SUIT INSTITUTED IN
 GLOBE

GLOBE, Ariz., July IA suit that is attracting much attention in Globe is that of Cotey ct al., against the shannon Arizona railroad company.
 The case is unusual because of the amount of money involved-$175,OOO. The plaintiffs have already been paid $325,OOO by the defendant com pany. The difference between their claim and the amount the railroad thinks sufficient is the basis of the suit and will hinge probably upon the courts opinion of the impartiality and knowledge of the eOmpany's en- gineer-who was appointed arbiter by the contendants in the suit. He has given his opinion to the effect that the amount already paid is sufficient compensation for the work accomplish ed.
 C. J. Cotty, Wagstaff, Elliott and Cortiana are the complainants, and the shannon and Arizona railroad is the defendant.
 The railroad has already given a mortgage to the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust company for $600,000. Judge Armstrong of Phoenix is in Globe to represent the Boston com pany. The mortgage antedates the lien filed on the property by the contractors.
 Yesterday was occupied wholly with routine matters pertaining to the case, such as motions to strike out certain allegations of the complaint and consideration of special demur- CTS. Some of the latter were sus- tained-several were overruled.
 Alderman and Elliott and Judge Nave are representing the plaintiffs. Rawlins and Little are retained by the defendants.

DECLARES BIG DAM

passed into secondary consideration. We have the men with the money. In fact, since the project has reached public channels, we are deluged with applications from investors and our offices at Indianapolis will substan- tiate the deep interest prevailing to secure interests. Three ex-judges of the supreme court of Indiana are stockholders. while in commercial and financial circles, we also have many of the leading men of both interests. v
 Col. Thayer also stated that deep interest is prevailing in the eastern states over the possibilities of this project. The fact of the immense acreage possessing the splendid quail ficatiOns of producing anything that can be grown indigenous to this ele- vation, with the additional fact that not a foot of the land is to be clear ed before cultivation begins, is a revelation to those who desire to be- come interested.
 Col. Thayer also said that W. W. Elliott is making tests of formations ;n the immediate vicinity with the object of manufacturing cement to be used in the construction of the dam, and it is but reasonable to be- lieve this commodity can be provided on the ground, and which was de- mOnstrated in the building of the Roosevelt dam. With this determina- tion a new industry may be estab- lished in this community. Another very important feature that will be taken up by the company will be the prominent relation given to Pres cOtt. in conjunction with the under taking, Col. Thayer stating that his company was appreciative of its splen- did climate and the possibilities of that fact known in literature to be circulated. Being so near the pro ject, its location ideal, he sin cerely believes the future of the little city will be erystallized into a community of great importance when the dam is built and the land is under cultivation.
 He will remain for a few weeks, and is daily engaged in visiting the cOmpany's large holdings, forming a deeper regard as he eomprehends the magnitude of the proposition, which from its inception has occasioned more favorable comment than has ever been associated with any industrial move ment in northern Arizona.

Col. E. P. Thayer, general manager of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company, who arrived from the east early in the week, was interviewed yesterday by a representative of the Journal Miner, and imparted the in- formation that there was no question whatever but what the great water storage and land reclamation project would be carried out as formulated, and that had not unforeseen condi- tions arisen, construction would have been under way this month. Col. Thayer was more enthusiastic than ever over the water storage plans of this company, and stated that he would remain for several days to study climatic conditions and to familiarize himself with the work to be prosecuted. He said:
 ''We have been ready for some time to begin construction on the dam to be located on Willow creek, but delay has taken place over se- curing title to certain. Lonesome val ley scrip lands, embracing approxi- mately 15,OOO acres, against which a protest has been filed at Washing ton. However, we believe there will be an adjustment of this question from official sources in a short time,

Walker, of Chicago, spent several days in looking the situation over, and was emphatic in stating that the project was unquestionably one of the most meritorious that he had ever ex- smined. while the site for the build ing of the water storage dam, wOs practicable and one of the best To- cations in this section. Mr. Walker devoted considerable time in his Ob- servations along Willon creek, and in his exhaustive examination of the 32,000 acres to be brought under a high state of cultivation, expressed surprise over the feasibility of the undertaking. Every little detail has been passed upon in this movement, even to the running of surveys from the beginning of our interests at Fort Whipple to the terminal point at Del Rio, covering a distance of twenty five miles in an air line. I sincerely hope the proposition VII assume defin- ite official consideration soon, so that we can go ahead at the earliest pos sible date. So far as finances are to be considered, that matter has

From the top of the Mogollon mountains beyond Cedar creek, to the east, every inch of ground that is open has been located to the Pfau mines on the west, GOV ering a distance of over twenty miles. Several California oil operators are now in the country, which has had the effect of intensifying the sit uatiOn. Prospective oil kings are many, in consequence of the good surface indications. MT.

 Two carloads of lumber have been purchased from the Helvetia Copper company, and two more carloads are on the way here with a carload of cement.
 The capacity of the shelter in the beginning will be 1j0 tons, but it can be increased later by the install latiOn of additional units. The smelt- CT will be operated by the company in conjunction with the Plumed Knight and Gould properties which the company has purchased. The well on the shelter site has been sunk to a depth of 13O feet, and now has 50 feet of water in it. A pump will be installed to bring the water to the surface.

while we are unable to make any gain.
 Alfalfa that has been aeclimatized, and that has been found by expert ments to be as good as any fatten- ing food for cattle, heep or hogs, is responsible for most of the rapid growth.
 The alfalfa which has been found to be the best producer for this part of the country was imported from Germany by a settler in Northern Minnesota nearly sixty years ago. His name was Wendelin Grimm, and the alfalfa has been given his name The plant has become thoroughly Americanized and series of ex, haustive tests both n Canada and the United States have proved it able to take care of itself and furnish bumper crops under even adverse con- ditiOns. Experiments conducted be tween 1909 and 1909 at the Indian Head experiment station in Saskatche. wan proved Grimm capable of aver. aging three and a half tons of hay to the acre, withstanding a temper ature of more than forty degrees below zero; and with only nineteen inches of rainfall during the growing season.
 MT. Angus Mackay, superintendent in charge of the experiments, re- ported:
 "From the first the Grimm alfalfa has never been winter or spring killed in the least and on this ac- count I consider it the most valuable strain for this eOuntry.'
 There are millions of acres of land in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al berta which can be converted into alfalfa fattening fields for cattle, sheep and hogs. Mir. Fairbain saw the possibilities in these acres and instead of buying a small cattle ranch as he originally intended be- fore arriving in Calgary, he decided to purchase the 1000 acres for sheep.
 "The western Canadian provinces, he said, twill supply the world with wheat and meat in time to come. make this statement from the stand point of one who is in a position to know what the future has in store for this country. Now that it is being rendered accessible to the mar kets of the world through the con structiOn of the two new transeOn- tinental railroads, the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pa cific, and the further extension of the Canadian Pacific, this country will be developed beyond the expeeta- tiOns of the meat optimistic.

CHICAGO, Ills, July 13.- Hope for cheaper meats in the United States is held out by the rapid growth of the alfalfa-fed beef cattle and sheep industry in the western provinces of Canada, attention to which has just been called by the arrival in that section of the advance guard of an invading army of Aus tralian sheep growers. F. W. Fair bain, an Australian wool king with headouarters in London. recently pur- chased 4,OOO acres in Alberta for sheep raising purposes. MT. Fair bain is the largest grower of wool in the world and his determination to have his son engage in the sheep industry in western Canada is taken as an indication that the future op- erat;ons on large scale will be on this continent.
 4 study of the business at the Chicago stockyards and at the other packing centers in this country and the reports of the federal govern ment indicates that unless the live stock of this country is largely in- creased. or there is some relief from our neighbors, the prices of meats will continue to remain high and may go higher.
 There are four million fewer cat tie in the United States than there were four years ago, while there are approximately seven million more peo- pie to feed. The cattle number 47,- 279,OOO according to the government figures. In 1907 the number was 5l. .565, ,O00. The number of cattle de- creased in the United States in the last year by A. per cent. There was a slight increase in the number of sheep, although there are 6,750,000 fewer than there were in 1903. The following table of percentage increase in the last year in the United States and the provinces of Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta show how western Canada is rapidly preparing to meet the meat deficit in the United States.
