SALT RIVER VALLEY
 MAGAZINE MENTION
E. ". Blachmer in October Number
 Pacific Monthly.

F. w. Blackmar in the October mum 7 Der of the Pacific monthly. has a very interesting and truthful article on The Reclamation Service Tn the Sal River Valley" While there is nothing in it that will be new to Phoenix read CTS it is a plain statement of facts that will furnish valuable information to those living in other parts who desire to investigate conditions here either for adding to the sum total of their knowledge of things or with a view to settlement and investment.
 The article is not a long and tire some one and it is well illustrated with pictures of Roosevelt and damsfte scenes. The text is boiled down to a plain statement of facts. Most or the article is confined to a description of the construction work at Roosevelt though the valley and it's productive ness, area and possibilities is describ- ed in a general way. Referring to the lands in one paragraph the writer says: While there are no available government lands, there is unimproved land under water rights that may be purchased for $50 per acre. It is es- timated that there are about 15O00 acres of this land lying around Glen dale; also improved farms with water right that can be purchased from S1OG to S125 per acre. Considering the fer ulity of the soil, and the prospect of the increased water supply these lands are reasonable, for when the irrigation system is once established these lands will easily pay 20 per cent net income on the valuation of S2OO per acre.
 In closing the article MT. BIackmar writes of the reclamation service as follows: Tn closing this brief sketch the writer would like to note that the reclamation service of the federal gov

singular positions, but the most re-

darker and more distinct when they
fall asleep. Occasionally the pattern
of their coloratlon is entirely changed

A STRANGE CIPHER.
The Message on the Bridge and tn
Fall of StraSnbure

The Message on the Bridge and the
Fall of StrassburG.
The word that Strassburg was ready
to capitulate to the French in 1851 was
transferred from that city to Paris by
a strange cipher, which, though not so
rapid as a modern telegraphic message,
was as effective.
Secret negotiations had been going
on for some time with the magistrates
Of Strassburg, and one day the French
minister summoned young man NAM
ed De Chamilly and gave him the fol-
lowing strange instructions:
start tonight for Basic, in Switzer-
land, which you will reach in three
days. On the fourth day at 2 o'clock
sharp station yourself on the bridge
over the Rhine. with paper for taking
notes and pen and ink. Watch all that
takes place and write down carefully
every detail. Do not leave the bridge
for two hours, and do not let one thing
that transpires escape your notice.
Have horses awaiting you. At sharp
A o'clock start for Paris and travel
night and day until you reach 1t. On
the instant of your arrival bring me
your notes"
De Chamilly obeyed, reached Basic
on the day and hour appointed and
took up his position on the bridge.
For time nothing happened. Then
wagon rolled slowly across the
bridge, and presently an old woman
with basket of herbs followed it. An
old man posted by on his horse, a cou-
pie OF children gathered flowers in a
nearby field, and o'clock chlmed from
a neighboring tower Still De Chamil-
ly waited. and his pen scratched of
each incident as it occurred -Four
O'Clock began Ginning, and at the first
stroke tall fellow in yellow brooches
ambled out on the bridge, lounged over
the rail and then suddenly, taking a
step backward, struck three sound
blows on the bridge with a heavy cane
that he carried. And De Charnilly not

The clock ceased striking. De Cha
milly turned and vaulted on his horse
Two days later he presented himself to

The latter glanced over the notes

Strassburg was surrounded by French
troops, and on Sept. 80 it's gates were
thrown open in surrender.
Evidently the three strokes of the
stick given by the man on the bridge
were the signal Of an intrigue between
the French minister of war and the
magistrates of Strassburg. No doubt
the man in the yellow breaches was as
ignorant Of the motive of his act as
was De Chamilly Of the reason of his

Sue slowly. "Just for trespassers.
