managers and also prevents a conflict
of dates such as sometimes happens
when manager hooks a town expect

he gets there he finds the date engaged
and must either skip the town or hold
his company over. the later expense

IN THE CHA VALLEY
Mr.. Maxwell Talked To Florence
People About Water Storage.

George H. Maxwell returned yester-
day afternoon after a three days alb
sence from the city, during which time
he had an opportunity TO become very
familiar with a big chunk of the arid
west, get some of it in his eyes and
throat and a great deal more OF 1t OH
his clothes. He went to Casa Grande
Thursday night and on Friday drove
to Florence via the we'll known Price
ranch, viewing the big canal and the
lands lying under il. Saturday he MADE
two side trips from Florence, one to the
headgate of the canal and the other u
the Casa Grande ruins. Saturday night
he addressed a large audience OF Flor
ence people Un the subject of Irriga-
ton and water storage, paying partic-
ular attention to the proposed storage
enterprise in the ella valley.
Mr.. Maxwell says he was paid every
courtesy during his visit and enIoye !
himself very much. His address was
attcntively listened to and he cannot
but feel that he did some good in the
way of explaining the uselessness of Il
feeling of jealousy that some people OF
that valley bear toward the Salt river
valley, on the ground that they think
they are more entitled to government
aid and are fearful that the construc-
ton of dam on Salt river might re-
tard similar action on the ella.
He tried to make it plain that there
should be. rather, a feeling of mutual
interest between the two valleys. IL
the conditions are right there is M
reason why the government should not
build both reservoirs and if the con-
ditions are not right it will not be
likely to build either. The first thing
TO be done in the ella valley, said Mr..
Maxwell. is identical with the first
steps to be taken here. steps which are
now being taken. That is the harmon
izing of local interests and getting
things in shape so the government can
build If it wants to.

Mr. Maxwell left for Phoenix, driving
from Florence to Mesa City. across the

In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlement in 1889, the editor Of this
paper was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe heat.
gave him 4 severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of his
neiahbors brought him one small bottle
Of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony, and
in few minutes the dose was repeated.
The god effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. The one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help but
feet grateful. The season for bowel dis

Even upon the manners OF the Eng

so much influence. II was peculiarly

religious earnestness the tastes of the
scholar and the instincts of the gen.

well expresses the almost fasttdious
habit OF the man. His cignified. vet
gentle courtesy, his refined ser-posses-

And IL should be said that Wesley
used his immense personal influence
with singular wisdom and liberality.
He had in his hands control Of the

but he did not attempt TO bind the

them arbitrarily his own Judgments.
He wis anxious only that Methodists
should be good Christians. On doubt

where IL belongs-with the individual
