COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Times for Holding Primaries and Con
 vention to be Fixed Tcday.

A meeting of the democratic county central committee will be held at ONeill hall at 10 o'clock this morning
 for the purpose of fixing the time of holding the primaries and the county convention. The matter of representa- ton in the county convention will also likely come up for consideration. Hitherto for the convenience of voters living remote from voting precincts representation has been allowed school districts and mining camps. and some times primaries have been held in
 camps and school districts which had not been authorized by the committee to hold them. The delegates elected in this way have been generally admitted to seats in the convention, which it can be seen might be easily packed in this way in the interest of some particular candidate.
 | An effort will be made to have the committee confine the primaries to Vot- | ing precincts or to localities where it iS i probable the supervisors may establish voting precincts if none exist there new. Primaries are so conducted in al
 most every county in the territory eX- cept in Maricopa. but here it seems to
 have been the policy of both parties to | let any community that wants to do 50 | hold primaries.
 Another matter that may come before
 the committee today is the Miss Brava
 question. The committee is expected to 1 take some steps for it's elimination from democratic politics. A member of the
 committee said yesterday that he be- lieved the committee would take some
 action on this issue. He favored the appointment of commission consist ing of Colonel Wilson, C. NJ shannon and Mark Smith to settle this ! question. Such q commission would nc doubt be appointed if it would do any good. but it is not believed that the Young Mems Democratic club | would allow itself to he bound by the conclusion of the commission The club | which is q powerful organization in it self has already been committed to the
 policy of Miss Brava's mysterious dea tn
 and cannot consent to an abandonment
 of it's principles on the eve of the con | test Some of the members of the club.
 speaking of this matter yesterday. said it would be just as reasona ble to ask the club to submit to the decision ol

UP TO WATER USERS
The Question of Securing a
 Storage Reservoir
MT. B. A. Fowler Outlines the Plan That Will Have to Be Pursued to Secure Action by the Interior Department.

MT. B. A. Fowler, whose coming has been awaited with a great deal of in terest, was in the city yesterday. It had been understood that he had brought with him frcm Washington q definite proposition from the depart ment of the interior to the people Of the Salt River valley, the acceptance cf which would result is. the securing of reservoir at the Tonto Basin site. Gir. Fowler said he regretted very much that such an impression had been spread abroad. He had no proposition from the secretary of the interior or from any one else. but policy or plan had been outlined by which a reservoir to be built by the government would be brought within the reach of the peo- pie of the valley.
 MT. Fowler believed that the reser- voir would be built by the government. He trusted to the good sense of the citizens to comply with all the require ments which would be imposed. They were neither unreasona ble or burden some. The government, MT. Fowler said, would not come here to negotiate or to settle any of the existing differ erces. Neither would il undertake tn come into the valley and participate iu the litigation which has been going on over the water question, nor would |; engage in any condemnation proceed ings. The ground would have to be cleared by the people here so that the government could proceed under the irrigati tion law. In the first place the water would have to be made appur- tenant to the land In making it 50 it would not be necessary to interfere with the vested rights of any one: they should all be allowed to stand as they are now. The present territorial irri- gaticn laws if enforced MT. Fowler be-

lieved would meet the requirement ot the government on that one point.
 An arrangement would have to be made-so that private corporations could not reap the benefits intended for the settler. and then the government would have to be provided with d reservoir site.
 The details would include q plan by which the water users could pay back to the government within ten years the cost of constEuction without interest and then the reservoir would be turned over to them.
 All this would be done under a pro- vision of the irrigation law for the benefit of private lands. This provision had been secured mainly by the hard work of the representatives of the val Hey who were in Washington while the bill was pending.
 i The thing for the people to do now, 1 Mir. Fowler believed, was to pool all their issues. adjust their differences and get together on the plan suggested 1 It can not be done all at once. and MT. Fowler said that it need not be done l immediately, though the earlier the better The government itself is not
 going to move with startling rapidity.
 nor is it going to distribute reservoirs throughout the arid region on the plaa | Of giving them to those who happen to apply first. Neither would the building
 of the San Carlos reservoir, if built. be
 the death of the TOnto Basin reservoir. nor would it materially interfere with | it.
 i NIr- Fowler said it had been feare.! that the influence of J. J. Hill would secure the attention of the department
 t. the roads lying tributary to his northern roads to the exclusion fror! the benefits oi the irrigation law of the arid lands in the southern part of the
 country. MT. Fowler said he was pre- pared to give assurance that no infiu-
 ence, railroad or political. would be allowed to affect the operation of the ] act.
 The government had entered upon si
 great experiment with considerable en-
 thusiasm and was determined to attain
 the highest success. There were many reasons why the government would like to make the experiment in the Salt River valley early. The conditions
 were mere favorable here than any
 where elsa. and the success which
 would certainly attend the experimer;
 here would give the irrigation move
 meut Q strong impetus.
 It was understood though nct Yer! definitely that a meeting would be helC a the board of trade rooms last nigh 1 at which MT. Fowler would present hi. l views. He had not been informed O. such q meeting, however. and it was not held. There was some talk of call
 ing d meeting for tonight. but ii was mt done. probably for the reas. thai q meeting oi the water users of tho i valley had been called to bc held ;,r ] the courthouse on Saturday.

THE HEBREW PEOPL-
Have tccon,pIiShed d and Then Gives Rather Pessimistic Answer

Even if tine Jews succeed as iudi. yidual>, they fail miserabiy as peo- pie Eleven millions of human atoms scattered incohprently throughout the world daVoid of ai, common territory or common power; unable to eoncen- tratc their force in any desired diree- tion; devoid of national art. and al- most destitute of a contemporary lit- erature; even their ancient unity of religion broken into a dozen frag- ments: half their number crowded into the pale in Russia congested in towns. and forbidden even the fields of the pale itself; while hundreds of thousands of others are almost denied. in Roumania. the ordinary rights of animals; li3-Ae. even when they are pro~pering under nominal equality, as in France and Germany. and also, now, in England, to perpetual backwashes of anti-SemitiSm; excluded in free America from the general social life; the serfs of the world, fighting. at one time. on the Boer side, at another time l on the English side, next for the French. and then for the Germans the Jews present anything but a pie ture of a successful people. As Max Nordau pointed out in his great speech at the last Zionist congress. even the E>kimos are better off in their huts amid the snow.
 Their very religion-at once the cause and the compensation of their isolation-iN lost to the Jews by the impo>siblity of reconciling its ob- serVances. especially the obs ervance of the Sabbath. with the necessities of l fiercelY competitive civilization. If ob- served. il tends not only To render the struggle for life still Severer. but also to shut them out from many forms of 1 industrial activity. and thus cramps l the whole people by cenfiuiHg them te mparativelN few occupations.
 But, leaving on one side the people as whole, the idea that the Jews sue ceed as individuals is equally ilIusorv. l As already stated. half the Jews of l the world live in Russ ia. and. according 70 the most recent statistics the value ] nf the average possessions of q Rus l sian Jew ~ uRder tive dollars. The average Roumauian Jew has not even one dollar: in Persia. Morocco. Nigeria and the east generally. there is noth- ing but a mass of >warming poverty. varied. aS in Palestine. by perpetual mendicity. In the sweat-shops of Lon l don and New York, the Jews, as a rule. i are the victims.
 Whence, then, comes the singular il- l fusion that the Jew does succeed? It dates from those dark ages when every Jew was shut out from the arts and crafts by his inability to take the Christian baths of the guilds which united and restricted them, and was
 forced. moreover, by more direct legis-
 lation. into a few sordid occupations. His sole status was in the money he
 could acquire. Having no defensive

ALICE ROOSEVELT'S VIOLIN.
The Fine Instrument fs Presented by its Maker to the PTesidents
 Daughter.

In a small shop on DrYades street, in New Orleans, SamH5l l.. Davis ham mers away all GaY long and sometimes fas into the night. .fashianing musical instruments, turning out scrCIl work of beautiful design and finish, and oc- casionally doing the more prosaic work If repairing broken table leg or a fractured chair ruug, says sn cX- change of tl4ot city.
 He has been working for more than % years in New Orleans. He was born in New Jersey and came to this city in Is4j. How old Le is cannot be ascer- tained, fer this is the one point about which lie maintains the retieence of an cid mad. Bat he will show the let ter he received from Secretary Cor telyou acknowledging the receipt of the beautiful violin he sent Miss Alice Roosevelt the other day. and the let ter he received from Secretary John Addison Porter acknowledging the re- eeipt of the model for an electric launch which Davis sent tC Mr. Mckinley four years ago.
 The violin which was sent Miss Roosevelt was made by the cid man. It was a gourd-shaFed instrument, made for the most part eff mahogany, inlaid with mother eff pearl. and with just trimming o| cypress. Ii was all the work of ais hands except the strings. which were brought here. He made the keys. the finger board. the body. and he fashioned it with rare skill, intend ing all the time to make for the daugh- ter of the president something which she will keep. Ii was q beautiful piece If craftsmanship. daintily curved, eX- quisitely touched, and it had tone rare and sweet. T worked Cn the vic. lin for months, he said "I had no in tention at first of presenting tito Mss Roosevelt, but, as l progressed with it and saw it was going to be the best work of my days. determined to send II to tie presidents daughter. II was assuredly a good instrument one which sounded better than any have seen. thought she would appreciate it. and l am sure she does. You see the letter from the presidents secre- tary thanking me for it."
 Then he took down a model and began to explain the shape and finish ef the violin. and how carefully he selected each piece If the wood which went into it, how they would Troduc, the harmony which he desired, and how he played it for days and days in the loneliness of his shop in order fG be ST1ra a ,,-1rl.

Co@ee in Ancient Tjmcx

Coffee. tho beverage of large DOT ton of the civilized world, contains an oil of very active properties. This aro- matic shrub, which was first discov- cred wild in the desert fastneSSes of Arabia and Ethiopia. produces clusters of fragrant white flowers growing from the aXils eff the leaves. The berry is red when ripe. and separating the kernel from the husk was a laborious and difficult process when performed after the primitive methods of the east. Coffee acts upon the nerves. and is an antiLote for many poiSons. The herdsmeu of Arabia noticed the eXhil- aratine effect of this plant upon their fiocks, and the bowling Dervishes drank lnfusions of the berries to keen them wakeful in their wild night-rav- ings, long before it was in use as beverage. Coffee. unlike spices. is a modern lUN1ry, having been introduced into Europe only about the middle of the seventeenth century. - Peoples Home Journal
