final SETTLE
MENT OF
PROJECT

Robert Denton, director and at
torney of the San Carlos Irrigation
project, wired information this
week that a bill releasing the San
Carlos project of all obligations for
the $1,700 900 expended by the
Indian service on construction and
irrigation projects on the Sacaton
Indian reservation, has been receiv-
ed by local officials of the project.
This action comes contrary to
recent Associated Press reports to
the effect that this cost would have
to be carried by the San Carlos
project. Contradiction of the ear
lier adverse report comes as most
welcome news to the farmrs of
this district, who will now, under
the modified project costs be able
to make loans on thir land through
the Federal Land Bank of Berkley,
California
The board of directors of the
San Carlos project have been re-
quested to meet Denton and En-
gineer Southworth with Federal
officials in Phoenix for the purpose
of settling technicalities of the pro-
posed contract between federal and
local officals-Casa Grande Dis

MEXICAN PAT
ENTS SYNTHE-
Tic RUBBER

Mexico City-A Mexican, Julio
Teller Gir0n, who resides in San
Francisco Calf. says he has sue
ceeded in developing a substitute
for rubber
For many years Senor Giron has
aimed at this goal. Firstly he resort
ed, like Edison. to plant of various
kinds, paying particular attention
/ TO those of the resiniferOus family.
/ Somehow he had the thought that
! by experimenting with resins uf
oily substances rubber could event
ually be produced. From the vege-
table kingdom, however he passed
to the realm of minerals, and there
is said to have found what he
sought-a substitute for rubber.
His formula, as registered with
the department of industrial pIo-
perty of the ministry of industry
and commerce, details a process
for the manufacture of a rubber
substitute through the combination
of demineralized and revitalized
oils.
According to a description made
by the inventor in his formal ap-
plication for a patent, the process
is as follows:
Transparent mineral oils, of an
adequate density, after being de-
mineralized and revitalized, are
mixed in adequate proportions of
sulphur or chloride of sulphur and
oxide of magnesia. The proportions
varying according to the degree of
hardness wished for the rubber
substitute. If sulphur is used the
mixture must be heated for a long
time during the mixing process.
If sulphur chloride is employed
mixing will require only a few
bines with oil very quickly, with
out needing external heat for its
reaction.
after the mixing process is over
the product is heated, pressed and
nodded in order to give it any de-
sired shape"
Commercial manufacture of the
rubber substitute inventd by Senor
Giron has not yet begun in Mexico.
Thus it is not possible to indicate,
for the present, whether this new
product is destined to revolutionize
the rubber industry or to become
just another interesting achieve
ment-without practical value.
Senor Giron, according to his le-
gal representative here, has. gone
to the United States to buy ma
chinery with which to equip a fac
tory in this capital. Manufacture
of the rubber substitute, it is said
will probably begin early in 1881.

FOG KILLS V|LLACER

Terror seized the inhabitants of
the Meuse valley in Belgium during
heavy fog which caused many
persons to die of a choking sick
ness. Nearly 20 persons, most OF
them elderly, died before the fog
lifted. Many at first supposed that
the deaths were caused by the re-
lease of poisonous gas, while others
thought the fog carried some dis
ease like the black death which
killed millions during the Middle
Ages. Queen Elizabeth of the Bel
gians Immediately proceeded to the
stricken region to direct Red Cross
work and to console the bereaved.
The villagers said that they felt
strange tickling sensation in the
throat the moment they entered
the fog. An official investigation

was made by the Belgian health
commission and it was found that
there was no great mystery about
the fog. The deaths it reported
resulted from weakened respira-
tory systems. Most Of the victims
were past so and heart ailments
and bronchial trouble. The cold
smoke-laden fog simply choBed
them to death.

full in the production of asparagus
since last year. Tests conducted by
F. w. Williams on the new acreage
show it to be ideally suited to the
raising of the crop, it was said
in addition to being suitable for
modified truck gardening.
The district in which the new
farm is to be established is fed by
water pumps operating with COM
paratiyely shallow lift.
The acreage near Eloy is under

World Pays Tribute at
Shrine of Bobby Burns

Many places have been made" by
the genius of a great writer. Scott
has done more for the tourist agen-
cies and the railways of England
than any of his cOuntrymen, be-
cause his range was so wide. He
discovered the Trossachs and Loeb
Katrine, and even made the Peak
of Derbyshire world famous. But
there are no more hallowed spots
than those which dot the Burns
country.
The country town of Ayr lies i'll
the center of a fine sandy coast,
with wonderful sea view across the
great firth. There is no house in
the kingdom, no palace or castle or
great mansion, that has half the at
traction for the world as the little
thatched biggin at AIloway where
Robert Burns was born. In its
visitors book are inscribed the
names of men and women famous
in literature, art and statecraft,
the names of peers and peasants
and of kings, all come to worship
at the shrine of genius.
Close by is the Auld Brig O Doom,
leaping in a single gray and grace
full span the little stream whose
name has gone round the world.
Close by, too, is the haunted kirk,
where Tam O. Shanter saw witches
and warlocks holding revelry in its
churchyard. In the town itself can
still be seen the Auld Brig Of Ayr,
the theme of one of his finest
poems, whilst the river Ayr is for
ever associated with the ode.

TO SETTLE
DISPUTE ON
CHA RIVER

After various meetings in the de-
partment of the Interior between
officials of the governmnt, repre-
sentatives of the Indians and of the
upper Gila river irrigation districts,
tentative plan has been worked
out that will avoid the necessity of
further litigation and will result in
the preserving of the equities of the
upper water users and at the same
time those of the Pima Indians,
according to .nforma ion received
here by government officials.
The tentative plan wOrkd out in
the conference with the secretary
of interior provides for the pro-
lection of water-users in the SAT-
ford and other irrigation districts
in Arizona and New Mexico above
the San Carlos dam who had placed
under irrigation and cultivation
their lands before the date OF the
San Carlos act of 1924.
1t was also agreed upon that if at
some future time stOrag on the
upper ella river should become
feasible for the benefit of the lands
in that district, no objection would
be made by the departmnt provid-
ed the utilization of the water
should not interfere with the pres
ent proposd arrangement or with
the rights of the San Carlos project

Consideration was taken at the
conference of the hearing being
conductd by Capt Edward A Smith,
special United States attorney, 10

cation rights of Indians residing on
the SaCatOn Indian reservation. I'm
til these and other legal difficulties
are settled on definite plan will be
made although the basis for the
tentative plan will be taken from
the results of the recent meetings
in Washington, d. c., it was said.
The information received here
from the secretary of the interior
briefly explains this plan. It says
in part:
"The tentative plan is to prepare
and incorporat in a decree TO be
entered in the pending law suit,
provision to the effect that the
prior rights of the Pima Indians
and of white settlers under the San
Carlos project, shall attach to and
be first satisfied out of the flood
waters stored in the resrvoir that
unless and until the storage is pro-
vided on the upper river, the Irri-
cation districts around Stafford
shall be entitled to continue the
diversion and use of waters from
the flow Of the Gila river to the
extent that such use was being en-
joyed in 1924 when The San Carlos
dam was authorized by congress,
or such other date as may be
agreed upon; all of this to subject
however, to the condition that if
in any year there is not sufficient
water in the Coolidge reservoir to
satisfy the priorities of the Indian
and white lands having priorIties
in the San Carlos project, the prio-
rites of the Indians and whites
lands shall be entitled to be salts
fled out Of the narual flow of the
Gila river"
