what we used to call the "old fighters" here in this valley, seeking to recover the rights that they thought had been taken from them by the Grand and the Arizona canals. We fought those cases out from 1893 until 1904 or 1905. During all of that time was engaged in the study of irrigation law-in the study of the practice of irrigation. in acquaintlng myself with the conditions that prevailed, not only here, but also throughout the entire state, with refer ence to the appropriation and the appli- cation of water to the cultivation of the soil.
 The Reclamation Act
 In 1902 there was passed by Congress the bill that is commonly known as the Reclamation Act or the National IT, rigation Law" Prior to that, however, and pending with that bill was a bill introduced into the Congress providing that this county might bond itself for two million dollars for the purpose of constructing d reservoir at the site of the Roosevelt reservoir. The two bills went down side by side in Congress. and the Reclamation law was passed, which made unnecessary that special law pro- vidlng that we might bond ourselves for two million dollars for the purpose of erecting an impounding dam to cre-

Judge Kibbey began his remarks with some humorous references to Senator Ashurst's oratory, and ex- plained that he had been too busy. most of his life, to acquire his oppon- ents arts of oration. He modestly re- ferred to the fact that 1t is not the ora tors who do things or get things done, either in or out of congress; that ora tory belongs to past era. and that this Is a practical age. He also ex- plained that, being busy man, he had never tried to be a politician, and had never tried to acquire the art of as- suming an intense interest in every man he meets. He then said:
 l came to this state about twenty eight years ago as the attorney for the promoters of the Florence canal; and l was directed by my client to look up the law with reference to irrigation the appropriation of water for the pur- pose of cultivation of the land; to de- termine. if could what were the rights of the appropriator, what might be the rights of a corporation that was incor- porated to construct works to divert that water and deliver 1t to those lands; and they said to me, We have no e-conceived notions We don't know what the law is.

Salt River valley for the benefit of the lands of this valley
 Those suggestions were printed in the newspapers. They were printed in pamphlet form, and were distributed all over this valley-read and now forgotten, I suppose. but nevertheless, those suggestions today read like prophecy, the fulfiument of which we see in the erection of this splendid ir- rigation system in this valley of ours; step by step it has been followed until it Is like a fulfilled prophecy.
 The People Respond.
 Immediately upon the promulgation of those suggestions, the people who constituted that committee employed me as their attorney to draft articles of incorporation of the Salt River Val ley Water Users Association, and I prepared the articles of incorporation; and thousands and thousands of copies of them have been circulated in this county. Every water user has had copy.

among those who have given attention to the irrigation law. known as the Wormser case. The trial of that case. involved the rights of the appropria- tions of all the water in this valley. There were many parties to the case. probably eighteen or twenty different canal companies, each of them divert ing the water from this river and ap plying it to the lands. That resulted in a decision that has become known in the books and among those who are in- terested in the application of law to the question of irrigation as the "Kib- bey decision" The case never was ap- pealcd to an appellate court, but it has been transcribed Into text books and into the books published by the Secre- tary of the Interior and the Geological Survey; and 1t was the basis of the de- cision by the late Judge Kent in the famous Kent decision" The princi- ples laid down in the Kibbey decision have been at last recognized all over the arid west, as the true principles ap- plicable to the appropriation and use of water.

I gave to 1t that consideration that I could; and I pre- pared and promulgated in thls valley, in August of that year, some suggestions as to the manner and the means by which the people of this valley could avail themselves of the benefits of the National irrigation law.
 Hopes Take Form.
 These suggestions were taken up by committee that had been heretofore appointed by the people of this valley, consisting of twenty-six members of some of your most distinguished men. Of that committed of which B. A. Fowler was chairman. and Frank H. Parker was secretary, there was a committee of eleven selected who should have the immediate charge of the matter of the investigation into any means by which we might secure the beenfits of that or of any other aw for the storage of water in the

The program which was given by
the Woman's Club last Friday after

marks in her gracious way, adding
to what had been already stated,
about putting these branches of

especially in the lower grades, where
the application would be more practi-
cal and would reach the greatest num-
bers of students. After Mrs. Bryan's
remarks, the meeting was turned in
to a reception in honor of the Clubs
distinguished guest of the afternoon.
Mrs. Bryan is a most charming and
motherly sort of woman, a fit co
sort for her distinguished husband,
who is of the fatherly sort. Great
ness, has not turned their heads into
wavs of snobbishness.
The guests were served to cream

They have done more to modernize
apartment house construction and the
establishment of community spirit
than any other operating concern in
the United States.
They have built block upon block
of fine apartment houses and among
their most notable holdings are the
Hendrick Hudson, one of the largest
and most attractive of the great resi-
dental structures overlooking the
Hudson river from Riverside Drive in
New York City and the modern office
building at Fifth avenue and 44th
Street occupied by the Harrison Ma
tional Bank and other leading insti-
tutions and business firms.
Mr.. Boynton went over the lands
of the Florida Farms & Homes, Inc,
with Mr.. Murphy and expressed him
self as greatly impressed with the
prospects of this section of Florida
and the bright outlook for the colony
lands.
He was particularly pleased with
the demonstration farm of the COM
pany at Orange Springs and the won-
derful advantages of the big min
eral spring there.

Of the most profound students of real
