PROPOSED BUILDING
 OF ASSOCIATION HOME
4 Proposition to Be Settled by the Water User. at the Coming
 Election,

Besides the selection of officers for the coming year. the members of the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- citation will be asked at the coming election 10 pass on the question of an assessment for the construction of an office building for the joint use of the association and the reclamation service. The board of governors has issued a circular letter which was mailed yes terday to each member, giving its req sons for favOrinG the erection of such q building. The circular is herewith reproduced and in addition The Repub- lican is requested to call attention to one advantage that was not mentioned in the preparation of the circular
 That advantage is that the plans contemplated will include a spacious assembly room that will not only be used for association meetings. but that will be at the disposal of the farm CTS at all times when not in use by the association. for holding any proper meeting in which they may be con ccrncd. Reference is made to such as semblagcs as the Dairymen's assOcia- tion. Melon Growers association. Can tCiOupc Growers association. Bee Keepers association. or farmers insti- tutcs or in fact any legitimate confer cnce in which farmers may be inter csted At present there is no hall or assembly room properly equipped for some or the organizations in mind and for others a proper place can be had only by paying a big rental for every meeting.
 The circular follows:
 Phoenix. Ariz.. March 25. 1910. Tu the Shareholders of the Salt River
 Valley Water Users Association:
 By direction of the board of govern DTS. the following is submitted for your information and guidance at the com ing election:
 The proposition to purchase site and erect an office building for the joint use of the association and the recla ation service was approved unanimously by the board of govern- ors and by a large majority of the council of the association for the fol- lowing reasons:
 There is now being paid in rent by the two organizations s2.000 year, all of which is charged up to the pro- jcct. and the portion paid by the recla- nation service must be ultimately re- paid by the water users. If the build ing is not provided by the association. the officers Of the reclamation service say they will be obliged 10 secure ade- quate quarters. where fire protection will be assured and, of course, at an increased rent Mir. Hill states that If destroyed if would cost at least 70, 900 to replace valuable papers and records, which are in frequent use and must be accessible at any time. while others could not he replaced at any cost.

RAIN IS FALLING
 IN COP|OUs SHOWERS
Salt River Valley Has Already Been
 Greatly Refreshed.

The cloudy and windy weather of the past few days resulted in a fine rain that began yesterday afternoon and was continuing al al late hour last night. with only occasional intcl . missions. The temperature Was con siderably cooler than for a number of days and grew quite chilly during the night. It was reported last evening that six inches of snow had fallen at Flagstaff and though little has been heard from outside points. the rain seems to be of sort that k usually general in it's character.
 Already the wetting given the val ley is estimated as worth thousands of dollars to growing crops. and it will do some good to the nearby ranges If it will only continue for two or three days and cover the who.c range and watershed country, it will help tho prospects for all interests during the coming summer most amazingly.
 The past winter has been an unu- suany dry one. this being the first rain since late in November or earlN in December. Had il not been for the water stored in the reservoir the farmers of the valley would certainly have been feeling blue by this time.

the two organizations and the need for frequent interchange and confer cnce. it is highly essential that the of fices should be together. It has been estimated that the expense of an addi- tional clerk would have to be met if the association and reclamation service were in seperate buildings.
 The present quarters are not con venicntly arranged for the transaction of business. The proposed building would be especially arranged with a view to present and future needs. Just as much office room will be needed permanently. for, as the work in one line is completed by the recla nation service. it will be taken up and con- tinucd by the association. with the same requirements as regards floor space.
 The site. building and furniture are estimated to cost not to exceed s40.- 000 The selection of site. design of building and contractor to construct it are to be determined by the board of governors.
 You are urged to express your opin- ion on this proposition at the polls on April :. The board of governors also urges fuD -'ote for elective officers so that it may be known whether the administration of the association is approved by the shareholders.
 The polls will be open on Tuesday. April ,, from s to o'clock. Phoenix city time, at the polling places in each of the ten council districts designated by the board of governors and adver- tiscd in the Democrat, Phoenix. The Free Press, Mesa. and the News, Tempe. Respectfully.

WHY GRANT WON'T SIGN.
Can't Forgive Manager Griffith for
Verbal Roasting.

It's an old saying that when you throw
a stone you never know who you are go
ing to hit, and that applies to Manage
Griffith of the Cincinnati club. Grimth,
in his capacity as coacher for the Reds.
threw some verbal bombs at one OF tine
Phillies While the Reds manager prob
ably forgot what he said even before he
left the field the man the remarks hit
hasn't forgiven him TO this day.
The player in question Is Eddie Grant.
During the good old summer time"
Griffith is said to have aroused Grants
ire and Eddie went back at him, with the
result that in every game between Gin
cinnati and the Phillies-if Grit was eligi-
BILE to appear on the field-the Reds man
ager and Eddie had some very warm
arguments.
Grants refusal to forgive and forget is
reported to be the reason for his refusal
TO sign a contract with Cincinnati even
at an advance OF 500 in salary over
what he received from the Phillies.
II Eddie remains ''hold-out' next
spring Griffith will have only himself to
blame but that Is not likely to make
the leader of the Reds change his tao
tics when he gets warmed Up in the
coachers box next season.

Keefe, commissioner general of immigra-
ton, who came here from Washington to
Investigate the immigration and labor
problem in the Hawaiian Islands. sailed
for San Francisco today. In an inter-
view before his departure the commits
sioner criticised the importation of the
Filipinos by the sugar planters and de-
clared that they were not d peaceable
class of laborers for the island.
Mr.. Keefe praised the Russian immi-
grants brought from Siberia and consid-
cred them more desirable than the Fill
pinos, but said that the immigration Of
Americans from the mainland would best
solve both the labor problem and the
Americanization of the island. The COM

opinion of the commissioner, was de-
pendent upon higher wages than are now
being paid in the island.

PLOT TO RUIN D'AULBy,
DEFENSE WOULD PROVE
Counsel Declares He Has Been
Shadowed-Attempt to
Rob Office.

TOURS, France. December 24.-The
series Of sensations that has enlivened
the trial OF Count and Countess
d'Aulby de Gatigny reached q climax
today. when the Duchess Of Choiseul-
Paine of Boston, abandoned her accusa-
tons that d Aulby and his wife had con-
spired to swindle her out of 100000 in
tho sale of spurious paintings.
As the duchess lawyer walked out of
the courtroom in silence the crowd of
spectators stood asape, wondering what
would be the next move in the strange
case.
NJ. Bernard, for the defense, asked the
public prosecutor to stop the proceedings.
This was refused and the trial continued.
The evidence was concluded during the
day, whereupon an adjournment was
taken until January 2, when the argu-
ments will De made and the finding OF
the court probably announced.
The withdrawal OF the duchess theo-
retically weakens. if it does not destroy,
the foundation for the prosecution.
1t is understood that she was actuated
by the conclusion of q private agreement
concerning the disposition of the letters
to have been written by Mrs. Paine. and
by the belief that the case was breaking
down, as a result. largely. of the incident
OF yesterday. when Carrier Belleuse. the
art expert, called by the prosecution. was
forced to admit under examination that
he was under indictment for maintaining
a gambling establishment in Paris.
In today's evidence the defense sought
to prove the existence. Of a plot to ruin
d Aulby.
His London lawyer. Behrend. who hau
possession of the duchess alleged letters,
testified that he had been constantly
Swallowed. and that an attempt had been
made to break into and rob his Office He
added that he had seen q letter written
by Paine, in which the American con-
firmed the picture contract with d. Aulby.
AS the court adjourned there were some
cries Of ''LOng live d'Aulby."
