renee for the past two or three years and that now has been finally dispOs ed Of It pertains to voting rights at the annual election the question b.ins whether the voting right of stock rep resenting a particular p:ece of land
 shall vest in the person whose title is d deed of record to the land, or wheth- CT the stock shall be voted by the per son who holds a bond Tor a deed and may be actually in possession at the time This question one way or the other. affects but few members of the association but it might at any time affect any member who had parcel of land under sale or partial sale IL iS therefore a very important matter to have definitely settled merely that a definite precedent shall be established.
 The question was first brought to the notice of the association two years ago about election time. and it was somewhat hastily decided. that the vote should be cast by the person holding the bond for deed or similar agreement of any parcel of land that might be in question. the assumption being no doubt that he was more nearly inter ested as the actual settler upon the land. The matter was left in that way and was really mot thought of again until q year ago when the ques tion again came up just before the election. Irrespective of any legal opin- ions that might have been obtained on the point in question the board decided to follow the precedent oi the year be- fore, as those who might be affected had too brief a time in which to defend any rights they might think they had in the event the rule was reversed. It was at that time resolved by the board to finally settle the question before another election.
 It was finally settled yesterday by a ruling of record that hereafter any person voting shares representing any parcel of land must be in possession of the same by q deed Of record, for the property. IL is believed that this would be the construction of the courts, and unless otherwise shown will be the practice Of the association. It might be true that a person holding a piece of property under an agreement to purchase, would at some particular election be personally more interested than the person in whom the title still vested, but on the other hand his

The Philathea society which is com posed of the young lady members of the First Ri. E. church, who profess to abhor men, congregated in the church parlors last evening to the number of forty five, attired in white gowns and green ribbons, to do honor to St. Pat rick. Just what the bond of affection is between these girls and St Patrick, does not logically appear. It was cer- tainly not the Methodism of the saint, but perhaps it was his manliness, for there never was a saint who better demonstrated his masculinity through his memorable and successful snake campaign. However, when the Phil athea girls want to do anything they don't stop to figure out the logic of it and there is nothing in the constitu- tion of either their society or the United States of America that compeIs them to.
 The society is divided into two guilds, of classes, known as the Odds and the Evens. This seems odd but even so it is merely to facilitate so- cialibility without the necessity of re- sorting to the society of men. The Odds represent the men (though one can hardly conceive of men being as odd as these women) and last night their mission was to appear as ghosts and also to furnish d program. while the Evens furnished the gorgeous ban quet that was served.
 There was piano selection by Miss Maude Hawley. recitation by Miss Gladys Sharp and a song by Miss Marie La Chance Miss Flora Lamson who acted the part of the boss ghost told the fortunes of all the others by system of palmistry that it is sus- pected is about as big fake as real palmistry. After that the ghosts al! arranged themselves in a circle around the boss ghost and tried to scare each other to death telling stories about the bOgie man
 The banquet was served in the height of fashion even to the limit of finger bowls, for self respecting ghosts could not think of dining without finger bowls. The Evens aver that howevc. mystical the ghosts may have been in other respects there was nothing SUI. pernatural about their appetites and they were if anything unusual. abnor- malIy realistic. Each menu card Wa Is iidut pl lltdNS UT NltS paper the Word March" being cut with scissors from doubled card so the card would sit up in front of each plate like the sign of the sandwich man" when he leaves it on the sidewalk The card was decorated with hand painted shamrocks on the outside and the 1 menu which was written on the backs | of the cards was as follows:
 Baked beans; scalloped potatoes: | bread, butter and sandwiches; pickles. | ostrich egg Omeiet; doughnuts and | coffee. The ostrich eggs for the omelet | were furnished by Mrs McNeil of the | Wylie- McNeil Ostrich farm, and the i Philathea society says they are fine | eating.
 The seeds of unrest have been sown in the society by the recent marriage i of one of their number and unless apostdsy shall be made a capital crime there is fear that trouble may follow. Milder measures are to be tried first but that the membership needs dsci- pline is evidenced by a reported move ment for holding at an early day a social function to which a select num- Der of young men, say about two or three for each member, will be invited. 1

EVERYBODY TALKING
 ABOUT THE VALLEY
An Iowa Real Estate Man Sees Certain Signs of a Boom Here.

T. L. Jones of Boone, Iowa. a brother or Dr. Jones of Wickenburg who died there last week will leave today with the body of his brother. Mr. Jones ar rived at Wickenburg week before the death of the doctor having been sent for when il was clear that the end was at hand.
 Mir Jones has been engaged in the real estate business at Boone for Sev- eral years. In that capacity he has had a chance to observe al late growing interest among the farmers of his To- cality in the Salt River valley. Mr. Jones himself, though he had never been here had contributed extensively to that interest. The Santa Fe' com pany has been and is yet flooding the country that is the farming commun ities of the middle west and the east with copies of Earth" the publication devoted to the upbuilding of the south west. These copies were sent in large numbers to MT Jones who caused them to be placed in the wagons of farmers who throng the town on Saturdays. It was not long after this campaign was begun until the farmers began to call on him to find out more about this country.
 On his way out here, MT. Jones said that on the train he heard more talk of the Salt River valley than he did of California. The attention of stran- gers seems to have been more partic- ularly attracted to this part of the country by descriptions they had read of the great Roosevelt dam.
 It is the opinion of Mir. Jones that within d year or two the population of the valley will be swelled by many thousands He is inoculated with the fever himself. Whether he comes here tO live or not he believes that he will avail himself of the great profits which will follow investments in Salt River valley realty.

agreement might never be fulfilled and his temporary possession never be per- fected. The association is dealing with the lands and the people who own them. and it's mortgage on the lands must mainly concern the holder of the legal title. wherefore he is the person the association prefers to recognize.
 Subsequently there was presented to the board of governors and passed without opposition. a resolution urging the passage by congress of the Ap- pallachian and White Mountain For est reserve bill. with the nature or which most readers of The Republican are sOmeW hat familiar. It is a meas ure urged by Clifford Pinchot the chief forester and has no direct bearing on anything in Arizona. but indirectly it is a measure that concerns the west in the same way that water storage and reclamation concerns the east, namely the conserving and developing Of the resources of the whole country. II is the furtherance of the principle that was first applied in the west. the protection of the water sheds and the regulation by storage of flood waters in streams. designed to offer in q somewhat similar way benefits to the east that have been given the west through the reclamation service and by presidential proclamation. The differ encc is that in the west public lands could be placed in reserves by proclamation. while in the east the lands belong to the states and must be bought by the government at a nominal figure. The moral support of the west is asked in furtherance of q principle the good re- suits of which have been first made ap- parent in the west
