 MT. Balsz was 6S years old and was one of the most widely known men in Arizona, having come to the territory thirty-n years ago. Being always an active and energetic sort Of a man his record is a part of Arizonas his tory, though he was never an office. holder or active in politics. But he was always an earnest republican, true to his convictions and has been one of the men who helped to transform tho desert to the fertile valley and wrest it from the hand of the savage.
 In the early days MT. Balsz was also well known in California being among the first of the overland parties to ar- rive there from the east. He was born in Germany and came to St. Louis with his parents when he was about seven years old. In 1S49 he joined a wagon train and crossed the plains to Sacra- mento living in that part of California for some years. In 1865 he came to Arizona, settling first in Yuma where he was for long time engaged in the cattle and butchering business and in contracting for the government posts which he furnished with hay, grain, meats, etc. About 1875 he came to Phoenix and engaged in the butcher ing business with John Kelly, now dead. for many years conducting q market in an adobe building that stood on the present site of the Porter build ing at the corner of Center and Wash ington streets. It was MT. Balsz also who first settled upon and had sur veyed, the Sunfiower cattle ranch in Tonto basin, now owned by J. M. Ward and for many years he raised cattle in that section. At one time he owned considerable property in this valley and within what is now the city limits of Phoenix. Among other tracts was that portion of the city now known as the Bennett addition and in the early eighties MT. Balsz constructed a half mile oval race track there, that being the first race track the city had and the scene of many festaI occasions, including She old fashioned Mexican fiestas that were formerly an annual event here. He also owned at one time the ranch east of the city now owned by Adolph LiebeRow.
 A few years ago MT. BalsZ closed out his interests here and moved back to Yuma, where he has since been en- gagged in the cattle and butcherinG ! business with his sons, conducting also branch business at Kofa. He was married about twenty-eight years ago to Miss Luz Redondo, the daughter of his first partner in business, in Yuma.

 Mr. Fowler leaves on this morning $ train for short trip to Los Angeles on reclamation business, but tEat the guar antors mentioned might not fear that he had gone with the swag,'' he an nounced last night that with the per mission of Frank Alkire, one of the committeeman, he had turned the notes and other securities over to Walter Talbot, the third member of the com- mittee, for safe keeping.
 Respecting this guarantee enterpTi e TOW practically accomplished, MT. Fowler says that he is asked daily by various citizens what it means, as they have not kept up with current events and do not understand the movement, it has been done so quickly. Though it has previously been given in detail in these columns, it will again be briefly reviewed as follows:
 Some time ago the city voted S61, ,5OJ bonds to aid in the building of the Ton to freight road. Their sale had to be formally advertised and the printing and record searching of the buyers af- terward would be time consuming,
Arizona republican., 1904-05-24

while the people of this valley are eager that the road should be built as once that the valley may at the earliest day begin reaping the fruits of the in- VeStment. It was estimated that it would, perhaps, be two CT three months before the bonds could be sold and the proceeds become available. An effort was at first made to get the government to advance the money, to be re-im- bursed as soon as the bonds were sold, but authority for such a proceeding could not be found in the reclamation law. MT. Fowler then asked the local banks if they would advance from $20,000 to $25,000 needed for the early work, on the guarantee of citizens Of good financial standing, in sums of rot less than $500 each. They replied af- firmatively.. and a week ago tonight a public meeting was held in the board of trade room at which MT. Fowler, Frank Alkire and Walter Talbot were appointed a committee to secure the guarantors and stand between them and the bank. The result of their work is mentioned above, and it is noted that the guarantee is twice as large as was asked for, showing the universality of public sentiment and the desire of nearly every citizen to cooperate. these notes are made payable to MT. Fowler and will be endorsed by him to the banks, to be returned to the holders when the proceeds of the city bond sale are at hand and the money advanced by the banks is returned to them. The banks will enter into a con- tract with the committee to pay all time checks on account of the road en- terprise. that are approved by the city council in accordance with the bond enabling act, and will return the notes when the city redeems these time checks with six per cent interest.
 And the bonds were sold last night.

ROK'S CURSE.

Under full page heading "Tha Patent Medicine Curse" in the May is- sue of the Ladies' Home Journal, Ed ward Box has hurled a medley of fever ish and false theories and deductions at the entire proprietary medicine world.
 Fortunate enough to have the col umns of a great magazine at his dis posal in which to edit violent, acrid and misleading statements, this Wise Man of the East" looking down upon the masses from an eminence of his own creation, poses as the exponent uf a great reform. and that the readers are not sufficiently intelligent to judge for their own interests.
 In his eagerness to make good "Bok's Curse" he reflects on the women of the United States by inferring that proprietary medicine taking is worse than whiskey drinking in creating drunkards. It is a well known fact that women are the principle users of standard preparations. but there is no

among the delegates when pr. Day finished reading his reasons for his resignation. Dr. Buckley was recog- nized, and after stating that he had unsuccessfully endeavored in every way possible to induce Bishop-elect Day to abandon his intention to resign, he said the conference had a perfect legal right to nulify it's act of cleo tion. He cited as a precedent the case of Bishop-elect Joshua Soles, who was chosen by the general conference in 1920 and who resigned before being consecrated. He then moved that Bishop Days resignation be accepted and the conference adopted the motion without discussion and by unanimous vote. Upon the request of Dr. Day, the conference then excused him from further attendance upon the sessions, and he will return at once to Syra- cuse.

B. A. Fowler yesterday finished up his work of securing 14S notes of guar antors of the city's credit in the mat ter of the advance of the local banks to be made against the proceeds of the sale of the Tonto road bonds. One of these notes is for S1000, which counts two extra, making a total of 150 guar antors at $500 each. In addition thereto MT. Fowler has secured cash collateral in the same amount, $500, from each of six more men, making a grand total of 156 guarantors, or a total guarantee of S46. 900 Four of the notes are not yet signed, but they will be just as soon as the gentlemen in whose names they are made out arrive in the city.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 23.-Chancellor James R. Days action in declining the honor of bishop meets with the approv- al of the trustees and faculty of Syra- cuse university. They have felt all along that he would not give up his work here and are gratified that the university is not to lose him. They were pleased with his election as bishop since it was, they held, a vim dication in the face of unwarranted attacks and abuse and they feared that under the circumstances he might feel impelled to accept the honor con- ferred by the conference.

reason to suggest that woman's in- temperance exceeds that of man. It offers no excuse for the liberty Box has taken in creating the odious compari- son whereby the hundreds of thousands of women who see fit to use the rem edy that helps them should be held up to ridicule, and practically told they are taking medicine three times day because of it's whiskey effects that they are three times per day tipplers through the medium of drug stores in stead of saloons, and finally with Dowie like vehemence insulting motherhood with the charge that she brings into the world children impregnated by her own hands with the germs of drunken ness. But there is no cause for any woman to become worried or nervous over such "Bok-rot,'' "Bok-fallacy," when you consider that all the theory is evolved from false basis.
 Box talks about proprietary medi- cines. schooners of beer, drinks of whiskey, without any quantitative dis tinction, designedly leaving the im- pression that proprietary medicines can be used. and are used, as bever- age. Now, mothers and sisters, TO one
 
 use a Box beer glass as a medicine measure when the dose is from q teaspoonful to a tablespoonful.
 We know, for instance, in the case of Burdock Blood Bitters, a preparation we have manufactured and sold for thirty years as a successful remedy, and which MT. Box has listed and cursed in the Ladies Home. Journal, that it is never used in the excessive lsense-could not be, and so far as creating an alcoholic habit, we can re- fer to thousands of good women in the land who will refute the assertion, any one Of whose opinion is worth more than Bok's because he doesn't know the difference, or will not recognize the difference, in measure, between a tea spoonful and a schuper-a medicine and a beverage.
 From out of the Sargossa sea of | theory he seizes a handful of drift that he mistakes for facts, and without ten dering interested parties the courtesy of investigation, hurls wholesale abuse at extensive. and worldwide interests = the press and the public.
 In our own interests we append the directions that appear on every bottle of Burdock Blood Bitters:
 Directions for Burdock Blood Bitters For Dyspepsia, Sour Stomach. etc, to bH taken directly after meals. For Billiousness. Headaches, Liver and Kidney Complaints, General Debility Impure Blood, etc., to be taken before meals and on going to bed.

For adults, l from l to ? teaspoonfuls; children un- der 10 years. from 15 to 30 drops; un- der years, from 10 to 20 drops.
