The Black Canyon of the Colorado

Phe mighty energy of the Col erado river is to be transmitted to Los Angeles, according to plans now being matured by To- cal and Philadelphia capitalists. First, the power is to be distrib- uted among the mining camps on the Arizona and Nevada bor der and ultimately brought here.
 It is claimed that between the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the Black Canyon it is pos sible to take advantage of certain sites and develop 500,000 horse power. After an investigation of other electrically transmitted power plants in the state, the waters of the Black Canyon were filed upon over a month ago to the extent of 250,000 miners inches by William Carruthers and John Campbell. Plans are now being prepared for con- crete dam which is to be POO feet high, and which in some respects is similar in character to the gi- gantic dam at Assouan, on the Upper Nile, and which is to rev olutlonize conditions over an immense expanse of territory in the Land of the Pharaohs. At the Black Canyon, however, pri- marily the idea is to develop electric energy for transmission to distant points. No plans have been made as to the use of, the water for irrigation purposes.
 The dam is to be constructed at the lower end of the canyon, and with the fall thus obtained it is calculated that no, 900 horse power will be developed at the minimum flow. This power is to be transmitted, in the first in stance, to the mining camps on either side of the Colorado river -Searchllght, Bullfrog and To- nopah on the Nevada side, and Gold Roads and Chloride on the Arizona side being among the most notable. At present the cheapest energy in these camps is distillate, costing from $2O0 to !$250 per horse power per year, this depending upon the distance from the railroad.-Los Angeles Examiner.

Troops Enroute to Philippines.

Five troops of the Eighth United States Infantry, from Governors Island, New York, passed through Yuma Sun day night enroute for San Francisco, where they will board transport Tor Manila. There were two trains, In all sixteen coaches, full of officers and men, and freight train carrying the equipment. The trains remained at the station about half an hour, giving the boys a chance to ''look around'' some, which many of them took advant- age of. @
 It was learned from the officers with the troops that while they are ostensi- bly, going to the Philippines, it IS not because they are really needed for duty there, but to be held in reserve in case there is boxer uprising in China against the several thousand Ameri- cans who are in the confines of the ori- ental land.
 Following are the officers with the troops that went through: Col. Fred A. Smith, Capt J. K. Miller, adjutant; Capt. T. Norman, quartermaster; Capt. F. Perkins, commissary; Captains, E. s. Walker, E. NJ. Johnson; Lieuten- ants A. l.. Christy, w. H. Johnson (battalion adjutant), s. H. Mason bat talion quartermaster), E. J. Bracken, c. A. Devo, J. H. Moller.

Objects of Arizona Miners
Association.

"To protect, develop and fos- ter the mining and mineral in- dustries of the Territory of Ari- zona. "-Constitution, Article 1, Section ?.
 To advertise to the world the vast richness of the scarcely touched mineral resources of Arizona. Capital is only wait ing to be "shown" in order to in- vest in legitimate propositions, which will tend to increase the output and make more business in every line.
 To increase the payroll. More mines mean more miners at work; more prospects developed; more men employed in various occupations; more supplies need ed; more houses built; more pop ulation for Arizona; more wealth produced.
 To assist in every legitimate and practical manner the pros pector who has a meritorious prospect worthy off develop ment. .'''' ,. ; '--z
 To protect the investing pub lie from "wild-cat" schemes by exposing them wherever found. EOne illegitimate proposition will do more harm than can be coun- teracted by several good pro- jects properly handled. The man who loses in a "fake" com pany does more adverse adver- Using for the community than can be recovered from by the good words of half a dozen sat- isfed investors. Strike at the root by giving the public accu- rate information about all prop ositions, and let it be known that the Arizona Miners asSocia- tion will not countenance any thing detrimental to the mining interest of the territory.
 NOT to further the political ambitions of any man or class of men, but to work for<the up- building of Arizona's mining in terestS.
 For the man with the pick and drill as we'll as for the man with the bank account. For the mine owner, merchant and lumb- erman. For the assayer, and the alfalfa grower. For the chemist and the cattleman. For all who are interested directly or indirectly in the growth and development of the mining inter- est of Arizona.

Grass Widows Barred.

The list of widows claiming exemption from taxation under the territorial law on file in the clerks office has been greatly reduced. Last spring the asses sor returned 153 such persons, involving a considerable amount of property. The Board of su- perylsors made an order that only widows by death could claim such exemption and that an affidavit must be filed in each case. This reduced the list to A, and that number have been relieved of taxation. It was sus- picioned that in some cases wid- ows returned property which in fact belonged to other persons, and a number of investigations have been in progress. Solo knoxville Bulletin.

THE KNOCKER.

In every community there are certain people who find; it diff suit or impossible to work in line with their fellows. They may not be justly accused of malicious motives, for in many respects they are frequently admirable citizens. Yet by some constitu- tional twist they are usually out out of tune with the rest of man, kind.
 Such is the knocker. This new use of the term will proba- bly, find legitimate place in our language after the fashion of the words "boss" and "mugwump."
 The dictionaries define the knocker as one who knocks, and it is strikingly applicable to the person who has ever ready his little shillally of spite aud preju- dice.
 Such people often do incalcu- liable harm. They throw a damp. CT on every enterprise. They are really to be. pitied, for they are of all men generally the most miserable. Theirs, indeed, is a deplorable condition of mind, for there is nc greater temporal pleasure than that afforded through the consciousness of be. ing in step with the great mass of ones fellows. To be always ebjecting and obstructing is cer- fainly unfortunate for the indi- vidual.
 It must not be understood that the right to justly criticize is de. nied; ohy no! For that would mean the enduring of all manner of unjust if not rascally proceed. ings without protest, but it is rather to check the propensity to discourage every honest effort for advancement, improvement and development.
 It is a part of healthful self respect to speak we'll of ones town and of its institutions and enterprise. We should welcome every we'll behaved stranger and swing wide the doors to every new industry. This is a town ol beautiful location and of promis ing possibilities, and the citizen belittles himself who speaks slightingly of his home or of any new enterprise seeking to gair & foothold.
 Carefully analyze your mo tiyes for desiring to obstruct tc make sure that you do not place yourself in the unenyiable posi- tion of a knocker.

Declined to Appropriate.

M. J. Nugent, F. l.. Lee and w. r.. Timmons, representing the Yuma Board of Trade, appeared before the Board of Supervisors Monday and asked for an appropriation Of s4SO to pay for half-page advertisement to run twelve months in the Sunset Mag azine, preceded by an illustrated arti- cle-all descriptive of Yuma and Yuma county. The Board deemed such an appropriation inadvisable at this time and accordingly refused to make it.. The board has decided that hereafter if any appropriations are to be made for advertising they will go to home institutions.
 The Chamber of Commerce continues dcing good work. It has just closed a contract with home printing estab- lishment for 6S-page pamphlet, to be profusely illustrated, the subject matter being devoted to the varied re- sources of Yuma county.

Silsbee, ranging from 600 to l. 800 population. There are 1900 people and eleven school dist ricts in the valley. The report from these school districts, for June, 1905. shows 70l children, against 370, a year ago. The population of the valley is grea- ter than the school census would indicate, because so many young men have gone there to start farms, leaving their families at home until they are prepared to receive them. Imperial, the largest town. has a $5000 school house and a brick church which also cost $5000. The men who work out in the open all say they do not mind the heat; there are no instances of SunStroke in this dry air. The country is filled with young college men. The moral tone of the valley is illus trated by the vote against intox- icants which was carried out at two different elections. A tele- phone system has been extended through the whole irrigated area. The town possesses neat brick and stone business blocks, concrete sidewalks and graded Streets. Shade trees are being grown at eighteen months old, poplars are from fifteen to eight cen feet in height, and afford substantial shade. Hamilton Wright in The World Today, for February.

What Irrigation Has Done In the
 Desert.

Five years ago there was not a home in the Imperial Valley of the Colorado Desert. There was not even an Indian began (earth hut to shelter the engineers who surveyed the first canals from the Colorado river across the desert. The parched earth was as bare of vegetation as skat- ing rink, and it seemed even less promising than Death Valley, for it lacks the mineral wealth of that region, the ground being a sedimentary deposit, from the Colorado river.
 Today a thousand acres are under actual cultivation on the California side of the desert, and ten thousand on the Mexi- can side. Towns have arisen almost in night: the principal are Imperial, Holtville, Brawley, Calexlco, MeXicali, Heber and

STATEHOOD IN THE SENATE.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 27.- The Senate agreed todayto vote on the statehood bill and amend ments on Friday, March 9.
 Hopkins of Illinois today ad- dressed the senate in support of the bill. He said the entire House was profoundly interest ed in the proposed admission of two new states, and he made an appeal for the ratification of the committee on territories work in recommending the consolida- ton of the four territories into two states, He practically urged the wisdom of joining Arizona and New Mexico.
 In the course of his remarks Hopkins referred to the Foraker amendment giving Arizona a separate vote upon the question of admission as ''insidious and dangerous" but when Foraker objected to the language the Hi nois senator withdrew "inSidi- Ous."
 What he meant to say, he said, was that the adoption of the amendment would not only ac- complish the defeat of the ob- ject of the bill, but would nlti- mately result in the admission of Arizona as separate state.
 Foraker admitted that he hoped to see both New Mexico and Arizona admitted as sepa- rate states sometime in the near future.
 The agreement to vote on the bill and amendments on March 9 was reached by unanimous con- sent. This is construed to mean that the supporters of the Fora ker amendment are assured of enough votes to carry the refer endum proviso.
