A Crooked Parallel.

II was decreed by the convention OF
1918 and the treaty OF Washington Of
1876 that the boundary between the
United States and Canada from the
Lake Of the Woods to the Pacific, a
distance Of 1870 miles, should follow
the forty-ninth parallel The survey
ors who have lately completed the lo-
cation OF the boundary have found
that the astronomical parallel varies
from a direct circle around the earth,
and Professor Otto Klotz explains the
curious fact that the line, instead OF
being straight, Is at one point 500
feet south Of the direct circle and at
another place 600 feet north. II was
decided that the astronomical parallel
or line through places wher the pole
Is Al degrees from the zenith, should
be the accepted boundary. This deci-
sion was followed. but local attraction

OF LOCAL INTEREST

THE TEMPE vOTE-The board of supervisors yesterday canvassed the Tempe local option vote. The official returns are not in any way different from those given out on the night of the election. In the precinct outside of the corporation there were S5 votes for prohibition and IA against it. In the town there were s7 votes for prohibi- tion and 10S against it.
 LOOKING FOR J. HARvEY-The city marshal is looking for John liar vey who was last heard from in Dem yer about five years ago. He is being sought by his mother, Mrs. William Harvey of Knob Noster. Mo. The young mans father has died recently and his presence at home is earnestly desired
 THE MONEY IS READY-The Os- born school district has gone into li- quidation without. however. any mo- ton of going out of business. It is merely paying all just claims against it. The warrants have all been made out and they are being distributed by 1 D. W Oou at lht olliNt IL must not be understood though that the school district is in the hands of the sheriff.
 MORE HORSES THAN HE WANTS Claude Johnson. an Indian living on the Salt River reservation. called at the office of the sheriff yesterday to report a surplusage of horses. A few days ago a gray mare and a dark brown horse colt without brands came to his place and he has been unable to locate the owner in that part of the coun- try. He cannot afford to feed them at the present high price of hay. and would like to have them removed
 THE BRIDGE MATTER-Dwight B. Heard and other subscribers to the Center street bridge bonus were before the board of supervisors yesterday for an informal conference regarding the bridge. No plan had been formed to be offered tO the board. but it was agreed that the subscribers should form some sort of q proposition to be submitted to Mayberry and Parker. the architects, suggesting such a modifi- cation Of the plans as may be agree able to the board and one which they can undertake the construction of the bridge.
 JOSE TOMS cONvALESCENCE- When Deputy Sheriff Toney opened the cell department at the county jail yes terday morning the first individual that met his gaze was Jose Tom the In- dian who had been shot through and through on Sunday morning. Jose Tom wanted to know how soon break fast would be served. Jose Tom was hungry: he had not eaten much the day before; his appetite had been im- paired by the events of the preceding day. But it had returned to him in full force within twenty hours after the officials had gathered about him to take his dying statement It is the opinion of the deputy sheriff that who- ever wants to kill Jose Tom will have to use something bigger than bullet of g. caliber. Jose Tom just eats mis- sles of that size.

TOMS FRIEND GETS FIVE DAYS

Frank Jones, one of the Indians who was drinking with Jose Tom who was shot while attempting to gain entrance to the home of F. R. Kerr, Sunday morning. was sentenced to five days in the city Jail for drunkenness yester- day. An ugly looking dagger was found in the mans room back of the Phillips house where he is employed. but as he did not have il on his per son he could not be charged with any thing more serious than intoxication.
 NOT FREAK RADISHES-In east ern markets radishes larger than hens fruit would be looked upon as mon strosity and eyed with suspicion. Not so. in the Salt River valley. over in the windows of the Valley Realty com pany is a radish fourteen inches long and weighing nearly ten pounds. And it is not a turnip masquerading as radish. There is another of the same breed that is almost as large. They were grown by Bivins out on the Cor don Tweed ranch a half mile beyond the Brill addition. There is also a fine exhibit of ear corn grown by J. w. uiitN pl pitHudle III tHe same Wln- dow.
 SEEKING LOST SoN-George H. Taylor. clerk in the office of the board of trade. has received a letter through mutual friends. from James Dalrymple. of Delawanna N J., mak- ing inquiry concerning the where abouts of his son. John R. Dalrymple, and enclosing the latters picture. The letter says that the young man came here about year ago and shortly afterward ceased writing home. since which time nothing has been heard of him The letter does not intimate that he was in i'll health nor does the picture indicate it. The picture looks like that of robust young man. heavily clad, attired as he might be for a trip in the direc- tion of the north pole. with heavy overcoat and trousers tucked into bis boots or under leggings. It is be- lieved he is merely careless about writing. unless some unexpected mis- fortune has overtaken him. Anyone knowing his whereabout will confer favor by calling on Mir Taylor. It is possible that some person may in distinctly recall him. in which event he can see the picture by recalling to Mir. Taylor.

President Sends Engineers
Report, With a Message,
to Congress.
GATUN DAM SOLID,
EXPERTS DECLARE
Point Out Reasons Why Lock Type
Is Better Plan Than Any Others.
Effect Of Report.
By JOHN SNURE

"That it would be an ineXcuSable
folly TO change from the proposed
lock canal to a sea level canal" is
The statement of President Roosevelt
in transmitting to Congress today
the report of the engineers who Wis
tied Panama with President-elect
Taft.
More than this, the President de-
ClareS TO Congress that the report
not only determines definitely the
type of canal, but makes it evident
that hereafter attacks on liz 1ock
type are in reality attacks upon the
policy of building any canal at all"
In this emphatic fashion does
President Roosevelt seek to spike
the guns Of Senators Kittedge, For
aker, and others who are bent on
making a desperate assault on the
lock type Of canal before the session
closes and their terms in Congress
end. How far the report of the en-
gineerS viii 90 to silence these critics
and others remains to be seen.
No Chance for Change.
II is at least certain that # has been
made utterly out OF the question for
the lock type Of canal 10 be changed,
either In this Congress or at any time
in the near future.
It IS given as The judgment or friends

who accompanied Bfr- TAFT settles il ir-
reyoCably that the lock canal viii be
constructed and that nothing short of
q great disaster 10 the lock canal at
some time ia the future can accomplish
a shifting 10 the sea-leveI plan.
In their report, the engineers say they
have given special consideration TO the
foundations or the Gatuu dam and the
feasibility OF constructing and main
tanning thereon q safe dam for retain
ing water at So feet above sea level.
Their verdict Is an unqualified and uu-
dam is feasible.
Meets Approval Of All.
THE type or dam u0u under con
strucU0n is one which meets with our
unanimous approval say tine engineers
ia their report. Ii Is declared the dam
as PROPOSED not only viii be sufficient
Iy stable. but goes far beyond the limits
or what would be regarded az safe iH
any less important structure
The engineers hold that the Gatuu
dam can safely be reduced ln height
by 20 feet. This would make the
height 1I5 feet. or so feet above the
normal level Of the water against the
dam.
Not the least striking feature of the
report Of the engineers is that they pre-
dict che completion of the canal bg
