 his mother for the first time in over thirty-five years and incidentally a

 EARLY MENTS-Another meeting of the Farmers Cooperative and Protective association was held in the city yesterday afternoon. at which further progress was made Tn the or ganization against the Arizona Water company. Just what was done at the meeting has not been given out, but 1t is understood that there will be devel- opments of some character today. There will also be another meeting to- Gay. The winter water season began yesterday; it in fact began two weeks ago. but in consequence of the order re- gently adopted by the company in the matter of the decision to not recognize rented water rights the company eX- tended the summer season to October l. The object of the delay was psrhaps tO give the water users time to adjust themselves to the new conditions NJ adjustment has taken place. but on the contrary the farmers are more strongly against the order than they were at the beginning. Persons from the Arizona canal country who were in town yesterday to buy winter water report a state of dissatisfa under that canal on account of raise IT price of water of twenty y-five cents au acre.
 CIRCUS PASSWORDS.-Nsa Nsarly all observing persons know something of the organization and methods of circus mana cement. There is scarcely a per son, though. who does not learn som=- thing new every time they see circus. about the way those huge enterprises thing new every time he sees a circus, management was explained the other day by one who knows. and it will be interesting to many who have wonder ed how the bosses, hiring and dischars- ing men every day. have a Knowledge of who is working for them and who is not. And il is often wondered by many how those in charge or the circus trains know who is entitled to ride on them, how they protect th emselves from hobos and people who seek pas sage from one town to another. These things are all arranged by a password Each car or section of cars is in charg@ of boss and a password is given 10 his men each day. This password is sacred. or is supposed to be. The men are not allowed to tell it to each eth TT. If a man is discharged on the arrival of a train in one town he is left there. for the reason that the password is before the circus makes an other move and every man on the roll is given it by the boss over him. The password is therefore his ticket. This rule is probably violated. as all rules are. but in the main il is ample pro- tection.
