GRADUATING SEASON
IS ONE DAY NEARER
Why the Rush to BaIke's Big Curio
Store for Gifts.

The time is here when graduating
gifts will have TO be made, If made at
all In consequence there is something
of a rush at Balke's Big Curio store
where these gifts abound in great pro-
fusion. Mention has been made or
the Indian jewelry made in coin silver,
some of the articles set with the semi
precious stones of this state, notably.
TURQUOISE There are rings and brace
let's. beside other articles, all of them
old and long worn by the Indians. Thls
iewelry bears the quaint but not m
artistic carvings of the Indian Jeweier'
There is also the petrified WOOD
ieweIry than which there is nothing
more beautiful or more acceptable
Both the Indian and the petrified wood
jewelry consist of pieces suitable for
both girls and boys.
There are also many beautiful pieces
of Mexican drawnwork any of which
would make a very suitable gift for a
Young lady. There are many othe1
lines from which appropriate gifts
might be selected. The problem OF
what to get solves itself after one looks
over the stock of the Big Curio Store
so wide. is the variety.
Any of these things would be most
highly priced by the recipient for they
are both unique and eautiful.-AdVer-
tisement.

0RME ARRIVES
NEXT THURSDAY
President of Water Users
Association Coming Back
From~Important Confer
ence at Washington
Some New Policies

Having concluded his labors in
users of the Salt River valley, John P.
Orme is now on his homeward journey
He wired yesterday from New Orleans
he would be in Phoenix on Thursday
Nearly a month in Washington, the
representatives of the projects all over
the United States have conferred with
Secretary Lane and only in the past
week have they arrived at any definite
conclusion. At the suggestion of the
secretary, the project men got together
and outlined their most crying needs
as they saw them, and submitted the
recommendations which were printed
in full in Sundays Republican.
Though MT. Lane has not said what
he will do with the recommendations
il is the common opinion of water us
ers that he will discuss the suggestions
with the heads of the service and i'm
pose such of them as definite policies
as meet with general approval. Per-
haps no sign of the working OF these
policies will be evident right away, but
a large part of the recommendations
are practically certain to be accepted
and win sooner or later make themselves
| felt through the operation of the de-
| partment in the various irrigated dis
| tricts.
| Two of the most important recon-
mendations are those touching time
| extension and the delivery of the man
| agement of the projects to the water
| users associations. In the first case,
| not all the projects wish to have the
| time of repayment to the government
| extended, and so the recommendation
/ is so worded that it can be made to
| apply to the projects demanding its ac-
| ton. The clause referring to turning
| over the management to the project
| owners is the one specific thing Lane
| told the representatives he could not
| grant. There has been a plan sug-
| gested, however. and it is one that has
| met approval with the reclamation SER
| vice. This is to turn over the manage
| ment of all the delivery laterals to the
| water users and for the government to
| retain only the management of the
=! main canals. power canals and reser-
] vors This it is claimed would result
| in smoothing out the contact surfaces
| between the water users and the gov
| ernment. Director Newell has always
| maintained that the zanjero division Is
| the one needing to exercise the greatest
| amount Of tact and patience in manip-
ulating its affairs, and to turn over
1 that section of the maintenance and
| operation department to the water US
ers association would be in effect APP
| plying oil to the friction parts.
| All these policies received attention
at the meet, and many of them will be
! among those finally adopted by the
| government At any rate, the session
| will result in closer working relation
ship between the two great factors in
| irrigation and reclamation work, and
will mark another step toward the real
| goal that has been almost lost sight OF
| in the differences-the making OF
| homes in the arid regions.

More Progressive Burdens.

1t is getting so that the taxpayers of
Wisconsin have to be as watchful as
sheep against wolves to guard them
selves from the Progressive schemes
that are all the time being Matched up
at Madison to spend the money of the
state upon wild and visionary projects.
The latest is the attempt of State For
ester Griffith to saddle tremendously
burdensome tax of one and one-tenth
mills and an amendment of the consti-
tuition whereby tax of two and one
tenth mills may be placed upon the
people in a few years These Progress
sives seem to think that the farmers
and other taxpayers of the state are
burdened with money which they are
aching to turn over to the keeping of
anybody that asks for it in the name
'Progressiveness." The facts are that
the farmers and small property owners
are utterly unaware of where these
Progressive schemers are leading them
to. All these fellows are thinking of
is how to wiring more and more money
from the taxpayers, build up lot of
expensive commissions to spend it.
They depend upon this big army of tax
spenders to so deceive and delude the
people as to keep them in office.-Fort
Atkinson Union.
