IN ITS SEVENTH YEAR
Popular as Ever Bird of Paradise Is
Coming 10 Topeka.

Seren long, momentous years have
not wrought any appreciate changes
in Richard Walton Tullys celebrated
ukulele drama, 1.-The Bird of Para
disc" which plays it's annual engage
ment at the Grand Wednesday night
December 10.
1t is said that since 1.-The Bird" as
it is Familiarity called, was first pro-
duced in Los Angeles by Oliver
Morosco it has been flying all over
the United States with unvarying sue
cess and huge profits to its owners.
Miss Marion Hutchins, for the last
five years playing leads in A. H.
Woods's attractions, will be the
"Luana" this season. other changes
in the cast are: Jack Ellis, j. Har-
rington, Rose Watson and Naude Far
rington.
In the years that The Bird of Para
disc" has been on tour many changes
have been made from time IL time,
but never has p second company been
sent out. A high STANDARD of excel
lence has been maintained both as to
production and cast and to this fact
must be attributed the lasting success
of this remarkable and unique play CT
Hawaiian life.
The charm lies not only in its orig
inality of theme, but the play also
boasts of a heart punch" 1t tells
the pretty but pathetic love story OF
the little Hawaiian princess "Luana''
who thru no fault of hers, drags down
the young American physician by fall
ing in love with and marrying him.
Soon comes a realization that inter-
marriage of the races never turn out
happily and she ends it all by plung-
ing into a fiery volcano.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF APACHE COUNTY
JUNE IA, 1917.

We have had an interview with the water commissioners. MT. Rencher and MT. Stradling, who returned here late Tuesday night. They have now covered the entire water system of the Little Coronado River from the reservoirs on the White Noun tains to and including the St Johns field. They require the installing of Cippoletti weirs at the intake of all ditches and below all reser- voirs and also above if the reser- voir lies on a stream containing living water. We understand that this form of weir, though simple in construction, is the most accurate device for water measurement and the one most approved by up-date engineers. The com mmissioners report court eous treatment from the water users and a desire with most of them to have the water business reduced to a system. A due con- sideration for rights seems gen. erally to prevail.
 Mir. Rencher is earnest in re- commenting reservoir companies to install, in most cases, more con- venient devices for operating head gates, and also great dili- gence in the future in filling re- servoirs, beginning just as soon in the fall as the stream flow is not desired for irrigation.
 We understand the court decree contemplates giving first claim ants what water can be benefci- ally used, instead of what water such users may WANT. The com missioners state that some first claimants are not ussing nearly as much water as the decree al- lows them. In another case a ditch that was carrying 8 second feet was reduced to 2.50, the amount allowed by the late decree. MT. Stradling informs us that one water user under this ditch Stated'that it had taken him eight days and nights to water Is acres with this stream. We naturally wondered if this fellow should not be taught to IRRIGATE instead of water" his land.
 The commissioners report sec ing much irrigating that should be improved. In many cases water was made to run too far without cross ditches. It is thus nelO III one place so long that half or more of the length is water logged. Water is thus un- necessarily wasted and the crop is cut short. In other cases there was no one present-as Rencher expresses it- to preside over the stream. MT. Stradling, who is a practical irrigator, expresses the opinion that most users try to handle to large a stream. In the main, as we get the idea from these court appointees, more crops are suffering to day from too much water than from too little. These gentlemen earnestly recommend all irrgators this dry period to stay with the water day and night.
