OFFICIAL CHANGES
The Face of Things About Inc Court
 House Nof Much Changed.

The changes in the court house yes terday were more real than apparent. Only thrse entirely new officers were introduced. The rest were either re- elected or transferred from one place to another. Supervisor Marshall sue ceoded Supervisor 1Ionihon The oth- CTS were Treasurer Messenger. County School Superintendent Fulton, As sessor Coggins. Probate Judge Scott was sitting at the desk he has Occu- pied for more than two years as clerk of the probate court. Treasurer Mur- ray moved about fifteen feet along the hallway and substituted the word sheriff for treasurer. The interest regarding the appointments ln the sh6aiff's cfice was only partially re- ieved J. 2. Boyd, who served under chief deputy. Other deputies are Will liam J. Murray. w. w, Moore and Jos eph Bush. Other general deputies were appointed. Assignments of the places of the office deputies have not yet been made.
 No changes were made in County Recorder Sheridan's office. Deputies Charles VI. Barnett and Mrs. Lena F. Sears were reappointed. It was be- lieved that the bcard Of supervisors would elect @ clerk, but the day was consumed in checking up the accounts of the treasurer's office.
 But what was not done yesterday will probably be done today and the county will be at peace.
 Fer tf2e first tim in seven weeks Jus tice Kincaid was able to be at his of fee yesterday for the transaction of l. h Fr,,, the judicial reputation of Wall street now rests on his court, Captain c.

 Issue stock of company only to land owners share psr acre.

 To all lands owning water by share or rights make issue of rights subject to annual charge.
 To other lands issue water rights subject to 5000 per acre canal fund, bearing interest until paid, and annual charge as before.
 To commence operations, get agree menCs with as many of present land owners as possible. to the payment of a maximum charge of $2.50 per acre. an nually for canal and reservoir service as per schedule.

J. c. HOlzheimer, Pittsbwg: l at tended the Elks' ball at Tucson on Monday night and was p-ssent during the laying of the corner stone Of the Elks' new building. The ball was a revelation to me. I did net expect to find a full dress social function in a country where customers believe there are nothing but Indians and despera- does. There were some beautiful la dies there and their costumes were beautiful The scene in the ball room made me think l was back home at tending one Of our SWSllezt balls. l found lots of good fellows in Tucson and had 2 hard time getting away from there.
 
 s. R. H. Robinson: We expect to open our retaII and wholesale grocery house by the first of next month. We are getting the st0rer0om ready for the fixtures which will arrive in 3 short time from the east.
 B. Esyman: Why don't you say something about the line sumner weather we are having? Every after neon my thermometer registers be- tween seventy and eighty. This ought to make interesting reading fer your readers in the east. There is no use in saying anything about the cloudless days, for all days are alike in that re- spsct now.

SCHEDULE.

OI the 4UU,OUO acres under the lines
 of canals, 250, 000 acres it should bs
 possible to bring in by agreement, if
 deemed advisable then the remainder
 by legislation. The organization al-
 ways holding unissued stock and water
 rights of such lands as did not join
 by agreement or legislative action. When 250,G00 acres Of membership hal
 been secured, there would be in sight
 guarantee fund of$564 900 per an mum, as per schedule With such q sum for ten years, it would be possible to secure the present canals, or so many as were needed CT build new Cnes and to secure reservoir sitss. con asruot ths necessary reservoirs, with a substantial margin of safety bcsids. As to the further acreage to be pro vided for, whenever another sufficient acreage would take the water rights at S10 per acre for canal fund, and make the agreement for annual oD- erating expense Of s for ten years, then issue the S6pck, put the water rights in trust aW get the money to build another reservoir and extend the canals.
 On all operations to secure money. base the application on an agreement to pay 9 sufficient sum annually to pay off principal and interest in ten or if ten years as might be agreed upon, as well as annual operating expenses.
 Include in all agreements that any land owner might pay an agreed amount at any time and secure his water right and share entirely free and unincum bered aft5r the manner of building and loan security operations. For the government of the organi- zaUion elect one director, who must he a land owner, by direct vote of share holders Of and for each township cir fraction greater than half
 Ask congress for a grant of 750 900 acres of land in aid of the organiza- ton, in return for water necessary tor the Indians hereunder located, and allow the secretary Of the interior to appoint adjacent land owners 2s direct CTS, to represent the governments in terest, on same terms as those elected in each township.
 At number of points, perhaps. leg slatiOn might bs needed to assist, but the potent force of an agreement en- bracing 250, eco acres of cultivated lands, made by it's owners, cannot be 1 1enied, and the further fact that the | major interest in canal system l by water right is already owned by | and owners, would make only q small | step necessary to cover the whole | ground.
 If this plan meets with general ap- | DTOv3l, then to initiate organization, | let the people of each township make | ] provisional organization by holding | m election based on acreage vote to [ select some person to represent them | turing formation period, until a legal | standing could be gained, the final se- ection Of directors to be made there after.

THE DISCUSSION.

These reports were all that were prc- s=nted and tla discussion wh ch f0llow- cd Mir. FCwl1r's report lasted for owe, an hcur. Both MT GulIey and MT. Fowler were called upon to explain various portions Of their plans. Fly blaming his position in regard to the individual control Of a reservoir, MT. Fowler said: Under our pr sent laws it would b. necessary to incorp crate If we decide that it is unwise CT if it is unacceptable to the majority Cf tLe ranchers to incorporate, thcn let us have Q district corporation Of s-m1 kind"
 Pref Gulley ent5red in.c the discus sion cf Mir. Fowler's report. H. thought that it's weak pcint " $ it's Op- position to corporation aid in any man ner. Almost all mutual comp 1nies CT ganized by farmers have proven fail u1ss'' said he. Tt is almost impossible to do business and compete with corporations by any organization Of the "a ch- CTS Municipal ownership would net be acceptable either, in my judg- ment While some corpo a,i0rs are dishonest just as there are dish-ne5t individual business men, all corp Ia tiOns are net corrupt"
 Mir. Fowler answered -ilas b3cau7e some farmers w5re net successful when they organized in an undertaking it would be unjust to condemn all ranch CTS fer 9 lack Of business tact. Tt is estimated that nina persons ou5 of ten,' said he, ''are failures as business m6n, which shows thaC the human race is given more 70 failure than success.

Numerous rumors concerninc
the extension ofthe road have been
IN active circulation since the pub-
lication Of the news Of the sale q,

and perhaps ali Of them, are prob.
ably without foundation. One Of
these, which seems to obtain some
credence among railroad men, is 10
the effect that the line will be
extended from Stone CITY to Aus.
tin, connecting there with the Aus.
tin and Northwestern and with the
Austin branch ofthe Central. All
this, however, is the merest con.

Another rumor, which is general.
