DOUGLAS DON'T MIND IF BISBEE WINS OUT
Little Truth in Report That the Shelter City Opposes Court
 House Removal.

Raymond s. Coll, until recently man aging editor of the Review. and now running the Douglas Dispatch, was in Bisbee yesterday on a visit to the camp. Coll is well pleased with his new surroundings, but was in Bisbee long enough to want to come back occasionally for a visit
 When asked regarding the senti- ment of the Douglas people in regard to the removal of the county seat from Tombstone to Bisbee, he stated that he knew of no foundation for the report that Douglas people were op. posing the change. If there was any opposition, he stated, it was working very quietly. Coll will remain in Bis bee today. returning to Douglas this afternon.

Continued from First Page) snodderly. both of whom have ianc. es near the Huacnueas, left yesterday for the big National Irrigation con gress which is to be held in Albuquer- que. Ed Williams, immigration in- spector, will leave this morning. The ccngleS bids fair to be the most mem orable ever held, and it is gratifying .o know that the resources of Coshise win be s1geltised among the tnOIs ards of visitors who will attend.
 The Irrigation Congress, which meets today at Albuquerque, is really a great event in the history of man. It is one of the events comparable with discoveries in electrical power, fin wireless telegraphy and the many others that presage the real manhood of our race, the day when this whole earth will be cultivated garden, re- fiecting mans care and supplying fit ting home for a really civilized race of human Beings
 The eighty millions of human beings in America will attend the congress in spirit and rejoice in its work, it's op- timism, its plans for future achieve ment Irrigation means everyruing tU human beings. Men are not fore-ee going to live cooped up by millions in horrible cities.
 Men have been compelled to crowd into cities. to see their children die and grow up far ffom the beauty of the earth. because inadequate trans portation facilities have compelled the citys congestion.
 | ha irf.i finra work hHpr11n | by our ration will add to the national | territory fit for homes and cultivation sixty million acres of land. This is a
 very great and a very rich country, The people own a hundred millions of acres in their forest reserye-room and wealth for another nation. This
 great reserve is held for the benefit of | future generations. But it's value vii
 be as nothing compared with the in creasiug value Df the nation as a whole, due to irrigation, which not Ionly reclaims lands utterly useless,
 but multiplies greatly the value of al land.
 The details of the national task are
 gigantic. In one place the water of | the Colorado river is carried through
 a gigantic siphon under the Gila river t1 irrigate lands on the other side of
 the Gila.
 | At one point a great artificial lake
 is to be created in basin in the hills of New Mexico. An entire river will be turned inIo this basin, five mouh-
 tain gaps will be stopped up, the
 water will be saved tAs for the dry | season.
 | Part of the Shoshone river in Wy
 oming will be taken from it's course stored up by great dam in canyon. and in the dry season that store o1 water will irrigate 175,000 acres. The Truckee River in Nevada has been shifted from itS bed, carried in a canal thirty-one miles long into an other valley, at an expenditure of

80 days. Palmer had only been out Of
the jail little over week. In dis
closing where he got his liquor, lie said

with some peppermint essence which he
purchased in drug store. That was
the finishing touch.
There have been very few cases in the
