OUTSTANDING STATE WAR
 RANTS NOW BEING PAID

PHOENIX, April 11.-All register ed state warrants outstanding were due to be paid Monday, it was an nCunced by George Earhardt, deputy state treasurer, on receipt of tele- gram from State Treasurer Raymond Earhart in Chicago that funds were available. While the warrants will be cashed whenever they are presented, interest on them will stop Monday.
 The announcement that outstanding registered WaTrants on all state funds ale to be paid at once will come as welcome news to hundreds of mer- chants and state employees who have been unable to cash warrants. For some time state employees have been unable to cash their salary warrants, while merchants in various parts of T, state who had accepted them, also were unable to cash them.
 approximately S1,500,000 in reg isteled state warrants were outstand- ing. Of this amount, however, the s1ate treasurer's office is carrying 575O,000 left by the previous admins t,'ation. Most of the warrants were outstanding since the first of the year, the greater part since February l, be- cause there have been no state funds with which to cash them. They carry interest at } per cent.
 Payment on the warrants comes as tl:e result of the issuance by the state of tax-anticipating bonds to the amount of S1,5O0,0OO, authorized by the last legislature. A contract fol the sale of the bonds was signed some time ago, and last Wednesday State Treasurer Earhart left for Chicago with the bonds. He arrived Saturday and signed and delivered the bonds.
 According to MT. Earhart's wire S1 ,5OO,OCO, the proceeds of the bond issue, were deposited to the states credit in Chicago. By drawing on this deposit through local banks, the state was able to obtain funds at once to take up it's warrants.

 board, And gave the fiivver a crank. Away again the good car flew, But her actions seemed SC
 queer; More unruly each minute she
 grew, Till his heart was filled with
 fear. Straight to the river front it
 went, A staggering, capering gait. The windshield gone, the axle
 bent, In drunken, hilarious state. She hic-coughed some, gave a
 cough, Her wheels seemed kind of
 dizzy. She gave a snort, her hood flew
 off Poor, drunken little Lizzie. Over the dock she took leap, In waters deep she sunk. As over that bootlegger fishes
 creep He knew that car was junk. Then he felt an awful chill; Thought he: "This must be

THE BOOTLEGGER'S DREAM

A bootlegger sat by his warm
 fireside,
 And thought OCT the deeds he
 had done; Of many a flying midnight ride, Of many case he had run. The fire was hot, the room was
 warm,
 He had lost many hours of
 sleep; A liberal swig of John, Barley
 corn
 Soon put him in slumber deep. Again he was out on the river
 road,
 His fiivver loaded down; Spirits were high in man and
 load,
 As he headed his car toward
 town. Then a big car, with blinking
 light,
 Completely blocked the way: There was the law with all it's
 might, His onward course to stay. A little more juice and a flying
 leap,
 And over that car he flew; As he passed above he had a
 peep
 At the law in it's colors true. He jumped wall, he climbed a
 tree,
 He rode on an old hedge fence; Now all these funny stunts did
 he
 In the spirit of self-defense. The worst comes when a man is <. chased, And for freedom makes
 dash! Unforeseens must ever be faced, When you angle for easy cash. He heard the roar of the law, As it followed in his wake; Very soon it's gripping jaw Would his load and freedom !
 take. The gasoline just then played
 out, The fiivver came to stop. He shook the tank, without a
 doubt, It was dry of every drop. He grabbed a jug, and quickly

ORIGIN OF THE TERMS
 MAVERICK" AND "DOGIE'

Col. George w. Saunders, president of the Old Trail Drivers Association of Texas, gives the following informa- tion with reference to the origin of the terms maverick" and "dogie."
 "The Maverick family, early set tiers of San Antonio, moved large herd of cattle to this section between 1850 and 1860. During the war the cattle had no attention and scattered all over south Texas. Some of them several years. old were not branded. Most of the stockmen branded their cattle, and as Maverick did not and the range got full of these big, un- branded Maverick cattle, people re- ferred to them as Mavericks Thus the term maverick was soon applied to big, unbranded calves and yearlings all over the state
 "A very good explanation of the term 'dogie' was given when Boston lady asked a cowboy what a dogie meant. His reply was: Tt.is a poor little calf that it's nanny has died and it's daddy has run off with another cow.'"

FATHER OF RECLAMATION
 ACT, B. 4. FOWLER, DEAD

Benjamin Austin Fowler, father Of the reclamation act and organizer and director of the Salt River Valley Wat CT Users assocation, died at his home in Long Beach, Calif., Monday. Death followed a lingering illness incident to his advanced age. He was 77 years old Dec. 4, last. The wife, Mrs. Ella Frances Fowler, survives.
 News of his death, though not wholly unexpected, came as a distinct shock to ATizonans, for Mr. Fowler was held in high esteem by all. De- velOpment of the, agricultural re- sources of the valley are attributed argely to his efforts.
 He came to Phoenix in 1899 and at once interested himself in a move n-ent to secure national aid for recla- nation of arid lands. Throughout his residence in the valley he worked un- tiTirgly in this direction. Broken health, induced largely by strenuous labors in behalf of the valley, caused his removal to Los Angeles about seven years ago. Since then he has resided in or near the California me tropolis.
 Several months ago, Mir. Fowler suffered a breakdown. He rallied oTavely, notwithstanding his advanc- ed age, but later suffered a relapse and since that time his condition gradually grew worse.

How Fish Eat.

When codfish eats it takes an oy- ster in its mouth. cracks the she'll de 3ests the meat, and ejects the shell. Crabs crack the shells of their smaller aeisllbors and suck out their meat This accounts for the mounds of shells which are found beneath the waves. And as further Illustrating the con stant destruction going on in the oceans depth, it is said that if a ship sinks at sea it will be eaten by the fish with the exception of its metal portions.
