 well written and the data. is of course. authoritative. The article is illustrated by three pictures. one showing the capitol building. another a Phoenix street scene and the third a ranch and cattle scene. The best feature of the pictures is that they are of a new series recently taken, and not the same old pictures that have been used so long and so frequently in advertising this country.
 SAID HE NEVER DID IT.-Harry Truitt was arrested yesterday after noon by Deputy Sheriff T. J. Duncan. oA telephone message from Prescott, saying that Truitt was wanted there
 for a felony, the precise kind of which was not described. Truitt is not the
 brightest man that was ever born; he is not the kind of man that presidents
 or even United States senators and
 cCngressmen are made of. He had
 never heard of the crime of felony
 He admitted that he had done many
 things that he ought not to have done, in San Diego and elsewhere. but so- help-him God he had never commit
 ted a felony and would not know how
 to do it unless he was shown. This was one time the authorities were
 wrong: he was going to hire a lawyer and have him prove that the felohist
 was some other person. Truitt had evidently come here to stay for there

 MEETING OF HORSEMEN-A committee consisting of J. k. Wheat J. C. Adams and A. F. Davidson. has issued call for a meeting of all horse meE and all others interested in horse racing who desire to cooperate. to he held at the Hotel Adams Saturday evening st i:30 o'clock.

 RESPONDING WELL-The secra- tary and stenOgrapher of the Water Users association have been very busy of late sending out notices and collect ing tine first assessment of members of the association. It will be remem- bercG by all who are interested or who kept track Of things. that the terms Of signature of lands to the association called for the payment of an initial fee Of ten cents per acre to the associa- tiOn. for the defraying of current ex- penses. Quite a number. made this
