 CASA GRAnDE VALLEY One Canal Company Files Map of Diversion Dam Site. Movement For Forming a Water Users
 Association.

J. NJ. Jamison, attorney for Charles R. SliSh and associates. owners of the Casa Grande Canal company. yester- day filed in the land office. a map showing the location of a diversion dam proposed to be constructed to turn water from the Gila river into their canal The site is said to be an excellent one the river at that point being narrow and quite easily controlled. The word easily" is used in a comparative sense for no Arizona river is ever very easily handled when it gets its temper up.
 The location of the dam site is said to be within a mile of the present point of diversion and little below it on the river. It is understood the diversion point of the W. C. Greene canal will be some distance farther up the river.

\ sPAAARD'S NOTIONS
 OF 4 WEES DUTY
Brought Out in Trial Of cuiiiard oi-
 vorce Case.

Among the matters of the law day session of the district court yesterday was the divorce suit of Carolina Cuil- lard against Antenogones Cuillard. in the trial of which Attorney Goodwin for the plaintiff brought out some in teresting facts, or rather one inter esting fact, of the married life of the parties. which began in Phoenix in 1904, when the plaintiff was r years of age.
 The plaintiffs madden name was Carolina Ebertz. Her father was q native of Missouri and her mother was a Mexican of Tempe. Both parents were dead. Her father was interested in an estate in Missouri from which she had received shortly before her marriage an installment of little more than s1.000. It was understood that on the settlement of the estate she would receive a great deal more.
 This understanding had inspired Cuillard to seek her in marriage. Gull lard vas a Spsnlard and cIanned to DC of superior blood. This claim and T somewhat flashing appearance had easily captivated the young girl. and after her marriage she surrendered her fortune into his hands.
 Cuillard lost no time in stating to his young wife his idea of the marriage relation. It was the duty of the wife to support the husband in luxury If possible and If not in luxury. at least in comfort. IL did not. he said. com port with the dignity of a castilian gentleman to engage in labor or in renumerative employment in any form.
 Thereupon he proceeded with the cx- penditure of her patrlmony. He did not waste it but realizing the small ness of it expended it judiciously. though a pant. of it went to purchase pleasures for other women; not much.

manifestly wrong. On the contrary the railroad plans as both dam sites are far below the Gila canyon.
 The Sligh interests if their storage project should be carried through would, it is true, balk the railroad. to the extent that they planned "stor- ase'' dam that would submerge the low line through the canyon. but that is an entirely different dam. If there is any deduction to be made that af- fects the railroad it would be that the railroad company having con- tended that the Sligh interests had a fine irrigation project even without storage dam, has proceeded to in terest Colonel Greene in demonstrat- ing its contention. It is reported that Colonel Randolph is interested with Colonel Greene and there has been no intimation Of Colonel Ran dolph having deserted the Southern Pacific in it's extremity.
 It is learned also that Judge Kip bey went to Florence yesterday for the purpose of assisting the farmers of the Casa Grande valley in the pre- liminaries of forming water users association, patterned somewhat after the one in this valley and designed to assure the farmers protection in the event of their decision 10 cooperate with one or the other of the canal companies. The meeting had been well advertised among the Casa Grande valley land owners and it was expected q large acreage would be represented in the meeting.

"BUMPING THE BUMPS"

I went down to Coney Island one night They tell me it's good place to find missing people, writes Hubert Footner in January Putnams. My land.

WINTER SONG.

Through mud that's two feet deep. Sing a song of winter Air so crisp and clear! Sunshine in the distance And joy bells ringing near! Snowflakes lightly falling To warm the buds asleep, Then a thaw and next a tramp Through mud that's two feet deep
 Id Sing a song of winter When the frost is white And the tonsilitis germ Seeks you day and night, When the wind is signing Sadly through the trees; Your furnace isn't working And the water pipes will freeze!" Sing a song of winter Sing it anyway; You've got to have your troubles. There are debts that life must pay, So set 'em to a jingle As you laugh at fate perverse, Sing a song of winter And be glad itisn't worse!

Hughes Objects to Income Tax.

In his special message to the New York legislature. Governor Hughes states frankly his reasons for oppos- ing the proposed constitutional amend ment providing for a federal income tax. The governor. while approving ! the abstract proposition of an income tax. urges that the pending proposi- ton is objectionable, in that it pro- vides that there shall be a tax on in comes from whatever source de- rived" He points out that this would enable the government to impose a tax on state and municipal bonds held by investors. which are usually ex- empt from taxation under state laws and that the imposition of this fed eral tax would make it necessary for states and municipalities to pay high CT rates of interest than is now nec- essary. It has been assumed that the New York legislature would vote for the constitutional amendment. but the objections of Governor Hughes prob ably will lead to it's defeat in that state.
 ture on the question of the income tax will be a live question next year. if this territory is admitted into the Union.

The Phoenix.e Globe Wagon Road.

The territorial auditor and the ter ritorial engineer having made recon naissance of the proposed territorial road from Globe to Roosevelt. they are quoted by the Globe papers as being enthusiastically in favor of building the road
 The construction of good road be- tween the Roosevelt dam and the city of Globe will give the people of the territory a magnificent highway from Phoenix to Globe-the road al- ready in existence from this val ley to Roosevelt being one of the fin est highways in the United States. If the road to be constructed by the already in operation this side of Roosevelt. it will be one of the best possible object lessons as to the util- ity and value of good roads.
 As popular driveway, the Phoenix Globe road will be superior in attrac- tions to any other 1OO-mile road in America. The 3O-mile drive from the old mining camp of Goldfield, through the Superstition mountains to Roose- welt. brings into constant view a pam orama of mountain scenery which is second only to the Grand Canyon in grandeur. Leaving Roosevelt, the ex- tension of the line will take travellers through a region equally charming in scenery. For miles they can look across the great reservoir-the largest artificial lake in the world-to the towering rim of the Mogollon moun- tains. and every mile of the distance into Globe will be a delight Auto mobiles will be able easily to make the round trip between the two cities in a day. if necessary. and the pleas ures of a leisurely drive by team or machine between Phoenix and Globe will appeal to every lover of out doors in Arizona"

The unanimous approval of the statehood bill by the house committee on territories indicates that the house will be unanimous in the passage of the bill Such opposition as may exist will develop in the senate, where there may be a tug of war. The powerful influence of President Taft and his cabhet-especially Postmaster Cen eral Hitchcock-will be exerted in fa- vor of the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, and this would seem to assure the success of the bill Very probably the people can be informed definitely as to the outcome when Governor Sloan returns to, the terri tory.

groups that had feared to antagonize him. The Rock Island crowd. par ticularly. began to formulate new plans Their first move was to vol untarily divorce theg Rock Island from the St Louis & San Francisco sys- tenn, the relinquishment of the to the Rock Islafd Syndicate. The Wall street explanation of this move is, that the Rock Island people have a gigantic plan of reaching from coast to coast. and disposed of the St. Louis & San Francisco in order to have free hand in carrying out a strictly Rock Island scheme of con- trolling tracks reaching from the At lantic to the Pacific. There is no as- surance. of course. that the Rock Island would come through Phoenix, but it is a possibility to be kept in mind by our public spirited citizens.
 But the projected lines by the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe interests are so nearly within the cer- tainties that the people of this val ley should stand ready to boost" at every opportunity.
 Surveyed from any standpoint, the future of Phoenix is the most prom ising of any city in the west.

coloners house and ate the nails out
of the sidewalk. Whenever it saw the
hardware wagon approaching it would
gallop gayly down the street to meet
it, uttering little squawks Of joy.
But last Thursday whea the hard
ware delivery wagon approached the
coloneps residence the ostrich made d
sad mistake. It had dashed out into
the road as usual and poked it's head
into the wagon while the. delivery
boy was unloading the nails, and it
saw a likely looking tid-bit and swal-
lowed it. It happened to be box of
fifty a. calibre cartridges intended
for Sim Perkins, and the delivery boy
missed them and reached for the rail-
road spike he always kept on the
wagon seat to tap the ostrich on the
head with when it became too friend
ly, but the spike was gone! The de-
livery boy Immediately called for the
colonel and demanded the cartridges
and the big spike, but the colonel was
bothered about something else just
then, for the ostrich had the hic-
coughs. Probably it had over eaten.
The colonel did not care whether
it had over-eaten or not. What he
cared about was that there was box
of AS inside that bird, and a sharp
pointed spike with them, and that ev-
cry hic-cough must be jerking the
sharp point of the spike around among
those cartridges, like the hammer of
a pistol, and that the affectionate
bird was aimed directly at him. Any
minute one of those AS might go off
and kill the colonel, and the colonel
knew it. He was far from happy in
the affection of that ostrich. but the
