MOB VIOLENCE LEADS
 TO ADDITIONAL CRIME
Negro Minister Discusses Frank LynchiDg, the European War and
 Lessons to Negro.

Gillett. Ark, Aug. 24.-Rev. J. G.. Robinson, the we'll known presiding elder of the A. M. E. church, closed a three days session of the quarterly Conference at Arkansas post today. During his closing address he took occasion to speak of the lynching of Leo M. Frank and the European war. He said in part:
 "The lynching of Leo M. Frank by a Georgia mob, in defiance of all the courts of the land, is but an echo of all the lynchings that have taken place heretofore. The editors of lead ing newspapers, and other good white men pleaded for the suppression of the mob but it continued. When the mob is allowed to go unchecked, it acts as a boomerang, and swings back in the face of the white man. All the negro has to do is to endure, pray, obey the law. and do right. and he will naturally migrate to his deserv- ed place as man and a citizen"
 Robinson warned the negroes that at the conclusion of the European war the tide of immigration would set in and thousands of skilled farm CTS and mechanics of Europe locate in the South.
 "Only those negroes who own their homes and are possessed of practical education will be able to compete with those immigrants. Prepare and take warning" he said. Robinson also de- clared that if the United States should go to war, thousands of negroes would volunteer for service. Preacher as l am," he declared, "l will organize a company and do my part gladly to help keep this nation in the front rank of nations of the earth"

 It often happens that little saw ings account at the bank has carried people over times when they would have been mighty sorry without it.

Vicious machines, requiring little at
tention Ultimately many more will
be installed around the edges of the
irrigation project.
Water is sold to the Iandholders
at fifty cents an acre foot, up to
three acre feet. If more is used the
charge is slightly higher. This plan
of selling water on the acre foot basis
was inarsutated in October 1912. Pri-
or to that water was delivered on
flat acreage basis AS the water
users did not have to pay for the
exact amount delivered. they natural
ly gave little thought to the conser-
walton of water and as a result there
was much waste Under the new sys-
tenn the duty of water has increased
from 3.25 feet per acre per year to
rs feet per acre. THIS is spoken of
as an increase because a given amount
of water now irrigates more land than
formerly. Further reductions are
hoped for, as farmers and reclamation
service officials are cooperating in
the effort to cut down consumption.
The photographic work carried on
inestimable Importance. These inves-
legations have shown that As per
cent of the water diverted into the
canals is lost through seepage and
irrigation. They have shown that in
1914. 222,647 acre feet of Verde water
went to waste. And plans are now
under consideration for the saving of
much of this seepage by cementing
the canal photographic data on the
Salt River project is available as far
back as 1899.
Drainage work is carried on in con
rection with the hydroEraph investi-
cations. In February. 1915, the engi-
neer in charge of drainage segregated
two districts, which are to be investi-
gated carefully. One district $1,000
acres, lies west of Phoenix: the other.
5000 acres is between Tempe and
Chandler Over these districts test
boring have been made at quarter
mile intervals, affording accurate data
regarding underground water and soil
strata In all other irrigated districts,
the underground flow is slowly rising.
1t is estimated that the lining of
the canals, laterals and bitches with
concrete would save ninety per cent
Of the water now lost through evapor-
alton and seepage. This would add
init the addition of a large area to
the irrigated area. Concreting the
laterals alone would save enough
water for over 10000 acres. Another
plan the valley, has for increasing it's
water supply is to build a storage
dam on Verde river, a few miles above
the mouth. An excellent damsite ex-
lists and enough water for $1,000 acres
can be stored there.
1t is not visionary to predict that
the time viii come when the Verde
dam will be constructed and the ca
mails, and bitches will be lined from
enc to end with concrete, thus great
ly increasing the irrigated area. 1t
is certain that as time goes on the
farmers will learn how TO produce ]

stored water is 10000 acres, and
plans are under way to add $4,000
acres, making a grand total of PIP. 200
acres. Therefore. if the water stored
in the reservoir was spread out at
once over the land on which it will
ultimately be used, that land would
be covered to depth of more than
seven and a half feet.
Naturally the Roosevelt dam and
reservoir are the most striking fea-
lures Of the Salt River project. But
they are by no means the only fea-
lures. Fifty miles below Roosevelt
and about three miles below where
the Verde merges with the Salt River,
Is the Granite Reef diversion dam,
concrete wall 1000 feet long extend
ing diagonally across the stream. In
constructing the Granite Reef dam
$500 cubic yards of concrete and 49,
900 cubic yards of earth were used.
The cost was s622.7s4. In many ways

Network Of Canals Carry Life Giving Water To Waltz
Valley Is Scanned With
Main Canals Leading
From Roosevelt Damn

Valley farmers was at last in a fair
way to come true.
Numerous unforeseen difficulties de-
layed the construction of the dam. 1t
was not until September 20. 1906
that the first stone was laid. The
last one was laid on the parapet, ex-
tending from end to end of the crest,
February 5, 1911, and the official dedi-
| cation was held March Is of that year.
Ex-president Theodore Roosevelt de-
!ivered the dedicatory address.
Long after the dam was finished
there were scoffers who said that the
reservoir would never be filled to
its greatest capacity. On April IA
of this year water splashed over the
spillway at the south end of the mon
umental structure. The reservoir was
full; not another drop could be i'm
pounded. At no time since April 20
has the stream flowing over the spill
way been less than two feet in depth
With the reservoir full, more water
IS being furnished by the Salt and
Verde rivers than the farmers can
use and a great stream is flowing
away TO the sea.
1t cost So, 1900 to build the Roose-
welt dam. No less than s551, 900 was
expended on permanent roads for
the damsite. though in a. place of
great natural beauty, was almost in
accessible. In order to freight in sup
plies it was necessary to construct a
sixty mile highway from Mesa This
is the far-famed Roosevelt road, that
is known throughout the world for the
magniflcence, beauty and charm of
Its scenery. 1t is part of a trans
continental highway across the United
States.
Not all the material used in the
construction of the dam was freight
ed from outside. The rock, of course,
was quarried right out of the noun
tains buttressing the site. A cement
mill and sawmill We're constructed
nearby. and it is estimated that the
saving effected thereby was s644.O
Mere figures give on only a faint
idea of the Roosevelt dam and lake.
They are so stupendous that they
cannot be comprehended by the hu-
man mind.
The dam towers 2s4 feet from its
lowest foundation and Pa feet above
the bed of the river. The total length
at the bottom is 21O feet and the top
1925 feet. y roadway runs along the
crest connecting the sections of the
town of Roosevelt which are on OPP
posite sides of the river
When full, as it is today. the lake
created by this titanic structure is
rs miles long. covers 26.3 square
miles and contains 1857. 900 acre feet
of water. The average depth is 81
feet.
An acre foot of water is enough to
cover an acre to a depth of one foot.

age price was IS ton. Anyone who
knows anything at all about farming
in the Salt River valley will cOncede
that both of these figures are eX-
tremely conservative.
Some of the most profitable crops;
small fruits, $40 an acre; deciduous
fruits, 500; watermelons, $110; sugar
cane. $48; long staple Egyptian cotton,
$40; cantaloupes, $40; broom corn,
$3.50. Other crops figuring promi-
nently on the report were barley,
beans, corn, garden truck, oats, olives,
potatoes and wheat.
The climate of the Salt River VAL
ley is semi tropical. 1t is healthful to
man and causes to flourish every pro-
duct Of tropical or temperate zone.
There is never a crop failure. All
danger of drought is eliminated by the
Roosevelt dam and the magnificent
irrigation system which supplements
it. Pests which deVastate less favor
