WATER STORAGE MEETING
A Busy Day and Adjournment Taken
 to Thursday Night.

There was fair attendance at the meeting of the water storage general committee yesterday and both forenoon and afternoon sessions were held. After the transaction of some routine business matters, approval of bills, etc, a telegram was read from MT. S. M. McCowan. dated Feb. Sth. saying that matters concerning the forest reserve looked favorable to him.
 The first subject of general interest brought before the committee was that of a fund Tor the purpose of the bed rock borings now in progress. It was stated that the government had agreed to spend ten times as much for that work as would be raised in the valley and it was the sense of the committee that at least $1500 ought to be ap- propriated for that purpose by the board of supervisors. But under the law they cannot see their way clear to make such an appropriation. A com mittee was finally appointed to confer with the supervisors and have drafted a bill to be introduced in the legis- lature giving the supervisors the auth ority to make such appropriations as they may deem advisable for that work.
 Mir. Fowler read a telegram from Geo. H. Maxwell saying that he would visit Phoenix after congress adjourns.
 Prof. McClatchie read letters from Elwood Mead and J. w. Woolf relative to the irrigation bill prepared by the subcommittee and based on the WyOm- ing law. A letter was was also read from Director True saying that MT. tad would be too busy to come here til after the legislature has ad- journed.
 Letters were read, as well, giving the opinion of MT. Mead Colonel Herring and Judge Stilwell on the irrigation bill. This was a partial report of Prof. McClatchie who was instructed at the last meeting to enter upon this cor respondence. MT. Maxwell had not been heard from yet on this subject.
 After considerable discussion of the irrigation bill motion by MT. Mes senger prevailed that the bill be recom- mitted to the subcommittee and that they be instructed to draft a bill for the appointment of a state engineer along the lines suggested by Mir. Mead to Mir. Fowler in letters received some time ago.
 Adjournment was taken to Thursday morning, Feb. IA, at 9 o'clock.

TAKING OF THE TOWN
Visit of the California Press Asso-
 citation.

Phoenix surrendered to an invading army from California yesterday. Even the legislature was led away captive and much ordinary business was sus- pended between the hours of 10 a. m. and D. m. when the invaders returned the keys of the city in exchange for the good wishes of it's inhabitants and pro ceeded to the conquest of other towns. Eighty members of the California Press association and a dozen of their guests, who left san Francisco on February 10th to attend the Mardi Gras festivities a. New Orleans as guests of the Southern Pacific, stopped here. Preparations had been made for their reception and they were met at the M. X r. depo; by a committee of representatives of the local press who showed them about the city
 They visited the legislature about noon and both houses adjourned in their honor. There was reception of half an hour, after which the visitors returned to the city and many of them went to the Indian 'schOOL On thelr r.curn a luncheon was served at the Hotel Adams at which the guests be- side the guests of honor were Governor Murphy. Chief Justice Street, Secre- tary Akers. the ms smbers of the legis- lature and directors of the board of trade and renresensatives of the city press.
 The menu was:
 IpiD.p Sandwich

 French Pear
 Filet of Beef. a r AngIais String Beans Brown Potatoes
 Punch Ambricotine
 Dressed Turkey with Cranberry Sauce
 Lobster Salad with Mayonnaise Icc Cream Cake
 Coffee
 The luncheon was somewhat hurried since the California guests had only two more hours at their disposal and wanted to crowd a great ueal of sight seeing into it.
 Colonel McCord, president of the
 
 toastmaster and in a very short and well-worded speech extended a welcome to the visitors. He mentioned the many places of interest in the valley which all Phoenix desired that they might sec if their time would permit and regretted that it would not.
 Mr. Pennycook responded very feel ingly referred to the hospitality that had been extended to the eXcursionists on every hand during the day He said that he had been on many similar excursions but had never been better received than in Phoenix and he added that he voiced the sentiments of the whole party in his remarks.
 Governor Murphy made good speech in response to the subject The Mutual Relations of California and Arizona" He said that California was known as the greatest of states and he hoped and believed that in dut time Arizona would be known as. neXi to California. the greatest of states He referred to the fact that in he days of civil strife the California column had saved Arizona to the union and he called upon the press of California tC give its assistance now to Arizona, IL her struggle for state hood.

of a weak treaty of alliance that

Several times the little settlement
atsCarlisle was thrown into wild
alarm by the sudden rush of ter

stockaded fort against ravening
bands ofIndians, and once swirl

savage torch had been applied to
an outlying cabin and shortly
after the scalped and bleeding
corpse of the pioner was brought
in by a detachment of soldiers
sent to investigate. When the
corn was ripe and ready for the
harvest a little settlement of Ger
mans and Irish on the banks of
the Juniata north of Carlisle was
utterly destroyed by an Indian
raid and the inhabitants were
slaughtered in their cabins as
they slept Even the rigors Of
a severe Pennsylvania winter did
not deter the desperate and relent-
less savages from committing &C
casiOnal hostile acts and skulking
about in small bands for the pur-
pose OF devastation.
Late one cold and clustering
night of that December the &C.
cupants of a farmhouse on the
road from Carlisle to the Susque

awful war-whoop and after a vain
resistance were overcome by a
party of twelve young braves and

Our two friends pushed leisure

for rest and refreshments at farm
houses along the road, and the
affection and admiration of each
for the other grew as the days
passed. Sammy Johns nara

be, his bits of shrewd philoso-
ply and his descriptions Of the
country to which they were
bound were irresistably attrac-
tive to his young protege. The
farms became less numerous and
the road showed less indications
of travel as the Delaware was
left farther behind and one day,
during a warm misty rain. turn
in the path around the jutting
foot of a hill suddenly revealed
little stockaded fort in the mid
die of a clearing surrounded by
dense forest. Here warm well
come was waiting Sammy John
and a klnd reception was given
Angus. The fort was held by
an English captain and fourteen
soldiers, whose red coats, stub
bornly adhered to against the
advice of the more experienced
provincial officers, made them
conspicuous marks in the contests
with the Indians. The two way
farers settled down for a good
rest while waiting for the little
pack train to come up, and Angus
saw and heard much that was In

was soon a great favorite with
all the inhabitants of the fort.

The reader may as well be in

her boy and that as hope grad
ually left her so did her strength
and at the very time of the journ-
ey now related she passed beyond
the dark river to meet him or
await his coming, she knew not
which. The father had already
exhausted his means in an una
vailing search for his son and had
been reduced to the extremity OF
taking employment as a shepherd
on the moors. He received the
letter. Angus wrote from Philadel-
phia and answered it, writing ten
derly of the mothers death, but
the answer never reached the son
nor did the father ever again hear
from the wanderer, for within
two years he succumbed to the
exposure incident to his unaccus-
toned occupation and died one
stormy night all alone in his lit
tie bothie. When Angus learn
ed these facts years later he
abandoned forever his long
cherished design to return to
Scotland, but so soon as he was
able to do so he engaged the
pastor of the village church to
erect a fitting stone at the graves
of his parents. where it may yet

This may also be fitting place

miserly habits grew upon him so
that his business fell away and

CHAPTER V.
BRADDOCK'S DEFEAT.

When the long clustering win
ter at last broke away and the
warmth of spring began to steal
over the land the mind of Sam
my John was disturbed with a
plan that he knew not how to
effect. The certainty that war
was about to come between Eng
land and France weighed upon
him heavily, for he felt that his
services were due his king and
he was conscientious in his pat
riotism as in everything else,
but he knew not how to dispose
of his young ward. He knew
that he could sell his business
and ne was willing for his coun
trys sake to postpone his purpose
of returning permanently to the
coast colonies, but be could see
no way to leave the boy safely in
the west and it was impossible to
send him to strangers in the
east.
1t was clearly impracticable to
take the youngster into the mill
tary campaigns that he proposed
for himself. Besides. he could
not contemplate with calmness
the prospect of a separation from
his young friend, especially in
view of the uncertainties that
war involved.
While he yet brooded over his
perplexing problem came the
news from over the mountains
on the south that General Brad
dock had taken command OF all
the British forces in America
and was preparing for a descent
upon Du Quesne, where the
French We're fortified at the
union of the two rivers forming
the Ohio. Then it became known
that the Indians were. gathering
to support the French in main
tanning the line of forts from Du
Quesne to Presque' Isle and that
the French were reinforcing
the threatened posts. Quickly
came the further Intelligence
that Braddock was in need of a
body of provincial troops, In adj
dition to the. regulars he had
brought from England, and that
Major Washington, an unknown
young Virginian, was to COM
mand them. These forces were
already gathered at Willis Creek,
on the upp Potomac, where
the raw backwoodsmen were to
be bent and twisted into some
sort of discipline resembling that
of the solid regulars. At Car
Isle the talk was of nothing out
the war and Braddoek's expedi-
ton. Many of the younger men
started at once to Join it or de-
clared their intention of doing
so and it was expected that the
garrison at the fort would be or
dered into the field, leaving the
inhabitants to protect themselves
while the hostile Indians were
with the French.
