SCHWEPPE PARTY ON
 GROSS COUNTRY RUN
Spoken By General A. ]. Sampson In
 Geneva, N. Y.

Phoenix is getting to be very large place or the rest of the world is gradually becoming smaller. Anyhow one isn't safe to go anywhere any more if he wants to evade meeting with Phoenix people. Fortunately for General Sampson however, he isn't afraid of Phoenix people wherever he meets them and on the contrary the farther he is from home the more pleased he is to see tltem.
 It was therefore just as pleasing as it was surprising when about ten days ago he was strOlling down the side walk with Mrs. Sampson in Geneva. N. Y. town about a hundred miles from Buffalo. and heard someone eN- claim: Hello. General Sampson" At the same instant a big automobile who led up along the sidewalk and he recognized R J. Schweppe. Mir. Grey. Nr. Roberts and two other gentlemen. They were enroute from Phoenix to the eastern seaboard, and are doubt less there by this time.
 The general writes that he does not know the date they left the Salt river valley. but they were all in fine con- dition when he saw them and reported fine trip that far, saving they had enjoyed every day of it.

Dr. Dood of New York a Delighted
 Visitor.

Dr Edgar Rood of Westfield, \. Y. who has been making his daughter, Mrs. J. F. Ruffin a hurried visit of two days left last night for the coast and will shortly return home by the way of Seattle. It was the intention of Dr. Rood who is an eminent prac- titioner to attend the meetings of the American Medical association at Los Angeles but on account Of his exacting practice he was unable to leave home at that time
 Though the two days he spent in Phoenix are generally believed by req idents to have been the most dis agreeable of the season, he is de- lighted with the climate and he said yesterday that at no time had he found the heat as oppressive as it was in New York at the time of his departure and as it had been the greater part of the summer. He saw as much of the valley as he could in the short time he had allotted for hi. stay here but he said that this visit was only the first of many A son who is now finishing his legal studies q Phoenix next fall

 In due time the injury was healed but it was soon afterward found that Dr. Ruffin would never again have the full use of that member unless a second operation was performed. It was decided that the arm would have to be broken and reset.
 That was done yesterday morning. the operation being directed by Dr. Baum assisted by Drs. Bell and Dy- sart.

NELSON DISCHARGED
 LACK 0F EVIDENCE
But Court Pointed Out Impropriety of
 Kidding Houses With Bullets.

The evidence against Walter Nel- son, charged with riddling a house oc- cupied by two women, neighbors of his, near Eastlake park, with bullets last Saturday night, was judged by Justice Johnstone not to be sufficient to hold him 10 the grand jury and he was discharged on his preliminary examination yesterday. What the court thought about the matter, how ever, may be gathered from a severe lecture he administered to the de- fendant.
 In fact, all the evidence against him was in the shape of admissions he had made both before and after his arrest and which were afterward de- nied by him.
 Attention had been directed to him in the first place by his manner. He called on William Mann. an acquain- tance. on Sunday morning with rela tion to the shooting. He was very nervous. He said that he feared that a friend of his would get into trouble over the shooting and he was anxious to know what. if anything, the sher- if was doing about it. He said he would wait outside the sheriff's of flee while MT. Mann investigated. His arrest naturally followed and the of ficers state that Nelson admitted that the friend about whom he was so so- licitous was himself.
 The women occupants of the house did not see the assailant but from the start they suspected Nelson, for the reason that they knew he had regard ed them as an eyesore to the com munity .and only the afternoon be- fore had quarreled with them.
 Several witnesses had been sum- moned for the defense They were mostly neighbors who. whatever they might have thought about the guilt or innocence of Nelson. regarded the movement for the Encouragement of the women as a separate and distinct proposition which met their approval There was no occasion for them to testify as the case went off with the conclusion of the testimony for the territory.

THE KAIsER's BOARDED GOLD.

Berlin-The bankers of Germany are anxious about supplying the money necessary in the event of the govern ment having to mobilize the army.
 For this purpose there is sum of S24, ,00O. 900 closed in the Julius tower at Spandau. But the government has for long time past been of the opin- ion that this sum would prove wholly inadequate. and that it will be neces- sary to increase it.
 Recently the director of the Bank of Germany declared that in his opinion the German banks would not be able, in case of war. to supply the neces- sary sums to the army. because as soon as it was known that war was imminent. the depositors would be- siege the banks in crowds and with draw their money. In these circum- 70 stances he suggests that the war

Locked up in old-fashioned war chests in an ancient tower lies more gold than one man with a team of mules could carry away in many trips. Stacked in great piles. the Glittering coins have lain for more than thirty years. No expedition of men thirsty for gold and the things it can buy have ever been organized to carry off this treasure trove, and its owners have made no use of it. As far as any actual use to which they are being put is concerned, the great strong boxes might as well contain so many iron ringers.

Irrigation Department
.ABy c. E. FUNK

| NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
In talking with one of our
prominet business men he said
"there is undoubtedly enough
water here to irrigate with" and
we patted him on the back and
said Ego it-that's the stuff"
If they had all talked like him
we would have had this country
irrigated long ago. His talk
braced us up. We had been
rather skeptical about there be-
ing about enough water here to
irrigate the country, but on sec
ond thought we see there IS
enough to irrigate all we want.
Now let's get at it, if we only
start with one acre. The results
of one acre will astonish you and
next year you will want more.
We gave you our cheapest sys-
tenn of irrigation last week-the
we'll and water wagon. We will
give you another system to irri-
gate with-that is a good well
on the upper side of your land.
Most land slopes here. Or at
the corner of your land. Run a
gas pipe or any kind of pipe
the length of your land with
with plugs as often as you think
necessary, turn well loose in the
fall and winter. Be there with
your hoe to direct the water and
the ground will be soaked by
springtime. The water will run
easy then, not like it was dry
ground and it would sink in too
fast. If you need another pipe
layed across the field running
the same direction as the first
pipe you could add it, and i'll
could be taken up if necessary
to plow. If YOU plowed right it
might not be IN the way. A still
cheaper way would be to use
bitches at least in the winter
time. For a garden if land was
level you could have pipe all
around it. We do not need much
water here. The rainfall is al
most sufficient. Corn will most
always reach the tasseling age
without irrigation-then two or
three applications of water will
make it yield great.
To head off cut worms use the
bottom of an old straw stack or
manure. Horse manure is the
best. The worms will go.
A gasoline wagon might be
used as a water wagon instead of
horses.
Perhaps a small windmill
power on a water wagon would
force water so you could irrigate
7 or 8 row at once. Perhaps it
could be done anyway. Let some
mechanic figure it out and re-
port.
The tendency now is for small
stalks and small ears of corn.
Then tank would not have to
be elevated very high. No mat
ter how you do it so you get the
water on the plant. If you have
any better plan let us know. We
do not know it all and don't want
to, but if we get together we can
figure out way to irrigate this
country cheaply.
The profits would be SIS to
one as we now farm and have no
worry about rain.
We could dam up the creek
and have enough water to.irri-
gate this county very easy. We
have seen Crooked creek run
four feet deep all summer.
Just now we talking irriga-
ton from wells and the best plan
to do it.
