The foregoing kilograms, received
as chairman of the San Carlos associ-
alton, tell the story of official authori-
zation of the diversion project, the
notice coming on the very last day
upon which the declaration would he
effective.
The contracts with the government
call for construction to begin on the
dam and canal works within one year
after May l, 1920, but it is expected
that work VIII start as soon as ar
rangements can be made to get the
same under way. 1t is known that the
dam has been designed and that all
the engineering that can be done in
advance of construction has already
been done. So far as the Indian SER
vice is concerned, it is ready to begin
construction
Should the government desire to let
the dam by contract, some delay may
be experienced in advertising for bids,
etc. No delay will be occasioned by
reason of transportation of materials
The Arizona Eastern railroad line is
within about sixty feet of the north
end of the dam and hence temporary
sidetrack will permit the unloading of
material right on the ground where
needed.
The plans of the dam call for the
headgates all to be placed on the
south side of the river. The north
side canal, which will be small, will
be cared for by a three-foot bore right
through the core of the dam, the last
diversion gate Of the ten or a dozen
at the head of the big canal will he
so arranged as to divert all of it's
water into the bore for the northside
lands. In this manner the current will
always be kept on the south side, the
sluice gates being also on the south
side.
The main canal will have capacity
of 1000 second-feet, and will be so
constructed that it may easily be
widened and its capacity increased
so as to take care of the distribution
of the water when the San Carlos
storage dam is built.
At Last Minute
At the last minute the good news
came. Late last Friday afternoon, as
, forecasted in the wire of Dwight B.

the day before, kilograms came from

Milling Plant Arrives
Work of installing the modern mill

under way. Several carloads of the

various units are now being hauled to

ors are already on the ground, and
installation is going forward as rap

A Single Rule for Success

much has been written on success;
but find that there is one simple un-
failing rule for it. Read the advice of
the great and successful men, every
where, and you will not go far before
you find this admonition: Save money!
1t runs through and is at the bottom
of all that is recorded about success.
As a matter of fact it is the one rule
necessary to success, for following il
brings all the other requirements. The
man who saves will soon become in
dustrious, intelligent, alert-even if
he was not so at first. So, re-
member that the one single and fun

to clinch as facts the rumors of a
negro" conspiracy.
In fact, Mary averred that the whole
thing had been arranged at the house
Of Hughson. The plot, she said, was
to destroy all white persons, except
a few who were in league with the
conspirators. Hughson was to be king
and Caesar, a colored man, was to be
governor. She added day by day to
her story, duplicating more people.
Arthur Price, servant, held on a
larceny charge, also gave testimony
which seemed to corroborate the Bur
ton woman, as did Peggy Salinburgh,
a courtesan. The tales told by these
reformers increased in 1uridity, until
the town and the magistrates were
wrought up by them. -,
Mary Burton had at first said that
Hughson, his wife and Peggy were
the only white persons at the meet
ings of the conspirators, but she added

being a nonjuring clergyman of the
Church of England, was suspected OF

ABOLISH SEGREGATION
THE: SLOGAN OF THE NATIONAL
EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE.
Meeting at Baltimore, Md, October
2O-21-22.

Fellow Leaguers:-
me as president of the league, here
in issue this call for the 18th Annual
Meeting OF the Equal Rights League
OF the United States of America. The
said meeting will be held in the city
OF Baltimore, Maryland, October 20,
q and q, 1920, at the Trinity Bap-
fist Church, Rev. J. R. L. Diggs,
Pastor
The Board meeting, Saturday, Oct.
23, preaching on Democracy in Amer
lea, in local churches Sunday, Oct. "a.
The paramount issue will be the ma
tionalizing of the rights of social
democracy. Our Convention Slogan
is: Abolish Federal Race Segregation
and Remove the Segregation Party
From Power. We call upon every
Branch of the League to assemble for
the renewal of the organization, to
send delegates; upon every member,
wherever there is no branch of the
League to form one for that purpose,
and that every League member in
each community take the initiative in
organizing our people, men and wom-
en-, to elect and send delegates to
Baltimore.
Over the top we must go! Come
and get the spirit of real social
democracy; come, let US reason to-
gether and get mutual and spiritual
understanding of our unstable social
condition in this political and socio-
logical unrest. Out of an understand
ing will come the unanimous commit
tai Of economical justice; and in such
efficient justice lives that social JUS
tice which is the supreme and essen
tlal element in all and to all human
happiness. Your Christian civiliza-
ton edmands your higher stand, in
the ter-civilization among races and
nations.
There is no retreat nor reaction;
but a forward movement is the in
evitable slogan of this Twentieth
Century. This crisis, this moral re-
adjustment of things decent. The
National Equal Rights League calls
the serious attention of the colored
man in America to the inglorious
fact, that we are not represented in
this representative government at
Washington. We must reconstruct
our racial conceptive consciousness
anu our faclal program, II we wish
to survive this onslaught of pluto
cratic, undemocratic ,autocratic, i'm
perialistic and unpolitical regime.
Yours for the abolition of Federal
segregation by the election of 1920,
