The ELkS' CHARITY Ball
WILL BE.HELD DEC. IS
Date Changed from Dec. nth. Fam.
Gus Ainsworth Orchestra Secured
: to Play for Dance.

The committees, who are arrang-
ing for the Elks' Annual Charity
ball, have decided to give the ball
on December Is. instead of Decem-
Der II, as was originally intended.
The changing of the date was
made in order that the Elks might
have the services of the famous
Ainsworth orchestra of Minneapolis.
This famous musical organization is
touring the northwest and as they
are to play at Crookston and other
cities near here, it was ascertained
that they could so arrange their
dates that they could play at ball
to be given, here on the night of
December 10. The organization
will give several selections "a sort
of concert) before the dance and
they will furnish music for the ball.
The committees are working
together very harmonously and from
present indications the Elk's Annual
Charity Ball promises to be one of
the most successful events of the
kind ever held in this city.
AS there are 126 members of the
local lodge and as undoubtedly all
of them will take tickets, it is GER
tain that there will be a splendid
attendance at the dance.
The invitations are being issued
today and each Elk is allowed to
invite a friend, but any one who
attends the ball must produce an
invitation, together with numbered
ticket, before they will be allowed
to participate in the dance.
The following are the committees
who have charge of the dance:
Executive Committee. O. Har-
ris, J. c. Parker, w. ]. Markham.
Printing Committee-A. G. Rut-
ledge A. B. Allen, w. N. Bowser.

the blessings we enjoy under consti-

rise in their manhood and prove
themselves capable and worthy of
the high destiny which is within the

AS Milton said let US rise to
the height of this great argument

reliance in divine providence and
the courage and manhood to use
diligently and intelligently the
power of mind and body with which
we bave been so abundantly blessed.
And now, brothers, as one after

bind US together shall one after
another be severed, may we each

those who continue to work in our

Mr.. 3. A. Fowler, Back in the Harness,
Greatly Enthused Over Business

President B. a. Fowler of the Water
Users association returned to Phoenix
yesterday after an extended trip, which
began in May when he, accompanied
by Mrs. Fowler and others, left for
Washington to attend the conference
on the conservation of national re-
sources. which was a most notable
gathering. The remainder of the
month was spent in Washington visit
ing friends. From there their touring
plans led Mr.. and q Mrs. Fowler to
Philadelphia, New York and up into
New England.
Sometime was spent at Springfield,
Mass, which was Mrs Fowler's home
for a number of years. Yale univer-
sity of which Mr.. Fowler is a gradu-
ate was the next objective point in
their itinerary. Here Mr.. Fowler at
tended the 40th reunion of his class of

bers were present. The entire class
numbered l05. He was also present
at the great boat race between Yale
and Harvard From New Haven they
went 10 Boston.
At the time Of their visit in July, the
heat was very oppressive and a con-
dition of drought was apparent. When
they left Boston, Mr.. Fowler said yes

wearied with the heat than when they
left Phoenix. They journeyed to Buff
falo and there took a lake steamer of

A MFt'S COMPLAINT
OF I'LL TREATMENT
A Story of the Brief Matrimonial
Life of Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Moore.

An injunction was Issued yester-
day in connection with a divorce
proceeding begun by Minnie Moore
against William o. Moore, to restrain
the defendant from disposing of any
of the common property of the plain
tiff and the defendant until a hear
ing can be had.
The parties were married in jan
uary last year and the wife did not
despair of making the marriage a
success, though she had many things
to discourage her, until the present
month.
The complaint is a story of long
and varied ill-treatment and neglect.
There were curses and foul epithets
and beatings. So public was all this
that the neighbors wrote Moore an
onymous letters, purporting to come
from the DO or Die" club, threaten
ing him with Summary punishment
unless he desisted
At one time the wife thought she
could bear it no longer; she sup
posed that his course toward her had
been pursued for the purpose of
driving her TO the divorce court. He
had never accompanied her anywhere
nor had he allowed her to be seen
with him. Accordingly she took her
infant child and went to the home
of her mother. Soon after Moore
visited her and besought her to re-
turn. 1t seemed to her then he had
some affection for her and she went
back. The complaint said that his
conduct was not mended. He hu
inflated her in every way and boast
ed to her of his relations with other
women. Then came the divorce pro-
.ceedings brought yesterday by At
torney p. II. Hayes.
Moore is i'm the dairy business near
the city. He is the owner of personal
property valued at 5000, consisting
of 100 head of cattle. His dairy
business is supposed to yield him an

/ Fowler said that he had taken advan-
tage Of the excellent opportunity offer
ed on his sojourn. to sound men. anC
HE found to his satisfaction that bust
ness conditions are very promising, the
sentiment is hopeful and a most en-
icouraging optimistic feeling existed
This was based he thought on the be-
lief in settled conditions and policies
and republican success at the polls
next November, after which a high
WAVE of prosperity would begin to rise
again over the country.
There is being manifested, said Mr.
Fowler a very great interest all through
the coast states in the irrigation con-
gress at Albuquerque. This congress
with the encouragement given by the
departments of the government and
| the enterprise of the Albuquerque cit
| liens would no doubt be a notable
success and a great gathering He had
heard talk~among Californians of Cal
/ ifornia's display, and he thought it
could not be too strongly urged upon
the valley people, the Importance of
providing fine exhibit of products.
| Asked what in his opinion was the
chance of the next congress being
brought TO Arizona, Mr.. Fowler said
it had been the rule to hold the con-
gress in different sections of the coun-
TRY each successive year, in order to
arouse as much general interest as
possible 1t would therefore be hardly
possible for an Arizona town TO Sc
cure the next congress. 1t would not
be quite as satisfactory to bring such
a large body of delegates and visitors
here for a congress, when the Roose-
welt dam is not sufficiently well along
to make the best showing. There are
other cities in Arizona besides Phoe-
nix which would be suitable places for
holding the congress having good ac-
cOmmOdations and. claims to offer
which enterprising citizens are not to
be blamed for presenting. But the
time is not yet ripe for any Arizona
town to pick the coveted plum.
However when the times comes,
Phoenix has its advantages. being the
hub of one great project, which pre-
sents the object lesson for the in
struction of and the demonstrating to
the world, the possibilities of irriga-
ton. 1t has the pioneer Water Users
association working in harmony and
under a policy of development which
has become the policy of the govern
ment in such matters. The Salt river
project when completed viii be one of
the show places Of the country. Mr.
Fowler is vice president of the Irri-
cation congress and looks forward to
the accomplishment of important
things at the next session at Albu-
querque. He viii now settle down To
clear away a pile of work which has
