a great deal to them. When the far mers nave crops the merchants make money, but no crops no money.
 And another thing the farmers should not forget, now that they have a reasonable hope of a water supply, is the planting of sugar beets. This crop requires less wa CT than any other, and if they can make any money on anything, that crop surely is sugar beets. Whatever else is plant ed, every one of them who can possi- bly, arrange to Go so should devote ar least few acres u beets, the mo the better.
 The situation generally is the most hopeful that ever confronted the val

He can enjoy more lunches dinners and suppers in day than any foreign celebrity that ever came here. One night the genial Cos sack dined and went to the thcater. He went to a formal supper at II o'clock, remained there until after l and then drove down town to a recep- ton given by his companions. He later went uptown with some of them and at o'clock the parry was taking either d very late supper or an early breakfast in a restaurant on Four teeuth street. This was typical day for him.

THE CUTOFF
 WORK BEGINS
Strong Force Starts Out
 This Morning
D2n hDermOtt is in Charge Under the Supervision of Government Engineer Parish.

Yesterday was a busy day for the exc cuttVe committee of ihe Nriz1ne, Canal Protective association. ut then every day will be a busy Une for the neSt month or moro. Word was re- CeiNed from Engineer H;!l early in the C2y advising the farmers to proceed al cEcc and as rapidly as Ioss.EIe along the lines mapped out by their organization. The line If the proposed cut has already been survey ed by Engineer Parish at the instance Of the government when It was hoped some month ago that the government might proceed to do the work. Efr. Parish has been instructed to go to the Arizona head either today or tonor- TOW, as the farmers shall rcqucst. or V vhenever they are ready, and lend them any assistance he can in a rro- fesSionaI way in the starting of the work.
 Whether the gOvernmen. will even tually take hold and complete the work or not is not known, nor does II seem at this time to make any diff ference whether it does or not. If the government should build the cut. it would naturally nave to sell the wa ter. If the farmers do the digging and stand the expense they will get the water without charge. and that per haps is the simplest way out Anyhow. II will probaly be three weeks perhaps more, before the preliminaries Of the transfer of the canals to the government can take place, and tt will be time enough tlen to talk over the matter of what the gOverninent will do in the premises, if anything. The

suggestion from the government to the farmers now is that they are doing well enough and should keep up the good work.
 Yesterday was devoted to the mobi- lizing of a camp outfit, the purchase of supplies for both man and beast, and the securing of rock men for the work. The supplies include 1000 pounds of dynamite for rock work. hay, groceries and other camp provi- siOns were bought, and it is hoped that somewhere in the neighborhood of forty-five teams can be secured for the work. Quite a number were secur- ed yesterday and will leave for the site of operations today. The men and teams are being hired by Dan McDer- mott, superintendent Of the Arizona Water CO, and who also has charge of the repairs made 10 the Arizona canal His good work there has so recommended him to the farmers that they have engaged him to take charge of the construction work on the cut It is likely that anybody desiring wors1 can get it, or, having a team available, can place it by applying to hm.
 The most important matter just now is in the hands of the commit teemen appointed under each lateral for the securing of subscriptions of the r lands to the project. Between three and four thousand acres were secured in the meeting last Saturday. but there should be subscription of ten or fifteen thousand acres more. just as soon as possible. It will take money to push the work rapidly and while the executive committee has enough on hand to begin with, it is desired that the money shall always be available for any emergency. There is no doubt of the faith and interest of the farmers. or their almost mani- mous loyalty to the oject, but te element of human carelessness and the impulse to put things eff until to- morrow have the effect of making some of the land owners slow in re- porting their subscriptions. They should not wait to be urged. or even solicited. but hunt up the committee mel on their laterals at once, s'gl their lands, and get ready to pay their proportion.
 And in the meantime the committee of business men. headed by F. T. Al ldre and J. w. Dorr;s, Is busy secur- ing contributions from among the merchants of the city. It is expected that they will respond liberally for the enterprise in an indirect way means
