USE OF DITCH WATER
 SHOULD BE AVOIDED
FOR DRINKING AND HOUSEHOLD
 PURPOSES.
It Is Filled With Impurities From De-
 cayed Vegetable Matter.

People who have been in the habit of using ditch water for drinking pur- poses are cautioned to desist in the practice as it is pretty likely to be unhealthful at the present time and for some time to come. Readers may have noticed that of late the canal water has a greenish tinge, peculiar color that it has never had before. This it is said is accounted for by the ac- cumulation of water at the Roosevelt dam In this vast area of reservoir there were hundreds of trees and countless patches of brush. In addi- ton to this, the different floods since the partial construction of the dam has contributed to the accumulation great quantities of driftwood. All of this vegetable matter now in process of decay and it is not to be wondered at that the water from the reservoir should bt green in color and it stands to reason it contains more or less inn pure matter that will not be beneficial to the health. It would be best to avoid using canal water when possible but if not, it should first be boiled.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.

There's many a romance that had
 it's beginning at Grand Canyon, but
 it is not often that one eliminates
 so quickly as did that of Charles M.
 Hamilton and Miss Clara B. Fisher
 who were married in the Sun parlor of the Hotel WeatherfOrd Wednesday evening. Miss Fisher was a sten-
 ographer in the claim department
 of the Baltimore (. Ohio railroad at
 St Louis and was taking a months vacation. She was en route to San Francisco, and reading on the train of the wonders of Grand Canyon de- cided to make a side trip to the
 great chasm. Not being satisfied with a peep over the rim, she en- gagged Charles NJ. Hamilton, who conducts an independent livery busi- ness, to be her guide down the Bright Angel trail. MT. Hamilton has guided thousands of tourists down this trail, but there was some thing in the personality of this young lady that was different from that of any other he had ever seen which he could not resist, and before the bottom of the canyon was reached Cupid was giving this couple his special attention. The lady said over and over again that she could not say yes, but the stalwart guide was not the kind of man to take no for an answer. When she boarded the train next morning so did he, leaving his livery business to take care of itself Before reaching Will Hams he had altered the young lady's itinerary so that it included a visit to Flagstaff. Arriving at Flagstaff the couple registered at the Hotel Weatherford and ar hour later Judge F. J. Kidd pronounced them man and wife in the sun parlOr of the Wealth erford. Mir. and Mrs. Hamilton de- parted the next day, Mir Hamilton returning to his business at Grand Canyon and Mrs. Hamilton going to San Francisco to secure her bag gage, after which she will visit an uncle in Fresno. and then return to the scene of her romance. Mir Hamilton certainly believes in obey ing the scriptural injunction, "Chil- dren obey your parents On the morning of the day he guided Miss Fisher down the trail his mother, who had been wis ting him at the canyon, departed for home in Sioux City. Upon leaving she reminded her son that he is now past thirty, and admonished hirn to get married. Before reaching Sioux City she re- ceived a telegram from here dutiful son telling her that her advice had been needed.

PUBLIC SCHOOL PLAY

EVERYBODY ENJOYED TT AND

The Young People Showed Much Care

'The Millers Daughter or Bound | in Honor" was presented by the pu- pills of the graduating class of the
 Tempe public school to a packed house at the Goodwin theater Friday even | ing. That every one present got his or her moneys worth was plainly indicat- ed by the abundant amount of applause ! that marked every climax during the 1 play and which followed every act. The play was rather a heavy proposi- tion for people so young to tackle with little experience in work on the stage. but those taking part did splendidly and showed the result of much careful training and persistent practice. Not hitch of any kind occurred; every line was spoken without hesitation and the entire play went off smoothly.
 The production was of a melodram- atic nature and several of the promi- nent characters in the cast died a stage death. violent or otherwise at fitting moments during the progress of the play. The play opened with the first scene at the Miller cottage and his daughter is driven from home because she defines to marry Squire Thorn ton, thereby lifting the mortgage on the home. Following there are the us ual incidents in play of this kind and as is always the case all ends happily in the last act. The miller forgives his child and there is a family reunion. The play was concluded with an appropri- ate song. Home Again
 It would be impossible to mention each character indicidually. but special mention is due one or two. All the comedy of the piece. and there was a good deal Of it was supplied by Ger aldine Hodnett and Robbie Stewart as Beauty Lynne and Dickey Brown. These two were perhaps the most nat ural of the entire cast and played their parts to perfection. Mabel Quinn had a difficult role in Mountain Mag" and carried out the part very successfully. Others in the cast were Leland St Louis. Hugh Cummings. Russell Woods. Roy Richards. Ralph Thew George Seals. Grace Hudlow. Pearl Powers. Laura Wickliff and Carmela Martinez; the last named. in the dou- ble part of the miller's daughter and Mile Cerani was especially good.
 Between the last two acts Professor Robertson. under whose direction the play was given. spoke briefly and thanked the audience for its liberal applause and attendance. He also took occasion to thank various other par ties who had assisted him in the prep aration of the play and which largely tended to it's success.
 Mention should also be made of the splendid music provided between Che acts by Cecil Mullen on the violin, ac- companied by her sister, Miss Lois Mullen.
 All in all. the play was a pleasing success in every way and decidedly gratifying to the pupils taking part in it and those who were engaged in the preparation of it. The liberal patron age of the public made it possible for the young people to fulfill cherished desire for they are now able to pur- chase a book case and books which will be left at the public school as a token from the class of 1909.

 Wednesday evening the Schubert society presented "The Japanese Girl" an operetta in two acts. The scene is laid in a Japanese garden. The star of the play is a Japanese girl of position who is about to celebrate her eighteenth birthday which is regarded in Japan as the coming of age" This character was most charmingly impersonated by Miss Vera Metcalf. In the play the mikado hOnors the occasion with his presence. This character was most admirably represented by Sen nosuke Takenake, a native of Japan, who came to the states a year ago from Kobe, and is now in the employ of the Weatherford hotel. In taking the seat of honor Tahenake was the personification of oriental dignity, and received a vociferous applause. The program was as follows:
