AT THE CELEBRATION or THEIR
INDEPENDENCE DAY THE
CLAMOR is LOUD.
Members Of the Congress Are in Ses-
sion Discussing the Peruvian
Boundary Dispute.

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Aug. 6.-1ndepen
dence day in Bolivia was celebrated
with unprecedented enthusiasm today,
and was marked by popular demon
STATIONS demanding the declaration of
war against Peru Members of the
Bolivian congress assembled in the
capital today to begin session, at
which the boundary dispute between
the two countries will be the principal
subject of discussion. President Mon
ties has condemned all demonstrations
and has urged the people to be calm
the territory award matter. War with
Peru. with Argentine involved is yet
a possibility. although the majority
of congressman declare themselves as
favoring an amicable settlement, if
that can be accomplished without ma
tional dishonor.
The war cloud now seriously threat
ening the peace of the South American
republics had it's rise in the bounda-
ries dispute between Bolivia and Peru.
Peru several years ago asserted its
ownership of a large section of land
claimed by Bolivia and held also that
much territory under the dominion OF
Brazil was rightfully its own. After
considerable argument the matter re-
Gently was submitted to President AL
corta. of Argentine. to be arbitrated,
and he submitted an arbitral award
dismissing Bolivia's claim to at least
a large part of the territory sought to
be held by that commonwealth as its
property.
The stand taken by President AL
corta, although antagonistic to Bolivia,
is said to have been based upon facts
elected after minute examination of
the evidence submitted by both the
governments of Peru and Bolivia.
President Monies of Bolivia received
the award with the greatest displeas-
ure. and while nominally counselling
his people to remain quiet. he is said
to have sent circular letters to the pre-
fects throughout Bolivia rejecting in
the strongest terms upon the Argen-
tine government and its attitude to-
ward Bolivia in the pending disputes
The Bolivian press particularly was
bitter in its attitude toward Argentina,

ENJON
PAVING

Injunction papers are this week be-
ing prepared by Attorney Everett j.
Smith who is to represent ]. II. Pedigo
in proceedings against the Rich &
Harris Construction company to pre-
vent the payment for the work on
North Second street, until such time
as the specifications have been COM
piled with. Practically every business
man OF the city who is interested in
any of the paving districts have been
inspecting the work done on North Sec
ond street during the past few days
and the suit to prevent payment VIII
probably be a bitter one.
Property owners object strongly to
the latitude which the Rich & Harris
company has apparently been granted
in the matter of laying concrete
base, and every interested property
owner will take personal interest in
the impending litigation. Mr. Pedigc
served notice upon the council Tues
day evening that he would protest the
work and take legal steps at the proper
time.

DR.. Mclean is now on an extended
vacation, in which he has visited in
California cities, attended the exposf-

THE ACCIDENTAL CAPTURE
 0F RAFAEL VELASCO
Something That Might Not Happen
 Again in . Thousand Years.

Rafael Velasco. who was arrested on the south side the other day for break ing jail at Nogales six years ago. was taken back to Nogales yesterday. His capture was accidental as the discov- cry of needle in a haystack. Nobody was looking for him. There had been two changes in the administration of the sheriffs office at Nogales since his escape and he had passed from official memory.
 It happened though that he was with Jose Maria Lopez. horse thief who was wanted in Yavapai county. and when inquiry was made at Mesa. where Lopez had been known to be. 1t was found that he had gone up into the hills accompanied by Valasco. A man was standing at the elbow of Marshal Peterson while telephone conversation was going on about Lopez. and when the stranger heard the name of Rafael Velasco mentioned he remembered that man of that name had broken jail at Nogales. He was tdken lntO CuStOuy WltH bopt1 and a telegram was sent to Nogales The officials. looking over the records, found that Velasco was jail breaker and he was ordered held.
 He was raised in the neighborhood of McDowell from boyhood. Most of his life was spent there and when he went away he was missed by none ex- cept his own people. When he re- turned after the absence of a year or two nobody knew that he had been absent and it was not known that he had been in any sort of trouble.
 He had been arrested in Santa Cruz county for participation in a cattle lifting enterprise. and he admitted his guilt at the preliminary examination. It was while he was waiting for the grand jury that he decamped. He de- nied to Deputy Adams that he had broken jail. He said that somebody left the jail door open one day and he walked out.

DEATH IN NOVA SCOTIA
 OF l WINTER RESIDENT
The Father of Mir. E. E. Jack of this
 County
li6, MI

Last Tuesday morning a telegram came to E. E. Jack. stating that his father. s. S. Jack. had died suddenly of heart failure in Halifax, Nova Sco- tia About a month ago MT. Jack left his home in Decatur, Illinois for a pleasure trip in northern Canada, visit ing Niagara Falls. Toronto. Quebec. Montreal and several other cities en route, Halifax. being the terminal point and he was just starting home when. without an hours Illness he was sud- denly stricken.
 While he counted himself a resident of Decatur, he has been a winter res ident of the Salt River valley for the past ten years. and interested in Ari- zona for twice that number of years, making his first visit to Arizona and Salt River Valley when the first at tempt was made to build the Wolfley dam at Gila Bend. He holds some property in the valley and has always been interested in it's development.
 He was a man of sterling worth and won the respect and admiration of all with whom he came in contact. Be- sides host of friends he has two sons in Arizona, Edgar E.. well known rancher of the valley. and Fran cis J., at one time a resident of Flag staff, but now in the employ of the A. & c. company at Bisbee.

TARANTULA TRADE
 GIVEN ENCOURAGEMENT
A Harmonious Movement lnstisated By
 Small Boy.

There is an understanding that F. A Jones, secretary of the commercial club. has secured an important con cession from the railroads. more fav- orable rate on tarantulas, in carload lots, between Phoenix and New York. This reform was undertaken at the in stance Of small boy, who found the local market unprofitable. He was ad- vised that if he could, as he said. find the insects in large numbers he might secure the cooperation of MT. Jones. who is easily induced to assume the regulation of all sublunary affairs. It was in this way that the new tarantula rate of thirty cents came to be put in. There was not hesitation on the part of the railroads, no need of threats by MT. Jones to prefer charges before the interstate commerce commission. The new rate is regarded on all sides as neither unjust nor unreasonable but it may be said to discriminatory against New York. where some ob- jection may be raised to the distribu tion of Arizona tarantulas in carload lots.
 An even more favorable rate might nave DttH II JOHtS ndu suggested train load lots in his de- mand.
 Another pleasing feature of the af- fair is that the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe are not competing for the tarantula traffic; each is willing that the other should have it's share of it and more. It is refreshing to find such harmony existing among the roads. the shippers and MT. Jones. It indicates the near approach of the millennium. The cause of the harmony which pre- vails between the railroads in. this mat ter may be found in the improbability that the tarantula traffic in car load lots would be nil for tarantulas are much more rare than the average ten derfoot thinks. There are not as many to the square mile in Arizona as there are black spiders to the square mile in the eastern states, and the tarantula moreover. less of pest than the spider and really not so poisonous.
 If MT. Jones had asked for l.. c. l.. rates on tarantulas he would not have found the railroads so complaisant
