WATER USERS ID CONFER
 WITH DIRECTOR NEWELL
Special Meeting Called for 10 O'clock
 This Morning for Talkfest.

At a special meeting, called for 10 o'clock this morning by President John P Orme of the Salt River Val ley Water Users association, the board of governors of that institution will have an opportunity of confer ring with F. H. Newell, director of the United States reclamation ser vice.
 While no specific questions are slated for discussion, there will no doubt be a lot to be talked about at the meeting. MT. Orme yesterday was unable to say just what trend the discussion might take. He thought it would be generally rela- tive to the subject of discerning the line that divides maintenance and operation from improvement. This subject is of very vital interest to farmers about here, as Secretary Fisher has ruled that no money ob tained from the water users by the reclamation service may be devoted to extending the project or improve ment of that part of it already con structed.
 This afternoon there will be more conferences of the visiting engineers with their chief and the members of the Salt River valley force.

SIGNAL FOR THE REVOLUTION.

On October ia memorable day for all
DR.. Sun Yat-sen wrote short cable mes
sage in cabalistic figures OF cipher, and
this was dispatched with all expediency.
Twenty-four hours later the world read of
an outbreak Of a new revolution at Wu-
Chang. capital Of the Hu-Peh Province.
Little DR.. sun Yat-sen that night was
speeding TO New York on the Overland
Limited At Salt Lake he picked UP a
newspaper with the first cable news from
China concerning the outbreak. One Of the
passengers smiled a. he read the story,
and. meeting Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the OBJ
servation car, he remarked:
killing more people in your country. I
see. doctor. | suppose. though, they're get
ting used to that sort Of thing over there"
They're killing something moro, than
people this time" replied the physician.
After this China will not be accustomed TO
the butchcry OF its people"
In Chicago DR.. Sun disappeared. They
looked for him in vain in New York VIXEN
the train on which he was to have arrived
pulled into the station. Not for two
months was an associate Of his in san
Francisco able TO tell with certainty where
the leader was. He mad turned on ths
light. quietly stepped aside and awaited
results. III the mean time the Chung Ewa
Kok Min in the California city became
active again over 100000 in paper notes
Of the Chung Hwa republic were printed
and sold to Chinese at half their face
value. redeemable at the time OF the re-
public's establishment. Chinese flags OF the
new republic appeared within four days
after October ;. They were visible from
every building top In the quarter.
A financial committee from the Chez
Kung Tong and the Yourg China party
including Tong King Chong, gambler and
editor of the Chinese Free Press CTd
TunE Vat Po'O; Gee Cng, president OF the

named to handle the money. Lee See Nam,
better known as Lee Gnone Hap, Chinese
actor OF renown and proprietor Of Chinese
shoe store in Washington. was named
treasurer Of the republic and his name ap-
peared on the Chinese republic notes as
such. Within three weeks more than
S2OOO 900 had been raised on these.
Then the Bow Wong Wol again boobed
up. Leaders in this antagonisic tong be-
gan circulating stories that the financial
men OF the Hok Min bureau were grafters
and gamblers. None of the money Collect
ed they said. would be sent TO China.
Among the inhabitants OF the quarter-the
richest Chinese district I'm the world out
side of the Chinese Empire-consternauon
rcigned Their confusion was accentuaSed
by the refusal Of the kCk Min bureau 10
give out figures Of the money collected or
an accounting i'm any way. The tension
became great. The revoluuonists OF San
Francisco adopted flag Of A red field, Wisb

the twelve periods Of the Chinese day. The
flag. they pointed out, meant the light OF
