MEETING OF
 WATER USERS

proponents of the building plan, Messrs. Kibbey, Hill, Wilkinson. Fowler. and others who followed them or participated in the debates, set forth the arguments in full that have been heretofore briefly men toned in this paper: That a tax of s16 to the quarter section in two payments of SS each or five cents an acre, would provide the building; that if this were not done, the rental eX- pense in a few years would equal the cost of the building; that rents are getting higher all the time; that the offices are not properly protected against fire; that a fire might cost the association what S50,000, would not replace; that new structure should provide vaults for all these records that could not be stored now in any fire proof place in town and that if they were, the cost would be prohibitive to say nothing of the in convenience; that the work of the as sociatiOn in the future is to supplant in a large measure that of the recia-

the middle west, a1l also to bring e the attention of visitors to my of- flee his instance of the enterprise of ihr salt River Vdll1r Water Users Association. In order to be able to do this more effectively I suggest that you send me d duplicate of the water color sketch above referred to- or, better still. photograph of it from which to make lantern slides and a coIored transparency. The slides could be used advantageously in lec- lures and the transparency I desire to hang in the reception room of our office in Chicago, where it would un- doubtedly attract a great deal of at tention. In this connection I wish also to suggest that if the board of trade and the Water Users Associa- tion should decide to cooperate in an exhibit at the United States Land and Irrigation exposition to be held in the Coliseum in Chicago, November 27 to December 4. it would be an ex- cellent idea to show a model of the proposed Water Users building or a color transparency of it. This would undoubtedly attract great deal of attention and do more than anything I can think of to stimulate interest in the valley at the exposition.
 Very truly yours.
 J. C. WAITE,
 tF Settlement Agent.
 The opposition to the building plan seemed to be led chiefly by H. A Bustrin, Lin Orme, J. P. Ivy, and several farmers from the West End. It was strengthened in discussion by quite a number of others. At the time of the real test vote which was 24 to 20 the gathering had lessened somewhat, and of the 20 who voted in opposition it was announced that at least one is not member of the association. There was goodly number of members present who seemed undecided as to the proper action and were not inclined to strongly favor either side until they had given the subject greater consid- eration.
 Among those not mentioned above who participated in the debates were H. R. Patrick, Nelson Bradley, w E. Lount, J. s. Howard. Judge Lang ston. w. D. Bell of Phoenix and the west end. and James Johnson and Charles Peterson of Mesa City. Some of them favored one side and some the other, while a third coterie was not prepared to vote on the resolution one way or the other.

 Phoenix. Ariz. July IA. 1909. Mir. B. A. rowler.
 President, Salt. River Valley Water
 Users Association,
 Phoenix. Arizona,
 Dear MT. Fowler:-
 As stated to you in conversation to- day, I have become very much inter- ested in the proposition of the Water Users Association to erect an admin istration building in Phoenix for the joint use of the association and the officers of the reclamation service. have seen in your office a water color drawing of the proposed build ing and was struck with the beauty of the design, no less than the ar engagement of the floor space, which seems ideal.
 You and the members of the asso- citation have no doubt considered all the questions of economy and con- venience which would be promoted by such a building, but there is one fea- ture which I consider of great inn portance which I wish to call to your attention. refer to the advertising value to the Salt River project that such a building would be. I believe that the publicity which would be given the project on account of the carrying out of this unique idea would be worth, in dollars and cents, a large percentage of the cost of the building In addition to this an amount of advertising would be given to the project by the large number of visitors to Phoenix, all of whom would be impressed with the enter prise and business sagacity shown by the people of the valley.
 In my work in Chicago, which. as you know. consists in advertising tile various projects of the reclamation service and promoting settlement up- on them. there is one matter that comes up daily for discussion, and that is the character and permanepce of the organization that is to con- tinue the operation and control of the irrigation works after the govern Hient ceases to exercises Jurisdiction. This is considered very important by prospective settlers and investors and anything which will stimulate their confidence is obviously of direct bene- fit to the project. The erection of a building such as that contemplated by the association will, I believe, very greasly increase the regard in which the Salt River project is held tp a pei son seeking a hcnr. on irrigated land. If the board O. governors de- cides to erect the building I shall be very glad to give the matter all pos siole publicity in the newspapers of

turned in to the association with the payments for the assessments made by the association itself.
 In this connection attention is call ed to the bylaw regarding assess ments which was adopted by the as-' sociation July 24, 1903. This bylaw. was based upon the collection of the assessments levied for the purpose of covering only the expense of the as- sociation. This bylaw should now, however, be amended so as to include the collection of the charges levied by the Secretary of the Interior for which purpose this office has pre- pared a bylaw for use on other pro- jects It is based upon the bylaw of your association and copy will be sent you shortly in order that the matter may be under consideration and an appropriate bylaw adopted by the time the secretary's public notice for the project is issued.
 Very truly yours,
 (Signed) I. H. NEWELL,
 Director.
 Pasadena, July 12th. MT. B. A. Fowler,
 Dear Sir:
 Yours of the 10th. It came as a surprise, for l had supposed in the meeting which I last attended. the matter of a Water Users Association building was practically decided and very wisely so. There are so urany reasons why it should be constructed and at once that 1 fail to see what opposition strong enough could be raised to counterbalance it.
 The extra assessment of 5c is a mere bagatelle and would not be felt. This is a step backward. not forward. We must show the newcomer that We believe in our valley. How better can we do it than by erecting a handsome building for an association that stands for progress. THE institu- tion that is making this valley. l certainly would vote for it if there.

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

Percy Byshee Shelley, the alchemist
whose magic pen transmitted the dross
of reality into the pure gold of fancy.
was born in Horsham, England. III
years ago today. He was the son of
Sir Timothy Shelley, and was edu-
Gated at Elton and University College
Oxford. 1t has been said that "Knowl-
edge is dead. and oxford is his widow"
but in the case Of Shelley the meas
ured discipline of the widow was
not sufficient to stamp out the origi-
nality and the spirit of revolt that ever
fermented in the heart and brain of
the sweet singer of England. While
still at the great English university
he wrote and published anonymously
scholastic thesis entitled, "a De-
Tense Of Atheism Aghast at such a
klasphemy, the powers at Oxford urg-
ed the youthful atheist to recant. Re
fusing. he was at once expelled. There
came a time, however, when Oxford
pointed with pride at Shelley as her
greatest son.
Leaving the narrow confines of the
university, Shelley became a student
in that greater university of the world.
His first notable poetical product was

Steps should De taken at once by
the council to provide for the con-
struction of a reservoir of sufficient
size to hold the required amount of
water to supply the city for at least
three or four days at time. l realize

amount of the real estate owned by
the city be sold and the moneys de-
rived therefrom be applied to the cost
of constructing the reservoir. If i'm
mediate action is taken the reservoir
could be built and ready for use be-
fore the usual freshets occur in the
fall. A reservoir would not only enable
us to supply the city with good, clear
and healthful water, but will provide

This was followed in 1916 by "Alastor.
or the Spirit of Solitude and in 1917
by the Revolt of Islam," a poem in the
Spenserian stanza.
The history of Shelley's loves has
been written many times, and there
are but few who are not familiar
with the details of his unfortunate
elopement in 1911, with Harriet West
brook. The girl, then only Is, was the
daughter of a retired innkeeper and
was in every way untitled to be the
companion of the soaring genius vi
poesy. The artistic temperament Of
Shelley soon led to domestic differ
ences, and after returning with her
two children to her father, Mrs. Shell
ley committed suicide by drowning
This tragedy affected Shelley deep
ly, but he sought Solace in the SOci-
ETY. of Mary Goodwin, with whom he
had visited the continent in 1914, and
by whom he had had a child Soon
after his first Wife's death Shelley and
Mary Goodwin were married. Despite
his differences with his first wife,
was very fond of the two
children of his early marriage, and
when the courts decided that he was
unfit to be intrusted with their care, he
was stricken with grief. Leaving Eng
land in 1918, he spent the remainder
of his short and troubled career in
Italy. He spent some time with Lord
Byron at Venice. and after wandering
through Italy, settled finally at Pisa

Fire Department.

Our fire department is certainly I'M
surpassed by any city of an equal size
to Walla Walla, and is one that we can
justly feel proud Of. With the addit-
ion of the new automobile combination
chemical and hose wagon, which has
been contracted for, this department
will be far in advance of the present
requirements of our city, yet by this
addition We will be able to make a
large reduction in the maintenance and
operation of this department
Health and Police.
Particular attention should he Civ
en- by the committee on health and
police to the small matters that effect
the health of our citizens and every
precaution should be taken to ensure
the best health to the entire community
The board of health must keep busy
at all times enforcing the health ord
indnces and rules and regulations OF
the health department and also stand
firmly behind the chief of police and
his officers in their efforts to enforce
the laws and ordinances of the city
Street Lighting.
CAS- the expense of lighting the
city is becoming very heavy it is es-
sential that great care should be eX-
ercised by the committee in charge of
this department in recommending the
installing of many more street lights.
The members of this committee should
investigate thoroughly every demand
made for lights and be sure that it is
absolutely necessary to place one in
commission before advising the coun-
ell. 1t appears as though We should
have 10 refrain from installing any
great number of new ones for the time
being

should not be overlooked by the coun7
