OF LOCAL
INTEREST

1T MAY BE HAPPY-This is in
reference to the marriage yesterday of
F. F. Flores and Carmen Arvizu,
whose love affairs have been before
the public for the last year. They
were welded yesterday at the urgent
suggestion of the United States au-
thorities. The groom is a we'll known
young man, industrious and generally
we'll behaved.
BOARD OF GoVERNoRS-The re-
gular monthly meeting of the board of
governors of the Water Users associ-
alton was held yesterday in the asso-
citation rooms. There was little done ex-
cept routine work and a general dis
cussiOn of the latest phases of the sit
uation. The most important topic I'M
der consideration was that of the ad-
visibility of the proposed higher con-
struction of the Roosevelt dam, though
there was nothing before the board for
official action. The council will hold a
meeting next Saturday and it is expect
ed that will be one of the subjects to be
considered and that the council may
take some action expressing its senti-
ments in the matter.
w. U. A. ASSESSMENTS-It is
learned that the collections are coming
in very regularly from the seven cents
weeks ago by the board of governors
of the Water Users association. It is
gratifying to know that the associa-
ton has thus far conducted it's af-
fairs more cheapIy than was expected.
1t is permitted to make an annual as
sessment to defray the expenses of the
association but ii is pleasing to know
that its affairs were conducted for
nearly two years on the initial fees of
ten cents per acre charged to all lands
signed up. The present assessment Of
seven cents is therefore the first one
made since the association was organ
lied.
PATRICK MADE oooD-H. R. Pat
rick yesterday received a postal card
from Perry NJ. Williams of Maricopa,
Mr.. Williams is something of an anti
quarian himself and has mastered a
few dead languages and ancient hero
glyphics. He addressed Mr.. Patrick in
character writing which was unques-
after the manner of several
centuries b. c. and it is presumed he
thought he would have the addressee
guessing. But Mr.. Patrick found no
trouble at all in reading it. The mes
sage translated, was as follows: Am
leaving for San Francisco tonight to
attend Epwortn League meeting. I'm
derstand there is to be a physical cul-
ture demonstration at CoIima near San
Francisco on the 9th and as l am in
terested in the uplifting of the race
as we'll as morally, shall
try TO attend"
NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE-This
afternoon at ? o'clock Pacific time the
new train schedule of the NJ. & P. &
S. r. V. railroad will become effective.
BY its provisions there will be two
daily trains to and from MaricOpa. One
Will be a passenger train and will
leave here at s p. m. arriving at Mari
copa at 500 p. IN. Returning the train
will leave Maricopa at $3.50 a m. and
reach Phoenix at 4:45 a. m. The other
through train will be known as a
freight train and will leave Phoenix at

nix at 1880 a. m, y m. and 40 p. m.

p. m. and 500 p. m. The company has
under way many improvements in its
roadbed and it will be noted that the
running time of the trains is much fast
ter than heretofore.
A PUBLIC CEMETERY-It has
been known for some time that the
Masonic organization of Phoenix has
been agitating a movement for the es-
tablishing of a public cemetery for
Phoenix, in view of the fact that the
present burying ground is almost fill
ed. There is no land obtainable ad-
jacent and altogether conditions are
unsuitable for an extension.
1t is proposed to procure suitable
grounds of sufficient area at a proper
distance from the city and yet con-
venient of access. These grounds are
to be beautifed, planted in shrubs and
trees and generally to be made up to
date. At a. meeting of the lodge last
night the matter was taken up and a
committee was appointed to prepare a
draft bylaws and make
all preliminary arrangements. 1t may
be said that the money is all ready,
several thousand dollars TO be eXpend-
ed. a part in the purchase of the
grounds at a reasonable price and the
rest in beautifuying them. AS the
name of the cemetery indicates, it is
to be a public place of interment,
though the Masons are taking the lead
in the movement.
