated by the proposed project, and this un certainty attaches to very large pro- portion of the lands in the reclamation district. Their sale depends upon their status with regard to water rights, which cannot be settled until after a judicial decree and determi- nation as to whether they will be in cluded in the area served by the reser- voir. The sooner this adjudication is made, the longer will be the time which the owners of such lands will have to dispose of them before the delivery of water from the reservoir.
 If this adjudication is not made as soon as practicable it will be neces- sary for the government to determine in some other way the lands to be ser we'd by the reservoir which will lead to dissatisfaction and litigation, and will necessitate an eventual adjudication such as is now proposed with the de- lay and loss that such a delay will oc casion,
 I earnestly hope that no time will be lost in pressing this friendly suit to a conclusion so that the Water Users association may adopt a definite policy regarding the distribution of reservoir water.
 Very truly yours,
 (Signed) A. P. DAVIS,
 Acting Chief Engineer.

Cotton Men Unanimous.

1t is believed that when Lewis c..
Van Ripper was persuaded to write
his letter to Secretary Wilson in
which he set forth the details of the
alleged "d~octoring" of the official re.
port, there would be an immediate
response in the form Of an investiga.
tion of his assertions. and, If there
were sufficient grounds, that a new
report would be ordered. 1t is to
bring this about that the exchanges
with the support Of practically the
entire trade, are now making the de.
mand upon Mr.. Wilson. A new re.
port, it is declared, will settle oncs
and for all the question of the falsll.
cation of the June 8 statement, and DO

NEW YORK, July 22.-Believing
that the interests of the entire trade
demand either a confirmation or a
refutation of the statement that the
government report of June 3 was
false as to the decrease in acreage,
the New York and New Orleans Get.
ton exchanges have determined upon
a cooperative movement to compel
Secretary OF Agriculture James Wilson
to make a revision of the forecast.
This plan had Its inception in the
suggestion Of Atwood Violet, a
prominent broker and operator aud
a close student of crop conditions.
He addressed letters to Messrs Wal.
ter @. Hubbard and A. B%ritton, re.
spectively presidents of the New York
and New Orleans exchanges, and to
Messrs. Jordan and Cheatham. pres.
ident and vice president Of the South.
ern Cotton Growers Association, adj.
yocating concerted action which
should have as its objective the re.
compilation Of the official figures to
determine whether the percentage OF
decrease has been "%doctored," as is
generally believed. Mr.. violett's let
ter met with general approval and
now its plan is being put into execn.
tion.

Hope For Revision.

Among the local traders the news
that Secretary Wilson had granted a
hearing to representatives OF the
American Cotton Manufacturers. AS.
ISOLATION, was eagerly welcomed. In
their eyes 1t marked the beginning
of the attainment of the goal they
have set-the revision of the Ju..e
report.
The brokers profess their inability
to understand Mr.. Wilson's attitude.
In his original statement, they az,
he practically made the admission that
the department believed the acreage
report to have been falsified. If this
Is so, they ask, why is no step taken
to revise and correct the misleading
figures? Tke monthly condition re.
port Is to be issued on August 3. It's
accuracy is already being discount.
ed, since the basis for calculation is
necessarily the acreage figure, and If
this be wrong, it is argued, all com.
putations based thereon will be equal.
ly incorrect.
Bets were freely made yesterday
that the August condition report would
show a falling of from the July and
June figures. In fact, some of the
less optimistic were willing to wager
that the September figures too would
show deterioration in crop conditions.
Not until October will another acre.

HAS WORKED SUCCESSFULLY

The trip of the Central High School
team to Princeton last year evidently
proved beneficial TO the athletics Of that
university, for the Tiger alumni have
planned to send a baseball team to
Princeton next spring composed Of all
star players from the prep. schools OF
the District. This will enable the au-
thcrities of that university TO get a
lire on ali OF the promising material Of
this city from which TO choose men for
Princeton teams next year.
OF the team from Central which visit
the university last spring to play the
freshmen, four are now at Wesleyan
for the avowed purpose OF preparing for
the entrance examinations Of the fresh
man year at Princeton. II the entrance
examinations OF that university had not
been so exactino all Of those local stars
would have appeared in Orange ana
Black this fan.
The trip OF the high school team elicit
ed so much comment last year that when
the wave of reform in college athletics
swept over. the country the why's and the
wherefors OF the journey to Princeton
were investigated. but the only response
from the promoters OF the scheme was
that they were at liberty to do as they
pleas ed in the matter. This practice
does not apply alone to Princeton, but
te Wesleyan, Lafayette. Exter. anC

ington boys on the team. while th'
