sANouETlNe.

There has been much banqueting
of business men recently in Arizona.
Douglas led OFF with dollar dinner
for the purpose of getting the busi-
ness men together for the purpose Of
organizing a chamber of commerce in
this city. The success of this banquet
was great and it resulted in an org
anization which will be able to ac-
eomplish much for Douglas and the
country tributary to the city. Bisbee
was next to come forward with a
banquet, announced to be given by
the board of trade. as an occasion for
iubilation over the fact that prosper
ity had continued in Bisbee to a re
markable degree during the financial
slump which engulfed the entire
country last fall. Certainly it was
the proper thing to have an occasion
especially set apart for expression of
appreciation of the fact that while in
many of the copper countries of the
country production had been stopped.
the Bisbee companies had continued
work in the mines without any con-
siderable curtailment, being able to
keep many men on development work
during a partial curtajIment of pro-
ductlon at the smelters in Douglas.
Phoenix was also the scene of BAN
quet this week when the board of
trade of that city was entertained by
]. C. Adams at his hotel. According
to reports the Phoenix banquet was
a grand success. 1t was given by Mr..
Adams because, as he said, the board
of trade of the capital city had al
ways been a pet of his and he de
sired to do something which might
/! further stimulate it in additional work
for Phoenix at a time when every
thing was SO propitious for greater
advancement
The getting together of the bust
ness men of any community on such
occasions as we have recited cannot
fail to bring good results It is often
the case when prominent business
men become grouchy towards each
other because of very small things, to
bring them together in an effort to
bring greater prosperity to the home
city must, to some extent, arouse
their patriotism and cause them to
/ forget the past and look to the fu
ture. A war viii bring the people Of
nation together for defensive and Of
fensive action where the welfare OF
country is threatened, and this bring
ing the people of city together to
lay plans for future development OF
industries which promise increased

ty must have a similar result.
1t is to be hoped there will be mort
banqueting among the business mer
Of ARIZONA in the future. as the re

CIRCUS FREAKs-THEIR
PASSING AND FUTURE.


The circus freaks are TO go, and
thus is struck another blow against
the rights, the privileges and the ira
ditlons of the plain people of this
country. Very rightly may the plain
people and their representatives rise
and enquire, whittier are We drift
ing" and view with alarm" the
signs of the times" The circus as it
has been operated since the rise OF
Barnum is an American institution.
The American people have encour-
aged it and fostered 1t through all
these years. The big parade, the
sawdust rings, the powdered clowns,
the grand entree, the swaying trap
eye, the high and lofty tumblers
the horseback riding by the dainty
! equestrienne with the costume cut
netherwards, the grand concert, the
side show. the pink lemonade and the
peanuts and popcorn are each and al
integral parts of the American cir,
cus-the kind the plain people Of this
country have patronized ever since
they were boys and girls and since
they have had boys and girls of their
own.
But what care the circus owners
for this? Nothing whatever. They
formed themselves into trust, and
right away began to slash and cut
time-honored features from their pro
gram. The first move was to droT
the grand pageant up the main
street. This was done several years
ago by the biggest and oldest of fhe

RECOMMEND BIG DAM
FOR IRRIGATION SUPPLY
Reservoir to Be Large Enough
to Supply 1900 Acres on
OrIand Project

In report to the director Of the
reclamation service at Washington
plans and specifications for a dam and
reservoir large enough to store water
for irrigating 1900 acres of land on
the Orland project in the Sacramento
valley have been recommended by the
consulting board, consisting of Engi-
neers Quinton, Henny and Humphreys.
Bids for the work will be advertised
for within a few weeks.
The engineers have recommended a
concrete dam 80 feet high, with i'm
bedded concrete blocks, to create a
reservoir with capacity of $4,000 acre
feet This will provide an ample hold
over supply of water for years Of
scanty flow in the creek. It is to be
known as the Stony Creek or East
Park reservoir.
The Orland project is the initial pro-
tect for reclaiming lands in the Sacra-
mento valley. The lands which will
be benefited by the reservoir have for
many years been used for growing
wheat. and have become impoverished.
By irrigation and proper rotation of
crops 1t is claimed they will be made
as fertile as any in the state. Most of
the land is 250 feet above sea level

LAST "TAPS" SOUND
FOR GENERAL MILES
Col. john H. Roberts Recites
Warriors Services After
Ritual in q. A. r. Hall

The funeral of General Evan Miles
was largely attended yesterday morn
ing at the Grand Army of the Republic
hall, corner of Geary and Steiner
streets, while concourse of friends
followed in the funeral procession to
the national cemetery at the Presidio
The ceremonies at the hall consisted
of the ritual of the Grand Army. and a
brief recital of General Miles long
service in the army, delivered in a
most impressive manner by Colonel
John H Roberts, adjutant of the
George III. Thomas post.
AS the casket was borne from the
hall the Knickerbocker quartet sang
'Tenting on the Old Camp Ground"
with SO much pathos that tears
streamed from the eyes of the old war
riors who had fought with General
Miles.
Beautiful floral tributes were sent
from the Grand Army, the Loyal Le-
gion, officers at the Presidio and friends
in the city.
At the Lombard street entrance to
the Preside the funeral cortege was
met by Major ]. M. Ruckman and the
military escort. 1t consisted of a bat
talon of artillery, acting as infantry,
a battalion of field artillery and a
troop of cavalry. Heading the solemn
procession was the Third artillery
corps band.
The, services at the grave were sim
pie, consisting of the firing of three
volleys. while minute guns were fired
from the time the funeral cortege en-
tered the post until 1t arrived at the
cemetery. Taps was sounded after
all by trumpeter of artillery.
