THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC A 31, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1005 MUNI FOR BROTHER BY ROBERT MULHATTON Inquiry Regarding the Eccentric Jot-cph MulbatUn. Robert Allen Mulhatton, a brother of the widely known Joe Mulhatton, who has dropped out of sight, arrived in the city yesterday in the course of an extended search for his brother and sis-tor, who is supposed to be with him. Mr. Mulhatton last heard from his brother two years ago. He was then living in Los Angeles.

Twenty-five years ago Joe Mulhatton was perhaps the most widely-known traveling salesman in the country. He represented Halt hardware, of Louisville. and traveled over the western part of the United States and Mexico. But all the tlma lie had a weakness for a peculiar kind of newspaper work, which made his name a familiar one in every large Holiday Goods A CURJO Big Slock io Select Frcm Great Variety of Novelties Beside Staple Articles newspaper office from New York to San Francisco. He became an imaginative writer, a nineteenth century Munchausen.

He would devise the wierdest sort of a story about a meteor or a cave or something else out of the ordinary and telegraph it to the leading newspapers of the country. Several expeditions were sent out by colleges to investigate wonderful aere-olltes which Joi Mulhatton had thrown down in some out of the way part of the country. Such an expedition came to Arizona about nine years ago to see a meteor which had fallen in Pinal county and lay buried for the greater part of its bulk after having killed a flock of sheep and several Mexican herders. The writer of this story distinctly remembers when a boy becoming Intensely interested in a newly-formed river in Iowa, described in the old Weekly Toledo Blade, the only article of current literature to which he had access on the farm. This river had its origin in a well which a farmer had dug.

The water came out with a rush, rapidly enlarging the sides of the well until the hole soon became as big as a barrel, then as big as a barn, and at Bourke's Wild West Pictures Th Son of the Cradle.

One or two a laxative, three or four cathartic Mi FrW the time the information reached the Blade it was still growing.

Much property had been de3troyed by the rush of waters and fear prevailed in the community. The writer waited Impatiently for the week to roll around, and on the Blade's day he made a special trip to the country postofflce to ascertain how long it would be in the opinion of the editor of the Blade before that Iowa river got as big as the Mississippi. There was not a word in the Blade on the subject, and the writer remembers that he wondered how such a thing could have been overlooked. In the course of his subsequent literary researches he never saw anything more relating to that river. But he aterwards heard of Mulhatton in various newspaper offices, had tho pleasure of reading several of his productions and finally met the, author himself.

Joe Mulhatton came to the territory about ten years ago in the company of his sister and several members of the Kentucky legislature, who were interested in mining properties in Pinal county. One of these legislators, by the way, was the man who prevented the annulment of the charter of the Southern Pacific company of Kentucky and the company was duly grateful. After that, Joe Mulhatton spent several years in thiR territory, most of the time being engaged in mining operations. In 1900 he became Insane and was sent to the territorial insane asylum, where he remained nearly a year. He after that went to Los Angeles.

His brother some time ago heard that he was dead, but he has been unable to verify It. The information came from the master of a Masonic lodge at Louisville, of which Mulhatton was a member. Since his arrival the Lrother has heard tiiat Joe Mulhatton was committed to the insane asylum at San Francisco. It is possible that some of the residents of Pinal county in the vicinity of the Bay niin or Kelvin may know something of the whereabouts of this brill'ant but erratic genius. Joe Mulhatton used to say Hint his imaginary stories were not intended to do any harm, but, on the contrary, they were meant to make people who knew nothing about the facts In the case feel better.

There is no doubt that that was the intention of Mulhatton, for there was never a kinder hearted man nor a more honest one in his business dealings. But it may be doubted If those college expeditions ever felt any better after a rush across the continent to scientifically Investigate a meteor wnich was stiif soaring around somewhere in space. UNCLE SAM WORKS MAGIC. Clarence J. Blanchard Tells Irrigation Tales.

Clarence J. Blanchard of the Unite 1 States reclamation service arrived in Minneapolis today after a summer spent in the west looking after federal irrigation interests. "A remarkable transformation is taking place in many of the most for- I bidding sections of our inland desert empire," said Mr. Blanchard. "Oases are springing up like magic in many places which for ages have been the abode of the coyote and the jackrabbit.

A year ago last spring I slept out under the sagebrush on the Minidoka lands in the Snake river valley, Idaho, and the nearest dwelling was thirty miles away. "Last week I visited the same spot, traveling across that, thirty miles In a first class passenger train, passing through three new towns. On every c-lghty acres of the 100,000 acres in that tract of government land there i3 a new farm house, a farmer and his family. Uncle Sam is preparing to bring to him, through many miles of canais and ditches the precious water which Is to make the desert blossom as the ro3e. A mammoth rock-fill dam across the Snake river is almost finished and by early spring the sagebrush will have vanished from this spot forever.

"Early next April Uncle Sam will' try his hand at auctioneering and to the highest bidder will dispose of some very choice lots, business and resi-! dence, on three new townsites under this project. In anticipation of this sale more than eighty business firms have put up temporary structures and are doing business there. The indications are that there will be a city of not less than 5,000 inhabitants under this project. By the line the vaUr is ready for the land there will be a farm population of nearly ten thousand located on these lands, "An effort will be made this winter to seenr the npeasnrv rnnpTaGulnnil action to permit the government to use the proceedn of these sales for the construction of sewer and water works systems, and other municipal improvements for the new towns, the money to be repaid in the same manner that tho settler repays the cost of the Irrigation works- This Is not a new departure for the government, as the reclamation service engineers under the direction of the peeretary of the interior for some time have been expending several hundred thousand dollars in building bridges, water works, sewerage systems, school houses, in Oklahoma, the money having been obtained from the sale of town lots. "I note with some satisfaction that twin city contractors are bidding on some of our big contracts and are getting a piece of the work here and there.

Bids ore being received from all over the United States. One of the recent successful bidders on a contract In Arizona was from Jew York. "My summer in the west has afforded me most convincing evidence that an era of wonderful progre33, greater than ever known before is soon to dawn on the northwest country. There seems to be little doubt that the twin cities are to have another transcontinental route. They are soon to be connected with the rich mineral zone of the Black Hills and the naw irrigation district in the valley of the Belle Fcurche in South Dakota.

The coming year is going to be a banner one for the laboring man in the west. The building of new railroads and the extension of old. the construction of great irrigation work 3 by the government and by private capital and the establishment of many new towns will surely create a heavy demand for labor of all kinds.

who come out to meet the call from tile west will never return. It has been the history of many of the government projects that the laborers In large numbers settle on the lands and remain there to become agriculturists. Last year the demand for labor exceeded the supply and contractors and farmers are alike worried over the outlook for the future. "The twin cities are located most advantageously to receive substantial benefits from several of the proj3cts now rapidly nearing completion. I am informed that by the time the farmers on the Belle Fourche project are ready to market their first irrigated crop, the Milwaukee will have extended Its line from Chamberlain to the valley, thus making these cities the best market for the South Dakota farmers.

The on tain projects on the Xorthern Pa-cafic and Great Xorthern, are well along and will soon be transforming vast areas of desert into productive farms, supporting a large population and furnishing a new market for our wholesalers.
