JUPITER PLUVIUS
 BEHIND HIS SCHEDULE
(From Saturdays DaiIv)

(From Saturdays DaiIy)
 Why the unwonted neglect at the hands of Jupiter Pluvius?
 This query, couched in somewhat different language, has become the most popular question of the way. Ii has relegated the pros and cons of European war arguments to neg lected background, and even tempo rarily forced off the boards such an important discussion as concerning the probable contenders in the next worlds series. Has the traditional "Givcr of Rain taken offenSe at what he deems ingratitude for past bless ings, or is some explainable scientific cause existent to which may be attri- buted the long delay of the accus- toned rainy season?
 Oldtimers seem as much at loss for any positive theory as to the real cause of the continued drouth, as are those less familiar with local condi- tions. Statements of persons living here for a decade, attest the truth of the assertion that not often in a peri cd of ten years, has the annual rainy season failed to make its entrance by the Fourth of July at the latest. The weather "sharps" and "near-sharps" are beginning to devote consider able amount of mental energy to the task of doping out" the problem in volved
 Perhaps the best theory was passed out by an old-timer who has made a careful study of local conditions of almost every nature. Here are some of his remarks pertinent to the sub ject.
 Failure of rain to come, up to this time. is due to the late and backward spring, and the cold lasting so long. That rain was at hand was indicated. last week, by the way the clouds boiled up Rain usually follows pro tracted hot spells, accompanied by high warm winds.
 Some close observers say that we will get no rain until the next full of the moon, which will be about the 10th of July. The winter rainfall was so abnormal that the damage due to the present lack of rain has been negligible"
 "Old-timer" closed with the follow ing bit of local philosophy: Any one who has been a resident of Ari- zona for any length of time has learn ed from experience not to forecast or prognosticate more than "A hours, or that, if he did, he would be taking large chances"

LIKE A DREAM" SAYS
 PIONEER EMANUEL
(From Sundays Daily.)

'
 q am going to shake the Hassay- ampa soil from my feet and take the first trip out of this county in exactly Al years to day; it's like dream, said A. Emanuel, yesterday, as he boarded the train for San Francisco, with his wife.
 This pioneer resident arrived in Prescott on July 10, 1874, and as the years have continued to roll by, he has diligently pursued his vocation as painter. His departure was attend ed with quite an ovation from his many Prescott acquaintances. "I would rather leave in the manner in which came into Prescott, on the old stage coach, but that is impossible as the iron horse Is the style these days, and I'll take my medicine" were his parting words.
 Mir. Emanuel was one of the first musicians to organize a brass band in this city, nearly 40 years ago, and to this day, he is still devoted to that calling with his favorite alto horn, that he has owned and used for a third of century. MT. and Mrs. Emanuel are to remain away for three months.

RULES TO KEEP
 MILK CLEAN AND PURE
(Frem S':nGay'S Daily.l


 Good, clean and pure milk deliver ed by the producer can be made i'm pure by the consumer after it is re ceived as easily as it can be made unhealthy through the dairyman not taking proper precautions, and Dr. C. A. Meserve in charge of the state branch laboratory in this city yester- day declared that if the following set of rules was followed by both pro ducer and consumer the danger would be lessened greatly.
 The rules for the public to follow in keeping milk sanitary after it has been delivered are as follows:
 Put the milk in a cool place as soon as received.
 Do not allow the milk to stand in the warm kitchen.
 Always keep the milk well covered except when pouring from the con tainer.
 Always wash your bottles as soon as empty.
 When there is dirt in the bottom of the bottle notify the dairyman, no, the driver.
 The dirt in milk is mainly manure, a dangerous substance for food.
 For the dairyman the following rules are given:
 Cows should not enter or stand in 'dobe holes and should not be milked in wet or dusty places.
 Employ only healthy milkers; see that they are clean and that the COWS are thoroughly cleaned before milk ing.
 Milk only into covered" pails.
 Chill the milk immediately after milking. Bacteria multiply rapidly even at a moderately cool tempera- ture.
 Bacteria mean dirt and the bat teria in your milk are counted in the laboratory.
 The state standards demand clean milk of at least BPS per cent milk fat. Visible dirt is always sufficient cause for prosecution.

CRAWLED ALONG GRAND
 CANYON RIMROCK
(From Sundays Daily)


 Scouting the rim of the Grand Canyon, from the Needles Bridge to Lees Ferry, was the novel and in teresting trip negotiated by MT. and Mrs. Byrd Wheaton, Mir. and Mrs Coalter Agnew, and Blaine White and daughter Miss E. Perry White, all of Cohocs, N. Y.
 The party arrived in Prescott Fri day night in autos and contemplate further sightseeing journeys, in visit ing Montezuma's Well and the Aztec Castle on Beaver creek. Speaking of the trip along Grand Canyon, MT. Agnew said:
 "We were 49 days out with our pack outfit, and approximately 185 miles of country were traversed. We hired two Chimeuvis Indians to guide us, and the trip was a revelation in natures wonderful panorama of bewildering landscape. We saw the canyon as none others have, from where it begins to where it ends. This was the finishing touch to our Western journey in visiting the San Francisco and San Diego eXpositions, and we will state this fact for Arizona, it can boast of what is not excelled anywhere in the world, for sightsee- ing reflection, or interest. We had an enjoyable time from start to finish, and the novelty of camping out every night was beneficial to our health, as well as instructive, in realizing what pioneers had accomplished in their dash across the Rockies so many years ago. We will cherish memories of Arizona's wonderland, and others will do as we have done"
 The visitors will resume their homeward journey in auto later, and after the Petrifed Forests and Pueblo Indian villages are visited, boarding the cars at Albuquerque, N. M. They travelled west over the Lincoln high way.

NATIONAL PARK TO BE
 MADE OF GRAND CANYON


 PHOENIX, July 10.- In support of the plan to have the land surround ing the Grand Canyon set aside as National Park the local chamber of commerce has enlisted Enos Mills, the man who put across the bill ere ating the great Estes Park in Colo rado. A letter from Mir. Mills, re- ceived yesterday contains the state ment that in its resolution the cham Der of commerce shows real ap- preciation of the wonderful natural phenomenon, called the canyon.
 The purposes of the chamber of commerce in this line, are well ex- pressed in the resolution, which has already claimed the interest of the governor and many outside individ- uals, interested in the park.
 Whereas, The United States is singularly rich in natural wonders and in delightful places, and
 Whereas, In all the world the first natural wonder is the Grand Can yon of Arizona, and
 Whereas, Every encouragement should be given by the government of the United States, to all of its citi- zens, to the end that they visit these places where nature Is at its grand est, and further that they be afforded every facility and convenience when visiting these places of scenic beauty, now therefore be it
 Resolved, By the chamber of com merce, Phoenix, Arizona, through its board of directors in regular meeting assembled, this 24th day of June, 1915, that we do hereby earnestly recommend the creation and cstab- lishment of the Grand Canyon of Ari- zona National Park at the earliest possible moment, and the chamber of commerce makes this recommenda- ton believing that the park would be of great value to the citizens of the United States in general, conducive to their education and enjoyment and would further, be of aid in the preser- vation of this great natural wonder.

THREE BILLS ARE
 LAWS WITHOUT SIGNATURE
(From Sundays Dally)


 PHOENIX, July 10.-Three bills, the last of those passed at the sec ond extra session, became laws auto matically last night without the gov crnor's signature They are the bill amending the semi-annual payment of taxes law, the county division bill and the Golfer irrigation district bill. The first bill changes the time when taxes become delinquent to May 1 and November 1, thereby relieving the schools from the embarrassment which would have resulted under the law as first passed. Taxes are due sixty days before the dates named. The second measure prcscribes the conditions under which an election shall be held for county division and the percentage of votes of the total registration of the county in order that such division shall become ef- fcctive. The third bill, known as the Coltcr irrigation district bill, provides for the creation of irrigation dis ticts and lays down conditions for their organization
