after few years experience returned to
his rural home TO study law. A. few years
later. when the report OF gold discovery
in California reached New York, Mr.
Phelps abandoned his law studies and
started for California, arriving in San Fran
cisco December "A, 1s49, after passage of
l62 days from Panama, a length OF time
almost equal to the time it would have
required to come by sailing vessel around

the mines and engaged in river mining in
Tuolumne County. Failing, like thousands
of others, to realize his dream of wealth
from the new Ell Dorado, he returned to
San Francisco and embarked in the mercan-
tile business. being moderately successful
until disastrous fire swept over the city
taking away the accumulative earnings of
years of himself and business associates
But with that force and energy which were
such strong traits of his character, he did
not become discouraged. but applied him
self with renewed energy to building up
a new fortune. His public political career
began in 1854. when he ran as a candidate
for the Legislature in company with the
late Colonel E. D. Baker who while a
Senator of the United States from Oregon
gave his life in defense of our country. In
1855 Mr.. Phelps was nominated and elected

SUPERVISORS MANDAMUsED.
Suit Filed to Compel the Auditing o
Jurors Demands

A petition was filed yesterday by Attor-
ney Louis p. Boardman for a writ OF man
date to be directed against the Board of
Supervisors compelling them to audit the
demands of the various jurors who have
been sitting in the criminal departments
of the Superior Court for the past several
months. Under a recent decision of the
Supreme Court defining the status of civil
jurors and holding that they could not
collect fees for sitting in civil cases the
Supervisors found excuse to refuse to
audit the demands OF the criminal jurors.
In consequence they organized, employed
Louis p. Boa-dman TO represent them,
and suit has now been filed.
Many Of the jurors nave been in forced
attendance for many weeks and in con-
sequence have been deprived of moneys
they could have made in their vocat lions.
Heretofore they have been paid 81 n day
and the refusal of the Supervisors to
allow their demands is working a great
hardship. Hence the suit will be pushed
to a final adjudication.

4 LII that was mortal of Timothy
II Guy Phelps, the distinguished
n Californian, whose demise was
a FASTENED by the carelessness Of
bicycle riders, was borne to the grave
yesterday, surrounded by those who
loved and esteemed him. 1he cere-
monies at the home of the deceased
in San Carlos and in the chapel in
peaceful and beautiful Cypress Lawn
Cemetery were of the greatest solem-
nifty
The bier was placed in the front room
and was surrounded with a wealth of
blossoms, sent by thoughtful friends.

the services He opened the latter by
feelingly saying: Friends, neigh
bors and fellow citizens: First of all
as seem to him fitting to the occa-
sion, to the hour and to our senti-
ments'' Senator Perkins, who was a
dear friend of the deceased, then arose
and delivered a eulogy that brought
tears to the eyes of his listeners and
which impressed every one with the
worth of the late Mr.. Phelps. Fol-
lowing is a transcript of his remarks:
Friend after friend departs,
Who has not lost friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here end"
It is as natural to die as it is to he born
and to live. Death enters the palace as
we'll as the cottage. The great and the
learned the philosopher and the peasant
the rich and the poor all must obey it's
command. 1t comes into our social and
business life every day, and some friend
or acquaintance is called to that bourne
whence no traveller returns. Yet we never
become reconciled to its visit. and we can
not understand why this or that friend
should be taken and we left for a time
to struggle on.
We come to-day to pay the last sad trib-
ute of respect to the memory of one who
has contributed much toward develop
ing the resources and building up of our
commonwealth any other pioneer of our
State.

PROGRESSIVE SECTION.

Thei newspapers Lately have had a
great deal to say about the Buckeye
country thirty miles soUdh of Phcs-
nix, and the many advantages that
that locality offered 30 agriculturists-
Granting that all this praise is merit
ed, the fact should net be lost sight OF
that Buckeye is progressive as well as
prosperous. Burtis, the timer, pltmb-
er and windmill man, has lately
broken irsso the Buckeye country and
put up one of his substantial and re
liable windmills for Mr.. James 5.
Day, who is known all over that re-
gion as one Of thu largest and most
prosperous ranohers in this county.
Mr.. Day pastures many hundred head
of stock ths year round, and desiring
a bountiful supply of living water at
the least expense he thought OF
windmill first CT Burtis next Bu-tis
did the trick and that windmill IS al
ready a landmark in the Buckeye. Il
does the work to a charm and Mr.. Day
is highly pleased with it. Burtis says
people are calling fer him from Mesa
to Buckeye, which is a pretty good in
dication that Burgrs is a safe man to
del3l with and that a great many peo-
pie know it.

pretty girls to the square inch than
any where on earth, with the single
exception, of course. of his own home
town. Whether this exception was
made from the standpoint of patrio-
tism and gallantry to the fair ones al
home or is actually based on fact, nc
one but Mr.. Benham will ever know,
but be that as it may, he has thus far
failed to centralize his affections suffi-
GENTLY to desert the green fields and
the freedom of single blessedness.
Leaving Lake Geneva he visited the
big fair at Omaha, where he saw 50
much he did not try to tell about it,
except to say that the Phoenix Indian
school band had made a big hit and
that Professor and Mrs. S. NJ. Nc
Cowan seemed to be universally pop
ular and doing much to enlighten the
public relative to Arizona and her
wonderful resources. Though Arr
zona's exhibit was mostly Indians and
cacti and those thing that naturally
accompany such an exhibit, the terri
tory should feel proud of its repre-
sentatives and its exhibit as far as it
goes.
From Omaha he went to Kansas
City and then over the Texas & Pa
cif1c to Ell Paso. Crossing the river
he spent couple CT weeks in old Mex
leo, going as far south as the City,
which he describes as delightful
place in many respects. He stopped at
almost every town Of any Importance
between FL Paso and the City and
gathered much information that will
be turned into both pleasure and pro-
fit The most interesting place he
visited was Guanajuata, where he
viewed the famous gold mine that has
been worked by the Spaniards and
Mexicans since 1910 and from which it
is said over $900,0O0,0OO in gold has
been taken.
He is well satisfied with his trip.
even though it was an expensive one.
So much so in fact, that he says he
would have been going yet if his
bookkeeper, Mr.. Brizzard, had not in
formed him that the overdraft at the
bank was becoming cumbersome and
hard to handle. He is content now to
remain at home for a while as he is
satisfied that Phoenix is the best place
in the world to live in, all things con-
sidered, though, of course, few
more improvements will not be unbe-
coming, but with a good live board of
trade these things viii soon follow.
One thing he noticed particularly was.
that even when the thermometer
climbs up to high-water mark Phoe-
nicians do not have to attach little
to the headgear of their
horses or keep wet spOnges on thei1
brides to prevent sun stroke, as they
do in many of the eastern places
visited.

PLEASANT SUMNER OUTING
Return of Phoenix Missionary
from Almost Everywhere.

Mr.. ]. w. Benham returned yester-
day from a summer trip of three
months, covering thousands of miles
and every mile filled with enjoyable
incidents, the memory of which will
afford him pleasure for years to come.
On May 23rd ne left for San Francisco,
from there going to Oakland, where a
month was spent in visiting relatives
and renewing the acquaintance of his
earlier life. From Oakland he went to
Seattle, Tacoma and other points along
the sound, where the days passed
rapidly and the weather was delight
full. He then turned his face to the
east, travelling via the Northern Pa
cific and stopping off at all the points
of interest to the curio hunter, both
from the standpoint of buyer and
seller, finally reaching Chicago, the
biggest city in the world fer it's size,
except Phoenix.
From Chicago he went to Lake
Geneva, about q hundred miles north
west in Wisconsin. Everybody in that
part of the country goes to Geneva in
the summer time, and as a resort, it is
accounted among the most famous in
the land. Mr.. Benham while level
headed business man, has ever a
watchfdl eye for the fair sex and says
that at Lake Geneva there are more

n NAN or EXPERIENCE
On the Need of Farmers of The Board
of Trade.

Last spring Mr. B. A. Fowler, who
lad been a prominent business man
in Boston and Chicago for many years,
came to the Salt River valley on a
visit, He was SO well pleased with
his surroundings at the very outset
that he decided to make this his home.
He bought the Thompson ranch near
Glendale and is more and more pleased
the longer he stays that he acted upon
his impulse to become a land owner
Mr.. Fowler was in town yesterday ac-
companied by Mrs. Fowler. He is TAX
ing a deep interest in the board of
trade and believes that farmers ought
to interest themselves in the move
ment which will be as beneficial to
them as to the business men and will
be highly beneficial to all He rea-
Lies by his own experience until he
came here last winter without any
special purpose in view, that this val
ley is not advertised. He is so much of
practical business man that he I'M
derstands that it can never be adj
vertised, unless the movement is
started from within, and that such a
movement can be started only by
such a commercial body as has been
organized.
What we want" said Mr.. Fowler,
sis more people. We hear some times
that there are already too many peo-
pie for the water. But let us have
the people and well have to have
water What we have to have we al
ways get"
Most new farmers, or those I'M
familiar with irrigation, are the most
violent kickers against an Inadequate
water supply. Mr.. Fowler is unique
for new farmer. He says that while
he would like to have had a little
more water, he has not suffered for the
want of ii, and all the time he has
realized that the water company is
not TO blame. He says it has done
the best it could under the circum-
stances, and has done very well.
