that the lack OF southwestern port

Merton's testimony centered on his
meeting with John T. King, who was
indicted with Daugherty and Miller,
but died shortly after the indictment
was returned. Merton testified he met
King through a friend, with whom he
was transacting business not related
to the case. King, he said, introduced
him to Jesse Smith and Miller Merton
was asked what he wanted of King.

Cameron Sought Ports
In addition to clearing up the title
10 the waters of the Colorado and
obtaining the best irrigable lands,
Delegate Cameron also conceived the
idea Of amplifying the area deemed
requisite and thereby acquire series
of deep harbors on the Gulf of Cali
fornia. Any area so acquired from
Mexico would be divided by Cal1for-
MIA acquiring that portion west o.
the Colorado river and Arizona that
rortion lying to the east, thus al
fording tidewater facilities to south-
eastern California and to the state
of Arizona and allotting to each OF
the two states areas sufficient TO
permit each to irrigate within i1s
boundaries approximately 2,OOO'ooo
acres of the most fertile land in
the world. The whole of the 4,OOO,OOO
acres to be embraced within the
United States and, due to its unusual
and long-growing season.
vould ultimately care for at least
2, ,OOO, 900 of our citizens.

In order to convey an idea what
these 100000 acres Of tropical lands
within Arizona's boundary means, nj

at least 100000 citizens and haYe

idea of the magniture of the Cameron
plan when fully developed
Lower California in 1911
! Until 1911 there was not mile OF
essential railroad within this whole
Mexican area: ITS lands were not under
cultivation (surely not more than
$4,000 acres were being farmed); it
was very sparsely populated, prob
! ably not more than 5000 MeXicans
| lived within the area. The foregoing
shows that the area was virtuAlly
an undeveloped waste prior TO 1871
hence its acquisition would have been
a comparatively easy matter at that
time.
It was also stated in 1911 that the
flood waters of the Colorado were
clearly curs. When impounded they
would be conserved solely for our
use and benefit; hence Mexico could
never expect any permanent benefit
thereform. In consequence, the agri-
cultural lands within the Mexican
Colorado river delta area would be
forever comparatively valueless as
long as Mexico retained ownership.
It was further stated in 1911 that
domestic ownership of the flood waters
would permit them to be used domes-
tically, great portion thereof could
be used to irrigate the comparatively
higher lands within Arizona, even
though the cost to do it would seem
excessive. Nevertheless, maximum,
continuous efficiency demanded that
we obtain the Mexican area, if pos
siblc. so that the waters of the Coi-
nrado could be forever used on the
lowest altitude and lowest latitude
delta lands. These lands then as well
as now undeniably possess. the maxi
mum fertility, a maximum growing
season, and minimum cost irrigabie
factors.
Fabulous Earnings and Savings
Attention was also directed to the
crue to Arizona by having a tide
water port within her boundaries
as against the basing point of San
Pedro on the west and Galveston on
the east; to the industrial flow of
tonnages within the Colorado river
basin which would follow the line of
least resistance; namely, to the Gulf
Of California, then through the near
ly finished Panama Canal to various
ports of the world; and to the utiliza~
ton Of the cheap hydro-electric ener-.
gy of the Colorado river for the
conversion of raw materials into US
able products, thereby founding vast
manufacturing agencies within our
state. 1t was also pointed out that
G4 per cent of Mexicc's area and
SIS per cent of its population lay
nearer the Pacific than to the Az
lantic ocean; that the loci of these
S,259,494 Mexicans lay within mean
water haul of 500 miles and 200
mile rail haul from Arizona's future
port, or a total equivalent 3O0-mile
rail haul; that these millions of
Mexicans within easy reacn would
afford wide market for Arizona's
industrial products and form the

DISPATCH THURSDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER

this review is based on facts boldly
stated then and very well known to
the Arizonans of that period.
Land and Water
Cameron had ascertained prior tt
1911 that the average annual run Off
of the Colorado river was approx,-
mately 16,OO0,0OO acre-feet. If this
were impounded, it would Trrigate
about 100000 acres of lana. How
ever the reclamation survey in 1911
advised him that there was only
1900, 900 acres of land within Cali
fornia and Arizona that could be
easily irrigated by the waters OF
the Colorado river, hence the re-
naming 100000 acres must be SCI
cured from Mexico if all the waters
by our people. 1t was also stated
that if for any reason Delegate Cam
eron failed to secure these additional
/, ZOO, 600 acres of easily irrigable and
most prolific tropical lands in Mexi&
co, then it was planned to use the
excess waters on domestic lands ~
ing within the Gila river area upon
any Arizona lands lying below the
/ ,2OO-foot altitude plane.

Rose Carson. Once Queen of
Togus Strip" And Terror of
Jealous Officers Aim o s t
= Apathetic In Attitude At
Hearing AS to Her Sanity

A rather pathetic chapter in the hec-
tic and coiorful career of Rose Car
son Bowden, who in the haicyon days
was unfolded In Augusta municipal
court before a bare handful Of court
attendants and witnesses Tuesday
noon when, on the certificates of the
county examiner and two disinterested
physicians. this well known character
was adjudged mentally unbalanced and
was committed to the State Hospital
for the Criminal Insane.
Rose Carson. as she has been known
to q generation Of county officers, has
since February Of this year been con-
fined In the women's tier of cells at
the Kennebec county Jail. to which she
was sentenced at the January term of
superior court on q liquor law VIOLA
tion. The petition for her commit
ment as an insane convict was made
to the Augusta municipal court by
Sheriff Henry r. Cummings, and after
examination Of the woman County
Examiner Of Insane Persons DR.. Sam
ue1 H. Kagan Of this city and Drs.
George A. Coombs and r. H. Stubs
certified that in their opinion she was
insane and should be sent to the State
hospital for observation and treat
ment.
Addressing the court after the for.
malities Of the hearing had been com.
piled with yesterday noon. Rose Car
son insisted upon her sanity, but she
meekly relaxed into her chair when
Judge Cony indicated that the COM
mitment would be directed.
She was not the fiery and valiant
Rose Carson of other days-of many
previous appearances as respondent in
Of the spectacularity which has result
ed from her arraignment on q wide
diversity Of law heterogeneous extend
ing over the past quarter century and
longer. The woman delivered her OBJ
viously carefully prepared defense,
however. and her diction was studiedly
perfect, accompanied by the dramatic
gestures which have made her famous
in court circles.
II am not insane" she declared to
the court. "Your honorable sir. Mr..
Judge, am woman who never went
to school a day in my life. but / have
some Of my own writings In my bosom
which ! would show to you. can re-
peat the alphabet forward and back
ward"-and she started informing slow
ly. but without faltering, "Z-Y-X-W,"
and so on In groups of four or five let
tiers to "A" the first of the alphabet.
Rose Carson Bowden, as she inform
ed the court at the hearing yesterday
noon. is the last Of a family of 10 chill
dren. Her nearest living relative is
Uncle Jim Carson" now residing in
Massachusetts,. Proudly and just bit
defiantly she drew herself up as she
declared, THE light of insanity has
never run in the Carson family"
She has many times been tried for
violations Of the law. She has done

years ago she was sent to the State
