FINANCIAL WORRIES
CAUSE OF SUICIDE
James fiennessy, Mining Stock
Speculation, Shoots Himself
Through Head
Family Troubles and Loss of
Money Said to Be Reason
for Dependency

ALAMEDA, Nov. 5.-Janes Hennessy.
drummer, and also a speculator in min
ing stocks. committed suicide last night
by shooting himself in the head at his
home. 2515 Eagle avenue. His body was
discovered this morning by his son.
Victor HenneSsy. Financial reverseS,
lack of employment and trouble with
his wife are supposed TO have been the
causes which prompted Hennessy to
kill himself
Some months ago Hennessy said that
he had been bunkoed out of nearly
$1,000 BY a San Francisco mining stock
broker. AT the time Hennessy endeav-
ored to enlist the support of other eli
ents of the broker OF whom he COM
planned in a criminal action against
the broker. Nothing came of the effort
and Hennessy is said TO have worried
incessantly over his loss. A few weeks
ago Hennessy's wife left him.
Victor Hennessy. a son OF the dead
man, returned home from a duck hunt
ing trip last evening and after pTepar-
ing meal for himself went TO Oak
land returning before midnight. This
morning young Hennessy prepared his
own breakfast and left the house. 1t
occurred to him, he said. after leaving
the house, that he had not seen his
father since yesterday morning He
went back to the dwelling, looked into
his fathers room and saw the body
lying upon a bed with the revolver
firmly clutched in the right hand. The
young man notified the local morgue
officials and the remains were removed.
Henry Bryant. a roomer in the Hen
messy house, said that he heard no re-
port of a revolver curing the night.
Hennessy was native of Canada 5S
years of age Besides his wife and
son he leaves a daughter. Miss Mary
Hennessy. The latter is well known as
a writer of short stories under the
name of Anne O'Hagan."

Benefit for the Gaelic
Football Players

The combined Gaelic football teams,
comprising the Young Irelands. O'Con-
nells, Parnells and Erin's Hope. will
give a grand ball at Puckett's hall,
Market and Church streets, on Satur-
day evening. November 81, for the ben
eft of several of the players who were
injured during the season. The cause
is worthy one and all the amateur
ing towns are appealed to for aid.
1t is the first time that such a bene-
fit has been attempted by the league
and its members are working hard for
its success. The players for whom the
money is being raised suffered severe
injuries while taking part in football
matches, and many of them have been
laid up for months, being unable to
work.

in excess Of that for miles up or down the river.
 The proposition is to build a dam 80 feet high. As earth and stone of excellent quality can be secured in abundance on both sides of the site, the cost is thus materially reduced, and consequently 50.000 cubic yards of earthwork would cost $25,000 and S5,000 cubic feet of rock work would cost S105,000, or a total of $130.000. The same base of costs can be made for outlet gates and spilIway canals. A natural spillway of solid rock for q for 70-foot level is formed by the contour of the hills on the northern Side of the proposed reservoir, show ing that at each 10-foot level there are two square miles covered by the 70-foot level and nearly 90,000 acre feet Of water filled to that level.
 ''The, drainage basin above the pro posed dam covers an area of some what over 1900 square miles, subject to more rainfall than any other sec tion of Arizona and all of this water passes down the river and finally into the Pacific ocean, useless for irriga- tion, but damaging to the farms on the river bottom. The irrigable land which would he brought under such a reservoir is of an acreage beyond cal culation without extensive survey. Thus the facts developed show the easibility of tie project from natural formation. the abundant water sup ply and the land involved, wnlcn is nearly all government, thus reducing cost of storage to comparatively low figure per acre foot
 Examinations made on other reser- voir sites in Arizona, including the famous Tonto dam proposition, -iow known as the Roosevelt dam, in the Salt River valley, cannot compare favorably from practical commercial stand point with this Santa Cruz river reservoir site.
 The board of trade of Nogales is making every effort to have Chief En- gineer l.. c. Hill of the reclamation service personally visit the site, and; although more important projects are commanding his attention now, assur- ances have been given that the Santa Cruz matter will not be overlooked, and as soon as it is convenient he will endeavor to go and see for himself what an opportunity awaits the gov ernment to build reservoir that will make the Santa Cruz valley one of the finest agricultural communities in the whole southwest.

INTEREST OF DOUGLAS
 IN SAN SIMON VALLEY
As Population Increases More Trade Will Surely Go To
 Smelter City,
Paradise Record)

Douglas is taking an interest in the development of artesian water in the San Simon valley, and justly so, for no other city will be so great a gain CT thereby. Rodeo, which is not far distant from the center of the valley, is only fifty-two miles from Douglas, and 165 miles from Fl Paso. The val ley stretches as far west as Bernar- dino, which is only twenty-four miles from Douglas. Lordsburg, eighty-sev- Fen miles from Rodeo by rail, and Deming, 103 miles by rail, would have to give way in favor of Douglas, even were they large enough towns to en- ter into competition for the trade of the valley. With the water problem solved, a larger town than either DemiDg or Lordsburg will spring up in the valley somewhere on the line of the Southwestern railroad, but this town-whereyer 1t may be located will in turn be a feeder to Douglas Of course. much of the San Simon valley is in New Mexico, and Lords burg as the seat of the land office and county seat of Grant county xli de rive some benefit and do some of the valleys retail trade; but Douglas, be- ing a larger city and nearer, will be the valleys market, and shopping and business center And If the whole sale houses of Douglas can make the right prices. Douglas will be the main wholesaling point.
 The San Simon valley is the most fertile and promising valley that is tributary to Douglas, and it is one of the finest valleys in the territory. When the water problem shall have been disposed of. Douglas and other towns hereabouts will depend upon this valley for farm products. da.ry products, fruits, berries. etc. The San Simon valley will be to Douglas what the San Pedro is rapidly becoming to Benson. what the Gila is to Stafford and SoIomonyille. what the Salt river is to Phoenix. Southern California thirty years ago was a desert like this
Bisbee daily review., 1908-02-06

today it is a garden. The rainfall is not sufficient to raise crops So they bored for water. Some have ar tesian water, but most of the ranch CTS irrigate with water that is pumped from the earth by means of gasoline engines. the wells. in most cases. be ing sunk at least 125 feet The ten deDcy there now is toward fewer and larger pumping plants. In some ca5ss the small ranchers find it cheaper to buy water at central pumping plant and pipe it to their ranches, than to do their own pumping; while in other cases newly-sunk wells, tap their wat CT supply and they are compelled to buy. Therein some localities, at any rate-there are few artesian wells. very few surface streams of water that are constant. and no gov ernment dams-pumping water has to be resorted to, yet with what brilliant results
 With southern California as an ex- ample of what can be accomplished with water obtained with great dfr1- culty, the future of the San Simon valley looks bright. For the soil here is richer, and water lies closer to the surface. Not that oranges, lemons, and figs can be raised in this section of Arizona, but there is scarcely any other product of farm, garden, vine yard or dairy that cannot be raised more successfully here than in south ern California.
 In this valley, nearly all of which will be tributary to Douglas. there are estimated to he about 1500 quarter sections of land-1500 homes, count ing one family to homestead With plenty of water developed, and later with these homesteads each divided into several farms, as many of them will be, population of 25,000 in the San Simon valley twenty-five years hence is aot at all improbable. And as farming is the backbone. the lead ing industry of any country. and there fore should be encouraged. the peo- pie of Douglas should no longer de lay. but should now do all in their power to hasten the solution of the water problem in the San Simon val ley. It will mean, at no distant date, added stability for the Shelter City, and. incidentally, more dollars for it's business and professional men.

THIRD ANNUAL FAIR
 VAS BIG SUCCESS
After Paying All Expenses There Is Cash Balance
 On Hand.

The territorial fair commission has transmitted to the governor com plete financial report showing the re- ceipts and disbursements of the third territorial fair. It will be gratifying to every reader to learn that after all the debts have been paid there is left in the fund s1,366.52. This is 8 mighty fine showing. for the average state fair ends with. deficit that has to be made up in sqme way, or stand as q debt. The three Arizona fairs have all been practically self sustain ing with the help of course, of the pre- yious legislative appropriation and 1t is flattering to all concerned to be able to say that the fairs have all been successes in every way. finan- cialIy included.
