THE BEER CANTEEN.
Governor McCord's Opinion as to Sell
 ing Liquor to Soldiers.

Some time ago "The Voice. the lead ing temperance paper of the United States, sent out an inquiry to military and other prominent men requesting their views on the subject of the sale of liquor in the army. Among the persons addressed was Governor Mo Cord, who replied as follows:
 Phoenix, July 20, 1898. Editor of The Voice. 30 Lafayette
 Place, New York, N. Y.:
 Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your circular letter of the 8th inst, asking for my opinion on the subject of the beer canteen, and the sale of intoxi- eating liquors to the soldiers of the United States army, and beg to reply to your questions as follows:
 First, I am of the opinion that the bee1 canteen shoul. !... : :s3a.;7'ied as being degrading to t.-- -oI.Ic', men tally and physically, and tending to demoralize discipline among tie troops.
 Second, I believe the sale of intox- ics ting liquors to soldiers of the United States should be forbidden, for the same reasons; and because 1 be- lieve a soldier wnose system is en- tirely free from the effects of stimu- lants of all kinds is healthier, stronger and better able to withstand the hard ships of fpctive service and the en- croachment of disease and epidemics, than one whose system is subject to the stimulation of intoxicating liquors "Yours respectfully, "MYRON H.

BILLY DoWELL's CONVERSION.
How He Was Led to Belief of Scrip
 tural Statements.

Some men must needs be converted to a religious belief by christening, and others are led by love. Now there is Billy Dowell. MT. Dowell is native of Arkansas and without any settled religious faith. He did not believe many of the teachings of Divine writ and was particularly skeptical regard ing Job. About week ago MT. Dow ell began to be visited by Doils. Many of them brought their relations with them. There were boils everywhere of an extremely malignant character. They were on his arms; his neck, his head and everywhere else boil could find a foothold. There were forty seven by an official count between the hand and elbow of the right arm. Some of the boils are now beginning to emigrate and the others are relaxing. The pain had subsided so that MT. Dowell was able to come down town last night. He said he wanted to make public confession of a sublime and beautiful faith in the story of Job. This, of course, is a very sma.- part of the general scheme of the true re- ligion, but it is a start in the right di- rection. It is an entering wedge which is opening MT Dowell up to a convic-. tion of the reliability of almost any other statement contained in the bible.

THE GOVERNORS WELCOME.
The Appointment Yesterday of the
 Committee of Twenty-Five

Ex-Governor John M. Hamilton, chairman of a public meeting held at the executive chambers last Wednes- day night with reference to the well coming of Governor Murphy, yester- day announced the following members of committee of twenty-five which he was directed by the meeting to se- feet for the purpose of arranging a plan for carrying out the purposes of the meeting: Hon. J. c. Adams, chair man; Thomas Armstrong, Jr., I. M. Christy, Hon. c. H. Akers. Hon. c. w.. Johnstone, c. c. Randolph, Dr. Jessop, Walter Talbot, James McMillan, J. A. Kurtz, J. D. Monihon, G. D. Gray, Jerry Millay, Frank Alkire, John Y. T. Smith, Hon. George w. Vickers, N. A. Morford, Judge A. c. Baker, Dr.. Belden, B. s. Gill, s. M. McGowan, B. Gang, T. D. Bennett, William G. An derson and J. w. Benham.
 Chairman Hamilton has called for a meeting of this committee this evening at o'clock at the Hotel Ad- ams
 No intimation could be given yester- day of the programme to be adopted, but it will no doubt be as simple as possible, since Governor Murphy has urgently and frequently requested by telegraph that there be no reception or demonstration of any sort. He has

AT THE HOTELS

Surrounded by blue prints, sheets upon sheets of calculations, books on all matters pertaining to sewage and water systems, and with an air that indicated business and no time to spare for a newspaper interviewer. The Republican found MT. Ernest Abs Hagen in his room at the Adams yes terday.
 This gentleman is here in response to a resolution of the city council and is now busily engaged upon plan by which it is hoped the city may be- come possessed of water and sewer system all it's own. It will be at least two months before his report will be complete
 MT. Abs Hagen was educated in and graduated from the universities of Germany. When he first came to this country he was placed in charge of the construction of the lower half of the Sixth avenue elevated railroad in New York city. He was for some time city engineer of San Antonio, Texas. Coming to California he was connected with the water system of San Diego, and for the past four years has re- sided in Los Angeles, where his eff ciency has been recognized in sub stantial manner.
 The Los Angeles City Water con- ptny had Q thirty-year contract with the city. This contract expired yes terday. Some time ago the city au- thorities employed MT. Abs Hagen to estimate the value of the present plant, it being the intention to purchase from the water company. The latter valued it at s, ,000, ,OO0. MT. Abs-Hagen hand ed in a valuation of $1,190,000. The company refused to accept this figure, neither would they go to arbitration.
 The following resolution was passed by the city council of Los Angeles, and as matter of course is highly valued by the subject Of it:
 Resolved, That the sincere thanks of this council are due to MT. Ernest Abs-Hagen for the untiring industry patient watchfulness, unf1inching fdel- ity to duty and consummate skill with which he performed the arduous task of making the estimate of the value of the present plant of the Los Angeles City Water company"
 MT. Abs-Hagen was then employed tC make designs and estimate for a new plant. This he completed and the new system will be put in at a cost of s4,500,O00.
 In addition to accomplishing all O. tEis work MT. Abs-Hagen, as chief en gl1ieer of the Villa Leido, Durango Mexico, has made the plans for tht highest solid masonry overflow dan ever built, which will soon be con structed at a cost of S2,00O,0O0.
 Speaking of the difference betweel municipal and private ownership O water and sewer systems, MT. Abs Hagen said:

AN ALARMING INCIDENT.
The Rights and Liberties of Phoenix
 Threatened.

The city ordinances expressly forbid a man under the influence of liquor from going to sleep on the streets, al leys or any other public place within the corporate limits. Such a violator is technically described as sleeping drunk. A new construction amounting to an expansion was put upon the or dirance by Recorder Jobs yesterday. The night before an inebriated per son went into Japanese restaurant on Washington street and fell asleep. The Japanese proprietor couldn't waken him. They. let him sleep until midnight and then they called in the police. The man was taken to the city jail and the legend, sleeping drunk was written after his name. He was taken before the recorder yes terday afternoon and was fined $7. As unimportant as this case may seem it is serious and even alarming. It betrays revolutionary tendency on the part of the court. The promulga- tion of the doctrine that an intoxi- cated person who sleeps in any other than one of the public. places above mentioned is the application of lever to subvert the rights of the people. If one cannot sleep peacefully in res taurant, where may he sleep? Far seeing people perceive in this decision other encroachments until a man who is drunk cannot lawfully sleep at all. Within six months it is safe to predict | that the police will be going around l from house to house in the middle of the night waking up private citizens. Those upon whom the smell of liquor l is detected will be run in and submit | ted to extortion and disgrace The only
 safe place to sleep will be outside the city limits.
 | The recorder lamely urged in exten-
 uation of his finding yesterday and for
 the purpose of concealing the tendency
 Of the police court toward absolutism,
 that the Japanese or Chinese restau-
 rant was the castle of it's proprietor.
 which he could rightfully object to
 conversion into a sleeping apartment.
 This utterance, however, does not veil
 the certain approach of an era of tyr
 amy in this city. Something ought
 to be done about it.

LIFE AT WHIPPLE.
The Boys Excited by Rumors of ar
 Early Movement to the Front.

Whipple Barracks, July 22.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- Rumors are flying in every direction since Col. McCord's resignation as gov ernor. Oyster suppers have been wagered that we get orders to leave before Saturday night. Others say we are to stay here until September 1, but of one thing we are all certain, Uncle Sam will either have to supply his men with uniforms soon or else move us to a hotter climate. Another company from New Mexico arrived last night. This completes New Mexico's S quota. A Phoenix soldier and his spe- cial orderly were down to the train to welcome the boys from New Mexico, when a squad of men from the cooks quarters took the Phoenix soldier and his orderly on forced march back to their posts as chief cook and bottle washer. They had deserted a short time before. Corporal Jacquette has kindly volunteered to act as chief

WHAT WATER WILL DO.

Missoula, July 1.-THE mountain
ranch of F.. NJ. Radcliffe has frequent

showing what could be lone with a
moderate supply of water in this Sec
ton, provided that the water is jul
~diciously used. When Mr.. Radcliffe
took this ranch in hand there were few
who believed that he could do any
thing with 1t. 1t was away up on the
side of Mount Jumbo and there was no
apparent way in which water could
be taken up there for irrigation. Mr..
Radcliffe drove a tunnel into the side
of the mountain near the upper limit
of his garden and orchard ground. AT
200 feet he found a constant supply OF
water. This he runs out of the tunnel
and stores in q substantial reservoir
for use on the ranch. He has a pipe
line run TO his house for his domestic
upply and the overflow from the res
ervoir is used for irrigating his large
orchard, garden and berry fields. For
three years the small fruits grown
upon this n have won prizes in
competition. The currants M goose
