arose and expressed their opposition
to these men on that score. alone.
Tnen these two former saloon advo-
Gates got up and stated that they are
proud OF Artesia, would not let the
saloons come back and would work to
keep the twn dry. That's what No
license does for Artesia-
Mr.. Sipple said he believed that
not 25 votes could be found in Artes-
ia in favor of the saloons.
Mr.. Sipple was questioned as to the
effect of No-license and the loss of
the revenue from the saloons on the
schools of Artesia. He stated that the
school fund had a surplus of $4,000
and that school was held for nine
months, the full term. and that they
had doubled the number of school
building last year and had not in
creased the taxes.
Then came the talk of c. J. Hail.
Mr.. Hall was ripe for the occasion.
and he proceeded to fay Judge Nc

Mr.. Mcclure had absolutely no argu-
ment to offer, he was Obliged to re-
sort to "pettifogging." and to calling
him names, but he did not mind a lit
tie thing like that.
Mr.. Mcclure had turned ais batter
les on the preachers because ne had
no argument in favor of the saloons.
Mr.. Mcclure said the No-license
people are excited. OF course. they
are. and he would like to have Mr..

Mr.. Ray started out by saying that
he felt like a blooded horse, who
wanted to go, and that ne wanted to
get in this race. From what he had
heard up here, he judged the other
fellows were mad and were pouring
in the LASH. The No-license people
seemed to be merely smiling and go

Speaking of what No-hcense had
done for Artesia, he gave some inter

No-icense had been a great thing

clock tonight destroyed the Casey
building at the corner of Missouri
and st. vrain, occupied by the Craig

Payne's at $4,000. A high wind made
the fire dangerous. Six firemen were

 Qn answer to this question. I beg to refer you to sections and of the articles of incorporation of the Salt River Valley Water Users association. which are as follows:
 Sec. 6. The amount of water so to be delivered to such owner shall be that proportionate part of all stored and developed water the storage or de velopment of which is or may be af- fected by this association, or by means of works under it's control. manage ment or direction. or which may be- come available for distribution by this association from irrigation works built

 con account of the way in which pumped water will be supplied to the lands under the Salt River project, it is rather difficult tO state how much additional land will be served by pumping. as there will probably be no land served exclusively with under ground water The total amount of land which it is now contemplated will be irrigated both from the stored water and the natural flow and from underground sources. will be about 230.

 13 What proportion If pumped
 water would the government require the water users under the Tempe ca ! nal to use for the irrigation of their ! lands?
 (No greater proportion than in any
 other part of the project, where pump
 water forms part of the supply. and in no case would a sufficient amount
 of pump water be added to the supply from the river and reservoir to make the mixture injurious for irrigation purposes If is intended that regular analyses will be made of the pump
 water and water supply from the res ervoir and the river and the mixture. so that at no time may the amount of

NEW HOTEL ADAMS
 4 SETTLED MATTER
There Is Yet Lacking, However, a Few Thousand Dollars on the Stock
 Subscription.

The stockholders of the temporary corporation of the New Hotel Adams held a meeting at the Valley bank yes terday afternoon and received the re- port of the committees appointed about week previously to secure further subscriptions to the stock of the com pany. The report was somewhat disap- pointing in that there was lacking about $10.000 of the amount they had tried to raise. It is believed. however that this subscription may yet be seq cured by diligent efforts The men who have co-operated. however, to make the movement d success were as optimistic as ever and it was decided to proceed with the building plans as fast as possible. If sufficient money IS not secured to erect such building as is desired in every particular it is believed the funds will warrant the construction of a hotel that will be a credit and an ornament to the city. and it is sincerely hoped that enough money will be forthcoming by the time the plans are drawn to insure an up today fire proof hotel
 It was estimated that it will take about two months to secure the plans. inspect and approve them and adver- tise for bids in accordance with them and an effort will be made in the meantime to dispose of the amount of stock originally planned. It IS under stood that Mir. Adams will go to Los Angeles at an early day to interview architects and find out just what can be done in the matter of plans.

 (This is answered by reference to section 2 of the contract between the United States and the Salt River Val ley Water Users Association. which reads as follows

Grand Lodge Reunion. Phoenix, AriZ., 1925

The move, it was said. made a big hit. and was having considerable ef- feet in putting Arizona on the tongues of EkdOm. These Phoenix men real iZe that if one wants to get an Elk convention he has to speak for it in good time. for all the big cities are getting in line. Phoenix would be embarrassed to have a convention of that sort this year. but 1925 is all right A lot can happen by that time Phoenix will be big enough then it is believed. to entertain anybody and everybody who wants to come this way, and if it isn't, there is no harm done. for there will be time enough to back up. And it is a lot better for the Phoenix crowd to go after samething, whether they get it or not.
 A Detroit paper arrived yesterday giving an account of the arrival of scores of special trains and big dele gations Among them was the Cali fornia special run by Los Angeles 99. which was said to have suffered the burning of part of one car at Wins low, Ariz., delaying the train some what, but it made up for the loss of time by a seventy-two- mile-an- hour squirt across a lot of Kansas and beat the schedule into Detroit.
 What was said about the Phoenix bunch is reproduced below The Re publican will sustain the regulations of the Phoenix delegation for truth and Veracity as long as it stays east, as a matter of town pride, but it is hoped that the boys don't stay away too long. There is a limit to what one is called upon to do for his friends and his friends ought not to force it. Speaking of the Phoenix crowd, the Detroit Free Press said:
 About II o'clock there was a howl from the west entrance, the first thing that had disturbed the Sabbath calm of the place. That howl was an echo from the land of the Gila monster and the sage brush-Arizona It was a hot bunch that rolled in. as hot as the climate where the aggregation lives They were all under convoy of A. F. Cater, general agent at Phoe- nix of the Southern Pacific. Maricopa & Phoenix and Phoenix &, Eastern railroads. With them were Edmund J. Carmody. representing the Valley Bank of Phoenix: l.. s. Green, Bud McElroy, eX-member of the Arizona rangers; M. l.. Dunbar of the after noon Democrat and the United Press. and for the trip. general publicity agent of the outfit, and last but not least, Jose Cassou, who owns a few mines and has been feeding the crowd on ostrich eggs all the way up from the south.
 We started with an alligator that is to say, a Gila monster con- fided Cater, regretfully He was to be our mascot. but on the way he broke loose. and Bud" was obliged to shoot him through the heart Poor old Carmen! Yep. that was his name. Carmen, l don't know how we will ever face the lodge without him, or his children either But there was no other way out. for you know those Gila monsters are poisonous. One day down in Phoenix a man leaned up against a cage that held a cousin of Carmen; the reptile breathed on him and in half an hour he was dead, poisoned by the creatures breath You may say anything nice you wish about Carmen. He was all right"

ROSE BUDS FOR eAsY's BONNET

A bunch of tiny rose buds placed on the side of baby's little fluffy bonnet is one of its beautiful features. They snuggle into the filmy lace and the finely shirred batiste with an, effect which the milliner calls artistic, but which some of us would term real babified" These little shirred bonnets with the Duffed out crowns and sheer ruching over the face are as pretty as can be devised and an evidence that thought is being expended on millin- cry for the little folks.
