They also set a force on top OF
a mountain some distance up Salt
/ river which they expected TO push
over a cliff 1000 feet high, down 20
| the bed OF Salt river and then raft
them down to the dam site. They
cut the timber before they attempted
10 pass the logs over the bluff The
first logs they passed over the bluff
reached the river bed in spiinters
and they had TO abandon their timber
already cut on the mountain top and
find their timber at another place.
when the dam was built the en-
gineeTs conceived the idea Of taking
over for the government the irrigar
,jOn canals Of the Salt river valley.
These were owned by a canal COM
pany. The government bought these
canals but did not take over at the
same time the power rights on the
canals, which were owned by another
company, composed In part by the
same men who formed the company
owning the canals. They paid the
canal company what IL would have
cost the government 90 build the can
als; then they contracted for the pow
or rights with the Ompany retaining
the power rights on the cana's, grant
ing this company an exclusive right
to dispense electricity generated by
| the power at the Roosevelt dam in
the city OF Phoenix, which this poEer
company Immediately capitalized for
more money than the canals were
wortn. ,, hese canals 'Ge built on
bonds issued by the company greatl'
in excess of the value of the canals
in the first instance. after which the
canal company sold 90 the land own
erS and water users OF the valley by
deeds or record transfer what theI
termed an indefeasible right TO thu
Z Use OF wafer luIOu5H tut thiatS o.
Sl2.so per acre. Taking all the waite
rights sold by the canal company
they amounted to 1921 900 This en-
titled the water users to hereafe
have water through these canals a
about $1.50 per acre per year. Th'
government in the purchase OF th'
canals ignored these water rights anC
paid the canal company full value tol
the canals and charged this up as {
part OF the reclamation project 10 th'
land owners in the valley,
"On the other side OF the river
from Phoenix a party by the name o
Chandler, way back in the nineties
obtained control OF $1,000 acres OF
land. He caused to be dug a cana
that would irrigate this land, which
cost, as he claimed. 81 per acre for
the $4,000 acres: the entrymen whc
had seured their patents made con
veyance OF their land to Mr.. Chandler
on his digging the canal. The govern
ment took this canal over az slsI,

a SOUTHERN DEMOCRAT
Nav Be Chosen for a Running Mate
for Colonel Roosevelt.

oyster Bay, July 3l.--A movement IS
on foot within the National Progressive
party to name a Democrat from the
South as Col. Roosevet's running mate
Col. Roosevelt said. today, If an avail
able man can be agreed upon. The col
onel said that number of leaders OF
the new party had made the suggestion
to him and that he favored the plan.
He added that such a selection would
emphasize the non-sectional character Oh
the movement
Colonel Roosevelt made another at
tack, today, upon the Republican party
He based it upon the appeal to the Unit
ed States supreme court from the ruiihs
of the Kansas supreme court, which pre-
vented the Taft leaders of Kansas from
keeping Roosevelt candidates for Presi-
Dental electors off the Republican bal
lot in the primaries.
This is an effort by Mr. Tafts man
ayers in Kansas. said the colonel, to
use the supreme court in. order to- deny
TO the people Of Kansas the right to a
referendum under the Kansas law. Ran
sas is the only State in the Union where
such a referendum may be had at ie-
gally conducted primary.

Twenty Are Wounded in
London Dock Riots.
One Dies from Wound 1000
LabOTeTS Return to Work.
Find Their Places Held by Nom
Unionists.-hot Fight Ensues.

London, July 3f.-Seven strikers
were shot. one of them dying later.
and 20 other men were seriously
wounded by sticks and stones as the
result of rioting at the Victoria docks
in London, today.
The chief disturbance occurred at
the Victoria docks. where 1000 of the
laborers, who had been on strike for
over 10 weeks. appeared at the docks
in compliance with the manifesto OF
the Dock Workers Federation order
ing them to resume work. They found,
however. that their places were occu-
pied by nom unionist or free labor
ers, who had been taken ON during
the strike. and who were determined
to continue at work. They defied the
men belonging to the union to remove
them and a fight ensued.
The police. of whom about dozen
were present, were taken by surprise
and were powerIess. to suppress the
disturbance.
Another hot fight conferred around
the steamer City of Columbia, which
was being loaded at one of thu
wharves. Unionist workmen tried 10
board her, but were repealed by the
nom unionists with revolvers. bottles
and Delaying stones.
Large reserves of police were called
up and finally succeeded in quelling
the trouble. Bot hthe unionists and
nom unionists accuse each other of
starting the trouble.
