WEEKLY JOT WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1913. Arizona State News. PHOENIX. Will Use Pumped Water. Satisfied, now, apparently with government pumped water for their lands, the Indians of the Gila River reservations have requested the re clamation service through Mr. Thackeray, agent at Sacaton, to complete immediately the project which was left unfinished last spring. Director Newell of the United States reclamation service left yesterday for Sacaton to look over the ground, taking with him Engineer R. E. Pcabody of the Salt River valley force, who will examine the work and report an estimate on the completion of the project. The work now done includes seven pumps, finished, a well, canal and some laterals extending from the canal to the land lines of the In dians. The fact the Indians are asking for the pump project does not ne cessarily mean they have given up hope of getting the San Carlos dam and reservoir. They still hope for that with a tenacious hope; but they also see the necessity of finish ing the wells and canal lines so the floods of the river can be supple mented by clear water. The objec tion to the pumped water on the ground it contains salt in sufficient quantity to destroy the crops seems to have been forgotten, though there was a strong fight made before the congressional investigation commit tee on that matter last spring. Was He Drunk? Reading the report of Dr. A. C Kingsley, superintendent of the state asylum for the insane, and issued by the board of control as its De cember bulletin, Carlos Romero was arrested last evening suspected of being drunk. Careful investigation of the prisoner when he reached the jail, failed to reveal the oder of red wine on his breath and while the charge was not lifted, there is a sus picion that some other influence than whisky may have turned his head. Romero was seated upon the San ta Fe tracks, when the policeman who later arrested him hove in sight. The officer paused and over heard words that sounded some thing like this: "It is the general belief that insanity, the most fear ful affliction that besets humanity, is a hopeless condition and one in which prevention is of no value." The English of Romero was not good but the policeman understood and started in amazement. When he revived from the first shock the apparently intoxicated man was re' ding something which sounded like "and many a person would be restored to health without having been committed to an asy lum." There was a shudder notice able spreading over Romero's frame as he quoted "From 30 to 35 per cent of insanity is directly or in directly caused by alcohol or drugs." Then he turned a page and found .where it says "Hard work never caused a nervous breakdown, crily when one undertakes work that is beyond his mental or physical ca pacity is serious harm done." And when he came to the line "Worry is quite an important- factor of some forms of insanity," he fell in a heap muttering "That I should worry nd get wrinkles?" and then the patrol wagon rounded the corner and the man and the report were bundled off to the police station. Cattlemen Want More Laws. The cattlemen of Arizona are go ing to lake a determined effort dur ing the sessions of the next legisla ture to have a number of matters of importance to the cattle business 'attended to, and a number of reme dial laws passed. These matters are now in the hands of the legislative committee of the Arizona Cattle Growers association and will be drafted into such shape as will per mit them to be submitted to the legislature at least for discussion if not for actual passage. Many of them will also be submitted to Gov ernor Hunt so that he may embody them into his call as subjects for the especial attention of the legislators. DOUGLAS. Big Cattle Deals. William Riggs, member of the board of supervisors, and a large cattle dealer of the Sulphur Springs valley, is here today closing a big cattle deal which will involve the sale of about 6,000 head of cattle. Mr. Riggs stated that owing to the high price of cattle the ranchers would not place their stock on the market, therefore there was a great shortage and this was the largest sale, if it went through, for this year in the Sulphur Springs Valley. Cattleman From Texas. R . Morris, a prominent cattle man from Amarillo, Tex., accom panied by his wife, is here looking over the cattle market and making purchases for his ranches in Texas. Mr. Morris says that the cattle market is higher now than it ever has been in the last 20 years, and that there is very little stock on the market in this vicinity. He has several big deals on here which he expects to close in a few days, but refuses at the present time to give any of the details. He expects to be here for about a week before he returns home. Poor Marksman. Tuck Potter, a Sulphur Springs rancher, arrived in the city yester day morning and told of a narrow escape from death which he had un dergone but a few days previous. According to Potter, he was driv ing a team to Jim Hunt's ranch where he had some business to transact. On reaching a thicket near the place, he heard a rifle shot and a bullet whiz just over his head. This was followed by two more' in rapid succession and turning about he saw a Mexican with a rifle point ed at him just in the act of shoot ing once more. At this point Potter alleges, his horses ran away with him and two more bullets whizzed by his head. TUCSON. Town is Growing. The total value of buildings in Tucson, whose erection was begun in the year just closed, amounted to $207,753, according to the re cords of permits. This was $41,621 more than in 1911. If the $65,000 passenger station of the El Paso & Southwestern railroad, which is projected, but for which a permit has not been taken, out, is added, the total is $272,753, or $106,621 more than the preceding year. The permits issued during Decem ber totalled $19,545. This included the $13,000 shops of the Southern Pacific Mrs. J. K. Shahan took out a permit for a $3500 residence on south Fourth avenue and S. H. Brewster a permit for a $2000 resi dence on Sixth avenue. Will Build Fine Homes. One of the largest land deals re cently made ' in farm lands in the immediate vicinity of Tucson has just been closed through the pur chase of 500 acres of the Knapp and Benedict ranches, located on the Oracle road, 3J4 miles north of the city, by Nathan Kendall and William A. Talcott, son of Wait Talcott of Rockford, 111. These purchasers expect to im prove the tract and to erect two of the finest homes in this section of the country. The entire tract will be put under cultivation and irriga tion. Road Fund Shrinking. Scarcely more than $10,000 will be available from the state fund for the construction of highways in Pima count', according to the latest advices received by J. W. Estill, member of the board of sup ervisors. It was supposed last sum mer that $17,000 would be the share of Pima county. Woodpile Pays. It is estimated that the city saved between $200 and $300 by substitut ing a "city wood pile for the chain gang, according to City Recorder Sowan. The bill Jot the wood that has kept violators of city ordinances busy for several months came yes terday and it was -only $15. The recorder estimated that to have bought wood and Tiircd laborers to cut it up would have cost between $200 and $300. "It has not on! been economy for the city," said the recorder, "but it has furnished splendid exercise for the prisoners and I believe that the man who has wielded an axe on a knotted, section of mes quite will think twice before he commits an act that will send him back to the wood pile.'' The city has a large supply of wood, enough to last all the winter and when it is split finely it makes splendid fuel, though a free Ameri can would not cut the wood for what it is worth. Chance remarks dropped by prisoners indicate that tramps as far cast as Chicago and as far west as San Francisco know of the municipal wood pile, per haps by letter or word of mouth from those who have served time here cutting wood.
