ficials OF the Interior department have
been unnecessarily concerned in The ex-
pedition OF what are known as the Gun
ningham claims TO valuable coal lands in
Alaska, and in doing so acted entirely in
dependent Of the geneTaI officers OF the
department
The officials are much incensed over the
report, but they take the position that as
they are preparing a report for the presl-
dent their lips are sealed against any out
side discussion Of the subject. This was the
attitude assumed by Commissioner Den

an inspection tour through the west, and
Acting Secretary Pierce coincided with

Real Meaning of
Seizures Of
BIeached Flour
Made for Test Case as Agreed Upon
Between the MiIlers and Depart

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s.-tsPeoial Teie-
gram. )-There is a measure Of misinforma-
tion about the seizures Of bleached flour
which the newspaper press has featured In
the last few days There was an under
standing between the attorney for the mill
ers OF Nebraska and Iowa and representa-
tives Of the Department Of Justice that
flour should be seized In transit in one or
both Of the states named for the purpose
Of testing the ruling Of the Agricultural
department as to the deleterious effects
upon bleaching Of winter wheat flour SO
far as can be ascertained the seizures Of
csrgoes Of flour in transit is but carrying
out an agreed upon proposition between
the millers and the Department Of jus
tice in order that a case may be made.
There is no reason for mysteries on the
proposition as presented In this case.
The millers Of Nebraska and Iowa do
not q with the order Of Secretary
WilsOt sued through the bureau Of chem
istryA They believe that the bleaching
process does not detract from the nutritive
qualities Of the flour and in order to try
this case out properly the attorneys for
the millers in Nebraska and Iowa submit.
ted to the Department Of Justice a briei
and asked for a friendly suit in which the
issues might be completely joined tn,
seizures Of -four recently reported Is be-
lieved here to be an evidence OF good faith
that the courts shall dcide the question
whether bleaching by electrical or Other
process is deleterious.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z.-western banks

overflowing with money. They can get
along with little aid from eastern banks.

turned from Beverly. where he had con-

The banks OF the south are included by
Mr.. Norton when he described those OF
the country generally as being in excel
lent condition.
Officials of the office Of comptroller OF
the currency hold that no better evidences
OF the prosperous condition OF the country
can be found than the banks. They point
out that not for two months has there
been q failure Of a national bank. The
failure Of one then was due TO embez-
element Of officials. II was a small in
stitution in Michigan. No fear of hard
times seems to assau the banks. as was

RATE CASE TO Be APPEALED

Not Regard Decision as Final.

WASHINGTON, Aug. B.-It is regarded
as certain that the Interstate Commerce
commission viii take an appeal to the
United States supreme court from the de-
cision Of the United States circuit at Chi
cago in the Missouri rate case.
Judge Clements is the only member of
the commission now In Washington and
no opportunity has been afforded the COM
mission since the decision was handed
down TO confer about the case. Attorneys
of the commission who had charge OF the
preparation Of the case have not received
yet the opinion Of the court and until
that has been examined carefully no de-
termination as 10 the course Of proceedure
will be outlined
Judging from the press reports Of the
opinion which was written by Judge Gross
cup. the court in the judgment Of the
commissions lawyers. failed to apprehend
fully the principles of Jaw on which was
based the commissions order in the case
II is the unanimous opinion OF the attor-
neys that the supreme court will reverse
the decision Of the circuit court. It is
pointed out that il manifestly would be
impossible for the commission in the fixing
Of a reasonable rate between two given
points widely separated. to take into con
sideration every one Of the thousands OF
rates that might be affected al inter

THE INITIAL OPENING
 OF THE POPULAR STORE
An introduction to Two Gentlemen Added to Mesa's Business Life.

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen the announcement of "The Popular. " a store which is one of the recent and valuable additions to the merchant | dising interests of Mesa. The pro- prietors, Messrs. T. NJ. Bates and c. H. Shapley, have experienced no little difficulty in getting their goods here in time for their initial opening which they very much desired should come off before Easter. yet they have suc- ceeded. and have every reason to be proud of the neat appearing stock and uptodate fixtures that will be ready for the inspection of the public on Friday and Saturday of this week.
 In order to become better acquaint- ed with the two gentlemen who have cast their lot with Mesa's future. a formal introduction is not out of place Mir. Bates has had fifteen years experience in the dry goods and furnishing business. During that time he has been connected with Wm. l.. Foley's of Houston, Tex. firm which is known generally over the south west. However, Mir. Bates has been a resident of Arizona and New Mexico for the past eleven years and six months ago he disposed of a prosper ous general merchandise business in New Mexico. principally because he wished to become more closely Iden- tified with the drygoods and furnish ing business. It has been his prac- tice to annually and semi-annually make a trip to the eastern markets for the purpose of getting in closer touch with the latest SfyIas and g.-t
 ting ideas, for he is a man who Jea- lizes that he must be progressive in order to succeed. MT. Shapley has been in the general dry-goods busi- ness an equal number of years. but his experience has been more closely allied with the largest manufacturing and wholesaling establishments of the east. He was connected with the
Arizona republican., 1909-04-06

John Wanamaller establishment for a term of six, years, where he interested himself in the shoe business until now he brides himself OF being a shoe sit- ter. In this connection it might be added that Madame Whitney, late of California, has accepted a position with this firm and will be in charge of the altering and fitting department. A room is being furnished for this department.
 Messrs. Bates and Shapley are young men of new and progressive ideas and they should command a share of the business in the general dry goods and general furnishing lines.

DITCH DIGGING MACHINE
 HAS ARRIVED FOR WORK
Six Miles of Water Pipe Trenches to
 Be Cut.

C. NJ. Scott, the contractor in charge of the constructing of the Mesa City waterworks, has received the ditch digging machine and will com mence the unloading of this impor- tant piece of machinery today. This move on the part of the construction company shortens the time for the completion of the waterworks by sev- eral weeks over the hand labor meth ods. The machine digs the ditch to depth of five feet where it is required and is capable of getting over a thousand feet of ground a day. The machinery resembles traction en- zine somewhat.
 There is approximately six miles of ditches to be dug in Mesa before the system is completed, and the machine is next to a necessity. The contrac- tor estimates that the work of ditch digging can be done in thirty or thir- ty-five days.

MouNTA1NEER,s SAVINGS
Mostly in Gold, and Some Oh 1t Had
Been Buried for Fifty Years.

Mostly in Gold, and Some Oh 1t Had
Been Buried for Fifty Years.
The First National Bank of Logan,
w. Va. has received a deposit to-day
which has an interesting story behind
1t, the Roanoke correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun says. The amount is
5000. of which $4,000 is in gold coin,
some of which is fifty years old. Twen-
ty dollars is In silver and there are
fifty $40 bills. The money had been
accumulated by Milton Mullens and
represents the savings OF a lifetime.
Mullens began boarding his savings
when a young man. This was before
the civil war. All his surplus he con-
verted into gold which he buried in
the yard. A few years ago, when gold
coin was scarce and almost out of cir
culation, Mullens began to exchange
his smaller money for $40 bills.
These were hidden in a safe place in
his barn. 1t wes believed for many
years that he was boarding his money
and on numerous occasions marauders
have endeavored to force him to re-
veal Its hiding place, but without sue
cess.
A few days ago his wife died and
believing that he would not live long
he called his grandson, ]. M. Perry,
and told him where to search for the
treasure. The young man, after dig
ging for some time, found the treas
ure, and this snug little fortune went
into the bank to the credit OF the now
eyed and infirm mountaineer.
