this city since December, 1912, and dur ing this period of time has made many friends in the business and commercial circles of the city"
 That MT Phelps is much interested in this section is evidenced, not only by his coming, and by the fact that he brought considerable money for invest ment here, but by his comment on this section.
 T think that but few people really realize or see clearly the great possi- bilities of Phoenix and the Salt Rivel valley" said MT. Phelps yesterday. since the completion of the Roosevelt dam was finished" continued MT Phelps. ''is small compared to what may logically be expected in the next ten years. This valley has the water the climate, and there is no doubt ir my mind that this valley alone will eventually support a greater popula- ton than the whole state of Arizona does now.
 Considering the fact that people from the outside are as yet only be- ginning to realize the opportunities and advantages of this valley, and that within year, by the building of the new hotel, this city will be able to care for and entertain many thousands of tourists and investors per year, there is no doubt that in short time we will have a multitude of possible future citizens and investors visiting the val ley annually"

and who receive the full normal flow must also share in the payment of the advanced rate. For these the price of the first two ocre feet has been fixed at $2.95, a figure which is attained through an estimation of the interest charge on the cost of the distribution system.
 For the third, fourth and fifth acre feet the non- members of the associa- ton will pay the same rate as those who are members.
 Townsite areas and lands included in subdivisions and additions to towns cut up into small tracts for other than agricultural purposes will pay the same rate as heretofore, that is to say, S1.50 an acre or fraction thereof for the season. Tracts which include more than five acres will pay the same rate as members of the association; s2.95 for the first two acre feet, 80 cents for the third, $1 for the fourth, and S1.50 for the fifth.
 The board of governors also estab- lished a rule at yesterdays meeting to the effect that if a consumer uses more than five acre feet during a season, his water will be shut off and he must appear before the board to show that he has not unreasonably wasted water and that he needs more water than five acre feet If he can show that he needs more than five acre feet additional ser vice will be allowed him at the rate of S1.5O for each acre foot in excess of five.
 The board also voted to adopt the favorable report of the construction committee relative to cleaning and en- larging the lower end of the Arizona canal and extending the checks from lateral 12 to lateral IS so as to give freer passage for the Cave Creek floods when they come down
 The general superintendent has been authorized to have a survey made of this as soon as practicable with a view to diverting the Cave Creek waters into Skunk creek.
 Tbe board at it's meeting also re- scinded a previous order authorizing the expenditure of s3o,oo0 to build the two-mile Arizona cutoff. This cut off was planned to put the canal under ground at point where the Cave creek floods are likely to strike it's banks and break them. This work was delayed by water users opposed to this method, and as s15,000 has already been ex- pended in the purchase of a drag line excavator now in operation on the Eastern canal. the board of governors decided yesterday to buy a second ma chine of the same type in order that there will be one available for each side of the river.
 With these two machines in use on the main canals, it will be possible to clean. enlarge and dredge them with out turning off the water.
 No action on the cement plant propo- sition was taken by the council of the association, which was scheduled to meet yesterday, but which failed to do so because of the lack of a quorum The cement plant question will come up at the next meeting of the council on September 15.

 Three days were partly cloudy, equalled only once. in 1915. Two days were cloudy. much less than the nor nal figure.
 Rainfall was extremely heavy dur ing the mouth, due to the rain storm on Angus. 1, when 1.4S inches fell, and to the fairly heavy fall on the last day of tte month, when there was precipitation of .61 inch. Total rain for the month was 2.40 inches, sur- passed only cnce, in 1918, when 3.47 inches fell. August is usually a mon h with numerous light showers, but rain fell but five times this year during the month.

Substantial increase in the price per acre foot of water consumed in the Salt River valley was voted by the board of governors of the Water Users association yesterday at a meeting dur ing which other important measures were voted.
 The new rates will go into effect October 1, and will prevail during the irrigation year ending October l. 1920.
 The rise in rates represents an aver age advance of about 43 per cent, so distributed on a rising scale as to dis courage waste or excessive waste of water. The abolition of the half rate, formerly allowed when the river was in flood, is also announced.
 With the average consumption of water placed at three acre-feet for the irrigation year, the former flat rate o1 s1.20 for two acre feet or any fraction thereof has been advanced to s1.60 for the coming year. The present regula- ton provides that 75 cents shall be charged for the third, the fourth and the fifth acre foot consumed, but the new rate established yesterday in- creases this to 80 cents for the third acre foot, $1 for the fourth and s15t for the fifth
 The rate of rancher using five axre feet of water has been increased there fore, from S3.45 to $4.90.

 STATE ENGINEER

A great quantity of federal equip ment and material, including a fleet of trucks. number of big tractors, quantities cf T. N. T. and numerous other supplies and equipment, has been received by the state highway depart ment, but g great deal more has been asked for.
 Among the latest requests is a tele- gram in reply to a further allotmeIA for this district, asking for 50 dump wagons, three orange peel dredger buckets, t2 Teton caterpillar tractors three road rollers, 20 concrete mixers 10 elevator graders, five derricks, one pile driver, 25 steam and air drills, T. steam pumps five rock crushers, F road blows, four narrow gauge loco- motives and 50 dump cars, one steam shovel, four hoisting engines, five gasoline engines, two air compressors four centrifugal pumps and F dia- phram pumps
 The poi,cy of the state engineer, said Fritz Holmquist, office engineer yesterday. is to accumulate complete outfits for construction of roads on big scale, and to wait until the fed eral aid funds are available, before be- ginning the biggest jobs that are ahead of the department.
 Any other policy would dissipate the funds so that when federal money does become available there would be no funds io platch it. Then. by hav- ing the outfits complete, the construc- ton can l.e carried on more economs- cally, with the desired result of get ting more roads for the money"

enemies of health; leisure is one of the essential conditions. A very large pro- portion of the almost chronic state of i'll health which is the lot of so large number of poor people is di- rectly traceable to the absence of true leisure in their lives. It is of the very essence of leisure that one shall be and feel free to exercise just those faculties of the body or mind which call out for exercise. It is in this free dom and this chosen exercise that the pleasure giving quality of leisure lies; and herein is one of the great values of true education By all round and Justly proportioned development of the mind, body and emotions we are placed in position to use leisure wise ly and happily.

 And say you will not have long to wait if the line is no longer than it was the first day for few responded to the call for payments of the first installment of 1919 taxes.
 According to Vernon Wright, assist ant county treasurer, few persons availed themselves of the opportunity to pay taxes yesterday. Since the taxes do not become delinquent until the first Monday of November, they evidently do not believe in rushing to make the payment.
 Wright suggests that tax payers call and look over the assessment roll and learn the amount due the county on their property.
