AN AUTO CONCERN
 CHANGES MANAGERS
Mir. Bacon Succeeds w. H. Patrick in Southwestern Company.

The Southwestern Auto company yesterday changed hands. passing un- der the managerial direction of E. W. Bacon who owns most of the stock and will have entire charge of the business. w. H. Patrick who retires from the company did so owing to other business interests which con flicted and feeling that the close at tention to the auto line was most too taxing. He will remain in PhOe- nix and probably go into the contract ing line which was his business be-
 fore he strayed into the garage field.
 MT. Bacon the new manager has been here for a couple of years and was in charge of I. T. Hosey's Ma tional and came highly recommended. He is d member of the Los Angeles Dealers association and formerly run garage at Hollywood. Relative to any special plans he has he said that as soon as possible new and uptodate machinery would be installed. Later more cars will be purchased. He looks upon this city as one of the most promising fields in the country and is confident that the use and ownership of machines will be great ly extended within the next year.

Tilt SECOND MARRIAGE
 WAS ALSO A FAILURE
The Remarked Wife of Col. John H. Martin Again Sues Him For a Di- Vorce.

For the second time the wife of Col. John H. Martin, formerly of Tucson, but now of New York, is suing him for divorce. The suit was filed at Tucson on Wednesday. Colonel and Mrs. Martin were divorced about five years ago and two years ago they were remarried at New Orleans. The trou- nie was quickly renewed and most of the time since then they have lived apart.
 Mrs. Martin is daughter of the late Judge W. H. Barnes. She and Col. Martin, who had known each other from childhood, married early and lived happily until Col. Martin, with so many other Arizonians became a beneficiary of the opportunities open ed by the sudden wealth of Col. w. c. Greene. Col. Martin became associat- ed with Col. Greene and went to New !. fork with his family In their new anolmproyed surroundings pickering arose and eliminated in the first di- Vorce. Of the present suit the Arizona Star says:
 /. During the past few months there have been rumors of disturbances in the domestic relations of the Martins. who lived recently in New York City, but no facts in regard to the matter could be ascertained until the filing of the complaint in the divorce proceed lngs, in which are set forth allegations of extreme cruelty and abuse towards the plaintiff by the defendant Follow ing is an extract from the complaint:
 The defendant has manifested a
 continuous and persistent course of cruel and offensive conduct toward plaintiff; that at times his language has been abusive, his demeanOr in selent and his actions violent toward her; that his ordinary and usual lan- guage and conduct in her presence has been continuously annoying, irri- tating, offensive and cruel in the ex- treme. but of such a character that it is difficult and impracticable to al- lege numerous and specific instances of cruelty, except that plaintiff remem- bers and alleges that on or about the 18th of January, 1908, at No. 146 Riv- erside drive, New York, the defendant violently knocked down the plaintiff in such manner that she fell and struck her head with force. and suf- fered thereby great pain. and as plain- tiff is informed and believes, perma- nent injury and damage"
 It was impossible to ascertain last evening whether or not the defendant wiH fight the case. but it was report ed that he would allow it to go by de- fault
 The present is not the first trouble that the Martins have had during their married life, as about two years ago proceedings were commenced by Mrs. Martin, but eventually compro- missed. There are three children, two daughters and a son.

American Soldiers Will Fly.

Three flying machines have been accepted by the war department, and trial of them will be made some time in June or July, at Fort Myer, Virginia. across the Potomac from the city of Washington, so writes Rene Bache in the Technical World Magazine for May That military post is situated on the top of considerable hill which affords an extensive area of level ground most suitable for tests of the kind demanded.
 All three of the machines are oper- ated on the aeroplane principle. That is to say, they have no gas bag, and depend for their flying power upon huge wings. They are, in short, arti- ficial birds of huge size. and utilize the air currents to uphold them while aloft. the power of propulsion being furnished by automobile engines Of a type. which economies bulk and weight to the utmost practicable extent.
 In these respects the three accetped machines are alike. In details of their construction, however, they differ widely from each other. But it is not possible to describe them save in such general terms. because everything that relates to them is being kept care- fully secret. Models of them have not been submitted to the war department. but such plans as have been offered are regarded as strictly confidential under the terms of the contracts made by tho government with the inventors.
 The first of the three contrivances. for which contracts have been signed. is the invention of the Wright Bros. of Dayton, Ohio. Their bid was s25.- 900. for the construction of an aero- plane machine which should be satis- factory to the war department experts The second accepted bid was that of A. M. Herring, of No 1881 Broadway, New York. the price te be s20,00o. The third machine is that of James F. Scott. of No. 673 South Rockwell street, Chi cago. He asks for it only 5000.
 Descriptions and discussion of the three aeroplanes, follows, with Illus trations.

PROGRESS or WORK
 ON THf YUMA PROJECT
A Comparison of the Colorado With
 the Great Nile.

The engineer in charge of the Yuma irrigation project, Arizona California, reports that the maximum discharge of the Colorado river for the month of April was 35,OOO second feet, the maximum. 12.90O second-feet.
 On the Arizona side of the Laguna dam the concrete walls have been carried into the outer cofferdam. thus making this feature of the work se- cure. Work is also progressing on the excavation of the sluiceway and placing. of rock in the dam. About 25O men have been employed, working in two shifts.
 On the California side the concrete walls have been well advanced toward the outer cofferdam, and a steam shovel has been installed to take the place of derrick in excavating for sluiceway. On the shore end of the dam the concrete walls have been ex- tended into the bed rock and the pavement on that portion about com pleted. Two hundred men have been employed on this side.
 The reservation levee is now com plete from Yuma to the Laguna dam, with the exception of the brush de- fences, which were. also con- pleted during Tpril for about miles. The railroad along this levee was operated during April, giving a round-trip passenger service daily besides the work train service. Work on the Yuma Valley levee has been finished for the sea son. The levee is now intact from Yuma to the Mexican boundary and for this entire distance it is suffi- ciently high to stand any Colorado rise of record, and all but two miles of it is high enough to keep out the highest known Gila flood
 The Farmers Gravity canal is in shape to supply water when the river gets high enough, and the concrete and the concrete founda- tion for the scoop wheel which is to be installed later, are provided. The pump on the Farmers Pump canal has been operated continuously during April.
 A comparison of the flow of the Nile and the Colorado river Of the West, which has sometime been termed the American Nile, is given in Water Supply Paper 211, just publish ed by the geological survey. The maximum flow of the Colorado is about 10000 second feet; that of the Nile is about S5',- 900 second feet; while the min imum flow of the Colorado IS about 25OO second-feet and that Of the Nile about 14,500 second-feet-
 Like the Nile the Colorado is sub feet to an annual rise that comes at the time when it is most needed for irrigation. but as the stream is far below the level of most of the irri- gable lands, it's waters are available for use on comparatively small area, though two pumping plants at Yuma and several others. on the river above that place lift water for irriga- tion.

A SPECIAL TO THE CONNEN-

TioN-A suggestion has been received at this office from P. NJ. Jewett for the benefit of Phoenicians who desire to attend the Chicago convention. He thinks that it would be better if a car, Pullman or tourist, were charter ed for the trip. He believes that there are enough people here who want to be at the convention to make up the requisite number and he says that he will take two places. He mentions that the car could be used while at Chicago for there will doubtless be more or less trouble in finding suita- ble accommodations there during convention week.

THE SUGAR BEET FACTORY.- There is new reason for believing that next fall will witness a resumption Of the sugar beet industry in this valley The recent court action clearing the title to the sugar factory and trans ferring it to the bond holders, was un- derstoOd as preliminary to getting things in shape for reorganization so the factory could be operated next season. w.

reports from the threshers as the

that the famous Potlatch has kept up

We feel confident that our estimate
of 80 bushels to the acre tor the en-
