Good News for the Parker Country.

A bill of immense importance to Arizona was introduced in the senate on Tuesday of this week by Senator Warren of Wyoming It provides for the opening of the vast valley of the Colorado. in the vicinity of Parker, to settlement; and it authorizes the rec lamation and irrigation of the valley by private capital.
 The bill is general in its terms, so as to apply to all projects which the secretary of the interior may not find available for present handling by the reclamation service, but it is intended to apply specifically to the valley of the Colorado, and the bill was intro- duced at the instance of California and eastern capitalists who stand ready to proceed with the work. As our readers are well aware, there is an abundance of water in the Colo rado, and the construction of a di version dam above Parker would fur nish water for the irrigation of sev- eral hundred thousand acres, part Of which is on an Indian reservation. The land is withdrawn from entry at present, because the reclamation serv- ice contemplates taking up the project at some time in the future But Di- rector Newell is authority for the statement that it probably will be ten years before the government win have the funds with which to begin another large project.
 The Warren bill meets the situation at Parker by providing that the sec retary of the interior, if he finds that the reclamation service for any req son is not in a position to carry out any project it has planned, may con- tract by such general rule as he may adopt:
 With any persons, corporations, associations, or irrigation districts. or any state or territory, to construct the necessary waterworks for the ir- rigation of all or any part of such lands, provided. however. that an al- | lotment of five acres of the irrigable ! land shall first be made to each of the Indians belonging upon such res l ervations, and further that the party | or parties undertaking such enterprise |

TO HELP HINDU FARMERS.

American Presbyterians are taking steps to teach low caste people of northern India how to till their land and get better crops from it. Arthur F.. Slater. a practical man, goes at once to Allahabad to open in connec- tion with q college already existing there an agricultural department that may do for the farmers of northern In dia the same that the railroads and government are doing for farmers in America.

shall be required to furnish water rights at the same rate or price for
 which water is furnished to the con- sumers to the said Indians for the
 irrigation of said allotted lands"
 A Washington dispatch to the Los Angeles Times concerning the bill states that:
 Tt is further provided that the re- mainder of the irrigable lands in such reservations shall be opened to entry and settlement in tracts not exceed ing 1G0 acres, under the provision of the land laws of the Carey act and state or territorial regulations, the settlers to pay the same amounts per acre as are required by the land laws of the Carey act, such amounts to be placed to the credit of the Indians t0 pay for water rights.
 Section of the bill grants to the persons or corporations proposing the construction for the irrigation works authority to locate and construct dams, ditches or other diversion works upon. in, and from the Colorado river, and the government expressly valves
 dliN anu dll ODJtCllOllS lO lllc lOCdllOll and construction of such dams and waterworks on account of the navi- gability of said river or otherwise
 Tt is stipulated further that the projectors of such works shall have the right to acquire any lands, rights of way. or rights of property adjacent to the Colorado river from private parties or the state, by purchase, con- demnation or other judicial process "
 Very possibly the bill has been in troduced too late in this session to pass before adjournment. But it is a measure to which there should be no objection, and it's passage at the short session of next winter, at the latest, ought to be a certainty. It is a bill which should be strongly sup ported from Arizona.
 The capitalists mentioned claim to be iready to expend $4,OO0,OOO to S5,OOO, 900 on the project; but should their expectations fail, there can be no doubt that other capital would readily be found for the scheme. as it is one of the most attractive for safe in vestment in the whole country. The reclamation of the Parker valley would add largely to the population of Ari- Zona, it would create millions of dol lars in taxable wealth, and would make a large city of Parker-all of which would be tributary to the fu- ture great city of Phoenix.
 There is absolutely no reason why this needed development of our great but dormant wealth should await the passage of the long years which must precede the ability of the reclamation service to begin work on the project Under all ordinary conditions. The is strongly in favor of leaving to the reclamation service the reclamation of our arid lands-be- cause this policy works to the advan- tage of the irrigator; privately con- structed irrigation works, with their permanent interest charges, are more of a burden to the land owner But in all cases where a long time must intervene before the government can do the work, private capital should be encouraged to go ahead

A circular in opposition to the sewer bonds has been put forth. It was to be expected that the sewer company would do what it could to defeat the bonds.

LACE HEADPIECE A NOVELTY
Becoming Innovation That Bids Fair
to Retain Popularity for Some
Time.

One of the features for the hats for
formal wear is the round piece of lace
that is attached to the inside OF
large shape just as a bandeau is used.
1t falls in soft folds over the hair and
looks quite like the lacy edge of-save
the mark!-a breakfast cap. But you
have no idea Of the becomingness of
this innovation. Pretty features ap-
pear more lovely under the softening
halo of tulle or lace. and other faces
are vastly improved by the medium be-
tween them and the felt or satin crown
of a large hat.
Black, white or metallic lace is used
for this frill that is arousing comment.
Tiny rosebuds of narrow ribbon or
small silk flowers are worked into the
lace, lessening the contrast and harmo-
nizing with the plumes or lace trim
ming ON the outside of the chapeau.
The ruftie is about two inches wide. 1t
is attached before the lining is adjust
ed. although few milliners have ar
ranged for a change of lace by series
of loops and buttons.
How did this originate? Why, prob
ably from the fancy turban headdress
of lace trimmed with flowers that
Parisiennes wore in the summer in
evenings. At all events. sustained by
the knowledge that hat with this in
ner frill was awarded first prize at the
great exhibition Of chapeaux, 1t comes
as something new and bids fair to be
adopted.
