 DEMAND FOR WATER BONDS.-
 Recorder Jobs is overwhelmed with
 letters from eastern capitalists inQuir-
 ing how they can secure a slice of. if
 not the whole issue, Ot the $265, 900
 water works and sewer bonds lately
 voted by Phoenix. These gentlemen
 had learned from financial journals
 that such a bond election would take
 place and being progressive gentle
 men themselves it no doubt seems in
 comprehensible that the bonds should
 be defeated. The recorder is put to the
 shame of replying to these inquiries that Phoenix has no water works and sewer bonds for sale. Speaking Of the
 bond election, a voter calls attention to the fact that a very large majority of the people of the second ward live in their own homes. This is more mo- tably true of this ward than of any other. This is the Cnly ward in which the bond proposition carried The First comes next in this desirable condition of things and there the bonds made q stand-OH.

Kelly, sergeant-at-a. ms of the council, who has just returned from a visit to his home at SolomonviIle. re- ports an accident al Bowie in which a fireman named William Wiley had as narrow escape from death eS it is pos sible for Q man to have.

A watch guard wti-h extended across his thigh from the watch pocket of his trousers to his hip pocke5 was caught under the wheel and fattened. His leg from his thigh to his ankle was graZed and in some places slightly 1inched by the passing wheel Wiley was taken to the railroad hospital at Tucson.

 WHAT PEOPLE SAY. 2


D. W. Fulwiler: Notwithstanding the warm days the snow in the noun tains is not melting very fast and the water is not coming down the river as one would expect with such warm sunshiny days. However, there is still 3 very good head for the spring crops. The rains in December and January save the ground such a good soaking that farmers have not required as much water for irrigation as they did last spring. Yes, there has been an in crease in the acreage of grain and al- falfa planted this winter, just how much l cannot tell you now, as cur zanjeros have not turned in their re- ports to the canal office, but the in crease has been sufficient to largely in crease the income of the farmers Of the valley.
 pr. H. V. Clymer: There never was any reason for the reports of smallpox ln Phoenix becoming exaggerated as they did. How or why some of the foolish statements that were circulated became started, I do not understand Ihere never were but two cases in the town. One came in from the north and was immediately discovered and isolated, and one came from the south and the same prompt action was taken regarding 1t. There was no 0pportun- ity for the disease to spread. as the two cases discovered, were isolated be- fore there was any opportunity f. contagion. The reports did the town great deal of harm and every pcs sible effort should be made to correct the false impression that has gene forth
 * *
 Robert F. Morrison, of Prescott: Water works and sewers are an as sured thing for Prescott and when we get them you people down here in Phoenix will have to look well to your laurels The bonds were voted last spring, but owing to a hitch over their sale, no progress was made. The city election last month hinged on the bond sale and upon the building of the water works and sewers. and the pro gressivists won. This means that al gravity system with storage reservoirs l will be constructed and sewers to drain the city, and I might also say the military post at WhippIe. With water works and sewers there is no doubt of Whipple being rehabili- tated and Prescott will become the | most charming town in Arizona.

REFERRED TO THE MINISTER OF
FINANCE.
other Propositions Than That of the
Telephone Company are Under Con-
sideration-The Electric Light Co.

Collector General McStocker has re-
ferred the proposition of the Telephone
Company regarding news of incoming
vessels, to the Minister of Finance.
Meanwhile the matter is being very
much discussed and several other prop
ositions have been put forward.
One of these is that the government
itself shall put in a direct wire be-
tween the lookout station and the pi-
lot office. There is a watchman at the
pilot office all night, and during the
day there is always at least one pilot
there all the time. If the pilot office
were notified as soon as a vessel is
sighted from there the custom house,
the port physician, the board of health
and the postoffice could be notified
After that the electric light works
could be notified and code of signals
could easily be devised which would
notify the public as to the arrival of
all regular steamships. Mr.. Hoffman
of the electric light works has offered
to cooperate to this end.
So far as the government is con-
cerned it's actual needs of administra-
ton would be served when the pilots,
and customs, health and postoffice Of
cials We're notified. But the public in
general is interested in the informa
ton and there is no reason why it
should not be furnished to it.
An objection that has been urged
against the telephone company's pro-
posal is that the government has for
years maintained the machinery for
obtaining early information regarding
the arrival of vessels. The telephone
company has been willing to assist in
distributing this information because
of the additional popularity it gave the
service
Now that this information has come
to have a commercial value, to accept
the company's offer, it is argued,
would be to enable it to tax the COM
munity and eventually the government
itself, for that which the government
has heretofore furnished free.

past will then naturally solve them

THE TWO HAwAIIANS WHO FELL
AT MANILA.
No Longer Doubt but That They are
Honolulu Men-Wetherbee is Seri-
ously Wounded

There is no longer doubt that the
A. F. Shearer, Company G., First Cali
fornia, who was wounded at Manila,
is the Honolulu man of that name. BY
a late mail he wrote a friend here that
he had secured a transfer from Com
pany f into Company G. His wound
was not, according to dispatches, con-
sidered serious, although the details
are not given.
Sherer is well known about town He
is tall, manly fellow. the picture of
a soldier. Up to the time he went away
he was a private in Company b, of the
local guard, from which he carried an
honorable discharge to Manila. He
left a good position with the Hawaiian
Electric Company to go to the war.
1t is about equally certain that the
]. d. Wetherbee spoken of in the dis
patches is the old armorer of the Ha-
waiian National Guard. He is report
ed seriously wounded. 1t is stated in
the cablegrams that he was a civilian
cook in one of the Washington compa-
MES Men who knew Wetherbee best
say that he was an excellent cook and
they believe that he, finding it impos-
sible to enlist, turned his hand to that
work. Being an old soldier, and sup
piled with gun during the battle, he
advanced with his company upon the
firing line and was wounded.
WetnefDee nad llNed Tor years IN the
Islands, and was well known. He was
a life long soldier. Being an expert
lOcksmith and gunner he was appoint
ed armorer soon after the N G.. II. was
formed in 1893. Colonel McLain gave
him, in 1895, the rank of sergeant on
the non-com. staff He was away in
the Islands when the war broke out,
and returned to Honolulu in the fall
for the express purpose of going to
Manila. Not being able to enlist he
slowed away, as already stated. There
was a report a short time ago that he
had been put in irons and sent to San
Francisco, but this story is disCredited
for more than one reason.
G. ID. White, reported to be missing,
and thought to have been drowned, is
not the Honolulu White, as was at
first thought possible. The local man,
whose Christian name is Robert, is in
Company X, First Colorado. The miss
ing man was a member of Company
D. same regiment.
AS the regiment to which the Ha-
waiians belonged happened to be in
the very thckest of the fight, it is
gratifying to know that only two We're
scathed. The half hundred others will
doubtless have some thrilling stories
to tell in coming letters from the Phil
| ippineS.

PROMOTION OF ADNIRALS
SECRETARY LONG CALLS BOARD
OF NAVAL OFFICERS.
Records of Conduct of Sampson and
Schley During Spanish War to be
Carefully Examined.

NEW YORK, February IA Wash
ington special to the Herald says: To
insure submission to the senate of an
unbiased report relative to the promo
ton of Rear Admirals Sampson and
Schley, Secretary Long has assembled
a board of naval officers to carefully
examine all records and obtain facts
bearing upon the conduct of both off,
GERS during the var with Spain.
This board consists of Captain r. d.
Evans, who commanded the battleship
Iowa in the Santiago battle; Captain
H. G. Taylor, who was in command Of
the battleship Indiana; Lieutenant W.
j. Sears who was Schley's flag lieu
tenant, and Ensign H. H. Ward, as
sistant to Captain Crowinshield, chief
of the bureau of navigation. Captain
Evans was attached to the flying
squadron which left Hampton Roads
under command of Commodore Schley
and which proceeded to Cienfuegos and
finally to Santiago. Captain Taylor
was attached to Rear Admiral Samp-
sons command in front of Havana
during the anxious days when the
whereabouts of Cervera's squadron
was unknown, and went to Santiago in
command of the fleet which conveyed
General Skaters army. Lieutenant
Sears is regarded as Rear Admiral
Schley's direct representative, as he
was member of his staff during the
entire time Schley was afloat
Ward was not connected with either
| squadron, his duty having been of a
secret nature, and calling him to Por-
to Rico Secretary Long believes the
| report of the board will bear out the
| action of the president. 1t is expected
| that the board will be engaged sever
al days in it's work

HAWAII IN AUSTRALIA.

A very readible article upon Hawaii,
from the pen of James Martin Miller,
has appeared in the Australian Town
and Country Journal, for January 2lst.
1t is illustrated with cuts of scenes in
and around Honolulu, and portraits of
the Queen Dowager, Princess Kaiu-
lani and Princes David and Cupid.
Mr.. Miller is accurate with the ex-
ception of putting Captain Cooks mon
ument on Maui instead of Hawaii, but
that is evidently slip of the pen. He
remained long enough on the Islands
to make a study of our political and
social conditions and his remarks show
a well balanced judgment and careful
observation. This is probably the best
and most comprehensive article upon
the Islands which has been published
in the Australian papers. The paper
can be obtained at the Hawaiian News
