ASSEM- BLY,
TAKING WATER FROM THE
GILA RIVER

In another column we publish an
article taken from the Arizona Ga
zette, which tells of another project
which has been launched in New
Mexico to use the surplus waters Of
the Gila River. This new company
proposes to build dam three times
the size of the famous Assouan dam
in Egypt. The Mohawk Canal Com.
pany, of Duncan, is also working on
a project to water 10000 acres in
the Duncan Valley, from the sur.
plus waters of the Gila River.
According to these new irrigation
projects, the surplus waters of the
Gila River will be almost entirely
taken up by the new companies, and
there will be little water left for
the farmers of the Gila Valley to
irrigate their land.
Steps should be taken at once to
protect the priority rights of our
farmers, and prevent any new pro-
ject that seeks to take up all the
surplus waters of the ella River.

Eat what you like.

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest It.
But now there's some things
which your stomach won't digest.
Your stomach absolutely refuses to
accommodate you when you eat
certain food--so you have been
forced by your stomach to eat food
which you detested, and pass up
those delicacies that you would
have really enjoyed.
There Is a way now to eat any
thing you like. II you will let Ko-

Kodol will do this. too. II won't
talk back or command, but will 90

gest all the food you eat. Kodol
will let you eat anything you like
and all you want. and you won't

fullness. and wish you hadn't eaten

You will not have that heart burn.

nine years, but not until now has il

isfactory alike to the owner of the
land and to Congress.
The Senate bill passed by the
House of Representatives has just
been signed by the president. Every
one interested in the great natural
wonders rejoices that as means of
saving the Big Trees, the way has
been paved for practical exchange
of the timber in the groves for
stumpage on other forest land owned
by the government. The first Gala
veras bill was introduced in the
Senate four years ago by Senator
Perkins, of California. Bills for the
same purpose were passed in the
upper house of Congress a number
of times, but always failed of favor
able consideration in the House un-
til Senate Bill 1874, also introduced
by Senator Perkins, was called up
by Congressman S. C. Smith, of
California, last week. ...
Robert B. Whiteside, of Duluth,
Minnesota, prominent lumber
man operating in the Lake States
and on the Pacific Coast, is the own
er of the Calaveras Big Trees. After
his agreement to the proposals
which are simply a practical ex-
change of timber for timber, the
entire California delegation gave its
solid and enthusiastic support to the
bill. No appropriation is needed to
carry out the provisions of the act.
The land to be acquired under the
bill includes about 800 acres in what
is known as the North Calaveras
Grove in Calaveras County, and
3,040 acres in the South Grove in
Tuoline County. The North Grove
contains ninety-three Big Trees and
in the South Grove there are 1890
of these giant sequoias. Any tree
under eighteen feet in circumfer-
snce, or six feet through, is not con-
sidered in the count of large trees.
Besides the giant sequoias there are
hundreds of sugar pines and yellow
pines of astonishing proportions,
ranging to the height of 275 feet
and often attaining a diameter of
eight to ten feet. There are also
many white frs and incense cedars
in the two tracts. A government
study of the land was made by
field party under the direction of
Fred G. Plummer, United States
Forest Service, in 1906.
The Calaveras Big Trees are
known the world over. The North
Grove contains ten trees each having
a diameter of twenty-five feet or
over, and more than seventy having
a diameter Of fifteen to twenty-five
feet. Most of the trees have been
named, some for famous generals of
the United States and others for
statesmen and various States of the
Union. The Father of the For
ests," now down, is estimated by
Hittel, in his Resources of Cali
fornia," to have had a height of 450
feet and diameter at the ground
of more than forty feet when it was
standing. Massachusetts, con-
tains 1850 board feet of lumber;
Governor Stoneman" contains 108.-
600 board feet, and the Mother Of
the Forest" burned in the terrible
forest fire which licked its way into
part of the grove last summer,
contains 05,00O board feet. Each
of these trees named grows as much
lumber as is grown ordinarily on
fifteen or twenty acres of timber
land. The bark runs from six inches
to two feet in thickness. Among
other large named trees in the two
groves arc Waterloo "Pennsyl-
vania, James King" old Bach
elor," Pride of the Forest" Dan
iel Webster" Sir Jonn Franklin"

Revelation of Snobbishness. 4l.e n1,le pocf Dicraa nia

From the St. Louis FO6t-DSpatcn.
 Refusing to give information con- corning the cause of Harriman's death, Dr. Lyle, who was his special physi- clan, said to reporter: Knowledge of the cause eliminated any reason for an autopsy, and the certificate of death will not be open to inspection" Why is not the death. certificate open for inspection? Who will conceal 1t and for what reason? The death certif- cate is public record. No official has a right to suppress public record. Nor would such thing be attempted except by a group of snobs whose habit of groveling to a money-bag master has warped their minds. liar riman was masterful, able, overbear- ing man, but his personal ways were democratic. The ways of some of the men, however, who have come into a little authority by reason of their rela- tions with him are ridiculously arro- gant The incidents of the mans Ill., ness and death-simple and impress sive facts which ought to be treated with sincerity and symlpathy-mak one wonder how far the insolent snob- bishness of the parasites of plutocracy will go.
