The Briekwood Christmas Tree.
[communicatedl

Perhaps never were young hearts more gladdened or youthful eyes more frightened with surprised de- light, than those of the Brickwood family on Christmas morning; for there in the parlor was tree of trees, trimmed with almost every conceivable thing of beauty that might appropriately adorn a Christ mas evergreen. There were beau tiful and costly presents for each and every member of the family one in which race suicide never had show-and every heart was warm with the sentiment of "peace on earth and good will" There were strung over and on the tree gar lands of fancy globes of brilliant hues, and suspended from it's
 branches were beautiful cornuco- pias filled with sweets, golden oranges, and rosy red apples, ar tistic adornments of thel eonfec- tioner, silver sprays of grasses, gaily bedecked dolls and other fig ures grotesque enough to lend pic
 uancy to the effect. There were strings of great white bursting pop corn, looking like globules of snow, and, mingling with the evergreen, threw over the scene a touch of win ter There were brilliant hearts almost@s bright as those of the lit tie tots who eazed with fascination on what good old Santa Claus had brought them. These were ever so many rare and lovely things hung upon this beautiful tree, of which time and space prevent Q descrip- tioh. The room was festooned with greens, and floral decorations were in profusion, while from the door and window frames hung gieaming bells of radiant color, which, when the electric lights were on, gave an enchanting settlng Tn IamDent lus- Ire seemingly as bright as the star of Bethlehem" From all over the two Nogales friends of the Brick. wood have called, young and old, to gaze with wondering and de- lighted eyes on this beautiful tree, by far the loveliest ever seen in the international line cities. Even the face of the Mayor of Nogales broad ened into a seraphic smile as he witnessed his little ones joy. It was surely labor of love that prompted Consul Briekwood to de- vote so much time to the accom- plishment of his cousins pleasure.

Early Tn January the United States Reclamation Service will establish guaging station on the Santa Cruz river, about seven miles from Nogales, to ascertain the average yearly water flow, with a view to ascertaining capacity and cost of a reservoir for the reclamation of Santa Cruz valley lands.
 At the point selected there is one of the most feasible dam sites in the southwest. It was surveyed by County Surveyor c. k. Perkins, who furnished the Santa Cruz county supervisors with an esti- mate of the cost of tablishing the dam and description of the site, several years ago.
 In the report Captain Perkins states that the bed rock of solid granite lies at an average of four and seyen-tenths feet from the sur face and in the river bed proper the rock crops out, exposed on the surface. It Is at place where the river has cut its way between two large hills. A natural spillway for the proposed reservoir is formed by the contour of the hills on the northern side, at the seventy-foot level. He estimates that there are two square miles covered by the seventy-foot level, or nearly 9O,- GOO acre feet of water if filled to that level.
 Mir. Howard s. Reed of the United States Reclamation Service, who visited the site of the pro- posed dam last week, says that no where in Arizona has he seen place where a reservoir can be con structed so easily and 50 cheaply; where nature, to such a great ex- tent, has done already the prepar- atory work, even to providing a natural spillway at a proper dis tance from the dam site.
 Captain Perkins, in his report to the County Supervisors, estimated that the cost of the proposed dam would be about $130,000, if built partly of rock work and partly of earthwork.
 Even should the dam cost $250,- GOO, Mir. Reed of the Reclamation Service believes it would be wonderfully profitable investment.
 The money invested by the gov ernmcnt in constructing reservoirs is paid back by the settlers in in- stallments stretching over a period ot ten years. Should a dam on the Santa Cruz river at the point surveyed cost $250.0OO and reclaim 50,000 acres of land, the cost of the land reclaimed would be only $5 per acre, to be paid for in install ments of fifty cents per acre per year. And nowhere in the country is there more fertile land than in the great Santa Cruz valley.
 Captain Perkins estimate of the proposed dam did not include the cost of property on the reservoir site, nor the expense of installing outlet gates and other accessories, which, added to the estimate, would bring the cost of the reser- voir, fully established, to a figure somewhat higher than the rough

NAVAL EXPERTS cRITIcISE,
Don't Like Turrets As Arranged On
New Battleships.

More or less criticism is made by
naval experts OF the plans proposed
for the new battleships South Carolina
aud Michigan. According to the plans
OF the two ships named now being
considered by the special board. the
armament is TO consist mainly Of ~
inch guns placed in four turrefs. all
of which arc amidships.
The brunt of the criticism fallsupon
the fact that the forward turrets viii
be on the deck and only - feet above
the water line. IL is contendod by the
critics that this Will render them use
useless when the ship is going against
n head sea. The after turret is only
l6 feet above the water line. and the
same objection is made against this
elevation. The force OF the argument,
however, is somew hat broken by the
effect Of going against head sea
would not be SO great aft.
Those who are interested in this con-
tention point out that the forward tur-
ret of the British ship Dreadnaught is
30 feet above the water line and her
after turret 2S feet, giving her a great
advantage. according TO their views.
