II millionaires are managed by no

FROM THE sALToN DESERT
Rare Tales of the Superstition Noun
tains Before the Days of
Irrigation.

1t was there on the lower Colorado
river. that Capt. Smith" found the
lame turtle. and so won its gratitude
by healing it that it returned in later
years and offered its services as an
animated ferry when the captain was
on an island threatened with rising
food. says the Technical World.
On yonder mesa, slopins upward
from Volcano springs. is the .invisi-
BILE city" where the clangor of street
car bells and all the hubbub of me-
tropolis can be heard, but where only

ton can be seen.
Near Superstition mountains is the
spring of natural gin, where the coy.
ote, the gray wolf. the fox and the
wild fowl are on perpetual debauch,
and near by is the hill from which
flows natural ink. In the same vicin-
ity is the mine of crystal. which
makes perfect pens. and the deposit
of asbestos, where one can tear on
sheets of blotting paper ready made.
1t was in the Superstition mountains
that Otto Schmidt found the invisible
serpents with glass cups on the tails
that revolved and made beautiful mu-
sic. 1t was in this desert, too, that
an ingenious Yankee found group of
camels, abandoned in early days by the
army. and by siphoning the water
from their sacks was able to irrigate
farm. while the animals piled back
and forth between the river and the
farm, ever keeping up the water sup
ply.
Now the grim valley. rendered won
derfully fertile by irrigation. is the
home of 5000 thriving people. Re-
Gently the Colorado river, breaking
through its old bounds, began again to
run into the valley which it formerly
occupied. but now great steel and
concrete dams are being built, and the
river will be forever shut out. except
as it is needed for irrigation pur-
poses.

Engineer Commissioner Biddle has under

Col. Biddle said he had not made the mat

would not DO so until the interested auto
mobilists had been given an opportunity to
present their side OF the case.

o. 50 ago an ice trust, called the American
Ice Company, was formed to control the

Great Falls and Independent ice companies.
and now keeps the houses of one OF them
closed and sells only at the other.
One of the articles in The Star declared
that this American ice trust has only one
days supply OF ice on hand. Why is this?
l am informed that there is plenty of ice
on the Kennebec and that there is some
reason for a shortage in the supply here
and the rise in price. The fact appears to
be that II costs less than a dollar a ton to
manufacture ice here and il would cost
nearly a dollar ton to freight 1t here
from Maine besides the cost of the ice there
and so, as long as they can get from SIS to
IS ton for ice which costs less than a
dollar, they refuse to bring any here which
would cost more, and so the community Is
