Washington. March 31. -Tlie propo-
sal of the anti-Addieks Republicans ut
Delaware to their opponents looking to
an agreement for filling the two vacan-
cies in the United State- Senate win
afford a test of the real party loyalty
of the Addiek* men. It neem* to be
agreed that i* the vacancies remain un-
filled. a Democratic legislature will like
ly Ie dected in November which WO*M

d adding to have the leMtonhip fur
their party offer their opponent* the
ehoitu from among ten tuiiies in the
two lower eountie*. if in exchange they
may have the choice among ten to b«
pre-ented by the Addi k* partisans tron.
the New Ca-tle county. This woi lit
eliminate Addi -ks since he Would not tr-
ibe man chosen by the anti-Addieks tac-
tion nor is his name among those pre-
-ented bv them.
If the Addick* men reject such an
offer M this they will prove themsel-
ve* loyal merely to the head of their
clan and not to tbe party. su han at-
titude would doubtless affect their -tan:t-
ing ut the next Republican national con-
vention.
One of the larg»M reservoir site* in
the West is under the examination of
tho United States Geological Survey.
Th<* dam *ite is situated iu a narrow
gorge just below the juncture of Salt
river and Toronto Creek. Arizona. Ihe
capacity of the proposed reservoir witn
a dim 20 feet in elevation above the
bed of th* river is nearly 1000090 a.r.*
feet or more than that of the great
Nile or than any other artificial reser-
voir in the world.
One of the serious obstacles met in
planning for the construction nf this
great reservoir was the difficulty in se-
curing hydraulic cement at a o*t low
en nigh to make the project financially
pra.-ti'al About 159.000 Imrie)' of
cenMßt w ill b<* needed which owing to
the isolated location <» ihe site and Ih ■
lung overland haul would rea 'h tile
almost prohibitive rate of $9 per barrel.
Fortunately materials were found al
haul suitable for manu fait tiring a hicli
grade cement which will -av nearly a
million dollar* in the cost of construc-
tion. Water iiowcr will he developed

do the heavy work of building.

irrigation nearly 200.91*1 acres of desert
land* besides litniishing a reliable sup-
ply of water to a large area now ii
