Syracuse Commercial Club will
Try to Get Government to
Take Hold OF Canal PROPOSE
tion to Divert Water from
Arkansas During Floods, and
distribute it Over Several
Counties.

Engineers have been going over
the Soule ditch in this county this
week, getting information regarding
it, probably to be used in the effort
which is being made by company
to get hold OF this property prepara-
tory to launching large project IN
irrigation and land deals. A short
time ago the Colorado Investment
company took up the matter OF ac-
curing the rights Of the English
syndicate which at least did at one
TIM hold a title to this ditch, with
th, view Of an extensive enterprise in
land and irrigation.
There is another big scheme on
foot which may, or may not be apart
Of the same movement, starting from
a different direction. On February
27, at Syracuse q meeting is to be
held to which representatives from
the towns and commercial clubs Of
owns along the Arkansas have oeen
invited. The secretary OF the COM
mercial club here has received a re-
quest to send representatives from
Dodge City. The invitations are sent
out by the commercial club OF Syra-
cuse, and they state that the object
Of the meeting is to devise ways and
means to get the government to take
hold Of food water ditch in West
ern Kansas. The idea is to bring a
canal out Of the Arkansas at some
point in Colorado, through which the
waste waters of the Arkansas at flood
times may be brought through
Hamilton, Kearney, Finney, Gray
and Ford counties, and whatremains
Of it after being used along the route
for winter irrigation and filling
storage ponds to be returned to the
river near Kinsley.
A project Of this kind, naturally,
would require the use OF the old
Soule ditch in Ford and Gray
counties, and even If there is no con.
nection between these two projects
now, there would be in the event OF
the government taking hold of the
plan urged now at Syracuse.
They claim for the project OF a
government canal that it would pre-
vent destructive floods in the future,
and that the continual loss OF bridges
on the Arkansas would be thing Of
the past, as we'll as all Of the other
damages incurred by foods.
The great claim, however, is based
upon the experiments made by the
government in winter irrigation. All
Of the lands along the ditch across
these several counties could be
thoroughly soaked at food times.
And it is claimed that experiments
prove that winter soaking is the most
valuable method Of irrigation.
There is one thing in favor Of
attending this meeting and testing
the possibility Of getting the govern
ment interested in the matter, and
that is that everyone realizes that it
is little short Of criminal negligence
TO allow these food waters to be
wasted, when there is vast wealth in
them could they be applied to the
soil. The question Of the practic
ability Of raising the underfow for q
continuous supply Of water for irriga-
tion contains serious problems Of OK
pense and water supply which do not

Causes Debility Here Are Facts Backed Up By a Strong Guarantee

Catarrh causes debility. In our opinion. most people suffering from general debility have catarrh. Such cases of debility cannot be completely cured by medicine not designed to eradicate catarrh. In every case where our remedy fails to give entire satis- faction we will not charge a cent for the medicine employed during the trial. Now. surely no one should hes itate to believe us or to put our claim to a practical test under such conditions. We will take all the risk: no one can lose anything by the trans action.
 We make these statements and this offer because we know and have time and again proved that Rexall Muco- Tone rarely fails to do as we claim. It is not a cure-all prescribed to cure every disease that flesh is heir to. It is intended for one purpose. i. Q, to cure catarrh by assailing the dis eased condition in n reasonable, scien- tfic way. which is to employ agents that have been fou.Id to have the tonic and alterative power to correct faulty metabolism (tissue change) and to stimulate and help nature overcome the cause or causes of catarrh. This being done, appetite increases. nutri- tion improves. weight is gained. com fort of body 1t attained and life's work taken up with the zest natural to the perfectly healthy individual.
 We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone. Follow directions and take it regularly and consistently for a req sonable length of time. Then, if you are not satisfied. come back and tell us and the money you paid for the treatment will be returned with out any argument whatever.

 Guilty.

Tomas Adair, who had been indIct- ed for an outrageous assault upon Jo- vita Mendez. d 1S-year-old girl, yes terday pleaded guilty when he was arraigned. He will be sentenced to- morrow. Adair has frequently been on trial for similar and many other offenses in this county and Pima. but until now he has managed tor slip through the clutch of the law. Adair Is especially aggrieved at Constable Murphy. who arrested him. He said that the people among whom his of fense was committed would not have known enough to make complaint if 1t had not been for the interference of the officer.
 w. A. Brizzee. who had been in- dicted the day before for assault with deadly weapon, also pleaded guilty | and will be sentenced tomorrow

 Jose Berguda was arrested for grand larceny in robbing Edward Me Clarty of a watch, other valuables and cash.
 
 progress and it is probable that it will take an adjournment today until Saturday. A report embracing the cases considered yesterday will be considered this morning.

COMFORTABLE SEATS
 FOR PHOENIX YOUTH
Posts of Honor in Close Proximity to
 the Grand Jury Room.

There was a brave array of youth from Phoenix and the surrounding district at the court house yesterday. The boys, all under age. were pro- upper corridor. facing the door of the grand jury room so that they could have an unobstructed view of it when it was opened to admit witnesses or let them out.
 Not only did the boys have good seats but they were supposed to be drawing a per diem for their attend ance. Most of them had never had such an easy, remunerative job before The money they were going to get would be velvet" It was just like finding it: it was like taking candy from a baby; it was almost a shame to take the money from Maricopa county
 But still the youth were dissatisfied about something. They Srinned sheep ishly and viewed with apprehension the swinging door of the grand jury room and looked with awe and tremb- ling upon the district attorney when he was about to announce the name of ,the next witness.
 But when one was called and passed Into the mysterious inquisitorial chamber the boys resumed a whisper ed conversation in which now and then was heard a profane or imprint able word. They were. according to the confession of one of them. "cussin' Canning" the active agent of the Anti Saloon league. who they believed was in some way responsible for their promotion to seats of honor in front of the grand jury room. They sup posed that they had been brought there to testify as to whether cer- tain saloonkeepers were keeping the letter as well as the spirit of the law prohibiting the sale of liquor to min ors

 In his career as a racer. Dan paced fifty-siX Nrace miles defeating every horse that ran against him. It was after he had defeated such horses as Searchlight. Connor, Indiana and others that he became an exhibition horse and began to run against time as there were no other horses to compete with him. He began this in 1902 and closed. the season with a record of 1:59A. He was then pur-

KELLER SENTENCE is UPHELD
Army Captain Must Serve Two Years
for Theft of Blank
Checks.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2l.-Judge Landis' rulings
In the case OF Daniel F. Keller, who was
sentenced to two years In the prison at
Fort Leavenworth for larceny OF six blank
quartermaster's checks, were affirmed by
the United States appellate court today.
Keller, a captain in the army, was con-
victed of the theft of the checks, on which
the government set a value of cent each.
Although Keller was alleged to have Sc
cured several thousand dollars by forging
the checks, technical difficulties stood in
the way OF trying him on a charge of
forgery. and the charge Of larceny of the
blank checks was therefore made. In his
appeal Keller argued that the checks had
no monetary value, and that hence a charge
of larceny did not lie. Keller is now serv-
ing his sentence.

weeks recess, the members of the senate
made glad the hearts of the advocates of
equal suffrage by passing the resolution
for the submission OF vote on suffrage
to the people OF the state at the next gem
eral election. This resolution in past ses-
sions has called out oratory and hot
fight. This year not a speech was made
and only three votes were cast against the
proposition. At present the house appears
to be favorable TO the proposition, and they
have all gone home feeling hopeful OF secur-
ing their resolution at this session.
One OF the last bills introduced was that
to provide for state hail insurance through

ment This is a step toward state socialism,
which the members will hardly wish to
take, and the bill will no doubt call out a

Furthermore. the bestowal of charity is
