INDIAN PRAYER RUGS
 ARE VERY SUITABLE GIFTS
Large Stock CT Them Just Received
 at BAke's Big Curio Store.

For the information of tourists who are about to return to their homes and Phoenicians who are going back to visit their old homes and are cud- seling their brains, trying to think of suitable presents to take to friends, the Navajo prayer rug is suggested. \ large stock Of them has just been received at Balke's Big CuriO Store. Some of them are made of native In dian wool, colored with native dyes and others are made by the Indians, of Germantown yarn.
 The former are very nice for throw ing in front of dresserS and other ar ticles of furniture where the carpet is much used and for throwing about the floor where the carpet shows signs of Wear. The Germantown rugs ale suitable for stand covers, pillow tops and wall decorations.
 The new stock of the Big Curio Store have come direct from the Nav ajo reservation and they are beauti- ful but not expensive.
 They would be very much appre- ciated by friends in the east. not only because of the uses to which they could be put, but because they are prayer bugs, made by the Indians One Of these rugs would occupy very little room. In fact, it would be difficult to think of d nicer gift for a friend

CHRISTMAS IS COMING
 LITTLE OUT OF SEASON
Inform alton Exclusively for Phoenix
 Bell Hops and Hotel Porters.

Christmas is coming to PhoenlX a little out of season. The Christmas will be not for the children of Phoenix generally but for the fortunate belt- hops and porters of the hotel where Christmas register. Christmas is the other name for Mrs. A. C. Rosenfield of whose stay and munificence while in Los Angeles, the Times says:
 "Porters. bell boys and other at tendants at the Westminster were sorry when Mrs. A. c. ROsenfield of Doug las, Alaska, left the hotel yesterday. She was more lavish with tips than any other guest at the hotel in recent years.
 "She gave the porter g for giving her dog a drink of water, 50 cents to the bell boys who took ice water to her room, mailed a letter, or performed any other trivial service. When a boy marveled at her generosity she ex- plained:
 ' can afford it, because I just sold dog for 5000 and am on my way to Phoenix to deliver another for abou- the same price. Take this half dollar and find out when my train leaves =
 Her husband made a fortune in the Alaska gold fields.

WATER USERS VOTE TODAY
 ONLY AN ADVISORY ONE
Statement by President Orme Regard
 ing it.

Some misunderstanding having aris- en over the purpose and effect of the vote to be taken by the water users tomorrow (Tuesday) on the question of the desirability of taking over the operation and management of the dis tributing system of the Salt River pro ject the board of governors desire the following explanation to be made:
 It is the understanding of the board that the vote is simply of an advisory nature to secure an expression of opin- ion as to the policy of taking over the distributing system. Should that ex- pression be favorable as it is expected to be, then would come negotiations with the secretary of the interior as to the terms and conditions under which he will be willing to let the association act in the capacity of mana ger of the system. Such agreement would ulti- mately have to be passed upon by vote of the shareholders of the association before it could become effective. and any expression of opinion now would not bind the association or it's share holders in advance to accept the terms of whatever agreement might be pro- posed afterward. It is not intended or contemplated that any existing contract or agreement with the government shall be altered or abrogated by the new agreement, except upon the expressed approval of the shareholders to that effect
 A vote Yes" on this proposition means simply to favor entering into negotiations with the secretary of the interior for an agreement to take over the management of the distributing system.
 By order of the Board of Governors,
 JOHN P. ORME, President

What are supposed to be the pranks of
an insane alien have terrorized farmers
along the Elkton road. two miles from
Newark. 10 such degree that a posse
was organized Sunday afternoon and for
several hours unsuccessfully searched
the Bowers and Campbell woods, where
the man is supposed to live in hut that
he. has erected.

man, who is making mysterious visits to
farmers in the locality. is the same who
last week. after turning COW loose from
the barn Of John Myers. tied woman's
gold watch and CLAIM to the halter around
the cows neck.
Saturday night jar of preserves and
two razors were stolen from the Myers
house. Early Sunday hired man who
had slept in the barn, observed a foreign
er prowling around. He gave the hired
man an empty jar and two razors, say
ing Much obliged"
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowers, who ownes the
farm. found dozen eggs on her porch.
The McConaguahey farm and others in
the neighborhood have been visited. milk
has been stolen and poured out for dogs
and calves, and the live stock turned
loose. All these mysterious actions are
'ascribed to the queer stranger.
Alfred Burgess, coiored. serveral days

alien. in his house. He had Burgess
revolver in his hand but gave it up with
