EZEKIEL BROUGHT BACK
and His Examination Set
for Tomorrow.

Deputy Sheriff Oscar Roberts arrived
in the city yesterday morning with w.
L. Eckel who was extradited from
California on a charge of stealing or
enticing away Hettie Eckei, the fifteen
year old daughter of his brother, J. o.
Eckel. The officer was accompanied by
the father and the girl and also by c.
b. Morris, an attorney OF San Bernar-
dino, who represented Eckel in the ha-
baes corpus proceeding there. The APP
plication for a writ. by the way. was
withdrawn upon the return of the Off
Ger from Sacramento with the eXtradi-
ton papers and no further obstacle
was put in the way of his return to
this territory. The feeling against the
prisoner at San Bernardino was very
strong.
Eckel looked troubled and nervous
when he was brought in. He would
not be picked out as a man who would
commit the crime of witch he is
charged. He is gentlemanly; IN man
ner and presents more or less an APP
pearance of refinement His brother
seems TO have no ill feeling against
him though he says he is going to
prosecute him because ii is his duty
to society to do So 1t is suspected
though now that he sees the dangerous
positions in which his brother has been
placed. he may weaken altogether but
il is certain that the district attorneys
office viii not.
Eckel was taken before Justice Bur
nett yesterday afternoon for arraign-
ment. Nothing was done beyond the
reading of the complaint and the fix
ing of a bond at 1000. Mr.. Morris
said that was a reasonable amount and
the district attorney made no objeC
ton. The attorney for the prisoner
proposed to deposit the sum with the
court but was surprised to learn that
that could not be done in this terri
tory. Nothing but a bond can be ac-
cepted. 1t was suggested to him that
he might find d bondsman by Deposit
ing the money with him FOR security
The examination will take place to-
morrow morning.
Late in the afternoon no arrange
ment having been made. Justice Bur-
nett found a statute under which a
cash bond could be accepted. The mon
ey was deposited with him and Eckel
was released.

A SCOUTING WELL.

There is a flowing we'll of water on
the Giles Tillett farm, four miles west
of Peru. Ind, on the north bank of
the Wabash river. and the grounds
surrounding it are rapidly becoming a
popular picnic resort. The well is 1000
feet deep. 1t is between the old Wa
bash and Erie canal bed and the river,
and for half a mile on either side,
both east and west, along the river.
there is a dense growth of tall syca-
more. elm and walnut trees. The river
flows between high banks. Three years
ago a company of oil men. while wild
eating" sank this well, but found no
oil AS the water flowed over the cas-
ing in an eight-inch stream it was de-
cided to cap it and permit the water
to flow through a two-inch opening in
the cap The water spouts from this
two-inch opening twenty-five feet into
the air, and il never varies in pressure.
1t has continued to shoot skyward for
the past three years without diminish
ing in pressure. There is no disogree-
bic odor nor bad taste TO the output
in fact. the taste is something like su-
gar water and very alatable.-lndian-

mr.. HEARD WILL SIGN
Is Salts fed That He will Be Fairly
Dealt With.

Mr.. Dwight b. Heard, who returned
went to confer with Secretary Hitch
cock and Director Walcott as to the
local water storage situation. states
that both Secretary Hitchcock and
Director Walcott now realize that how
ever great the difference of opinion
among the people of the Salt River
Valley as to the fairness, good sense,
and justice of the present articles of
association, there exist no differences
as to the great need of the reservoir.
the desire for prompt government con-
struction, or the ability and willingness
of the people of the Salt River VALLEY

pliance with the New
lands law
Mr.. Heard is thoroughly convinced
OF the justice. trained judgment and
large business experience of the secre-
tarv of the interior and feels that he
will exercise the vast executive powers
placed in his hands under the Hans
borough Newlands act in the interest
of equity and justice. not regarding
personalities, but basing his action OH
the strict knowledge of the facts; the
evident desire of the honorable secre-
tarv being to carry out the wise policy

welt in his recent Grand Canyon speech,
when. after indicating that Arizona
was TO be favored with one of the first
government construction projects, ha
urged that the irrigation policy should
aim to create conditions of permanent
prosperity and stability rather thar
speculative development.
Mr.. Heard further states that while
he earnestly believes that the articles
of the Salt River Valley Water Users
comply with this wise and conservative
policy Of the presidents. he intends, on
the advice of Director Walcott. after a
conference with the stockholders of the
Tempe and Utah canals, TO join the
association by subscribing lands under
the Mesa, Grand and Maricopa canals

low water users in the association and
the strong sense of justice of the sec

Mr.. Heard states that in his final in

NO CANARY BIRD TRUST

Some time ago, when the steamship
"Koenigin Luise" arrived at the port
of New York story was set a-going
TO the effect that about four thousand
canary birds in crates had come across
the ocean in her hold, and were con-
signed to the canary trust" 1t was
further declared that now nobody
could buy a canary, a parrot or any
other sort OF pet birds without apply
ing to the trust for it," The trusts"
headquarters were said to be in Grand
street Bernard Ruhe being its presi-
dent.
All this seemed not a little improb-
able, and later on Ruhe explained to q
Post reporter that there was really no
trust" in the bird business at all. AS
matter of fact. however, there are
only two bird importers here in New
York, and all the foreign birds shipped
to this country are received in this
city, except a few that are sent from
Australia to San Francisco. A ship
ment of 1900 canaries a one time is
regarded as a common consignment in
the season, which extends from the
middle of September to about April
Ruhe receives about 1000 every week
in that period, and the other importer
about as many. Altogether each of
them imports about 10000 canaries
year. which are sold to the retail deal
ers in this city and all over the United
States.
All these canaries are said to be OBJ
aimed from Germany. where the bust
ness of breeding them is now scatter
ed all over the empire. although 1t was
formerly confined to the Harz noun
tains. Many persons over there make
il their entire business. while others,
engaged in other vocations. make the
raising of canaries a sort OF side line.
from which they derive enough money
to pay their rent. The best singing
birds are still procured from the Harz
mountains. where the breeding of ca
raries was begun as early as the six
teenth century. and has been carried
on ever since. In Germany canaries
are bred only for song. while i'm Eng
land some are bred for size and color.
Some birds are bred in this country.
but they show tendency to "hark
back" from yellow plumage to the
notified green coats of the Wild birds in
the Canary Islands. and they are not
as good singers as the German. The
retail price here in New York of a good
young bird from Germany is about
$3.50. but prices run up as high as SIS
apiece for trained singers. The latter
are educated by being put when young
in the company of other fine singing
birds, such as the nightingale. many of
whose notes they learn TO Initiate
The demand from all parts of the

says. is so great that this country can't
get enough of them. The average pur-
