100 feet. Under the rules of
construction the water is not To-
be allowed within 25 feet Of the
lowest point on the dam, except
in an emergency that cannot be
avoided. In other words, that

New Railroads for Phoenix

covered this morning in our local
columns, to the effect that a
board Of government engineers
has reported adversely upon the
the San Carlos reservoir site,
will greatly interest the people
of Phoenix and the Salt River
valley. 1t means that the secre-
tary of the interior, if he follows
the findings of the engineers,
will approve the application of
the Arizona Eastern railway for
a right of way through the ella
canyon.
What it will mean to this COM
munity to haze the construction
of the Arizona Eastern assured
is pretty generally appreciated.
If the railway is enabled to build
through this canyon, Phoenix,
Tempe and Mesa will shortly be
on Southern Pacific trahscon
tinental line. From Yuma to
Lordsburg there will be a new
and level line-on that from
Deming, beyond Lordsburg, to
Yuma, there will be a railroad
having no gradient greater than
one half of one per cent, as
against many two per cent grades
on the present line of the South
ern Pacific. In the railway wosld
if not among people generally,
the Gila canyon route is now
conceded to be the most attract,
i've for transcontinental traffic IN
all North America. This canyon
offers the best pass through the
Rocky Mountain range that ex
lists anywhere between British
Columbia and Central America,
1t is really ineZplicable that rail
way builders were so slow to
grasp the Importance of this
pass.
To be sure, Mr.. Murphy many
years ago recognized it as of
supreme value for transconti-
mental traffic; and 50 did Col
Randolph. And after Col. Ran
dolph-as was his duty to his
chief-had pointed out to Mr..
Hartman the incompatible value
Of the Gila canyon pass for trans
continental business as we'll as
for strategic purposes in pro
tecting Southern Pacific terrific
ry, Mr.. Hartman did not stop
until he had wrested from the
Santa Fe interests the PifoeniS
& Eastern, which Mr.. Murphy
was building toward the canyon,
In order to get into a position to
carry out this coup, Mr. Harri
man had invested so many mill-
ions in Santa Fe shares that he
was able TO force the Santa Fe
directors to relln9uish the
Phoenix & Eastern to him. And
now that the Southern Pacific
influence has been eliminated
from the Santa Fe directorate,
it is no secret that the Santa F'e
people deeply regret that they
lost the Phoenix & Eastern, and
with it the best of all transcon-
tinental routes.
Not only will we gain a trans
continental line by the construc-
tion of the Arizona Eastern
through the Gila canyon, but a
line from the Salt River valley
to Denver, under Southern
Pacific Union Pacific control, for
as soon as this right of way
controversy is settled in favor
of the railway company, the
construction Of the proposed line
from Globe to Pennington and
Durango Will begin. Incident
ally, this line will bring central
Arizona into direct communica-
ton with the greatest and hest
coal fields in all the weSt-thus
assuring cheap fuel for the
peopleof the territory.-Phoenix
