TRIPLE ALLIANCE
IS NOW REPORTED
As a Result of Visit of Mon
archS of Three Countries
In Europe,

LONDON, June f6-There is we'll
grounded conviction in England and
throughout Europe that a new triple
alliance is on the boards and will be
consummated In the near future. The
recent visit of President Fallieres Of
France to England and the visit of
King Edward to the Russian car has
started every tongue to .wagging, and
though the foreign offices Of the three
nations concerned have nothing to say,
it is not to be doubted that the rela-
lions of England, France and Russia
are approaching something closer than
an entente cordiale
The tone of the German press is
quite peevish over the prospect that
an alliance of England, France and
Russia may be formed to counter
poise the triple alliance of the three
great central countries of Europe, but
the French press discusses the pros
pect with rapturous enthusiasm. With
its usual caution, the British press
does not commit itself, but an ALI
ance with France and Russia would go
| far toward meeting British aspirations
and necessities. For one thing, the
| burden of Britain's present naval pol
icy would be materially lightened at
once, as it no longer would be neces-
sary for England to maintain navy
as great as the combined navies of any
three other European powers. With
| Germany pushing an ambitious naval
program IL has threatened to swamp
British finances to keep up the ira
ditiona1 policy.
Relief from the necessity Of increas-
ed naval expenditures would be a
welcome one for the government. For
one thing, It is committed to a policy
of old age pensions and has not the
money to put its promises into execu
ton. An alliance with Russia and
France would effect In one year a sum
sufficient TO put the old age pension
/ scheme on a sound basis.
There is another phase of the ALI
ance question which is not discussed
in the British press but which is tht
most important of all Should an ALI
gnce be formed, without doubt it woulC

operation in maintaining their inter

Annual Session of Owners of Consol-

At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Mesa Canal. held Thurs day afternoon. at ? o'clock in the K P. hall, L. C. Hill, general supervising engineer for the '. s. government. who has charge of the projects at Roosevelt, and at Laguna on the Low CT Colorado, presented d statement of the plan of work proposed on the new canals which will be supplied with wa ter from the dam now in course of construction at the former place
 In the statement. Mir. Hill gave the information that plans had been out lined for the purchase of the Consoli- dated canal, by the government and that while the deal in no wise can be considered as consummated. irrange- ments for it's purchase are being made. which it is believed will be satisfactory to all parties concerned. The Consoli- dated is the enlarged portion of the Mesa Canal
 The upper canal at it's head. will be the highest of any on this side of the Salt River and will be ten feet higher than the Highland canal at its head. This new canal will have a grade Of two and one half feet to the mile. while that of the Highland is one and one tenth feet to the mile The new canal, bv following the slope of land which gives a grade of two and one half feet to the mile, will intersect the Highland at a point four miles due east of Mesa, which causes it to grad ually bear to the west of the Highland.
 The gates of the diversion dam now being constructed at Granite Reef. which point will be the head of the canals on both the north and the south sides of the river will admit of the passage of about 50.GOG miners inches of water which will supply users on the south side: while the gates furn- ishing flow for the consumers on the north side will admit of the passage of about double that amount
