STATE WATER COMMISSIONER GIVES VIEWS ON DAM


 Expressing his inability to be ir Tombstone on June sth. when the hearing on the petition for the crea- ton of the San Pedro Irrigation Dis trict will come up before the board of supervisors, w. S. Norviel. state water commissioner has written letter 10 Joseph Hansen. assistant county attorney and attorney for the irrigation district association. giving his views as far as he can at the present time as to what course must be pursued before the rights of the district to appropriate the waters of The San Pedro can be determined.
 There is much work to do before matters can be definitely settled. but this work is in progress. according to the Water Commissioner. Follow. ing is his letter:
 Dear Sir:
 beg to acknowledge receipt O. your favor of the 27th instant rela- tive 10 the Charleston Dam projec..
 IL will be practically impossible for me 10 come to Tombstone by the sth of June. And. too, could be of little service, fear. to you at this time regarding the matter of the for nation of the irrigation district
 have no data in my office as yet on either the Charleston project or he San Carlos project, and it seems almost impossible to get anything definite. l am, however. proceeding to gather the necessary data on the Gila and its tributaries for the pur- pose of determining all the rights. but il is long. tedious job. l have two crews now surveying on the Gils, one now being in the Safford Valley and the other working up the San Pedro from Winkleman. but the work is necessarily somewhat slow because it must be accurate. and there is world Of work ahead. An opinion expressed by me now might be embarrassing when possessed of all the fasts for a determination.
 Regarding the formation of the District, feel that is a matter the attorney for the district should look after. or the County Attorney This office. as you are aware. is a new one. No irrigation district has been formed in the state. so far as am aware, since I took office last July, and as it might be up to me to pass on the application for a reservoir an1 to approve the plans of the dam and the irrigation system when the pro- per time comes. They must be ad- vised by their attorney at every step in order that nothing may be omit ted for bond buyers scan critically the whole record and unless every thing is properly and legally done that should be done the bonds will not be sold.
 l expect 10 be in Tombstone for . day or two perhaps the fore part of July, 1 cannot say yet. and I will De glad to talk the matter over with you d, that time.
 Very truly yours.

 OF WATER PROJECT

PHOENIX, May 31-Construc,ion of the Horeshoe and Camp Verde res ervoi-s. to be built by the Paradise Valley Irrigation district, under au thorizatio of the secretary of the in terior, together with the diversion dam, transmission canal, power plants and distributing system, will cost slS.Ooo.OOO. according to eng;. neers' estimates, former Gov. Rich ard F.. Cloan, said today on his re- turn from Washington. Judge Sloaa q attended the hearing of representa-. tives of the Salt River Water Users association and of the Paradise dis trict before Secretary Payne. last week.
 Because the agreement reached at Washington must be approved by the Salt River Valley Water Users as- sociation, and also because of the f. pancial magniture of the projecr, Judge Sloan said he believed actual construction work would not begin for some months.
 The former governor said he con sidered a new era of water develop ,ment had been entered into as a re- suit of the ruling by Secretary Payne and that this development would not cease until all possible sources of supply have been utilized.

Charging that they believed VIII.

WORK PROGRESSING ON
NEW .ARCO-HOWE HIGHWAY

l
ARCO.-Work on the Arco-Howe
highway is progressing rapidly. Con-
siderable of the grading has been
sub-let to local people and many men
and teams are being employed. En-
gineer Churchill who is in charge of
the supervision for the state says
that the grading will be completed
this fall and that the gravel surfac-
ing will not be put on until next
spring.
Mr.. Churchill says many people
have in the past travelled the new
road and he says that the highway
department and the contractors are
of the opinion that no travel should
be permitted on the highway until it
is completed and he has asked us to
call the attention of the travelling
public to this. Detours have, been
selected that are in good passible con-
dition and those who have occasion
to travel to the Little Lost country
are asked to keep off the new high
way.-Arco Advertiser.

Forney's Candidacy For
Justice of the SUI
preme Court

With the unanimous endorsement
OF the Press of his home county of
Latham, which. with single excep-
ton, is Republican and with the un.
qualified endorsement of Hon. Edgar
c. Steele, Judge Of the Second Judi
cial District who is Republican, ].
H. Forney Of Moscow, comes to the
voters Of Idaho as the Democratic
Candidate for Justice of the Supreme
Court.
Judge Forney's Democratic candi-
dacy with these Republican endorse
ments indicate how deep rooted in
the public mind is the conviction that
our courts are not political institu-
lions; that our judges should not be
elected under circumstances that will
tend to make them take a partisan
view of litigation or litigants; and
that no man measures up to our
standards for Justice of the Supreme
Court unless we know that in all ju-
dicial matters he is not partisan.
That the spirit of the Judiciary
is fairly free from partisan basis is
we'll established by the endorsement
Judge Edgar G. Steele gives Judge
Forney. Judge Steele is Republican
but he is first Judge and as Judge
he knows that the test of a mans
fitness to be Justice of the Supreme
Court is his ability, honesty, integ-
rity, training and education rather
than his politics. And as Forney, the
Democrat has the proper qualifica-,
lions, Steele, the Republican, en-
dorses him for the office.
So with the Press, generally
speaking, Politics is not the standard
by which the Press measures our can
didates for Justice of the Supreme
Court and hence politics is not the
qualification which determines whom
the Press will support.
This attitude is typically American.
The average American is fair and
therefore he applies fair tests to those
seeking his suffrage and this is what
has made us the greatest nation on
earth.
Judge Forney is one of our pion-
eers-the first president of our Uni
yersity, man who has discharged
other public trusts faithfully and
we'll, thirty-five years one of our first
citizens and capable, honest lawyers
to be creditable Justice of
our Supreme Court-and that is the |
test which Republicans, Democrats
and fair men of other political faiths
apply in democratic, free America

MADRID LAUNDRYWOMEN
CONSIDERED WORLDS BEST

MADRID.-The laundrywomen OF
Madrid are probably the finest OF
their profession in the world. No
where else does the linen come
home SO delightfully."- clean and 1t
Is all accomplished with, cold water.
Within sight of the windows of
King Alfonso's palace any day Of
the week, including Sundays, may
be seen acre after acre Of snow
white linen spread out to dry along
the banks of the Manzanares. In
the turbulent waters of this creek,
for 1t is nothing more in spite of
its sonorous name, virtually all the
washing for the million or so in
habitants Of Madrid is done.
A closer corporation than that OF
the Madrid washerwomen can scar
cely be conceived. Some of those
working here have been in the pro-
fession over forty years, not always
as pastmistresses, for they have to
serve an apprenticeship lasting
many years before they are per-.
mitted to undertake work on their
own account. A woeful reception
meets any newcomer coming with
bundle of linen to wash. All kinds
of insults are hurled at her by the
regulars; her linen disappears as
If by magic and is found again only
after long search. Any man not an
ordinary dirty linen porter is in
even worse case. He is splashed
with suds and is lucky if he es-
capes with his clothing intact.
The experienced laundrywomen
assert no woman learns how to
wash until she has passed forty
years of age. Till then she must
work as understudy to the others,
earning only the small pittance of
one peseta daily while doing so.
When she sets up for herself she
at once takes apprentices and rap
idly amasses modest fortune. 1t
seems, however, they never retire
to enjoy their riches, for the call
Of the tub is too strong for them
ever to desert the Manzanares until
he final call comes.
