 North pointed out faults in the ditch cleaning system and suggested man to take care of complaints. Davis promised this. Lewis suggested dis tricting the project and making the foremen of each division responsible for the work he got out of his diggers. Fowler came back with a suggestion to expand with the expansion of resourc- es. taking in lands cn twO-year limit.
 Hanna explained the cost of pump ing operations on the nine wells, and gave some figures Butler offered to connect a well with his lateral in three days. Davis called for more volunteers of this sort

 ODonnell leaped to his feet and said that the farmers were going to get everything they asked for, including 1 the trouble man.. ! Orme and Wilbur both made con- ] gratulatory speeches. Then a little woman rose, declaring she had exercised her prerogative to have the last word She asked if MT. O'Donnell would like to divide his famous GAO acre farm.

SEEK
 SAND SCENES
Little Work is Done on the "Desert'' by Phoenix Movie Troupe-Must Find Sand and Make Storm i'll River Bed Today

Disappointed in not finding large
 volumes of loose and shifting sand
 upon what is fondly called the "des-
 ert". Marshal FarnuEl, director of tt:c
 Selig Company, now here to make
 movies, will today seek what he wants
 in the way of arenaceous properties in
 the bed of the River Salt.
 It will be necessary in the course of
 the Hearts of Men to bury two grown
 men completely in the burning sands
 of the desert. There must be storm In this season, that will necessarily have to be a property storm.s So when the Seligs ride down the river bank this morning at about ten o'clock. there must be some artificial weather disturbances.
 Knowing the well known propensi- ties of the common people of following where the organ grinder kodak man 1 operates, Farnum has decided to utilize i the visitors. So he extends a special | invitation to everybody in Phoenix to 1 come down and throw sand.
 It is a pleasing commentary on the 1 mistakenness of the easterner on the i term desert-this error that the Seligs l fell into yesterday. Desert is a term i that to the average person means a
 waste of sand Arizona sand is not 1 wasted, specially in the Salt River Val7 l ley. Things grow on it. That may all 1 be very fine, but it absolutely spells l desert for movies. Because the folks i back in the effete and in England, 1 which is probably just as deserving of 1 the title as the east, want deserts ac cording to the joggerfies. and Boy 1 Travellers in Africa" So Farnum has 1 to go right down in the river bed to 1 make his picture. When the scene is l finally thrown upon the white screen, i no one will know that it was made within a few feet of that depleted i stream of water which is the source of i wealth for a great agricultural com munity.
 The Seligs have been enjoying their stay In Phoenix. Wearers of the ! Diamond s" emblem have been not , iced for their height and general good 1 looks all over town. One of the Seligs but not tall one, with a cowpuncher i nat, was observed on the Empress stage last night in a comedy act That

A 1 Prescott Selig. in which some of those i present were actors, has been on for ! some time at the Empress. It is Re i igion and Gun Practice by Wing. It will be continued so that some of the | Seligs can see themselves as others see them.

Paradise Valley above the Arizona Canal have received the impression that this is a recommendation that the land above the Arizona Canal be ir rigated from the Verde river.
 There has been no recommendation to this effect. The proposition for con- structing a reservoir cn the Verde, is for the purpose of taking care Of about 20.0O0 acres Of land now under the canal system and within the district covered by the Water users AssOcia- ton. which it is impossible to provide with @ permanent water supply from the Roosevelt Reservoir and the prac- ticable pumping area. This can be done without the construction of new canals and the need of the water upon these lands precludes the possibility of using it on lands above the canal in Paradise Valley or elsewhere
 Loftus: Stop and think The cost to each acre if there are 10000 in the project. will he higher than if there are 195000 acres
 Lem5le: Locate pumps where they will best serve the land"
 Lewis; Enlarge all canals so you can irrigate the entire valley in a short time That will allow for using all the Verde floods before they go down. AL falfa land is the best storage. Use plenty of winter water You can't put too much Of it on alfalfa in winter" Phelps: Deliver water when far merS need it. This will serve to econ omize'
 Fitch: Your water is not cut off now because of any arbitrary rule. but because of the cleaning of the Con- solidated. Water will be turned on again tomorrow"
 Stewart: 'Washineton doesn't un-
 derstand our needs. The appropriation for cleaning the southside canals has been delayed, and now we have been l deprived of water just when we need i it"
 i Davis: Washington may not, but i We are awfully glad to get your sug- i gestions We will determine the best l time to clean the ditches. These things shall be remedied. Your relief will be ! permanent and prompt. There is a
 deficit of s19,O00 in the maintenance

 This brought on a long discussion of 1 the iniquities of the maintenance and i operation department. Holladay at lacked the drones in the ditch cleaning i gangs. Fowler declared there ought to

 There were several Lewises. One of them said: How about school land?"

 stiliwell: Why waste Verde flood water?"
 Davis eXplainpd that there had been one free run of this water. Fitch gave it unauthorized, and he has been commended by the department for it. For all l know, the plan of selling it at half price may not be legal, but I'm for it."
 Here developed the Highine contro- veTsy, which was settled above On Frankness Davis continued to eXpound the prin- ciple of frankness, which he said had been lacking, but would no longer be lacking between the Reclamation Ser vice and the people. He said he was not for the spotted condition of the land, some being watered and others being left in desert condition. He then read statement, signed by himself, which is here reproduced: The recent recommendation of the Board of Survey that a reservoir be | constructed on the Rio Verde is said to have caused some misapprehension among certain people, which it is de- sired to correct.

 The farmers who attended in much larger numbers than at the Phoenix meeting Friday, had full and free op- portunities to register their kicks and they did so, but to a surprisingly small extent was the meeting one of protest. The fact was brought out, that the workers of the Reclamation Service were just as eager to make success of this, their first and model project as any land owner on it, and this fact, appreciated as it was by those present, added to the concord and peace of the occasion
