Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-As a Sc
quel to the remarkable scene on
Broad street yesterday, when sever
al hundred policemen gave battle to
more than a thousand unemployed
foreigners who were marching to the
City hall for the purpose of making
demonstration, fourteen Italians
are held in bail today. Five of the
ringleaders are held ON a charge of
assault and battery and melting a
riot, and the nine others for melting
a riot.
At mass meeting preceding the
march a woman speaker melted the
men by declaring that they had "bet-
ter be in jail where you get plenty
to eat than to be out of work and
hungry"
During the march a number of red
flags were carried.
The Central Textile Union at a
meeting last night decided to march
in a parade to the City hall in the
near future and appeal to Mayor
Reyburn for aid in obtaining work
for its unemployed members.

Today one of the most important
irrigation district elections ever held
in western Colorado is in progress
in Mesa county.
The land owners of the great Or
chard Mesa Irrigation District, ad-
jacent to the city of Grand juno
ton, the lands laying across the
Grand river and extending on down
the valley toward Palisade. are vot-
ing on the proposition of Issuing
$3.50, 900 in bonds and of awarding
the contract for the erection of a
vast irrigation system.
The approval of the action of the
board of directors of the district, the
approval of the contract with tho
Grand Mesa Lake Canal & Power
Company and the approval of the big
bond issue will mean much for the
prosperity, the growth and the de-
velopment of one of the richest Sec
tions of the valley in particular and
of the entire county in general.
The polling places, two in num-
ber, were opened at 8 am. today and
will not close until 6 pm. One of
the polling places is at the residence
of George Smith and the other is
at the residence of ThomasY. Reese,
both residences being within the
boundaries of the district.
The interest manifested in the
election is naturally very keen, and
the voting has been extensive. Not
a property holder in the district, ELI
gible to vote, will hardly fail to make
known his approval or disapproval
of the various questions being voted
upon in this election.
The voters are called upon to vote
upon three important questions
First, 1t Is proposed to rescind the
action of the electors of the district,
taken in June, 1904, authorizing the

Chamber of Commerce and other To-
cal gentlemen will make short talks
and the visitors are also expected to
have something to say. The gather

enjoyable affair and will go a long
way towards forming an acquaint-

financiers and the citizens of the
Grand valley.
The party will remain in the val
ley over tomorrow. They will be
taken over on Orchard mesa tomor-
row and will visit Palisade and 9TH

The visit of these fnanciers to the
city is of more than passing import
ance.

enterprises and has handled the
bonds of many of the great irriga-
tfon projects of the west.
The day has been an ideal Grand

best advantage. Each and every one

There is an abundance of good water or the flat, and 1t is covered with oaks, mesquites and junipers, with aE elevation of about 6,50C feet, mak- ing it an ideal summer camping place. From three sides of the flat we'll kept trails lead down the steep mountain sides into cafions and on out into the broad Santa Cruz val ley. From the outer rim of the flat one can look down over the valley, dotted green with ranches for fifty miles or more; and through the center great band of green, the water course of the Santa Cruz river, clearly marked by great cot tonwoods and willows that grow along either bank. But it does not all belong to "us." The Santa Cruz takes big turn into Sonora and many of the green patches viewed from the Patagonia noun tains are the ranches of Mexican hidaIgOS, whose hdciendds are hid- den from view in groves of sauce HoroneS and alamos.

affected. Minded and with head dropping when the summit is reached, he seems soon to breathe new life. With neck outstretChed and head tossed high, he looks out over the valley; and with iron shod hoofs he paws the hard rock while he shorts his impatience to the distant mountains. In some of the canyons and gulches of the Santa Ritas are still the ruins of prospectors' and trappers' cabins, battered down, perhaps, by Geroni- mos warriors, who drove out or killed the men who occupied them about a quarter of a century ago. In these mountains, also may be encountered living reminders of the pioneer days-the trappers, with their dogs, guns and traps, and with their cabins and sur rounding trees covered with fresh pelts. stretched out to dry-pelts of animals not protected by the game laws, such as bear. mountain lions, foxes, etc.
 To the east a stage runs every day over a road that affords one a view of some of the most beautiful and interesting scenery in the Pa tagonia mountains. Over rolling mesas and foothills dotted with mesquites, oaks and manzanitas, and during the rainy season green with grass and rainbow colored with wild flowers, the roads climbs gradually up into the very heart of the Patagonia mountains. So in- teresting is the drive that one might think the roads were built to attract tourists and pleasure serkers, but they were not. They were built for the more prosaic purpose of hauling freight to and from a dozen mines.
 About a miles from Patagonia on the stage line, is the little town of Harshaw, the oldest mining camp in Santa Cruz county, with a score of pretty little country homes hidden away in groves of cotton woods and willows.
 Six miles farther is the mining camp of Mowry, on Mowry flat, at an elevation of about 6000 feet. Were it not for the mine buildings just above the camp, the place might be taken for a ranch settle ment or an outing resort, every thing about the place so neat and clean and so many of the buildings surrounded by shade trees.
 Leaving Mowry the road winds through the ruggedest part of the Patagonias, to Washington Camp and Duquesne, close to the Mexican line, passing over heights from which one can view the San Rafael valley for miles around and look out over valleys and mountain for a hundred miles beyond the Mex ican line.
 Another road leaving Mowry passes from the flat into Old Pata- gonia caflon, where Mexican placer miners, with their rude wooden rockers, are still washing gold from the gravel. About two and a half miles from Mowry the road emer-
