A whirlwind campaign was carried
on by the colored people of Philadel-
phia to raise enough of the money
pledged last year toward a colored Y.
NJ C. A. to make the $4,000 originally
asked of them. 1t was announced at
a meeting of the board of directirs of
the Y. M. C. A. that the choice of loca-
ton had narrowed down to two lots,
on both of which they have options.
The money for the lot is already in
bank, and when decision is made
1t will be bought at once. An archi-
tect accompanied a special committee
to Indianapolis to study the new col
ored Y. M C. A. that has recently
been erected there and is considered
one of the most complete in the coun-
try. 1t is expected the building Will
be well under way early in the sum-
mer.
The building will contain gym
nasium, swimming pool, etc. 1t will
have educational features and be
social center for the colored men OF
the city 1t will also provide hotel
for the better class of colored people
who are passing through the city and
now have no accommodations.

After a careful investigation of the
facts. | am convinced that every day
in the year there are as many as
100000 people of my race who are
sick enough to be incapacitated for
work, writes Booker T. Washington.
Other persons have estimated the
number of negroes who are sick all
the time to be as high as 100000. II
these figures are correct, it means
that on the average every member of
my race spends annually Is days in
bed, in the hospital, suffering pain
or recuperating from sickness that
might be spent in some form of
wholesome enjoyment or in useful
and efficient labor
1t is safe to say. on the same. basis,
that every day in the year there are
10000 negro workers idle, as result
of sickness, who would otherwise
be at work in some form of useful
employment. This is great loss not
only to the negro, but it is great
loss to the country. 1t has been esti-
is a net loss to the negro in earn
tngs and to the community as a
whole in productive labor of 100000
600 year.
This immense loss is not due to
the physical weakness of the negro
race. have frequently heard it said
that the negro, as he lived in Africa,
was more vigorous and more robust
than any other race on earth. He
had to be so to stand the climate.
Even today one will seldom find
among any race of people finer speci-
mems Of physical manhood than the
sturdy, unspoiled people of the negro
race in the country districts of the
south. These people are an asset to
the country and to the south, and it
seems to me tnat it is the duty of
every patriotic citizen to DO what he
can to conserve the life and health
of this portion of the population in
|. the condition in which it now is.

OF the 2,273,000 illiterates $4,000
are native whites. including both
those of native, foreign and mixed
parentage; $4,000 are negroes and
73S,O0O are immigrants. There are
interesting and encouraging points
with regard to the two latter classes
The negro illiterates seem to be
large number. But 1t represents
decrease of 1899 during the dec
ade, while the total of that popula-
ton shows an increase of 39S,OOO
The illiterate negroes are almost
wholly located in the south, where
they are not permitted to vote and
are decreasing there.

HORSESHOE BEND
 SPLENDID DAMs|TE
Party of Phoenicans Visit Propored
 Site on Verde

"The horseshoe dam site on the Yer de River is one of the finest locations for storage reservoir that I have ever seen," said State Land Commissioner Cy Byrne yesterday in talking of a recent visit he and a party of friends made to the site of the proposed addi- tional storage reservoir on the Verde to supplement the Roosevelt Dam. It looks to me as if. the location is equal to the RoosevelttIocation, and one thing is very certain if dam is ever con structed there, it will be in a position to back up millions of gallons of flood waters"
 In company with H. K Behn. R. M. Tuckey, Ed O'Malley, Clay Parker and James Parker. Commissioner Byrne in his automobile went to Horseshie last Sunday. The trip is an exceptionally hard one on motor cars on account of the absence of roads in that section. There are plenty of trails. such as are made by mounted horsemen, but the actual defined roads are meagre
 7. However, the delights and surprises of the trip well made up for the in conveniences experienced in travelling. A view of the prospect from the pro- posed dam site, the inspection of the remains of the work that was done originally by the Grant Brothers and 1helr associates, many years ago when the dam site was first filed upon for a private company, as well the tunnel through the mountain that was to be a part of the canal system, all bore more than ordinary interest to the party.

 By addition of the recommended 21 pumping plants, 195,000 acres.
 By addition of pumps and Verde storage reservoir, 211,0OO acres.
 Hanna's Recon mendatons
 In explaining the statement to the council yesterday afternoon, Supervis- ing Engineer Hanna recommended that:
 The water users accept the present limitation of 170,000 acres, because it will be at least eighteen months befora the project can be formally opened, and that there is an optimistic chance of things adjusting themselves in that time.
 That the water users assess them selves just as they have been doing, for power plants to add the twenty one re- quired pumping plants
 That the water users also assess themselves to build the Verde storage dam. As an alternative to the dam, to be used in case it's construction should prove costly. he recommended investi- gation of the plan of lining the ditches with concrete, and stated that this would conserve enough water that now seeps away, to add all the Verde dam could possibly add to the present sources of supply.
 The three improvements here men, tioned are sure to be made necessary in course of time, and may as well be in- stalled early, if there is any chance al all for this action
 That in case there is any excess of water between the present time and the completion of the improvements designed to add to the storage, it will not be permitted to waste down the river. for it is provided in the recom- mendations of the reclamation com mission that hitherto uncultivated lands may rent water at a rate of about $1.50 an acre foot. thereby coming up to the same plane as the cultivated land

Mr. Orme's Statement

Following Hanna came Jonn P. Orme, with strong recommendation that the statement be endorsed He said:
 The contract with the government says that in the adjusting of water rights. cultivated lands shall have tfC preference To make up these water supply limits, experts have put in eighteen years of Scientific study of the sources and demands. It is recom- mended that with our present sources we can water 180.O00 acres. with the pumping plants 195,000 and with the Verde project 1000.
 But 1SO,O00 IS the limit now, and we must keep to it. You all know we'll what it is to be on short water. Isn't it better to have 1S0000 acres well ir- rigated and prosperous than 211,000 pinched for water? The prosperity of Phoenix depends on the prosperity of the farmer and even if there are more. farmers and if they are each less pros porous, the city itself will suffer"
 MT. Orme addressed himself particu- larly to some of the old timers who have seen lean as well as fat years in this valley-years when there was no reservoir to bank on and the bed of the River Salt was dry as bone.
 T would like to let all the land in," continued Orme
 w. J. Murphy was for adding about three per cent to the estimated limit of the survey board. He said that many ways of water conservation could be figured out and named some crops that would do well with less irrigation. orchards. if properly cultivated, require much less water. Dates will thrive in the wet logged lands, where alkali has driven out everything else. This crop alone, said Murphy ought to supply the entire United States in time. Cotton | is. one of the crops that has been prov ] en a success, and it, too needs much less water than is usually given it. The possibility of rising water plane was | also pointed out by MT. Murphy as an i argument for increasing the size of the project.
 ] Mir. Kay declared that farmers were | in the habit of buying water for a
 quarter section and using it on small
 Ter strip of land. "No one plants his entire acreage each year." he said Frank H. Parker. a member of the survey board, declared that the figures used in the report were accurate to within considerable degree, and that
 no attack could be launched at the I report on the ground of error.
