BOUSE, Ariz, Jan. 3--A massmeeting of the citizens of Bouse and vicinity was held at the Burke hotel ar Bouse. Monday evening, Dec. 27 to discuss the securing of water for irrigation for the
 Lotus valley. C. H. Putnam. manager Of the Arizona Butler mine. acted as chairman of the meeting and Judge John Bellus was secretary. A number of speeches were made and the aues-
 ton Of securing water right on the
 Williams river for a storage reservoir
 was thoroughly gone into. A commit
 tee was appointed to draft resolutions
 endorsing the project of the Lotus Val
 ley Water Users association.
 Since the first talk of irrigation in
 the valley last July, approximately 75, .
 900 acres of government lands have been taken up which could be brought under irrigation by such a dam as that contemplated in the recent filing of the association in the office of the state water commissioner.
 Those present at the meeting were much interested in the report of the l assurance, given to the Lotus Valley | association by George H. Maxwell. ex- ecutlVe director of the National Recla- nation association, at a meeting in Phoenix the previous week, of co-oper- atlon in securing the waters of the 1 Williams river for Arizona lands.

EVANGELIST ENDS
 REVIVAL MEETINGS

The Rev. s. E. Shaw. publisher author. evangelist of Grand Rapids, Mich, last night brought to close successful campaign of revival meetings at the Free Methodist church, and will leave in day or two for Pasadena.
 His labors in this city have, to great extent. been directed toward en- coura ging coordinated evangehstic ef- fort bv the various religious bodies. MT. Shaw's efforts have not been in vain as a union meeting was held at the Nazarene church Sunday after noon in which seven or eight different religious movements participated. His passionate and touching plea on this and other occasions reveals the great burden of his soul for a higher stan dard of spirituality, and greater spir- itual power in the lives of Christians. It is evident that Mir. Shaw has special gift in bringing about better understanding between religious bodies. He comes out clearly and definitely against religious bigotry and traditfoualism. and his messages have been well received by all fair minded people who have heard him.
 He has, in the past, been instru mental in inaltVuraung conversations of prayer, and these have been a great means of bringing about a better un- derstanding and better working methods among Christian people. It is expected that lasting results will be seen in this city from his labors.
