NOT THIS YEAR

DiSband.

The Central Driving Associa ton
whose collapse VISA predicted Il week
ago, now shows signs of termination.
Many of ;he members delinquent in
the payment of their dues have come
forward with them. when appraised of
the financial situation of the associa-
ton. There is little danger of a dis
solution now. yet the financial situa.
ton is not as rose. c5lored as abe active

if all the horsemen of Phoenix would
contribute fifty cents a year to Central
avenue. eastern tourists would find
a delightful driveway and the people
at home would have something to en-
joy. If hOrsemen cannot contribute
50 year for membership in the asso-
ciation it is suggested that they pat
roniZe the toll gate occasionally. any
how. Few things in a town advertise
it better than the condition of its
roads. The nature of the soil here re-
quires little more than sprinkling to
keep a good road in good trim through
nearly all months of the year.
Mr.. Rennitt says nov that the assoc
iation is on such basis that if it re-
ceiyes no more encouragement this
summer it will moi dissolve, but will
discontinue the sprinkling. This will
probably be resumed next winter when
another effort will be made to obtain
aid from the board of supervisors.

In many places there are many poor

The recent rains also have had a
good effect on fruit and vegetables.
The process of maturing was suspend

vanished the fruit ripened with re-
doubled quickness This has caused
frequent shipments of cantelopes and
grapes. Five cars have been sent al
ready this week, and the total num-
der for the season, about eighteen eX-
pressed, has been small in proportion
to recent shipments. Besides this,
large freight shipments have been
made frequently, some of them to dis
'tant points. The cantelope season
will close about the first Of the week.

OVERWORK.ED PROTEST.
Economy to Permit Increased Expen-

London, July 2S-Concurrent with
the enormous increase in the eXpendi-
lures by the British government upon
the army and navy word has gone
forth from the treasury to the chiefs
of all civil Departments to exercise the
most rigid economy. This has natur-
ally been interpreted to mean that
economics must be effected at the
cost of the rank and file and the re-
suit is seething discomfort in every
branch of the public service. Every
" here, ms; cad of increasing the staffs
to meet the prodigious and ever
growing amount of business, the addi-
tional burdens are constantly placed
upon the already overworked men and
women until they actually break down
under the strain.
, The greatest scandal is in the post
office, and the workers of that depart
ment are preparing for big confer
ence next month in order to devise
means of bringing the facts. before the
country. Matters are almost as bad
in the inland revenue customs, and
the men are forming an organization
for self-protection and for the informa.
rion of parliament and the public.

Plans for demonstrating The ArI.
IONA Dam.

The Arizona Water companv Will
soon commence to overhaul tbo far
ther end of the Arizona dam. The old
tImbers have been submerged for
about ten years and are showing
signs of decay. Possibly the dam
would hold for three years. but this
IS by no means certain. Contractors
mere are figuring on the price of re-
construction and when definite Dlans
are completed work will begin. To do
this work will require about 100000
feet Of Oregon pine timbers. The

A bountiful supply of water is flow

the Arizona Canal company, says the
INDICATIONS for water this summer are
especially encouraging. A much
larger supply elf water has been Sc
cured during July of this year than in
last, and the supply is as great or.
greater than it has been in the cor
responding month of several years
preceding. If the company had no

brothers who assassinated C. L. Aims

trying to get all the reward Of
fered for the capture of the Halder-
mans without showing good reason
why he should have it. AS soon as
the pursuit of the Haldermans was be-

The chase was carried into New
Mexico, where the trail of the fugi-
tives was lost. Sheriff White organ
lied three posses there and paid the
expenses of alb of them, fifteen men.
Philips, a deputy sheriff living at
Lordsburg, wanted to take part in the
chase. Sheriff White sent Sid Mullen,
his Office deputy, an officer named Ep-
ley, and Philips to Duncan in this
territory. He furnished money for
all expenses. Striking the trail near
Duncan this posse followed it up the
river and effected the physical capture
of the fugitives. When they got back
to Lordsburg with the prisoners Phil
fps began clamoring for the reward
which had been offered in the mean
time, and threatened to throw OBJ
stacles. IN the way of the removal OF
the prisoners to Arizona. White, who
had been absent from home a week,
was anxious to return as soon as pos
sible. Though he had already spent
more than $500 in the chase, at the
risk, until the capture was made, of
losing it all; he cared nothing for the
pardon money, but intended to dis
tribute it among those who had as
sisted him. Notwithstanding he was al
ready paying his own regular and
special deputies by the day for their
services. In order to get rid of Phil !
ips the sheriff entered into a written
agreement with him to pay him $3.50 |
as soon as the territorial reward was
paid. In due course the sheriff made |
regular application for the reward. !
"A few days ago he received a nervy |
letter from Philips asking him to |
the application and let the |
reward be sent to him at Lordsburg |

him for a settlement. He also wanted |

be turned over to his deputies. Then |

Berlin. July 2S.-The court of ap-
peaIs on taxes has decided that the
iadies-in waiting of the Prussian court
are domestic servants. a lady resid-
ing in Dresden appealed against tie
income tax on the ground that she
had already paid it 20 the Saxon gov
eminent. The supreme court found
that the right to tax the incomes of
retired Prussian civil officials, ire
spective of nationality or residence,
could not be applied to the pensions
of ladies' n-waiting. according to the
Prussian law, under the schedule of
common servants
This, decision has caused consider
able amusement. as the ladies are in
yariably members of the most aflstO"
cratic families in the country. The
question arises whether the reSula-

ers the right of corporal correction OF
servants. applies in the cases OF these
