object OF the enterprise being to pro-

WATER USERS CONFERENCE
neeting Yesterday Took no Action
Concerning Hurley Suit.

After holding two meetings and va
rious conferences. the water users un-
der the Arizona canal find themselves
where they began, in respect Of the
Hurley water suit, except for the in
| formation acquired i'm the study of the
question. AS an organization nothing
! has been done and each individual is
/ free to do as he pleases. 1t would ap-
pear. though from the discussions that
about two thirds of the water users
/ are against taking any action in the
matter except to urge the withdrawal
of the suit and if not successful, ac-
/ cept whatever summons may be made
upon them. one prominent land own
er outlined that IS mis- course and said
that when he was served he would
merely enter a disclaimer to any of Mr..
Hurley's allegations and let it go at
that. The meeting yesterday, like the
former one, was presided over by the
officers of the Arizona Canal PrOtec-
tive association, Mr.. Woolsey chair
man and V. Z. Messenger secretary.
However, all water users present par
ticipated whether members Of the as
ISOLATION or not.
The first business was the reading Of
the report of the committee of ten ap-
pointed at the former meeting. The
substance of the report was the adVis-
ing of the water users to join with
those under other canals in encourag-
ing the proposed suit and in making
early answer to it. There was a diff
ferent sentiment on the part of g min
GRITTY of the committee but no minority
report was offered other than u gerbai
expression of opinion.
J. Ernest Walker moved to receive
and file the report. Henry Jennings
offered an amendment that The report
be adopted. After a lengthy discussion
the amendment was lost by n vote Of
about three to one and Immediately
thereafter a motion to adjourn was
carried. The discussion all took pace
while the vote on the amendment was
pending. 1t was opposed by ". d.
Bell, J. Ernest Walker, J. NJ. Jamison,
w. J. Murphy and others. while Hen
ry Jennings and F. T. Alkire support

nings recapitUlated the reasons of tie

filing of the suit. The arguments on
both sides were earnestly made and
worthy of careful consideration. Sol

An interesting discovery has been
made at the farm of Whitehouse.
Skene, tenanted by Mr.. Robert Allan.
While one of the farm servants was
removing some gravel from field he
came upon fine specimen of a stone
coffin, containing the bones of a full
grown person and two urns, which are
in state of good preservation. The
smaller one is in the form of a cone.
and is nine inches high by about two
and a half inches wide at the base;
the other is bell-shaped. and is about
seven inches high by six inches wide.
Both vases are made of a very fine
clay and ornamented, designs being
nicely cut by some sharp instrument
on either side of both urns. The stone
coffin is also well-preserved, and mea-
sures four feet four inches in length,
by two feet wide and twenty-eight
inches high. The cist lies from east
to west, the head being towards the
sea. The skull is complete the teeth
being perfect in both jaws. The slabs
of which the cist is made have Deen
left exactly as they were discovered.
Many people have already paid visit
to see the interesting relics, but no
one has yet been able to suggest when
the interments had taken place.-Lon.
