Hon. Ralph Cameron, former
ly territorial delegate to Con-
gress, and planner and builder
of the Bright Angel Trail in the
Grand Canyon, has worked out a
plan, so reports say, which will,
when put into operation, benefit
the entire state of Arizona by
bringing hundreds of thousands
of people here. If this project
goes into effect it will create a
veritable empire. The plan is to
construct dam in the Coloradn
river between the towering
walls of the Grand Canyon.
The enterprise, which is being
backed by some Of the most not
ed engineers in the, United States,
if put through, will furnish the
people of Arizona, especially the
miners and farmers, to whom it
will be of the greatest benefit,
sufficient water at a very cheap
rate to develop their holdings by
means of pumping system that
will furnish them power as cheap
as can be had from any reclama-
ton service now in operation
The cost Of this project will be
about fifty million dollars, and
within a year this amount will
be available and active work Of
construction begun, according to
reports.
There are 2,500,000 acres of
land in the state that are unde-.
veloped, that this project will
bring under irrigation. This
means that the population of the
state will be more than doubled
inside a few years if the plan
goes through.
Arizona has some of the rich
est soil to be found anywhere on
earth, but without water it is
practically useless; and some of
the best mining sections are ly-
ing dormant because Of lack of
water, which will Immediately
become active should this pro-
ject materialize as prophesied.
There is an underground flow
of water in the Grand Canyon Of
from fifteen to 125 feet, accord
ing to the government geologi-
cal survey. The dam will cost
about six million dollars and the
six hundred miles of pole lines
and wire will cost about twenty
thousand dollars per mile. ac-
cording to estimates.
The shallow water found at
the north end in one of the val
leys stands above the level of
the main body of ground water.
In going from the barren flat a
short distance, the depth of wat
er increases continually and the
slope of the water tables becomes
more slight until at only a short
distance from the place water is
encountered near the surface and
at level entirely discordant
with the water table farther
south. Thus in one we'll the
water level is 1856 feet below the
surface and only four feet above
the water level at a point three
miles down the valley. In a well
in the northern part of the same
section the water level is only
thirty feet below the surface and
fully a hundred feet above the
water level in the first well. The
shallow water supply in the
draws comes from the run-off OF
the mountains which is directed

FEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The Fed
" eral League circuit IN 1915 will
be stronger and more compact
than the rather unwieldy one with
which the Federals will open the 1915
season.
President James A. Gilmore, of the
Federals, refuses to state definitely
lust what cities viii be dropped in
1915 and which new ones will be
taken in, but from one of the men
close to Gilmore and the Federal af-
fairs comes the tip that Kansas city,
Indianapolis and Buffalo will be sup
planted by Cleveland, Cincinnati, and
either New York City or Washington.
The Federals just now are at work
building stands that will seat from
$4,000 to $4,000 With the exception
Of Chicago, st. Louis, Brooklyn and
Baltimore, the stands being erected
are regarded as temporary structures.
AS little money as possible is being
put into the erection of these stands,
no doubt because it is planned to
abandon them next year.
uTHE 1914 season will be something
of an experiment all the year for
us" said Gilmore. For many of us
il will be the first year in baseball.
But we are learning fast; we are
learning new things each day, and al
ready we have learned through the
horrible mistakes made by the organ =
lied baseball people.

r IMMY GRANT, the sturdy little
Chicago bantam, stopped "Spi-
der" Britt in the seventh round
of a scheduled ten-round go at the
columbia Theater last night. Britt
hit the canvas six times, and at no
time did he have a chance against
the Chicagoan.
Had not Jimmy broken his right
hand in the second round, it is doubt
ful if Britt would have lasted four

times in the sixth session, and the
knock out blow came in the seventh.

Britt was badly beaten fighter al

the country. Jimmy has done all
that has been asked of him, and is
to-day by far the best boy pf his

good use of his left hand and piled up

he trimmed Sailor Petroskey. Jim

AttOrney-General Snstains
Orange Health Officials
in Dispute Over ArmOry

Ierminatingsa controversy between
the State military authorities and the
Orange Board of Health, Attorney
General John Wescott has given a
decision in favor Of the city authori-
ties. Today workmen commenced the
task of rearranging the sewage pipes
in the new 100000 Orange armory to
conform with the rules of the health
officials.
The trouble between the military
and civil officials was due to differ
ences of opinion over the disposition
of water from the swimming pool.
The military authorities insisted that
the water should go into the sanitary
sewer, and in consequence arranged
all the plumbing with the idea of
making the connections with the san
itary sewer pipes. The Orange health
officials insisted that the proper con-
nection for the swimming pool was
with the storm sewer. They are sus-
tanned by the attorney general
The decision will entail additional
cost upon the State military authori-
ties, as the various connections must
be changed in consequence of the
Board Of Health's rules.
