Officers
Locate Cause OF
Fires on Ships
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-Spontaneous
combustion is believed by ship yard
officials to have caused the fire in
the hold of the battleship Oklahoma
several weeks ago at the plant OF
the New York Shipbuilding Company
Government inspectors in charge OF
construction work are likewise as
sured that there is no foundation for
the incendiary theory suggested when
no one could discover the origin Of
the blaze.
Reports to this effect have been
sent to the navy department and in
sofar as the government is concerned
the investigation to determine the
cause of the fire is completed.
The Oklahoma was to have been
ready in October, but the fire will
delay completion until early in jan
uary.

Shadow on the

There is great deal of twaddle in
the pro-German papers about the

House. Commenting upon this. the

Just bit tired Of hearing him prove,
for the hundredth time, that he is
the only president who never made a

wearied Of hearing him called the
just. Would they have waited so
long as they did If Aristides had gone
up and down vociferating that he was
the only Just man in Greece?
And Americans, just at this time,
have special reasons for irritation at
a public man who shouts about the
fearful uismanagement of affairs at
Washington. We are facing i crisis
in our foreign relations. The rest Of
US are trying to keep still, and by
restraint and patience to help the

THE DEVELOPMENT
 OF IRR|GAT|ONS
Suggestions by w. A. Parish to Water
 Users of This Valley

In a statement yesterday concerning the development of irrigation in this valley, w. A. Parish said: The area of irrgable land of the Salt River Valley 1 project can be increased by first, the construction of the Horse Shoe dam on the Verde river; second, the utili- zation of suitable under ground water where feasible, by means of pumps; third, the elimination of water waste by cementing the canals and laterals and better methods of applying the water to the soil.
 ITO insure the greatest development of the valley it would seem best first. to utilize to the fullest extent the avail able waters, now lost, of the tributary streams before attempting to increase the water supply from within the pro- ject. By constructing the Horseshoe dam a reservoir would be formed that would supplement the one in existence on Salt River at Roosevelt and the area irrigated from the regulated flow of Che Verde and Salt Rivers could la ter be increased by utilizing the under ground waters and the water that can be saved by improving the distributing system.
 The Verde reservoir has been held for the benefit of the Salt River pro ject since 1904 and if it is not utilized by the water users of the valley it will be utilized by others.
 It is rumored that the Salt River pro- jcct will be officially opened in De cember of this year. People interested in the school lands under the project should memorialize the legislature to take the necessary steps to enable the state lands within the boundaries of reclamation projects to meet the 160 acre farm unit requirements of the rec lamation act; otherwise. congress will probably have to pass additional legis- lation before the school lands can se- cure water rights in the reservir.
