possible counted the chances agairot lin. He even made provision against the worst. He resolved that he would never leave the road; if he did not reach Verde. his body would be found on the way tlere. He even went into the ghastly de tail of taking $50 from his pocket and putting it in,o the lining of his hat, intending when the worst came to lay his hat in the road and crawl off a long distance from it so that when the coyotes or other wild beasts tore his body and clothes to pieces, persons travelling that way would find thc hat and thus learn to whom the sea. tered bones and frag- ments of cloth had belonged.
 But MT. Wilson's resolution and foreth5ght carried him irso Verde, where he arrived on Saturday night. The next morning he set out on horse back for the hunting camp under the direction of a guide. He got in on Sunday night. His companions had had one day more of anxiety than he.
 THE EXPEDITION A FAIL IRE.
 As a hunting trip which had been planned for months and which had been preceded by careful preparation and expense. there was never a more egregioUs failure than this eXpedi- tion. Messrs. Wilson and James start ed two months ago, George Lyke hay ing gone overland some time before with a wagon laden with supplies and ammunition. pr. Wylie exp cted to join the party at Flagstaff a few days '-"er. He did meet them there, but was immediately called away to Los Augelss by the serious illness of his wife. He later joined the party at the Grand canyon and after a short stay there the real hunting trip was begun. The hunters travelei as rapidly as pos sible into the Clear creek country, which was the first good hunting region on the route. They spent three or four Gays in a survey of the country and then the Wilson episode occurred. That occupied the attention f the hunters for the next four days and nights and everybody was so tired that there was TO thought of anything but rHst for the next four days There was some desul- tory hunting of deer. A few were killed and one fawn was captured by Rev. pr. Wylie's bird dog which proved to tc d better deer hunter than the reg ularly employed hou..ds.
 When the camp was broken up Messrs Wilson, Jam-;5 and Lyke left for Camp Apache with a pack animal They will return to Phoenix about October l. Dr. Wylie came in on horse back by the way of Mt. Reno.

THE FOREST RESERVE
Commissioner Hermann's Late Visit
 of Inspection.

Governor Murphy returned yesterd y morning from the Grand Canyon, to which he had accompanied Commits sioner Hermann of tn general and office and Congressman Waters of California. MT, Hermann's visit was not one of pleasure. but was undertaken for an in vestigation of matters touching the forest reserves and the grazing of stock upon them. It is MT. Hermann's $ de- sire to dispose of these questions in a manner which will serve the interests of the greatest number of persons inter ested in them. The subject of the harmfulness of grazing under certain restrictions is yet an open one. as are most of those concerning the relation Cf forests to the water supply. The diff culty the government has encountered in the matter of the location of reserves isl one of which comparatively few people are aware, the railroad land grants. The Santa Fe Pacific railroad owns grants consisting of alternate sec tions for forty miles on each side of the road. In addition to this there is d lieu line of ten miles. making alternate sections of fifty miles south of the rail- road. covering d considerable area of what the government desires to put into a forest reserve. which would be upon a watershed of the Salt River val ley. The government has no control of these railroad grants, which embrace SOO,O00 acres of timber. The govern ment might make reserves of it's alter nate sections, but it would have to fence them. and even then it could not deny the owners of adjoining sections access for the purpose of crossing them. MT. Hermann some time ago suggested that the railroad company release its lands to the government and accept in lieu either scrip or gov ernment land in other parls of the country. A considerable area of the railroad land has been sold to the lUm- Der companies. which have, beside, bought stumpage on other railroad land. The railroad siEniied it's willing ness to make an exchange. but it was supposed that the willingness extend ed only to worthless areas which had been Ienudsd ci timber. The company though. finally agreed to exchange the whole of the sec, eco acres it owns on terms which have net yet been agree upon. An inspection of these lands was one of the objects of MT. Her manns visit.
 Until such an arrangement has been completed the government can nzver control an area which it is desired to incorporate into the reservation which the commissioner has under consider alton.
 MT. Hermann did not express his views on the subject of grazing. That matter has been left to a commission

IU EVOLVE A PLAN
Out of the Many For Procuring a
 Water Supply.

Every farmer business man, every property owner, every owner of homa and every man who by chance or ne es- sity is making the Salt River valley his home, looks forward to tomorrow with confidence. He expects that the meet ing at Doris theater will result in d specialization of all the plans for TrD- curing a permanent water supply, into one. The future of the valley depend : in a great measure upon the result of that meeting. If it should break up with all the existing plans still in the air there will be little hope of obtain ing water storage within the present generation.
 The subject has lately been agitated as it was never agitated before and never before have farmers and others been more thoroughly convinced by loss and disaster of the absolute necessity of water storage. If a practicability Oi plans cannot be agreed upon now after a fair and earnest discussion there can be no agreement within the lives of the present inhabitants of the valley. None of the plans which have been sug- gested are wholly bad and it may be said that none are " u'llE lltdl. All dDS'lultlN lt. LSN l plan is not the thing sought, however desirable it might be. What is wanted is a perfect water supply. The call is as follows:
 Believing there is argent need of some action in regard to a better sup ply of irrigating water for the Salt River valley, and having faith that much can be accomplished by concert ed action of the citizens of Maricopa county. q meeting is hereby called by the residents of said county to be held at Doris theater at 10 o'clock a. m., Friday, August 3l. for the free and open discussion of ways and means for pro VidinS a better water supply, for irri- gating in said county. Said meeting to be in the sole interest of the peup'e. Everybody who has the best interests of M4ricopa county at heart is earnest ly requested to be present and express his views on the subject.

A MCKINLEY CLUB
A Large and Promising Organization
 of Colored Men.

Acting upon the call of a committee, a large number of the colored men of Maricopa county met at the city hall last night and organized a Mckinley and Roosevelt republican club.
 Frank Shirley called the meeting to order. William P. Crump was e.ected temporary chairman and Howard Green temporary secretary. A tempo rary roll showed thirty-nine present, who declared their intention of joining the club.
 J. w. Bolton, as chairman of the com mittee on constitution presented draft which was adopted by sections. The second article of the constitution says: ''The purpose of this club is to aid in disseminating republican doctrines and principles and to aid the county centra! committee in keeping MaricOpa county solidly in the republican column"
 MT. Crump said in his opening re- marks that those present had not come there as ''bolters." but by their action to register manly protest aganst an unfairness and an injustice. He sug- gssted that while the Good Book saj1 ::How blessed 1t was for brethren to dwell in unity" it also said When they persscute you in one city flee ye to an other" After a large number of men had expressed their reasons for joining the new club they proceeded to the cleo ton of officers From the remarks of all the speakers it was gathered that their main grievance~was the refusal of the Douglas club to accord to a major ity their legal and proper rights. Some expressed the opinion that two clubs among their people would have a tend ency to stir them to greater eXeItions in behalf of the republican ticket.
 William J. Anderson was elected president. Henry Davis vice-presideIt, William P. Crump secretary. Howard Green assistant secretary. J. w. Bolton treasurer, B. Jacobson, sergeant-at- arms, and w. w. MOulton chaplain. The last two were not considered abso- lutely necessary by some, but to be prepared for eventualities they were chosen.
 The members are Frank Shirley w. J. Anderson, F. P. Polk, Henry Davis, Elias Cook, William P. Crump Howard Green. J. A. Lewis. J. w. Bolton. B. Jackson, J. A. Green, Theodore Thomas. W. w. Moult m.

GOLDEN RULE COMPANY.

The Golden Rule copper company is said to be meeting with success in the development of their claims in the Old Hat mining district. One of the parties interes ed in rh c laims. speaking of the development made by Capt. J. D. Burgess. said: At fifteen feet depth in the Panama shaft we have six feet Of ere which samples the whole width of the vein as far as uncovered-2ST ounces of silver. $11.50 gold, eight per cent cOper and 1,hirty per cent lead. Capt. Burgess is sinking three double compartment shafts and is grading for a. concentrating plant, which, with this remarkable showing of values, will soon be installed and set in operation giving to Tucson another prosperous mining camp to supply, all of which means much to Us. Great credit is due Capt. Burgess for the energy displayed In opening up such a goo1 and prom ising property-for now days no matter how much merit property has it takes great effort and ability to interest cap ital-and this Capt.

which has gone over the ground care fully and whatever action is taken will be made on its report When the ques- tion was first raised MT. Hermann fav- ored the exclusion of all stock from the reserves and such an order was issued, though it has since been temporarily modified.
 There is one thing which will be d setback u many who have been advocating an eXten- sion or establishment of a reserve south of the railroad on a watershed of the Salt River valley and that is a conces- sion made on the recommendation of the division of forestry, permitting ma ture trees to be cut from government land. The cutting away of forest trees is pOpularly supposed to have the eff feet of reducing precipitation. The di- vision says the trees have nothing to do with it.

ART OF TALKING WELL.

It is better to be frankly dull than pedantic.
 One must guard ones self from the temptation of talking shop" and of riding ones hobby"
 Whatever sets one apart as d capital T" should be avoided.
 \ joke or humorous story is depend cnt upon it's freshness for appreciation. Some emotions will not bear warm ing over.'
 It is no longer considered good form to say a word against any one. An ill natured criticism is social blunder. Gossip, too. is really going out of fash ion.
 True wit is a gift. not an attainment. Those who use it alright never yield tp the temptation of saying anything that can wound another in order to exhibit their own cleverness. It is natural and spontaneous. He who runs after Wit is apt to catch nonsense"
 Talk that has heartiness in it and the

liveliness and sparkle that comes of light heartedness and innocent gayety is a fairly good substitute for wit.
 Offer to each one who speaks the homage of your undivided attention. Look people in the face when you talk to them
 Talk of things. not persons. The best subject for wisdom is silence.
 Have convictions of your own. Be yourself and not a mere echo.
 Never ask leading questions. We should show curiosity about the con- cerns of others only so far as it may gratify them to tell us.
 Draw out your neighbor without cate chising him. Correct him. if necessary. without cOntradicting him. Avoid mannerisms.
 Strive to be natural at ease. The nervousness that conceals itself under affected vivacity should be controlled. as should the loud laugh.-Mrs. Burton kingsland in the Ladies' Home Jour nal.

a part of it. He reasoned that time might come when he would be hungrier.
 The next morning he set out again with the object of finding the Flagstaff road. To find the camp would then be easy. He shot a squirrel, cooked and ate half of it, and carried the rest with him. At length he came to a place where he seemed to be hemmed in on all sides by unscalable walls. He had travelled so long that he was afraid he might not be able to find his way back to the place where he had en- tered the canyon; beside, he did not want to camp in the same place so often, fearing he would wear out his welcome. He found COW signs and req soned that cattle having been there must have got out. He followed the signs into a well developed trail and round his way out He had eaten the other ehalf of the squirrel, and that evening he shot another, but shot half of it away. He ate the rest greedily
 THE SUFFERING BEG4N,S.--
 To this point MT. Wilson had been reasonably comfortable. He had not permitted himself to get scared. He had water in the canyon and food though not in great quantity and va riety. He would have been uncom- fortable if he had known that he would neither eat nor drink within the neXt twenty-four hours. This was Friday night. On Saturday morning Mir Wilson came upon a road which he be lieved was the Flagstaff rord. He travelled along it until he came to q signboard which informed him that il was twenty miles to Verde. He knew then that he was net on the Flagstaff road. He made up his mind to gC t2 Verde. There were people and water and life there. Every other direc ton 90 far as he was concerned led into the vast unknown, into eternity and death.
 He was cl gar headed enough tu doubt whether he could reach Verde, for his hunger ard thirst had become terrific. He tried co shoot a COW, but was sJ weak he could not aim accurately. He then started in a m cthodical way upon his doubtful journey. He resolved to save his strength and keep dC wn dangerous longing for water by resting twenty minutes of every hour. After a while he felt the weight of his use less gun, and hiding it by the roadside, he carved his name upon a. tree near by, carved under it the word, Gun" and an index fng"r pointing to the place where it was hidden. After while the deadliness of his thirst began to oppress him. He began to se2 strange things at the roadside and was inclined to break into d run for somewhere, he did not know. But ha restrained himself and during his rest ing spells forced himself to think of pleasanter things than .hirst on an Arizona desert. He resolved to waste no time hunting fJr water. He had no time to waste, for his hours were few unless he got Ito Verde. He saw more and more things and though he had no thought of giving up, he fully under stcGd his danger and as accurately as

We do not think that it has been proved be- yond a reasonable dOubt-Or proved al all-that Powers planned for or coun- seled the crime. w have no doubt that perjury had an innings on the George town witness stand. and that offer of S100,OOO for c-nvicting 'testimony--aken in connection with the antecedznt his tory and the court room showing of the states eVidence-creates pre- sumption as to the side on which the bulk of tha perjury was committed. Can it be said that Powers had an inn partial trial when the judge, the pub lie prOssc scu,Cr, the sheriff and two thirds of tire jury were his political en- emies. and when the whole atmosphere of the court room was hot with polit- ical passion? The fact tha- the one re- publican juror and the three jurors who were John Young Brown demo- crats last year cCncurred in the yer dict, and did so without any Ing dis cUssion in the jury rom should have the weight that justly belongs to it, but the other fact that the eight Go=- belite jurors were equally ready to send Powers to states prison instead of the gallows should no, be overlooked. It would seem to indicate a lurking dOubt in the back of their minds
 The chances are, We should say. that Powers will not serve out his life sen tence. We wish the state of Kentucky a happy deliverance from all of her troubles. They are of her own making, though. and she must be her own de- liverer-Hartf5r 5rd COurant

 It is an unexpected verdict. The Ken tuckians wh5 listened to it in the Georgetown court room last Saturday showed their surprise in Their faces. We hear. The prevalent impression had been that the jury would report a dis agreement. Is it a just verdict? Was Powers an accessory to the murder of William Gcebel? Did he personally pro- cure the firing f the fatal shot, or have Q guilty knowledge that it was to ha- fired? We don't know and We don't believe the jurors know. Undoubtedly Taylor and Powers and the ether re- ppbliCans in possession of the state offices at ths time the murder was committed did an imprudent, ill-advised thing when they brought the armed moutaileers to Frankfort. It is just as certain that there are large excuses to be made for thsir error.

The Tucson Star has information that one of the Burlsigh miners at the ex- posed Reef in the Huachucas became dissatisfied and demanded his pay. Not getting it at once he got his shot gun and held up the officers. He marched three of thsm, including Mark Walker Jr., for mile and a half al the muzzle of his gun. from the works to the camp and got his pay.
 Another intoxicated miner assaulted a foreman, knocking him down, tramp ing upon and nearly killing him. Both of the men were arrested and nearly the entire camp had to come to Tomb- stone in connection with the case.
