FIREMAN DASHED ID DEATH NEAR
 ASH FORK
Thrown From His Engine While in Discharge
 Of Duty
REMAINS or E. E. SMITH TO BE SHIPPED TO FORMER
 HOME
(From Tuesday's Daily)

Sunday afternoon near Ash Fork, on the main line of the Santa Fc railrond, the sad and shocking death of F. F. Smith, n locomotive fireman, occurred, in manner that is not definitely known. He was last seen alive on the running board of the locomotive, and informed his engineer that something was working wrong with the machinery and that he would find out what was the matter. He left the cab immediately and in n few seconds thereafter, his lifelcss body was found on the grade, his head showing the effects of the ter. rible impact of what was said 10 be one of the driving wheels. IL is the supposition that he lost his footing while he stopped over to investigate the portion of the engine and while so engaged lost his balance. falling to the ground and being thrown to. ward one of the driving wheels. His death was instantaneous, and the only wounds were on his head. The body was taken to Ash Fork, but . short distance away, and brought to this city yesterday morning by Lester Ruffner to be prepared for shipment to his old home at Cumberland, Md, where his father, mother and two brothers are living He was about 20 years old and his death is re. gretted by many friends along the line. He was member of the order Of locomotive engineers and fircmcn, and his funeral will be held under the auspices of the order.

0|L EXCITEMENT CONTINUES ON
 VERDE
tFrom Tuesday'a Daiiv)

Although the Verde Valley oil ex. citcment has been well under way for several weeks, not until last Sun. day was there given any substantial evidence of the basis of the reputed field of petroleum when D. M. Clark exhibited large sample of the shale that usually is to be found in the oil bearing condition, and which invari. ably precedes the actual determna ton of oil. The product above men. toned was brought by Mir. Clark from the scene where the original discovery was made short time ago, and from the odor and geological makeup of the sample the evidence furnished is considered almost con. elusive of m oil supply. The product brought to this city transmits dis tinct odor of petroleum, and was tsk en from the ground at . compara- tive shallow depth.
 Where the sample was taken out is northeast of Camp Verde and near Clear Creek. The first rig to be started, however, will be that of the Verde oil company, which will be located about two miles northwest of that settlement. It is on the road from California, and will be followed in few days by at least two others. Excitement still continues, and loea- tions are being made everywhere, until all desirable ground is covered. Farming lands in the valley proper are out of reach of spectators, and no transactions are being entertained by owners.
 Yesterday there were filed in the county recorders office forty.five To- cations, each embracing 16o acres, or total of 7,20J acres, which added to former filings makes in the aggre- gate oyer 5s,0OO acres. P. l.. Griffin of san Francisco, after three trips to the field is so elated over the prospects that he has acquired in the past few days, over 5000 acres, which added 10 former locations and land secured under lease, gives him and associates very large holdiugs He is a practical oil operator of the coast, and was accompanied by others identified with the industry. He is expected to arrive in the city today

CUTTING DOWN EXPRESS RATES

If no further steps should be taken toward the establishment of par. cels post system in this country, ac- ton of the express companies in re. ducing rates would show that agita. ton of the question has already re. suited in securing for the public some substantial benefits. Perhaps the ru. commerce commission to slash express rates had much to do with bringing about this nasty and voluntary tariff revision downward. But it should he borne in mind that the parcels post agitation has been n means of spur. ring the commission itself to action However the matter may be regard ed, apparently the people who use the facilities of the express compan. ies. much or little, will he gathers.
 The express companics might have displayed more wisdom had they
 
 net earnings for years have been i'm. mense; even in these days of huge profits on special privileges, the divi dends they have been able to declare, and the surpluses they have been able to carry over, and the "melons" they have been able to cut and di. vide, have been extraordinary. They might well have afforded to share n little of their prosperity with their patrons; but they have rcfrained from doing SO until their patrons meaning practically the public in general-have been compelled to seek a means of relief, namely, the par. cells post. i. N~~s
 It is doubtful now if any conces. sions the express companies will or can make would stem the movement looking to governmental monopoly of the pareel.carrying industry. The American people have been educated to n fairly clear understanding of what the parcels post means in other countries and of what 1t will mean to this country, and they can hardly be educated out of this knowledge. The express companies may be doing fbe only thing now that common sense can indicate, but apparently, they are doing it too late.

HULL SAYS HE

(From Tuesday's Daily)

Hon. c. W. Hull, of Jerome, while in the city Saturday, stated to many friends that he desired to contradict reports in circulation in connection with him being candidate for any office under the new state govern. ment and that the mention of his name for any position was unauthor. ized. He further stated that his at. titude so far as being antaeonistic toward certain features of the con. stitution has been vindicated, and he will let the whrl for office proceed leisurely among those who desire political honors. That he has been in office many times, and that on each occasion 1t Is well known the office hunted the man instead of the reverse being the ease. His large mining interests require his time and attention, Is one of the main reasons for his attitude at the present time.

WHERE CHILDREN LIKE scHooL

Out in Gary, Indiana, the school sessions are held the year around; there is no summer vacation.
 And the children go to school, not because parents say they must or because a compulsory law requires 1t; they go because they like school.
 Which Is as 1t should be. When children attend school because they like it, it is certain they will get all ont of 1t that . system of education affords.
 School Is like everything else; the results depend upon the interest and enrnestness of those who seek them.
 Compulsory education is not the best way because there is better way, and Gary seems to have found it. In Gary, work and play are SO co.ordinated that the child never wcaries of one and tires of the other.
 The training both mental and phy. sieal, Is calculated to appeal to the chiId's interest, but it is at the same time devised to be of the most practical purposes.
 In Gary, the school teachers do not waste timo and energy instruct. ing boys and girls in branches which they know only too well are not re. lated to the child's education and welfare.
 They are not afraid td try new methods which appeal to one's com. nonsense, nor have they reverence for the old fogy notions as to dead Languages and higher mathematics for children who will never need any. thing more than to know how to think and how to utilize what they can acquire by way of elemental knowledge,

 "lt is matter of sincere regret to me that the government should have been placed in the position of accusing of dishonesty and fraud per. sons whose conduct, for aught that appears. was above reproach.

COUNTY FAIR

The proposed Northern Arizona Fair association is bound 10 be reality within a short time. The purpose of the association appeals to everyone and the project has been greeted with enthusiasm in every place where it has been discussed.
 X fair of this sort will serve to give every farmer, orchardst and stock raiser in Northern Arizona an opportunity to engage in beneficial, friendly competition with his neigh. bors. Al the present time but a small percentage of the local land owners find opportunity to exhibit their products at the Territorial fair, owing to the distance, time required and incidental expenses.
 If the old race track be not ac. quired for fair ground, there is plenty of room in the Summer colony which would be suitable for the pur. pose.
 Fourth of July and Labor Day cele. brations would by no means suffer as n result of the innovation. As a matter of fact they would he bene. fitted. Under the existing conditions the holiday races arc around the loop, the spectators see the start and the finish-and as to what occurs during the race they are compelled to rely upon rumors, most of which are mere surmises which the anxious crowd soon accepts as facts; and in many instances these rumors are malicious and cause actual suffering to the friends and relatives of tho riders iand drivers with whom they deal.
 All of these unpleasant features are obviated by a circular track. The audience while seated in the grand. stand has an opportunity to see every move of the contestants and in the intervals between the events can be entertained by the band.
 If the enclosure within the track be lcvelled it will serve as an ex- cellent field for broncho busting con. tests and sports of that order.
 There are number of blooded horses in the northern counties and the revenue which would derive from training fees would go far toward paying the expenses of keeping up the grounds. In fact number of horsemen in the northern counties have already expressed n desire to have their strings train here rather than at higher altitude during the summer months.
 In addition to all these advantages permanent exhibition grounds will af. ford all Prescott an opportunity to 70 out and hold a celebration any time 1t feels so inclined without q moments preparation,
 By all means let us persist in the undertaking until we have the frs, permanent county fair in the new state.

tigation OF the records in the matters OF
the claims Of Bank Examiners Bowling

the matter, on appeal, to the district

Gering is said to have been retained
as counsel for Sam Patterson OF Arapa-

Larson, who lives about mile and a
half west OF Lyons, telephoned 20 his
brother to come over to his place as he
wanted his assistance. when tho broth
er arrived Larson took him to the barn

PENDANT thereupon shot, the charge strlk-
ing his brother in the head and killing
him instantly. The defendant then drove
