The charges intimate falsehood
and it is said that when they are in

airing Of the controversy which dates
back toathe famous, heresy hearing
Of 1903.
The Rev. Charles F. Rice, presid

ADVICE OF PRESIDENT GOMPERS

est labor leaders have fallen out.
President Shea, Of the International
TeamstersE Union, who has been con.
Quoting the strike in person, and
President Gompers, Of the American
Federation OF Labor, who came here
from Washington to tender peaceful
influences, are said by some to have
been unable to agree In any particu.
lar. Gompers left the city last night
promising to return Saturday even.
ing. He. says he still has hope Of
settling the differences peaceably.
Before leaving he characterized the
employers as unyielding, and declar-
ed that lie would advise nothing but
peace with honor" for the union.
Gompers, continued: without dis.
cussing the merits Of the strike from
what L know Of the temper Of the
men engaged. 7 ann sure the union
willS not make "a complete surrender.
| know T will not advise such action.
If some honorable adjustment cannot
be reached SO that a better under
standing can be enlisted for the fu
ture, the two sides had better,remaln
in their present positions. There is
no law nor any reason why the men
on strike cannot make individual zap
plication for their jobs at any future
time. I have done my best to-. helr
bring about an adjustment by agree
ment. I have no right to say thai
my efforts have. failed entirely.4sg Or

 The train was a couple of hours late yesterday morning but by the middle of the afternoon the four pumps were loaded on four horse wagons and start ed to the Arizona dam. They will ar rive there sometime this afternoon and the work of placing them will begin at once. They will be set on Friday and Friday night or Saturday morning early pumping will begin.

WEATHER AND CROPS
For the Week Ending May p, 1905.

For the Week Ending May 2, 1905.
 The week was generally clear. warm and dry. Light showers and thunder storms occurred over the central coun- ties during the night of the 18th. Tenn peratures were somewhat higher, an average daily excess of degrees be- ing recorded throughout the week The night temperatures remained low in the northern counties, where ire quent light frost was observed.
 Rapid progress was made iTl farm ing operations. Under the influence of bright sunshine. and the high winds of the 17th. 18th and 18th, the condition of the soil was much improved in the northern counties. Planting in this section is fully three weeks behind the usual time. In the central and south ern counties, wheat, barley and oats are being harvested extensively. The second cutting of alfalfa is being made | in the southern counties. Wheat is | rusting in the central and southern sections. Reports from Maricopa, | Pinal and Pima counties show that some fields were completely destroyed by this fungus. Corn has improved, the later plantings being up to good stands | Garden truck is making fine growth. | New potatoes, corn, cucunlDerS, DedHSi | squash and symlines have matured, and are being marketed. Watermelons and cantaloupes are in advanced stages of growth.
 Owing to the lack of rainfall, the need of water for irrigation has become more general. The streams, creeks and gulches have less water than at the preceding report; yet the supply has not been cut short to any great ex- | tent In the central sections. the re- pairs to the dams have been pushed forward with all possible speed, t' meet the large demands for water dur ing the summer months.
 Vast improvement is noted in th' growth of range grass over the north ern sections. Cattle, horses, sheep and goats have maintained their standard of vigor and growth. The breeding sea- son, which was the most successful il many years, is now practically at ar end Large shipments of beef cattle were made in Maricopa county.
 Fruit is setting well. Apples, fig' and cherries are ripening. Straw berries are still growing. Apricots. O
 fine quality, are yielding largely il the southern and central counties
 The quince crop is most promising
