of this surplus water at any time is to
be reserved In all contracts. Contracts
for water and power with other muni-
cipalitles are to be made for not more
than fifteen years and must be ap-
proved by vote of the people.
The right Is given the city to con-
denim the property of any public SER
vice corporation when the people vote
IN favor of such condemnation. If
bonds are to be issued to acquire the
property a two-thirds vote is required,
but if the cost is to be paid out of city
funds a majority will decide
No ordinance shall be passed by the
council on the day of its Introduction
except by q two-thirds vote
The right is given the mayor TO veto
any item of resolution or ordinance
providing for the expenditure of money
without inValidating the whole.
Provision is made for a city prosecut-
ing attorney, but whether he is to be
appointed by the city attorney or by
the council is still an open question.
Now the city prosecutor is really a
deputy Of the city attorney.
MORE POWER FOR ATTORNEY
The city attorney is given the right
to institute litigation without first OBJ
tanning the consent of the council, but
the council has the right to order the
suit dismissed If it sees fit.
Some slight changes are made in the
initiative and referendum as well as
the recall. A per cent petition is
required to initiate an ordinance in
stead of per cent, ais is now the case.
A Is per cent petition requires that
the ordinance must either be passed
by the council within twenty days
or submitted to a vote at a special
election To amend an initiative ordi-
nance requires a petition of 25 per
cent.
With changes in the referendum the
council is. given the right to submit
one of it's own ordinances to a refer
endum vote A 10 per cent petition is
required to refer an ordinance instead
of 7 per cent as at present, and If
an additional petition Is filed that
brings the percentage up to 15, the
council must at once call special
election.
The recall retains the same percent
age, namely 25 per cent, but it can be
invoked against all appointlVe of1cefs,
as we'll as those elected.
In other amendments the cumber-
some system of checks and balances
that has grown up in the city's book
keeping is eliminated, and it will be
a. much simpler matter for merchants
to get their money from the city after
presenting their bills than 1t has been
In the past.
SALARIES NOT DECIDED
One of the most important features
that the commission has yet to decide
Is the salaries that are to be paid
the city officials. 1t Is the intention to
have as few salaries in the charter as
possible and leave the others to be
fixed by ordinance. No conclusion has
been reached in this matter, but 1t is
certain that a number Of increases
will be provided. The mayor will be
raised to not less than $4,000 year and
possibly more. He now receives $360O
q year.
When the amendments have been
finally polished up to suit the charter
commission they must be submitted
to the council for approval, and the
council will then have to submit them
to a vote of the people. The election
must be held not later than the lat
| ter part of February, for the amended

RECALL APPLIED
 WITH GOOD RESULTS
CFrom Wednesdays DaJly)

Reese NJ. Ling, who returned yes terday from Phoenix, and wno had the misfortune to prOpel the unlueky thirteen ear in the memorable trip from this city, in speaking to friends of the many spurts and stops made by his machine, sifted the trouble down to the magneto as the organic base of the ills experienced. He used as a simile of the troubles passed through the conduct of the Constitu tional convention, as it is evident in the Capital City at the present ses- sion, it would go some and the2 it would spoil everything by refusing to budge an inch when it knew it was wrong. In short, it did not know where it was half of the time. The Recall was applied, after many doeile initiatives and referendums were in jected, the latter mainly in the form of muscular activity and language that was vociferous in its entreaties.
 Finally, every principle in meehan- ies was reversed, and after he got his eyes opened the magneto evil was To- cated just as he passed under the wire at the Gazette office, twenty eight hours late and out of the race altogether.
 MT. Ling said that if he had re- versed his application of the advice given in the beginning, he would have had clean sailing and probably would nave won the golden cup.
 In speaking of the Fair, he unhes- itatingly declares it the finest ever held in Arizona, and that the credit is unequivocally due to the able and earnest manner in which Hugh &. Campbell of Flagstaff directed it. NIT. Campbell has won the commendation of all citizens, and to his individual effort the country has its thanks to extend him in a spirit of gratitude and esteem from the beginning to the end of his administration.

(From wednesday.s paIlyl

Yavapai is already reaping the reward of being acclaimed the first county in the Territory in agricul- tural and horticultural products. Prof. R. W. Clothier, in charge of the Ag- rieultural Bureau of the University of Arizona, and Prof. J. J. Thorn Der of the Botanical Department of the same institution, passed through the city yesterday, en route to the Verde Valley, to deliver lectures, and above all, to see that wonderful and productive region.
 The mission of the visitors is to be- gin a series of lectures in which sub jects covering the eoddling moth, pruning of fruit trees, soil manage ment and rotation of crops will be treated.

 Prof. Clothier is recognized as an authority in his line, and was fire quently consulted by the judges at the Territorial Fair, when delicate situations confronted the board over awards. Through his keen knowledge of the products of the soil and his unbiased judgment, Yavapai was ma terially assisted in receiving the high est honor
 This is the first time these men have visited Northern Arizona. and both are elated at coming to such an inviting region, after it made such a favorable showing in the products of its soil. They are accompanied by c. D. Willard of Upper Verde.

ous washouts are reduced to a min imum.
 Leading to the military rifle range, six miles on this road, it is probable the government will make an appropriation during the coming year for it's maintenance, in which case a splendid highway will be open. From the rifle range to the point of divergence for the Territorial nigh way, the grade is pronounced the best in the country, and on which autos can travel as rapidly as desired and without any danger.
 It is also proposed in connection with the building of ten mile speedway, to have an inner track of one mile for any purpose desired, the cost of which will be insignificant, owing to the contour of the land.
 Several people drove out to the site of the proposed speedway, Sunday, and all were favorably impressed with it and the inauguration of the enterprise

The plan is to take surveyor to the pro- posed site to make a reconnaissance of the ground, estimate the cost and select site for the grandstand.
 Since the project has been an- nounced it has been proposed to change the route of the Territorial road from this city to Flagstaff, so that it will pass the place. There are many who favor the change as most desirable from the fact that it is already built from here a distance of over sixteen miles and can be di- verged from the present proposed route at a nominal cost.

DEWEY AND CAMP VERDE RAILROAD
 PROJECTED

Yesterday the important announce ment was made that inside of two years Camp Verde and Prescott would be connected by rail and fur ther it was believed that work on this important project would be in augurated within a short time. In conjunction with this statement by a prominent resident of this city, the arrival of Robert Finnie from Camp Verde threw additional light on the matter. when he stated that J. H.. Wingfield, merchant of Camp Verde, informed him the day before that his offer made several months ago of a donation of land for depot and rail road purposes, generally, at that point, had been revived in eorre- spondence during the past few days, and he was informed that the offer would be regarded in the spirit in which it was rendered and asking him of his disposition at the present time.
 On being asked where the road would leave the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, the Journal Miners inform ant stated no definite place had as yet been chosen, but it was reported that Dewey would be selected.
 The line will also be an independ- ent one, having no association what ever with any other, and will be so operated. As to the route, after it leaves Dewey, or whether the survey ed route of the projected Humbold. and Verde Valley railway would be followed no information was obtain able.
 Major Purdy figured prominently as the promoter of the enterprise, and with whom were several others residing in the county, among them Major Doran of this city. The ques- tion of the right of way over cer- tain lands belonging to the govern ment was legalized a few months ago when Congress authorized the ae- eeptance of the charter of this rail road and its right to traverse the desired sections.
 The Verde Valley is the granary of Northern Arizona, and from statis- tics of its agricultural and horticul- tural productions, compiled few years ago by George w. Hance, suf- ficient data was obtained to warrant the building of the proposed railroad. Since that time the valley has more than trebled its annual yield, besides many additional enterprises have been created.
 It is said that the loss this year to the valley in fruit alone that has gone to waste for the reason of ex- cessive cost in reaching a market, will run into the thousands of dol lars. The same prevails to some ex- tent with other crops.
