THE WATER PROPOSITION

The council proceedings will show the action taken relative to the pur- chase of J. J. Gilson's we'll. Mr. Gilson has agreed to give the town an option on the water for the sum of $500 in cash, which was paid Thursday, the Arizona Central bank gallantly coming to the front with a 5000 loan without interest for ninety days. At the end of one year if the town has developed sui ficient water and keeps the well, 5000 more will be paid, and at the end of three years $62OO, the bal ance of the purchase price of $1O,- GOO. The proposition is most liberal one, as if the we'll develops to what is expected it will be we'll worth double that amount. We de- sire to compliment our city council for the prompt and business like manner in which they took up the proposition for the welfare of the town; also MT. Gilson, because he refused other offers and gave the city the first chance. For the 5000 the town can find out whether the flow is sufficient, which is a much less sum than would have been expended had a well been sunk outright. Yesterday a pump ing plant was moved onto the prop erty and preparations made for thorough test.
 We understand arrangements are being made to bond the town at once to raise money sufficient to install first class pumping plant and large stand-pipe. While we heartily agree with and approve of all actions taken by the council in this matter to date, we do not feel that the time has yet arrived when a vote on the question of issuing bonds should be taken. We be- lieve it would be much better to wait till investigation has shown the flow of water sufficient to war rant such step. The bond for year at $500 is all right and will give plenty of time to see what we have. If we have enough water we predict that there will not be dis senting voice when the vote is taken.

FEARS A SECRET
CHINA-JAPAN UNDERSTANDING

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. I7.-Im-
portant developments regarding China 5
attitude toward the belliQererts is antici-
pated here in well informed quarters.
There are rumors of closer relations be-
tween China and Japan. of the posi-
bility OF the Japanese turning over Port
Arthur when CAPTURED to China, OF their
restoring Manchuria to the Chinese. etc.
Although these reports are not confirm
ed they lead to quite a general belief
that some. sort Of negotiations are going
on behind the scenes of which the out
side world has little cognizance. The
Russ says it believes the Japanese suc-
cesses are emboldening the Chinese gov
ernrnent more and more and they are
prompting such diplomatic steps as
China never dreamed of before. Since
the japanese occupation Of New Chwang
and direct contact between the Chinese
and japanese they have seemed to
quickly reach an understanding, the oc-
cupation OF neutral territory evoklng no
protest.

however. The interference of China
will scarcely be to our Disadvantage

SCARCE CIGAR BOXES
DEALERS ARE REQUIRED TO
BREAK THE LIDS.

II you ask dealer for an empty
cigar box and he takes hammer and
snashes in the lid before handing IL
to- you, don't take.it as an insult.
You would likley meet with the snms
treatment if you called at every place
in the city where cigars are sold.
Urier the old revenue law, it was
sufficient if the dealer merely scratch.
edthe revenue stamp so that it could
no be used again After he had de
stpyed the stamp he COULD give the
hoes away. But the new. law says
tina "all persons are cautioned not to
usethis box for cigars again, or the
stamp thereon again, and not TO re.
mge the contents of said box without
dssroying said stamp" etc.
Under a new ruling the box must
dso be destroyed, so that It will be
impossible for it TO again used Tor
igars. Most dealers comply with
9th requirements Of the law and de-
itroy the box and the stamp nc the
anne time with one blow Of the ham
