CARLOS VS TONTO BASIN In Maricopa county those Interested in securing a better water supply for the Salt river valley have abandoned the plan of bonding the county for the purpose of building the Tonto Basin storage reservoir and will now make an effort to convince the government that the first money spent under the new irrigation law should be applied to the construction of the great dam at Tonto It Is given out that the secretary of the interior favors San Carlos as a more desirable place to begin the work of building storage reservoirs for the reclamtlon of Arizona lands Efforts have been made for four years to secure the appropriation of money for the construction of this work A dam here would supply water for the irrigation of the lands owned by the Pima Indians on the Sacaton reservation which has become non productive in recent years for the want of water There is no doubt but what both the Tonto Basin and the San Carlos irrigation propositions are feasible and if a reservoir was constructed at either the result would be the reclamation of a large body of arid land and the creation of new homes where now is only desolate and barren waste It is true that the perslsten efforts of the people of Florence and the influences they have eulibted in the east to induce the government to build the San Carlos dam has had a much to do with bringing about tbt present national irrigation law if no more than any other agency in itt favor The San Carlos dam has been carefully surveyed by the government engineers and pronounced to be an ideal location for the conservation of water it has been approved by the secretary of the interior who recommended that It be be built in his last annual report President Roosevelt in his message also recommended the San Carlos dam proposition as worth of the favor of congress The San Carlos dam it is estimated will cost In the neighborhood of one millionilollars while the Tonto Basil dam has we believe been estimated to cost twice that sum or more Under these conditions It is not likely that the Salt river valley people will be able to conivnee the govern zment that it is advisable -abandon the San Carlos proposition The cost of the San Carlos work ii in its favor The first work under the national irigation law will be an experiment and it Is not probable that the secretary will feel like spending two million dollars on a dam at Ton to Basin when half that amount spent at San Carlos will be as demonstrative of the feasibility of the great Irigation work in which the government proposes to engage There will be a great rivalry be tween storage reservoir sites in every state Included in the national Irrl gation bill Localities will fight har for their favorite sites just as localities fight for all manner of public lm provements when they are proposed The people will strive for individua benefit and there will be scramble for this irrigation money just as there Is a scramble for all public money when it is placed within roach ot the public The Tonto Basin reservoir would ac compllsh much for Salt river valley the San Carlos reservoir would accom pllsh much for the Gila valley at Florence and below and for forty mile south of Florence including the beau tlful agricultural district about Casa Grande We believe that the Sai Carlos dam will be adhered to by the secretary of the interior as the first to be built in Arizona but the people Phoenix may be depended on to make a stubborn fight for the Tonto Basin site the people of Florence -will have something on band until the natter la settled Is IMMORALITY OP -DRAW POKER The recent declaration of Pier pont Morgan that the game ordrav GOOD BUSINESS SHOWING BISBEE DAILY REVIEW WEDNESDAY MORNING JULY 23 poker is immoral and

against the excessive assessment of stock horses upon the range Under the ruling of the territorial board of equalization the assessment ot stock horses was set at 10 per head Proof was presented that sales of horses of that description had been made at the rate of 250 per head and the claim was made that an assessment exceeding that price is excessive In coures of his argument In the matter Mr Atkinson stated that a proposition had been under consldera it would be the duty of the county board to go before the territorial board with 1 nWttaet liiat ao to vn va I i ilJ uU ucuV iu Owners In

NEWSPAPERS eh In his recent speech before the Na tional Education society Archbishop Ireland paid the following tribute to the honest newspaper If I were to chosse where outside the class room for the general wel fare ot humanity 1 should have devotion to truth prevail I should name the newspaper The newspaper is Jo day pre minently the mentor of the people It is read by all It is be Heved by nearly all Its influence is paramount Its responsibilities are tremendous Its province is to nar rate facts to give the truth nothing but the truth to allow both parties to a controversy to be heard never to palliate or distort never to omit when that omitted may be of relevancy in the formation of pubHc opinion never to publish the doubtless as certain the mere gossip as well ascer tained news never above all else tc and false put before readers error hood Journalism that is honest and honorable Is one or the nations most precious inheritances that whicl places notoriety and pelf above truth and virtue and adopts as Its tactics the stunning sensation rather than thf calm statements of facts Is one the nations direst calamities Numerous in America is the journalism which Is honest and honorable here and there is found that which worships above all else notoriety and pelf There is here a duty of conscience and of patriotism for Americans May they ever be mindful of that duty effect when considered In connectio with the danger of a shut down It is to be hoped that everything will come through all right at Globe and at an early date we may hear ot a resumption of work by the Black Warrior Gold Hill and other enterplrses now in suspense Alter considering the uronositlon home time tne county board denied the protest and the matter stands The stockmen will probably go to the courts It has been currently reported that the owners of the celebrated warm springs which are locatd sixteen miles from Tucson are about to erect a sanitarium and otherwise Improve their property In that vicinity They are negotiating with local and eastern people with a view to forming a stock company for the purpose of creating a health resort at the springs Among other things a trolley line will be constructed to this city for the benefit of tourists Besides the sanitarium five acre lots will be laid out tion by the various stock raisers to and regular villas formed It is to relieve the range from a large surplu be hoped that the plans will be car of horses by rounding up all the she ried out Citizen stock culling out twenty per cent of the best mares and killing all the rest
