CELESTIAL ORDERED
 DEPORTED
Linn Lung Had Tried at For mer Time to Get Into
 United States

Linn Lung, a Chinese laborer, who has worked at Wheatfelds for some time, was yesterday ordered deported, af- ter a hearing before Norman J. John son, United States court commissioner.
 Lim's defense to the charge that he was unlawfully within the country was that he was born in California and had right to live in the United States. He was unable to produce credentials and on the contrary, Inspector M. II. Jones of Naco showed that he had been refused admittance, some time ago.
 A photograph of Linn, taken at Naco when he attempted to enter the country by a roundabout way, was produced and as the Celestial was unable to eOntro. vert this evidence, he was ordered seut back to China.
 Leon Kit, another Chinese held on the same charge, proved that he was born in California and was discharged
 Linn will probably be taken to the coast at once by Inspector Jones aud shipped back to China.

Helping Uncle Sam

There is something almost pathetic in the sincere attempt made by negro organization at Birmingham, Ala, to assist the government in building the Panama canal-an enterprise which the members believe would rebound to their benefit. Unlike many more imposing or ganizatiOns, this little body of men did not content itself with passing high sounding resolutions, but 1t made a cash subscription, which it forwarded to Washington for the cause. The organi- zation is called ''The People $ National Progressive Consolidated Club, under Charter of the State of Alabama" and its motto is: "Together we sand, di- vided we fall, together" It also prints some biblical references on it's letter heads. The club remitted to the treas ury department $25, which was the sec ond installment of similar sum, for the support of the government in the construction of the Panama canal, for commerce, trade, etc, hoping the result will prove favorable to this club in the State of Alabama.

COLCORD COMES IN

Payson Cattle Pairing Bet ter Than in Other
 Sections

Although cattle are in poor condition on the lower Tonto and are dying in large numbers, through lack of forage stock in the PaysOn district is in fairly good condition, according to Supervi. sor w. C. Colcord, who arrived here from Payson yesterday.
 "While we need rain in the Payson district, conditions are not as bad there as they are above Roosevelt, '' said Mir. Colcord yesterday Grew cat. tie are dying on the ranges around Pay. son and while thery are not in as good condition as could be desired, they should be able to stand the balance of the dry season.
 "On lower Tonto, however, this sea son has been disastrous one for the cattlemen and their losses will be very heavy, unless we have rain within q very short time.
 Conditions in the Payson district arc good, although rather quiet, according to Mr. Colcord. He is in Globe to at tend tOday's session of the board of supervisors and will probably leave fol Payson tomorrow, with the intention oi stopping one day at Roosevelt on bus ness.
