HAVE NJ RIGHT
 IN CON. DITCH
Utah Canal People Must Now Take Water From River for Themselves; Get No Satisfaction From En- gineer Fitch

Denying absolutely that the Utah Irrigating Ditch company has any carrying right in the Consolidated canal between the Granite Reef dam and the place known as the spillWay, the reclamation service yesterday made reply to the canal owners pro- pOsal to build d wing dam in the WasteWay for the purpose of taking their share of the normal flow of the Salt river.
 The Utah canal trouble has been in the Hmelight for number of weeks and has lately demanded the atten- tion of no less man than Director Newell of the reclamation service. On some claim, which it is impossible for anyone. even the reclamation ser vice engineers and attorneys to dis cover. the land owners under the Utah canal want an easement or a carrying right in the Consolidated canal This the service denies, and in his letter yesterday Project En- gineer Fitch emphasizes the denial and adds that although the govern ment is willing to carry the water from the dam to the spillWay. this | does not admit the right. but is only an economy measure. According to | the letter the service will act strict 1 ly on the order of the water com missioner and turn the water into the Salt river at all costs. This means the Utah people will have to 1 pick their water up in the river and not in the WasteWay where their | structures will. according to the posi- l tive statements of the engineers in
 terfere with the governments work. 1 The present controversy on the 1 Utah canal matter dates from the is i suance of the order from Water Com l missioner Hancock on which the gov ernment prepared to let out water from the spillWay as the most con- venient place to supply the Utah i head gates in the river. In the agreement, which was more than sug
 gested by the attorney for the Utah
 water users, it was stipulated that 1 water should be let into the Salt
 river for the Utah people to pick UT
 at their old heading or any place else where it can be done most ! economically. After three weeks ot the thirty days left for them to get ready to take the water from the | river had passed. the president of the
 company submitted a blue print tc the reclamation service. This plar
 was for a short dam with six gates
 to be erected within seventy feet O1
 the turn out which is used in times
 of pressure on the Consolidated cana to let the excess water into tho
 wasteWay where it may find it's way
 to the river As this was the mos
 convenient place to let out the water

THE ARIZONA STATE FAIR

One of the greatest assets of the fair is its track. The track. also the fair, has national reputation.
 Let me quote from a letter received from John W. Pace. secretary and treasurer of the North Pacific Fair association. as follows:
 Phoenix has gained more or less Of a national reputation it seems. and can do things that we cannot"
 It was the intention of the or ganiZers of the fair to make the fair grounds the mecca of horse trainers for winter work. High railroad rates. long distance from where early rac- ing begins. and the lack of proper accommodations for the trainers them selves have mitigated against the success of such plan
 This is the first winter that any great number of horses have win tered here There are now over forty head at the fair grounds stables, and good ones, too
 Among them is lmpetuous Palmer, the greatest three year old pacer of 1913 If he rounds into great four year old form it will be a great asset to the fair as a Wintering place
 While most of the horses at the fair grounds are Arizona horses, there are ten of them that have records un- der 2:2O, and half of that number with record of 2:l0 or better
 How are these for good ones:
 Directly. pacer, 2.03A
 Impetuous Palmer. pacer. 2:05A
 Blanche. pacer. DOG 3-4
 King Daphne, pacer. 2:07A.
 Last year during the hot months a number of Arizona horses trained at Prescott Others in various parts of the state. and others still were cam paigning in the east.
 Few realize how many good horses there are in Arizona now. When it comes to heavy draft stock. you can find as good ones here as any state in the union

would interefere to the extent that a picket fence would stop an avalanche. The emergency gates in the turn out structure can be opened so the full capacity of the canal can be let out in about thirty minutes The six hand operated gates on the dam would require an hour and half to open and in the meantime the concrete wing dam would be washed complete ly out by the flood
 Engineer Fitch asked that the pro posal of the Utah company be handed in in writing which was done the first of the week The written pro- posal included another scheme for a head in the Utah above the spillWay and sphon under the Wasteway Appended to the plan Was>a a letter requiring an answer by Wednesday noon and appointing a hearing before the water commissioner for one o'clock that afternoon. Mir, Hancock had not heard anything about this arbitrary disposal of his time
 The reclamation service has let il he known that it will tolerate neth- ing that will interfere with letting the water out of the Consolidated canal at the spillWay. The Utah peO- pie in their desire to get the matter cleared up soon will likely make the next move, either in support of their head gate plan or in suggesting an other plan without the features the service declares impracticable.
