ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

1t is a little early in the season
for such things, but Arizonans in
Washington have already had their
first Democratic rally for 1898.
Candidates soon will be barnstorm-
ing up and down the State. but
there will be no rallies quite like
this one.
There was none of the blue smoke
that hovers over political meetings
out home, but what it lacked in
the spice of conflict was more than
accounted for in the setting. The
hall was one of these old Wash
ington landmarks that have shelter
ed so many of the great and near
great. Their past is like a page
from a history book. This one was
the Russian Embassy back in the
days when a Car was thought to
have a pretty good job. That was
long time ago.
There was a colored door-keeper
there to let you in and another
darby offered to take your wraps.
This. mind you, was at a political
rally. OF course you were expect
ed to buy back your coat and hat,
but that is just part of everyday
life in Washington.
The officers of the Democratic
club of the District of Columbia,
Inc. furnished most ofthe oratory.
President Arthur (Turk) Way told
of the effect of current foreign
souabbles on our own affairs. Al
though his future may not lie in
the field of the news commenta-
tor. he can claim most OF the credit
for the existence of the club.
AS the Senators Ashurst and
Hayden seldom mingle with Ari-
zona's lesser mortals in Washing
ton. Representative Murdoch was
the only speaker who is sure to be
candidate in the coming cam
paign. His speech was not quite OF
the vote-for-me type, but all office
holders must forever keep the bal

Groundwater Yield

The safe yie.d of the ground
water supply in the Eloy pumping
district has been determined to be

it was announced today by DR.. G..
E. P. Smith. irrigation engineer of

safe yield" DR.. Smith said, 'is
the quantity that can be taken
from the ground annually without
further permanent lowering of the
water table knowledge of the safe
WELD limitations is of great value
to a community, because it makes
possible intelligent, united action
to protect the water supply from
serious overdraught."
DR.. Smith stated that the safe
yield of the Eloy district was OBJ
tanned by a new method; at least
he has never known of its use nor

lined the method briefly as follows:
THE pumped water is derived
partly from the inflow (rechargej
and partly from underground stor
age. The volume of ground unwat-
cred multiplied by the percentage
of yield (Which depends mainly on
porosity) plus the recharge, equals
the quantity pumped. Two of these
quantities are measurable over a
twelve-month's period from the be
ginning of one pumping season to
the beginning of the next season,
but there still remain two unknown
quantities in the equation. By OBJ
tanning the volume unwatered and
the quantity pumped for two success

comes known. The specific vie 4
sri obtained also, but it is not
of so great practical value as the
recharge.
Inasmuch as climatic conditions
were about normal in the Eloy area
and because quantities pumped dur
ing the years 1886 and 1887 were
widely different, a maximum of &C
curacy was possible. The conditions
this coming year may not be so
favorable.
1T is not to be presumed that
high precision is attained in ground
water measurements. The result
maybe as much as 10 per cent too
high or too low, but it is sufficient

During the past four years the
San Carlos project has pumped 800,
700 acre feet of water from 81 pro-
ject irrigation wells. Thirteen Of
these wells are located in the Flor
ence district on each side of ella
River; sixteen wells are located
east of Coolidge; six wells are To-
Gated west of Coolidge and one more
north of Coolidge at the diesel
standby plant; fourteen wells are
located in the Casa Grande district.
On the reservation, eight wells are
located in the Blackwater district
north of the ella River; five are
located along the new Southside
canal; eight are in the Casa Blan-
ca district; six are in the Sacaton
district and five are in the San Tan
District
Records are taken at the close OF
the pumping season, around Novem-
Der 1st or December LIST, and also
about March 1st of each year, to
find out the static elevation of un'
derground water at each well. This
record furnishes information of the
rise and fall of underground water
on the different parts of the San
Carlos project.
After four years of operation OF
these wells. the underground water
has receded 6 IL feet on an aver
age for the entire project area
from the elevation it was at when
the wells were drilled. In the Flor
ence district the drop has been )

water has dropped 4 IL feet. On
the reservation, in the Blackwater
district water has dropped SO feet;
along the Southside canal it has
dropped 12.1 feet; in Cas- Blanca
1.3 feet; in Sacaton district, A.
feet; and in the San Tan district il
has dropped 33 feet. During the
period between November l, 1887
and March /, 1888, the underground
water showed an average rise oil

The average depth of the under
ground water is asa feet below
the ground surface. The average
depth in the several districts Of the
project is as follows.

II Is return to the city caused q
~ panic among those who had
known him at the beginning of his
career. Sidney Martin had gone to
the Pacific coast 20 years before, an
adventurer amid the scenes of gold
in the virgin state and in its coined
glory. He had done business in
Oregon, principally, on the basis Of
theories learned at a New England
center. But theory and practical
worth were not the same, he had
discovered. He must needs gather
his dollars by sheer toll and careful
management. At last he had be-
come comfortably well off, ready to
take a glimpse at life in its more
leisurely channels.

find who ever knew him." declared
Mrs. Russell. The husband, col
lege chum Of the prodigal, assent
ed heartily. The two daughters
smiled, schoolgirl style. The novel
ty of it was thoroughly interesting.
But Miss Damie Russell, spinster,
who had been given refuge in her
nephew's home, gazed blankly at
nothing while the discussion pro-
crossed. Her namesake demanded
finally word of sanction.
"What conglomeration you will
bring into your parlor if you do
that! Widows, old maids like my
self-many of them more or less
failures. Ridiculousl"
"Auntie, you are horrid!" Mrs.
James Russell returned the jollity.
We'll try quiet dinner party
first; no doubt, Mr.. Martin would
prefer something purely umconven-
tional."

the house had gone for the day. She
closed the door, as if to tell the
congeniaI madam not to disturb her
just then. A huge black trunk was
unlocked-its musty treasures must
be reviewed once again. A glim-
mering white satin with an unfin-
ished bridal veil lay just beneath
the tray. She had not touched the
garment for years. Hitherto a
glance had been sufficient, with a
hasty use of her kerchief and re-
locking Of the time-worn trunk.
True to schedule, the absentee
made temperance. He called hur-
riedly, on the day Of his arrival in
the city. He tried to demonstrate, to
find Mrs. James Russell the more
determined to make the day of open
welcome busy one. He spent one
fitting hour in the coy parlor, with
Damie the elder smiling as serene
ly as might any other whom he
knew. He paused during the good
bys to send one keen, searching
glance into the depths of the blue
gray eyes. For the moment the
past doomed delectably before the
pair. Mrs. Russell broke in, viva
ciously.
"You shall have the pleasure of
greeting again a half-dozen more.
We've planned every detail, Damie
and I. Do forget business long
enough, please, to make yourself
agreeable?"
you'll Illustrate me-" he retort-
ed. "I've known little but the Of
fee for the past 20 years."
The party in the Russell parlor
proved a veritable reunion. The
atmosphere of the generation previ-
Gus came with the first guest. Miss
Damie's mischievous forecast held
true. Widows, some yet with dash
Of black; spinsters prim and for
bidding; matrons, too, who smiled
at the world from their environ
ments Of content; men of serious
mien, and few whom experience
had not yet sobered-an ready to
recall and to remind their mates of
the good times that used to be.
And then-one of the girls was
requested to preside at the piano.
A few dance numbers were in order,
to break up the stiffness that
seemed to creep in despite Mrs.
RussePs planning. Woe unto the
polished floors-a bit of actual re-
hearsal became necessary before
idea could be carried through.
Damie sought the nearest al
c..e to rest after the first heroic
effort.
She was followed Immediately, as
if the man had been awaiting the
opportunity. 1t was the honored
one of the hour-Sidney Martin.

HID BY MEANS,
OPINION HERE
Double Story Is
Doubted by Probers

CASTOR B. Means died sticking
to his story that the 100000 he
received from Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean to ransom the kidnapped
Lindbergh baby was taken from
him by a "double-crossing" con.
federate.
Despite Means fear of death
and he knew that death was near
when it became necessary to op.
erate-he was adamant in his in
siStence that he did not know
what became of the money.
SEVERAL VISITORS
It was revealed today that q
number Of persons visited him in
the prison hospital, begging him
to tell the truth, give UP the
money, and that then possibly he
might win leniency.
But Means insisted that he had
turned over the money to a man
along the highway near Alexan-
dria when he was given the sig
nal and password agreed upon
with the kidnaperS.
Frankly doubling the fantastic
story, to which he chung up to the
time of his death, investigators
here believe that he concealed the
money.
They point out that after re-
ceiving it, he visited at his home
in North Carolina, and spent sew
eral hundred dollars, making pay
ment in hundred-dollar bills.
SPENDS 500 BILLS
He also spent other bills of that
unusual denomination in Wash
ington-and much of the ransom
money was in 500 bills.
While it was rumored that for a
time the 100000 was placed on
sale in the underworld for $50, 900,
during the trial it was revealed
that the bills were not marked,
and the serial numbers were not
taken down.
On the witness stand, Mrs. Nc
