The Wasted Verde Waters

Readers of The Republican who that pie of the state bridge at Tempe yesterday under stand that all that flood of water rushing under it to the had come from the Verde river. A very little of it was perhaps taken up at the intakes of small canal systems along the lower Salt and Gila rivers but the poured to the Colorado. where it needed.
 That was the third flood in the Verde within few weeks There will probably be others before the spring ends and then there will be long period during which the bed of the Verde will be dry and when rich lands will lie helpless and panting for water
 We have stored the waters of the Salt for at least 175OOO acres this valley. but there other thousands of for which there is water available from that There Soooo acres of Paradise valley lands whose natural of supply is the Verde river and which have other supply except by pumping.
 Every year enough water flows useessly down the Verde to irrigate all this and-and there is no better land exposed to Arizona sunshine There is enough water wasted to supplement the waters of the Roosevelt dam and irrigate every of land in the Salt River valley. Until this water has been stored the work of conservation in this region, the most promising one that presented itself to the reclamation service, will be incomplete
 We believe that the time has come to get at this matter in practical manner. We would suggest to the board of trade to take it up as subject which vitally concerns the whole valley The conserVa- tion of flood waters has become fixed national policy. and believe that if the matter of storing the flood waters of the Verde is presented to con grss properly it will receive the same favorable at tention that accorded to the earlier proposition to reclaim the arid lands.

Sparing the Rod

Spare the rod and spoil the child said fam ous sage of old; but hls wits running wild, his heart hard and cold. It taught in school and church. long ago, that every dad should equip himself with birch and assault the growing lad In the oden foolish days boys were whipped for every lapse, and it only served raise mutiny in manly chaps So the boys off from home, where they looked for love in vain; and pirates they would roam up and down the Spanish Main. Or they learned to lie and sneak, in their fear of oaken stave and. with teardrops the cheek. long ed for untimely grave. I would rather that I had a portion in the birthstone fire than be parent to lad who could fear and hate his sire.
