that the meeting was the largest gathering of citizens of this val ley that ever came together. hum gering for information regard ing the one greatest question that confronts this people. And all were in a receptive state of mind. All came to learn and none to quibble CT doubt for it was a meeting devoted to the setting forth of facts and not theories. Dwight E. Heard called the meeting to order and in the briefest manner possible in- troduced the speaker. prefacing his words however with the regret that B. A. Fowler the chairman of the com mittee, was not present to perform that duty, by reason of a cold so severe as to confine him to his room. MT. Davis announced that in his study of irriga- ton during his more than twenty years of service for the government he had found no better region for car rying out the ideas O: the government than in Arizona. He had spent more time here than in any other part of the arid west and had found no better site in all this region than that of the Tonto reservoir. No location where so many advantages for construction could be found and no place where so much good could follow such an outlay of money.
 The first views presented showed Arizona without water. Then followed other views of irrigated ranches in this valley and later, maps of both this and the Gila valleys. showing the amount of irrigable and irrigated land. Views were also shown Of the San Car los dam site. the Butte damsite and the Queen Creek dam site together with

 THE COWBOY TOURNAMENT - Interest is increasing daily with the near approach of the dates on which the cowboy tournament is to be held. December 24. 25 and 26. All is in readi- ness and there will undoubtedly be a large attendance as the contest will be a competition between the best ropers In the territory, together with a fine exhibition of horsemanship.
 MONTE CRISTO.-The Krause- 1'av- Tor stock company gave an excellent performance at the Doris theater last night, of that popular old play Monte Cristo. The company carries special scenery for the presentation of the piece and the costumes worn by the company were historically correct. There was a good audience and its ap- .preciation was notably demonstrated. MT. Jack Taylor was exceptionally good playing the leading parts and was most ably supported by the comany which contains several very clever people.

plans for the building of these dams and with results of the bed rock bor- ings and many other details.
 Then came the pictures in which this valley is more directly interested. Be ginning at the consolidated head views were shown all the way up to the Tonto site. including the proposed dam on the Verde and the details concerning 1t, in cluding the result of bed rock borings.
 Passing on up to the Tonto site or Hudson reservoir site as it was first known, pictures were given of the re- suit of the surveys for bed rock in var ious places. Pictures were then given of the dam, sections of it. and of the basin above it which contains between 10000 and 11.GOO acres that will be sub merged. A detailed description of the proposed dam at this time would be but a repetition of a subject already dealt with at length. MT. Davis both in his lecture and by the pictures gave a conception of the immensity oi this work, that few had previously been able to appreciate.
 He made clear also some facts re- garding the care which the engineers had taken in their estimates for strength of construction, and how it would be mathmatically impossible for the dam to break; in fact 1t would be stronger filled than empty. The char acter of the bed rock and side anchor age of the dam Nas fully shown and it was demonstrated that the spillways could accommodate a flood of three fourths the amount of water that went by Phoenix in the flood of 1891. and yet the water would not come within seven feet of the top of the dam. Further

 The hall was crowded far beyond it's seating capacity many standing throughout the evening but giving close attention U all that was said There were many ladies in the audi ence and but few men who could be classed as merely curious and disinter- csted parties. It may therefore be said

SKI PARTIES IN MAINE.
A Quaint Stcry Which Comes From
New Sweden.

OF the hundreds of farm and house
hold utensils which the Swedish settlers
brought to Maine when they came here
more than % years ago, every one has
ldisappeared except the graceful and
handy ski. The wooden shoes lasted
until they wore out and cheerfully
gave place to coWhide boots. The
wooden blows were converted into fire.
wood as soon as steel plows could be
, purcha sed, but the skis stayed and
multiplied many fold, until today they
are as common among the Yankee resi-
dents as they are with the immigrants.
Little change has been made in the
shape of the ski, although the ski stick,
formerly a cudgel of hard wood with a
knob at one end for the purpose of
steering the ski over the drifts, has un-
dergone great Improvement. 1t is no
longer a stick except in name, for it is
made of metal pipe, while the terminal
knob is hollow ball of polished brass.
The improved stick is not only sitter
and more serviceable than its wooden
predecessor but it weighs less and is
more reliable at critical times.
Until two years ago the ski sticks CT
brass and steel were not common be-
yond the Swedish settlement, where
every woman and child travels by ski
so long as the snow is on the ground.
In 1899 the new sticks began to be seen
! in Houlton, Fort Fairfield and other
villages along the Canadian line. 1t
was also noticed that as metal ski
sticks became more plentiful, the price
of good whisky grew less, and there
was more of the liquor offered for sale.
AS the revenues did not increase in
proportion to the sales. the fcustom-
house officials made a few trips to the
places where liquor was sold across the
| line and learned of a new device for
smuggling.
| The metal ski sticks are hollow, the
inside of the large ones holding nearly
a gallon. BY fitting a screw cap to the
] top of the stick the latter could be
made to carry whisky in safety. AS
soon as the invention was made, ski
parties became very popular among
the men who spent portions of their
time around the hotels and restaurants
1t became a custom for parties of five
or six to make trip over the boundary
line in the morning. Stopping at a
saloon to quench their thirst, they
fillcd their sticks with red liquor and
came home much refreshed from their
healthful exercise in the open air.
| Meantime the price of liquor had
gone down until the drummers who
came up from Boston, refused to COM
pete with the goods that We're i'm
ported, and an investigation was start
ed. When the first snow fell this year
the revenue officers were on hand and
confiscated the loaded sticks, since
which time the ski parties have not
been so frequent.

Americas Greatest Woman.

Two hundred teachers attending the
Missouri Institute meeting discussed
the question of who was the greatest
woman in history. The thing ran from
Frances Willard and Helen Gould up tn
Queen Victoria, but the teacher who
caught the prize gave this reply: ''The
wife of a Missouri farmer of moderate
means who does her own cooking,
washing, ironing, brings up large
family of boys and girls to be useful
members of society. and finds time for
her own intellectual and moral i'm
provement is the greatest woman in all
history" And the kind is getting to
be rare, and properly so, because no
woman on earth ought to be compelled
to do her own cooking. washing and
ironing and bring up "A family Of chill
dren. That was the rule from the At
lantic to the prairies, out those were
poverty times. and 1t ought not to be
the rule any longer.

AN ARTIST OF ABILITY.
An Augusta Boy Winning Recognition
in Lewiston.

A Lewiston young man Of no little abb!
ity as an artist, is Mr.. Richard w. True
While his talent is well known and appre-
ciated among his own circle of friends, i,
is comparatively unknown to the general
public. Mr.. True is the son of Judge and
Mrs. II. W. True Of Augusta, where he
was born and has spent the greater part
of his life.
He attended the public schools in that
city but during childhood never showed
any special taste for drawing or any un-
usual desire to learn, but some few years
ago took a notion that he would enjoy
drawing for a pastime, and accordingly
set to work all by himself and readily
found that he was able to use pen and
ink to good effect, and many were the neat
little sketches that came from his pen.
His friends were surprised but delighted
at the remarkable talent which apparent
ly sprung up in the young man all of 4
sudden and he received flattering compli-
ments and great encouragement
He became deeply interested in the
work and keeping at it all the time rap
idly improved and developed the touch OF
an artist who had spent years in study.
Urged by friends and eager himself 10
receive the instruction offered in the art
schools, he went to New York and en-
tered the Chase School, which is under
the direction of William NJ. Chase, VINO
is recognized among the finest painters in
the United States, and whose school
stands second only to the Art Students
League, New York, of any in this coun-
try.
The instructor was Frank V. Dumond,
one of the pioneer illustrators connected
with Harper's Magazine. Mr.. True took
a special course in black and white in the
line of illustrating and succeeded finely
during the three months which he re-
mained in the school. His experiences
there were indeed pleasant and in the ar
tistic atmosphere he was perfectly at
home The students had special permits
allowing them to sketch in Central Park
at any time. and Mr.. True spent many
hours there catching clever pictures of
various characters in various attitudes
and peculiar predicaments. He also de-
voted much time TO the study of the ami
mails in the zoo. and got some excellent
likenesses.
At first he copied altogether but later
dropped that method wholly and origi-
mated his own drawings, for as is taught

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers. and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the King
household. but yours, ours, everybody S
should have it's life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds. in
fluenza, catarrh, the grip and pneumo-
mia do in the stormy month of March.
The best way that we know of to guard
against these diseases is to strengthen
the system with Hoods Sarsaparilla-
the greatest of all life guards. 1t re-
moves the conditions in which these
diseases make their most successful at
tack. gives vigor and tone to all the
vital organs and functions, and imparts
a genial warmth to the blood. Re-
member the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the system
strong

MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST

By the old masters it is best to begin by
copying and in so doing develcp a style
of ones own, and Mr. True has certainly
developed clever style, peculiar to him
self.
Returning to Augusta. Mr.. True fitted
up studio at the summer home Of his
parents in the suburbs of the city and
there spent good deal of his time. His
work is mostly along the line of pen and
ink and he does more or less illustrating
for the advertising department of various
magazines and is meeting with marked
| success.

burn he thinks there is n decided lack ot
