AcoNvIcTED OF DISTRIBUTING

ltQUOR.-The trial of Ysabel Ramirez
charged with selling liquor to Indians,
was. concluded in the L. :. court yes
terday morning and the defendant was
convicted. He was defended by Ben
nett f. Marks, by appointment. Mr..
Marks, in the course of his argument
tn the jury. denounced the course of
the government officials who, in this
case had given the Indian money with
which IL buy the liquor. The act he
declared to be a conspiracy to tempt
his client To commit a crime against
the laws of the United States. Anoth-
er case was that of Guadalupe Aria,
similarly charged. He was defended
by Judge Edward Goodwin of Tempe.
He brought out the fact that the In
dian who had bought the liquor of the
defendant had previously bought liquor
of another person who however sup
posed him tn be Il Mexican. The at
torney dwelt upon the hardships to
which purveyors of liquor were submit
ted by the fact that il WAS impossible
To tell whether the Indian was under
the care of an Indian agent While
the Pimas are. the Papagocs and the
Yaquis are not. There is no way of
knowing from the appearance of the
Indians. to which tribe they belong.

THE AlHMABRA SALOON L.
CENSE.-The Alhambra saloon license
question is still open 50 far as the
residents of that community are con-
cerned. though it is understood that
the supervisors have made up their
minds that they are ready to promul-
gate a decision at the first opportunity.
But the fight in the neighborhood
over the matter is still in prograss.
Yesterday there was received at the
office Of the board communication,
not exactly in the nature of "a petition,
but rather a non-protest against the
issuing Of the license. The signers say
that they have no objection to the is-
suance Of d license to responsible
party who will conduct an orderly sa-
loon. There are fifty signers of the
petition of whom twelve are women. \
half dozen of them are the wives of
men who signed it, but the others are
single or otherwise unconnected. An
other resident Of the community, who
was shown the document. said that he
could get a much longer list of names
to a protest against the issuance of
the license.

NEW CANAL opERA1ioNs.- z

NEW CANAL OPERATIONS The
latter part OF this week. or the first of
next week, a force of men Will be put
to work by the reclamation officials
cutting the brush along the Grand
canal, beginning at point mile
east of the Indian school and working
down the canal. When they get d
sufficient distance ahead, another force
of men will be started on the work
of widening the ditch, an undertaking
that means great deal in lettering
the canal, az well as charging its ca
pacity. 1t will be enlarged to a width
of 81 feet on the bottom and will be
about a feet from bank to bank, max
ing a pretty good sized river. As the
work proceeds down the canal, the di-
mansions will gradually be lessened in
proportion to the amount of water the
ditch will be expected to carry at Il
given point. Later. the canal will be
widened up the stream. from the point
of beginning, one mile east of the
Indian school.
BETTER THAN A GOLD MINE
Reports are now being received from
Buckeye and Arlington in reference to
the second tro2 of alfalfa seed. The
yield il from $50 to 300 pounds per
acre, J. K. Gibson's going a little more
than goo pounds. His first crop was
525 pounds. The seed was sold for
1G12 cents per pound. He has the
straw left, which he can feed to cattle
in the winter together with several
months pasture. 1t can easily be seen
from this that the gross receipts from
an acre Of this land Will approximate
$40.

THE BANKS HAVE THE MONEY.

Where is the money! Strange
we are told how money hides away.
We are further told that the people
on account of lack of confidence
in the banks have withdrawn their
money and now have it hid away
in any old place, and this accounts
for its scarcity. This is absolutely
absured, as well as absolutely un-
true. Since the scare the people
generally have been unable to get
their money out of the banks, no
matter how much they had in them.
Bet the banks have been getting
the peoples money just the same.
They have been calling in loans,
refusing to discount paper, refus-
ing often in some localities to paw
money on checks on themselves.
when the money stood to the de-
positor's credit. Every bank
which could do SO has been increas-
ing its cash reserve until all the
money of the country is now in the
bank vaults. Why should the
people have confidence when the
banks have none. The banks have
lost confidence in each other and
the railroad companies have lost
confidence in the banks, the banks
in them ard so on through the list.
l. rFA thing has lost confidence in
eN' ~ other thing, until nobody
Will trust anybody else.
The railroads of this town, we are

money io them at Richmond and
Elsewhere, and will not so much

Who Invented soap? That IL is not n

just when it c:inr into general use is
n mystery
In Biblical times cleansing agents
were used. Tie ..TsoSs OF Job and Jer-
emiah contain the word soap" But
this is merely convenient use OF the
word in translation The Hebrew word
''borith." for which It was substituted.
Is general term for cleansing sub
stances What those substances were
is unknown. but they were probably
little like the modern soap.
Pliny speaks OF the invention OF SOAP
by the Gauis. who. however. used IL
only rs sort OF pomade or hair dress
ing. He also refers 10 the use or both
hard soap and soft soap by the Ger
mans. The use of fuller's earth. which
has saponaceous qualities. for cleans
ing purposes was known to the Ro-
mans.
The French word for soap, savon,
comes from Savonn. France. where 1t
was manufactured. The first manu-
facture OF soap In London is said to
have been In 1924. and previously BrIs-
toll had supplied 1t for use In the Eng
lish cities.
According TO the historian Sismondi,

Pliny, who wrote OF the eruption OF

man cities in 40 A. D.. stated that soap
was made from tallow and ashes and
that the German soap was the best.
Galen also referred TO the use OF soap.
