HOW ID STOP
 WATER WASTE
Device by a Phoenician by Which This May Be Ac- cOmplished and Noxious Weeds and Grasses Elin.- mated

The fact that irrigation water is hundreds of miles of ditch water ways to irrigate the vast acreage of the Salt River valley, has set many men to thinking on lines for econ omical saving of the resulting waste of water. MT. D. H. Burtis of Phoe- nix. who for a number of years has been working in various lines with cement has recently perfected a plant for the manufacturing of a system that gives promise of revolutioniZ- ing water carrying ditches in the Salt River Valley. His ideas have just been protected by application for patent in Washington. It Is nothing other than flat sectional ditch lining of cement concrete construction made in a factory. that, like shingles for q roof, can be transported to the country, and a ditch quickly made. An investigation of the samples al ready made by MT. Burtis through the Concrete Cement company. at Fifth and Jackson street in indeed interesting. Each section is a flat piece of cement slab. so made with Tsabbit ends that with a little cement the slabs can be promptly attached to each other. end to end. or edge to edge. The ditch Is prepared ac- cording to a templet, with q flat bottom. and with sides approximately at a 4j degree angle. The side sec tions are rabbited to the base at this angle when the sections are placed in the ditches prepared for the lining. The sections are made for various size ditches. The minimum manufactured at present will carry so inches of water. The bottom is 1t or 20 inches wide by A inches long, and the sides are 15 inches high and 24 inches long. The side sections are laid so that the ends will come in the middle of the 24 inch base section. just as bricks are placed in the wall. This with the particular cement mortar used makes a ridged ditch.
 There are of course. sections made in which can be inserted headgates The sectional sides are so constructed that every other 24 inch section is one inch lower that the other. This admits of an even flow of water across the entire head of each land between the irrigation borders. and gives better distribution of the water
 Mir Burtis has done a great deal of experimenting. and is sure that he has struck something that will prove of great interest. and economic value to the farmers of the Salt River Valley. Two men can lay a lot of this in one day. MT. Burtis' esti- mates that the ditch can be built acording to a templet tho sections purchased. and the work of laying them done, SD that a lined ditch will cost approximately 75c running foot. This is on basis of so inches of carrying capacity. MT. Burtis ex- plains that one of the great value S of this ditch will be the subsequent elimination of bother from obnoxious weeds, and grasses along ditches and thus save q big upkeep expense to the farmer. and a further Deautificn- ton of the ranch.

Famous Peace Treatieg:
 END OF GRAND ALLIANCE WAR sg

It was during the years when tue iayorite pursuit of Europes nations was to form alliances or "coalitions" against Napoleon.
 Napoleon would industriously thrash one alliance after another and dictate humiliating peace terms to his beaten Socs.
 Then, as soon as they would set their breath again, they would form new coalitions against him.
 While Napoleon had little trouble in defeating any or all of his enemies, his genius prompted him to try and break up these alliances by turning some of his west powerful foes Into friends. thus to weaken coalition and block Great Britain's anti-French move And be chose Alexander L.

 "The representatives from South eastern Alaska. especially those from Juneau. thought the money should bel spent in the first division of Alaska, for that is where the greater part Of the Tongass forest reserve is situated. and the Tongass yielded most of the revenue.
