rate for the same uses. The temper of the audience was shown in t1e out- bursts Of applause which greeted the
 speaker at each Of these C comparisons. | Having disposed at considerable | length of the water question the mayor turned his attention to the inadequate l sewer system. Phoenix, he said, an nually attracted $1,500,000 from health seekers; this was a more important item of all classes of citizens than the
 two greatest industries of the Salt River valley. Alfalfa and cattle rais- ing both together 'brough: no such sum into the valley A prominent banker said that much the larger volume of money that passed over the banks counters was the money of tourists brought here by PhOeniX's reputation as a health resort. This reputation, MT. Adams said could not be long maintained if the alleys were to be al lowed to reek with filth and be lined with out-houses and cesSpOols. He ap- pe31ed to the audience as a taxpayer for an improvement of conditions, and as a taxpayer he demanded a better and a, cheaper wa:er system.
 The( last speaker was City Attorney WalteT Bennett MT Bennett said he would decline to pass an opinion upon the questions which were under dis cussion. He had, however, the great est confidence in MT Chalmers pains taking study of his lei,al position and also in the wisdom and integrity of the city council. The city he said, needed improved water facilities and much improved sewer system. He devoted himself chiefly to the extension of the city limits, which, he said, should be accomplished in the interest Of both those now in the city and those it was proposed to take in.
 At the conclusion of Mr Bennetts speech Mayor Adams moved the adOp- ton of a resolution directing the prep aration of petition to the legislature for the appointment of a commission to handle the proceeds of any munich pal bonds that might be hereafter voted. The mayor had alluded to such a commission in his speech and had also suggested legislation prohib- iting counties from aVailing themselves of taxes from incorporated cities within their boundaries. The res0lu- ton was adopted, Judge Baker alone dissenting, and asking to have his vota recorded.
 The meeting was closed with a pre- sentation of stereopticon views of the plans of the proposed water works and sewer system prepared by Ernest Abs-Hagen, the consulting engineer.
 The meeting was the most successful of the kind ever held in Phoenix An other like it would insure tho success of the water works and sewer bonds if success is not already assured.

LAST or x FAMOUS HERD Was One of inc CameIs Bought
 From Asia Minor.

The last camel of a famous herd was killed and eaten by the Indians in Yuma few days ago. The venerable beast was one Of the herd brought from Asia Minor many years ago to carry ore from the CCmstock mines.
 P. T. Barton of Prescott, Ariz., who was in the COmstock at the time. said he was positive that the late AdClph SutIO was largely instrumental in bringing the camels here. It was in the old days, when the Comstock was in is glory, the days before the rail road, when Virginia City was almost as important. town as San Francisco. It so happened that certain group of mines about twenty-five or thirty miles out of Virginia City WAS banning out piles of rich ore. It was impossible to put up a mill close to the mines on account of lack of water. Mules were put to the work, and during the winter months did fairly well. altaough t D feed and care for them was a terroriZing expense. From the first 1t was apDar- ent that the mule plan was not Q sue cess. In the summer it took about two mules to carry water for the one that carried the ore. And all the while the animals kept dying. The intense heat and dry, sandy air were too much for them, and they fell by the wayside so fast that new band was required all most weekly. But the ore had to be carried to the mill, for there was mil lions in it.
 At this juncture some genius sug- gested tha- the miners buy canals for the work. So the camels were bought at great expense. Some Of them were obtained from the veteran snowman, F. T. Barnum, and about twenty came di- rect from Asia Minor, under the care of an agent dispatched from Virginia City. From the first the camels did all that was expected of them Each morning they would eat a maager breakfast of any old weed that hap pened in their way, drink a few gal Ions of water, and were ready for busi- ness. Two bags Of ore, each contain ing between 200 and 300 pounds, were strapped to the back over the hump of each camel. When the train was ready all started off at once, striking a good swinging gait that was kept up until the mill was reached and the drivers had nothing to do but follow the train Denver Republican.

FAVORED THE BONDS
Meeting of Progressive
 Citizens.
A Strong Legal Argument by nr. L. H
 Chalmers and Convincing Ad- dress by Flavor Adams.

Whatever the voting taxpayers of Phoenix may decide to do at the bond election next Tuesday, they are cer- GAinly manifesting what seems o be a Vital interest in it now. The mass meeting of citizens called at the court house last night by the proponents of the bonds was well attended and was signalized by outbur5ts of enthusiasm at the marshaling of arguments in favor of municipal control of the water works. The meeting was called to or der by Mayor Adams, and Dr. l.. H. Goodrich, one of PhoeniX's heaviest taxpayers, was made chairman. MT. E. l.. Andrews was chosen secretary. On taking the chair Dr. Goodrich said that he had recently been shown a small book purporting to contain the names of all the city taxpayers. His own was not among them. However, he said he would endeavor to vote. The chairman then proceeded to the busi- ness of the meeting.
 There were two principal speakers. The first was MT. L. H. Chalmers, who had been called in to make legal ar gument in support of the validity. of the proposed bond issue by overcoming the only legal objection advanced by the opponents, that the existing water Confpdhy pOSSeSSeu d VeSIeu I1SHC oI which it could not be dive 5ted by any municipal action. This argument was in reply to one made by Judge Baker at an anti-bond meeting on Wednesday night. MT. Chalmers was city attOr- ney ten years ago and at that time submitted an opinion that the sO-called Gardiner franchise under which the present company is operating was in- valid. His address last night con- sisted of extracts from that opinion, reinforced by later decisions, and was altogether masterly and convincing.
 MT. Chalmers began by saying that he was not present to discuss the ad- visibility of bond issue or the citys need of better and cheaper water facili- ties. That was something for the tax payers to decide. He was not. a heavy taxpayer and would probably net at

WATERBURY'S DEFENSE
Why fh9 Laie PoSfoffiCe Inspector
 Was Removed.

The many friends in Phoenix of eX- Postofice Inspector George H. Water bury will be interested in learning the nature of the offense for which he was lately removed:
 This action is the result of an inves- ,igation which has been in progress for 9 fortnight. During that interval In spector Water bury's commission has been withheld.
 The deposed inspector has been asso- ciated with the inspection office for more than five years, and is widely known throughout Colorado.
 Some months ago MT. Waterbury is said to have been instructed to arrest a certain official presumed to be in Routt county who was wanted on serious charge. Owing to the fact that Water bury was known to this man, he had recourse to a ruse. He enlisted the services of a friend, a travelling man. who was stranger to the man whom Inspector Waterbury desired to arrest.
 The man whom he believed could ef- feet this arrest was a MT. LindaYer. It was necessary for the latter to reach the locality where the suspected official lived, and to do this Lindaver was obliged to utilize a stage line operated by a Star route contractor. A request for transportation was made by MT. Waterbury to this contractor for his friend. This request is said to have been made in a personal and not in an 2oee 3iai of faRasl4 ss for f&s- tation was. fOrwa ed to Washington by some enerr Inspector Water bury.

< Strange Happening at the County
 Jail Yesterday.

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock an unknown young woman was brought to the sheriff's office to make application for admission to the county hospital She seemed to be about 20, was large and co-ely and Of Spanish CT half Spanish blood. She seemed to be in pain and she was in the pains of maternity. Everybody could see that. The hack driver was asked to take her to the hospital, but he said he was crowded for time; he wanted to catch train, though none was due for the next dozen hours. He did not want his vehicle converted into lying-in- hospital. Dr. Oame-on was sent for and the poor girl was car ried into the woman S cell Of the jail where she was delivered of a healthy girl babe a few minutes later.

Washington, Jan. 20-The Star has the following:
 Havana, Cuba, Jan. 19-The Cuban assembly of the insurgent army is to recOnVeEo tCmorCw at Marian3o. Its sessions were adjourned in December to await the result Of the work cf the committee which went to Washington to urge that the United States make an advance to pay the in surgents and compensate iJse-f cut of the prospective customs receipts. Word has come from Washington that some such arrangement will be made, but cn what authority, is not known. The Cuban assembly proeessas ability to disband the insurgent to their homes Tn the country if a pcrtiOn of their pay is advanced.

 The Cubans are preparing a protest against the Spanish bank of Cuba col Iectlng taxes. The impression still prevails among them that the bank is to collect taxes to January 1, which were levied under Spanish stcysre' gnty.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. {
N NNSANANNNNANN NN

Professor w. B. Creager: I have often been asked what it was about Moody that has made for him so great fame as an evangelist, and can only re- ply by saying that although MT. Moody may not be a gEamm2rian, he is a powerful rhetorician and is possessed with an infinite amount of energy.
 
 w. L. Pinney: I have sold more cameras this month than ever before in any one month since I have been in business. How do 1 account for it? I don't know why the sales have been so large. Certain it is that it is not be- cause of purchases by winter visitors, for the visitors this winter are not spending any money with the local tradesmen.
 Alex Rheinstein: I am just recover ing from an attack of the grip; the real grip too. Sore? Why l cannot move without pain in some part of my body, and if I cough the pain through my lungs is enough to make me fear that l am to become a one-lunger. This grip is a terror and l wish they would take it back 10 Russia where it came from.
 Hon. Thomas Davis: I am just on my way home to Tucson from an ex- tensive business trip through the states of the Mississippi valley. Business is good throughout all Of them, and the coming year premises to be one of the most prosperous in our history. I visited the leading cities ana money centers while east and found money plentiful foc ali legitimate enterprises. Capital is shy of all ventures that will not stand the strictest test, but for really meritoriOu enterprises there is no trouble in securing all the capital needed.
 Dr. G. H. Keefer: We are getting too much advertising of a nature not profitable to us. The system of caring for indigents in vogue in this county is causing many people just ready to die to rush to Phoenix CT to be sent here by their county authorities. l don't believe there is another section in the United States where the buSi- ness men and taxpayers are bearing So heavy a burden of this character as they are here in Phoenix. Then every destitute person who dies here adver- tises us in the wrong way, many peO- pie getting an idea that as a winter re- sort Phoenix is not a success. Of course people in the last stages of tu- bercular diseases and without means cannot get well here any mere than they can in the Arctic regions Why the county should continue to care for this class of transients as it does is beyond my understanding.

WASHINGTON, March 25-Chauncey

the following address,:
THE National Association of Demo-
cratic clubs renews it annual suggestion
that the birthday of Thomas Jefferson
April g. be duly observed by the Demo-
cratic clubs throughout the Union, as
heretofore.
THE doctrines Of the author of the
Declaration Of independence and the
founder of the Democratic party, tried
and trusted by more than a century
experience, under varying circumstances
and now, at lenght, universally conceded
to be the corner stones of free inStitu-
lions, which may not be disturbed with
out ruin to the republic, cannot be too
frequently eXpounded or too strenuously
enforced
"A fresh recurrence to them by the
Democratic clubs of the United States is
especially appropriate. and even neces-
sary, at this time, when new territories
are being incorporated with the old, and
distant people are being brought under
the Jurisdiction of our Federal Union and
essential republican federal government
I'VE respectfully ask that all clubs on
the roll of the ma tional association which
celebrate the day shall forward minutes
of their proceedings to these headquart-
