If. o. BICKNELL HOME
Back From a Pleasant Six Weeks
 Spent in the East.

NJ. O. Bicknell, superintendent of the M. & P. &, :. R. V. railroad, returned home yesterday morning, or rather yesterday noon on the. delayed train. from an eastern visit of six weeks. He is looking and feeling well and reports having had a most enjoyable outing
 MT. Bicknell who recently passed the chair of exalted ruler in the PnOe- nix lodge Of EIks, went east. primarily as a delegate to the annual grand lodge session which met in Buffalo. He combined this official duty with a pIeasurable visit to relatives and friends. both at his old Indiana home and elsewhere He went early and stayed late as it were. He went from here to Indiana first and after short visit there took his father and moth CT and sister with him to Niagara Falls, and during their stay in those parts he attended to his fraternal du- ties in behalf of the EIks.
 After that he went to Toronto. Can ada, where he had a most enjoyable visit of some length. then went to Boston. From the old bean town he worked his way down the coast, talk ing in everything he wanted to or that the time al his disposal would allow. He stopped in New York City. sized up the COlulllOlS or CllfIldlt anu lTtiI- zied finance. then boarded a train for Philadelphia. But he found little rest there. Philadelphia having recently awakened. After he saw the sights of Quakerville he went to Atlantic City and witnessed the ever changing panorama presented at the most pop Ular beach resort in the east, then worked his way westward again.
 The only thing he was accused of getting that he denies strenuously, was the yellow fever and he feels certain he could have had that too if he had wanted it. A general air of prosperity he says seems to pervade the country and he feels like all other Phoenix people who return, impressed with the brighter prospects and filled with stronger hopes for the future of this valley and the whole territory.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS
Yesterday Expressed Itself as in
 Favor of Larger Dam.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of governors of the Water Users association was held yesterday morn ing, there being a quorum present, which, all things considered, is pretty good for this time of the year. The usual monthly bills were audited and other matters of routine attended to. President E. A. Fowler addressed the board at some length, describing con ditions existing at the reservoir basin in detail. as he had found them on his recent trip of inspection. which includ- ed almost every feature of the work.
 The one question of par ticular i'm portance that occupied the attention of the board was that of the movement for the construction of the dam along the original lines of plan No. I, instead of the previously adopted plan. which was practically the same except that twenty feet had been taken off the height Of the dam. AS outlined in The Republican Sunday morning, since the present season of excessive floods it has come to be the opinion of many of the. leaders in the storage movement. locally. that the original height of the dam would be none too great, and that the added SI5O.00O or more dollars that the nlSner dam WOuiu cost "Oulu De money well expended. This would make the dam 2SO feet above bedrock instead of 26O feet as was previously arranged for. The larger dam would add approximately 35O.OOO acre feet to the capacity of the storage basin.
 The result of the conference of the members of the board was the passage of a motion authorizing the attorney for the association to prepare a reso- lution setting forth the fact that the board favored. the larger dam, the res Olution to be forwarded to the recla- nation officials at Washington.
 About the only other question of i'm
 pOrtance discussed by the board yes terday was the matter Of appointing

THE MOST POPULAR OF ALL
 WESTERN PLAYS"

A fair sized audience witnessed the opening performance of "The Ranch King at Eastlake park theatre last night. MT Brandon as the honest, big hearted ranch king was well liked. Miss Tucker was favorably cast as Kate Mannering. MT. Dorbin played Ned Mcdonald in a capital manner. w. F. Wagner was very bad man" indeed in the part of Wilfred Mannering, and succeeded in making the audience hate him. w H. Desmond had a fiat" pant in Murphy O'Donovan, and before the performance was suffering from em- bonpoint. Otto Peck, in acting dialect and makeup. was decidedly good. Os- good Smith did well as Wallace Young. Miss Lawrence was excellent as Alice Hastings, and made the most of all the opportunities offered. Marie Desmond made good soubrette, and not only played the part. but looked it.
 The specialties were well received. and "The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" sung by w H. Dorbin, came in for a large share of applause. The slides were very beautiful.
 Tonight is excursion and dancing night, and tomorrow night is souvenir night. Photos of Miss Lawrence will be given to each lady holding a re- served seat ticket.

the territorial fair commission and conference with members of the board of directors of the fair association. MT. Pollock left for home on this mornings train. It was announced last night that the conference had been mainly on matters of detail and in giving official sanction to things that had been previously decided upon.
 Mr. Tiffany, who has charge of the construction work being done by the association. said yesterday that the we'll is now down about sixty feet and has thirty feet of water. The water is cod and of excellent quality. The pump and engine will be placed at once and will probably be throwing water in ten days. Tine mile track has been plowed and the blowing of the half mile track is now in progress. Grading will begin tomorrow. One Of the speed barns is completed, all but the shingling, which will probably be- gin today.
 Speaking of the colt stake races yes terday. MT. Tiffany said he was greatly pleased with the entries for the year ling and two year old trOts. There were twenty-five entries for the year ling trot and ten entries for the two year old trot He considers that as g of the same area for with the excep- tion of one colt, all were bred and born in this valley.
 Concerning the colt pacing entries he is not quite so well pleased, for the reason that only four two year olds were entered and only three yearlinSs. These entries are not sufficient in number to start the race under the rules but he knows there are other colts in the country and for that req son he has reopened the entries for these two pacing events, to close again on September l. and he earnestly de- sires that those who have pacing colts will enter them without delay. There are a number here and the association desires to encourage the raising of fine colts and offers liberal stakes. MT. Tiffany feels that it must have been neglect that prevented the filing of the entries before and urges owners gain to get busy"

Education and Morals .

At one time school education was thought the best preventive of crime and wickedness in general. Moral cor ruption, it was thought, could not thrive except where ignorance prevail ed. and it was supposed that the ethi- cal status of a people would necessa- rily advance with the advancement of education and general enlightenment.
 This reasoning is found faulty. It has long ago been proved that book learning in itself does not improve the moral character of the student. Knowledge certainly aids the morally good in doing good, but it also ena- bIes the wicked to do wrong; for it is a power either for good or for evil, who wields it. Instances of this can be seen daily.
 Quite lately We have heard educa- tors of such high standing as Presi- dent Eliot of Harvard declare that popular education is a failure as a moral force, and another educator states that there is not a public abuse on the whole eastern coast which does not receive the enthusiastic approval of some Harvard graduate"
 Many are becoming aware of these alarming facts. and many remedies are proposed. But the only effective remedy seems to be widespread awakening to the situation, and na- tionaI repentance and turning away from the paths of evil. Preaching by example. rather than by precept, is the need of our age.

ON BUYING A HAT.
Insist on Standing Up When You Try It On, Says the Wise Woman.

Don't be content to buy a hat just because it is thoroughly becoming 70 you as you sit before the milliner's mirror" says a woman noted for the taste she shows in her hats.
 Stand up before the mirror and make sure that the ha- is as becoming g to you when you stand as when you are seated. Do not stand close before the mirror-walk away from it, and get a glimpse of yourself in the dis tance Assume a number of different attitudes. characteristic ones that you would naturally take when wearing the hat, and see if the hat suits you in them all
 'In ether words, try to see yourself as others will see you, judging your ap- pearance in the hat as they will. not as you have judged for yourself when seated before the mirror with d clever milliner lowering about h8ttering roses into your checks and excitem mt into your eyes.
 Its not an exaggeratiOn to say that in nine cases out of ten if women stood to see how they looked in the hat that had so pleased them when seated. they would find it unsatis- factory.
 Hence. it is good business in tine millinery trade to keep customer seat ed until the sale is accomplished.
 'It is women of medium height and short women who are the principal victims in the practically general GUS tom of judging upon the becomingness of a hat while the customer is seated. The sweep of skirt in the sitting pos ture. the repose of attitude, the color coming to the face with the repose.

 A practical fruit of MT. Roosevelt's pacific statesmanship is the announce ment by NJ.

A FIFTEEN YEARS SECRET.

The old watchmaker of a small town in the west of England recently re tired, and the contract for keeping the church and town hall clocks in order was given to his successor. Unfor- tunately, from the start the new man experienced a difficulty in getting the clocks to strike at the same time. At last the district council requested an interview with the wStchmaker.
 You are not so successful with the clocks as your predecessor" he was told. "It is very misleading to have one clock striking three or four min utes after the other. Why, before you cook them in hand we could hardly tell the two were striking. Surely you are as competent as Mir. H-?"
 Every workman has his own meth ods, gentlemen" replied the watch maker, and mine ain't the same as HIS were"
 "I am decidedly of the opinion that it would be for the good of the town if they were" remarked one of the councillors.
 "Very well. sir in future they shall be-" came the reply. "I happened to write to Mr H. last week about the trouble l had with the clocks. and but. perhaps he added. as he produced a letter and handed it to the chair man. you'd like to see what he said"

the grace of gesture of arm as one takes glimpses into the laced mirror favor the becomingness of the hat set upon ones head with the delft flattery of knowing fingers
 The stout woman suffers in the same way Seated, she forgets that she is not sitting for a portrait of her head, but must look just as well when stand ing when the general lines of her figure and carriage may more likely than not ridicule the head effect, so satisfactory when lines of figure and carriage are forgotten.
 "A tall, slender woman even when seated, gives a fair impression Of how she will look when standing. She re tains the atmosphere of her height. Therefore she runs little risk of having hat Unbecoming to her when stand ing that pleased her while tried on when she is seated; but even she should make perfectly sure of running no risk at all by rising from her chair, sweeping aside hatteTers, and getting a distance glimpse of herself.
 Watch an actress buy a hat. She will teach you how to do it. She takes a great deal of time about her pur- chase. It is msjudging her to think she is overfussy or putting on airs. She is simply bound to get the right effect as she sits, walks, stands-from front. back and sides, because her training makes her understand the inn portance ot having hat or bonnet lines carry out the costume suggestions held in line of figure and expression of face"

PLANT CURES SNAKE BITES

Every section has a plant said to cure snake poison" said Charles A. Gadsden, of Fl Paso, but the ouly one ever saw that seemed the real thing was a species of willow called guaco, which grows in the hot lands of Cen tral and South America. Its sap is a complete antidote against the bite of the most poisonous reptiles. In the hot lands, a snake bite is generally fatal in an hour and nature has pro- vided abundance of the plants in the places where the snakes frequent. The natives. are often bitten; they cOoIly reach up, break off a branch, chew the leaves and apply them to the bite. The guaco has yellow flowers and is a strong. healthy plant, flourishing best in the shade of other trees along the banks of streams. Curiously, it only grows in the hot lands where the rep tiles are most venomous.-Milwauke Sentinel.
