AN UNEMPLOYED EDEN
Empire Land and Water Co.'S Big
 Enterprise.

Messrs. John Mcbride. Earl Van Kirk, F. w. Dorn and Henry Behrens have returned from an extensive trip in southern California between Salton and the international line. The object of their trip was to make a personal inspection of the lands proposed to be irrigated by the Empire Land and Water cOmpany's ditch now in course of construction, as well as the proba bility of their being able to furnish a never failing supply. The gentlemen are prosperous Salt River valley farm CTS and while they have lost no faith in this valley it occurred to them that they might some day want more farms in another good country, So they com bined business, pleasure and d search for information and beginning at the canal head followed the line of the proposed ditch its entire length.
 The canal heads about ten miles be- low Yuma and a short distance north of the line. The Ene goes southwest till it crosses the boundary, then west for a long distance, then north again into California and into an area forty miles across it to SaFton, nearly all of which is good i:rigable land, or will be when the ditch is constructed. The canal when finished will be sixty-one miles long and water an area of hund- reds of thousands of acres.
 The first thing about d canal is it's water supply. In tEis instance it will be never failing or at least not until the Colorado dries up. The next thing to be considered is the head. The head of the Empire ditch will be cut through a small granite bluf that faces the river, hence it can never wash out. No dam will be needed as the river makes turn at this point and the canal head will be on the concaVc side of the turn in the river so the water will run into
 it without artificial diversion.
 The head, however. will not be con- structed till after some portion of the canal has been built. Just below the granite hill big dry wash runs par allel with the river, then west for a long distance and 1t is proposed to util- iZe this a a anal bed. A cut has been made from the river into the wash be- low the granite hill. the water turned i'll and big dredger is now engaged in turning the wash into an immense ir- rigating canal.
 NIr. Mcbride says the enterprise is q hug one and will take million dol lars to carry it out, but when it is finished, so far $ he cln nov judge. it will be a brilliant success. EIe says the management expects to have water on to irrigable land by January 1, but if it don't get there for year later it will still be a successful undertaking and if the company can get 1he cana ,T1a in accomplished a hercuiean task. So faI as he can judge, and he has had con- siderable experillce in this valley, the

BOARD OF TRADE
Important Matters Discussed at Last
 Nights Meeting.

The regular meeting of the board of number of the directors was present. Considerable business of a routine ra ture was transacted. Letters were read from Senators Shoup and w. A. Clark assuring the board of their hearty CO., operation in securing the apportion- ment of some of the government appro- priation for measuring the streams of the country, to be applied on the Verde and Salt rivers.
 The question of the greatest import ance that was considerably discussed was the preparation of a new charter for the city. While Phoenix has grown in many respects far beyond the ex- pectation of the citizens, it is a note worthy fact that her charter is ancient, and the board real izing it's responsibility to its members as an organizat tion to ad vance the city's interest in every way has taken the matter up and at an early date will take some decisive ac- tion.
 The directors were pleased to note the early arrival of tourists this year and as several who have come here for their health were induced to do so through the efforts of the secretary on his trip east last summer. it showed very plainly that the advertising of the board done during the past year has resulted in great benefit to the town, and for this reason, if nothing else, the citizens should rally to its support and sustain it in all it's under takings. The directors are all broad minded men, looking to the interest of every section of the county. and the splendid record it has made as an or ganization during the past year cer- tainly should command the support of every business man and farmer in the valley.

THE CITY COUNCIL
Came Within One of Banishing Street
 Lunch Counters.

A special meeting of the city council business begun at the regular meeting the night before. That having been disposed of a stranger presented a pe- tition for permit to establish waffle stand in front of the National Bank of Arizona and run it daily after banking hours. The consent of the bank people had been secured for this arrangement The permission was not only not granted, but the discussion came with in one vote of resulting in the removal of all the lunch stands now on the street and the adoption of a regulation prohibiting any within the life of the present council. Councilmen Sanders and McNeil were opposed to stands as as unsghtly nuisanceS. Councilman Fickas chartably tolerated them, but Acting Mayor Dyer earnestly pleaded for them, pleading a the same time for his own existence. He said that for twelve years these stands had con- stantly loomed up between him and starvation in the regular restaurants.
 The motion to prohibit the stands having failed by a tie vote, Council man McNeil moved that the waffle per init be denied. The motion was lost by the same vote. A motion to grant it was similarly lost. The applicant con fused by this unusual parliamentary procedure, thanked the council For it's kindness. He was not so thankful when the record was explained to him. His case, however. had been merely dismissed without prejudice.
 J. T. Dunlap came before the council in the matter of the safe of two lots, one owned by him and ithe other by L. W. Coggins, to the city fer an cXten- sion of the proposed corporation yard at Seventh avenue and Jefferson street. The owners of tn hese lots had asked $650 had paid for the three lots bought couple of months ago. Both gentle men believed that their lots were worth more than that or had been worth more until the city undertook to establish corral next door. MT. Dunlap finally said he would sell out for $500. which seemed to be the prevailing price for corral property, but MT. Coggins was standing out for $65O. The council concluded that the corral property was big enough to meet the present needs of the city and that by the time more room was needed MT. Coggins would be so tired of his proximity that he could be dealt with reasonably.
 A permit was given J. w. Ambrose

WAR ON WOMEN.
81. Louis Mob Maltreats n Young Lady
for Riding on n street Car
Clothing Torn on.

st. Louis, June 4.-Christine There,
IS years old, Sunday was set upon by
a crowd of about 1000 men simply be-
cause she had ridden on a car of the
st. Louis Transit company. She was
on the way to spend the day with her
mother. She is servant. The dis
lance was too far to walk and get
back to her employers by night. She
took a street car. When she alighed
at Ninth street and Geyer avenue at
five p. m. from Cherokee car she was
approached by young man who
called her ''scab." Others joined in
the chorus. There was kissing and
hooting which grew into perfect
STORM as the mob closed in about her.
A young man tore off her jacket and
another her hat. She was struck by
the fists of men and bruised about the
face and body. A pocket book which
she carried in her hand was snatched
away and the money taken.
The young woman begged piteously
for mercy and big fist struck her in
the mouth. She pleaded that she was
working girl but this had no effect
to stem the blows. Piece by piece her
clothing was torn away until she was
nude. She fled from the bowling mob
of men and finally ran to house on
the corner. She appealed for admit
lance, but the people were afraid the
mob would tear down the house, and
refused her admittance. She WENT to
the place next door, but no one came.
She reached an alley and ran down it,
followed by the hooting men. There
Nwas little window leading into eel
lar. She broke the glass and jumped
in and covered in n corner in the dark
ness. Finally her prosecutors went
away. Then she called for help and
received it, finally being taken to her
employers in Dalmar boulevard.
AT 1916 South Twelfth street another
incident of the same kind occurred
Stella Frederick got off car only to
be assailed and hooted by mob. Her
jacket was torn from her by men. She
ran down an alley and into the home
of Mrs. Folke, and the mob surrounded
the house and began throwing stones
through the windows. Mrs. Folke got
n big revolver and opened fire on the
mob from her front window and the
men scattered.

HEROES HONORED.
Monument tn Union and Confederate
Soldiers Dedicated on Battle
field of Antietam.

Hagerstown, Nd, May 31.-An-
other link in the chain which binds
together the once warning factions
of the north and south was forged
Wednesday by the dedication of a
monument erected to the memory Of
men who wore the gray as well a.
those who wore the blue and who
died in mortal combat on the bloody
field of Antietam. The event, which
is probably without parallel in the
history of the world, was graced by
the presence of the president of the
United States, accompanied by many
members of his cabinet; score or
more of United States senator's, thrice
as many members of congress, the
governor of Maryland and prominent
men from all parts of the country.
The dedicatory ceremonies were
opened by Col. Benjamin f. Tay-
Douglass, director of ceremonies.
Prayer was offered by Rev. d. +. Clark
son, who was followed by Gov. John
Walter Smith in an address of welcome.
Col. Taylor, as president of the An
tietam battlefield commission of Mary
land, then presented the monument to
the national government, and Hon.
Elihu Root, secretary of war, in a brief
address accepted it on behalf of the
United States. Then followed short
addresses, mainly of a reminiscent
character, by Gems. John B. Brooke,
James Longstreet, Orlando b. Wilcox,
j. f. Duryee, Senators Foraker, Bur-
rows, Daniel and others who were
prominent on the opposing sides in the
great struggle. These were followed in
turn by Hon. George b. Mcclellan, of
New York, and other members of the
United States senate and house of rep
resentatiyes. This concluded, the band
played Hail to the Chief" and Gen.
Douglass introduced President McKin-
ley, who delivered the address of the
day.
Manila, May 31.-Memorial day was
