Crymes. The negroes always seemed
to like Wallace better than Tom
The defense then tried to show that
two wads from shotgun shells were
found in the barn and that they were

found in the Benson house But Mr..
Crymes disclaimed all knowledge OF
this.

Wallace permission to go hunting ON
the day he was killed, but when ques-

When asked about Bensons coming
to the meat market at Mobile and
Pine streets, Tom said:
HE came in, laid down his gun and
tied his dog. / told him several times
to build fire, but he did not do so.
He was very nervous all the time.
When received fathers message that
Wallace was dead, told Henry, but
he said nothing to me, though he re-
'peated what had said to Fred Owens
a negro with him, and then said some
thing to Owens which I could not
hear"
On cross-examination, Tom said that
the Saturday before Wallace was
killed, Benson had told Wallace in his
presence that If he didn't let his dog
alone, there would be trouble

would kill any man who came fooling

RECLAMATION
IN AUSTRALIA
New South Wales Engineer
a Phoenix Visitor
STUDENT OF IRRIGATION
His Government Is En-
gagged in a Work That Is
Almost a Duplicate of the
Salt River Project of Ari-
IONA.

Engineer w. ID. Donkin of the de-
partment of public works of the gov
eminent of New South Wales. arrived
here last Tuesday and since then has
devoted himself to a study of the dis
tributing system of the Salt river
reclamation project Wednesday he
was given general tour of the VAL
lev as the guest of Engineer Howard
Reed, and tomorrow the two gentle
men will go to Roosevelt to see the
big dam the fame of which reaches
round the world.
New South Wales in the rapid de-
velopment OF recent years. has come
to a realization of the development
possibilities of its semi-arid region.
now given over largely to sheep graz
ing and has taken vigorous hold of
the reclamation idea through irriga
ton and water storage, its operations
being through the department of pub
lie works. 1t now has under way
what is known as the Northern Muir
run Bridge project, an undertaking
that in it's features is more nearly
like the Salt River project, than any
other II involves a storage dam 225
feet high to impound three quarters
of a million acre feet Of water. at
Barren Jack on the Murrun Bridge
river. The relative size of these res
ervoirs can be understood when it is
recalled that the Roosevelt reservoir
has a capacity OF about a million and
a quarter acre feet
The similarity of the two enter
prises does not stop with the reser-
voir. The Australian project contem-
plates the releasing of stored water
into the channel when needed just

as il is done here, and il runs down
the river TO a diversion dam quite
similar to the Granite Reef structure.
except that water is turned 10 the
land on only one side of the stream.
But under the Australian project the
distance between the storage dam and
the diversion dam is approximately
200 miles. or four times as far under
the Salt River project.
The climate of the country is quite
similar to that of this region, except
that it is less arid. the annual rainfall
being about fifteen inches, nearly
twice as much as in this valley.
There is therefore more natural veg
citation. making ii a fine grazing
country. Some crops. particularly
certain kinds of wheat can be and are
raised successfully without irrigation.
but it is believed that with irriga-
ton better and more productive crops
can be raised Mr.. Donkin says the
temperature Of that section runs from
"a in the winter season 10 lis in the
summer season. being just a few de-
grees cooler than here. He believes
that with irrigation the lands under
the Murrun Bridge project can be
made to produce almost everything
that is raised here, with the possible
exception of citrus fruits. So far
wheat is about the only crop grown
extensively. and the country is but
sparsely settled.
Asked concerning the amount of
land sought to be reclaimed Mr.. DON
kin said that is not yet determined,
and can be only by experimenting
after the water is made available. as
irrigation i'm that loca;:ty Is still a
theory and not a practice. But there
is available at least a million acres
and the plan of the government is to
reclaim as much of it as the water
supply will warrant. 1t is diverted
to but one side of the river, only be
cause there is more land on that side
than the water supply is adequate
for. though there is equally as good
land on the other side of the river.
The land is now mostly in large
holdings from a thousand to a hun
dred thousand acres.
This is Mr.. DOnkin's first trip to
America and he has been here about
two months. He has visited num-
Der of reclamation projects in Canada.
Washington, Oregon and California,
and will go from here to Denver.
though he will probably not visit the
northern projects. He may go to New
York and will surely go to Panama
before his return. the visit to the lat
ter place being to satisfy his curl
osity as an engineer, and not to
study irrigation.
Asked concerning his impression of
America he said that he had found a
more advanced stage Of civilization in
the western part of this country than
he had expected. He has not seen
the east yet but had imagined that
Arizona at least, was still a wild
and woody" frontier region Speaking
Of American institutions he said he
believed the Australian idea of the
government ownership Of railroads.
telephones and other public service
utilities was preferable to the Amer
lean idea Of private ownership. He
said he did not mean that the SER
vice was any better but he believed
there was less graft in the Australian
methods. or at least a great deal less

HEARD IN THE L0bBIES

There are things in the world that
might be said to be more interesting
than the conversation of Mr.. j. w.
Ivers OF Chicago. who stopped at the
Ford hotel yesterday. This might be
considered an extreme statement by
some, but il would not be so con-
sidered by Mr.. Ivers himself, who
thinks-but there is no necessary of
telling what he thinks. Ivers has a
fancy that merely because he is the
best looking man in ten states. a first
rate salesman. and an all round man
of the world, he is fascinating. at
tractive and utterly irresistible. The
only insufferable thing about il is
that Ivers himself entertains this con-
viction 1t is entertained by the rest
of the world as well. but ii would be
n fine thing if Ivers had not found il
out Speaking on this subject, he
said yesterday. when asked TO give a
reason for this prodigious complac-
ency: Il believe in understanding all

Georgia Considerable deteriora-

but cotton is over ten points better

too much rain, others not enough.
Generally, hot weather has caused

ties, but it will be September 1 be-
fore it becomes general. Many cor
respondents look for an average and
even a larger crop. and report the
deterioration as only normal for
August.
Alabama-A very material decline
in condition has been caused by
shedding, eaterpillars and rust. Hot,
dry weather, followed by too much
rain, has been the principal cause.
Compared with the unusually high
condition of GA last month, the de-
terioration may be considered Sc
we're, but cotton is better than a year
ago, when it was 72.2. The plant is
generally large, but disappointing in
its fruitage. Cultivation, however, is
good, and scarcity of labor is but
little complained of. Picking has be-
gun in a few localities, but will not
be general until September 1 to 10.
