what Western Canada could do He

there who had done well. He toured
the provinces Of Manitoba. Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. He saw the vast
prairies, yielding their twenty and
twenty-five, and as high as forty BUSH
els of wheat, with enormous yields OF
other grains. The north central coun-
try, which afforded The grass and the
shelter that made stock-raising val
liable adjunct to the growing of grain,
was visited, interviews were had with
the settlers, many from his own home
district, and all were satisfied.
Only the other day he arranged for

Benson Canal Com
pany Building Dam
Increased Water Supply VIII Be
Made Available Thereby

The Benson Canal Company has
let the contract for a wing dam
across the San Pedro river at the
intake of the canal about three
miles above town. The work is to
be done by the Topeka Bridge and
Iron Co., of Topeka, Kan. Their
representative, Mr.. Williams, who
had charge of construction of>the
highway bridge across the river at
this place last year, arrived in town
last week from near Clifton, where
he had been looking after the con-
struction of bridge on the Clifton
and Solomonville highway.
A lot of machinery and material
shipped from there has been un-
loaded here and is being hauled to
the location of the work, where ac-
tive operations are to begin at
once.
The dam is to be of steel and
concrete, and is intended, as might
be supposed, to furnish larger
and steadier supply of water to the
canal for the use of the farmers
under ditch. +"
Failure to secure sufficient sup
ply of water to irrigate crops, be-
sides being the cause of much
wasted effort and financial loss, is
often the cause of disputes and
MISUNDERSTANDING among water
users. Where there is a plentiful
supply available for all, this condi
ton is remedled, thereby giving
the farmer a chance to realize all
the benefits from the labor he puts
forth.
The Benson Canal, a home COM
pany, presents a good illustration
of what water will do when applied
to so-called desert land. Before
the canal was constructed seven or
eight years ago, the land was con-
sidered practically worthless forf
farming purposes: now some tracts,
with improvements are held as high
as 5000 an acre.

zona. thinks the Tombstone Pros
pector. If the commentators Of
the official party are to be taken as
an indication there is no doubt they
will decide for this route, which is
open for travel 365 days in the
year. Earnest comments and com
pliments on the hrst-class highway
found III Cochise county, were
heard from the party, and one of
them even went SO far as to say he
was inclined to be little preju-
diced in favor Of the Borderland
already.
Of course the official route will
finally be accepted solely on its
merits, but if the warm and hearty
receptions received in each city and.
towu along the route as far as the
party has travelled count for any
thing, we believe a good impress
ion has been left. It is good that
the route be selected on its merits,
which assures the selection of the
Borderland. The decision of the
official party will be forthcoming,
it is said, within the next sixty
days.

S. P. Special Train
and Band Coming
VIII! Stop in Benson Tuesday in
Aid of the Victory Loan.

Agent J. T. Mahoney has re-
ceived notification of the coming of
a Southern Pacific special train,
which is expected to arrive in Ben
son Tuesday about 4:3o, III the in
terest of the Victory Loan,
The company band Of Tucson of
twenty pieces, composed of en-
ployes of the road, accompanies
the train and will play at the sta
ton or on the street during the
stop here. The people of Benson
and the country around are invited
and expected to come out and meet
with the railroad people who are
working to help put the Victory
Loan over.
1t IS probable that a Benson
speaker may be found to welcome
the visitors and extend the hand

mon cause The train comes here
from Wilcox, having made stops
at the principal towns all along the
line.
Subscriptions to the Victory
Lean here, as far as can be learn
ed, have not been large up to the
present, and it is to be hoped that
this train will infuse more life
into the movement. Benson has
responded to every call in the past
and even with a late start can yet
make a respectable showing in this
last Victory Loan drive.

SENATOR MNAFRY MADE ABLE ARGUMENT FOR LEAGUE
0FMTDN, OPPOSES AVENDAT0RY CHANGES IN COVENANT

Justice Brown. speaking for tn
Supreme Court In the Diamond Ring
v. The United States (183 U. s., 1879
says:
Obviously the treaty must contain
the whole contract between the par
ties. and the power of the Senate Il
limited to a ratification OF such term
as have already been agreed upon be
tween the President, acting for tn,
United States, and the commissioners
of the other contracting power. The
Senate has no right to ratify the
treaty and Introduce now terms into
It which shall be obligatory upon the
other power. although 1t may refuse
its ratification or make such ratifica-
! ton conditional upon the adoption OF
amendments to the treaty
However, the Senate could without
postponing the day of the ratification
Of the treaty or requiring its resub-
mission to the other nations by a
| Resolution place its Interpretation as
to the meaning of articles In the lea
que susceptible to one or more mean
ings. For example, article 81. which
reads:
Nothing I'm this covenant shall be
deemed to affect the validity of inter-
national engagements. such as trea.
ties OF arbitration or regional under
standings like the Monroe doctrine,
for securing the maintenance OF
peace.

display OF learning that the Monroe
doctrine Is in no sense a regional

fully protected. Many others who
have studied the covenant hold that
this traditional policy is fully protect.
ed, consequently without altering the
terms of peace and with evident pro-
priety., the Senate could attach to the
treaty a resolution stating its under
standing of the article by again de-
filming and declaring the doctrine of
Monroe. Resolutions of this kind
which in their purpose are not sup
posed to amend or alter, but only to
interpret. the treaty do not operate to
enact change in the terms as to re-
quire ratification by other nations If

amendments and reservations. without
proper regard for the results that will
flow from such a course. an amend

The king gave today in the first
interview he has granted in tho
United States. some of the impress

came to the United States. He
said the day he landed that one OF
the purposes of his coming here
was to obtain ideas and lessons
applicable to Belgium. Something
was said of American troops and
his majesty, himself a soldier of
brilliant attainments, Immediately
became enthusiastic.
Armies Wonderful.
Your armies were wonderful, /"
he said. Even your own people
did not think, did they, that you
could send over 100000 men a
year? And such fine soldiers they
were. They seemed to be- born
fighting men. l don't know how to
say it in English, but there seems
to be something in your soil which
grows such men. They went 5000
miles to fight for an ideal and

sister, Edna Marjorie, two years
her junior, had a fighting chance

by their mother, Mrs. Roy Lui-

POLICY PLAN
Order Issued to Keep Big
Questions Out of No
vember Elections.

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 10.-A tenn
porary injunction restraining Louis
L. Emmerson, secretary of state.
from submitting to the voters at
the election of constitutional con-
ventions delegates, Nov. 4, ques-
tions of public poHcy-the initia-
tive and referendum, gateway
amendment" and the public own
ership of public utilities-was is
sued in the Sangamon county cir
cult court by Master-in-Chancery
Briggle here today.
The order of the master-in- chan
Gerry was entered on petition of Ed
ward W. Payne of Springfield, IN
the absence of circuit court Judge.
Not "PubIiG Policy Issues
Mr. Payne contended that the
three questions against which the
writ is directed are not issues of
public policy" and that there is
no warrant or authority under the
laws of Illinois for the submission
of these questions to the voters"
Secretary of State Emmerson
was ready today to certify the three
questions to county clerks, this
having been held up pending a deci-
sion of Attorney General Brundage
as to whether women would be
permitted to vote on them. Mr.
Brundage had ruled during the
morning that women might vote on
the questions.
Advocates Ask Early Hearing.
Advocates of the public policy
questions began at once to urge an
early hearing on the merits of the
temporary injunction and Master
in-Chancery Briggle said time
would be set for hearing arguments
without delay.
The Gateway amendment"
would remove obstacles which
make amendment of the present
constitution almost an tmpossl-
biIity.
The decision that voters might
register on the three questions
would not be binding on conVen-
ton delegates. but only suggestive
of public sentiment.
