]. c. Stevens Also Z
Sc e In Duke
Dispute
Arbitration Board May
Now Reach a
Decision

After a careful surrey of the John
Duke property, over which the city
is now in controversy with the owner.
the two arbitraJors, J. W. Sullivan, re-
presenting the owner, and R. \. Fred
erieks, appointed by the city, finally
agreed they could not reach an under
standing. Yesterday as a result of
a conference they requested J. C. Ste
vens of the weIl-known firm of Stew
ems and Hoover, to act as the third ar
bitrator. This action was provided
for in the original understanding, in
the event that the first two arbiters
should be unable to reach an agree
ment.
After having been notified of his sell
ection, and after he had agreed to
serve. Mr.. Stevens took the oath re-
quired by law, and was driven to the
property in the afternoon accompanied
by Messrs. Fredericks and Sullivan.
The trio are TO meet today, and there
is reason for thinking that an early
understanding may he arrived at.
BY the terms of the agreement be
tween the city and Duke, the three ar
bitrators are to come to an understand
ing without fail, and whatever may
be their decision both parties to the
controversy are to abide by 1t. Moth
ing in the way of important news is
to be learned in the matter as yet
those having the settlement saying it
would be unfair to make anything
public until a lasting agreement has
been reached. Indications an point
to an agreement today among the
three men. hut If may happen that
1t win require another day to come to
a settlement.
It is announced that the arbitrators
viii present their final agreement 20
the ciy.a as quickly as possible after it
has been reached.

"a NARROW EscAPF.,,

The report published in the Herald
alleging that the scaffolding fell down
from the TOP Of the Elks' building to
the ground. and "landed on the alley
pavement with a crash that was heard
for several blocks" is absolutely des-
titute of truth.
IS a matter of fact. no material fen
fro-r the building. The scafolding
dro~1cd back upon the roof before any
attempt was made to elevate the
bronze elk. and in twenty minutes
thereafter the preparations were com
pltte for raising the ornament.
7 would Ike TO know how close Mr..
Mcdonald was TO the building that he
was able TO hear the "crash." and see
the timbcrs dash to the ground. that
for some reason or other. no one Of the
twenty or thirty persons present were
either able to hear or see. IF the
Fronze elk could only read the Herald
article. he would he forced to laugh
over his alleged "narrow escape"

Stately Effi8y Adorns
The Par2ret Of

The Order Witness
Ceremony

Stately and handsome in every de
tail the massive bronze elk, donated
to the new Elks' opera house by the
United Verde Copper Company, was
yesterday elevated into place on the
parapet of the building, and securely
fastened at the highest elevation.
1t was once decided to place the effgy
to everyone down town during the
afternoon. and is beyond question the
most striking ornament on any struc-
ture in Prescott.
It was decided to place the effgy
so as to present a side view from
the front Of the building, but after
raising the bronze casting it was de-
eided to set it facing the front. More
than ordinary care was taken to pre-
vent possible accident in raising the
heavy casting, the tackle having
been arranged from the eastern side
of the building.
By good fortune an insecure portion
of the braeing on the roof was diseov-
cred by Architect Minor before the
casting was started upward, otherwise
there might have been an accident to
the damage of the handsome ornament.
Great care was shown to fasten it firm
" and as securely as possible Long

A PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Home industry is a paramount issue
in the county of Yavapai, and partieu-
larly in the city of Prescott. Here
we have great wealth-our citizens for
the most part are of the woll-to-do
class-but a great many 90 elsewhere
to make their purchases. This ought
not to be the case. We have mercan-
tile institutions that can supply all the
requirements in every line that may
be needed. Our merchants, if they
do not have in stock the desired goods,
viii gladly send and get them.
It is a fact that must be borne in
mind that it IS impossible to carry a
great assortment of al lines of mcr-
chandise. In this community a mer-
chant n order to be successful must of
necessity so arrange his stock that he
can supply just what is most demand
ed.
Oftentimes there is a call for certain
lines which are not profitable for him
to carry, and then our people set mp
a cry that this and that line of mer-
chandise cannot be had. Prescott is
not a city of two hundred thousand; if
it were our merchants would carry
stocks in proportion. We have here
one of the fastest growing cities in
the country, and our merchants are
right up to the minute. 1t should be
remembered that when a call made
for certain Ines, and they are not in
stock, the merchants can supply the
demand just as quickly as an OUTSIDE
firm, and in many instances much more
cheaply.
Always give the preference to home
merchants, and so aid in making Pres
colt a great city.

IN JUNE THE SWEET GIRL
GRADUATE IS SUPREME.

This is the glad season of the year
when the girl graduate reigns the
acknowledged queen Of creation. She
has plueked the crown from the saucy
demure majesty. Her rule will not
be for long; soon her brief authority
will pass away. and the June bride and
the summer-girl VIII come to share the
throne in her stead. But while she
is with us her word is absolute, and
all mankind bows in willing obedience
before her.
Her throne is the fower-banked
stage of the college hall; her crown is
the wreath of blossoms poised above
her head; her scepter is scroll tied
with a dainty ribbon. A little while
and the fragrant platform viii be
dusty and bare; the wreath will fade
and die like disappointed hope; the
diploma with its Gothic type and its
golden seal will he carefully framed
and forgotten. But a truce TO such
sad thoughts, The girl graduate
reigns in our midst; long live the

She flashes on our awcd gaze in con
scious indescribable splendor. She l.
a thing Of cleaning ribbons and flmy
futtering laces and soft yelling and
other fabrics beyond the power of
ordinary words to define. Her eyes are
modestIy downcast. her crossed palms
are hidden in pure white gloves, her
slippers retreat eoyly beneath her
trailing draperies.
She Is mistress of wonderful bar-
monies and most abstruse knowledge.
She sits at the piano and her quick
fingers lure from the keys a magic
spell which floats over her auditors
and bcwitcbes them. Or she stands
before them and finds new meanings
in the trite old facts of history. "Be-
yond the Alps lies ItaIy," IT'S
sentiment Of which the sweet girl gra-
duate never tires. She weaves about
the storicd words of the great com
mander a thousand noble aspirations.
She shames a sorlid world with the
maiden purity Of her ideals. Her va
ledietory to dear old alma mater
flashes with merry laughter at the

 Perilous Trip
 Charles Hampton of San Bernardino, and Jacob Schriveley of Ashland, Ore gon, arrived in Imperial yesterday hav- ing come from Phoenix, Arizona, in 8 manner experienced by but few men of the present time. They left Phoenix on March 22 by boat via Salt river They travelled down Salt river to the Gla, and thence down the Gila. They were in the midst of the late eXtraor- dinary flood of the Gila. Parties told them in Phoenix that they could never make the trip by boat, but they were bent on the adventure and risked it anyway. They got along very well till they struck the rapids about twelve miles above Gila Bend Here they were unable to stem the torrent, the current was so swift it fairly wrenched their boat out fl Om under them, and they were thrown into the water and lost much of their valuables. They finally made shore alive, and with the aid of Indians recovered their boat, but by this time both of them had all of that kind of river navigation they wanted so they gave their boats to the Indians and came on to Imperial by rail. Mr.. Hampton says he has boated on many a river but never struck one to compare with the Gila when it is on a ram page, and says no more Gila river boating for him.

 A Reminder
 It looked like old times in Imperial last Monday, to see so many outfits passing through town on their way to work on the new ditch for Water Com pany Mo- 5. It is reported that more than one hundred 4-horse teams are employed on this work now, and that it is being put in with rush. So many men and teams moving dirt with Fresno scrapers will soon put No. 5 on "easy street" so far as water is concerned, and with the channels of Salton and New rivers left open, there IS no danger but what they will carry all the surplus water that reaches the Imperial Valley. The normal amount of water is now running in Water Company No. 1, and all have all the water they want. We are informed that something over G0,000 inches is being distributed to the farmers.
