Con- sideration of the Tonto Basin re- servoir was then foremost in public interest at Phoenix, and Mir. Fow- Ter took advanced ground in favor of securing its adoption by the government. His views were so practical and his interest so keen that he was delegated to go to Washington to promote the great object, and was eminently success full in his mission. First he suc- cessfully devoted attention to en- actment of the national irrigation law, and then to adoption of the Tonto Basin project by the Inter- lor Department. With that secured he then turned attention to the Colorado river enterprise, near Yuma, and aided greatly in bring ing that to a successful issue. Extensive operations by govern ment are now under way at the principal sites of both enterprises. He has now interested himself in the San Carlos and San Pedro propositions, as well as other en- terprises in the territory, and he can and will accomplish great good for all of them. As a private citi- zen he has manifested great weight and influence at Washington in behalf of the paramount interests of Arizona. In his seat as delegate that influence will be greatly ex- tended and widened To quote the Tucson Star.
 He represents, in fact he is the embodiment of the irrigation in- terests of Arizona. He is recog- nized in Washington as an auth ority on the reclamation of desert lands.
 There are $25.000,000 now in the National irrigation fund. Ari- zona has already had appropriated about five millions ot dollars in this behalf, the securing Of which MT Fowler had much to do.
 "We want five millions more. We want a part of this large fund to reclaim the lands of the Santa Cruz, the San Pedro, the San Simon, the lands of Pinal county, and in fact of every county in Arizona which have large areas capable of reclamation through water storage reservoir.
 "Mr. Fowler is the one man in Arizona to secure these appropria tions.
 He has the confidence, the ear of the interior department, and as the delegate from Arizona he will have added power and authority.

which Was His WifeS

A certain Turk, according to rumor,
was once married to a yelled lady in
white in the presence Of the sultan. AS
soon as the ceremony was concluded
the bride mysteriously disappeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room, where stood twelve ladies all
dressed in white, but without wells.
"Choose from the twelve" exclaimed
the sovereign, ''her that is your bride"
As the man had never seen her face the
command bewildered him. IF you
make a mistake" added his majesty,
your life shall pay the forfeit" The
poor man walked up and down the row
of beauties. but saw nothing whatever
to aid his choice. You have only q
minute left" yelled the sultan in anger;
CHOOSE at once" Ten Of the ladies, he
noticed, gave him nothing else than
stony stare. One Of them frowned, the
other smiled. 1.-THE frowning one" he
thought, '1s my bride. for she express
es her displeasure and impatience at
my ignorance. NO." he said to him
self, 1T must be the smiling one, for
she desires to invite me to her." After
debating the subject in his mind until
his time was up he boldly made a Sc
lection from the two. He was success
full. He had regained his bride. Which
was she, the one who frowned or the
one who smiled?

Trick Antomahi1ists.

Although trick automobilists can be
found in France and England. this
country claims the lead. The accom-
plishment is peculiarly well adapted to
American genius. Another reason for
the supremacy OF Americans is the
greater lightness of the American ma
chimes, taken as a class, and their ex-
treme sensitiveness and delicacy of
control. 1t is of course possible to do
more with light car than with a
heavy French racer. Another condition
leading to the development of trick
chauffeurs in America is the encourage
ment given them by the manufactur-
ers, who favor trials OF skill because
they serve to exhibit machines and
demonstrate to possible purchasers the
lightness and facility with which auto
mobiles may be controlled.
There are several tricks which may
be classed as favorites among chauf-
feurs. They are all extremely difficult,
but the one which more nearly borders
