SIGNING THE ARTICLES.-A few
water users come in daily and sign DIP
their acreage to the articles of incor-
poration of the Water Users associa-
ton. 1t is estimated that the signatures
aggregate an average of about 1000
acres a day. Mr.. Fowler received &
letter yesterday from Engineer Arthur
P. Davis, who is expected to inaugurate
the construction work. He said the
purchase of machinery for the work
was the next step to take and that all
was in readiness, but his instructions
from the director We're to wait until
sufficient land had been signed up to
the articles of the association to guar
antee the return to the government OF
the money expended.
THE MACHINE WAS OUT OF
COMMISSION.-The case of the terri
tory against Walter Lund charged with
the operation of slot machine with
out license was tried in Justice Bur-
nett's court yesterday and was dis
missed. The defendant is in business
il Glendale. His arrest was procured
q week go and the case was brought
to Phoenix. 1t rested on the testimony
of three or four boys who said that
they had been playing the machine re-
Gently and more particularly upon the
testimony of one youth who told q
story quite different from that of any
tailed the recent history OF the ma
chine. He said he learned about SiX
months ago that he had to have a Ii
cense and that it would be a dollar q
day. He at once put the machine out
of commission and emptied it of the
nickels. He put it in an out of the
way place and when persons approach
ed it he warned them that it was not
running. Now and then some one
would get a nickel into it without his
knowledge. In such cases when his
attention was called to it he gave it
back. The boys who had played
against the machine were playing
against nothing to start with and after
that against their own money.
