Tgnt 'Adviser Christy of

Notice Eroni Washington
That Water Contract Is
Made Easier for Farmers
WATER USERS
MEET MONDAY
Revised Contract to Re
'onsidered ; M i n i nni m
Flow Per Acre Reduced
and Payments Are Made
Easier Than Threatened
To the Members of Council and
ihe Hoard of Governors of the
S:;lt River Valley Water Users
Association:
A joint meet in? of the hoard
of governors and th-e council of
the Salt River Valley Water
Users' Association will be hell
on Monday, Sept. 23rd at 10
o'clock, to consider the revised
form of contract for water ser
vice which has hevn received
from Washington.
The revised form provides, in
brief, for payment of ?1.1) on
October 1st for two acre feet of I
water: 40 cents for the next foot
and r.O cents for the next foot,
or $2. no for 4 acre feet. Sixty
tits an acre foot is to be
charged for each foot over four
feet. Please be present promptly.
.Embodted in the above call are
found all the features except one that
ame in the letter to Captain George!
D. Christy from the department of
the interior- The one additional bit
of news concerns the change in sec
tion five of the proposed water rental
ontrait. Although it does not indi
cate any of the changes,- the letter'
assures Captain Christy they will be
made. The printed forms for the
signing- of the new water agree
ments are being made in Washing
ton and will arrive at the office f
the water users association not later
than Monday, according to the ex
pectations of Secretary Van der Veer.
The minimum flow per acre has
been reduced from three to two feet.
The price has not been dropped in
proportion. At half a dollar a foot
and a rule for a minimum of three
acre feet a year, the farmer was re
cjuired to pay $l.r0 on the year's ser
vice on the first of each October. The
third acre foot costs 40c, making the
amount named as the minimum in
the former contract and the same
amount by the modified form identi
cally the same in price, $l.r0. But
the charge for four acre feet under
the changed contract is only $2.00
against $2.40 under the other form.
When asked his views on the mo
dified contract, Mr. Orine declined to
commit himself. ,-I won't say any
thing until I see the whole thing
next Monday," he said. He believes
the new form is a great improvement
over the first proposed, but has no
ideas as to its relation to the agree
ment in force heretofore. "While
the former charge for a year's ser
vice was $1.60, the farmer could
either the summer service at
or the winter's at a dollar,- which
posed no strict minimum and
much cheaper than the two
buy
60c
new
forms.
president orme and Joseph Cope

ert Donaldson, assistant suierinienu
cnt of navigation of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company and Henry Gal
lagher. United States customs in
spector, were inuicieu nere iiiik"-
by the federal gravid jury,
churging complicity in a smug
gling of opium conspiracy, in which
many others lire indicted- Warrants
were issued for their arrest and
they are being sought. The
indictments are bused upon the tes
timony of David powers and Emil
Fielder, employes of the Western
Fuel company, who were arrested at
Oakland in December last year with
several hundred tins of contraband
opium in their possession. Powers
and Fielder served four and six
months respectivley in the Alameda
county jail.
The supposed connection of Don
aldson and Gallagher with the smug
gling plot was first revealed through
the interception by government of
ficials of a letter given by Fielder,
while in jail, to a discharged pris
oner. The letter implicated both of
the men who were arrested today and
eventually reached Lieutenant of
Customs Joseph Head who had be
gun an investigation of what he be
lieved to be a local opium smuggling
conspiracy.
Powers testified before the grand
jury that he had been approached by
Donaldson in December with a propo
sition to assist in landing opium,
then concealed in the steamer Si
beria, which was then being loaded
with coal by a barge on which he
and Fielder were working.
He at first refused to consider the
matter, he said, but later decided to
take a chance and was taken aboard
the Siberia and met two Chinese
hovs who had secreted the opium.
Two nights later, said Powers, three
hundred and twenty tins of opium
were transferred from the Siberia to
the barge.
