While we may stouty maintain that cultiya-
ton and drainage have not In the least affected
the climate nor lessened the humidity or rain
fall, yet ii is quite evident that by the work of
man the amount of water surface has been di-
minished, and the subterranean water-leyel has
been materially lowered, In the early days
shallow wells were the rule, and deep wells ex-
ceptions. In late years our farmers have been
in sore straits to secure water for their stock.
In some sections the stock-water problem Is
most serious and perplexing. Why are our
wells giving out, and why is the water-leyel be-
coming lower? What has become OF the old
time ponds and streams?
The question is quite easy OF solution. The
surface of the original prairies aud divides was
hard and measurably impervious, so that the
rainfall ran off rapidly into the depressions,
sloughs and streams. The native prairie grasses
and weeds were shallow-rooted, and the original
turf was incapable Of retaining moisture. The
ponds were filed because the ridges soon ran
dry. But now these conditions are changed
The hard, imperyious turf has been broken, and
the soil has been made friable and porous by
cultivation. The ponds and sloughs have been
measurably dried out by blowing and working
the fields, making the soil OF the ridges aud di-
X ides more receptive and retentiye OF moisture.
And TO q still greater extent We have used up
our water supply by the growing of immense
crops in place of the scanty heritage Of the old
time. We have made ten blades of grass or
corn OF grain to grow where one poor little WHY
juiceless blade grew in former days. And 50 it
requires billions Of tons more water to supply
! the demands Of plant growth 10 these days than

Maricopa.
A dispatch to the Rocky Mountain
News, dated fir ON Trinidad, Colo, last
Friday, says:
''This morning at Springer section
foreman made the horrible discovery OF
the bodies of three dead men in box
car that was standing on the side track
at that station. The men were seen
about the depot last evening and it is
thought that they entered the car in
the night and lighted charcoal fire in
a common timers stove which they
had been carrying with them and went
to sleep and were suffocateti by the gas
fr ON the burning charcoal.
ga letter was found on one of the
bodies which indicated that his name
was George Curtis and had relatives in
Maricopa, Ariz., and papers were found
on another which disclosed his name to
be James Murphy, but nothing further
that would identity him and no papers
or anything were found on the other
body that would lead to it's identified
ton. They were all young men and
fairly well dressed. The bodies have
been taken in charge by the coroner
and an inquest will be held tomorrow"
Inquiry was made yesterday of per-
sons acquainted at Maricopa but Curtis
does not seem to be known there.

WASHINGTON, March 26. - After
months of deliberation the Venezuelan
commission today concluded it's Iabors
and announced it's decision. being a
judgment in favor OF citizens OF the
United States, for $l43, 800. about one
third the amount OF the claims of the
total aword. The Venezuelan Steam
Transportation company of New York,
received $141 100 ia American gold with
interest, and Capt. A. G. Post and
Jacob l. Maurinus and David J. Sturgis
received each $500 with interest. The
claim of Cornelius j. Brinkerhoff was
the only one disallowed.
The claims date back to 1871
when in the course of a revolu.
tion in Venezuls three of the
vessels of an American corporation
were seized by the Venezulans on
either side of the controversy and were
much damaged by use in the war. The
ships were finally recovered, one
through the good Office of the command
er OF British war ship and the other
two by the commander of the United
States ship Shawmut.

the Overlooked. Plaintiffs also ask
judgment for the value of she ore taken
out OF their claim by the defendant.

prayed for.

WASHINGTON, March %. - Minister
Thurston has decided to leave this coun-
try without waiting for any formal
notice from his government to return.
Mr.. .Thurston admitted his only source
of information as to the course of The
state department. in regard to his casa
has been obtained from the newspapers.
He has received no communicate from
Secretary Gresham and expected none.
He said he accepted the press state
ments IS accurate and his conclusion to
return home was based upon what the
newspapers say.
Mr.. rhurston's departure put an end
to previous Comment as to his purpose
to remain in Wa hingt, as a thorn in
the side of the state department. His
statement does not make GEAR, how
ever, whether his acflon is temporary
or permanent and the minister will not
go into details. It is regarded as final,
however, in showing that he will not
seek to remain in Warrington ss q
source of any irritation. Mr.. Hastings
will represent the provisional govern
ment during Mr.. Thurston's absence.
1t was said at the state depart ment
late this afternoon that Minister Thus
ton had no, notified the department Of
his return to Honolulu or that he would
be absent from the city, 1t is Usually
customary for minister 10 notify thu
department OF his intention and to say
who will oe in enarg3 oi affairs during
his ab-ence.
Of course there is yet time for Mr..
Tnurston to send sach notification aud
one OF the department. offihals said n1
doubt it would be received before Mr..
Thurston left the country if he had de-
termined on going.

THOUGHT 1T WAS A SALOON
Man to Whom a Screen Meant
Only One Thing.

A night or two ago stranger who
had been making circuit of saloons
until he got beyond the point of dis
elimination entered the Phoenix music
store. j. H. Zeigenfuss was sitting at
one desk and DR.. Norton at another.
There we're also two or three ladies in
the Office. The stranger approached
Mr.. Zeigenfuss and after chatting aim
lessly a minute or two said: "Well,
let's get to business. "'What business ?"
asked Mr.. Zeigenfuss. "Why / want a
drink of course. what else do you sup
pose Pm here for ?" replied the visitor.
He had been fooled by a handsome
screen which he had seen from the
outside and imagined it obscured bar.
He apologized effusively for his mis-
apprehension and went away. DR..
Norton who has strong tendencies to-
ward teetotalism now insists that the
screen shall be arranged in less
suggestive position.

FOOTBALL TABOOED.
Harvard'S Faculty Decides
Against 1t.
The Crimson Prohibited From TAX
ing Part in lntercoilegiate
Contests.

By the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, March 26-The Harvard
faculty this afternoon again took
a firm stand against intercollegiate
football contests, and it looks doubtful
if the Crimson will be represented by an
eleven on the gridiron next fall. The
motion adopted was worded as follows
"The faculty, having received and
considered the communication from the
committee on the regulation OF athletic
sports, dated Feb. rs, 1895, remain OF
the opinion that no student under their
charge should be permitted to take
part in intercollegiate football con-
teets."
The communication referred to was a
statement prepared by the athletic
committee appointed by the college
corporation to have supervision in such
cases as this. At its former meeting
the faculty recommended the abolition
of intercollegiate football to the athletic
committee. The latter replied by sug-
gesting certain notifications of the
game, instead of its utter abolition.
These recommendations were pre-
pared by the graduate football advisers
at the request of the athletic commit
tee; were approved by the latter, and
were submitted to the faculty with the
expressed opinion that it is worth
while to make an earnest, determined
effort to free the game from its objec-
tionable features, with clear under
standing that If the experiment is not
distinctly successful, all further at
tempts TO save this game at Harvard
will be abandoned.
Yesterdays action is not final /; it is
sufficiently prohibitive to prevent the
game. for while the faculty may not
have power to abolish contests, they
can prohibit the men from engaging in
them, which is sufficient. Another
meeting of the faculty will be held
April 2, when final and decisive action
on the question is anticipated.

A MILLIONAIRE IN EMBRYO.
A Rapid But Purely Nominal In
crease of Salary.

A Rapid But Purely Nominal In
crease of Salary.
There is boy IN Phoenix who has the
making of a millionaire in him. He
applied last Saturday to the Rhodes
bicycle agency for a job. After some
negotiation he obtained it on the fol-
lowing terms: The first week he is to
work for nothing; the next week his
salary is to be dou bled and each of the
two following weeks it is also doubled
with a reckless disregard of the possi-
bilities of a geometrical progression.
On Monday morning at 8 O'Clock the
boy was at the store ready to begin.
He hammered at the door until he
awoke R. G. Lowell, who occupies
rooms above the bicycle store and who,
between restless cats and the fiesta at
the opera house had been having an
eventful night OF it. Mr.. Lowell threw
open window and learning the cause
of the new disturbance spoke harshly to
the boy for his ill-timed industry. The
boy went away but returned in an hour
and sat on the door step until the store
was opened. His faithfulness and at
tention to business has earned the
regard of the proprietors who are
already meditating a substantial in
crease in his salary.

A MASS MEETING.
A Popular Discussion of tn e
High School Question.
An Important Meeting Called by the
Trustees at the Central School
Building Tonight.

The high school proposition is likely
to meet some opposition at the outset
and right at home. 1t has been develop
Ing within the last two days and seems
to be based upon an objection to the
taxation necessary to maintain the
schools.
At the instance of citizens who want
to discuss the matter the board of
trustees yesterday afternoon decided to
call mass meeting for tonight and the
following notice was issued:
"At the request of a number of citi-
zens mass meeting is hereby called to
give an opportunity to the electors of
school district No. l, Maricopa county
TO consider any questions which may
arise in regard to establishing high
school district pursuant to act passed
by the Eighteenth legislature. Said
meeting to be held at Center street
school housa on Wednesday evening,
March q, at o'clock.
D. L. MURRAY.
j. w. kINCAID.
FRANK FUQUA."
While there is some opposition to a
high school in any form, the pri ncipal
objection seems to be against a union
high school. Though the tax in this
case would be spread over a greater
area and would consequently be less
ourdensome to those whose property is
confined to any particular district, it
would be more serious matter to those
whose property is scattered throughout
two or more districts of the proposed
union district. The law specifies no
rate OF taxa ton but section 4 provides
for the maintenance of the school as
follows:
''ln any single district or union high
school districts which have determined
to esta blish such nigh schools, an an
nual tax shall be levied by the authori-
ties whose duty it is to levy taxes in
counties, cities or incorporated towns,
the amount of said tax being estimated
by the county uperintendent OF schools,
and by him certified to the proper au-
thorities on or before the first day of
July of each year. And it shall be the
duty of such authorities to levy such a
rate upon the property in said single
district or union high school district as
will produce the amount necessary for
such purpose"

MORAL TACTICS.

The general and his staff are all i'm

them than rhe dozen PAGES that separate
them from the ranks; that any one of
them is of the same make as himself

haps they are soldiers; they don't look
like it, their clothes are too fine; his are
torn and muddy with marching and Sleep
