utilization of all water obtainable | from and by means of the Arizona canal and appurtenances, together with all rights to erect and maintain power plants and all rights to divert water from Salt river. 5 Prohibits the assignment of the contract.
 I have not attempted to give the terms of the contract in extenso. but merely abstract it for the purposes of this statement. For the purpose of the comparison by you of the , terms of these two contracts, that between the Arizona Water company and the Phoenix Light and Fuel com pany and that between the govern ment and the Pacific Gas and Flee tric company. so far as that may be readily done, I cOllate the following provisions:
 I speak of the contract of March 1. 1901, as the old contract and the one of June 22, 1907, between the Electric company as the new con- tract.
 By the old contract the term or the right was g years from it's date "a little more than six years of which had expired at the date of the new contract.
 By the new contract the term of the right is ten years, to date from the time the government can begin to supply power under it's provisions.
 By the old contract the right was to the exclusive use of all the water power obtainable from water diverted by the Arizona Water company
 By the new contract the right is limited to 6 maximum delivery of 1900 kilowatts of energy, being a lit tie more than a third of that con templated by the old contract to be immediately utilized, and a probabil- ity of much more as need for it arose.
 Under the old contract the electric company had a right to the flow of all the water diverted by the Arizona canal for the development of power.
 Under the new contract the electric company has no right to the flow of any of the water. nor any right to interfere with it or its manner of di- version or course of distribution whatever.
 Under the old contract the exclu- sive right extended to any person in or out of Phoenix and to any use whatever.
 In the new contract the right ex- cludes only. the general retailing of power to customers in Phoenix or furnishing it to any one in Phoenix to be again sold or retailed. There is no limitation beyond that upon the sale of power contained in the new contract.
 It should be noted that the subject of the old contract was the right to the use of water to develop power for the purpose of estimating the price to be paid for it is was to be reckoned in kilowatts of electrical energy, The subject matter of the new contract is electric power or en- ergy which is measured in kilowatts.

PEOPLE OF PARKER . WANT A VACATION
They Are conceaIing Whatever Might
 Provoke Rush to That Regio=.

James B De Shane, who has been connected with Larry Garesche in a hotel enterprise at Parker. came in from the front last night. Mir. DeShane is a newspaper man who has had all the experience that profession furnish- es, from coast to coast, but the hotel business in g. railroad front town of fers something in addition.
 There is just now an air of quietness at Parker and the inhabitants want it so. They are gathering their strength together for the rush that is certain to take place this fall. There have been recently several rich gold strikes in that vicinity; such strikes as would set Nevada afire but the discoverers and all others have kept their finds within the community for they do not want 9 rush now What they have found will keep until fall. In the mean time they will not be deprived of their summer vacations.
 Mir. DeShane brought with him a sample of gold ore from the Billy Mack mine which by the way is not a new discovery. Mack has owned the prop erty for twenty-eight years. He has never tried to sell and has never want ed to sell it. for it has answered all the purposes Of bank for him. He has lived in luXuriOusness off of it and so rar as he could see his balance was never diminished. In fact the mine is worth more in the market now than ever He has been offered SS000O for it but he says he will take nothing less than s100.0OO. Those who know any thing about the property have not the slightest doubt that he will get it be- fore fall.
 The bridge at Parker. MT. DeShane says, is now complete except for a lit tie finishing work on the last span It is now practically ready for tine track laying gang.

and the electrical company-at any
 rate it was not so contended. It was valuable right; just how valuable | is matter for computation for eX- perts. It is stated, it is true, in the letter of the board of trade. commer- cial club and the city to the direc-
 tor, that it is a matter of common knowledge, locally, that the value of
 the old contract was uncertain be- cause Of the fact that the manner of securing water for the canals was not dependable until the government through it's storage plans corrected the uncertainty" is hardly accurate at least it is incomplete. There was complete certainty that at some time the water flowing in Salt river would be diverted continuously and perna- nently for the irrigation of lands on both sides of the river. This could not be done without rendering capa- ble of use that flow for the develop ment of power. If the electric com pany's contract was a valid one, then that company became necessarily the beneficiary.
 But it must be conceded that the right was of some value. As that right stood it was an obstruction to the plans of the government for the improvement of the distributing sys- tenn of the water for irrigation. It was an. obstruction to the erection of Granite Reef diversion dam. Sev- eral alternatives were open to the government.
 1. In recognition of the right of hn a1a tria fn +lo water run in it's accustomed way so that it might use tine power to ren- der the canal property of any avail the dam and other works would have had to be replaced at large cost and a system of distribution of water for irrigation perpetuated which was eX- pensive wasteful and unsatisfactory. It would also have rendered to a considerable extent at least imprae- ticable the construction of the Gran ite Reef dam.
 2. To ignore any claim of right of the electric company under it's con- tract with the Arizona Water com pany. This would almost certainly have led to expensive and vexatious litigation and to incidental delay in volving damage to the farmers of the valley far beyond calculation-it would have been incomparably more advantageous to the farmers to have furnished the electric company the 1000 or 1500 horsepower free of cost for ten years. It would also in my opinion in the end have resulted in decision by the court in favor of the electric company.
 3. To purchase whatever right the light company may have had under the contract. 1 need hardly suggest the impracticability of this. Men diff fer radically as to the value of that right; indeed some deny the right itself. while others, particularly the electric company. deemed it of great value. An agreement under those conditions seemed hopeless for a di- rect purchase.
 4. To condemn the right of the electric company to the use of this water. This procedure was objec from many points of view. It involved litigation with all it's in cidental delays and vacations. The value of the right would have had to be determined and in such cases the jury is always disposed to and justly does put a liberal esti- mate on the value of property con demned, so that this procedure was
Arizona republican., 1908-06-02

not advisable if any other could be found.
 3. Finally. the government as the 1 owner of the property formerly held ! by the water company and it's sue
 cessors in interest and subject to the | obligations in respect to this contract
 and the electric company might en- | ter into an agreement having for it's purpose the modification of the rights of the electric company in some way to adjust the situation to the needs of the reclamation service in perfect ing the water system designed to supply the farmers of the valley with water for irrigation.
 This fifth alternative was adopted. It will be remembered that the Pa ciffc Gas and Electric company was at the date of the contract to which
 l now intend to refer, and so far as
 I am advised. still is the assignee or grantee, of all the rights to supply
 the inhabitants of Phoenix with gas and electric energy which l have heretofore enumerated or to which I have referred.
 The memorandum of the agreement T that behalf by Louis C. Hill. super vising engineer. and the Pacific Gas and Electric company. bears date of June 22, 1907. It recites that con- tract is entered into under the pro- visions of the national irrigation act, the contract of March l, 1901. entered into between the Phoe-
 nix Light and Fuel Co. and the Arizona Water Co.-the succession in interest of the Pacific Gas and Flee tric company to the Phoenix Light and Fuel company and of the gov ernment to those of the Arizona Water company. It further recites that it is for the interest of both parties to provide other means of supplying the power which was the subject of that contract and to sub stitute otheS terms of agreement. It recites that the government is en- gagged in constructing power plant
 in connection with the Salt river project and a transmission line there from.
 In consideration of these premises it was agreed
 1. That the government should furnish the electric company with power by means of the power plant and transmission line before mention ed, for a period of ten years from the date of the beginning of the sup ply up to maximum load of i500 kiIowatts at it's peak.
 ?. The electric company agrees to paS for the power so supplied at the rate of 11s cents per kilowatt hour.
 2. The government further agrees that it will not during the time it is furnishing power under this contract to the electric company center into a general retailing of power to GUS toners in the city of Phoenix nor to furnish power to anyone in said city to be again sold or retailed.' The government may. however, sell or lease power in the city of Phoenix at any time in blocks of 100 to 300 kilowatts and over, to anyone to be used for manufacturing industries, waterworks, or pumping plants"
 1. When the government is pre- pared to furnish the power as con tracted then the contract of March 1, 1901, is rescinded and the terms and stipulations of this agreement substituted therefor, and the electric company agrees to surrender, release and convey to the government all the rights it has for the development and

means of the Arizona dam into and thence by means of the various named canals. conveyed to the places of ulti- mate use by the irrigatOrs of lands. At various points along these canals the water conveyed through them could be utilized for the crea- tion of a large amount of power for. among other purposes the genera tion of electrical energy.
 There vas at that time, March l, 190D two points particularly adapted to such use, ore on what g-as then called the new Crosscut or Power can al. and mentioned in the contract to which I shall shortly refer as the site for Power plant No. l, and the other at the falls of the Arizona canal and mentioned in that contract as the site for power plant No. ? At the site for plant No. l, it was estimated by com petent engineers that power from the flow of the water there. to an amount at least equal to 700 horse power,

Eeautify Your
Complexion at Home

The old saying, You cannot eat your
cake and have it," is particularly ap-
plicable to the woman of today. We
keep late hours, indulge in little more
candy than we should, eat richer foods
than nature DEGREES, and yet wonder
why we have sallow complexions My
dears, If you won't get up in the early,
early morning, milk the cows and live
the simple outdoor life and go to bed
with the chickens, then you must help
out Mother Nature a little If you want
bright, clear complexion.
The following toilet preparation Is
perfectly harmless to the tenderest
skin, and in thousands of cases has
made compilations soft and velvety
and has brought a tint of roses to SAL
low cheeks.
Obtain at your drug store Rose
Water, 2 ounces; Cologne Spirits,
ounce; Eppotone (skin food), 4 ounces.
Put the Eppotone in a pint Of hot
water (not boiling), and after dis
solved, strain and let cool. Then add
the Rose Water and Cologne Spirits.
In order to follow directions exactly It
is best to mix the ingredients at home.
