iMPAlRiNG THE NATIONAL
 CREDIT.

An incident of this week which at tracted not a little attention was the sale of a small lot Of United States government per cent bonds of 1880 on the New York Stock Exchange at 997s, this being the first instance of these bonds selling below par. The bonds are moreover, stated to be off, cred freely at par, the present price comparing with quotations as high as l01 1s at the beginning of the year The decline and the selling pressure which occasioned it are apparently a direct result of the provisions in the pending currency bill that United States bonds be deprived of their function of serv- ing IS security for national bank cir culatiOn, and that the outstanding 2 per cents be eventually converted into per cents devoid of the circulation privilege. It is explained by the fram- CTS of the proposed currency bill that the withdrawal and conversion will be extended over a term of years Ma tlonal banks, however, are the holders of all but small proportion of the $646, 6,250, 150 per cents. mainly for securing their circulation, and the pos sibil1ties in connection with the chang es in the law have led the manage ments of various institutions to sell them if possible at par. The feeling that the interests of national banks as holders of the bonds may suffer is possibly an error, but the existence of such ideas is shown by the course of the quotations for the issue in this weeks market-Bradstreets

.DO N0T WANT
 CONTRACT NOW
The Chandler Improvement Company Said to Be Past Stage Where Power and Water Agreement Would Do Them Any Good

Now that the governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users As sociation have turned down the so- called Chandler Contract word comes direct from headquarters that the Chandler Improvement Company 1 promoter of the 1000 acres of project i land south of Mesa, do not now de- 1 sire the signing of that document by l the secretary of the interior, for the i benefits that were to have accrued 1 through the accelerated delivery of
 water to the Chandler tract are now past due, and the sellers of lands do rot care to continue the negotiations.
 It is had direct from Manager Loftus 1 of the Chandler Improvement com | rany that two plans are now being l considered for the further improve ] ment of the tract and it's disposal. 1 One contemplates expending the l $125.000 for pumping plants and la 1 terals, and the setting of the entire l tract to Egyptian cotton, the land to l be withheld from the project and 1 owned and cultivated by the com pany. The other plan is to complete the batteries of pumps and the ditch lines, sell the lands to individuals in amounts not exceeding 160 acres to each, the buyer paying enough to make him a shareholder in the min iature pumping project. Then when the land is all divided among farm CTS, and the pumping project is com pleted the owners of the land and
 it's system can confer with the pro-
 ject concerning turning over the ir-
 rigation improvements and entering
 the reservoir.
 Objection to the first plan at first seemed to be this: that the sigma
 ture of the contract acts as an ap- plication for water, and thus com bells the land to remain as part debtor for the dam and other parts or the system. But this was found to be untrue. The contract provides that after the plants are finished the land owners may then take the same course as other members Of the project-a course which provides for making formal application for water service So the land is no, pledged to the project. though. being signed up, it may demand a share in the reservoir, as accorded by law to e" lands.
 The Chandler tract is particularly suitable to the culture of Egyptian long fibred cotton, the staple that is fast acquiring steadfast place in the regard of Salt River Valley farm CTS To build a pump project and put in TOGO acres of cotton would be the greatest enterprise ever promot- ed with the long fibred staple as . basis, and would undoubtedly in time make immense returns 10 the own- CTS. But to build this project and sell the lands would make immediate and also large returns. Seeing that the board of governors still suspects 2 joker in the contract, the Chandler people are now said to be seriously contemplating putting in motion one of the plans above described but which or how. are questions that at present cannot be answered by any one but those on the inside of the com Dany's councils.

l fit himself for the musical profession. ] He has been particularly fortunate in ! his selection of teachers and began 1 his vocal studies under the tutelage l of the late Dr. J. w. Bischoff, the 1 famous vocal teacher. organist and ] composer. After several years of study with Dr. Bischoff he took d i tWo-year course of lessons in tone placing and the traditional interpreta- 1 tion of oratOrio and operatic arias 1 from George Goldsmith Daland. pu- 1 piI of William Shakespeare of Lon i don. Eventually he entered the Washington College of Music and 1 took a three-year course of private vocal lessons from Sydney Lloyd Wrightson, president and director of the college, and an exponent of the l Shakespeare method of voice training, with view of securing a thorough training to qualify himself as a teacb- CT of singing. Subsequently he taught singing in his private studio at Washington and the success of his
 pupils in concert and church work fully demonstrates his capablity
 properly to develop and train the singing voice.
 MT. Mills has also met with sue
 cess as a director of church choirs

 work, he was for the two years just
 past, director of the Mount Pleasant
 Singing society of Washington, an
 organization of about one hundred
 voices, which devoted it's efforts
 chiefly to a study of Oratorio.
 He has sung with the New York
 Symphony orchestra under the 6irec-
 tion of Walter Damrosche and has appeared with Charles Wakefield
 Cadman, Charles Gilbert Sprose, FL len Beach Yaw and other artists
 His work has been the subject of very favorable comment by the press wherever he has sung. MT.
