Never Grows Old

There is one thing in the world that ney CT grows too old to be pretty.
 It retains the same beauty and sy- metry of form that characterized it in it's youth. Unlike the beautiful girl in her teens it never gets too old to be good squeezing It takes no paint nor powder to erase the wrinkles from it's face and the longer you know t. the better you will like it. Men lie down and worship at it's shrine It is always entertained as most welcome guest. It is a thing of beauty and joy forever; it is universally loved and reverenced in spite of the fact that 1t is man made and not a creation ,f Gods handiwork.. It has a soothing and comforting effect and has been known to cure seemingly incurable diseases. It has occult properties equal to the Persian Magi. It is more pos erful than the strongest stimulant; Iii fact at a spiritualistic seance it litar- allr makes the ghost walk. It is cas- fly the most popular thing in the uni erse. It's the ten dollar bill

Looks Good For
 :. Arizona Statehood

Washington, July 31-With only six days intervening until the day upon which the United States senate will take up thef Nelson amendment to the Flood resolution providing for the ad- mission of Arizona and New Mexico to statehood, it may be safely predict ed that the Nelson amendment will 50 through with flying colors.
 A non-partisan poll of the situation reveals that few, if any, of the sena- tors will be found voting against the Nelson amendment when the testing time comes. Two or three days will be taken up in the senate by members who desire to place themselves square cn record respecting the question of the recall of the judges.

Criminals Tried
 To Say Farewell
The Arizona Republican says:

The Arizona Republican says:
 If the territorial prison at Florence had lake around it, and if the pris on officers had not been watching, the leap planned and never-made by Ed mund Dantes from the Chateau Diff would have been performed in Arizona
 Last week when Deputy Sinnoft was making the rounds of a corrid IT in the prison he observed small parti- cles of mortar on the floor. ! Investiga- tion showed that the first layer% of brick from the inner wall had been re- moved. To ascertain who the would be jail breakers were, Sinnott said nothing, but kept watch. During the next three days he learned that Con- victs Robertson and Mccoy were ac- tually doing the work, and w. J, Ly- man was constantly about the door Lyman was not seen participating in digging through the wall, but Dep aty Sinnott's suspicious were aroused by his presence near the entrance door so much of the time, keeping himself in position to warn Robert, son and Mccoy of the approach of anyone from the outside.
 A hole large enough to admit the passage of man was almost through the two-foot wall when the deputy walked in at an opportune time on the prisoners, catching them at actual work.
 Robertson aand Mccoy are thought to lave records n the crimina, world They are the pair that were recently arrested in Maricopa for burglary, and escaping from the improvised jai! committed a similar offense before being captured

High Water Dangers
 Have Passed Away

El Centro, July 31-C. N. Perry, en gineer for the Sociedad de Irrigacioh, the Mexican wing of the California Development company, left El Centro this morning for a tour of inspection in the Volcano Lake region and a trip along the levees that have held beck the flood waters of the Colorado, throwing them in south of Volcano lake.
 MT. Perry reports that the levees have withstood the floods and are il good condition, and that but little re- pair work was necessary during the flood season. Precautions have been taken however, to keep a daily patrol on the levees, so that within a few hours time a force of men and teams could have been placed on the wo; k of reinforcement had it proved neces- sary. To-day the patrol will be re- moved and this marks the passage of all danger from flood waters this sea- son.
 The Colorado river is falling daily and there is little prospect of further rise this season.

U. 5. Assay Offices
 To Be Wiped Out

Washington, July 31-More land marks of the old west will begin to disappear on January 1, unless con- sress should pass legislation to maia- tain the scattered western assay of- flces on their present basis. The gov ernment has decided to double the charge for assaying at Deadwood, Car son, Salt Lake, Helena, Boise City aud Sc lItie.
 Congressmen from those places pro test that the increased charges will close the offices because the mining companies will prefer to send their gold to the hints where the assaying charge will not be increased.
 Treasury officials say the offices have been dead ones for years.

Meadows Works For
 $11O Per Year

The Calexico Chronicle says:
 Sheriff Mobley Meadows has had to hire so many deputies to take care of the work of his office that his salary amounts to but $11O per year more than he pays out.
 The last legislature passed a relief bill, but District Attorney Swing says it is unconstitutional, and has instruct ed the county auditor not to pay war rants presented. by under sheriffs or deputies until the matter can be tes.- ed in the higher courts.
 The sheriff's salary was all right while Imperial county was in swad- ding clothes, but now it's different.
 Mobley is thinking of resigning in order to make living.

American Gem Mines.

It isn't. every man who can own a gem mine and keep it solely to serve as a source of supply. That is what Col. D.. c. Collier, of San Diego does. Col. Collier, who is director gener a! of the Panama-Californi Exposition 1915, is pronounced by many persons to be a typical westerner. He ought % be for he was born in Colorado, has been all lover the Rocky Mountains and coast states, and although still young, was pioneer in San Diego. If you should chance to see anyone wearing a transparent, violet colored stone, you would be pretty safe in as- stunning that you had run across one of Col. Golfers numerous friends, for that is the kind of gem which the Colonel gives to his friends, and thus far has refused all sorts of tempting offers to sell. The gem mines of San Diego county are world famous, and the exhibit from them to be made a5 San Diego's big Panama Exposition will be of wonderful interest.

Colorado River Is
 Cutting Near Bridge
CFrom Daily Examiner)

Within the last two or three days the Colorado river has been cutting in the banks on this side of the river between Prison Hill and the S. P. fridge.
 At a point between the river and tie s. P. hotel, the cutting appears to be the worst, and several good sized chunks of earth have dropped into tn 7 nav of the hungry, treacherous old river. It is also cutting near the cleo tric light plant. ! A prominent railroad man was ask ed about this last night, and he stated that the railroad company knew of it, ana that before the next high water the company engineers would proba- bly string track along their frontage there and rip rap it with heavy rock.
 The cutting only seems to have got started during the last little rise caus- ed by the late rains.

New Power Boat
 For Colorado River
The Fl Centro Standard says:

The Fl Centro Standard says:
 During Engineer c. N. Perry's rn cent visit to San Francisco he ordered for the Sociedad de Irrigacion-the Mexican wing of the California De ve1opment company-a gasoline launch for use on the Colorado and the Alamo rivers. The boat is due to arrive in Yuma today.
 It is 26 feet in length and is fitted with a twenty-five horse power distii- late engine. The boat will accommo- date twenty passengers. When loaded it will draw only ten inches of water, and this will allow it to pass over ilany of the sand bars and shoals of the Colorado river.
 MT. Perry expects to visit the river soon and make trip in tke new boat It will probably be taken to Volcano lake soon for trip of inspection around that body of water, which has become of large dimensions since tue h!gh waters of the Colorado have been flowing therein.

New Express Rates
(From the Daily Examiner)

To-day the Wells-Fargo Express O. ushers in new rate and began carry ing express shipments to exclusive of fees of other express companies m |. the United States and Canada, at one through charge and vice versa.
 Heretofore, when one compary could not carry a package from the point of origin to destination, each company charged it's local rate frorl the point of transfer, thus increasing the through charge over what it will DOW be under the new tariff agree ment.
 As an instance of how this ruling Will work to the benefit of the shipper, the following is quoted:
 Orlando, Florida, is an exclusive of flee of the Southern Express company
 At the past rates a package weigh ing nine pounds forwarded from Yu- ma to Orlando, Florida, would cost s2.95.
 finder the new ruling the charges would be s1.35, thus it will be SC en that there will be a saving of S1. Q under the new rate.

 Since his arrival in this city he has been a pitiful figure of destitution.
 Without the assistance of a number of business men who became interest Cd in his case, he could not ha e found it possible to live, for he had no means of support when he left Chicago.

 Fancila had spent the afternoon in Miller & Simpsons barber shop, and where he often spends whole days quietly seated in a chair He is ret molested, for his condition is we'll known to the owners, who have been generous in contributing to his SUD- port. Late in the afternoon it was .Io- ticed that he had covered his face with his hands, and that his whole body was trembling with emotion.
 With al. their sympathies stirred, number of men in the room gathered around the lonely boy and asked him what the trouble was
 Yesterday, he told them, was the dly that had bee set for his marriage with the girl in Chicago. When he had first been engaged to her, he was a young mechanic drawing good wages, with hope of rising to fore It was in 1908 that he lad first met her, and they had agreed 10 wait until he had discharged some debts left by his father, who had died some time previously of inflammatoy rheumatism. The young mans wages were applied on these debts, but they were at last cleared up and early in the year he told her that he would soon be able marry her. They set the date of the wedding for July 30, 1911, because that was the day her mother was marr.ed
 Then Fanella's health began to feiI He felt his strength slipping away and ill spite of the attentions of one cs the best physicians in Chicago he b. came worse and was ordered to come
 His savings had been eaten up y doctors bills and when he reached Phoenix he had s3.OO in his pocket.
 So. yesterday when he recalled the that was to have taken place If the girl he had gigven up, and f all the happiness, he had lost through hiis misfortune he broke down and west.
 Kind hearted citizens are now rais- ng purse for the, destitute boy.

Now you see we men folks have got

why. That is the case this time. SO
you see the fix I was in don't you?
Knowing the policy of The Jeffs,

per, I'll lose my wife, if l choose my
wife 1 loose The JEFF. See? For sake
of peace in the family I will have to
ask favor. Here it is: either send

still allow my wife the privilege of
sending those photographs later.
Which? I can't well do without my
wife or The Jeffersonians.
