Plans faF Raising the Maine

Washington, July 26-John F O'Rourke, a prominent engineer, who has accomplished some interesting en gineering feats has laid before Acting Secretary of War Oliver, plans for the raising of the Maine. The plans are based on a system of pneumatic caisons. No divers are used and the pontoon system is completely put aside The method to be used Is to swing the Maine in the cradle of pow erful cables and lift her completely cut of the water where a complete m spection of her hull will be possible.
 While the ship is suspended above the water, O'Rourke declares she can be repaired as easily as if in a dry dock. After being launched from the cable cradle she can leave Havana Earbor under her own steam.
 This is said to be the first plan pro- posed that would present the ship to the naval board in precisely the same condition as wien she was sunk on the night Of February 15, 1898.
 ORourke expressed an opinion the job could be done in three months.

Dent Dc Foolish
An Arizona contemporary in the
Project Engineer.

An Arizona contemporary in the spirit of defiance says:
 The people of Arizona will
 write and adopt a constitution to
 their own liking and congress can
 do what 1t deems best. This con-
 stitution is to govern the people
 of Arizona and not congress and
 we will do our duty as we see it,
 and let congress take the respon-
 sibility."
 Now, do not let us be foolish about this thing, and we have faith enough in the citizenship of the territory to believe that nothing foolish will be done at the constitutional convention. though, doubtless, it will Le attempt ed
 It is true that ou reconstruction will be for us and not directly for congress | but then, congress has the concludir g and deciding word in any controversy that may arise between us and con gress as to what kind of a constitution we shall have. The suggestion to let congress take the responsibility of turning down any constitution we may send for it's approval is hardly neces- sary Congress stands ready to tafe that responsibility. It's readiness in that respect is fully apparent by tl.t- statehood bill.
 From the beginning Wa have heard great deal of this d 9fiant talk.
 Much of it is bluff but some of tt is genuine, though it is not eXpr2ssiyo of any considerable part of the sentj- mont of tho territory-of either t;e- pubhcans or Democrats.
 There are reasons, though not a great many of them in ratio to all t. voters of the territory, who wou I like to have a constitution which con gross and the president would not ar- prove. They would like .o have a con GtitutiOn which the voters Of the terri tory would reuse b ratify They would welcome any sort of intervcn.

tion that would prevent statehood.
 There are people in Arizona whu have never wanted statehood. There are others, who for one reason oF another, do not want statehood now.
 No man who is honestly for stata- hood is going to risk hopeless qtar- rel with congress and the president over the question of the constitution.
 Every such man, whether CT noJ he likes the constitution which tue convention may adopt, will be willing to trust to the future for such a r3n- stitution as may meet his views, for he understands that unless congress approves the constitution there will be no constitution for q period so in- definite that the end of it cannot be guessed at.-Arizona Republican.

Are Federal Officers Eligible?

The Phoenix Republican has the fol- lowing regarding the selection of fed eral judges as delegates to the cOnsti- tutional convention:
 "Another matter which is exciting some interest is the eligibility of per sons now holding office for seats in the convention. Some time ago District Attorney Ballard gave out an opinion, which he admitted was hastily formed, that officers were not eligible, but a search of the statutes and of the or ganic act fails to disclose a prOE EibltIon except in the case of persons holding commissions from the United States government. Such officers, with the exception of poStpasters, are not ell@i- ble to seats in legislature, and some believe that that disqualification would ltend to c constitutional convention.

Oil Expert Pleased With the

J. C. Afford. an oil expert from Ba- kerfeld, after two days spent in exam ination of supposed oil lands near Yuma, has expressed himself as being very favorably impressed; in fact, he said is was about the most promising unexplored oil field he had ever exam ined and that oil would surely be de- veloped here.

DAM
 IN NO DANGER

The persistence of the Imperi- al valley press in publishing ridiculous stories to the effect that Laguna dam was in danger from the action of the river in having a slightly increased ve- locity owing to it's change of course below the international boundary line, has called forth a letter from Francis l.. SelleW, project engineer, who complete ly refutes the intimation of dan ger. He writes as follows to J. J. Waddell, at Mankuto, Minn., under date Of July |:
 Dear Sir: The situation as at present outlined by the best in- formation 1 can determine is that the Colorado river has left its original course short distance south of the international boun dary and is flowing toward the west and southwest through what Is known as Bee river, thence into Volcano Lake, and then through the Hardy into the Gulf of California. Along the line of this new course the slope of the country is greater than 1t was along the original stream. Consequently there is an in- creased velocity which is result ing in some retrOgreSSiOn Of levels; that is, a tendency to lower the bed of the stream; and this tendency is working toward the international boundary, but at what rate we do not know as vet. From the best information at hand, the total retrogression that could be effected by the cut back is from 15 to 20 feet. This would have 10 influence whatever on Laguna dam except to lower the water below the toe, and this amount of lowering we could readily defend against.
 There Is no cause for any alarm whatever, and the commu- nifty that is threatened is the Imperial valley in Southern Cal ifornia, from which the dispatch referred to emanated.
 If even a small portion of the retrogression should reach the Imperial heading - enough to lower the surface of the river five or six feet-it would be i'm practical for the lmperia canal to divert any water whatever unless there Was extensive dredging and some jetty work immediately below the intake. The dredging alone would pro- vide for only lowering of the river surface about five feet. Anything beyond that would have to be provided for by the construction of a temporary jettv which would hold up the plane of the river during low water and be washed out turing q flood.
 1 hope l have made plain to you the fact that the government works in this vicinity are in no way threatened by the present situation in the lower Colorado.
 Very respectfully,
 FRANCIS l.. SELLEW,
 Project Engineer.
