Slple Of course, measurements of wa ter cannot be made to any very exact degree, but by means of a simple de- vice of stakes, he flow can be meas ured with a sufficient degree of ac- curacy. When an acre foot of water costs but soc it is not necessary to get it to less than ten per cent of eXactness. Measuring boxes will be installed in time, but 1t is not needed to place them all at once. When they are all in their number will not be so large as some think. 1 estimate them at 1900 for the whole valley. Until the time comes when they are all placed, the method of read calculation will be entirely satisfactory in meas urlng the amount of water used on single farms and the measurements will be liberal that there may be no doubt of the former getting all he pays for"
 In respect of the protest against full advance payments MT Hill indicated that it is an economy of administra- tion but if it would work a hardship he had no objection to a division of the payments. The only difference could be a little more clerical work.

SHEET ALUMINIUM

The claim of sheet aluminium for decorative work by spinning, press ing and like shaping processing have been advanced by the British Alum mum company. The material has de- cided advantage in lightness and cheapness, and a square foot of sheet aluminium of ordinary thickness weighs II pounds and costs 28 cents, while a sheet of the same size anu thickness of copper weighs 3.1 pounds and costs e cents, and one Of brass weighs 356 pounds and costs 63 cents. Using the sOftest sheets, with wood or metal chucks, the aluminuni is easily spun on the lathe at speeds up to 5000 feet per minute. The work may be polished by the usual brass or German silver methods; it may be satin finished by a fine scratch brush at high speR: and it may be frosted by dipping for a few seconds in hot Caustic soda solution, then washing
 and plunging in nitric acid.

MR. HILLS STATEMENT OF WATER CONTRACT
Points Wherein 1t Differs from the
 Old.

Supervising Engineer Louis c. Hill, just in time to take part in the-to controversy over the water rate assessment installed by the i officers of the reclamation service | The supervisor had just come from a board meeting at Elephant Butte ] dam. He will pass. a few days in Phoenix looking into the protests of l the local farmers, then will go to Yuma After a visit to that project, l he is scheduled to appear at the Strawberry valley project in Utah. After the meeting of farmers yes terday afternoon at the Water Users building, MT. Hill was required to hold an informal discussion on the porch. He spent an hour of hard talking to convince the quizzers he could say nothing on the matter in agitation un- 1 til he had informed himself concern ! ing both sides of the controversy. To a reporter afterward he said concern ] ing the contract proposed by the local i gineerS:
 There are just three points where | this agreement materially differs from the former contracts. By the new form of contract, water is to be de- livered to the smallest land division. Heretofore the water has been deliver ; ed to the quarter section. By the new provisions it will be given at the smallest legal subdivision, the 40-acre tract Next is the matter of the right of way for the single supply and drainage ditch, for the service of peo- pie who cant get their water through government land One supply ditch, one waste ditch, and no more is re- quired for these people, and then only in exceptional cases where such lditches are necessary.
 The third point is the method of assessing the toll Instead of flat rate of $1.60 an acre a year, the amount to be determined by the indi- Vidual user. the minimum of three acre feet will cost $150 Added to this is approximately 15 cents charge for the first complete irrigation, 20c
 for the second. 25c for the third and BOG for the fourth.
 "The average amount of water used lper acre, measured at Granite Reef during the years -1910-1911 is 4.9 acre feet per year The loss in transmits
 sion to the land is about 36 per cent laccording to the courts finding. The tactual loss is assumed to be 30 per icent. That would make the amount fused per acre during the last two lyears when there was no effort at economy, 34 feet. In my opinion any farmer with a little care can save 10 iper cent of this, making it little more Ithan three acre feet he needs If he
 wants more, he can have it, there IS
 no limit, but he must pay for it.

TOLD TRUE STORY
 OF GRAHAM ROBBERY
Adair and Dittmore Finally Made A
 Confession.

Blackstone Adair and Dallas Ditt- more the boys who robbed the house of MT Graham northeast of the city or $2OO and then set out on a tour of the eastern part of the continent, yes terday signified that hey wanted to tell the truth.
 Both had been held to the grandjury notwithstanding the statement of Ditt- more that he knew nothing of the crime until long after it was committed and which statement had been confirmed by Adair. In summing up at the time of the preliminary examination Justice Johnstone told the boys how he thought the robbery had been effected and when they were brought before him yesterday they proved that he had made a good guess.
 They said that they went to the house for the purpose of getting the $200 which Adair knew to be there. The people of the house were at a cor ral nearby milking. When Adair ent- cred the house, Dittmore went to the corral and entertained the family and also kept himself in readiness to Signi- fly to Adair any unexpected return to the house Adair found the money, came out and that night they set out on travels which ended with their re- turn to Galveston from New York.

WEAR COLoRs ON THE BEACH

Has it ever occurred to women readers that the golden sand is an unequaled background for the widest burst of eXuberance, on their parts, Tn the matter of clothes?
 For sober grays, dark blues, dark greens and mauves, appropriate for some wear, clash horribly with the long, honey colored stretch While in their turn, tans, lawns and browns are simply killed by it's proximity.
 No! The more gorgeous the color ing, the better it tones with that shmmering, brown patch Why do scarlet, brilliant emerald, vivid saxe- blues and pinks so thoroughly har- mOnize with the color scheme at the seaside? Because, in spite of the op- posing brilliance of sky and sea, there is always that intervening strip of gold to act as a perfect frame to the richest of tints
 So, if you have any gown which you feel-well, is rather loud for home wear, take it with you to the seaside There you can don it with comfort, with no fear of disappearing com mentS

FOUND CORPSE
 OF OR. WILSON
It Lay in a Pool Below the Falls Nearly a Mile Be low Point Where He Was Drowned on Friday

The body of Dr R. D. Wilson, who was drowned in the Arizona canal on Friday morning, was found yesterday morning before it was quite light in q pool below the falls, little less than a mile below the point where he sank.
 The body was brought to the city and was viewed by Coroner Johnstone and d jury. The inquest will be con cmded tomorrow, a pOstponement nav ing been taken to await the arrival or Pete Davis who was present at the time of the drowning though he did not see the doctor sink. Davis went on to Granite Reef yesterday but is expected to return today.
 The body was badly confused. The clothing was torn about the knees and one eye was blackened, something that must have happened before death. The fact led to suggestion of foul play but that notion is not entertained by the authorities for there were other ways in which that injury might have been inflicted before death.
 The confusion on the body were probably made in the descent through one of the siphons at the falls where it is said it would shoot down for twenty feet. The clothing was filled with silt and in one of the pockets was found the doctors watch which had stopped at 1O:34 probably indicating the time when the water penetrated it. That must have been some time after the drowning for watch of that kind would for a short time at least, with stand the entrance of the water.
 It seems strange that Dr. Wilson should have entered the water with the watch and wearing his hat and shoes. The canal at that point is nine ty feet wide. The water was about twelve feet deep and was running rapidly
 The search of the night before was not abandoned until nearly midnight At that time it was not expected that il would be found for days It was not presumed that it had floated far, for weighted with the rapidly accumulat- ing silt it was expected that it would quickly sink to the bottom where it would either drop into one of the many large excavations or move slowly down the canal.
 But the withdrawing of the water from the canal hastened the flow at the bottom. The search was resumed at four o'clock yesterday morning

LAND OWNERS RESOLUTIONS
(Continued from Page D.

appeared in the meeting and did so. He stated that the contract was not devised by the Water Users associa- tion and that authority for it rested solely in the reclamation service, that it was promulgated by the local service by and with the authority or MT Adams, assistant secretary of the interior He cOntended that the amount of water designed to be served as a minimum, three acre feet at point of delivery, is but a small fraction of an acre foot less than the average amount used by the valley acreage since the dam was in com mission or during the last two years and referred to tables of measue- mtnts during that time in support of his statement.
 Respecting the feature of right of way for ditches, he said that in all likelihood but few farms would be thus affected and the contract pro- VideS for not to exceed one supply and one waste ditch on each farm if necessary. He said that it was demand that had often been made under irrigation projects, particular ly private projects and he believed it was a quite necessary privilege to secure successful administration. The members of the association however as represented by the speakers took issue with MT Hill and objected to that feature of the contract on the ground of principle. They believed it to be a violation of individual rights
 
 even though the privilege might not be abused it was a precedent they did not want established, and that when they signed the proposed con tract they surrendered one of their most valuable rights.
 The third feature of the contract to which the farmers objected is that of being required to pay for a years water in advance. In respect of that MT Hill said it was a minor matter and if it were shown that it would work hardship he had no doubt the secretary of the interior would be willing to divide the pay ments as has been done heretofore.
 There was some further discussion, some of it directed against officials Of the service. A preamble followed by two resolutions was introduced by sam Barrett, the text being that printed at the beginning of this story with the exception that the second resolution was a severe arraignment of the reclamation service in connec- tion with this matter. After dis cussion that resolution was voted down and the published portion was passed by a vote that was practical ly unanimous.

RouNoUP's FOUNDER is DEAD.

Butte.-W. w. Taylor. general SUI
perintendent of all coal mines for the
ST. Paul system of railroads for many
years, and one of the big mining men
OF the Northwest. died at Roundup of
blood poisoning caused by carbuncle
on the back. after an illness OF week.
The body was sent to Chicago. Mr..
Taylor's former home.
Mr.. Taylor has had large part in
the development of Montana. He was
the discoverer of the Roundup coal
field. He prospected that region for
coal before the arrival of the Puget
Sound road into Musselsell Valley.
At Roundup he was regarded as the
father of the town. Mr.. Taylor's
health has not been good since the
mine disaster at Cherry. ILL.,. about two
years ago. He was one of the first on
the scene OF the disaster, and took
active charge OF the rescue work. Mr..
Taylor was especially interested in the
mines of the Republic Coal company
At Roundup.
