HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, May s, 1917.

This is a doubtful and threatening day.
according to astrology. Saturn, Uranus,
Mars and the Sun are all in evil aspect
Early in the morning Uranus Is friendly
and later Jupiter has a kindly sway.
1t is a fairly favorable rule for certain
large transactions in buying and selling.
Merchants should be lucky, If they take
no serious risks.
Bankers have the Representation Of ex-
traordinary problems. money risks on a
large scale and possible complications
that incur heavy losses.
This is a,day when all important busi-
ness affairs should be held in allegiance.
II is not good for any activity in which
the support or concurrence Of persons
in places of authority is needed.
The President of the United States may
find that, owing to this sway of the stars,
opposition to certain policies develops.
Mars again gives warning that SOL
diers will have some sort of activity and
trouble in which high officers are con-
cerned.
Changes in the Presidents Cabinet,
prophested for the late spring or early
summer. may affect three men.
Uranus continues in an aspect that
seems to foreshadow explosions, and Sa-
turn Indicates underground dangers.
While this rule of the stars prevails
1t Is wise not to seek promotions or new
employment Of any sort,
Cuba will occupy public attention next
month. astrologers predict
Universities are subject to a sway that
puts them into close relation with the
United States government Honors for
students are prognosticated.
Again the spread OF faith in spiritual
Ism is prophesied. This will be recog-
nized as one Of the signs of the times
Trouble through some religious enter
prise, which will be carried on in a large
Eastern city is foretold.
Persons whose birthdate It is should
beware of false friends. In the family
the year will be more fortunate than in
business, where business cares may null
uply.
Children born on this day may be self
Milled and impetuous- These subjects of
Taurus are likely to have many friends.
Girls have the augury Of happy marriage

SAN CARLOS DITCH
PROBLEM DEFERRED

The vexed question raised by the
order of the corporation commission
to the San Carlos Canal and
Irrigation company, directing that
concern to bring it's holdings up to
the standard required to take care of
lands under the old Florence ditch,
has again been deferred through the
signing this week of a stipulation by
which the entire matter is postponed
until April /, 1918. The case was
scheduled to come up in the federal
court next month, and the effect of
the stipulation is to leave the matter
in statu quo for another six months.
In the meantime it is believed that
the construction of the government
dam at Florence will automatically
solve many of the problems arising
out of the financial condition of the
and the attempt on the part
of the corporation commission to COM
pei it to enlarge it's bitches and fur
nish water to the land under the ditch.

SCHOOLS
CLOSED BECAUSE
Of WATER FAMINE

Stafford, Sept. 1.-THE water
situation in Stafford became acute the
fore-part of the week when it became
known that the Gila Valley Electric
Gas & Water company would be un-
able to furnish sufficient water for
the city until it rains. The schools
which opened Monday were dismissed
until next week after the pupils had
been enrolled. The residents who live
above the railroad tracks have been
without water for the past two weeks.
The city is without fire protection at
the present time and will be at the
mercy of any fire which might start
until the situation is relieved.
A petition signed by a large num-
Der of water users has been forwarded
to the corporation commission at
Phoenix praying for an investigation
of the water company. A committee
of water users made trip of inspec-
tion to the source of supply in the
mountains, Monday, and they state
that there is very little water at the
head of the pipe line. According to
their statement, there is quite
stream running about three-quarters
of a mile farther up the canyon, but
most of 1t sinks before it reaches the
pipe line.

FLORENCE P. 0.
AND NEWSPAPER
OFFICE GUTTED

The Florence postoffice and the Of
flee and printing plant of the Florence
Blade-Tribune were destroyed by fire
last Saturday. The loss is estimated
at about $4,000, partially covered by
insurance.
The fire originated in the printing
plant, having started, it is believed,
from the gas engine used to furnish
power. Owing to the lack of water
system, the only means at hand was
the chemical extinguisher cart, and
when this was brought, it was found
that the apparatus had been left un-
charged. By the time the chemical
apparatus could be charged, the post
office and printing plant were seen to
be doomed, and the efforts of the fire
fighters, who were assisted by num-
ber of convicts from the prison, were
turned to preventing the fire from
spreading. The Blade-Tribuhe will be
printed in Phoenix temporarily pend
ing the, installation of anew plant.
A quantity of mail was destroyed in
the postoffice, only the registered
mail being saved.

RAY CON CLUB
PLANS GOOD TIMES

At the regular meeting of the board
of governors of the Ray Con- club,
held September II, 1917, it was de-
cided to arrange for seires of high
class entertainments to be given at
the club house during the winter 1t
is the intention of the board of gov
ernors to provide these entertain
ments with view especially to fur
nish amusement for the families of
the club members. AS the rules of
the club prohibit the charge of any
kind to it's members except the regu-
lar monthly due of 81, it becomes ap-
parent that the larger the member
ship, the more money will become
available for the entertainment of this
membership.
John O'Donnell has been appointed
steward at the Ray Con. club.
