On1OC VI WIG LILO % lCu AhGIOA
August Ii, 1909.
To the Board of Supervisors of
Yuma County, Arizona,
Gentlemen
In the matter Of the power of
the Board under our statutes to
pass an ordinance requiring all
obnoxious weeds to be eradicat-
ed in the valley, in accordance
with a suggestion that recently
appeared in the newspapers and
referred to the district attorneys
office, | would state that the only
power that the Board of Super
visOrs have in this territory is
that laid down in the statutes,
and there is no power by which
the Supervisors can pass an or
dinance that would have the
effect of law. All that they
can do is to enforce the law as
they find it.
Paragraph 535 Of the Penal
Code of Arizona reads as follows:
"All owners or operators OF
irrigating canals are required to
remove from the banks OF their
canals all cockleburs and sun
flowers growing thereon, and to
remove the same before they RI
pen or mature their seed, and all
irrigating canal owners or Oper-
ators who shall fail to remove
the same from the banks of their
canals or irrigating bitches shall
be deemed guilty Of a misde-
meAnor and shall be fined, upon
conviction, for tue first Otfense
the sum of ten dollars, and for
the second offense the sum OF
fifty dollars, and for the third
offense the sum Of one hundred
dollars and costs, and for all
subsequent offenses the sum Of
one hundred dollars and costs.
All such fines to be paid into the
Public School fund. ,
This is the only statute that
we have bearing upon the sub
iect of obnoxious weeds and only
refers to owners or operators OF
irrigating canals, and limits the
obnoxious weeds to the words
"cockleburs" and "sunffoWers. !"
The Board has no power to pass
an ordinance such as have the
Boards Of Supervisors of Cali
fornia.
Yours respectfully,
w. F. TIMMONS,
District Attorney.
By FRANK BAXTER,
Deputy.
By order of the Board of Su-
pervisors, at its regular session

Arizona Indian Wins Great Race

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 1.-THE
annual senior championship meet of
the Amateur Athletic Union, held at
the Yukon exposition stadium this
afternoon, brought to the front lit
tie Indian from Arizona, who defeat
ed the pick of the country's five mile
runners.
This five-mile race was the most
spectacular event of the day, and
Harry Mclean, an Indian boy from
the Phoenix Indian. school was pitted
against the pick of the country's run
ncrs. The fleetfooted red man who
was smaller than any of his cOmpeti-
tors, took the lead in the fourth lap
and set a grueling pace that soon
played havoc with the field
t. c. Bellars, of the New York Ath-
letic Club, proved his most dangerous
competitor, and soon succeeded in
taking the lead from the Indian. He
endeayored to slow down the pace,
however, but Mclean forced the is
sue and by firing his man out SO that
he could not stand the final squirt,
which began as the shot was fired for
the twentieth and last lap. Bellars
made a game effort against his In
dian opponent and with a brilliant
burst Of speed gathered a good lead.
He could not hold it, however, for Nc
Lean was on his heels at the half, and
as they entered the stretch, the ART
IONA runner developed a burst OF
speed that sent him across the line
several yards to the good. +. Johnson
of Seattle, who finished third, came
in lap and quarter behind the win
ner. Mclean. who had local rcpu-
tation was sent to Seattle by the
Phoenix Elks lodge.
The summary:

APPROACH OF DEATH PAINLESS.
II Comes az Naturally and Is .as Wei
come as Sleep.

The fear Of death. which has been
so enormously exploited In dramatic
literature. sacred and otherwise, is said
to be almost without existence in sick
ness. Most patients have lost it COM
pletely by the time they become seri-
ously i'll.
Death and slecp are both painless,
according to Dr.. Woods Hutchinson. in
the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap-
proach. 1t is one OF the most merciful
things in nature that the overwhelm-
ing majority OF the poisons which de-
stroy life, whether they are those Of in
fictitious diseases or these which are
elaborated from the body's own waste
products, act as narcotics and abolish
consciousness long before the end
comes. Okla. 80. - s..-.l.,s
While death is not in, any sense
analogous to sleep, IT resembles lit to
the extent that it is in the; vast ma
jority of instances not only not pain
full but welcome. g. Pain nacked and
fever scorched patients long for death
as the wearied toiler longs for sleep.
While many Of the processes which
lead to death are painful, death itself
is painless, natural, like the fading Of
flower or the falling of a leaf. Our
dear ones drift out on the ebbing tide
of life without fear, without pain,
without regret, save for those they
leave behind When death comes
close enough SO that we can see the
eyes behind the mask his face becomes
rs welcome as that Of his twin
brother" sleep. =.

LESSON LEARNED FROM ORIENT.
Western Nations Appreciate the Value
of Their Forests.

Scientific men speculate to the eff
rect that the boundless desert of Sa-
nara was once a garden supporting a
mighty population and doubtless the
seat of what was then human clviliza-
ton. There is authentic history for
1T that the region called Mesopotamia
was the granary of the east and the
center Of human endeavor when Cyrus
the Great was king, but it is now a
desert waste, and owls and bats in
habit the ruins Of Babylon because of
the denudation of the forests of that
once splendid country. Spain paid a
bigger price for the havoc she wrought
among the trees Of the valley of the
Guadalquivir than the Berber invasion
lad the Moorish dominion cost her.
The nations OF western Europe
England, France and Germany-ap.
pear to have learned the lesson and
protited by it, In those countries tim
Der culture is as much a regular crop
as potatoes in Michigan, corn in Iowa,
tobacco in Kentucky, or cotton in Mis-
sissippi, and in at least one of those
countries 1T is the law of the land
that for every tree felled another must
be planted, and no tree Is felled un-
til 1t has attained to it's zenith as a

wELL,eRED FRENCH BURGLARY
Proved Truth Of Boast That They
Knew Respect Duo to Years.


While the mistress OF the house had
gone out with her children three polite
burglars entered her villa at Triel,
France. Not wanting to put anyone
out, they had waited until the house
was empty. But on exploring the place
they unexpectedly found an old lady
In bed, the mother of the mistress of
the house, aged over so. She was
naturally alarmed, but the polite burg
lars treasured her. One, young mau,
the politest Of the three, said:
Madame, allow me to apologize. Have
no fear. We know the respect due TO
years, and would not think of hurting
hair of your head. All we want is
the booty. Allow me to keep you COM
pany while my friends look for it," The
amiable young man, true to his word,
sat down by the old lady's bedside and
chatted pleasantly to her while his
confederates piundered the house.
When their operations were over he
got up, bowed, apologized profusely
again, and retired. The rest of the
family returned to find all the val
.uablcs in the house gone.

Cold Storage Rats.

The attendant came out of the cold
storage room with an awed look.
Rats are wonderful" he said. I'VE
thought modern plumbing would abol-
ish them, but they live in the clean
light and dryness of the best modern
plumbing more comfortably than they
did in the damp and filth and darkness
of the past. We thought the modern
ship would abolish them, but the LUIS.
itania has as many rats as had the
Columbus caravels And here"
He made an awed gesture.
And here find rats in our cold
storage rooms at temperatures that
freeze the breath and cause it to fall
in the form Of snow. To and fro they
prowl, their coats are thick and warm
like fur, and with frost on their whis-
kers they feed heartily ON meat and
game frozen to rocklike hardness" q. .
