INDIAN MAIDENS LEAVE
NEVER TO RETURN
CFrom Wednesdays Daily

NTGOIl w CulCSAdN DdlIg -
Housewives OF Prescott to the
number OF at least twenty are in the
throes OF anguish all on account OF
losing their Indian girl domestics.
The stunt that caused hegira OF
the maidens in a body to the sunny
southland last week was the coming
to Phoenix OF Ringing Bros. cir
Gus, the copper-colored lassies in
forming their mistresses that they
were DESTROYS of having a few days
1ay-off to see the sights and to min
gle with their kin folks admdst the
scenes with the shadow OF the In
dian school where they passed their
days in an aboringee state in book
learning.
The ruse OF the girls worked
with all the cunning OF trained dip
lomatic tutorship and one spoke
for all to the number of at least
twenty. Unlike most of their sex
there was not a single girl who
gave the slightest intimation of the
game to be played. They modestly
got aboard the train and went whiz-
zing to the capital city-never to re-
turn. The compact was so cleverly
carried out that even the Prescott
housewives to this day are not
aware of the game that was played
so unsuspectingly on their gener-
Gus inclinations. Not an Indian
girl is left in the city and when
summer comes next year probably
they may come back to ask for
giveness for putting one over" on
the pale face.

TO FLOOD CITY RANCH
FOR IRRIGATION.
(From Wednesdays Daily

w CullGSudy OdilS.f
Prescott's City Council yesterday
afternoon heard ex-senator Burton
representative OF the Arizona Land
ard Irrigation Company, discuss the.
proposed flooding of a portion OF
the city's ranch which is located
upon the proposed site of the reser-
voir to be built in connection with
the great land reclamation project
Although no definite decision was
arrived at there is every indication
that the city fathers will aid the
irrigation company in. its project
by granting the privilege desired
free of charge. This decision will
probably follow joint inspection
trip this morning 10 the property
in question.
The land company representative
by appointment waited upon the city
council in the city hall yesterday
afternoon. He came 10 the point
fast and soon dispelled the idea held
by several OF the councilmen that
the irrigation company was willing
TO buy the property in question. He
pointed out in no mistaken terms
that the company wanted the free
use of that section desired for the
reservoir. claiming that the benefits
10 lie derived after the lake was
PIT there would more than COM
pensate the city Tor the privilege.
The city council paid Sl8.225 for
the ranch and the purchase was
negotiated primarily for sewerage
purposes. \ rental Of $500 per
wear : also derived from lease
which conveys the use OF the entire
ranch and a house.
II was pointed out that the 10
cation of the reservoir upon this
site would in no way interfere with
he sewerage system.
After il was ic~-@cA tia. the irri-
CATION company harbored no inten-
ton 10 pay for the privilege Of
flooding the ranch in dollars and
cents the councilmen turned their
intention to negotiating the best
deal possible Councilman Whisman
thought that the city should reserve
the park and water privileges.
Mr.. Burton indicated the fallacy
OF such a proposition inasn1uch that
the company would then be unable
to regulate its waters.
Speaking candidly. as he termed
il. Mr.. Burton declared that unless
the city gave is sanction to the
flooding OF that section OF the city
ranch as indicated upon the speclh-
cations it would be impossible to
erect the dam and consequently
the project would have to be
abandoned until such time as a salts
factory arrangement could be made.
Councilman Harry Heap expressed
the opinion that he didn't believe
there was a man or woman IN Pres
colt who would not sanction the
( conveying OF the privilege in view OF
the great results to be derived.
He pointed out new difficulty
however. About a mile OF water
pipe runs directly beneath the pro
posed site of the reservoir. The
specifications also show that por-
ton of the county road would have
to be flooded. These matters, he
pointed out, would have to be al
tended TO by the company.
! In discussing the project. Mr.
Burton declared that as soon a;
the privilege was granted. the con
tractors for the construction OF the
Granite creek dam would forward
their first construction corps to th'
scene.
