BANK IS OPENED
 TOWN OF PARKER
City Along the Colorado River is Rapidly Coming to The Front In
 Business Way.

That Parker, Yuma county, Ari zona, is going to make one of tn, great commercial eenters of Arizona seems to be a fact that is becoming well known to even the bankers ot Los Angeles.
 The first bank has been incorporat ed to be known as the Parker Bank and Trust company, capitalized for s1OO,0OO; the ineorporators are W. H. Holiday, president Merchants Nation al bank, Los Angeles; T. NJ. Dren- nan, president Colorado River Supply company, Parker, Ariz.; G. c. Dunne, former cashier of the Eldorado Ma tiOnal bank, Eldorado, Kan, recently with the Security bank of Los An geles; Carl F. Sehrader, well known mining and real estate operator of Los Angeles; B. L. Vaughn, real es- tate operator of Needles, Cal, Parker and Colorado river district.
 These gentlemen are not only the ineOrporatOrs but the first officers and directors of Parker's first bank. Parker is in the center of the great agricultural valley now known as the Parker Indian reservation, containing a total of 2SO,OO0 acres of as fine agricultural land as there is unset tied in the entire west. The United States government has had it sur veyed, plated and will be opened fr selection anu purchase within the next 60 days, the finest townsite that was ever let out in Arizona containing a total area of 900 acres commencing at the Santa Fe S1,O00,OOO bridge and running west about two miles and lying along the banks of the beauti- ful Colorado river about two miles. settling at an elevation above the river of from 30 to 90 feet, having full view of the winding course of this river for a distance of at least 20 miles.
 This is the new townsite location anu the town lots will be opened for purchase by the public. Up to the present time the only title that. can be had is a lease from the Indian agent and already some fine substan- tiaI buildings have been constructed; two large general merchandise estab- lishments carrying $5O,OOO to $IOO,GOO worth of goods each, are doing a good business.

 The Shuh boy was not so fortunate, an examination later showing that he sustained a fracture of the right leg just above the ankle joint. It will be several weeks before he is able to walk He is a boy of but fifteen years and in former contests has won distinction as a capable horseman. He entered this relay race against the wishes of friends, but persisted in go- ing into it.
 Had it not been that Ellis met with this accident it is the opinion of his friends who were watching closely the outcome, that he would have secured second money easily.
 At the word Ego" in this exciting test of horsemanship and skill, Wal ter Cline was first in the saddle, first to reach the first lap and make the change of saddles and horses, and the first to come under the wire at the outcome. He secured the first prize of sIOU. Jack Glenn was declared winner of the second money, receiving $75. Other participants in the relay race were Thomas Koontz, of William son valley; Harry Henderson, of Wal ker; Van Dickson of Skull valley, and Dave Berry, of Lynx Creek.

 He says that his lease applies to the Quartz Reef claim on the Zero sys- tenn, and that since the original dis eovery that was made in the tunnel he is driving to the south. ne has continued this work under the most favorable conditions and now is pro nOuneed in saying that he has un- occasionally developed one of the best paying propositions in that sec tiOn.
 He has reached a point in about 175 feet, and has penetrated the noun tain to a depth of about 75 feet, in the face of which he has cut into an ore body that will run to over 300 ounces per ton. He has sacked the ore and one assortment of ruby silver that was assorted carries over S20 per sack. The Quartz Reef claim fleS about 800 feet from the original Zero and is a parallel vein to he Zero proper.

WET WEATHER CAUSES
 CHANGE IN PROGRAM

On account of the generally un- favorable weather conditions that had prevailed for the preceding two days, a meeting of the executive committee was called on Sunday night at the sheriff's office.
 A general discussion ensued and it was decided to call off all events that would be interfered with by mud dy streets, and hold a second eele- bratiOn next week for three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, dur ing the annual encampment of the national guard. Accordingly the base ball tournament, the Marathon races, hose races, the juvenile sports and the automobile races were postponed, and it was ordered that the expenses of the visiting baseball teams and the foot racers be paid.
 A. E. Taylor, representing the San ta Fe, agreed to give excursion rates for the second celebration, and to assist in advertising the event.
 All the other efatures of the pro- gram, such as the oratiOn, the cow boy sports, the Labor day wedding, DrOnehO busting, tug-of-war, Darktown brigade, carnival and the Labor day Dall were ordered to take place, and dodgers ordered printed to inform the public as to the enforced changes in he program.
 Another meeting will be held this evening to arrange for the second and an effort will be made to repeat the tug-of-war contest IS an added feature of the entertain nent.

 lots at the appraised price.
 In the near future, in fact, it i.
 understood, within six months the
 government will open the first 10000 acres of this land by putting in a pumping plant at a point four miles above Parker, known as Headgate Point. As soon as the government cleans up the present work around Laguna dam, which is just above Yuma, and the Roosevelt dam which is in the TOnto basin, they will have on hand all of the necessary ma ehinery for power, pumping, etc, to install this plant, and it will only require small appropriation of $1OO,- 900 to $15O,OOO by the reclamation service to install this first Parker plant.
 The Indians now occupying the Par ker Indian reservation will be allotted small tracts of land, five to ten acres each, which will only take a total area of about 1000 acres then the balance of this great valley of ESQ., GOO acres will be sub-divided into 40 acre farms by the reclamation service of the government and it will be but a few years until each and every 40 acres will have a home and a famlly which will mean a farming population of not less than 3O,00O to 10000 people in this valley and Par ker, which has in addition to this great agricultural proposition the great mining district on the Arizona side of the river, will easily become a city of 20,O0O people and in fact within ten years it is very liable to be the largest city in the entire territory of Arizona.

 Preceding this event, picked team was pitted against the Pres eotts, but after five seconds of a pull the latter won.
 Analyzing the personal make up of the Prescott and Jerome teams so far as weight is to be figured. Pres eott tipped the scale at 1l13 pounds, while the Jerome men went to the ll6S mark, showing the latter to ex- ceed the former by D pounds. The The vacations of each were at wide range likewise, the men from Jerome being accustomed to the hardest course of physical effort, while half of the Prescott team were following various lines of work that in several instances called for ordinary strength of muscle.
 The following was the personnel of the teams that engaged:
 Jerome, with Charley King as coach: M. Skokrieh, Joe Gurazak. John Min erich, George Drakulieh, William Du- gan. Mike Radakavich. Combined weight, 1l6S pounds.

BUCKING CONTEST WAS
 WON BY LOBE MORRIS

Every available seat in the grand
 stand at the baseball park was taken
 and in addition over 1,5OO people were
 present when the broncho riding end
 of the cowboy program was annOune-
 ed by Deputy Sheriff Joe Cook of the committee having that in charge. The contest was decidedly interesting, some of the most skilled horsemen in the territory entering and each having their pickeu mustangs to subdue.
 Lobe Morris, a young "buster, !" who is less than 24 years of age, was declared the winner by Judges Munds, Ritter and Ruffner, while second money went to Fred Moore, the first receiving $75 and the latter $50. Nor ris is unquestiOnably one of the most daring and expert hOrsemen ever seen in this section, and rides with that careless concern that wins for him the admiration of all. He never lost his equilibrium for an instant while his horse was pitching and plunging, and to make the test all the more thrilling he had a most vicious ami maj to handle, in fact the worst |" bucker' ever seen in this city on similar occasions of broneho busting.
 Fred Moore also is an expert rider, but was handicapped in his horse, the animal not yielding to the quirt or the spurs as well as that of Morris. Moore was pronounced by cowmen present as the cleanest rider ever seen here, adopting none of the common practices to retain his seat, and giv- ing his horse freedom at every jump | and without the rider endeavoring to I retain his hold in the saddle through | any assistance whatever. With Nor ris and Moore fine team would be given and there is no doubt but what either would triumph in any section.
 After the conclusion of the event, he horse that threw Roland Nichols o the ground was saddled and Morris lgain showed his skill as a horseman ,y riding him until he was subdued. Then to wind up the event of the lay Joe Cook fell in behind Morris n the saddle and away went the iOrse with the two riders, conquered nd without any resistance whatever eft in him.
 This was the humorous finale of he day, and the crowds cheered wild , y this demonstration.

man endurance as to who the victors would be.
 Shortly after the block was released from its hold by Tom Taylor, it seem ed that the Prescott team was to be the victor, but the tremendous strength and the tenacity of the miner as against the all round man of labor in various lines of employ ment, soon gave the faint warning and he would not submit and after the first 9 minutes of the combat, it was realized that the team from over the hill would wear out their adversaries sooner or later. It took just 51 long minutes for the victors to claim the 15-inch pull, and after it terminated both teams were nearly exhausted.
 In the last ten minutes of this fierce onslaught of man against man, the rope began to crawl steadily to- ward the Jerome goal, and with last herculean effort the little purple thread was carried to the line that gave the winning touch.
