Feasibility of Project Shown Beyond Doubt Consruc- tion Recommended by Army Engineers Report Says SiltProbem is Not Serious as Streams Having Con- pleted Project Now

the center of the valley, and the Ar- zona Eastern Railroad skirts it on the north. Thus, this great body of land is very favorably located to transport ation facilities.
 Gel The government of the United State, under Indian Appropriation Act of August 24th, 1912, appointed "a board of engineer officers of the Unit ed States army to make full examina- ton and report on the San Carlos irri- gation project. After many months of labor in the examination this board made written report of the whole mat ter in all of its phases. The report is on file at Washington; and in 1914 this report was published under authority of the government. These engineers sdVised the construction of a great storage dam at San Carlos, finding it practicable in all particulars. Borings and plans for the dam were made by the engineers. The mount of silt in the waters of the Gila river at and above the damsite was determined, and the silt was pronounced no obstacle to the usefulness of the dam. he whole valley was surveyed, showing the levels and elevations of the land at all points, and maps were made showing these levels and elevations. These maps are on file at Washington.
 A few excerpts from the report are given below, followed by the page number of each excerpt.
 The board recommends that the San Carlos irrigation project, as described in this report, be carried out by the United States" page 65, subdivision 217.
 Ass compared with the Rio Grande, Hondo, Colorado and Little Colorado rivers the Giia contains much less silt. As this the report says at page 129:
 The suspended matter in parts of 100000 by weight is as follows:

At the time when the people of the United States and the government are considering plans for the betterment Of our Returning soldiers, sailors and nlarines,s and weighing means for furn- shing Present employment for them, it is of the highest importance that every effort be made in aid of the cause by suggesting facts in furtherance of the general plans of the government. and Particularly at this time to bring ost as eIearly as possible all facts that may sid~in giving to our soldier boys Present Assistance and not the promise of future help.
 10 the end, then, of furnishing some dSfa which may be useful in the prem isesi the following is submitted.
 4sl The Gila River annually carries tos the sea more than ONE MILLION ACRE FEET OF WATER. 1t is pro- posed to conserve this water and so furaistt irrigation to vast tract of arid lahd in the Florence Casa Grande Nasisy,zas well as to supply the valley and the cities of Southern Arizona with electric power in great abundance.
 tbl More than one hundred and fifty thousand acres of arid land, whose soil is of the richest kind, can be re- claimed and make to yield large and Varied harvests.
 tc] The above estimate of acres which are capable of irrigation by a storage dam constructed at San Carlos is based on calculations of engineers calling sfor a certain height of dam. By raising slightly the height of the dam more than two hundred and fifty thousand acres can be reclaimed.
 (d) Florence Casa Grande valley, near the head of which the storaqe dam is proposed to be constructed, contains about 100000 acres of level land, with a slight slope to the north and west. The main line of the South ern Pacific Railroad extends through

SCIENTISTS IN A UNION

Gondon Correspondence in the Weekly
 Manchester Guardian.)
 A significant sign of the time is the spread of the trade union movement to the middle classes. The doctors are talking of becoming a trade union. The National Union of Scientific Workers while not yet registered as a trade union, has decided to become one as soon as practicable
 This socity. was established about two years ago. Its members are drawn from government workers, par ticularly in the board of agriculture and the royal aircraft establishment municipal workers and scientists in pri- vate employ The qualification is. roughly, that the members must have had a university education or have sat isfied the council that his or her scien- tific attainments are as good as those with university qualifications. The so- ciety was represented at the confer ference on the application of the Whit ley report to government industrial es- tablishments. It was grouped in the miscellaneous" section, which includ- ed, clerks, the army clothing depart ment, and the general workers, union. It claims proper representation on the Whitley council.
 It is likely that it's next step will be a federation with other workers of the same class, such as the chemists and technical engineers.

 Maybe it used to be that "the good die young" but it doesn't LOOK as though they're doing it now.
 Take, for instance, the Rev. Albert vogel of Jeanette, Pa.
 He's 102 years old.
 He never smoked or chewed tobacco or drank intoxicating liquor. Never l quarrelled or fought with another man. Always trying to do good, and to persuade others to behave them selves.
 The Rev. MT. vogel is the oldest active minister of the gospel in the United States.
 Hard work, lots of walking. and an occasional trip, is his formula for long and happy life.
 And this reminds us that the Rev. Dr. Ardon E. Ballard is president of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting As- sociation, New York, and is s5 years old.
 T never would have lived to this age" Dr. Ballard said, Eff I had re- tired at SO and commenced twirling my thumbs in idleness."
 So it seems the good don't die young-if they keep busy. England just can't get over the war habit. Now they're pulling off pull pit conflict on the smoke question. There are three distinct battle fronts;
 CD Shall preachers smoke?
 @ Shall they smoke in public?
 (3) Shall they smoke pipes or cigarets?
 The Rev. F. c. Spur, Regents Park Methodist Church. confessed he smoked pipe in his study. but didn't think 1t wise for minister to smoke in public.
 Tt all depends on what you smoke, :" said another preacher. T smoke q cigar to the glory of God"
 T smoked cigarets.'' conferred the Rev. F. B. Meyer, "that was in Turkey, where it would have been an act of great discourtesy not to smoke with your host. l don't object to smoking if by so doing a minister can ges nearer to mans soul"
 Tom" said friend, T hear Mrs Duff is talking about going to Europe this fall"
 "so.e replied Tom. "well. it doesn't cost any more to talk about going to Europe than to Clay Centers. And that's where we're going" Why not have nice. little street parade just before services? l The Rev. R. J. Bennett, Morgan town, ". Va, has hired a brass bani to play in his church before and after the sermon. This, he believes. will attract the male element of Morgan town. having noticed that men and boys are always in the front line ranks at circus parades

 Below the San Carlos damsite, the amount of silt is larger, the San Pedro river which joins the Gla below the dam carrying at times of flood large quantities of silt. But, as water does not flow up hill, the San Carlos dam IS not affected by the silt in the San Pedro river.
 See pages 132 and 133 of the report.
 Aside from discussions, more or less theoretical, the history of the district fer the last 20 years shows that for the most part wheVer abundant irri- oating water is available large and profitable crops may be grown in Casa Grande valley.
 See page 50 of the report.
 In general, the soils of Casa Grande valley are exceedingly well graded naturally, entailing minimum expense it leveling for irrigation. They range in physical character from graveIly loans at higher elevations, to some what heavy clays at the valley bot tens. In a general way, it may be stated that the physical disposition and character of the soils of Casa Grande valley resemble those of Salt river valley.
 See page 50 of the report
 @ The following crops have prov ed successful in Florence Casa Grande valley:
 Alfalfa, soudan grass long and short staple cotton, wheat, barley, oats, corn, beans, milo maize, sugar beets, sor- ghum, lima beans, sweet potatoes, veg estabIes, olives, quinces, dates, al monds, eantaioupes and melons of all kinds. The raising of hogs, beef cat tle, horses, mules and poultry, is prac- ticed in the valley with great success. iEdeed, anything which a successful farm can grow or raise in any state in the United States can be grown or raised in Casa Grande valley.
 Recently grapes for early market have proved remunerative in the high est degree. Alfalfa yields annually eight to twelve tons per acre. Can more be said for the fecundity of the soil?
 From the above it is manifest that the government of the United States ought at once to construct the San Carlos dam. Our returning soldiers and sailors can thus be provided with present employment in the construe- ton of the dam and the necessary irrigation ditches. 1t will not be nec- essary to waste time in preliminary work and surveys. All this has all ready been done. The opinion of the experts appointed by the government is unanimous that the project is nec- essary and practicable. Homes in the valley can be made for thousands of our returning soldiers and sailors,- and great valley can be made pro- ductive where waste and desolation row exist.

ZIMMERMAN OF
 GIANTS BREAKS
 TRAINING RULES

Chicago. Sept 12-Heinle Zimmer- man Giant third baseman. was sus- pended indefinitely by John NcGrayr. manager of the Giants, here last night and Was ordered home. AIcGraY- charges Zimmerman with persistentlv violating the rules of the club. Ho says that the Bronxonian has made no attempt to keep in shape so that he might give tho club the best that is in him
 Zimm erman's failure to return to the hotel last night, or rather early this morning, until an hour when
 lcGraw would like to have his ath- letes in bed was the direct reason for Zimmerman suspension. Heinie had been out with Chicago friends and ''overstayed his leave"
 Zimmerman boarded an early train for New York, and it is unlikely that he again will play with the Giants this sesson. as New York has only few more games Jeff to play at home FTisch was shifted over to third today, Doyle returning to second base.
 This is the first serious run in that McGraw has had with Zimmerman since Helnie became a member of the club in nlidseasou of 1916
 The Giants also announced today the purchase of VirEIe Barnes, a brother of Jesse Barnes, the New York pitching star The younger Barnes has been purchased from the Sioux City club of the Western League, where VirEIe has met with considerable success He will report to the Giants in St Louis

as often as ever Buck Freeman did. For in Freemau's day the scores were not nearly so close, there was gener- ally a fine run margiu one way or the other and tho pitcher always used to take a chance and make Freeman hit.
 But this has not been the case with Babe Ruth. In nearly every game this season where the score has been close Ruth has been purposely pass ed. Why in a certain same at St. Louis during the Red Sox visit there I had to order my pitchers to walk him four times in succession.
 If Ruth were hitting on those old time ball parks he would pretty near y disrupt the game. They would have to limit the drives over the right field wall to two base hits. Why, on those old south End grounds where Freeman used to hit Babe ought to bc good for about two of those Ing distance walIors day. No man in my recollection or in the recollec- ton of arE other ball player living, cau imagine @ slugsG- who can hit the ball even nearly IS hard as Ruth. IIc is a. verita5le wonder.
 q hope he keeps on breaking his own record I am going to have my pitchers give him a chance. Norh- ing soft. you know. for any man Egn" breaks a record ought to be made to do it. The feat ought to be a clean one My tWirlers will strike him out if they can. In fact every pitcher in the American league wants to be able 10 say that he famed Babe But he will get a chance to hit If he can drive the hall out of sight against the St. Louis pitchers well, good luck to him. But if Babe comes up in a pinch where one run Is likely to mean the game I won't take any chances. We will have to pass him then"
