WASHINGTON, April 11.--A few
days ago the secretary of interior
let the contracts for the largest irri-
cation reservoir dam in the world.
1t is to be called the Roosevelt
dam. Near it is a new town, also
called Roosevelt. Both are situated
in Arizona, about 10 miles above
Phoenix, on the Salt river, near its
junction with Tonic creek.
This dam is the main feature of
one of the largest of the government
irrigation projects. 1t is located in
a canyon of the Salt river, just below
its junction with the small tributary
above named. 1t will be 270 feet
high. 21O feet long, 1865 feet thick

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
United States pension Office is con-
siderably embarrassed by the efforts
of a number of pensioners lately to
give up their pensions. The situa-
ton Is said to be entirely novel. and
the law does not provide for such a
contingency. These pensioners are
sending in their certificates, with let
tiers stating that they are not entitled
O draw this allowance from the gov
eminent and asking to be stricken
from the pension rolls.
1t is learned that by far the largest
number Of pension resisners are men
who claim to have been healed Of
their physical disabilities by Chris
tian Science. Two cases proved to be
attempts of husbands, who were sep
arated from their wives. to deprive
their wives of the half of the pension
which the wife was drawing. When
these pensioners found that they
would be permitted to give up their
own half, but not their wives share,
they recanted.
attention of the department was that
of Robert Waddell of West Mitchell
Ia. He wrote to Washington, send
ing his pension certificates, and ask
ing that his name be dropped from
the rolls, as he had entirely recovered
from the disabilities which were the
ground for granting his pension. He
said he had been cured by Christian
Science. The pension office officials
suspected the man of mild form of
insanity and sent a special examiner
to Iowa to look into the case.
The records showed that the origi-
nal medical examination had shown
the applicant to be suffering from
"malarial poisoning and its results
among which were enumerated "stom-
ach, liver and kidney trouble affect
ing the heart. together with frequent
rheumatic conditions" On this show
ing Waddell was drawing S1i n

the leading people of West Mitchell,
and found no doubt among his fellow
townsmen of Waddell's sanity. and
finally Waddell was himself examined
and required to give his deposition
The examiner reported to the Wash
irrton office that the man was all
fight, and evidently quite well, and
accordingly entitled to give up his
pension, and he was accordingly
dropped from the rolls.
Ssince then John Warner Keys, a
dentist of Washington. ID, c.. has
surrendered his certificate emitting
him to s2t month pension. His
reason Is similar to that OF Robert
Waddell, namely. that he has been
healed by Christian Science and mas
no right. as a we'll man. to be draw
ing debility pension. Dr. Keys Is
an active member of the Christian
Science church of Washington. and
well known in the community
The pension office is not disposed
to encourage the surrender or pen
sions. Commissioner warner ex-
nresses his belief that the law did
not contemplate the surrender or the
pension, any more than II did the
recovery of the veterans from the
physical ills which they might have
contracted In the service. In order
to discourage this recent and growing
practice It will be the future policy
of the Office to decline to make public

claim they build their houses and do
what they can to comply with the
law IN regard to bringing half of
the S0-acre tract under cultivation.
OF course, they can grow nothing
until they have the water, and it is
required by law that they live on the
land. SO they start with a rather dry
and tedious prospect.
They figure that when the water
does come they will have the pick

THE CONVENTION.

Notwithstanding the Republican
County convention is to be held tonight
there does not seem to be very" much
settled yet as to who are likely to be
the nominees. There is a good strong
fight on for sheriff, and there are at
least two candidates for Treasurer,
Gerrit p Wilder having been brought
out today and developing a good deal
Of strength within a short time after
his candidacy was announced. There
have been names mentioned for most
of the other Offices but some Of the best
mon who have been mentioned i'm con-
nectiOn with these, have announced
that they are not candidates, and will
not accept nominations.
Undoubtedly the feeling that the coun-
ty act may not stand the test of the
courts has something to do with this
bacSwardness Of men in coming for
ward for these offices. And yet, that
ought not to be allowed to sway or
dissuade good men from accepting no
limitations. The act may prove valid.
If it should, the men who are elected
on June 20, will be the men who will
put the act i'm operation, and they ought
to be the best men that we have i'm
the county.
There is a heavy responsibility rest
ing upon the delegates to the conven-
ton tonight, and not upon them alone,
but upon every Republican who has the
best interests of the Territory and of
the county at heart.
1t is to be hoped that there will be
!, oh
will command the approval and the
confidence Of the responsible voters
and taxpayers of the county, and
which will be worthy of victory a
month hence.

The Democrats of the second con-
gressional district of West Virginia,
have nominated Col. Thomas B. Davis,
a brother of the late Democratic Vice
Presidential candidate, for congress.
Col. Davis doesn't want the nomination
and told the convention so, but ac-
cepted it out of gratitude to the party
for the honors it had heaped on him
self and his brother The democrats
are said to have forced the nomination
on him because they think he will open
his purse-strings and make a lively
campaign. That's what was thought
when his brother was nominated for
vice-president last summer, There are
