Can Somebody Tell How to Divide Forty Jobs Among Three Hundred Demo cratS?

IT any benightod citizen has now. eyer has had. or is ever likely t" have any doubts about the patriot ism or the democratic contingent in this soou-to- b,-statc of Arizona. let him take glance at the roster or the faithful ready to risk their lives and their liberties at the public pie counter. and any such doubts Will soon vanish into thin air.
 For it is spoken in Cath that an even 300 democrats are ready and willing Go sacrifice themselves on the .aItar of public duty. That is Co say,
 these same 300 of the untcrrified are after jobs.
 That looks as though Arizona is
 not deficient in men Of the kind "I which heroes are made. II is d glad -l ioyful-thought that 300 brave men are willing to accept office that these .atriats will serve their
 state even unto the death. or as long as the money holds out-which Is much the same thing-rather than permit a single office to so unoccu- pied. It is great thought and in- srirng
 But. hist, There is fly in the ointment. Just one little insect but 'tis enough. only single muscd domcstica. but it has caused grief unutterable
 For. be it known while there arc full 800 patriots-no. not 300 full patriots-ready for the sacrifice there are only 4G altars on which the of- fering can be made. In plain United States there are only 40 jobs Co b' handed out.
 Now. the best arithmctician eN- ! tant has never been able cquitabiy and satisfactorily to divide forty
 jobs among coo job-scckers. Where fore. there is like to he some weep
 ing and wailing and gnashing oi teeth

There vii be an important confer rnce today at the Water Users building ;he result of which may be the under taking of new work by thr reclamation service in extending the south side canal system clear to the west end of the Salt river mountains. The land owners west of Central avenue and south of the river. between it and the mountains desire the carrying out of the reclamation service plans for com pleting the Western canal from the proposed san Francisco Crosscut, 5is miles east of Central avenue tO point six miles southwest of Central avenue, making a total or 11Is miles. along the highest possible gravity line. This work was stopped at the initial point named on account of no more funds being available for construction.
 The land owners who hope to secure water through the proposed ditch now plan to raise the money for completing this work providing they are assured they will be credited for the amount SO expended Jn the payments later to be made for project construction. The farmers brought the matter before the board Of governors at its meeting a week ago today, and a committee oi the board members was appointed tC secure plans and estimates of cost. oi the reclamation service which it is be LeVed iS favorable tO the enterprise il 4 can bc carried out.
 Today the committee is to meet with Project Engineer Fitch to secure plans and estimates if possible. and it is un- derstood that a number of the lanC owners will also be present to ascer- tain the facts just as soon as the com. mittee secures them. for it is matte m which they are deeply concerned.

 Since the mosquito has proved him. self such a nuisance as to make life uncomfortable in this pretty residen1 tiaI town during the warm weather. the monied people gladly contributed and $8,400 has been raised. Oliver A, Jennings, president of the Improve ment Association, signed the contract today and the work will be started this week by the New York company which has undertaken similar jobs in them out to a successful conclusion.
 The Improvement association de- serves much credit for working up so much interest in the plan and nearly every prominent resident of the town has become associated with the association and has been active in the campaign.
