Wilkie told The Index that work
will be prosecuted with vigor. He
is hiring more men and teams for
both ditch and lateral work. He
will put a force of men at work
tomorrow on the South side ditch,
and that section will be given a
thorough overhauling so as to be
prepared for service at the same
time water is turned into the main
canal. This will Supply nearly
all the slope land as far as Freeze
out hill.
Four crews are being organized
to construct the laterals. Very few
made last year can be used. The
contract with the state specifies
that the water company shall de-
liver water within half a mile of
each quarter section. This means
a lateral every two miles. Mr..
Wilkie says, however, that it will
probably be necessary to build
them closer where the land has
high points.
Charlie Hedrick will continue as
foreman of construction, and he is
very competent man for the posi-

Governor Gooding spoke on
Idaho and Irriagtion," briefly re-
viewing the work accomplished
by the various irrigation COM
panies in the state and mentioning
the prospects for the future. in
which he stated that should the
Hepburn bill pass granting this
state an additional 1000, coo acres
of Carey act land. he believed the
state land board would be able to
sign contracts this summer for
another million acres of land to be
irrigated. He stated that of all
the lands placed under water in the
state, the Emmett bench lands,
considering its soil. its climate, the
water supply and other advantages,
is the best of them all and he con-
graduated the people of Emmett
upon the approaching consumma-
ton of their long-deferred dreams
He made the position of the land
board plain in regard to the ac-
ceptance of the canal until it was
completed in thorugh and salts
factory manner.
Mr.. Trowbridge spoke also III a
happy vein, sympathizing with the
people in their deferred hopes and
in their losses, but he assured them
that the company had also suffered
losses, beside which the losses OF
the local people were insignificant.
He assured them that he had no
desire to turn over an uncompleted
or inferior canal and that he is not
now asking the land board to ap-
prove the work at all at this time
and he would not turn it over to
the settlers even if they did ap-
prove it. He said the company
had yet great deal of work to do
and that it would take at least two
years to bring the system up to the
plans that had been mapped out,
and when that time comes he was
positive there would be no ques-
lion as to the efficiency of the ditch
Dr. the quality of the work.

Broxon, editor of the Capital News,
all of Boise; A. A. Trowbridge
and w. F. Cross, Canal company
officials, arrived at 2 O'Clock Mon
day afternoon on a special train.
Soon after their arrival, they were
driven over the bench. which
number of them had never seen,
and they were very much surprised
at this wonderful body of land.
Arriving at the Wayman ranch,
an excellent lunch was served to
the visitors. At night they were
informally entertained with a
smoker by the Commercial club in
the club rooms.
Tuesday morning. the party, ac-
companied by many Emmett people
and farmers, were driven to the
dam, 20 miles up the river, where
at 1890 the headgates were raised
by Governor Gooding IN the pres
ence of about $50 people. Brief
addresses were made by the COVER
nor and Mr. Trowbridge. in which |
they expressed great pleasure in |
participating in an event that |
meant so much to this section and
to the state. They spoke Of the
magnitude of the project and the
great benefits that were sure to fol-
low. Very few were able to hear
what was said, however, owing to
the roaring noise made by the wat
er as it poured over the dam and
was dashed into spray on the rocks
below. The gates We're raised SO
as to half fill the canal with water.
Five and a half feet was flowing
over the dam. After an appetizing
lunch, served by the canal COM
pany in their boarding house, the
party returned to town, taking the
north road and following the ditch
as far as Black canyon. Great i'm
provements were noticed in both
fumes and ditch since last seen
three months ago, and it was the
general opinion that there need be
no tear but what there will be
plenty of water this summer for all
who require it.
In the evening areception Was
rendered the visitors by the Com
mercial Club in Odd Fellows hall.
The hall was prettily decorated
and punch was served from two
booths by Mrs. E. L. Holverson

 ''I was very much pleased to see the marked activity which prevails in that section of the territory" said MT. Smith yesterday. "Business is certainly on the upgrade in d marked degree, and business men are feeling better in all lines. There is cOnsid- erable building there and the city of Globe seems to be on notiCeab, C boom. They claim 12,0O0 population over there, and I have no douot that there are that many people there. It is growing fast, according to the best reports"
 In speaking of the mining business, MT. Smith states that there Is splen- did progress being made. Much ln- terest is being taken by eastern cap- ital in that district, and there will be new investments during the com- ing year.
 The firm of Hovland x Smith has taken several important bonds on property recently, consisting of the Live Oak. the EIreka, and others. The Glob. Consolidated is expecting to turn out at least 750 tons this month and probably I,5O0 tons by the following month. The property is in excellent shape, and is making fine showings.

Four Varieties of Fine Corn.

Several bushels of the finest corn ever seen in the valley were brought to Phoenix by J. w. Florney of Glen dale. which was grown on his ranch in that vicinity. Corn is q crop which has not been given much attention in the valley except by few ranchers However, it may be grown as an eX- tra crop following oats, barley, early beets, and be made to yield the owner of the land S25 to S45 additional per acre.
 Mir. Florney is of this opinion from his exoerienCe. While some of his crop this year did not turn out well, it was due to being planted too late, and the irrigation was not applied by the man in charge at the right time, when it sprouted from the ground, hence much died and the est was stunted. This was particularly so with one of the varieties, the Blue Ribbon, wa:ch is d big yielier in Kansas. Another variety yielded over 4O bushels to the acre. The market price WIS d little above S1 per bushel.
 Mr. Florney had three other va rieties-the Adams white corn, the Aztec corn, and new variety which was a cross between the Adams and the Aztec c0rns. The Aztec seed was discovered in the ruins of Aztec buildings several years ago, and planted. Some of it was sent to the government officials and they de- clared they had never seen anything like it before. The Aztec is a gol den-bronze in color, and the cross with the Adams variety produce a dee p-dyed red grained car of good size.
 The Blue Ribbon ear has white grains alternating with blue grains, and four of the ears weighed over 4 pounds. This crop properly irrigated and cultivated would go over fifty bushels to the acre in this valley. Next year Mir. FlOrnev intends to plant several acres in this variety to see what it will yield. He will also plant the other three varieties, hay ing selected seed for that purpose. Corn as a follow crop may prove one of the assets of the valley. Barley may be sown in the fields with the corn during the winter and good feed had for several months. EXperi- ments with the chopped stalks by a Glendale rancher have proven that
 t 'ck will eat nearly all.-PhoeniX RepubliCan,

Bad Wreck on C. ", C. < N.

Perhaps one of the worst wrecks n the history of the road occurred last week, d few miles the other side of CalSa.
 The wrecking crew with about 50 Indians had the dehris cleared away and shoo-fy built over the broken track by 11:30 Saturday morning. A broken fange under car heavily laden with ore, was the cause of the accident. In this car I ode two In- dian women and a papOOse. One wo- man was killed outright and the sec ond badly injured by the falling ore. The baby escaped unhurt. All were immediately taken to San Carlos.
 Ten cars were derailed, while seven were turned and badly smashed up: Much oil, of which five cars were laden, was lost. A similar wreck oc- cured on the 17th, near Benson, due to the same cause. The frequent oc- currence of broken hanges lead one to believe that there must be some defect in the manufa cture of car wheels.-Journal.
