 There was an investigation of charges made against Len Scott and Alberto Mungia, deputy shcriffs, but the grand jury did not find cause for action. Sheriff E. E.

'GOV. SLOAN'S
 GREAT WORK But For Him Statehood Would Have Failed SAYS DR. [. W. VICKERS On Arrival of the Governor
 Hope of Its Passage Had
 Been Abandoned - Re
 turn of the Doctor From 
 European Trip.
SAYS DR. (. W. V|CKERS

'The people of Arizona cannot
 realize without a full understanding of the situation at Washington week before last how much they owe to Gov ernOr Sloan. l am positive that but for his efforts the statehood bill would not have become a law. When he ar rived in Washington the bill was against a stone wall. It had many earnest friends, but they had pushed it to the extent of their capabilities. It was the intention of the leaders to let it die and it would have died but for the address and energy of Governor Sloan"
 This is the language of pr. George w. Vickers. former owner of The Re- publican, who returned last night from a visit to England, but who was at Washington throughout the critical period of the statehood fight. pr. Vickers said that he reached Washington on Monday and began in quiring into the status of the statehood bill. He found that everything had been brought to a standstill and that | the press correspondents were agreed that it could not pass at this session. that it was determined that it should
 not pass.
 pr. Vickers enlisted the interest of some of the correspondents and espe- cially that Of Charles c. Randolph, 1 who had preceded him in the owner ship of this paper and who since his ] residence in Washington has been a warm and consistent friend of the ter ritory. The services also of the Wash ington Post, always friendly to Ari- zona, were secured and the Post print ! ed Tn interview with the doctor which was telegraphed to The Republican l that night In that interview the con- fidence of the people in the good will of President Taft and the pledge of ! the republican party was expressed. Practically all the newspapers were ] now on the side of immediate state | hood.
 But the bill was not moving. No one I knew precisely why, but on the ap- ] pearance of Governor Sloan he quickly | fathomed the situation and in a short | time he had a clearer view of it than anybody outside the leadership in the | two houses. He reawakened the inter est of all the friends of the bill and | brought every influence to bear upon wavering or unfriendly senator's The governor was soon in a position | to assure his friends tha: the bill would pass and it will be recalled that ! he told The Republicans correspond
 ent so telling him at the same time l that it would be preceded in the senate | by the widrawal bill. No press | cOrreSnOndent was 9t that time ava re
 of that purpose.
 ! Then came the passage of the bill which two days before had been as-
 sured. The work of the governor was | not yet complete. for there was the | danger of deadlock between the houses. The danger was removed by | the activities of the governor. and he
 was prepared to say that the house
 would concur in the senate amend ment.
 Speaking of the work of Delegate l Cameron, pr. VickerS said that he was
Arizona republican., 1910-06-25

one of the most efficient representa- = tives the territory has ever had. He has accomplished more for the terri tory and it's people than any other delegate. He has had, of course, ex- ceptional opportunities, and he has made the most of them. There are comparatively few members of con gress who are so influential as MT Cameron though only a delegate. His energy is tireless and his acquaintance as wide as Washington. To know Ralph Cameron is to enlist respectful attention even from the janitors of the office building; they all know him and like him.
 When Dr. Vickers was absolutely certain that the house would concur in the senate amendments to the state hood bill he left Washington for his home. intending to make d short stay at Greenville, ohio, whence he arrived yesterday afternoon.
 The doctor left Phoenix late in April to attend the meeting of the Imperial Council of the Shrine at New Orleans. From New Orleans he went to to New York, whence he sailed on the Majestic in the closing days of April for Eng land, landing at Southampton on May 3. The voyage. he said, was the most restful he had ever enjoyed.
 There was not that liveliness in England usual at that time of the year, which is the height of the season. The king was dead and the nation was in mourning; entertainments were in terrupted. The greater part of the time Dr. Vickers for the ensuing three weeks was spent in automobling about the country, visiting points Of historic interest, Wentworth castle, Warwick castle, Stratford- on Avon and the more interesting points of Buckinghamshire. As a native of Eng land after a long absence the visit was more enjoyable to the doctor than it would have been to the average travel CT. The country was at it's best and greenest, a garden spot of the world
 But with all its beauty, Arizona aft CT his brief absence from it called more loudly to him than ever and it was with pleasure that he reached the end of his stay and turned westward The doctor returned on the Campania Among his fellow passengers was Seth Bullock, the famous United States marshal of South Dakota.
 He mentioned that it was about May 16 that he visited Kenilworth castle, made famous by Sir Walter Scott; it was at the same time that the Hotel Adams in Phoenix was burning up. The doctor said that when he came up Center street yesterday and saw the fragments of the lofty walls of the hotel he was struck by the remarkable resemblance to the ruins of Kenil- worth Castle. But the resemblance is observed only at a distance. On closer approach the ruins of the Hotel Ad- ans are too new. Those of Wentworth were old in Sir Walters time.

Plan Protection of the
Western Slope WI


To protect the irrigated lands of
the Western Slope from the intend
ed robbery of its water by the en-
vious capitalists and promoters OF
the Eastern Slope, who are now
seeking to divert the water of the
Grand river and other streams on
this side of the range by tunnels
to the arid acres in the eastern part
of the state. an association compos-
ed of the representatives of all the
irrigation companies and water
users associations on the Western
Slope is to be formed Saturday in
the rooms of the Grand Junction
Chamber of Commerce.
For some time there has been
rumors of the organization of COM
panies for the purpose of diverting
the waters of the Grand and other
rivers, but until lately, these reports
took no tangible aspect. Recently,
however, new agitation has been
made in the old lines, and to meet
this danger with cooked rifles this
meeting has been called.
There are probably about two
dozen irrigation projects on the
Western Slope which will band to-
gethsr to make this organization
a strong one. Nothing definite can
be stated at this time about the
work on the new association. but 1t
is known that they will secure the
| best legal talent in the country and
will fight to the last ditch If any at
tempt is made to take the water
which is needed on the Western
| Slope.-Grand Junction News.
