THE YUMA DESERT
 IT'S RECLAMATION
RECLAMATION OF YUMA DESERT GREAT WORK NOW IN
 PROGRESS.

One of the most difficult irrigation undertakings of the present day is the proposition to transform S5,000 acres of the arid Yuma desert into fertile farming land. The United States Reclamation Service has award ed the contract for this work to J. G.. White & Co.,, Inc.
 The project presents almost insur- mountable difficulties in many ways. The nearest town is the city of Yuma, located twelve miles down the Cobra do river. Suitable drinking water is extermely scarce, and the summer temperature on the Yuma desert rang es from 100 to 120 degrees. A mod ern camp will be built, and will be con- trolled by special officers employed by the contractors, or by the govern ment police of the Indian reservation. 1t will be equipped with a complete --essIiigge-.-t.ng system to provide ice and cold storage.
 The transportation difficulties will be overcome to a great extent by the use of a thirty foot gasoline launch to run as an express boat between the dam and the city of Yuma. Barges and other floating equipment will be used to transport the heavy supplies. At the dam will be located complete telephone and telegraph systems. so that constant communication may be had with the city of Yuma.
 At a point where the Colorado river
Bisbee daily review., 1905-08-18

forms the dividing line between the State of California and the Territory of Arizona, a dam one mile long will be built across the river. It will ex- tend completely across the valley, and will have a sluice way at either end which will be connected with the main arteries of the system of iTrigating canals. Under ordinary conditions the Colorado river at this point is about a quarter of a mile wide but the flats on either side are frequently flooded by high water. This is es- pecially the case during the early sum- mer months when heavy floods are caused by melting STOW in the noun tains.
 The contractors estimate that the work will require the removal of over 30O,0O0 cubic yards of solid rock ex- cavation, and 3O0,OOO cubic yards of lighter material. The rock will after wards he used for filling in the dam. The three vertica concrete core walls in the interior of the dam will re- quire 30,0O0 cubic yards of concrete and 5O,0O0 linea rfeet of sheet piling. ]A6AANg AnDuodAu NublI rus DA ADNh paving three feet thick will be needed to complete the face of the dam.
 Very little work can be done during the time of heavy floods, and the con- struction is to be pushed rapidly this fall and winter so that the dam may be finished before the wet season of 1906. To facilitate construction, large orders have already been placed for prompt shipments of the elaborate equipment necessary to successfully complete the work. Construction will be Supervised by specially trained men who will act under instructions from their New York office. As in dicative of their determination to fin ish this great work within the year, it is interesting to know that work was

furore in England, and his method was followed by every jockey of any consequence who came after him.
 The future was rosy for him and he exercised" his money. He could not spend 1t as fast as he earned it, but he did not hoard it, by any means, and when the rainy days came they found him without a waterproof.
 The beginning of hls downfall came when he was ruled or the French turf by the stewards of the French Jockey club. The ofense alleged was exer- cising Rose de Mai, with which he won the Prix de Diane at Chantilly, without authority. Privately 1t was stated Sloane's punishment was in reality for spreading reports affecting the betting before the race. This Sloane indig- nantly denied, and he subsequently ob- tained a verdict of S25,0O0 damages against the Jockey club.
 The action of the French club barred Sloane in England, where his success had won him enemies as well as friends. When the English Jockey club DuD4lsuGQ lAE l4SA OA JDNANgo AANCA47SA to race Sloane's name was not among them. The same fate awaited him In the United States, and he found him self recognized as the best jockey in the world, but with nowhere to ride.
 Then he bacKed an opera company. losing S1O,OOO and being sued for more. Other ventures proved unproftable. In 1902 the English Jockey club so far modified the exclusion order against him that he received permission to train horses or ride at trials, but not to race. This was small consolation.
 Last fall at New Orleans he again appeared on the turf with restored privileges and as many followers as formerly. His work was, of course, watched with more interest than that of any other jockey. To the disap- pOintment of all his friends and follow CTS, # was quickly apparent that Tod had not regalned his form.
 For the Iirst time in his life he failed as Q jockey From then on his career has been full of vicissitude.

Great Joekey Needs Money, buf Can't Ger Riding
 LlcenSe.

The once peerless jockey Tod Sloane, who has been prevented from follow ing his calling as a jockey for a 2um- Der of years because he was too inde- pendent to suit a few of the English turf authorities, Is down and out hnan- cially and is making an effort to obtain license from the jockey clubs of America and England.
 Although he recently rode a few races on western tracks for Ed COrri- gan, Sloane says:
 q am anxious to secure a license to ride in the east l was not under con tract with Edward Corrlgan in the west l accepted fifteen mounts from him, six of which landed winners. did that to tide me over some little financial difficulties. For four years have been under the ban of the Eng fish Jockey club, and it was necessary for me to go to work if did not want to starve
 T think I have been punished sui fciently for whatever 1 may have done. There never was any charge of fraud against me abroad or in this country. For some reason, which have never been able to understand, the English Jockey club stewards took away my license. Since then the Rein boys, Lester and John, were punished in a similar manner, but now they are in good standing Unlike Lester Reiff, I was never ruled off Newmarket heath.
 If the English Jockey club can show clemency toward Lester Reif, think it ought to be lenient toward me and give me another chance. As the jockey club here has an under standing with the turf authorities abroad, my chance for reinstatement depends on the action of the English Jockey club stewards"

Another Peace Conference Meets.

A free exchange of views on the subject of the condition and treatment of the Jews in Russia was had here in a conference between M. Witte, baron Rosen and Oscar Strauss, Jacob H. Schiff, Isaac N. Seligman and Adolph LewisOhn, of New York, and Adolph Kraus, of Chicago.
 The statement was made by the del egation calling on the Russian envoys that nothing tangible resulted from the discussion, but future benefit was looked for The financial condition of Russia was not mentioned in the dis cussion and was not suggested as a topic of discussion, according to MT Kraus
 After the conference MT. Strauss made the following statement:
 M. Witte explained with much frankness the condition of the Jewish population in Russia, while the Amer jeans endeavored to explain to the Russians the state of public opinion in the United States and to impress them with the impatience on the part of the American people with the re- strictive and suppressive laws exer- cised by Russia against it's Jewish subjects.
 While the discussion in it's nature could not well lead to immediate prsc- tical results, the men present at the conference, which lasted several hours, believe that in the course of time and indirectly, the frank exchanges of opinion and views which have been had cannot but bear beneficial conse- quences."
 Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 17-The peace plenipotentiaries adjourned for luncheon at 12:30 having spent the entire morning discussing article nine which. it is believed, includes the ques- tion of Japan's reimbursement for the cost of the war. No agreement was reached and the commissioners pro ceeded to the following articles.
 The mornings discussion developed an absolute deadlock, agreement be- ing found impossible. The envoys de cided to place upon record their re spective views and proceed to the con sideration of article ten, which pro vides for the surreI der to Japan of the Russian warships iuterned in the far eastern waters.
