OF THANKSGIV-
By the Governor of Arizona.

The mention of Thanksgiving always recalls tender memories of the past. Recollections of family reunions at the old homestead on that day, as far in the past as memory can go, are irresist- ible. The sad and the gay, sorrow and pleasure, are so blended in these tend. CT memories that the day; has become sacred in the American heart.
 According to time honored and ap- proved custom; the president of the United States has by his proclamation designated Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, 1905, as Thanksgiving Day." .-s 45 , @
 Therefore, I, ,'Joseph;H H. ,Kibbey, gov enor of Arizona, do hereby proclaim Thursday, the thirtieth day of Novem- Der, 1905, to be Thanksgiving Day"I a day of thankfulness to Almighty God for His manifold blessings, and I re- commend it's observance as such by the people of Arizona.

 THE DESERT DEUCE.
 Referring to the break in the bank of the Colorado at the low CT intake of the Imperial canal, whereby the entire river is now diverted into the Salton basin, MT. Lippincott said many seri- ous engineering problems were occasioned by it, but,h believed the efforts now being made to turn the river back into it's old channel would prove successful, as the interests involved were so great as to make it imperative that the overflow be stopped. He said there were some who believed it would not. The con- ditions which had brought about the change in the course of the river, he said, were partly due to the work of man and partly to the clements. When the open ing in the bank was made by the California Development Compa ny, without the installation of any headgates it was not fore seen that the flood of the present year would come along and widen the breach so that the en- tire river would change it's course.
 President Campbell and others joined in the discussion as to the probabilities of turning back the flood and the general opinion was expressed that it would be diff cult to restore the old order of things, but the situation was not as without hope.

THE ROCK ISLAND
To Build From the Atlantic to the Pacific---BrunSwick, Ga.,
 to San Diego, Cal.

The following letter to aSan Diego man, published in the San Diego Sun, was written by a prominent business man of the middle west, who is not only in close business touch with the Rock Island, but is also a per sonaf friend of some of them:
 I have your favor of the 2nd relative to the extension of the Rock Island system to San Diego, Cal.
 "The information came to me through a railroad official in this city, who is in- timately acquainted with the vice pres ident of the Rock Island. The said vice president told my friend that it was the intention of his company to ex- tend their line through to the Pacific coast by way of Fl Paso at the earliest possible date.
 < "By looking at the map you will note that the acquisition of the Fl Paso Southwestern Railway by the Rock Island system gives it direct route to San Diego. Surveys have been made in the interest of the Rock Island from Phoenix to Yuma and from Yuma to San Diego. That great system has also recently acquired, so it is reliably re- ported. the Great Atlantic and Bir- mingham, which gives it an outlet to the Atlantic at Brunswick, Ga., deep water seaport. When the gap between Amarillo, Texas, and Tucumcari, New Mexico, is completed and the line ex- tended from Fl Paso to San Diego, the Rock Island system will have contin- uous line from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, tapping the great cotton belt at the south and affording it an outlet to both oceans for the export of the raw product. If you will look at the map of the Rock Island system the plans I have outlined will be self-evident. The policy of the Rock Island for the last two years fully bears out the prediction that it will have a transcontinenta line from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the near future.
 kindly let me hear from you from time to time.

a velocity of three feet per sec ond. The main canal on the Arizona side will be fifty feet wide at the bottom and have a depth of eight feet.
 One of the hardest engineering problems involved in the build ing of this canal is to carry it across the Gila river. It has been decided to carry it under the river by means of an invert- ed siphon consisting of three tubes, each ten and one-half feet in diameter. The tubes will be 320O feet in length and be con- structed of reinforced concrete. The current in the siphon will have a velocity of five feet per second, which is thought to be sufficient to prevent the tubes from being clogged with silt.
 MT. Hamlin also gave a tech nical description of the levees to be built to protect the irrigated area from the overflow of the Colorado and Gila rivers. The first twelve miles of the Yuma levee, he said, are now under construction, the contractors be. ing Miller & Peasley. At low water the flow of the Colorado river amounts to about 5000 sec ond feet; at maximum high water, about 95, 900 second feet. It is proposed to divert about 1900 second feet for the Yuma irrigation project now under way.
 At the close of his address MT. Hamlin answered many questions propounded by engi neers in the audience.
 MT. Lippincott began his ad- dress with an explanation of the general terms of the national ir- rigation law enacted by congress June 17, 1902. He characterized this as a most unusual law, as it provides not only for the recla nation of arid public lands, but also of private holdings. It takes out of the hands of con- gress and places in the hands of the secretary of the interior large and unknown sum of money to be used as he may direct. All funds derived from the sale of public lands are placed in the hands of the secretary of the in terior for the irrigation of the lands. It is practically a loan to the settlers, as the money ad- vanced is to be repaid in ten an- nual payments. It is the intent of the law that irrigation works constructed by the reclamation service, or secretary of the in- terior, at the end of ten years be turned over to the land owners to be operated on the coopera- tive plan.
 MT. Lippincott then went on to state that most state and pri- vate irrigation projects for the sale of water had proved a fail ure, and that the greatest suc- cess was achieved by the coop erative companies operated sole ly for the benefit of the lands and crops produced. The prop osition was to absolutely attach the water as an appurtenance to the land, and not as a commodity to be sold.
 Many interesting statistics were given by MT. Lippincott as to the possibilities of retaining lands in the valley of the Colo rado, the areas to be reclaimed, the probable cost, etc. He dwelt on the importance of storing the flood waters of the upper Colo rAdo and stated that if the two

DEVICE A LIFE SAVER
ENGINEER J. A. HICKS HAS IM-
 PORTANT INVENTION.
It Supplements the Westinghouse Air~ brake amd steps a Trafn--MOnt- g0mery Man Secures
 Patent.

The finest thing in all the world IS to save human being from death; to do away with one of the primary causes that would bring about the possibilities of that death Is the most inestimable boon vouchsafed to man kind.
 The most prolific sources of death known are railroad wrecks. As long as there shall be railroad trains these accidents will occur, and while. or course. it is an impossibiiity to elimi- nate them entirely yet an invention just perfected by James 4. Hicks, a locomotive engineer. running between Montgomery and Atlanta has reduced the danger of these accidents 70 minimum, The invention is an extra airbrake valve in addition to the Vest inghouse system and designed to pro- tect that system when the automatic airbraises fail to work.
 In the upper story of the master me- chanic's office at the Western Railway shops in North Montgomery is com plete airbrake plant showing the workings of the system from the loco- motive back through any number of cars that may be put in train.
 Yesterday morning Mir. Hicks gave an Advertiser representative an inter. esting example of the practical work ingg of the airbrake system, Tn con- junction with the Westinghouse valve Is the Hicks invention, "The Interme- diate Safety Triple and Straight Air Retaining Valve" The device does not interfere with the Westinghouse system in the slightest. On the con- trary 1t protects that system In It's en- tirety. The invention cannot be used until the failure of the Westinghouse automatic brakes to work. When the automatic brakes for any reason dc not work the Hicks invention comes to the rescue and will stop a train with the same facility that the automatic brakes would have done had they been in good working order.
 The straight air attachment invented by Mir. Hicks can be worked by the controls the automatic brakes and it not only doubles the confidence of the man at the throttle but throws double protection and safeguard around the lives of the hundreds of passengers in the train and the thousands of dollars worth of property belonging to the railroad company.
 You know it sounds rather laugh able to railroad men," said Mir. Hicks while he was showing the workings of the airbrakes, ''to read in newspaper accounts of wrecks that the brave en- gineer stuck to his post in the face of horrible death which he knew was inevitable Unless man is very crazy or very drunk he Is not going to de- Iiberately kill himself, and after an engineer has exhausted every effort to stop his train and finds that the air brakes refuse to work 1t is hardly hu- man nature for a man to stay In his engine when he knows that by staying

 there he cannot possibly avert the hor. rible collision that is coming
 sNow when tho automatic brakes fail to work thts invention of mtus comes into play, and with tho sarns lever that he used to apply the West inghouse brakes the engineer can work my straight air device and stop any kind of train with the same power and as thoroughly as the automatic brakes formerly did"
 During the test that followed the Hicks invention certainly did in the atrbrake plant everything claimed for it, and If it can bring heavy train to 8 stop Mir. Hicks has solved the air brake problem with what he calls the missing link"
 Mr. Hicks has been working on the invention for something over two years. Realizing that something was missing in the Westinghouse system he began working on valve fnak would stop train even after the au- tomattc brakes had failed to work. He has built six different valves and while each of them did the work he was not satisfied that they were just exactly what he wanted.
 He is now working on a valve that he considers perfect in every detail and is willing for the invention to stand examinations before the most expert mechanical engineers in the United States.
 President Charles A. Wickershan of the Western Railway has an interest in the invention. and as soon as the present valve is perfected. which will be- in about a month, there will be a public test before a number of experts either iii Pittsburg or New York city. A patent for the United States has ai- ready been granted and patents arm pending for England, Germany and Canada.

CAR LINE LITIGATION
SHALL FERRY STREET TRACKS BE
 TORN UPs
Supreme Court severses Chancellor Parks and Remands the Traction Cempany's Case for .
 New Trial.

Chancellor w. L. Parks of the South eastern division, will again have to near the case of tho Montgomery County Board of Revenue against tho Montgomery Traction Company. which has been pending since the mid-sunl- msr of 1903, and will determine whether the Perry Street car line will continueSto be operated or the fran chtse revoked and the tracks torn up.
 This is the result of a decision of the Alabama Supreme Court handed down yesterday. The opinion was written by Justice N. D. Denson, He held the same way in which the Su- preme Court the first time treated the appeal from the, Chancery Court of Montgomery County. The decree of tho Chancellor. dismissing the case, was reversed and the cause was re- manded for another hearing, the court holding that the case was mooted one.
 In the latter part of 1909 the Mont- gonery Traction Company, at the be- ginning of its career. secured fran chise from the Montgomery County Board of Revenue on certain condi- tions to lay tracks on the line now known as the Perry Street line. One of the main provisions was that the cor poration should gravel certain sections of the street traversed between the side of the track and the curbing. It was alleged that the car company failed to come up to this and other re- quirements and the Board of Revenue in the summer of 1903 gave notice to the Traction Company that the fran- chise had been annniied-
 Soon afterwards the Board passed an order for the tracks of the ear line to be torn up. To forestali this, the company secured an injunction against the Board which has been in effect all the subsequent time. The line has been in constant operation since. Efforts have been made to dissolve the in- function, but they have failed so Tar. The case was heard in sthe Chancery Court once before when a decree was issued and an appeal taken therefrom. The Supreme Court held that it was mooted case. and on the second appeal sustained itself. remanding the cause to the Chancery Court.
 1t now looks as if the controversy will be tried in the court on its own merits as there has been already over two years of legal sparring.

APOLOGY OF ALDERMEN
MAYOR TEAGUE IS CANDID AS TO
 SALARY MEASURE.
He Says He Has no Complaint over veto of His Message to Coun- ell, and No Further Ex-
 plantation.

Mayor W. M. Teague does not think the newspapers are the proper channels for the '.transaction' of the business of the city of Montgomery, and he so ex- pressed himself yesterday at his of- flee.
 these matters grows out of the passage by the Council on Monday night of the salary ordinance despite his veto of the measure, and the subsequent publica- ton of cards in The Advertiser by sew eraf Aldermen explaining why they east their votes for the passage of tho saI- ary ordinance after the Mayors veto had been received by the Council.
 Mfr. Teague was yesterday asked by an Advertiser representative if there was anything he desired to say in re- gard to the passage of the ordinance over his veto.
 in these matters" said the Mayor, "but have no statement to make because do not think the columns of a newspa- per are the proper place for transacting the city's business If the Aldermen wish to apologize to their constituents or the people of Montgomery for their votes cast on the salary ordinance, have no objections to their using the newspapers. My veto message on this ordinance is self explanatory.
 The salary ordinance was adopted over the head of the Mayor by a vote of i: to 4. In his veto message Mayor Teague said the proposed ordinance would increase the running expenses of the city government approximately $S,- 500 a year in the face of an annual de- ficit of $65,000.
 The ordinance raises the salaries of many of the city officials.

After a chase lasting several hours Ed. Young, a negro, was shot and prob ably fatally wounded by Constable T.. B. Clements of West End. yesterday morning.
 During the chase Jim smith. negro. who had been robbed by Young, re- ceived q painful blow on tho head with q rock hurled by the fleeing negro.
 Jim Smith. who lives on the Roque- more plantation on tho Wire RoAd about Ave miles from Montgomery, swore out a warrant Wednesday night against Ed Young charging him with burglary and grand larceny. He aI- stole a valuable shot gun and some wearing apparel. Yesterday morning Constable Clements of Justice W. A. Taylor's court. before whom the war rant was sworn out, accompanied by Smith. went In search of the negro. He was traced to the Tom Robinson place on the Wire Road. where he had sold the negro caught sight of Young about hundred yards further down the road and the chase began.
 The negro finally took to the swamp, hctfy pursued by the constable and Jim Smith. The constable was left behind in the chase and Young succeeded in hiding. Jim Smith. coming up on the PidCS tuaWafCSs was StEuCh forcib1y on the head by a rock thrown by the pursued negro.
 Clements came up on tho bleeding negro and gave him his pistol. telling him to continue the pursuit while he would endeavor to head the negro off on the road The constable on reach ing the road overlook Mir. Arthur Ty- son, prominent planter. in his buggy The horse was urged forward and af- ter riding short distance Clements again alighted, taking with him a Winchester rife. He caught sight of Young in the brush and called to him repeatedly to halt. Tho negro contin- ued running. The ofiice says he then decided to shoot at the negro's leg. He fired. The ball struck the left leg. just where the leg joins the body. The bullet ranged upward and 1t is thought that the abdomen was pierced.
 The negro was brought to the Coun- ty jail and was then hurried to St. Margaret's Hospital, where reports in- dicate that he is in q desperate con- dition.
 Constable Clements reported to the County jail but no arrest was made.
