made that thousands of dollars has

continued under Mayor Pennington,

into the water department about $50

the meter system and save what had
been spent After careful investiga-
tion, in which leak was discovered
OF 80 million gallons of water yearly,
which in money Amounted to $l2,500.
The board authorized the purchase of
additional meters to perfect this sys-
TEN and save what was going to
waste. \ purchase was made of COO
meters at cost of Sl2 each, upon the
same terms as the former meters
were bought, as We had no money in
hand and the bond issue seemed in
great trouble. Part of these meters
, have been installed, a good number
are on hand, and the remainder are
being shipped at the rate of 100 per
month. A few additional extra size
meters bave been bought and one 6
inch meter has been purchased to
measure the water pumped into the
city. Concrete boxes must be built
around each meter to protect it from
the elements, and an iron cover must
be placed over each one for safety
The work of setting meters has been
delayed on account of getting these
covers, but in about three months time
the system will be complete at a
cost OF $4,000. The immediate effect
of installing meters has been to in
crease the revenues OF water about
$500 per month, which represents wat
er saved from waste and reduced
pumping bill Was it wrong to do
this. The city has now twenty miles
of various sizes of water pipe in ac.

issue. To take care of this line with
all of the breaks and leaks, three
men are employed, one at $50 per
month and two at sl.75 per day. The
$40 man is Gus Miller and 1t is well

CHARLES KING
 SUCCUMbS TO WOUND

JEROME, Ariz., Aug 91.-Night Officer Charles King, who was shot and mortally wounded, Saturday night, by N. D. Chavez, died this morning at 1O:4O o'clock. It was evident to the attending physicians since last night that he was slowly sinking. He breathed his last with out the least warning that the end was so near.
 The announcement of his death caused a feeling of the deepest gloom. It was the only topic dis cussed, and the sorrow of every resi- dent was centered in sympathetic ex- pressions over the sad fate that over took the popular officer. The cruel and cowardly manner in which he met his death, after eight years of official life that gave him the re- gard and good will of all law-abiding people, his genial fellowship at all times, and other admirable character istics, called forth universal sorrow.
 Immediately after his death was announced, preparations were made to take charge of the last sad rites. It was a community move, and inti- mate friends of the deceased, to- gether with his bereaved widow, were asked to permit of this re- quest on behalf of his citizenship. A meeting was called by the volun- teer firemen, of which he was a member. It was the largest and best attended in the history of the and the scene was the most pathetic ever witnessed here. Many men were present who were intimately acquainted with the de- ceased, and there were men also in

AUTO CLUB HOLDS
 IMPORTANT SESSION

Thursday evening the Prescott Auto Club held a special meeting for the consideration of many time ly questions, and for action on sev- eral propositions, the attendance be- ing large and the interest for good roads unabated. Among the ques- tions discussed that of the repairing of the famous loop through Jerome Junction received much considera- tion, and it was decided to get the King drag into service within the next few days, to make needed i'm provements on this popular driveway.
 The race to Phoenix during the Territorial Fair also received con- sideration, although the club, as an organization, would not entertain the proposition outlined by the man agers of the Fair. It is probable that there will be several machines on the road on the day of the race. The Black Canyon route will prob ably be selected, the distance being only 105 miles and the grade in bet ter condition than through Wicken- burg.
 Of the forty machines in the city, there were twenty-eight represented at the meeting, and from the desire of those who have not as yet sub mitted their names, it is probable that every owner of car will soon be enrolled on the list of member ship.
 The club is outlining a varied program of good road work, and the interest is unabated to have the best that is possible, considering the rev enue available. The, work accom- plished in the past and the outlay of money used by the organization was sanctioned as the most judiciOus ever expended, and to keep up the good work was the motto.
 The Territorial highway, as far as completed, was heartily endorsed, many of the members going over the route in the past week.
 Another meeting will be held in "a short time, when definite arrange ments will be concluded for exten- sive work at points to be designated after the summer rains are over.

ARMY POST MAY BE
 BUILT AT DOUGLAS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 31.- Radical changes in the location of forts in Arizona and New Mexico were recommended today in his an nual report to the War Department by Brigadier General Earl D. Thomas, commander of the Department of the Colorado.
 The abandonment of Fort Apache, Arizona, is recommended. Although located in a well watered country, with a climate "that is not excelled anywhere" General Thomas says it is very isolated, far removed from any settlements, and exceedingly diff feult to maintain, even in the best of seasons, "beeause of the wagon haul over ninety miles of horrible road.'
 eff the semi-neglect of Fort Hua- cnuca during the last few years is significant and if future abandon ment is contemplated, General 1HOhds cOnIIHues, TecOmmenu the establishment of a new post in this section of Arizona to accommodate at least one squadron of cavalry"
 Suitable sites, he continues, are to be found in the vicinity of Douglas, Arizona.
 The abandonment of Fort Win gate, in New Mexico, and the con- struetion of a regimental cavalry post, sufficient at first to aeeommo- date the headquarters and the two sqnadrons of cavalry near Albuquer- que, were recommended.

CLEMENCY ASKED FOR
 FORMER BANKERS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 3O.-Num- erous letters have been sent from Bisbee within the last fortnight by men of prominence, asking elemeney of the attorney general of the United States in behalf of J. H. Nolan, for mer cashier, and W. D. Eddleman, former president, of the defunet First National Bank of that city. Both are now ineareeerated in the Territorial prison at Florence, to which they were sentenced following their conviction at Tombstone upon charges of wreeking the institution.
 The wives of each of the men are making heroic endeavors to secure the signatures of men of prom thence to the petitions, suggesting a pardon for the former bankers. No large petition is intended to be se- sured, however, in order to avoid at tendant publicity and comment.
 Both men have, since their inear- eeratiOn, proved themselves to be model prisoners, amenable to prison rules and capable as workers in the bookkeeping department, in which they are working.

TEMPE SECURES THE
 NEW CEMENT PLANT

GLOBE, Ariz, Aug. 31. The Roosevelt cement plant, recently pur- chased from the government by the Arizona Cement company, will be located at Tempe. Definite an nouncement to that effect was macs here today by a member of the com pany, it having been decided to To- cate at Tempe, by reason of a num- Der of advantages offered by that district.
 While the lime and clay beds of the company, which, by authorita- tive tests will produce cement mak- ing materials of the highest grade, are locoted midway between Winkel- man and Hayden, it was found that by locating at Tempe instead of at Winkelman, as had been originally planned, an advantageous contract can be made with the Reclamation service for electric power, and in addition, good railroad rates can be secured. It is stated that the raw materials can be shipped some 70 miles to the proposed site of the plant and turned into cement, cheap CT than it could be manufactured at the site of the mineral deposits.
 The plant will be located about two and one-half miles from Tempe, on a site which has been donated by public spirited citizens. A con tract for moving and re-erecting the cement plant will be let within a few days, and before the end of the year the plant will be in opera tion.
 About 800 barrels of cement will be turned out daily. It will be of an excellent quality, according tS tests of the material and should be in considerable demand in Arizona, several good sized contracts for ce- ment having already been signed up by the new concern.

enee wanted him to proceed and he responded to the encore, as he had planned to do all along.
 He is an entertaining speaker, be- ing gifted with the trick of em- bellishing his arguments with rhetor- ical rounded periods that gloss over the fallscious theories he advances. While advocating the initiative and referendum for all political ailments, and while exeoriating E. E. Ellin- wood in every other breath, he ne- glected to explain why Ellinwood and Ives, the two big corporation lawyers of the south, are working vigorously for those measures. If the corporations, which, as Cleary says, are at the root of all evil, want the initiative and referendum in the Constitution, who is to be trusted-they or Cleary7 Perhaps, neither.
 Cleary advised the Democrats pres ent to scratch every man on his ticket who had suspicious assoeia- tions or connections, and urged the Republicans to vote the Labor Party ticket.
 He was listened to attentively and his remarks were frequently ap- plauded.

the gathering from whose eyes the tears of sorrow fell. It was the most tender and sympathetic expression of the hundreds present that has ever been recorded in a community of this size.
 Later there was a revulsion of the sorrow and gloom. The reality of the cold-blooded murder seizeo everyone, and had Chavez been in the city and within reach, he would have been torn in shreds by the in furiated people. The excitement is still so intense that it has been de- cided to abandon the Mexican natal day celebration on September 18th and 16th. It is given out by the authorities that the celebration will not be permitted under any eondi- tions.
 The Democratic meeting for to. morrow night was cancelled and the band picnic for Thursday was also abandoned.
 The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at ? o'clock, under the auspices of the Jerome Fire Depart ment, and interment will be had in the Jerome cemetery. Every business house will be closed during the hours of the funeral.
 MT. King was 46 years old, and was born in Illinois. He had been an officer of this town eight eonsee- utive years, recently receiving a re- appointment, and while in the dis charge of his duty was assassinated
 He leaves a widow, who was with him when the end came. She is ex- tended the sorrow and sympathy of all in her deep bereavement.

IMPERIAL MINES
 ARE NOT CLOSED

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. SO.-Not only have the Imperial Copper com pany's mines at Silverbell not closed down, but there is no intention that they shall. This statement is made on the highest authority and cor reets a report published which is said to have been brought to Tucson by discharged employe.
 The only change in the operations of the company is the diseontinuanee temporarily of the shipment of ore from the mines to the shelter during the low price of copper. Develop ment in the mines will continue, and the ore, instead of being shipped to the smelter and sold in a very low market, will be held for smelting and sold when the market conditions improve, it is stated.
