All are invited 10 jon the scandal guild and clear their systems. Discussion will be privileged, as is traditional with parliapentary bodies; no mem- her of the guild will be held to account for words spoken during the session. A free interchange of views is solic- tied. Rule number one of the bylaws requires that any member shall leave the room at the request of any two ether members; this provision being designed to encourage latitude of com- ment. The presence of the minister is prohibited except by unanimous in- vitation. Members of the church choir are excluded, as it is held that these are already sufficiently provided for by the Sunday sessions in the organ loft. The new guild will affiliate with the Other Peoples Troubles club for mutual helpfulness to maintain a live ly interest in church affairs.

DISCOURAGED BUT NOT CAST
 DOWN.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Tucson Post, is hopeful but not as- sured of the ultimate triumph of New Mexico. So many apparently open roads to statehood have led only into impossible sloughs and so many promises have been broken that the Posts hope is buoyed up only by the possibility that some time a promise may be fulfilled. Says the Post:
 The result of the visit of the New Mexico statehood delegation to Wash inSton was only another promise New Mexico and Arizona are both entitled to sera-ate statehood right now, but there is nothing to hope for in that d-rectiQn- It seems that President Roosevelt was premature in his prom ise last year made to Governor Curry that he would assist the territory to admission as a state during the first session of the siXtieth congress. Now it is said that New Mexico will be admitted at the short session. We hope that this last promise will get better fulfillment than other promises which have been made in the past, as there is no doubt that the date of the admission Of New Mexico will also see the release of Arizona from the terri tcrial wilderness. In every required qua 'ification Arizona is as ready for statehood as New Mexico.

WORK OF RECLAMATION
 IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
A Favorable Report O. a Site Near
 Nocales hy Engineer Recd.

NogaleS, Ariz., Jan. Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- A few years ago the board of super visors O. Santa Cruz county, Arizona, realizing that the valley of the Santa Cruz vas rich :n farming land. but considerable part of it undeveloped by
 reason O. lack O. water. decided to in- vestigate the possibilities of building a reservoir at some feasible point for the purpose of storing the flood waters
 that constantlg were going to waste. and ordered Charles E. Perkins, local engineer to make plat and survey of 2 damsite on the Santa Cruz river.
 Considerable time was spent in the
 investigations, and after carefully
 weighing and studying conditions from
 every standpoint. the engineer report
 ed the result Of his work to the super
 visors but nothing was ever done
 Soon after the organization of the No
 gales and Santa Cruz cOunt.' board of trade a committee on irrigation was appointed. having for it's object the securing of the building of a reservoir by the government on the Santa Cruz river, and after determined efforts on their part the movement was started by the government establishing a gazing station. which has already re- suited in much good in determining the depth O. water at all times, the quantity of water and the flow at mean and Food times.
 Howard s. Reed. assistant engineer of the reclamation service in charge of Arizona projects under MT. L. C. Hill, made several visits to the gazing sta ton and finally reported that he would be bale to recommend to his depart ment that oreliminar" work be started towards the building Of the reservoir as soon as opportunity presented itself after the larger projects were complet- ed.
 The report O. the engineer states that about foCr miles above the in ternational boundar-' line in canyon an excellent spot was secured Cor the building Of dam, but was too eX- pensive a project for private enter prise. U9on examination it was de- veloped that bedrock could be secured at onl- A feet from the surface. The soil is Q stiff. red cIav and the river bed Is sand and gravel. and right at this point where bed rock was secured the volume os water was far in excess of that for miles up or down the river"
 The proposition !s to build dam eighty feet high. As earth and stone of excellent cualit-- can be secured in on both sides of the site the cost Is thus materiall-- reduced, and fifty thousand cubic yards of earthwork would cost twenty five thousand dollars. and thirty-five

 The board of trade IS making every effort to have Chief Engineer l.. C. Hill of the reclamation service per sonally visit the above site, and all though 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 t is convenient he will endeavor to come down and see for himself what grand opportunity awaits the government to build a reservoir that will make the Santa Cruz valley in Arizona one of the fin est agricultural communities in the whole southwest
