CHICAGO. September 16-Belief that
the Morocco dispute will meet with an
early settlement had bearish effect to-
day in wheat. Furthermore. reports
from Germany and France regarding
crops were favorable and the Russian
outlook was better than expected. Large
Canadian offerings were predicted at
Liverpool. and it was noticed in this con-
nection that the bulls here were inclined

bears the euphOnious name of ella

other things he has as fine looking a
five-acre patch of Egyptian cotton as
anybody would care to see. He

knows of no reason why he should

incidentally Mr.. Mccarthy is rather
proud of his 100 acres of grain this
year which is now in head notwith-
standing the fact that he had to cut
it once to keep it back where it be-
longed and it is now higher than il
ought to be. And this grain to date
has only had a single irrigation. The
season has of course been exception
al as to water supply and early warm
weather. The Pinal farmers he SAYS

weather and partly To the fact that

well as the reclamation officials, will
each and all of them know just how
much water is being used and who
uses it, and all will use it to the best
advantage. Active work on this later

two miles west of the Crosscut head

In loosening the formation from fiji

PLENTY OF WATER
IN THE TYLER WELL
Successful Demonstration of the
Desert Underflow

j. K Mccarthy of Florence, owner
of a well drilling plant which is just
now engaged in driving a well for Guy
| Tyler and his associates sixteen miles
southeast of Mesa City and six miles
southwest of Higley station for the
development of irrigation water. came
to Phoenix last night and reports that
the job is nearly finished and the re-
suits are satisfactory thus far. The
drill will probably reach the depth
of 200 feet today, that being the pro-
posed depth. Mr.. Mccarthy came
down to secure perforater and other
tools necessary for perfOrating the
casing, which is sixteen inches in
diameter. He says water was en-
countered at the depth of so feet and
it is likely that when the casing is
perforated the water will rise con-
siderably above that point. 1t has
risen little without the perfora-
ton.
AS soon as this well is finished
Mr.. Tyler expects to have an eight
inch well drilled to the depth Of per-
haps $50 feet, for domestic purposes
near the site of the ranch house
the building of which will be under
taken at once. Mr.. Tyler and those
operating with him are most opti-
mistic i'm respect of their plans as
they have been from the first and
it is a fortunate thing for settlers
in that region that they came into
the country, for they see it's possi-
bilities, have the money to develop
them and are going at it with energy
and faith that is deserving of sue
cess
They have so much faith in their
plans that early last spring a goodly
number of citrus trees were planted
as well as some pepper and other
shade trees. These have had ONLY
the natural rainfall thus far but have
prospered As the warmer and dryer
weather is fast approaching they are
anxious to get their pumping Plant
in that the trees may be assured OF
summer water.
Mr. Tyler does not intend TO stop
with citrus orchard however. He
thinks there are many crops that viii

southeast of Mesa. when the water
for them is supplied and one of them
is Egyptian cotton. He proposes TO
plant an experimental patch of ii just
as soon as his pump is in.
And speaking of Egyptian cotton

become a big cotton planter also. He

ACTIVITIES Of HIGH
SCHOOL SCIENCE CLUB
Members Discuss Chemistry anc
Medicine and Plan For Annual
Banquet

One member was dropped from the
ron. The Relation of Chemistry to
Medicine" was discussed and plans
for the annual coed" banquet were
formulated at the regular weekly
meeting OF the Phoenix high school
science club yesterday afternoon
The young man who lost his MEM
bership in the club had not been
making the grades in his regular
school work required by the consti-
tuition of the club. When the or
ganiZation was formed it was con-
templated that its standard should be
made a high one. SO when one mem
Der began 10 drop behind in his
studies his case was brought to the
attention of his fellows. who regret
fully decided to drop him. Thus the
science club becomes useful in en-
couraging its members to do better
school work.

what was probably the most inter-
esting paper ever prepared for any
of the clubs meetings. He went
into the chemical side of medicine
with great thoroughness. His paper

great deal of time TO the study Of

pairing his paper and has secured in
formation from scientists in all parts
of America and Europe.
Two weeks from last night the
annual banquet of the club will be
held. Each member is supposed to

to call her. That they will have a
jolly time is certain. II was in
tended to have the banquet later in
the term but yesterday it was de-
cided that in order to avoid con-

work that always comes when the
end of school is near. it would be
better to set the date forward.

STATIONARY ENGINEERS
HAVE EP|CUREAN FEAST
PLEASANT BANQUET HELD AT
FORD HOTEL LAST NIGHT.
Numerous Courses and Subjects Dis
cussed With Appreciation and
!..te-est.

The dining room of the Ford hotel
was the scene of pleasant banquet
last evening when eleven members of
the Arizona Subordinate Association
No. / of the National Association of
Stationary Engineers met to participate
in an enjoyable and delectable spread.
The association has no regular time
for coming together, but whenever the
spirit moves the members of the or
ganization the word goes out TO prepare
for a session around the board, and
only those are absent who are kept
away by stern impossibility of attend
ance.
Eleven members, all good fellows,
and all first class engineers, discussed
the courses as they were brought in
from the sacred apartments dedicated
to the mysteries of food preparation,
and the despatch with which ore course
was done away with was only equalled
by the intense longing with which the
next was awaited. Engineering talk
was rife during the evening. and many
matters of interest to the members of
the ASSOCIATION were discussed, al
though no subjects had been assigned
iOr lnulNluudl members 10 speak upon.
Under the direction and guide of a
POSTMASTER who knew exactly when to
change the subject or what to say
when it came To steering the CONVERSE
tional tendencies of the engineers. the
hour rolled smoothly away. and when
they got up from the table a smile Of
content wreathed every face.
After the banquet, which ended
about $50 o'clock the men adjourned to
Lamson hall where three candidates
were initiated into the secrets, purposes
and aims the organization. and this
session proved to be a continuation of
the first in merrymaking and good
fellowship.
The POSTMASTER OF the evening was
James ]. McClintock of the Pacific Gas
& Electric company, ana he acquitted
himself with the grace Of a senatorial
after dinner speaker. Those present
were o. S Wiley. Roy Thienpone Ross
