1.-THE Conservation of our Natural
Resources. No admission fee will be

assisted by Clifford Pinchot of the ma
tionl forestry department.. G. j.
Blanchard of the reclamation service,
DIR. Holmes of the geological survey
and President Van Hise of the Uniyer-
sity of Wisconsin. He also quotes
from President Roosevelt, Prof.
Chamberlain, Jas. Hill, w. j. Bryan,
Cardinal Gibbons and others. He
treats the subject under four heads
waters, lands, forests, and minerals
drawing attention to the criminal
waste of the past and present. He
urges that as man strives to leave
competence for his children at his
death, SO should a nation leave natural
resources to the generations yet un
born.
This is subject that is being giveE

HELD UP HIS HANDS
 TILL POLICE CAME
A Drunk Tries to Get in a House and
 Is Stood or With Six Shooter.

The spirit of Christmas may have
 something to do with the rather large
 number of drunks and disorderlies that
 are appearing daily in the city police court. At yesterdays session six men were given sentences of from three to seven days. All but one admitted his | guilt
 When J. Caspar's turn came he as serted his innocence in strong language. Me drunk? No sir-ee''
 "The man is drunk yet" Jailer Perrin said.
 I'm just the same as I have been for fourteen years" put in Caspar This statement was not doubted by the court and CasDar was found guilty.
 Ramon Gomez was arrested about o'clock yesterday. morning He was trying to get into house on east Van Buren street. The proprietor heard the noise at the back door. armed himself with q six-shooter and then suddenly opened the door and yelled Hands up." Gomez raised his hands and waived them about in the air
 Now you keep them up or I will fill you as full of holes as a pepper box cover." said the owner. The police were telephoned to and when Officer Sullivan arrived Gomez was still hold ing his hands aloft and trying not to look at the barrel of the six x-shooter that was held in his face. He was unarmed and probably had no intention of robbing the house. but had a very narrow escape from being punctured with bullet He was sent to jail for five da-s.
 D. Martinez got seven days for being | drunk and disorderly: R. Contreras five | days for sleeping on the street: C. Sala- gar three days. and Ed. Stone three !, days for intoxication.

RESERVOIR FACTS
 WATER CONDITIONS
The Situation at Roosevelt Is Decided y Pleasing to the Valley Farmer

The highest point on the Roosevelt dam is now 22S feet. or twelve feet from the crest of the final structure. The lowest point is about 151 feet as near as can be learned The water elevation is about 97 feet. Under the rules of construction the water is not to be allowed within twenty-five feet of the lowest point on the dam, except in an emergency that cannot be avoid ed. In other words. that the contract or's work may not be interfered with the government will not allow the water to be stored within twenty-five feet of the crest at any time unless there is flood of greater proportions than the discharging power Of the valves. tunnel and canal and the flood lasts long enough to fill the basin above that constantly rising twenty five foot line.
 little figuring shows that the gov ernment will at any time welcome a flood of sufficient proportions to raise the elevation in the basin twenty nine feet above its present
Arizona republican., 1909-12-23

height. but more than that it does not want at this time However. in an i emergency that cannot be avoided. it
 has capacity in the basin for fifty 1 four feet Of additional storage. before ; the lowest point on the dam would be | submerged. And except for A little cement trouble for two or three days.
 the dam is getting constantly higher. The tunnel on the north side. mid way between the foundation and the crest of the dam is now progressing l nicely. the valves are in place and will : be in shape in two or three days. to
 be used if necessary for the discharge
 or water. They will be safeguard
 against the water getting too high in
 the event of an ordinary flood. though
 their real purpose is for the discharge
 of such irrigation water as will be re-
 quired in addition to the amount going
 through the penstocks. after the dam IS completed. and when the stored sup
 ply is at q point above the valve
 heading It is not planned to supply
 irrigation water Through the sIuicIng tunnel except in an emergency or when
 the water is below the upper tunnel so there is no other way of getting ii out
 The reason is that continuously dis charging large supply under the ter rife head Of full reservoir would be terribly wearing on the lower or sIuic- ing tunnel and it is better judgment to avoid that when the smaller tunnel higher up can do the work The capacity of the valves in the upper tunnel is 1900 second feet That of course would not handle a very large flood entirely, but it would make an appreciable difference in it. and with
