HOW WASHINGTON NEGLECTED
 HIS DUTY.
The First Time He Met Martha Custis He Forgot all About the Governor at Williamsburg and His Matters Of Importance"

In the traditions of any member of Washington family the story of Martha Custis is of supreme importance. writes Cora A. Moore. in the New Broadway Magazine for May.
 It happened one day that she was visiting at the plantation of a neigh Dor. Major Chamberlayne. when there came riding in haste an officer in the British uniform. The business that he had with the major he transacted quickly. declining an invitation to stay because. as he declared. he was on his way to the governor at Williamsburg on matters of importance. But, the host repeated the invitation more ur- gently, slyly remarking that he had also beneath his roof the handsomest widow in Virginia, young and charm ing woman.
 An. a lady in the case, That was different. But the plans of men have often waited on Cupid. When the of ficer bowed low over the hand Of the lady whom he met in the majors drawing room he forgot Williamsburg and the governor. And she. pleased with the courage of that colonel, Geo. Washington. of whose military fame she had heard so much. scintilated and sparkled with even more than her us- ual fascination. That evening. long after the rest of the household had re- tired. he and the charming widow sat by the fireplace in the shadowy draw ing-room quite without a chaperon to regulate the tide of swiftly moving events.

 Add a sei-colon after the word same" and then add to Article but -when the said three-fourths shall have subscribed as aforesaid then, and at that time each subscriber hereto who has filed a disclaimer in said suit shall withdraw such disclaimer from the district court and formally present therein his claim to the use of water to be finally adjudged according to this agreement
 Resolved: That a new paragra pin headed No. g" should be added to the memorandum of agreement as to the distribution of water, as follows:
 It is further understood and agreed that the rights to the use of water of owners and occupants of lands as herein set forth, who are or may be- come owners of shares Of stock in the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- citation, shall be appurtenant to said lands and the carriage of said water shall not necessarily be limited to any particular canal under which the said lands are described as being situated in this agreement.
 Resolved: That in order to prepare a method for the prompt correction of any errors which may have occurred in the classification of lands entitled to be classed as cultivated mentioned in the former report of the committee of sixteen and the memorandum of agreement drawn hereunder. a board of review, of five members be created. one of the members of said board shall be a member of the reclamation ser vice to be appointed by the supervis- ing engineer of the Salt River project. and the other four, two of whom shall be residents and water users of the north side of the Salt river and the other two residents and water users 'of the south side of Salt river. shall be appointed jointly by the president of the Salt River Valley Water Users as sociation and the chairman of the council of said association. said ap- pointment to be made without unnec- essary delay.

COMMITTEE
 OF SIXTEEN Further Discussion of Pri. F Ority Problem :.
The Filling of Vacancies, Another Important Ses- sion on Tuesday.

Two sessions of the Committee of Sixteen at the offices of the Water Users association for a general dis cussion of the problem for which the committee was appointed nearly two years age, A statement of the work of the committee was presented by Dwight B. Heard as follows:
 The purpose of the committee of sixteen report was to work out some practical plan on which the owners of all cultivated lands. both within and without the Salt River Valley Water Users association, might agree as to the use of the actual appropriated flow of the Salt and Verde rivers within the reservoir district: it being under stood that whatever agreement was entered into should be introduced in the suit of Hurley vs. Abbott.
 The problem before the committee was a very difficult one and necessi- tated a careful study of all the availa- ble records relative to the use of water in the Salt River valley and an exam ination of all the various contracts en- tered into from time to time under the various canals as to the use of water. and after the consideration of a num- Der of plans it was finally determined that the most reasonable method of ar irving at an agreement was to base the rights of the lands to water on the actual use of water which they had received during the past fourteen years.
 The final report of the committee of sixteen recognizes a community prior ity and pro rates the water in each community among the lands shown to be actually entitled to its use. It was found by the committee in their in vestigations that a plan recognizing the individual priority under the canal systems. would create such a confu- sion of distribution as would be inn practical.
 The following tables and explana- tions will give the average water user a fair idea of what the committee of sixteen report actually means to him.
 Of course the distribution under this report will be entirely unnecessary ex- cept in times of shortage in the reser- voir at all other times the water user will be given sufficient water from the river and the reservoir for. his com plete beneficial use and il is only in times of reservoir shortage that it will be necessary to enforce the community priOrities shown by the committee of sixteen report.
 These statistics as to the distribu- tion of water gathered by the commit- tee of sixteen, were principally ob- tained from the official records of the court water commissioner and show that the average flow of irrigation wa ter for a period of ten years, distribut- ed by all the canals for use on the lands irrigated under them, less the regular supply of 800 inches to the In- dians, amounted to a steady flow of 24, ss4 miners inches, which amount of water from the records of the court was found to have been distributed as follows.

 The second column shows acreage entitled to be cultivated etaoishrdlu entitled to- be classed as cultivated land under various canals as shown in memorandum prepared as to the agreement for distribution of water.
 It will be observed that the principal increase comes in lands under the Ari- zona: this however. in no way affects the general agreement as the lands un- der the Arizona canal, under the agree ment are entitled only to the specific amount of water which they have act ually used. and If additional acreage is added that cuts down the pro rata share on each acre classed as cultivat- ed under the Arizona.
