OFFICIAL CANVASS
 OF CONTRACT VOTE
Board of Governors Completes Pur- chase of Building Lot For
 Water Offices.

The board of governors of the Wa ter Users association met yesterday and canvassed the vote cast at last Thursdays election, and finding that more than two-t thirds endorsed the approval of the contract between the association and the government, un- der which the Crosscut canal and power plants are to be built, in structed the president and secretary to sign the contract. The board then levied an assessment of S2.25 per acre. in accordance with the plan for the first years payment. That with the Is cent assessment levied for in cidental expenses and the cOnstruc- ton of water building, makes to- tai assessment this year of $40 per acre to each shareholder, onehalf of which is due and payable the coming fall and the rest in the spring.
 Engineer Hill was present and dis cussed the plans for the canal and power houses. He said he would put his force at work immediately in the preparation of the plans and as soon as they are completed the association officers were instructed to proceed to advertise for bids for the machinery. This instruction was given in ad- vance for the reason that there might not be a majority of the board pres ent when the plans are ready and it is advisable that there may be no delay It takes so long to fill orders for special machinery that it is de- sirable to place them as quickly as possible, to insure the machinery be- ing on the ground when it is wanted.
 The first power machinery to be placed will be the power house on the south canal and the new machin- cry for the power house at the Ari zona Falls. The work of eXcavating the crosscut will begin just as soon as cooler weather arrives.
 The board also completed the pur- chase of the building lot of the Y M. C. A. by authorizing the payment today of $4500, the first half of the purchase price of the lot, the re- mainder to be paid November 1st. No architect has yet been selected to plan the building but that matter will probably be taken up at an early day.
 Messrs Joseph Cope and F. w. Wilbur, members of the board of governors returned from California to be present at the meeting yesterday and insure quorum that there might be no delay in these projects.
 The canvass of the returns from the election showed that the issue had carried by about 15h to 1, or a majority so large it vas almost unanimous. The official figures are ac foIlaxvc.

they were not to be touched. He started a country store-which diff fers from a department store mainly in size; and with the aid of his wife sold stockings, wooden skeins, bandan mas, and occasionally neckties; and as the most brilliant and elemental colors sold best, he had touch-color lessons of the most kindergarten form. Through constant practice un- der his faithful wife's guidance he learned that certain sensations (which he could not name) when handling goods meant red, green, yellow, blue, as the color might be-"

THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT ARIZONA EVER HAD
Frank R. Stewart Heard Much About
 Statehood in the East.

Frank R. Stewart returned last night from a business trip of more than three weeks in the east The greater part of that time was spent at St. Louis. He said that the statehood bill was the best advertisement that Arizona had ever had and had probably set more people talking about the territory than all previous advertisements.
 MT Stewart was beset with inquiries about the country and especially about the valley. Much of his business was with brokers and bankers and all Of them wanted to know about Phoenix, particularly about the price of land in this vicinity. When he told them they were appalled, but their surprise was modified when he told them what could be raised on this high priced land; that there were from seven to nine cuttings of alfalfa in a season; that the oranges of the valley brought twice as much in the New York mar kets as the best California oranges; that dates, figs and all other sub-trop- ical fruits grew here and that he had seen four affidavits from farmers who had cleared from their land profits ranging from $79 to SOS an acre in year.
 In the opinion of MT. Stewart the of the territory will be dou- bled within the next two years as of statehood. He is sure that it will be more than doubled if the new state begins with a sane and busi- ness-like constitution.
 Mir Stewart said he could not con eeive- why any one wanted to leave Phoenix at this time of the year and swelter in the east, especially in St. Louis. He never before suffered so from the heat as he did on this trip. He found a sense of great physical re- lief as soon as he got into Arizona.

FIRST SIGHT AT
 AGE OF FORTY

In Harper's for August Dr. Edward A Ayers tells remarkable case of man who, blind until the age of forty, had been ;.ble, through some remarkable instinct, to live q normal life, could distinguish colors and had the homing instinct
 This man was well developed, healthy, quick-witted, shrewd, and, we may say, observant though unedu- cated. He acquired a moderate com petence as a farm laborer; could cut wood, mall rails, split shingles, and pick cotton, often eighty-five pounds a day. He wove baskets, gathered rush from the Louisiana swamps, and meshed new bottoms in chairs which had been worn through by laZier fellows. He learned to pick, shuck and assort corn and pull fod- der He felled trees and split two hundred rails a day. He built rail fences after the worm" was laid his eyeless senses could not line a surveyors plot without running a string from one cornerstone to an other. Farmer John did what many a man with five senses and little sense had failed to do-he earned and bought a forty-acre farm, clear ing half which he cultivated with the hearty aid of his wife and five children. What family would not work under the influence of such noble industryi He oculd not use the plough or hoe, for the ploughman must look ahead and the man with the hoe must know pussly" from cabbage He Specialized with his neighbors, picking their cotton while they ploughed and hood his fields.

LINGERIE HAT.

The woman with the white lingerie hat always is an object of envy-she looks so cool and comfortable. Many women do not consider their hat box properly filled unless it contains at least one of these pretty summer hats. A new way of trimming them is to run a piece of wide beading around the crown and through this run a wide ribbon. which is tied at the back or the side in a pretty bow. Some times the ends of the ribbon hang in two little streamers about five or six inches long.

AN ENGINEERING TEST.

The civil engineer who has excit-
ed more or less fippant comment by
stating that the roosting of birds on
a bridge is a good test of the secur-
ity Of the structure ventures TO re-
peat his proposition, and he quotes
such distinguished naturalists az
Darwin and Audubon in support of
his contention. Elephants cannot
be driven over a weak viaduct, bur-
ros refuse to take a dangerous trail
and rats are the first to desert a
leaking ship. "Call it all an absurd
superstition If you WILL" says the
engineer, 'Fthe fact remains that
some things have their influence on
poor, frail humanity that cannot be
supported by logarithmic computa-
tion." Boston Herald.

Vardaman vs.. Noel as Viewed by
q Private.
July IS, 1910.

EDITOR WEEKLY:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to express my sent-
ments in regard to Elk. Gov. }. X.
Vardaman and our now Gov. Noel.
| have just returned from our
Encampment at Chicamauga and
this being the 3rd encampment that
have participated in during our
now Governor administration, L
will now let you know just how
much / know and have heard OF
him. | saw Governor Noel one
time at Columbus, once at Chlca-
manga and have yet never heard his
voice. | would not know him should
| meet him face to face on the
streets of our own capitol city. |
made some inquiry among our boys
as to whether they had heard any
thing direct from him and | found
that not but a few of our boys had
even seen him, muchless heard his
voice.
Now three years ago at Columbus
encampment (which was my tirs)
| saw Gov. Nardaman many times.
Not only saw him but heard sew
eral speeches from him, in which
he spoke mainly to us privates. He
spoke words of good cheer to us and
gave us much good advice and
pointed out to us that privates is
what makes the army and from
privates comes the best and greatest
officers. OF course we appreciated
all this and it made us privates feel
that in our Governor we had
friend and that he cared for our
welfare. | had heard my older
brother say so much about Gov.
Vardaman and how he spoke to
them and rode through their streets
while in camp, and how he was i'm
pressed with the governor; that |
was. very anxious to see Gov. Var
daman and when | did see him
found that one half of his worth had
never been told. AS to the two
governors (Vardaman and Noel |
don't think there is any COMPARE
son what ever.
Now Noel may be great man
and chief executive but in the lam
guage of the old hay-seed farmer
whose college son had just explained
to him how a certain star was sew
eral million miles from this earth,
and several thousand times larger
and several thousand times brighter
than the sun. We'll said the old |
man after his son had finished. that |
may all be SO, but it has darned
poor way Of showing it."
So in conclusion please let me
say to my comrades of Co. B. that |
for three years We have served to-
gether and l feel that we are all of
the same family. | don't believe
that | have an enemy in our Co.
All of our camps (four) in num-
Der. we have enjoyed and no strife
nor discord among us. So may we
all be spared to meet again. So
will say good bye to you all. | go
today to make my future home in
Tenn. And to you Mr..
Editor / wish to say that my best
wishes are with you, and as soon as
l become settled / will remit the
price for whittier l goeth the
shall come also. So adieu
to all.
