cisive action in adjusting the rights to water here.
 Referring to the construction at Roosevelt and Granite Reef. he said ev- erything was moving along rapidly and satisfactorily and that it is prob able that in another year the reservoir will be in condition to begin the storing of water and the government will be faced with the question of distribution. This matter cannot be settled until the priorities are settled. The reclamation office has maintained to the govern ment that the people here aye willing to do anything that is required of them to facilitate matters and aid in the completion of the project and yet they are not progressing rapidly in the
 matter of the priOrities-
 While MT. Newell did not say so, the inference was drawn that if the people did not hurry up the government would be ready to distribute water before they would be ready to receive it. The committee then took up the memorandum agreement that had been prepared by Judge Kibbey. counsel foI 1 the association, based upon or incOrpO- rating the ideas set forth in the report made recently by the Committee Ot ! Sixteen. It was somewhat modified and amplified and adopted.
 | Tn the afternoon the board of gov ! ernors met and ordered the printing oI ! 2. 900 copies of the agreement witt
 which the report of the Committee O ] Sixteen will be issued in pamphle
 form for the education and instruction
 of land owners. The board also has committee appointed to formulate plan for presenting this agreement t
 the land owners and in due time tn

With irritating Skin Humor-WhoIe Body Affected Scalp ltChed All the Time and Hair Began to Fall Wonderful Result From

 CUTICURA REMEDIES

CT am never without Cuticura Soap and CUticura Ointment since ] tried them last summer. About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch 1 did not take much notice of it at first, but 1t began to get worse all the time, and then 1 began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humOrs; but l became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Espe- cially at night, just as soon as 1 would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep 1t irritated, and it was not long before could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and did, and the first appli- cation helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks l would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and | kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura l was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out, but 1 continue to use the Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan druff out and scalp is always clean. 1 always use Cuticura Ointment on my face after shaving, and have found nothing to equal it. l will never be without it." D. E. Blankenship,

TALK TO WAFER USERS
 BY ENGINEER NEWELL
He Urges the Necessity of An Early
 Settlement of the Water Right Prior
 ities. Form of Agreement Adopted.

Meetings were held yesterday of the Committee of Sixteen and the board Of governors. for further action in respect of the proposed agreement to be signed by the water users of the valley. to hasten the settlement of the priority water suit.
 The committee of Sixteen met at 10:30. Engineers r. II. Newell and l.. C. Hill. who arrived from Roosevelt and Granite Reef early in the morning, were present. Mr Newell was invited to address the committee. He first stated that his remarks would neces- sarily be brief and he could not meet the board of governors in the after noon at all, as he and MT. Hill had ar ranged to improve an opportunity that had presented itself, of leaving about midday for Wickenburg on a special
 train, having been invited to meet there, President Ripley of the santa F'e, and party, for a ride over the new A. &- C. railroad to the end of con struction beyond Salome. He expect | ed to return to Phoenix last. evening, and be here today, but it was learned ! last night that they would hardly get 1 back before some time this forenoon. ! In his remarks MT. Newell told the committee that the very large expendi- ! ture of money on the Salt River pro- | ject is arousing the antagonism an6 1 hostility of the people in other state. and that if the people here were wise they would get together and settle their personal differences in respect o | the water priorities just as quickly al possible, that there might be no delay in the government operations. Up il 1 the Yakima country there was a simi lar lack of cooperation and the gov ernment finally gave the people jus
 three months in which to get together and they did so. He urged the neces sity and importance of immediate de

"At the close Of the seven days battle,
our battery being obliged to fall back"
relates a veteran of the Wilderness,
the men discovered to their dismay
that two OF the gun carriages were so
disabled as to necessltate leaving the
cannon behind. These were hastily
buried and n rough cross OF wood
placed over each, with suitable IL not
felicltous inscriptions, including age,
date OF demise-nothing being left un-
done which would give verisimllitudo
to the proceedings and serve 70 pre-

perpetrated. when we mounted logs on
