 DEPARTURE OF DR. WARD Last night one of the most respected residents of Phoenix took his depart ure. Dr. w. H. Ward who had lived and practiced in Phoenix left for Los Angeles, where he will reside. He had not intended to go until the latter part of the month, but the continued illness of his son, Frank, made his presence there earlier necessary. Dr. Wards going will be regretted by the people of Phoenix generally. He is not only a skillful and successful phy- sician, but he is also a good citizen and a good neighbor. For several years he has had charge of the terri torial asylum for the insane, and he has most ably administered the affairs of that institution
 A LACK OF EVIDENCE.-In the United States commissioners court yesterday Judge Johnstone discharged E k. Dyer, who had been charged with selling liquor to an Indian. The case had for the past two months been continued from time to time at the re- quest of the federal officers, who were not able to go to trial on account of the failure to secure a necessary wit ness. Dyer is a bartender and at the tune the alleged crime was committed was employed in the EdsOn saloon at Tempe In the justice court Judge JohnstOne sent Chas.

to all the members of the association. Those who have paid up for their acreage should bring in their receipts and exchange them for stock of the corporation. Those who have not paid up, should do so at once and get their stock in return. Those who have not even subscribed should by all means move faster than anybody and get their names down on the books and their stock in their safety deposit boxes.
 The time is very near at hand when all the farmers under the Arizona ca nal will want water and want il badly The only way they can hope to get it this season, very much of it at least is through membership in the associa . tiOn so they had better get right with the bookkeeper. And the time is al ready here when the association needs the money. It takes money to build canals and the sack even now needs replenishing, while there will be the added expense of running the water. The situation is not discouraging for there is yet a large acreage unsigned, that will be only too glad to get in no doubt before the summer is over, and many who have signed have not paid up. However. d small bank ac- count is irritating and the farmers are urged to strain themselves d little at this particular time.

A SIMPLE PROCESS
 FOR DRAWING WATER
The Invention of Mesa Man Free to
 all.

s. O. Stewart of Mesa has invented device for drawing water from a well or cistern by the simple process of turning faucet. There is nothing com plicated about the apparatus, which he describes as follows:
 Wall the well or cistern and cement from bottom to top. Also cover and cement, making it as aiTtight as DOS sible. Before cementing cover on well place in center a tube. which we will call tube No. l. beginning near bottom and extending out at top and on up into and stopping near the top of q cemented and airtight chamber. de- scribed below. Another pipe or tube which We will name tube No. 2, must be inserted and cemented into the well at or near one side, which tube. (No. ? need not extend down into well more than one foot and should extend out ro one side three or four feet At the upper end of tube No. ?, before plac- ing in the we'll must be fixed an air valve, which will permit air to be pumped into the well and prevent It's escape. For convenience We will cal! the well chamber A and the upper chamber B.
 Upon the lower end of tube No. 1, before cementing in chamber A, must be fixed (hinged) a water valve-a simple copper plate, rubber or leather faced-to prevent water entering tube until desired. To the under and front side of said valve must be attached q copper wire, which must extend from front back toward the hinge and on up and out of chamber A through tube No. 2 which wire will serve to open valve when water is desired in tube No. 1.
 Prescription of chamber B: Upon six or more pillars three or four feet high construct of stone or brick a ce- mented airtight chamber of any desired dimension, though it should be nearly

 GOT TWENTY YEARS. - Sheriff Tom Wills of Pinal county arrived in the city yesterday morning with Juan Alvarez, the Yaqui who clubbed a couple of men to death at MaricOpa couple of months ago. Immediately after the killing or as soon after as Alvarez got sober, for the whole thing occurred in the course of a drunken affray, he said that the killing of which he remembered little had been done in self defense. His story of his perse- cution by the two men seemed reason able. But when the case came up he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twenty years.
 WILD FLOWER EXCURSION.- What is advertised as a desert wild flower excursion will be run by the Santa F'e Prescott and Phoenix road for school children next Saturday and for everybody on Sunday. The train will leave the depot each morning at 7:45 city time and returning arrive at 4: :50 p. m. Exceedingly low rates will be made for the round trip to all of the stations between tnlS city ana congress Junction, and they may be learned on application to the Santa Fe office. The desert is now covered with myriads of poppies and other wild flowers in full bloom and an occasion is afforded for the enjoyment of a desert picnic.

large enough to hold the quantity of water in we'll chamber A This cham Der should be built (thOugh not ab- solutely necessary over the well and three or more feet off of ground. There must be no opening in chamber E ex- eept a faucet placed and cemented alright into bottom near one side. The top of B should be oval or arched and tthough not absolutely necessary highest in center and built round. Tube No. l. which begins near bottom of chamber A, continues on up through bottom of chamber B and upper end stops in three or four inches of toa and thus opens into E.
 Mode of operation: By means of q good air pump run by an electric motor. gasoline or small steam engine, exhaust all air in chamber B. thus ere ating as near as possible a vacuum. Then by means of copper wires pull (forcing) the valve at lower end of tube No. l, open. which (vaive) has been previously held in place by an insignificant wire spring. Fasten end of wire in tube No. below air valve, holding lower (water valve) open. When said valve is opened water wil move up tube No. l. pulled by ths vacuum Tn chamber B, until equilib- riium is attained.
 Then by means of air CpumpJ com pressor force as much air as possible through tube No. into chamber 4, when equilibrium will again be dis turbed and. caused by great atmos- pheric pressure in chamber A, water will move up into chamber B and be held there. Equilibrium in this in stance not being attained, consequent H. ID against inner walls seeking escape.
 tulation-SynOpsis: The appa- ratus consists simply Tn an alright we'll and an airtight chamber over well placed three or four feet above ground. with a center tube for outflow of water beginning near bottom of well and continued on up through bottom and opens out into upper chamber near top. and another short tube at one side connecting enclosed we'll with outer air, which serves through which to inject or compress air in we'll above water and a faucet for drawing water.
 Physiological facts which cause O.. produce the result: A vacuum being created in the upper chamber results naturally in an upward pull on the water through tube No. 1. Many times the natural atmospheric pressure being injected Into the well through luDe -NO 2, presses upon the exposed surface of water but not upon water within cen ter tube which results in a great up ward pressure on water within said tube No. 1. Thus the water is pulled from above and pushed from below.
 Comparable to hitching one engine
 in front of a train and another behind it. If the engines are strong and the train not too long the train must move. Thus. if a strong vacuum be created in chamber B and many at mospheres compressed into chamber A and the well not too deep the water must move out into upper chamber and press against the inner walls seeking exit. Then, for every gallon of water withdrawn-this pull and push being constant and cOntinuous-another gal Ion will flow (forced) into upper cham ber iron. well. if more is not drawn than the well can supply.

In the excitement of the water users election, attention has been drawn from the project of the farm CTS in building the extension at the head of the Arizona ca nal. It is learned though that no time mas been lost. and the work is being pushed as fast as possible. It is hoped that water can be secured through the new extension in a couple of weeks more.

srRIKryG AGAINST PROGRESS.

The strike Of the stone masons employed on
the new wing of the New Jersey State House
at Trenton affords an example Of an evil which
does not necessarily pertain to organized labor
per Sc but in which labor organizations nave
occasionally INDUCED. The stone for the build
ing was procured at quarry some distance by
railroad from Trenton, and the contractor, as
a matter of simple business economy. ordered
if TO be cut and dressed at the quarry, ready
for use Thereupon the men in Trenton went
on strike claiming that the stone should have
been shipped to Trenton in its rough state, Tor
them to trim and dress. That, it appears. was
the sole ground Of the strike.
Now. if the demands of these men were
granted. what would be the result? The con
tractor would have TO pay freight rates not
only on the stone which was used but also
upon large amount which was not used the
waste chips which were cut off in the process
Of trimming amounting probably to 10 or 20
per cent of the whole He would also have to
pay for the carting away and disposal Of that
waste material Moreover, while at the quarry
the stone could be cut quickly with improved
mower machinery, at the State House grounds
that would have to be done in a slow and primi
tive way by hand. In brief, there would be
large and quite needless expenditure of money
and Of time Just for the sake Of letting certain
men do a certain work where it could be done
men, their fellow woTkmen. do it where it
could be done to the best advantage. It was
much as though miIlers at Rochester should OBJ
ject to using thrashed and winnowed wheat
and should insist that the wheat should be
shipped to them Just as 1t was cut in Dakota.
straw and all, for them to thrash out with falls
or as though carpenters in New York should
demand that redwood logs should be shipped to
them from California entire. for them TO cut
into boards with handsaws.
Such demands are simply unreasonable and
are sure to react against those who make them
They are contrary to the laws Of economy and
progress, and those laws are as pertinent to
labor as to capital Doubtless it would cause a
larger payment Of money in wages to wOrkmen
to do work in the slowest and least economical
manner instead Of by quick and inexpensive
methods. It would do the same to abolish rail
roads and return TO stage coaches aud OK teams
Think Of the army Of drivers who would be en-
ployed, instead of only a few engineers and
train hands! But we cannot be persuaded that
it would be for the good Of the people in gen
eral or laboring men in particular thus to turn
back the course Of civilization, and we do not
believe that anything is to be gained for work

NO TuRNING BACK.

IL the next Republican candidate for Gov
ernor is not Governor Higgins he will be man
thoroughly in harmony with the reform policy
so well carried out in the state by Governor
Higgins and in the nation by President Roose-
welt, and proud to make his campaign as the
heir to Governor Higginss record OF consclen-
tious devotion to public duty and of success in
securing. despite powerful opposition, large
amount of legislation beneficial to the people.
The next president Of the New York Repub-
lican County Committee will be Herbert Parsons,
or some man as firm as he in support Of those
reform policies Of President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Higgins which Mr.. Parsons was pledged
at his election TO support and which he has
faithfully supported
The great mass of Republican voters are not
so short Of memory as some politicians suppose
and persons who fell victims TO reform sentiment
in the party. either one year or five years ago,
cannot serve the President and the Governor
better, or themselves worse. than by presenting
10 the people a square cut issue between the
politico-business ideas which they represent and
the principles which are at present dominant IN
Washington and Albany.
Last year Mr. Parsons was put in command
of the party organization in this county for the
express purpose Of bringing it into harmony
with the policy Of the President and the Gov
ernor and disassociating it from the kind OF
political and business ABUSES WHICH, lAS
strong committee showed TO have been long prev
alent in this state. One Of the sharpest critics
Of those discredited political methods was Mr..
Lemuel E. Quigg and he was influential In
giving TO Mr. Parsons the opportunities which
Mr.. Parsons has employed in support OF the
measures of the President and the Governor.
He now seems to be weary Of Mr.. Parsons. but
if he or anybody else thinks that the people
are tired of those measures and wish now to
restore the use Of legislation to serve private
ends. the collection Of corruption funds and the
lawless activities of great corporations in state
and nation, he is greatly mistaken
The disappointed ambition of politicians who
have not been able 10 get their own way with
independent, highminded public servants and
the bitterness of some corporation managers
who have been forced to obey the law after
long period of license are perfectly understood
by the people And the people are in no mood
TO crafty such resentments or restore such IL
cense The work of the last two years will not
he undone.

DRUG FRAUDS.

With legal technicalities concerning the drug
trade and it's obligations and privileges the
public need not at this moment be concerned
Those matters are before the courts. It is TO be
assumed that the courts will dispose of them in
accordance with the law. When that is finally
done by the court Of last resort it will be time
to consider whether its disposition is in accord
with the public welfare If 1t is, the matter will
be satisfactorily ended. If it is not, the fault
will lie not in the courts but in the law, and the
remedy will lie in amendment of the law, which
if needed, will doubtless be effected
Meantime, the public will not fail to regard
the matter from the point Of view Of equity and
morals, superior to the technicalities Of statute
law and the uncertainties of judicial 1nterpreta-
ton and thus regarding it, and acting according
to such view of it. the public Wilt certainly
should-withhold its confidence and its patron
age from druggists who are known to practise
the substitution of other drugs for those de-
manded by patrons prescribed in physicians
formulas. That this practice has been wide
spread there is only too much reason to believe
Sometimes 1t is because the druggist happens
not to have on hand any of the particular drug
called for and in order to avoid bother. or delay
or having the patron go to another shop he uses
instead another drug OF similar properties
Sometimes. probably more Often a cheap drug is
substituted for a costly One in order to increase
LHe druggist pEOuLS
In either case such substitution is dishonest
unless OF course, the purchaser is Informed of It,
1t will not do to say the substituted drug is
'just as good" That is not for the druggist to
judge, but for the purchaser or the physician.
In the vast majority of cases 1t is not true that
one drug is lust as good" as another, for the
reason that there are very few drugs which are
exactly the same in their action upon all per-
sons. The substituted drug might be ''just as
good" for one person, and 1t might be disastrous
in its effects upon another. The physician who
writes the prescription knows which of two SINH
lar drugs is the better for his patient The
druggist does not know and it is a gross i'm
pertinence as well as a piece Of dishonesty for
him to arrogate to himself the discretion and au-
thority of the physician
go so far as the classic Pickwickfan case OF sub
stituting oxalic acid for epson salts. Any sub
stitution whatever is to be condemned unless
we have said, the purchaser is frankly warned
of 1t, so that in case Of a personal order he can
exercise his own discretion, or in case Of pre-
scription he can consult his physician. To prac
tise substitution without such warning is as
truly a fraud upon the purchaser as il is to sell
shoddy for all wool. or cast iron for crucible
steel If the law does not forbid t. it ought to
be made to forbid it. and until the law is thus
effectively amended the public will conserve its
own welfare By applying the extrastatutory rem
edy Of its own discretion.
