done and which is ready as a project for construction, as it is also the only unit of the statewide plan which could probably be secured at this time, ow- ing to the reasonable cost thereof. The statewide plan that has been proposed would require hundreds of millions of dollars to get under way and would have to be secured unit by unit any, way, as a lump sum sufficient would not be authorized by congress in any one appropriation. The San Carlos project. therefore, being a project ready for construction and the only unit of such statewide plan which is ready for construction, the farmers here feel it should and will be the first unit undertaken by the government, if sufficient pressure can be brought to bear to demonstrate it's desirability.
 Diversion Project Under Way
 Representatives of the Indian de- partment have arrived from Washing ton to sign up the white land owners under the diversion dam contracts for the building of the diversion dam and distrihut ng system at Florence. This system, of course, will be based only on the normal flow of the river and does not contemplate any storage. The division of the water agreed upon be- tween the representatives of the white interests and the representatives of the government is on the basis of 3500t acres to the Indians and 27,000 acres tc the whites and that the water be divided accordingly pro rata.
 certain area has been blocked out by the government officials in Wash ington as the exterior limits of the diversion project and all lands lyins within this area will be signed LII under the form of contract prepared Of course there is much more lant than the normal supply of the river will provide water for and. conse quently.sa large portion of the lant within this designated area will be un. able tc secure rights under the diver sion project.

APPEAL VERDICT IN
 MINE DEATH ACTION

There was brought up to the Su- preme Court yesterday from the Su- perior Court of Mohave County the case of J. A. George, administrator of the estate of Mart R. Smith, against the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, on appeal by the defendant from the lower court in which jury had found verdict against the defendant in the sum of s6000.
 Smith died as the result of a fall in a manway between the 400 and 500 levels of the company's mine at Oat- man. His nearest surviving relative was his mother, living in Oregon, and George was appointed administrator of the estate of the dead mans>and brought suit under the workmens S compensation act of this state, asking for verdict for $4c,000.
 In it's answer the defendant denied that the administrator was the proper person to sue. It questioned also the validity of the compensation act as contrary to the fourteenth amend ment.

construction of the San Carlos storage reservoir. But even under the diver sion project, the development of 17,000 alres near Florence and 10000 acres near Casa Grande is going to result in both of these communities. Both towns are now entering upon a building boom ard are developing rapidly.
 Vast Benefits to Phoenix
 Should the San Carlos oam be se- cured, a vast increase, running into many millions. will be added to the taxable wealth of the state. The wholesale business to Phoenix whole salers alone would mean millions of dollars yearly, while the towns of Florence and Casa Grande would be- come cities of from eight to ten thous- and population each, in addition to a large rural population throughout the valley.
 The Silt Problem Settled
 The silt problem at San Carlos dam site, which has been mentioned. IS nothing like as serious a proposition as those who have been opposed to the project have tried to make out. The real silt stream of the Gila river sys- tenn is the San Pedro river, which emp ties into the Gila at Winkleman, 35 miles below the dam site, and, hence, does not effect the San Carlos reser- voir site at all. The San Pedro river runs through a territory composed mainly of a light volcanic ashy soil and in times of high flood is heavily surcharged with salt, sometimes the 1 percentage being so great that the water is virtually fluid mud. The only silt producing areas above the San l Carlos reservoir site are to be found l in such valleys that drain into the Gila
 as the Solomonville valley, the Duncan
 valley and the immediate territory
 around the San Carlos basin. The
 drainage areas beyond those produce | an insignificant percentage of silt, as | the drainage is out of mountainous
 country, fairly well timbered, and the | percentage of silt is at minimum. l Regardless of the silt problem at Sar il Carlos, present plans indicate that 2 I high dam, reaching perhaps to 270 ol Il 300 feet in height, would provide sucf l a tremendous storage basin as to obli- terate or postpone the silt problem fol \ at least a century. Whenever the bed of the reservoir becomes so deep 1T \ silt that the storage capacity sufficien to care for the acreage in cultivation is
 impaired, sluicing would be a rather
 simple matter, as the bed of the reSer-
 voir would then be so high above tn, bed of the stream below the dam tha the silt problem is disposed of and tht life of the dam made perpetual.

SEASON FUR MOURNING DOVES OPENS SEPT. 1

Game Warden Prochaska warns hunters to disregard the dates of the open season for mourning doves, since it does not jibe with the federal law for the protection of migratory birds. The state law permits the killing of doves on August 15, but the open sea- son under the federal law does not begin until September 1. When the open season under the federal law be- gins later or ends earlier than the season under State laws, the federal season must be observed.

Dr. Alexander M. Tuthill. better known to thousands of Arizonans as Brigadier General Tuthill, returned to Phoenix yesterday.
 General Tuthill stated his business in the city is to make arrangements for the opening of his office here about the first of September. Mrs. Tuthill and daughters will arrive in Phoenix about that time. Before entering the service in 1916 General Tuthill was one of the best known surgeons in the country.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble IS SO common 10 the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gsts wlo are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these conditions.
The mild and healing influence of DR..
Kilmer's swamp Root is soon realized.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS--
WHAT 1T REALLY, MEANS
BY JOSIAH +. REED.

The United States went into this
war at a critical moment. Without
our help the issue would have been
doubtful. We saved the day. But
our participation in the war was from
the first based on desire for justice.
We wanted justice done to Belgium,
France and Serbia. And we wanted
to make the world safe for democ-
racy: 1.-The reign of law. based upon
the consent of the governed and sus-
tanned by the organized opinion of
mankind" Justice done at the peace
conference and definite arrangements
for justice among the nations for the
future--if we do not attain these OBJ
iects, we shall have fought in VAIN
England has achieved the downfall Of
Germany; France has won back AL
SAGE Lorraine, and Italy, the Italia
Irredenta. They are demanding in
IDENTITIES and trying to add to their
colonial possessions, The United
States has no such ambitions. We are
prepared to support those of our al

ask their support for League of
Nations--rlot a mere alliance, real
league based on justice. Are we like

At first blush it seems as though
it were a little unreasonable for us
to tnSls' on anything at the peace
conference. After all. we went into
the war rather late, and made a lot
of money before we went in. Our

Russia would be entitled to first say.
If the other nations have suffered,
Russia has been ruined. As it is, she
will have no say at all Influence at
the peace conference will be based on
economic power as much as anything.
If they tell us that they suffered
more, we can retort that they couldn't
have won the war without US. We
can add that while they are seeking
immediate economic gains, we are
asking for nothing especial for our
selves. But the reason why the retort
will have a kick in it Is because we
have actually got the power and they
know it

TEACH AMERICANISM.

Now is the time of all times for us
to teach Americanism in our schools.
The singing of patriotic songs, the
recitation of patriotic speeches and
poems, are all splendid in their way,
But they are not enough.
Our young people learn largely by
example. and in American history we
have many great characters worthy of
study by both teacher and pupil.
Time enough has passed to rid us of
the partisan prejudices which regard
Hamilton as an aristocrat or Jeffer-
son as demagogue. Franklin as a
freethinker or Paine as an infidel.
What has been preserved of those
American founders has not been their
faults and fantasies, but their truths
and virtues.
Our national government is neither
Hamltonian nor Jeffersonian, but a
compromise and reconciliation of the
two schools. Jcffersons views were
too extreme as Hamilton's We're too
TEN of our republic is fIamitonian,
as its inspiration and direction are
Jeffersonian.
We need instruction in our schools
thorough and sympathetic, concerning
Americas foundation and formation
so that every child of America. come
TO manhood and womanhood. will
know the organism of the United
States and the spirit by which it is
energized,
Such popular knowledge and appre-
citation will acquaint us with the
worth of our own inheritance and
will help us to correct faults and
avoid trouble. Given generation OF
real instruction in the principles OF
the republic, and there will no longer
be danger of the desiccation of ouf
nationalism. Study the writings OF
Hamilton, Madison, jefferson, and
Washington's Farewell Address to the
American people, and they will afford
our people a pillar of cloud by day
ard of fire by night by which to di-
rect their steps.
Moreover, the subject of study is
intrinsically worth the pains. Polit-
icaiiy, the United States leads the
world. In America has been produced

of republican government and the
