1E n HEN Mrs. Justwed first sug-
81 gested that she visit her mother,
p for a week or so, Mr.. ].
~B frowned. When she dilated
w upon the solemn obligation
resting upon her not to allow
her marriage to make herself and her
mother total strangers-simply because
she happened to live in one city and her
mother In another some eighty miles
distant-Mr. Justwed came out frankly
and fatty and stated that he thought
the whole thing absurd and a luxury far
beyond the logical expenditure of their
income.
But, when Mrs. Justwed suggested that
since he felt that way about it, Nom
mer" might Just as well visit them
Mr.. Justwed capitulated so quickly that
Mrs. J. was sorely puzzled.
And her wonderment grew each day,
for Mr.. ]. doomed the proposed trip at
breakfast, at dinner and even while read
ing the evening paper around their ten
forty" mission table in the living room.
Perhaps it was merely to call Mrs. Us
attention to an advertisement Of some
thing or other that she simply ought to
have for the journey-but pause he did,
in his reading, and explain-whereas Mr..
j. usually grew hopelessly peevish and
irritable if interrupted in his perusal Of
the news.
He brought home timetables galore.
He wrote to "MOmmer" himself, stating
exactly what time Mrs. J. would arrive
and expanded and amplified the utter
horror and despair Mrs. J. would ex-
perience should she. by any chance, ar
rive at the station and find no one there
to meet her. He walked to the bank of
a morning, got out an old pipe and cut
out cigars, and insisted that Mrs. ].
provide but the plainest of food for the
week preceding the journey-in order TO
insure the means to finance the trip
And Mrs. Justwed's wonder grew each
day. Indeed. It seemed that Homer-dear
was anxious for her TO go. That would
never do! Could it be that he planned a
wild week Of hilarity with the boon com
panions of his days OF single blessed
ness? Did he welcome her departure as
a glorious opportunity to kick over the
traces In one grand. woozely hooray7
Hardly But II was difficult to under
stand Homer-dear's very apparent joy as
the time of departure drew near. Any
one would admit that
At last the eyentful day arrived Mr..
J hurried home from the bank an hour
before closing time-to be with Mrs.
Justwed every moment until her train
left in the late afternoon. Mr.. ]. was
1ubilant - remembering, however, TO

DAILY WATER REPORT
FLOW At ROOSEVELT
An Even Four Feet Was PASSING Over
the Dam Yesterday.

The water was running over Roose-
welt dam yesterday to the depth of
exactly four feet or $50 second feet
with 125 second feet running through
the penstock tunnel, to total of 1885
second feet or 43,4OO inches.
At Rheims station yesterday the
reading was 1888 second feet in the
Salt and 1872 in the Verde or a total of
900 second feet which equals $4,000
inches. The difference between the
reading at Ritchin asnd at Roosevelt
is quite pronounced, showing that
the breast of the greater flow had not
yet got down to Rheims.
OF the amount at Rheims, $4,000
inches, 1882 inches was diverted into
the canals of the valley, 17497 inches
going into the north side canals This
was divided between the Appropria-
tors and the. Salt canals with sixteen
hour runs in the former and twenty
four hour runs in the latter The
Maricopa is dry and the Arizona
practically so, though sixteen hour
runs will be started in the Arizona
today, with the very limited surplus
that can be given that ditch at this
time. By the end of the week it is
expected the regular run service in
I the Arizona will begin.
Lon Teal called up The Republican
last night to protest against the
statement that the farmers are now
getting practically all the water they
want. He said that he had las acres
part of which is under the Ari-
IONA and partly under the Maricopa
b canal and hn no !
water in about five weeks except 8
three hour run from the Arizona, q
ewelve hour run in the Maricopa this
! week and eight hours in the Maricopa
on the last former run.
