They Were Built Hundreds of Years Before Cabeza la Baca Came. [Special Carrespondence of THE CALL.] PH@ENIX, Arrz., Dec. 14.—Irrigation is new. Itis not an innovation. Cer- tainly it is not. either of these in Arizona, for from the appearance of the ruined casas and ditches built here centuries be- fore Cabeza la Baca, Espijo and Coronado ted this section from the Indians, zona, and especially the Salt River was inhabited by a people who 1l about it and who had lifted this tely essential branch of agriculture ol r this s perimental stage and brought it to its high- development.

The Rio Verde is another such concern, and is now building a system of reservoirs which will eventually comprise four stor- age basins, one diversion dam_and 140 miles of canal, thus making fertile 400,000 acres. This company is also hampered by want of capital. The canals already delivering water and | in'full working order are, as taken from a list compiled especially for THE CALL by Mr. Bruce Perley, secretary of the Phenix Chamber of Commerce, the Arizona canal, | with forty-seven miles of ditch, with a total capacity of 50,000 miners’ inches, de- livering water to 100,000 acres of land, only | 40,000 of which are under cultivation. The | total cost of construction was $1,000,000. Improvements costing many thousands more are contemplated. The Consolidated has forty miles of ditch, baving a total capacity of 50,000 miners’ inches, water- ing 100,000 acres of land, only 30,000 of which are under culti- vation. Large expenditures of recent date mske it impossible to calculate | the cost of construction. The Grand | canal has 27 miles of ditch, the Highland | 22, the Maricopa 26, the Salt River 19, the | Tempe 30, the Utah 20, and the Buckeye |is uncalculated, but these seven ditches | water 80,000 acres, all of which vast tract | is under cultivation. The Gila Bend or Peoria canal isa ditch in the southern portion of the Territory. It has the largest diversion dam in the country. This dam is 1948 feet in length | and lifts the water of the river fourteen feet, forming a lake one and a half miles wide and five miles long, delivering water through forty-one miles of ditch to about 60,000 acres of land. Unfortunately thedam needs repairing and the company is not | now delivering water because of vending | litigation. | C. E. Crowley of Los Angeles is largely interested in this ditch, and within the | last few days has been trying to interest a | | party of Neéw York, Philadelphia and Bos- | | ton capitalists.

Arizona may or may not_prove a garden spot. Her future as yet is enveloped in mystery. She may be a great mining State | when she becomes a State, or she may be one vast farm. Years ago, before the noss bilities of irrigation were known, the idea | of Arizona producing any considerable amount of agricultural products was an unsuggested thing by any but tke enthusi- | astic editor of the country weekly. The“ man from California’s “fertile valleys and gold-impregnated sands, or from | the Eastern fields of waving grain, passed through and went back and told stories about the rattlesnakes. the Gila monster, the bad men, and bones bleach- ingin the deserts, through which both the transcontinental railroads unfortunately | run. That there was some foundation for this is admitted. There were rattlesnakes, bad men, Gila | monsters and bones bleaching in the des- erts, but there were other things worth talking about then, and in the last few years those have grown, increased and multiplied until now the visitor is very apt to talk of | something else.

One of the notable improvements noticed all along the line is the marked tendency toward the building of reservoirs. This is following the example set by the irrigators of California, but following it after years had been wasted in experi- ment. The irrigators here could not or aid not learn from California’s eminently suc- cessful experiment that the only way to be sure ;)f ’larl permanent supply of water was ui to _storage basins or reser- voirs, until the last few years when their own common-sense ~told them to follow their leader. For years their methods of delivering water have been wasteful and extravagant in the ex- treme, but when the dry ditches and no visible supply of water confronted them at a time when water was most needed they | decided that storage basins was the only successful _method, and now storage basins are in course of construction. Of all such basins the Hudson reservoir (projected) is by far the largest. Ground hasg been broken, but capital is needed, for it will cost $3,000,000 to construct this basin, which will be when it is finished the largest of its kind 1n the world. Itwill make a lake twenty-five miles long, two miles wide and eighty feet deep, thus hav- ing a capacity of 3,215,027,200 cubic feet of water. Itis almost impossible to calculate the amount of good such a basin will be capable of doing. The Agua Fria, another such concern, contemplates enormous improvements, which will, when finished, irrigate 160,000 acres of land. Their projected work, upon which a good deal of labor and capital has already been expended, contemplates the construction of three dams. The first one will be 40 feet high by 620 feet long. The second is to be 750 feet high by 450 feet long, and the third 150 feet high by 262 long, the water from which will be conducted to the arid land through fifty miles of canal. The esti- numfcm! is $2,000,000, But people who | kindly all night long, is cne of the garden | spots of earth.

Parkhurst, D.D., in | writing of *““The Passion of Money-mak- | ing” in December Ladies’ Home Journal | says, concerning the prevalent idea re- garding the value of an education to boys; “We are considering the effect which is going to be had upon the boy by being led to feel that the value of his training, whether it be obtained in a business col- ilege or in any other kind of a college, | is detremintable by the amount in cash, stocks and securities in which it may be expected ultimately to eventuate. That 1s an indirect—but none the less effective for being indirect—way of telling the boy that money is so transcendently grea: a thing that the only value that anything else can have isits efficiency in contrib- uting to that end. It is an indirect way of telling him that the only value of an idea, the only value of a mental energy, the only value of a disciplined brain, in fact, is its cash value; which amounts substantially to listing intelligence and putting it upon the market in mercantile competition with wheat, leather and rail- road stock. Of course there is no such in- tention s this on the part of parents when they hurry their sons into the store or banking-house or on the Exchange, but the effect just stated is bound to come and is damning in its consequences.’’ ———— PoruLAR works of fiction, history, travel, re- ligion, etc., at retail and by auction, to close consignment.

He Had a Strange Life, Full of Ex- citing Incidents and Strug- gles. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 10.—There is another black-bordered card to be pasted in the day book of 1895. It bears upon it the name of cne of the greatest writers of the day, but, better still, it bears upon it these w : “L’ami des femmes” —the friend of women—Alexandre Dumas. A great man, a great writer, a great reader of the human heart, a great reader, that most difficult of all things, of the heart of woman. And more than that, a student, and a successful one, of the heart, brain and body of women, for bhe well knew the effect that the one had on the other. He pictured woman as she is, but always he was pitiful to her. Always he forgave, and always he recognized that, when she committed the sin which women look upon as the sin of all sins, it was be- ! cause she loved too much, and he main- tained that, first of all, the man should ve the one to forgive her. Every one of his plays teaches that. Always there Is the }ricud who looks at things clearly, and who says, in some way or other, ‘‘Forgive, my friend, forgive this woman. Pardon is an attribute of God; try to reach close to God.” DUMAS’ STRANGE LIFE. And yet, if ever there was a strange story, it was that of Alexandre Dumas. Until he was a grown man he had no name except that which had been given to him in baptism, for he was one among the thousands of children who cannot “My mother”’ without blushing. The day ame when his father recognized him and was proud of him; was generous to him and assisted him ; but always there hung over him this dark cloud that enveloped him from his birth., And even before his birth. Do you believe in heredity? It seems to me that, if you think, youn must. Years ago in Paris there was a young man, ambitions, imaginative, magnifi- cently strong physically, and poor. All his days were spent in the public libraries ut the histories of France, find- ch little story connected with the kings and queens, and building & ro- mence about it. Full of life, he soon spent the smail amount of money he had. Occasionaily a few francs were earned by a story or an essay sold to one of tne jour- nals of the day. This young man grew poorer and }\oorer. The publishers laughed at his novels and refused to read them. The day came when there was nothing left. Before him there seemed only starvation. That he would not submit to. All of one long day he worked in the library and went home only because he knew there was a pistol there. Such a home! A garret room at the top of a miserable house, ten- ing out anted by poor writers like himself, thieves | and wretched women. He entered his room, found a match—the last one—struck it to light the bit of candle that was to show him how to aim coriectly. The match went out. It wasfate. Helaughed long and loudly. Just then he heard a voice in the hall, for he had not thought to close the door. A WOMAN'S VOICE IT WAS THAT SPOKE. She said: ‘““My neighbor, do you wish a light? Take one from my candle.” A lit- tle seamstress, a trim grisette, stood before him and pleased his eyes. He chatted with her; he found he ¢ould laugh, and He was still young. She followed him into his room. The door was closed. Alexandre Dumas, pere, never | forgot that night, when all the world was | reading the “Tiiree Mousquetares,” but can you blame Alexandre Dumas, fils, for having in his nature much that was dark, nce his father was thinking of killing himself and his mother was unhappy and half starved ? But always this child of a great author | and a poor seamstress pleaded for womer ; always his pity went out to those little children against whom the world’s hand is raised before they are born; and surely no better words can be put upon the tomb- stone of Alexandre Dumas than those which formed the title of a great play— “L’ami des Femmes.” It seems strange that while we are all thinking and talking of this great writer his plays should be put upon the stage and the leading parts played by a woman | wnose rendition of them would have pleased their creator. Can more than this be said? Sheis an interesting woman, al- most as much of a girl as Juliet, and yet with Juliet's ability to read the human heart. A LOVELY ENGLISH WOMAN. You know whom 1 mean—OQiga Nether- sole. She comes to us from England, and when you look at her, when you hear her speak, and some one says “English,” you smile in disdain. Then there isa hint of the Spanish blood, but your smile comes just the same. Once, years ago, I visited | in the North, and with the early spring- time went out to look for arbutus. One in our search party came to me awe-stricken, | and neld in his band what was strange to him in this cold country, but which I knew as the bloom of the Sonth—the passion flower. How did it come there? Who can say? By chance on the wings of Leaven, brought by a balmy wind. That is Olga Nethersole. She is the best type of French woman, and she comes from KEngland. The voice is soft and sweet, without any accent. The eyes are pitiful. They look up to you and ask for your love and sympathy, and never a word is spoken. They are won- derful eves, pure eyes; eyes that tell their own story of goodness and of seeing good- ness in other people, which is so much better than announcing one's own virtue. But “the play’s the thing.” Last night it was ‘“Camille.” Before that it was ““Frou- Frou,” and before that it was *‘Denise.” Such wonderful women! And each so un- like the other. I say to this citizen of the world, for England can no more claim Olga Nethersole than can France or Amer- ica: “How do_you feel when you play a part? Are you Denise?” There was no_hesitancy—the answer came quickly. “Honestly, T could not say to myself I will be Denise, I will be Frou- Frou, or I will be Camille, but, when I say their words, when I am living her life, before I know it I am overcome by the strong personality and become another woman. It seems as if, whether I willed it or not, the spirit of the one woman came into me, filled my heart, brain_and body, and I speak and move as if I were her, because for the time being I am that woman. If you said to _me ‘Cough’ I could not do it. But when I am Camille I never give it a thought. The cough comes naturally because [ know I am dying of consumption, and that cough is one of my pains_and one of its terrors. Then there is Frou-Frou. I have been asked why I did not conceal or gloss over the uniovable side of her nature. I couldn’t. 1 would not ve Frou-Frou. That was the woman. Just as she had won your love and your forbearance by her sweetness she dia some willful thing that made you conscious of the other shfe of her nature. ‘What a woman would call the kink in her. About the stage? Do you know, I was afraid to come to this country at first? I thought I ought to wait until I had reached the point I mean to, and was per- haps 40 or even 50, but that, by accident, Idid come is a fortunate thing for me. There is something in the very air that exhilarates me, something that urges me to do my best, and I mean to. “I had an odd experience in Boston with one of its great scholars. I had played Juliet—which I have never seen played— and I did something which was not in the book of the play, but which it seemed to me Juliet would have done. The critics all noted it. I spoke of it to this great student, a Boston man, and reaching among his books—for I was supping in his house—he took down Hazlitt. He found where Kean, in playing a certain {:art, did something quite new, and had been de- rided by the critics because of it. Then he turned” over several pages, and came to the account of the acting of another great man who was reprimanded by the critics of his day for omitting to_do that which Kean had done. He looked at me and said: ‘Some people make roads for other people to walk over—you keep on makin roads.” Wasn’t that a beautiful compli- ment?’ It wasn’t Frou-Frou, it wasn’t Denise, it wasn’t Camille who looked joyful and happy over this; it was the woman with a throat and neck like Langtry’s, with beautiful hair like Mrs. Kendal's, with a grace like Sarah Bernhardt’s, but with clear eyes, and with an individuality that was Olga Nethersole’s, and hers only. Interested? Iam. We women make the success of the woman actress. We have been looking for many vears for a suc- cessor to Mary Anderson, whom we loved, because she “was beautiful, because she was good, and because she looked the varts she played. I think the sucessor is found. Of her it must be said that having the beauty. the youth and the goodness of Mary Anderson, she has, in addition, the ability not only to look the part she plays butto be it. But to return to Dumas. Alas! he never can return to us. Last'night after the play was over I picked up a book and caught a phrase here and there—phrases that you and I might think, but which it took a master mind to put in words. That's the art of writing—when the reader says “That’s what you think and I think noth- ing more”—yes, but we didn’t take the trouble to say it to the world, whereas the great writer touched the keynote called Lu- manity, and his audience was large. Talk- ing about the theater, he said, “Men and women go to the theater only to hear of love, and to take part in the | “Bab.” | vains and joys that it has caused. All the other interests oi humanity remain at the door.” True? What are the plays that liv The love stories. “Romeo and | this an opportunity to come and this week from 10 to 12 A.

Again, and oh! how well this is known to be true by women, he says, “Celibacy, marriage and adui- tery—this is the tragic trilogy in which the life of women struggles. It isin this that poets may find eterna! dramatic sub jects. Of the three phases of the tragedy the most painful is evidently the I named.” I turn over the page and I read, “Wherever there are assemblages of men and women there are souls to be won.” WHEN A WOMAN’S HEART IS TOUCHED. You think this isn’t true, and yet before me there arises the story of a play, the story of a tragedy in a_tragedy. A great | actress was playing Frou-Frou. In her audience was a group of peole who rep- resented what is c:\*}e(l fashion, and among them was a Woman and a man who had once loved each other dearly, so dearly that when he put the marriage ring on her finger he believed that it encircled all happiness for him. As the years went on these two people grew apart. The rifts in the lute were many,and the song of love was hushed or had drifted into a harsh discordance. Before the world | these two people were simply like many others, but when they were. alone they scarcely spoke. That night, as the play went on, the woman’s heart was touched as it had not been for years, and coming out of the theater she asked her husband to come home with her instead of to the gay supper where they were ex- pected.” He did, and when they were to- gether she asked Lis pardon for all that she nad done that was wrong, and she begged of him to give her another chance to prove that she loved him. That night, for the first time in ten years, be kissed her —this beautiful woman—and bidding her good-nightat the door of her room he said : “To-morrow we will be married afresh; we’ll start on our boneymoon, learn to love each other again for always, and away | from all the rest of the world,” | THAT WAS GOOD-NIGHT. | The smile on her face was one of ec- stacy. To his good-morning she gave no | answering word, for death had claimed her in the night. In her cold hand was | the bunch of violets that she had taken from him just pefore she left him, be- | cause they were like those that Frou-Frou | pinned among her laces. She slept with the violets covering her for four vears and then beside her waslaid the body of the man, who during that time had been alone always, and who had never ceased to grieve. because he had had no oppor- | tunity to make her happy in life. And | the reconciliation came because a master in the art of playwriting and of reading hearts had learned how to tell the story | of a woman who was never bad, but only | weak. Do you remember when Frou- | Frou asks her husband to take her away? | Think how different her life would have been if he had done as she asked! How different all life would be if each of us could realize when the other 1s reaching | out for help! 2 Somebody says, “You are enthusiastic,” | Perhaps.
