Man, Team and
WAGON Mliglaid

People have been frequently
known to misplace valuables but
the articles thus lost seldom are
very large in size. For this reason
the misplacing of one farm hand,
two horses and a large wagon in
Phoenix yesterday afternoon be
comes unusual, to say the least. In
this case the misplacement is not
only unusual but unusually mys-
FERROUS.
H. J. Hansen, one of the we'll
known ranchers of the Salt River
valley, came into Phoenix yesterday
to attend the meetings in the Wa
ter Users building. He came in
with Mrs. Hansen in their auto,
bringing another woman with them.
They dispatched the hired man
with the two horses and the wagon,
for since the boss had to come to
town, they decided he would look
after some other business requiring
the use of the vehicle in this city.
He saw the vehicle properly located
and fastened near the Water Users
building, told the hired man all he
had to do was to remain nearby and
then went into the building. When
Mr. Hansen came out there was no
sign of man. animals or vehicle. He
searched the city and then went
back to the ranch in the auto but
found no trace of the outfit at all.
Not knowing what else to do, Mr..
Hansen then notified the sheriff's
office in an effort to find the miss
ing outfit. He has no idea that the
man made off with the rig

SENATOR WAY
PROTESTED BY
TWO COUNTIES
Supervisors Unite in Note
to Governor Asking Him
to Veto Senate Bill 119
Providing for Highway

That the board of supervisors is OPP
posed to the construction of a state
highway from Prescott to Phoenix via
Senator and the Silver mountains as
outlined in Senate bill number 119 was
made apparent yesterday when the
members unanimously passed a resolu
ton asking Governor Campbell to veto
tbs bill
1t is understood that the Yavapai
county board of supervisors has taken
the same action and based its objec-
ton on the grounds that MaricOpa
county saw fit to object to the bill.
The chief objections to using state
road funds by county apportionment
for the construction of the road is that
there are now two roads open from
Prescott to Phoenix The cost of the
road is another serious objection, the
board stating that the expense would
not be justified.
Following is the resolution:
On motion and by unanimous vote of
board, the following resolution was duly
passed and adopted:
WHEREAS: Senate Bill Number 49,
passed and adopted by the regular ses-
sion of the third legislature of the
State of Arizona, provides that
Whenever funds shall become avail

under the provisions of Title so. Chap
tiers {, s and 8, of the Revised Statutes
of Arizona, 1913, or amendments there
to, such funds shall be expended to
complete construction of the state high
way from Prescott via Senator and Sill
Yer mountains to Phoenix and
WHEREAS: this board believes that
the cost and expense involved in con-
structing the said state highway from
| Prescott to Phoenix, via Senator and
Silver mountains would be prohibitive
| and that the use and benefit derived
from the construction of the said road
would not justify the expense in con-
! structing the same,
/ NOW THEREFORE,, be it resolved
that the governor of the state of Ari-
iona, be and he is hereby requested to
veto said bill, and that a state high
way between Prescott and Phoenix be
selected surveyed and adopted by the
state engineer, acting in conjunction
with the county engineers and the
boards of supervisors of Yavapai and
| Maricopa counties.

Judge Kibbey pointed out that
there are three very inportart noi~+s
at stake in the matter, points al

TIE valley might be required to carry
out the original contract to pay in
the original period agreed upon rather
than in 30 years the users might not
have q change at management until
the project IS all paid for and the
power revenues might be withheld
until the last five years Of the period
and then applied on the principal.
Against these points, he showed that
with unimpeded management the
power revenues could be made to
apply at once thus helping on all
payments, while the government will
charge no interest on the principal
and the payments will never be in
excess of per cent These pay
ments he said will he at the start

The council had a remarkable full
representation there being % Of the
% men entitled TO vote, in attendance.
The council final vote was received
with great satisfaction by President
John Orme and Judge Kibbey.
1t is not anticipated that a vote
of the water users will be possible
before June. First. a contract to
take over the property will have to
be framed and approved by the gov
eminent and then this contract will
nave to be ratified by the water
users. The question they will direct
" vote upon will be the approval of
the contract or its disapproval.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Plaza

The Plaza theater is showing today
and tomorrow the fourth installment
of THE Perils of Our Girl Reporters, y
which is proving some serial picture.
The first installment appeared slow,
the second one picked up a bit, the
third was a hummer, and the fourth
comes today. This tells what the
White Trail is:
You may blindfold a smart man, but
he will find a way to know where you
are taking him. That is proved in
1.-THE White Trail" Number of 'The
Perils of Our Girl Reporters stories.
A canny Scotch physician fills his ov-
ercoat pocket with rice, and trails
handfuls of it out of the cab window
so he shall know where he has been
taken. He finds the rice trail leads
back to the house adjoining his own
and calls in the police to chop through
the party wall so he can rescue his
sweetheart. Can you beat that for
cunning?

Whatever of opposition there was

the Water Users association to the
plan of taking over the management
Of the project from the reclamation
service. was stilled after Judge Kib-
hey had finished his informal pre-
seEtatiOn of the case to the councli
Yesterday afternoon. II was not an
ticipated that there would be any
question with the board of governors
at the morning session, and in this
case exDectatfon ran true to form, for
the plan was unanimously approved
and with no opposition. However,
there had been rUmors of opposition
in the council and there was some
slight disposition to question the
wisdom of the move until Judge
Kiobey had presented the facts clear
lv. after which the council unanimous
" adopted the following resolutions:
Be It Resolved, That the board
of governors of the Salt River
Valley Water Users association,
the courciI concurrinq therein,
approve the principles of the
proposition of the secretary OF the
interior dated March 7, 1917. and
that in furtherance thereof the
legal advisor of the association
prepare a form of contract en-
hodying those principles, and sub
init the same to a subsequent
meeting of the board and the
council for their consideration.
Whatever of opposition there was,
was due to the belief on the part of
some that another appeal to con-
gress should be made in order to try
and have the claimed injudicious ex-
penditure IF money in building the
works allowed as rebate IN the
total cost Of the project. 1t will be
recalled that in the letter of Secre-
taIy Lane of the department of the
interior, published first in The Ari-
IONA Republican some time ago. the
secretary allowed $685., 40S So deducted
from the total cost as set forth in the
January statement, but not the lars

that congress might still allow a
larger reduction, but Judge Kibbey
assured the council that if. anyone
wanted to go to Washington he is
ready ard willing to bear his share
