we reject with contumely Wilson's

Important Matters, Includ- ing Drainage, Litigation and Sale of Materials Up
 Meeting Association Heads

Taking the first important step to- keting bureau for this valley, acting upon the drainage problem and fixing the time for turning the water out of the big canals. the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users association yesterday afternoon held one of the most important meetings it has had this year.
 James H. Collins, government mar kettng expert, who has spent several months in this state Investigating mar keung problems, recently suggested in his report that the proper place for the establishment of a permanent market ing bureau was within the Water Us- CTS association. He pointed out that this organization is primarily formed to care for the agricultural interests of Tnis valley and that one of the most important features of this care is to properly aid in marketing the products produced unde rthe irrigation project.
 The board of governors yesterday af- ternoon decided that as a board it looks with favor upon the suggestion that this important work be made a portion of the official business of the associa- tion and the governors requested the legal advisor, Judge Kibbey, to draft a suitable amendment to the articles of incorporation so that this work may be legally undertaken. The amendment Judge Kibbey draws up is then to go to the council of the association and if approved, is to be submitted to the shareholders in the association at the next general election. Thus, it will take time to establish such a depart ment of the associations work but at the same time an important step in the necessary chair of proceedings was taken yesterday.
 Drainage Problem Considered
 The question of handling the drain age problem, particularly as it affects lands north of the Arizona canal im- mediately north of the city, was con- sidered. Judge Kibbey held that the association is not empowered through its articles to engage in a drainage business stoating that an amendment would be required to allow it to do SO However. it was decided to secure an idea of the cost of establishing a pump ing system, the system to be used pri- marily for the production of water for Irrigation but, incidentally, also drain

Rudolph Kuchler, member of the state tax commission, who is very ill at the Hotel Adams with tonsilitis contracted while at Atlanta, Ga, in attendance at the National Tax con- ference, is some better, according to a statement made last night by his physician, Dr. A. B. Nichols
 The throat affliction attacked MT. Kuchler severely on the first day of the conference, and Atlanta physi- cians advised that MT Kuchler go to a hospital there and submit 70 an operation. Instead, he took the first train for home. The trip was exceedingly tiresome and aided ser,- ously in aggravating the malady. However, with rest and attention, Mr. Kuchler is expected to recover in a short time
 The train on which MT. kuchler was travelling was halted at Tempe by railroad wreck, and the run to Phoenix from there was made by motor car. the patient reaching here Saturday night.

ing the land where established. The project engineer was requested to make an estimate of the cost of such a system with the primary object of it's usefulness in irrigation.
 Thompson Case Considered
 A proposition in writing was re- ceived from the complainant in the so- called Thompson versus the associ- ation, case. In this proposition MT Thompson, who has asked in the court that the association be forced to furn- ish him with water though he has not paid all of the assessment levied against his property by the organiZa- tion, suggests that a compromise be reached whereby he be excused from the payment of delinquent payments in return for his alleged work in the re- paid of ditches serving his property.
 Since the Thompson case is but one of several, it was decided by the gov ernors to make a blanket suggestion for a compromise. The Thompson con- promise is rejected but it was decided to remit delinquent penalties on unpaid association assessments when owners of delinquent lands pay up the princi- pal of such assessments and apply for water rights in the regular way. They are given until the first of the year tc accept this compromise and comply with its conditions.
 Sale of Materials Stops
 It has been the practice of the recla- nation service for some time to sell tC members of the association at practi- cally cost, together with the cost ot handling, such materials as were pur- chased in quantity. for example, ce- ment The board of governors yester- day decided not to try and continue this practice. s7--7

children. The story of Judge Mo Cure is worth hearing, or as it happens, seeing, for it is new Tri- angle film production called Bond of Fear" to be shown at the Co lumbia theater today.
 The stigma of an oppressive sense of guilt made him cowardly, though innocent fugitive, fleeing into the desert before his own fear of blind justice. Unfair prosecutor of his brother, betrayer of the woman he was to wed and who wanted to share his crime, the old judge suffered life and death agonies which give Bond of Fear strong moral tone.
 There are several interesting pie lures today, one of which is "The Fighting Trail" Few women of the screen have been called upon to dis play the amount of nerve and grit that Carol Holloway does in this episode.
 This is the-las chance to see the train wreck in the Santa Fe yards of Phoenix.

AGREEMENTFOR JEROME COPPER
 MINES |S MADE
Judge E. W. Lewis Brings To City Copy of Most
 Important Document; Is
 Based On McBride'S Plan

Judge Ernest w. Lewis of Phoenix has just returned from the Jeromo dis trict where he vert under appointment from the government as mediator to f0; mIlate an agreement between the miners and operate rs which would ir- sure the continuous operation of these important properties at least during the time of war. He has brought back with him a copy of the agreement reached an agreement based upon the work of the late Judge Mcbride, who was mediator in that district, with some changes to make it conform to the style of agreement reached in the Globe Miami and Clifton districts. The most important section aside from those framed by Judge Mcbride is that which provides for federal administration arbitrator. This arbi- trator is to act in a jurdicial capacity when disputes between the operators and the workers arise. if such in- stances do come up. He is to hear complaints from both sides and ad- judge the right in such instances. The arbitrator for the Jerome dis trict is to be Joseph s. Myers, who is also serving in like capacity for the Globe district. There are to be two alternates to act in case he is unable to do so.
 Aside from this feature the agree ment is said by Judge Lewis to follow along the general lines negotiated by Judge Mcbride during the time he spent at Jerome. It is calculated to keep the properties upon stage of maximum production during the course of the war and thus add to the list of assured copper supply one of the greatest copper fiels in the greatest copper states in the world

Are You a Mason?" ever funny, set to music by the Ed Redmond Musical Comedy company, given it's premier at the Elks last evening, adds another to the string of successes of this really remarkable stock organization. Unc- tious comedy abounds in this produc- tion, as all who have seen the unmusi- cal original know, and the happy in- terpolations add a lot to the produc- tion, the combination being undoubted- ly destined to fill the Elks during the present week.
 Of course, the part of James Good win fi4 MT. Redmond like a glove. He gets all the fun there is in the role out of it, and that is lot He has a good foil in Miss Koenig and Billy Cochran does his. bit in the role of the son-in-law. Miss Dingwall has a good acting chance and, as usual, fills the bill in a very satisfactory fashion.
 People are getting to expect elab- crate and finished interpolations in the Redmond productions and they were not disappointed last evening. There are 15 well done features, the best being the initial chance of the really excellent little chorus in the Missouri Waltz" MT. Kempers song,

Of course, Minor Reed brought down the house with his eccentric number, When He's All Dolled Up.' He al- ways does.
 Scenery and costumes are up to the per usual standard of excellence.
