MIR. DAVIS DEPARTURE
Will Visit Colorado River Survey s
 With Chief Engineer Newell.

Mir Arthur ?. Davis, principal en- gineer of the arid land reclamation service left here on this mornings z. F.. P. X ?. train for Fort Mohave, ex- pecting to be joined at Ash Fork by MT r. Ii. Newell, chief engineer of the geological survey From Fort Mohave the two gentlemen will journey to the survey camps on the Colorado river where work is going on to determine the feasibility of retaining lands in the valley of the Colorado and 1t may be possible they will both go down the Colorado to Yuma. These plans. how ever can not be determined upon till the two engineers meet. Mir. Davis expects to go to Washington sometime in January and will be busy there for two or three months. returning to Arizona in the spring, presumably to Phoenix first.
 Asked regarding the progress of the surveys being made here for the deter imitation of the underground water supply MT. Davis said good progress vas being made under the circum- stances though the work is not going forward as rapidly as he had hoped on account of the scarcity of men. Plenty of incompetent men can be hired but the nature Of this work de- mands men O; some technical know ledge of the matter. men who at least know which end of a transit to look through. The irriga ton movement has grown so slowly till recently that ea- gineers have rather neglected that line of work and the result is that now they are needed good men are scarce
 There are about q Gozen men em- ployed here now in two camps. One camp is located a few miles northeast of Mesa and the other above the mouth of the Verde river. The plan is to be- gin at the upper end of the valley and pursue investigations westward Thus far not enough work has been done to indicate any results. the area covered being too small. The work will be continued for months to come.
 Another surveying party under MT. Davis is at work near the Tonto site surveying the line of the big power canal which has been referred to ire quently and the construction of which will be one of the first things necessary in the building oi the Tonto dam.

PROSPEROUS CAVE CREEK
A Mining an4 Grazing Section of
 Growing Importance.

Cave Creek pC COf1iCe has been on the map sometin put the community it serves has ro ined modest and unas- suming. But things are Hvening up thereabout and if present indications are reliable the Cave Creek country will soon become a section of great inn pOrtance to Phoenix.
 It is announced that there will be more sheep sheared there this winter than ever before while the mining in- terests of that vicinity are taking on new life. Another important feature of the situation is the rapidly growing reputation of Cave Creek as a resort for sick people. Many with lung affec- tiOns are there now, trying out door exercise and tent life and everything possible in a small community is being done for their comfort.
 While these camps are scattered up and down the creek for some distance the little postofTice is becoming an inn poTtant one. There are three mails each week and the business of the office is growing so fast the postmaster, F p. Mccormick. is beginning to look for ward to the day when his office will be raised from the fourth to the third class. MT. Mccormick was also re- gently appointed justice of the peace for that district which was not long ago formed by the supervisors. Cave Creek people who wish to can now quarrel and fight and go to court just like other folks. MT. Mccormick has had a great deal of experience as a magistrate in his early life and will be able to hold his constituency in the straight and narrow path.

 The repairs were sufficiently advanc- ci yesterday to allow trains to cross shortly after room and the regular train due in the morning got here be- tween and o'clock. But it brought Cnly delayed mail and baggage and western mail as the train from the east was delayed by washouts in the vicinity of Cochise station and did not reach Maricopa till mid afternoon. A special was then run over to bring in the Paul Gilmore company and the passengers and mail from the east It was also a coincidence that the train from the east was late at Ash Fork yesterday so there was no mail yes terday morning from the east.
 Last nights outgoing M. & P. train was an unusually large one as the special stock train did not get out yes terday and about twenty cars of cat tle were taken on the regular train in addition to the usual amount Of ether freight. But the road is now open again and traffic resumed. Suoerin- ten6ent Bicl;nell. who has been at the scene Of trouble returned home again yesterday afternoon.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

It will be good rews to the mothers of small children 10 learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hOarseness. < day of two be- fore the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a pe- culiar rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Rer- "dy freely as soon as the child becomes hOarse, or even after the rough cough appears. and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands Of nothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be de- pended upon a"d that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Eivey & Hu-

BANQUET OF ELKS
At Which Bark Squared Himself With
 Everybody.

Last night was the regular roundup of the F. ks that browse Cn this pal tlcu- lar range, but after the usual branding was over the herd was turned into the banquet corral where an extraordinary demonstration took place. The story of how J. E. Park recently got married without having first consulted the bre thren end that ne was subsequently, arrested and fined the price of ban quet for that heinious oTense, has been previously printed. Yesterday was the last day of grace and rather than be vented and turned al large he respond ed.
 He employed Coffee Al to do his best and he did 1t. lie arranged d printed bill of fare that was appropriate, ar tistic and unique in appearance, de- scrbing a menu that would not only make an Elk or cowboy hungry but would build up an appetite for wood en man. Beside the regular supper var ious toasts were served. Some of them were well Drowned, some were dipped in the milk of human kindness and some were buttered with forgive ness while all were sugared with charity. But they were all served hot and several of them burned up the guest of honor.
 The bills of fare mentioned above were real novelty. Each one was made by taking a large piece O: cot tonwood Bark" and with a purple rib- bon, the Elk's color. attaching to it the printed menu which was much smaI- Ter than the bark. and a little china dol! baby about two inches long. the ribbon being tied in q pretty bow. One of these curious bills was laid by each plate and there were covers for about eighty. A special menu card was made for MT. Bark, the bill of fare being printed in the lower right hand corner. The card was Illustrated by a local ar tist of rare ability and will be q pretty souvenir when framed. At the upper right side of the card. on a projecting ledge of rock stood Cupid attired in chaps, belt. gun and cowboy hat. Cupid mad thrown a lasso rope from the cliff and captured a huge elk by the antIers as he bounded through the shrubbery below. The work is in colors and very pretty. On the back of the card the guests at the banquet all signed their names. including a hal; dozen visiting Elks from Oregon, California. Texas. Michigan, West Virginia and Prescott. Ariz.
 Preceding the banquet the members of the lodge presented to MT. Bark an elegant silver chafng dish and small bottle of Elk's milk The handle to the chahng dish was made of EIk's horn which of course was highly appropri- ate MT. Bark accepted with a grateful and graceful speech.
 Long before the feast was finished t was decided that Mir. Bark had atoned fully to the offended law. after which gentleman impersonatlng the governor of North Carolina arose and made statement to a gentleman who was playing the role of the chief exc cutive of the commonwealth adjoining it on the south.

A WAY OPEN
Many a Phoenix Reader Knows It
 We'll.

There is a way open to convince the greatest skeptic. Scores of Phoenix people have made it possible. The pup lie statement of their experience is proof the like of which has never been produced before in Phoenix. Read this case:
 c. H. French. living north of tine Electric Light Plant, Prescott, Arizona, says: "I have had kidney complaint for some time indicated by backache. some of the attacks being mild and others very acute while the sharp twinges particularly when I unthink- ingly strengthened, to stoop or straighten after stooping were particu- larly evident. There were also other marked symptoms of either weakened or overexcited kidneys, particularly in the action and condition of the kidney secretions. An advertisement about Doan's Kidney Pills led me to go 10 the Brisley Drug Co.'S store for a box The treatment proved to be the very thing l needed. It relieved the backache, corrected the action of the kidney se- cretions in a short time and brought such positive benefit that my brother was induced to try the remedy. He re- ceived as undoubted benefits as IT,
