thrummed overhead in the tree-tops,
and both paused to listen. A shower
of flying leaves enveloped them, and
hard on the heel of the wind came
driving drops Of rain. He looked down
on her and on her hair, wind-blown
about her face; and because of her
closeness to him and of fresher and
more poignant realization of what she
meant to him, he trembled so that she
was aware of it in the hand that held
hers. She suddenly leaned against
him, bowling her head until it rested
lightly upon his breast. And so they
stood while another squall, with flying
leaves and scattered drops of rain,
ratified past. With equal suddenness
she lifted her head and looked at him.

His arms went around her and held
her closely. and this time she did not
resist Her head was bowed. and he
could not see her face, yet he had a
premonition that she was crying. He
had learned the virtue OF silence, and
he waited her will in the matter.
Things had come to such pass that
she was bound to tell him something
now. OF that he was confident.

she faltered, "but | am afraid. am

affirmation.

She rested now, frankly and fairly,
in the shelter of his arms, and both
were oblivious to the gale that rushed
past them in quicker and stronger
blasts. The big downpour of rain had
not yet come, but the mist-like squalls
were more frequent Daylight was
openly perpleXed, and he was still per-
picked when he began tc speak.

It makes no difference about the weather, whether it is hot or cold, fair or stormy, the crowd fills the Coliseum every night just the same. IL wants entertainment and knows where to go to get it. Last night looked threatening but the house was full just the same and the venture some were rewarded by the ab
 stinence of the clouds and the joy ousness of a good program. Melville and O'Neil were well received with their singing and talking comedy work. Miss Teddy Martin was the main attraction of course for the chappies and a host of others who have seen her in drama and learned to like her and who are now pleased to see her doing so well in vaude- vile The DammerOck Brothers. the comedy acrObats, are humdingers.

Tonight the Empress will resume as a picture house showing some particularly good films containing plenty of variety. As a special fea- ture Manager Reeves has engaged Miss Sylvia Leigh to sing at each entertainment Miss Leigh was here in January and sang for four nights at The Empress, being then on the way to Flagstaff to accept an en- gagement she has just closed. Miss Leigh has a high soprano or lyric voice and sings only music of high order. opera selections ballads, etc, but no rag time. The Flagstaff Sun says: she has an exceptionally sweet voice. perfectly trained, a pleasing personality and as she loves to sing the merit of an artist IS manifest. Her selections serve to ele- vate those who hear her sing.

WORK ON THE
 ARIZONA CANAL
It's Widening Is Practical ly Finished as Far as the New Black Canyon Road; New Channel Across Cave Creek Wash

Few people are aware of the prog ress that has been made in the widen ing of ,ha Arizona canal, an important feature of the Salt River project that has been under way for the last two or three ears with some interruptions for lack of money or other reasons They wlll be gratified to earn that the work ras been C .mple e,i fire h the head down to the Arizona Fail. and d large part of it has been finished be. low the fails. The dredger which was was put into commission by the gov ernment, dli it's work above the falls and now that the work is finished anG it has served well it's day, it has been dismantlcG, the machinery brought to town and some of it sold. The dredger originally was brought here by the Arizona canal company and has as sisted in making both the old privately owned ditch and the splendid new wa terwaY. The new canal varies in width from AZ to 72 feet on the bot tom and $ much wider at the top of water line. In some places it is a ver- itabe river.
 Below the falls the canal is also
 
 the new Black Canyon road. and to it's full depth except in two or three pla- ces where it will be necessary to blast more rock out of the bottom when there is suitable opportunity for turn inv the water out of the canal. The boulevard along the banks however has not been constructed further west than couple of miles east of the Cave Creek rDad
 The most of the work to be done is now on the lower end of the canal. below tn, new Black Canyon road which is q mile west of Central aY- enue Much has been accomplished even below that point. The big ex- cavator has covered the next 1900 feet and is now blowing off through new ground to the northwest, cutting a new channel for the canal for a dis tance Of two and a half miles. At one place it will be as much as 1900 feet nOrth of the present canal. The purpose of this new channel is to make it as straight as possible but chiefly to cross the Cave Creek wash in To- calitv where the soil is of better qual- ity and the topogra phy of the country more suitable for the making of per manent ba anks. Where the canal runs now ther4 are numerous little gullieS and the soil is composed largely of sand. Ii is here that Cave Creek an nually flows over the banks and through them, washing innumerable holes in them and costing a great deal for repairs, but worse than the cost, keeping the farmers sometimes for several days without water, before the repairs can be made. It is not ex- pected that the new canal will turn the Cave Creek flood to any great eX- tent but il is hoped to secure a ditch that will not be materially hurt by overflow, both by reason of being run through more solid ground and by bet ter construction of the banks,
 If sufficient money for construction is provided to keep the work going. it will not De very long until the Arizona will be d finished ditch, big enough to supply ;he north side system at all times ana it is hoped so well con structed that there will be but small expense for repairs under any decent Iy normal conditions.

 Steel industry Offends.
 In every study of standards of labor the fact cbtruies itself that certain in- dustries perennially strive to prevent the establishment of all standards whatsoever, whether by law or by the organization of the workers.
 Such an industry is steel manufac- ture which has broken the unions, es tablished the 12-hOur day and the ' day week, and, always and every where, fought the establishment of state workmens compensation laws; such, also, is canning and preserving an industry which has little trouble with umons because the employees are chiefly women and girls. This in dustry claims exemption from all re- strctions upon child labor and work ing hours. Both these industries al lege as the reason for their opposition to all standards, the exceptional na- ture of the material with which they deal-From Florence Kelley in the Twentieth Century Magazine.

Are perishable fruits and vegetables more important than perishable wo- men and children.
 This question resounded from one end of California to the other during the session of the legislature in 1911
 It was asked by a young working woman tt a hearing before a legisla tive committee at Sacramento taken up by other women engaged in the packing and fruit preserving indus tries, echoed by the labor unions, and mentO

Placed Human Life Second.

In the end, however. the legislature showed that it held perishable fruits and vegetables in higher esteem than prishabie women and girls, by exempt ing the canning industries from the provisions of the S-hOur law. In the child labor law these industries had already been exempted.
 It is therefore, at present legal for women and children to be employed unlimited hours in these industries in California-the children at any age provided that they attend school in the years covered by the compulsory school attendance laws.
 California thus joined temporarily the list of states in which there is a privileged industry.
