 Ralph Chipperfield of Phoenix visit ed with the Wilson boys on Thursday
 Last Friday afternoon six of the la dies of the district met at the home of Mrs. Thompson in order to organ ize a club. At first it was thought this would be something similar to the mothers circles of the different schools in Phoenix, but it was finally decided to embrace other things than child study. Considering that all are such busy mothers and homekeepers, when there is an opportunity to meet the time cannot be devoted to any one thing, but will have to comprise any thing relating to both the duties of mothers and homekeepers, and as ev- cry lady in the district has either one or both of these offices for the prin- cipal work of her life, it is hoped that all will join in and endeavor to make these meetings as interesting as pos sible from an intellectual standpoint and also from a sociable one. Later on, perhaps. the training of husbands will-be considered. At its first meet ing on February 26, Mrs. Edson was elected president and Mrs. c. c. Black secretary. The second meeting was with Mrs. Edson on Friday, March ,. but too late for any report to be made In these columns.
 There was a meeting of the people of the district at the school house on last Monday night to consider the making of a new lateral on the CO., operative plan. Reed and Parish of the reclamation service were present. A committee of three was appointed to walt upon the people and find their opinion of the project. A report was made at another meeting held on Fri day evening at the school house, at which the president of the water users association, B. A. Fowler, as we'll as the two engineers before mentioned, were present.
