Prospecting for Bed Rock
Once. r'
- - M "
From the Phoenix RepubHean.1
Mr. Arthur P. Davis, hydrograpUer
of the United States geological survey,
arrived here yesterday morniag on
the train from the tiorth and Is reg;
istered at the Hotel Adams. His com
ing has been so frequently refnrred to
oi late that it is unnecessary to go in
to details as to his mission, which is to
inaugurate the work of exploring for
bed rock on the various dam sites in
the valley and the compilation of other
data relating to the water supply.
lie said last evening that be expeetid
to leave this -morning for the Verde
with Mr. Hamilton, who came !u.re a
day or two ago from Log Angeles. Mr.
lleisler, who arrived two or three weeks
ago, has made the necessary arrange
ments for the initial camps and no
time will be lost in getting the work
started. Other members of the corps
are expected daily.
The Brst work contemplated is the
thorough and exhaustive exploration
of the Verde basin, including the lower
dam site just above the Arizona canal
head and the possible sites above. The
matter of water supply will be care
fully considered and all details-in con
nection with a storage enterprise. The
machinery shipped from San Carlos is
here and more is ea route from Los
Angeles.
Mr. Davis will only be here a week
this time, as it is urgent that after that
he spend a month in Washington com
pleting his report on the isthmian
canal enterprises and in consultation
with the canal commissioners, lie
will return here in February or March
to view the work accomplished and to
further direct it. It is quite possible
that before his labors here are com
pleted he will examine also the Hudson
and Tonto reservoir sites, though at
present the work will be entirely
within the Verde basin.
Mr. Davis is a great friend of Ari
zona and has given much time ana
study to the irrigation possibilities of
this region. He is in reality a pioneer
Arizonan, as his first independent
work in the line of bis profession was
performed iu northern and eastern
Arizona seventeen years ago. Ue talks
very entertainingly of the Nicaragua
and Panama canal routes and of life
in the tropics. Ue has prepared an ar
ticle for tho January. Forum on the
canal question, which will no donbt be
of great interest to all Americans.
The climate of the tropics, he says, is
not particularly disagreeable except in
the swampy country, and many placeB
it is exceedingly healthful for those
who take care of themselves and let
liquor alone. He did not have a single
sick day during the two years he spent
there on his two visits. Speaking of
the building of the canals, be says,
there are many Americans who hava
beeD there from, twenty to fifty years
waiting for the big enterprise to ma
terialize and expecting to make their
fortunes when the work was finally
begun in earnest. The Nicaragua
route, though the most expensive, he
says, is for many reasons the prefer
able one for the United States to take
hold of.

From the Kansas City Sta&l,
A Kansas City girl who put a "matri
monial" advertisement in a recent
number of the Star is probably still
gasping for breath over the following
letter which reached her a few days
ago.
"Liberal, Kan., Nov. 29. My Dear
Young Woman : I had just fininehed
rounding up the market reports iathe
Star to-day when I caught your brand
in the personal column and as I'm
just about the swiftest thing that
comes down the pike, I made up my
mind right away that you're just the
maverick that l want to get my rope
on so if you want to be queen of my
heart and 18C0 head of the best white-
face cattle in this neck of the woods,
just send the old man a line,. and well
be running our herd on the same range
quicker'n a bucking horse can pitoh a
cowboy into the middle of next week.
"Before you put your Big. onto that
letter you're a-going to write me, just
tell me all about yourself whether
you are a full blue-blooded or just a
common dogie, and if you ride a leap
ing horn saddle, or have you got onto
that new-fangled way some of the city
girls have of riding clotbespio fashion.
I wunldn't object, exactly, if you do
ride that-a-way, but if youd fust as
soon not, I'll get the best buckskm
sidesaddle in tbe market, with lots of
gingerbred on the tapideros and Bilver
jinglcbobB all over it.
"If you want to know anything
about me, justwrite to Kilgore & Bays,
.Liberal, and if they don't tell you I'm
a straight fellow and have the best
ranch in the Panhandle, and can ride
the meanest bronco and rope more
steers than any galoot on the range,
I'll eat my sombrero, audit's a hand
made Mexican one, that weighs eight
pounds and cost $14.
"Hope you. won't get on the prod at
this letter, for 1 never was. much at
slinging words and always fonght shy
of the girl& and as I never wrote a
love .tter in my life and never sign
anything but checks, you'll have to
counter-brand anything yott do not
like in this letter. I'm a-trois' to send
my face along with, this, so you can
see what kind of a looker 1 am, and
hope it'll suit you. Return t!e. comp.,
can't you?
"Well, I'll have to pope off or some
galoot will be shooting holes in me for
running on bis range. Hope to get
that letter by next mail. Yours, if
you'll have me. ...

letter showed a. handsome young man
in buck-skin trousers, high-heeled
boots, wide-brimmed' hat and long

Regarding Office Holders.
The Globe-Democrat's. Washington
careespondent has the following to say
about the office holders of Uncle Sam:
When the president formally in
vited bis cabinet to remain with him
another term, he meant something
more. Officeholders, great and small.
whp are giving satisfaction in the dis
charge of their duties, are practically
included ia the invitation to stav
There are to. be no removals except,
for good cauee. The only changes
and- appointments which will occur
will be those due to vacancies on ac
count of deaths or woluntary resigna
tions. Authority for this statement
comes from, the White House. The
President's policy regarding patronage
was announced explicitly and definite
ly in response to an inquiry made re
specting it. Efficient officials holding
commissions for stated teems will be
re-appointed. Those who. are serving
without fixed- tenure will continue
without interruption by the transition
of the administration1 from first to
second term. This statement applies
not alone- to government officials in
Washington. It will be the policy to
continue postmasters, collectors, dis
trict attorneys, judges, marshals and
other federal officers through the next
term."'
nothing bnt a double track goes with
bim hereafter. We hope he will have
a happy run and a steady job the rest
of his days, that he will neve.- tank up
or get oft of the track of domestic
rectitude. That he will eventually
learn to push a wicker-work cab on a
set of pony trucks, and when Gabriel
gives him the final signal to pull out
may he quit a dead engine for a flying
machine."

The West is a unit in desiring the
reclamation of its arid lands. Appro
priations for this purpose are demanded
not only by reason of the obligation of
the Nation to improve its property, but
as an offset to the great sums con
tributed by the arid interior for the
improvement of the rivers and harbors
of the rest of the country. 'The work
of the National Irrigation Association

them to the importance of . opening
