POPULAR EVERYWHERE

/ The "Ask Club" is a success every
where it is tried. You would naturally
think that in state that has just
adopted Prohibition, like Oklahoma, it
would be hard to secure Democrats and
Republicans to sign the Voters Pledge
That's not so. The opportunity is just
as great in one place as in another The
only question is, Will you thrust in the
sickle and reap the harvest resultant
from seed-sowing of the seventies,
eighties and nineties?
Read the following from Oklahoma !:
Enclosed find six Pledge Cards signed
One by myself, all others by Democrats
and Republicans. Things are breaking
up out here. I shall push the work"

Prohibition Running the Jailer

RICHMOND, KY, January 15.-(From
Press Dispatch. )-Since this city be-
came a no-license town in July, the
jailer's office in this county is gradually
ceasing from being paying proposition,
from the fact that arrests are getting
few and far between, and about the only
fees the jailer is deriving from his office
at present are from the Federal prison
ers, and their time is approaching rapid
ly, and about forty more are due to leave
in thirty days, and the balance in sixty
days, which will practically leave an
empty Jail here, something never before
known in Richmond's history.

A Chance to Make History

If every Prohibitionist in America
would say Lets settle it in 1908" and
start to doing something along the
Ask line, we could not only elect our
issue but we could elect our candidate
or President The party men are wax
ing up with unusual earnestness, but, if
all could start noe avith one impulse and
TASK" their friends, neighbors and enc
mics to- vote the Prohibition ticket, it
would be all settled.
Some people say, what can I do ?"
If you hold a card in one hand long
enough for someone else to take it and
read it and when they have read it, hold
pencil for them and say, will you
please sign that?" you have performed a
valuable service for Prohibition, and you
cannot do that to ten men without hav
ing some sign it.
i / suggested to one man that he try
that simple plan. He was not a man
who could talk. That man is making
Prohibition votes every week That's
better than some of you more capable
men are doing.

 Arizona has more land under irrlga ton than can be found in one body anywhere else in the world.
 Our reservoir is located seventy-five miles east of Phoenix. The water is turned back into the river through a tunnel thirteen feet wide and ten feet deep. cut around the end of a dam five hundred feet long. in mountain. The dam is 200 feet wide at bed rock, 165 feet up and down stream, 700 feet wide at the crest and 2S0 feet high There is a bridge at the point on Tonto creek near where that stream empties into Salt river. This marks the place of the old stage line cross ing. The government has built twen- ty-f.ve miles of road above the dam, on the side of the mountain, to a point that will not be reached by water at its highest stage. When the dam is full water will back up Tonto creek and Salt river for a distance of twen- ty-five miles and cover 10000 acres of land. In volume there will be 1,30O,- U0O acre feet.
 When the dam shall have been com plctcd there will be energy sufficient to operate a 20,000 horsepower electric plant. Already there is developed en- ergy of 600 horse power by cutting a canal six feet wide and four feet deep; W5ter is carried over the crest of the hill at the end of the dam and dropped 220 feet to a turbine wheel. This power is used to operate machinery for making cement. 300 barrels of which is turned out daily; to manufacture ice, to furnish light for the city of Roosevelt The present site of Roose- veelt will be 100 feet under water when the dam shall have been com pleted.

Then, besides all this. we can, the chief electrician says, have enough electricity left to lease to the government all it needs here, which at $1OO per horse power, will bring in revenue of $750,00O a year.
 We must pay for all the electricity we use, and so will the people of Phoe- nix have to pay for all they make use of, but in our own case it will be like taking money from one pocket and putting it in the other. We will own the whole thing when it is com pleted. The government will need all the power we have to spare to oper- ate machinery used in pumping water for the Indian reservation.
 Now this whole proposition, reser- voir. electricity and all, is estimtaed to cost not to exceed $5,O00,000. We have five years to pay it in, without interest. So you see we will get good rent and have use of our improvement; at the same time.
 Our best land, when properly irri- gated, yields crops worth s1,OO0 ar acre. Immense crops of alfalfa. straw berries and other products of field and garden are grown here. Alfa fla worth $166 and strawberries $500 an acre are common yields.

JOSEPH BERRY TRACED
TO THE DONOHUE HOME
Seen in Vicinity on Night That
the WOman'S Garments
We're Found

Evidence come to the officers as they
searched Donohues house yesterday af-
ternoon. that Joseph Berry had gone on
the night when Mrs Donohue's cloth
ing was discovered to Donohue's
home. Whether to accuse, to conspire
or TO inquire, Berry's purpose of visit
ing the place is not known Police de-
tectiVes are securing San Francisco
and the suburbs on the eastern side of
the bay in hope of finding the man
and learning.
The police would not give the name
of the person who gave them the in
formation He came clad in the blue
suit of car conductor, but without
q, cap. The story he told was, in effect.
as follows: Saturday night when pa
pers in shrieking headlines were an
nouncing the the fact that Mrs. Dono-
hue's garments had been discovered a
man rode out to Emeryyille on a San
Pablo avenue car. The conductor de-
scribed this man. The description an
to Mrs. Donohue was told in The Call
yesterday morning. Meantime in
searching the Donohue house the Of
ficers found two photographs which
answered the description of Berry.
These were shown the conductor and
he said he believed they were pictures
of the man. The passenger asked the
conductor a few questions about the
Donohue house He seemed very ner-
vous- His hands trembled and his face
twitched- He asked where Donohue
could be found, whether the man was
at his home or in custody. The con-
ductor did not know. The man
alighted at Sixty-secend street as one
who knew the neighborhood and
walked toward the Donohue house
Captain of Detectives Petersen was
very reticent In talking Of this man,
but as soon as he found out who he
was it is stated that he took measures
to have plain clothes men start a
search for Berry.
