over every other producing center in Arizona. The
Gillespie Dam and canal system, all complete, Will
bring 100000 acres under cultivation This irriga-
ton project is second only in magnitude to that OF
the Salt River Valley.
The ella River Valley will be irrigated with the
water from the Gila River through the Gillespie Dam,
the construction of which represents the expenditure
of vast sum of money time, labor and materials.
The main canal is 40 miles long and its construc-
ton required some of the most expert engineering IN
the country. From this canal throughout the ent!re
project ADEQUATE lateral canals are being built with
cement headgates in all of them.

The ella River, from which the Gillespie Dam di-
vers its whole body of water is the natural topo-
graphical drain for an area of such vast proportions
that its capacity is obvious to anyone who has the
slightest knowledge of engineering The Gillespie
Dam is SO constructed across the ella River, with its
concrete foundation down to solid bedrock that not
only is the surface water controlled and diverted to
its canals but all of its underground water is likewise
made available and utilized. This dam is 1900 feet
long, and with its shoulders locked in the mountains
on both sides there is no opportunity or outlet for the
water to go anywhere except to the canals provided
by this project.

The ella River Valley project embraces gently
soping area along the banks Of the ella River pre-
senting an ideal topography for irrigation farming
Near the center of the project is the town OF Gla
Bend on the main line of the Southern Pacific rail
road which traverses half the length of the project
Gila Bend is division point and the junction OF
standard gauge line which runs southwark to the I'M
portant copper mining camp of Ajo. The company
has completed surveys for an extension into Mexico
which will place Gila Bend 1873 miles by rail from
deep water port on the Gulf of California. This
close connection with the markets of the world will
give the Gila Valley project commercial advantage

TEN WAYS TO KILL AN ASSOCIA
TlON.

l. Don't come to the meetings.
.. But if you do come, come late.
3. If the weather doesn't suit you,
don't think of coming.
/. If you don't attend meeting,
find fault with the work of the Off
GERS and other members.
.. Never accept an office, as it is
easier to criticize than to do things.
g. Nevertheless, get sore if you are
not appointed on Il committee, but if
YOU are, do not attend the committee
meetings.
I. IL asked by the chairman to
give your opinion regarding some i'm
portant matter, tell him you have
nothing to say. After the meeting tell
everyone how things ought to be done.
s. Do nothing more than is abso-
lutely necessary, but when other mem
bers roll up their sleeves and willing
ly, unselfishly use their ability to help
matters along. howl that the associa-
ton is run by a clique.
O. Hold back you dues as long as
possible, or don't pay at all.
10. Don't bother about getting new
members. LET George do it,"

, the largest class that it had been his
honor to confirm since he had ascend

inspiration to the occasion by rendition
of high class anthems and hymns. The

RUSSIANS EAT CHILDREN
American Officer Tells Tales of Can
niballsm La Starving Land.

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Reports that
starving Russians have been eating
their own children are not exsgger-
ated. according to Capt. T. Dunnet, OF
the steamer Orient, which has arrived
in Los Angeles after completing a
voyage to the Russian provinces on
the Black Sea with wheat for the
Russian relief.
According to Captain Dunnet, who
saw service as a British officer during
the war, there seems TO be little hope
for the Russian peasant being other
than hungry and starving under the
present regime. From what he
learned while ashore. the captain said
the workers would not produce any
thing because it would be taken from
them by government emissaries.
The producers have nothing left for
their efforts and have grown hopeless
and respondent, the captain said.
Having nothing else to eat, he said.
they are eating their own children
