LAND OWNERS MEETING
Committee Appointed by Water Users
 Under the S.R.V. Caual.

The land owners under the Salt River Valley canal met yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Water Users asso- citation and took action similar to that taken by the land owners under the other north side canals. The meeting was persided over by F. C. Norris and r. H. Parker was made secretary A committee of seven was appointed to work in conjunction with the commit tees appointed by the land owners un- der the other canals, in devising ways and means for the acquiring of those canals through the Water Users asso- citation. The personnel of the commit tee is F. c. Norris. Walter Bennett, P. T. Hurley F. H. Parker. Nelson Bradley. Marion Kritzer and G. w. Smith. MT. Bennett. the mayor of Phoenix, was ap- pointed to represent the interests of the city. which has certain water rights and privileges under the Salt River Val ley canal.
 Now that the land owners under each canal have organized and appointed their committee the next step is the conference of all the committees. the first meeting of which will be held next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
 During the deliberations of the land owners yesterday motion was passed inviting MT. Maxwell to participate in the meeting and speak on any matter that might seem pertinent to the sub ject under consideration. He very will ling1y accepted the invitation and it is believed that his presence and explana- tions did much to clear away the doubts that have hovered over the minds of some of the farmers. One gen tleman who has thus far refused to sign the articles of incorporation and who has persistently opposed the move ment stated that his greatest fear had been that when the lands under all the canals came in those under the larger ones would control the distribution of the water. possibly against the interests of the smaller ones as under present ar engagements. He had not grasped the idea that the government controlled the distribution of the water through the | association. but that it was to be done according to the wishes Of the majority of the association members. In reply Mir. Maxwell had only to read a section of the statement of the secretary of the interior made through MT. Walcott in his address here. At it's conclusion the ! gentleman referred to willingly admit | ted that he had not so understood the matter before. The section read was ! the following:
 "The department has also noted that | the articles of incorporation of the Sal. River Valley Water Users association provide that they are subject to the | rules and regulations of the secretary | of the interior or the government con- ! corning the storage. diversion. delivery | application or use of any water stored | developed or delivered to the associa- | tion. This assures the water user that he will receive his due share of the wa ter as he is protected by the right of ap- l peal to the secretary if the rules and reg ulations of the department are not car ried out by the associa ton. As a whole the articles of incorporation of the as sociation are approved"

TOO GREAT A RISK.

In almost every neighborhood some one has died from an attack of collie or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician sum moned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. Th- risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in use. It can always be de pended upon. For sale by all drug gists.

SPRING AILMENTS.

There is an aching and tired feeling: the liver, bowels and kidneys become sluggish ana inactive, the digestion inn paired. with little or no appetite, no ambition for anything, and a feeling that the whole body and mind needs toning up. The trouble is. that during winter, there has been an accumulation of waste matter in the system. Her bine will remove it. secure to the se- cretions a right exit. and by it's tonic effect, fully restore the wasted tissues and give strength in place of weakness soc at Elvey &.

An Early Cold Wave.

An early cold wave, of more than
ordinary vigor, started from its
home in the far northwest about a
week ago. Last Friday it had
journeyed eastward as far as the Da-
kotas, covering the country as far as
it went with ice and snow. Tor
once at least spell of wet cloudy
weather was beneficial to the upper
portion of the Mississippi valley.
About the time this cold wave start
ed on its eastern trip, another Of the
the numerous rain storms which
have spread over Iowa during the
past summer started northward from
the gulf Of Mexico. The rain storm
reached here first and for several
days past has been holding the cold
wave in check and reducing its
virulence to a certain extent. Ac-
cording to the predictions OF those
who send out the weather reports,
the fate of the corn crop in north
eastern Iowa will be determined
about the time this paper is dis
tributed. If the storm from the
south can hold possession of this
part Of the state until Wednesday
evening, it is believed that the dan
ger Of a killing frost in this locality
will be passed for the present, and
that means a good deal for everyone
as well as the farmers.

It is gratifying to note that the
Press has finally concluded that the
law should be obeyed and business
methods observed by every member
of the board of supervisors. In a
long article in the last issue of that
paper, the law and the necessity for
keeping bridge book are fairly
stated For several years past the
Democrat has been calling attention
to the failure Of the board of super
visors to keep a bridge book, even
going SO far as to publish the law
which makes their failure criminal
offense. For time no heed was
paid by any county official to what
we said, but the defeat of Mr.. Carter
last fall was of incalculable benefit
to the county 1t marked the be-.
ginning Of a change for the better.
AT the present time the county
auditor, two members Of the board
supervisors and the Manchester
Aare in favor of having the
.....s,rs of the county managed in a
lawful manner, and with the same
care which is usually observed in
the transaction Of private business
Of like magnitude.

Whore Beavers and Maohen Come In.
The official statement regarding the
indictments says: 1.-The indictment
against Beavers, Machen and Erwin
alleges In substance that the Postal
Device and Improvement company, of
San Francisco. formerly the Montague
Indicator and Letter Box company, by
resolution Of Oct. 8, $780, set aside l.
600 shares Of its stock to be used In
any legitimate way its pmsidetn might
think proper In forwarding the inter
ests Of the company. Armed with this
authority the president, Daniel s. Rich
ardson, accompanied-by Erwin, came
to Washington. Erwin was then a
postoflice inspector, and the company
was composed almost entirely OF post
office employees in the west.
Beavers, Maohen and Heath Seen.
Erwin introduced Richardson to all
the postoffice officials at Washington,
and Beavers, Machen. Heath and 9TH
ers examined the device. AS result
an order for equipping 2.OS0 letter
boxes with the device was secured.
About this time. on suggestion from
Beavers col,c,it1ed In by Machen, the
name Of the company was changed,
and 1t was arranged that all postofflce
officials should disappear from it's
management Beavers and Machen
became the owners Of blocks OF the
stock, both under assumed names.
Made II Easy for the Company.
THE company was then systematic.
ally relieved Of its obligations in the
way of paying freight, crating, paint
ing and printing cards for the devices
It was furnishing. Out Of 1000 shares
of stock set aside as above mentioned
most all Of 1t went to different postof-
fec officials. The president of the com.
pany Afterwards came to Washington
again with the request that an In
crease be made In the compensation
the company was receiving for It's de-
vice. This request was granted.
