Irrigation. in ono form or another Is in
teressing good many people horeabouts
just now. II Il isn't tho beet or tho can't
aloupe field It is the lawn sprinkler and in
this connection II may be worth whilo re-
calling that It is a much Older job in this
region than wo generally suppose It to be.
1t appears from recent historical and
archaeological investigation that irrigation
was praetieed in America long before
Columbus ever set sail. Proof Of ancient
irrigation works has been found in the
valley Of tho Gila river in Arizona. Sew
eral years ago an investigation by the
geological survey developed tho fact that
tho ruins Of an old canal near tho ruins
Of Caea Grand temple were in reality the
ruins Of an irrigation canal constructed in
prehistoric times and that. in order to pre-
vent the seorehing climate from drinking
up the water before Il could be distributed
over the fields. the canal had been lined
with some kind Of cement which has
withstood the elements for centuries, but
which, like the eolors Of some Of the
great Italian painters. has become a
lost art. The canal was found about
twenty feet below the level Of the pres
ent earth. but has been uncovered far
enough to show its original design and
use. Other signs Of reclamation works
that once existed in the Gia valley have
been covered by the drifting sands of the
centuries. Today in the vicinity of Phoe-
nix there are over 500 miles of canals
and bitches and over 100000
acres Of cultivated fields, producing
cereals and grasses of every kind and
tropical products for luxury as well as
necessity. But the secret Of the ancient
canal builders W constructed their
bitches so as 70 save the last drop of
water is unsolyed

called forth vigorous pro-

many others. AS soon as
they learned that the mat
inee was to be played on
the quiet Sabbath afternoon
arrests and fines we're
threatened, but the matter
had gone so far that the
mayor, council and opera

nothing to prevent the
play without breaking their

shows was hung up by an
appeal to the referendum
