LANE ASKS BOARD
TO TAME RIVERS
Secretary Urges Commission to
Find Means Of Raising
Necessary Sum.

Declaring that the tanning of the rivers
Of the United States IL not only ESSEN
tial for the safety OF life and property,
but in the economic development of the
country, Secretary Of the Interior Lane
in his forthcoming annual report will
recommend creation of a commission to
devise ways and means OF providing the
"staggering sum" necessary for this ac-
compiishmentl
Secretary Lane does not believe the
present generation should bear the en-
therefore, favors some bonding or credit
plan. He cites the Colorado river to
show how infinitely the matter of flood
control and reclamation are bound to-
Discussing the situation. Secretary
Lane says in part:
How these great works can be car
ried on calls for constructive thought.
not merely on the engineering side
but more Immediately upon the finan-
cial side as to those ways and means
by which the lands reclaimed shall be
made to bear In some degree the bur-
den of the expense. As to the fun ls
which will be needed, they mount into
such figures as TO be staggering. AMI
l can see no hope that this work Will
be adequately undertaken without the
Government advancing Its credit and
investing directly some OF its own
funds. We are conducting this Gov
ernment from day to day out of cut
rent revenues. Only the richest OF
people could pursue such q policy.
No private enterprise attempts II. No
railroad system has been built that
way. But few of the States now con-
struct their highway systems out of
the years revenues.
The permanent improvements which
the whole people undertake are a le-
gttimate charge against capital ac-
count, not against maintenance A COM
mission to devise the ways and near $
by which the States and private land
owners and the National Government
can cooperate in paying for the
work done seems to me a more need
ed body than one which will report
upon engineering methods"

PHOENIX IS STRONG
 FOR MUSIC OF THE
 6. & 4, BAND PEOPLE
Bisbee Organization in Phoenix fer the State Fair at the Ex- peGse of the Big Mining Com 7a1y: Music Is Appreciated.

pHOENLE. Nov. 18,- Through the raUey oi Capt John c. Greenway t,l band Of the Calumet and Arizona .o-8.r company played a delightful concert at the Hotel Adams last night and also furnished tho music for the ua caa. of the local branch Of the
 asy League earlier in the evening.
 The band, composed of thirty work iue uers of the c. & A. forces, is under the direction of W. H Martin and the competent conductor is to be coneratulated on the results of his efforts and his training The solo work was surprisingly good and the ensemble playing simply left nothing tO be desired The entire concert was a revelation in the possibilities of band music and it was thoroughly en- joyed by the crowds who filled every available foot of the space on the ground floor and in the mezzanine bal comics of the hotel
 At the conclusion of the concert the band and its clever leader were given an ovation and J. C. Adams made a short speech stating that every mem ber of the organization is a working miner and that the men are sent to Phoenix and to the fair at the eX pense of the company while they are paid the same wages as though they were working.
 X somewhat unusual feature of this band is the use of two piccolos and the innovation is far from displeasina adding greatly to the brilliancy of the effects
 The soloists were T Tuhone, cor net: R. Osborne, baritone, and Der Martin and August Neumann, piccolo who rendered a delightful duet "Wi
 O. the Wisp' by J. s Cox, Features
 of the program were the William Tell" overture, the America" over
