lin ON the Statutes.

Cincinnati people love to tell this
story on General Benjamin F. Butler:
he was one of a commission to ex-
anime young applicants for admission
to the bar, and before him came a
youth who failed miserably on all that
pertained to jurisprudence, case law,
civil law, sumptuary law, unwritten
law and due process of law. Finally,
Butler, VINO rather liked the chap and
wanted to see him through, asked:
"What would you like to be examined
in? You have failed in everything
we have suggested" The reply came:
"Try me on the statutes; I'm up on
them" Butler shook his head
solemnly. "My young FRIEND" he
said, "I'm afraid you won't do. You
may be ever so familiar with the
statutes, but what is to prevent fool
Legislature from repeating all you

TO BUILD A NEW CONVENT
Sisters of Charity 10 Erect HaRd- some Building on North Fourth Sf.

According to plans now formed work will begin on Monday, January 30 on new three-stCry convent to be erected at the corner of Fourth and Monroe streets by the Sisters of Char ity. The plans, which have been pre- pared by Messrs. Creighton and Schenstrom, contemplate . three story building with the main entrance on Monroe street. The building will be os brick, the basement of granite.
 The first floor will be a half base ment so that it may be as cool as pos aible in the summer. Here will be thu dining room, kitchen, laundry, etc. The second floor will be devoted to music and school rooms, and on the third floor will be dormitories for both sisters and pupils and in the corner will be handsome little chapel. The building will be erected o1 the lot re- gently purchased from John T. Dennis, immediately across Fourth street from the present convent, which will be con Verted into a parochial school The building will be fifty i0y sky feet and the estimated cost is $10,0G0.

PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE
Some Facts Regarding Water
 Works Ownership.
Comparison of inc Present System of Phoenix With That of Baft'e Creek Mich.

A comparison of the rates charged by the Phoenix water works company and those charged consumers in cities in which the water works are under municipal control ought to be suffi- cient argument in favor of the water works and sewer bonds to be voted for next Tuesday. In making such a com parison something besides the appar- ent figures ought in fairness to both the water company and the bonds to be taken into consideration. These are differences in conditions, cost of operating, cost of fuel, difficulty of procuring water, etc. In making comparison between Phoenix and towns in the north and east climatic differences must be considered. In the first place in this climate larger ratio of the resid ents naturally become water users and it is apparent that the great CT the number of persons served with in certain area the less the propor- tionate cost of operating a water works system. In this climate also less care and expense are required in keeping pipes in order. These two circum stances alone weigh greatly against, if they do not wholly offset the great CT cost of fuel in Phoenix.
 Battle Creek, Mich, has been chosen for making such a comparison for sev- eral reasons. The plants are nearly similar in style, capacity, cost of con struction, cost of operating, area GOV cred and number of persons served. The difference in the cost of fuel is no: so great as between Phoenix and other eastern cities.
 This comparison is divided into two parts, one which will especially inter est taxpayers and the other which will interest both taxpayers and consumers.
 Battle Creek is town of about 13,- 900, approximately the population re- siding within the district through which the Phoenix works extend. The water is pumped froza a lake to a stand pipe and is obtained with no greater difficulty than the water used here. The pumps have a capacity of 4,000,000, the

opponents of the bond issue that a
 scheme was afoot, the doctor said: ''Yes, I've heard talk of rings and
 combinations TOT the purpose of de-
 frauding the city, but all this is mere
 talk. We are surely capable of guard
 ing our interests and seeing that we
 are net robbed by unfaithful officials.
 There is always opposition to improve
 mects if much money is to be eX-
 pended and 1 presume it is well that
 such feeling exists, as it serves to
 keep check upon those who are in c1ined to go too far. But, fortunately,
 this sentiment is in the minority and is therefore incapable of doing much harm. There can be no question, it seems to me, of the advisability of the city voting for an issue of bonds to build perfect system of water works"
 pr. Purman then explained the ef- feet of the proposed improvement. Said he: You now pay S30 a year for water Under city ownership you could reasonably expect to obtain a better service for $10. Suppose the increase in taxes on account of the water works should amount to $10, you would still save S10 and would at the same time be applying your share of the taxes toward a final payment for the WO1 hS, dllSI Nu1CI IuS CIIy WOulu ply you with water at nominal rates. This, however, is but one source of profit to the taxpayer. There is the additional fire protection and the in- crease in the value of property in PhOe- nix. l believe an expenditure of S25O,- poo in a water works and sewer system would add million dollars to the value of the real estate Of the city"
 The doctor discussed the proposed sewer system from a sanitary view point. PhoeniX's capital, he said, was its climate and repu ation as a health resort. This reputation could not be much longer with the pres ent inadequate sewer facilities and if that reputation is lost, all is lost Therefore the property owners of Phoenix found themselves confronted by a question of more importance than any that had yet arisen.

Being an old personal friend of Presiden. Lincoln, Col.

Col. PCStOn was also the first delegate to congress from the territory and in our early days did more than any one man to advance the interests of the territory and to at tract capital here. In the whirligig O. time all his fortune has been swept away and now he is nearly at the end of life'S journey without an income Even when granted a pension it would not have to be paid fer very long, as the Colonel has pretty nearly run his race.

A DOCTORS VIEW.
And Also Taxpayers on the Subject
 Of the Water Bonds.


 Since Pcralta-ReaYis threw an imag- mary cloud over the Salt River valley and considerable part of the rest Of Arizona, the property owners Of Phoenix have never been as stirred as they have been within the last two days by the discussion of the water works bond proposition. Many of them believe that an opportunity has come to the city which, if taken ad- vantage of, will constitute an epoch in he city's history. Several heavy tax payers were seen yesterday on the sub ject of it's bonds and most of them said they believed Q failure to vote them would be almost fatal to the material prosperity of Phoenix. Among the taxpayers interviewed was Dr. D. M. Purman. Said he: ''I regard this as the mos momentous question that has arisen since Phoenix was founded. It is something that affects our homes and it should be discussed calmly and d1SpaSSlOnately. The problem will not De solved by one class of citizens call ing another silurians, or by one class charging the other with a purpose to engage in boodling
 There is one question upon which al most all agree and that is that the pres ent water company has failed to meet the requirements which the people have justly expected. Whatever the cause of this may be makes no differ ence. In either case the taxpayers have been the sufferers. The cry about increased taxation is to my mind fanci- full and nClsensical If the city puts in a complete system of water works, as matter of course our taxes will be increased, but the reduction in enc cost of water will De so great in itself as to vastly overbalance any additional tax ation.
 Beside the cost of insurance would be greatly reduced. At the present time. with the exception Of a few blocks in the business district the town is at the mercy CT the most insignifi- cant blaze. The rate of insurance is necessarily very high-in fact, so high that many are kept from bui ding on account of the enormous expense of ob- taining fire protection. This state of affairs should not be continued"
