for "insinuating that l am mixed up
in graft" and received a reply from

such insinuations, merely having stat
ed that reports that crooked work was
going on had come to his ears, and at
the same time giving the trustee the
names of several men whom he SAID

ment of the interior will in the very near future send an engineer to Tempe to look the ground over. perhaps take soundings and measurements, and re- port on the plans that have been pro- posed for draining this section of the country. one plan is the putting down of deep wells to drain the water into these and pump the water and use it to irrigate the Indian lands south of the Tempe district. The other plan that of open ditches. If the first plan should be followed the cost to farmers interested, would perhaps be very nominal one This drainage project will open a vast amount of land now idle to use, old farms that were once fer tile and now almost useless would again be brought back to fertility, oth- CT land that will soon be abandoned would be saved and made again into fields of alfalfa and cotton and the cattle of California will need the land for pasturage.

NEW PHOEN|CIAN
 BEST P. |. 5. ANNUAL
Seniors Turn Out Book School Can
 be Proud of.

The Phoenician for 1913 celebrated it's first birthday yesterday. The new
 high school annual is the crowning achievement of the class of IS, F. H.
 S, ad it is in all probably the largest
 and finest school publication ever turned out in Arizona.
 The big book is bound in purple and
 gold, the senior colors, and between the covers are more than one hundred and fifty pages of fine white paper marked
 this way and that with signs for thoughts"
 Such an expensive publication as this is made possible only by the gen 1 erosity of the business men of the city. l The annuals are sold to the students at 1 one dollar each but the cost of getting them out is greatly in excess of that amount and the advertisers bear a i large part of the burden.
 The circulation of the annual has l jumped twenty five per cent, since
 last year Three hundred copies of the
 Phoenician for 112 were printed and the
 sale Of the present issue is three
 hundred and seventy-five. Besides i having a greater circulation than last years Phoenician the new annual has | larger pages ad more of them, more 1 pictures, more jokes, more stories, and | more joy in general
 So much achievement means that i there has been an able staff at work
 early and late for months. The mem 1 bers of the staff are Paul Cook, sditor i in chief; Stayton Doris and Julian 1 Gang, business managers; Miss Nellie | Teasdale, literary editor; Leo Wonder
 acek, art editor; James Higley, ath ! letic editor; Miss Kathryn Ormond, sO- ciety editor; Jake Thoman, joke editor; | Miss Florence Tremane, alumni edi- 1 tor; Miss Edith Feel, class poet; Miss Ruth Griffin, class prophet; Miss Jean l Armstrong, class historian.

BRACk CASE ID HIGHER COURT ON AN APPEAL
Physician Prescription Ordinance of
 Town of Mesa to Be Tested

The case of the Town of Mesa vs
 Dr. M w. Brack was called in Justice
 lrWin's court yesterday afternoon at
 one o'clock. The charge against the
 doctor was for writing a prescription
 for liquor that was not legally word
 ed. The case was tried without a
 jury and there was no evidence in troduced by the prosecution to show
 that the prescription was illegal the
 judge held that the defendant was
 not guilty and turned him loose. But the prosecution immediately gave notice of an appeal to the superior
 court. This case has caused con- siderable stir among the local phy-
 sicians and druggists, as under a de- cision of guilty nearly every physi- elan in town would have been inn mediately prosecuted
 The ordinances of the town of 1 Mesa declare that a druggist shall not sell liquor on a prescription that is not worded according to for i mula given in the ordinance. but it does not say that a physician shall issue only that kind of q prescrip- tion while the intention may be inn piled. The wording of the ordinance on the guilt of the physician is as vague as IL Is certain of the guilt of the druggist should he be guilty of selling liquor son such a prescription, but as it has been the custom of druggists from time immemorial to fill physicians prescriptions regard
 less of the handwriting or wording,
 most of the druggists of the city have until now paid little attention
 to the formula prescribed by law. They probably realized the fact that
 should one of these prescriptions fall into the hands of the law only a
 trained prescriptionist would be able to decipher the various hieroglyphics
 it contained The case will be car
 ried to the supreme court in order to
 test the legality of the city law that
 changes the formula so long used by
 the medical profession.
