Association met in public session
Monday At 10 o'clock to discuss
the new contract that the Secretary
OF the Interior has sent ont for the
water users to sign.
The Board listened 10 a number
OF speakers and every one of the
men consured the government for
the policy that IL has pursued in

really own the Roosevelt project.
Upon motion of w. +. Brown OF
Scottsdalc. ar esolution was adopted
that the Board Of Governors reject
the new contract and appeal direct

PHOENIX.
Eight Laws Referred.

Before the lapse Of thirty days
more. every voter in the state OF
Arizona will receive through the
mails copy OF a twenty-eight page
phamphlet from the Office OF the sec.
rotary OF state setting before him
every act of the recent legislature
upon which a referendum petition
has been filed There are in all
eight OF these petitions, and the
phamphlet would have doubles been
printed and distributed long ago
had II not been that the law gov
erning the referendum within the
state allows ninety days from the
close of the legislature in which
these documents can be filed with
the secretary of state to be placed
upon the official ballot
The propositions winch have been
put up to the people by the method
OF referendum petitions. eight in
number, are as follows The miners
lien law; the three cent fare law;
the bill regarding the qualifications
Of railroad engineers and conduct
ors; the semi-monthiy pay day bill:
the electric headlight for locomo-
fives law; the full train crew law:
the law limiting the number OF
cars that may be connected into a
train either passenger or freight:
and the game and fish law.
These with the propositions tina,
were in the pamphlet sent out some
month or six weeke ago by the
secretary's office. in which we're in
cluded the proposed amendments to
the constitution and the woman's
suffrage measure. make quite a,

In the last bunch Of propositions |
that are TO be put up to the people.
quite peculiar circumstance comes
to light. The law requires that the
official phamphlets.. for which the
state pays. which are circulated
among the voters, and which contain
all the referendum measures, shall
be sent out on or before the frs,
Monday of the third month prior to
the date OF the election. Hold the
law been rigidly complied with as
lar as this clause is concerned all
the petitions would have had TO
have been on file in the office OF the
secretary OF state sufficient time en-
ough before that to have allowed
of their being printed, developed
and addressed. and this would have
excluded the eight. In this case
since the election this year falls on
November 4. the petitions would
have had to be filed, prior to Aug

Letters Saved His Life.
That the element OF chance fig
ures largely in some peoples lives
was shown yesterday when dis
covery was made which seems to
indicate something OF just how close
to death Chief OF Police A. ]. Moore
was on Monday evening, week
ago. when he was attacked and
stabbed by a Mexican at the en-
trance 10 the city Jail A, the time
he was attacked. the chief was wear
ing his uniform coat. In the left
breast pocket were number Of let
tsrs and postcards, forming quite
a thick bundle.
When the knife wielder made one
OF his herces, lungcs. the point OF
the blade struck the bundle OF cor
respondenee. The weapon went en-
tirely through them aud the point
pricked the flesh directly over the
heart But for the protection at
forded by the contents Of the chiefs
pocket the knife would have sunk
TO the hilt in his left breast.

horses. Though, at the beginning
II seemed that there was more
than was needed, the stalls are con-
siderably more than half flied and
the fair is.a month away.
Even after the entries had been
found TO be so heavy. the commits
sion still believed that there would
be plenty Of room. for il was not
that nearly all Of the
horses entered would make their ap-

Arrangements for the music have
been completed. The Globe or

MILLIONS sTARVING.

When we read that three million
people are nj the door OF starvation
In China, we do not longer wonder
at the bloody deeds that have swept
that unhappy country in the past six
months. People can be oppressed
only so far when they will battle like
tigers against the forces that appear
TO have opposed them. The people
Of China believe that the Manchu
princes and the imperial government
have brought them to their present
deplorable state. and they have re-
beued.
But after the storm comes the
flood. and the flood that sweeps over
China now Is starvation. II seems
strange that so great mass Of the
people should be starving Ia a land
that properly conducted ought to be
one OF the richest empires OF the
world. as IL was in the days when
the Orient was the center % learning,
prosperity and luxury. The bloody
deeds OF the recent rebellion were
nothing more than the last despair

find bread.
