.B|C IRRIGATION
 . PROJECT STARTS
100000 Acres of Fertile Soil Will Be Brought Under Water by
 Completion
IN LONESOME VALLEY

PRESCOTT. April l:-That they have a dam and reservoir project cap able of furnishing the irrigation needs for over 2O0.OOO acres of fertile soil in the Big Chino and Lonesome val. ! leys. is the confident opinion of the Hesandfosait Dam and Reservoir com . any. comosed Of O. A. Hesla. LeRoy Anderson, F. W. Foster and II. D. Ait. ken.
 The well known citizens compos- ing this company have had the possi. Utilities of this damsite under con. sideration ever since a hunting trip through the Big Chino valley. made four years ago. The damsite is To- cated at a point known as Eagles Nest, a natural gorge on Walnut creek, at a point about eight miles west of the headquarters ranch of King Brothers in the Big Chino
 By the construction of a dam 125 feet high and 1900 feet across, the company feels assured that the acre age above-named can easily be irri- gated. The damsite is 300 feet higher than Prescott. It is estimat- ed that the reservoir to be formed by impending the flow and storm waters of Walnut creek. will be about five miles in length. with an average Of two miles wide
 Over fifty miners inches of water on an average, the year round. flows through the damsite, disappearing in the sand one mile eastward. If a dam 2 feet high be constructed. the projectors feel sure that they can put water on the areas four or five miles north of Patterson's ranch and as far south as Prescott
 The damsite was located last D. cember and preliminary work has been done and location notices filed Capitalists in the east have interest ed themselves in the project and are now looking it over with the view of forming a syndicate for the construc- ton of the dam and the purchase of large acreages beneath it. IT carried through, as present indications point, the Hesandfosait company will have the largest private irrigation scheme in the Southwest.

In the face of wars and rumors OF

mess on export account. the trade to-
day amounting to $4,000 bushels, all
Canadian wheat
The average Spectator fears the
outcome of the unsettled condition in
the Balkans, and for this reason the
market is spared from bear onslaught
from day to day, and q consequent
shattering of values.
Millions of bushels of wheat are now
held in this country without a pros
pective buyer taking hold OF II, and
shipping it abroad.
There are two sides to the corn
market, and the factions are strong
ones. Those who favor the long or
bull side of the yellow cereal do so
in the belief that the market has been
oversoid. and that with unfavorabie
weather. and a lack of cars, receipts
are likely to be .curtailed to small
proportions, and a general scare. of
shorts is among the probabilities.
Those who favor the bear or short
side of the market feel assured that
with a light cash demand. and with
likelihood that the new crop must
come forward in smaller or greater
QUANTITIES, pToNeS TO thSUl thaS tiic
bear side of the market is the one on
which to pin their faith.
Only $4,000 bushels cash oats were
sold today. of which 100000 bushels
were for export. This was the weak
ening factor in that market as the
offerings were larger.
The grain list was mainly lower
half to "a cent for wheat. and Is to
~ for oats. Corn was unchanged to

house by Representative C. A. Lind

The resolution in a voluminous pre-

months since the investigation was
authorized the committee seems not
to have considered the investigation
from the standpoint Of securing facts
to aid in early future work In franz
ing remedial financial legislation, but
seems rather to have been planning
an Investigation as II for indictment,
and In such purpose is blocked by
those who have offended against hon

the personal privileges of banks so
sacred that their business shall not be
