EXPERTS RECOMMEND
STORAGE RESERVOIRS

That the construction of storage
reservoirs is recognized by the lead
ing engineers of the world as the
proper means to be employed for
river regulation is evidenced by the
fact that the International Congress
of Navigation is on record to this
effect.
At the last session of the congress,
which was held in Philadelphia, con
siderable debate was entered into on
this subject. At its conclusion the
congress recognized in an important
way the usefulness of reservoirs in
the regulation of the flow of streams.
A portion of the resolution adopted
by the congress is as follows:
1.-THE navigability of rivers having
but one current can be improved, as
has been stated many times at the
Navigation Congresses, by various
methods, such as: regulation of the
bed by permanent works, regulation
of the bed by mechanical dredging,
increase of depth by additional water
supply furnished by storage reser-
voirs; canalization of the bed; COM
bined action by two or more of the
above processes; construction of
lateral canal"
The Importance of this interna-
tional recognition of the feasibility
of storage reservoirs can only be
appreciated when ore realizes that
for many years prominent engineers,
notably those connected with the
United States War Department, have
argued against storage reservoirs for
river regulation

The majority Of Yucataceans, the
Mestizos, are the offspring from the
union Of Spanish and Indian parents
They are considered by many to be the
handsomest race to be found in any
part of the Republic. They are hon
est to a degree and the men are very
manly in their mode of life. They are
much given to athletics and games;
especially to baseball, in which they
excel, having been originally coached
by American professionals. There are
several clubs of no mean order in the
state and some good matches are held
At every hacienda, after the days
work has been done, there is usually
a baseball game started. Although
the players do not know any English
to speak of they use a number Of
English words in the game, such as
"out," foul" ely" and safe"

SNAPSHOTS FR0M YUCsTaN

The Maya indians invented the
hammock and gave to the civilized
world that boon to humanity in hot
climates. Yucatan is really hammock
land and nobody but a foreigner
would ever dream of sleeping in any
thing else there The native Yucca
tacean regards a bed as highly unsani-
tary and rather disgusting. 1t GER
tainly cannot compare with a clean,
cool and well ventilated hammock
Most people think that to sleep in
hammock all you have to do is to
get into it. Wrong. A Yucatacean
never lies lengthwise in hammock
as we do. He gets in with a peculiar
twist and lies diagonally. In that
way the strain on the mesh is so dis
tributed that it fits him perfectly and
makes a most comfortable bed.
Lying lengthwise, they say, is
ridiculous. 1t ruins the hammock and
is uncomfortable besides. Also
Yucatacean never puts his feet in
hammock with his shoes on. He con-
siders that in exactly the same light
as we would going to bed with our
shoes on, for they are very particular
to keep the hamnocks spotlessly
clean. Every week they are washed
with soap and water whether they
show any signs of soil or not.
The use of hammocks for beds Is a
most convenient arrangement for
housekeepers. 1t makes the sleeping
Accommodations elastic. The only limit
to them is the number of hammocks
and the hooks in the walls. Six ham,
mocks can be slung in one room
where only one bed could be placed.
In the morning all that is necessary Is
to take down one end and hang 1t
against the other wall. That clears
the bedroom. 1t is a sitting room
from then until sleeping time again.

Mr.. swENsoN's LETTER

Mr.. Frank H. Swenson of Summer
land, Arizona, has written an open
letter defining his position on a num-
Der of matters which are of concern
to the voters of our county. Mr..
Swenson's letter is straightforward
and. manly and while we are inclined
to think the writer of the open letter
to legislative candidates desired to as
certain definitely the personal view of
the candidates on the question of
prohibition yet it is possible Mr..
Swenson's statement is sufficient. 1t
is an easy matter however to say that
prohibition is a settled question. In
our judgment prohibition in Arizona
will never be settled question and
we take as criterion of the future
here what the past has been in states
where prohibition in name has been
long established. We hope Mr.. Sven
son will come to Ray and get acquain-
ted with the voters of this district.
Certainly there is no spot in the coun-
ty where candidates receive a more
royal welcome than they do here.

AN APPEAL
From the Horses to the Summer
Visitors
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
While driving for pleasure and en-
joying the beautiful scenry, we pray
you to consider us, without whom this
enjoyment would not be possible.
There is very much that you can do
to protect us, your willing servants,
from unnecessary suffering and per-
manent injury.
1t is true that our owners must keep
us through the year, and we are will
ing to work hard and earn as much
as we can for them during the short
season that you are here, but we ap-
peal to you to try to create public
sentiment that will protect us from
abuse while we are doing our best to
minister to your pleasure
If you would refuse to ride in any
conveyance that is overloaded, or be-
hind those of us who have had the
misfortune to become lame, and if
you would encourage our drivers to
consider us, and not urge them to
whip us or drive too fast, a very diff
ferent state of things would soon exist.
Please use your Influence to prevent
our being driven again when we have
already done hard days work.
Fast driving, and too many hours OF
work, injure US more in one day than
weeks of hard work with kind manage
ment.
Do not overload our buckboards or
other carriages; it is often on account
of your want of thought and not from
the fault of the drivers, that we are
overloaded.
The drivers, naturally, wish to please
those who hire them, and not all have
the courage to do what they know to
be right.
It will help US greatly if, when we
come to steep hills with heavy load,
some of you will tighten our task by
walking.
Stopping few moments on the way
at the top of hill to enjoy the scenry
will often give us a much needed rest.
Well-oiled axles will save much of
our strength.
Do not encourage drivers to race
with each other
If possible, hitch your horse in the
shade in summer. Do not allow him
to stand facing the sun in summer or
the wind and storm in winter.

BOCEY MAN DID
He REALLY GET ONE

Bogey man, bogey man,
Come in the night
Take little Carlos
Cause he won't do right.
Grab little Carlos with your big black
hands,
And carry him screaming to the sha-
dow lands.
And out of the shadow lands
True to his name
The bogey man, bogey man
Bogey man came.
Lives there the boy who really met
the DOGGY man" of fairly lore? Carlos
Bota of Ray did. So he says Car
los went to the picture show Wednes-
day night. AS he came home in the
darkness he was thinking what fine
chance for witches and hotgobblins to
get him.
Don't scream or I'll kill you" This
was his first intimation that the sure
enough gobblins had him. This is the
way the adventurer told it to w. A.
Lewis constable at Ray.
"The big black man clapped his
hand over my mouth and lifted me in
his arms and he carried me a long,
long way. 1 was awful scared 1
could almost hear the giant saying,
Fee, fic, fo, fun, 1 smell the blood of
an Englishman.' When the giant set
me down 1 was on a hill side south of
Ray. I could see that he was a big
man.
I'm the bogey man that gets all
bad kids he said See that big club
there? I'll kill you with it if you
wigle.' I saw the club and 1 was so
scared couldn't whisper / thought
heard some other kids crying. The
bogey man had them. This is the
fate of all bad boys, the bogey man
said
The bogey man heard a noise and
ran away about twenty-five feet and
started to run. He chased me a
long ways and finally fell down.
Il thought the lad imagined it ALL
Lewis said, Boys will do those things
some times you know. But when he
kept telling me that he would take
me to the place where this happened
decided to humor him. He took me
to a hillside south of Ray. There was
a big club which he pointed out as the
one the bogey man had'
Lewis thinks it was the prank Of
some one who had taken on to much
personal use.
