VANISHING LIGHTNING ROD.

The death of John Cole, authority
on electrical phenomena and pioneer
In the lightning-rod business, calls at
tention to the undoubted fact that hui
manity is not so fearful Of lightning
as it was generation ago. The light
ming rod is vanishing. These deflec-
tors of electrical current are practical
ly unknown In the cities, says the st.
Louis Republic. Once in a long while
you see farmhouse with few rusty
streaks of iron running down from
the rooftree to ground under the
caves. Inquiry usually develops the
fact that these have been In place for
20 years or more. The lightning-rod
agent has vanished with his wares.
He is no longer a subject for the joke
smith dealing with rural themes. That
clause in the insurance policies that
protects against fire, lightning, wind
storms and tornadoes" seems to have
taken the place of the platinum-upped
rod that used to stud the roofs of the
fearful and the prudent. There are
thousands of farmers and business
men who never met a lightning-rod
agent. Certainly the electrical cur
rents are Just as dangerous to life
and property as they were when the
lightning rod was a staple article of
commerce. More lives are lost, more
live stock is killed and more buildings
are burned by these discharges now
than in the past, as the country is
more thickly populated and the
chances are greater.

LAND FILINGS TO
BE CONFIRMED
PaIo Verde Settlers Locations Will
Be Adjusted Within Next Ten
Days--DeIay Result of Misunder-
standing

The long-dra wn-out case between
the State of California and the Uni
Jed States, Involving 10000 acres
of rich land i'm the Palo Verde val
ley, to which the state sought pos
session ON the ground that they were
swamp and overflowed at the time OF
the government survey in 1856, has
finally reached a stage where the
Los Angeles land office will be pre-
pared to care for the filings made by
prospective settlers, hitherto held in
abeyance ON account of the litigation.
information has been given out by
Register Buren and Receiver Robin
son that within the next ten days it,
is expected that all of these matters
will be amicably arranged, and the
persons who have been holding on to
their filings will be confirmed in thei
right by the general government. This
will be good news to hundreds OF
anxious people, who have been watch
ing the contest with much interest.
The obstacle which has held the
matter up since Secretary of the In
terror Fisher gave his final decision
was removed through the activity OF
Lucius K. Chase, attorney for the
settlers. The Washington office, in
its communication of the findings Ce
the secretary of the Los Angeles
land office, sent letter which was
intended as a removal of the sllSpem-
sion, but was not clearly understood.
The office was waiting for an order
from General Archer, United States

LOCAL TEAM WINS
EXCITING CONTEST
Memorial Day Contest Marked BY
Much WrangIing, But Proved to
Be interesting to Large Crowd in
Attendance.

Sunday game; Indian School 3,
Parker 2.
Memorial Day game; Parker Z,
Irdian School 6.
With the outcome of both base ball
games the past week depending on
the ninth inning, the fans were fulm-
ished with some rare excitement in
the finishing frame.
Parker nosed out a victory in the
last half of the ninth i'm the Memorial
Jay game when the Indian center
fielder muffed a fly by Henderson and
Dunn pounded out a hot grounder past
the third baseman scoring the rum
.er.
Both games were we'll played. The
NJ emorial Day contest was marred by
some wrangling and much waving of
arms and menacing looks ON the part
If the Indian boys, who thought they
were getting the worst of the
decisions. They may have been call
ing the umpire mean names, but If
they did it was all done i'm Indian
lingo and was therefore harmless.
Anyway, they did a great deal of
chattering and some pouting but
finished the game.
A purse of SIS was raised as a
prize for the Memorial Day game and
this will be used by the Parker club
in buying new equipment.
In spite of the extremely hot wea-
ther the games were witnessed by
large crowds of fans.
The Indians started the scoring in
the Thursday game in the first INN
ing. The second man to bat scored ON
ali easy grounder after Baker and
Graves each took a turn trying to
throw the ball away Baker, playing
short, grabbed the ball off the ground
and threw lit far out in the grease
wood in the direciotn of first base
Graves, playing first, got it and tried
to catch the runner on home but the
lall crossed the plate at an altitude
of about - feet,
Parker came to bat in the second
half of the first and hit the bali
for three scores. After this the local
td am lead until the first of the ninth.
In this frame the Indians got three
len ON bases and then somebody
threw the ball over in the vicinity
Of the Indian players bench where
the red roOters kicked it around till
two men had scored. The umpire call
ed one runner out because the bali
lad been interfered with and it was
at this point that the Indians set up
a howl. Umpire Broughton stood

CLARK MAY BUY
HORN PROPERTY
General Manager of United Verde
Company, With Engineer VIM. Nea
gle, Examine Well Known Coppe,
Mine on Parker Cutoff.

Representative of the Clark cop
per interests completed an examina-
tion of the Horn mine, located DIN the
south end of the Turtle mount aims
on the Parker cutoff. last week. Ii
the party We're Will L. Clark, general
manager of the United Verde, ChaGs
Clark, son of ex-senator Clark, and
William Neagle, of the mining engi-
neering department.
The party left for Jerome Friday
and joined w. A. Clark, who is there
on one of his regular inspection trips.
1t is understood that the matter of
taking over the Horn property will
be presented to Mr. Clark ait once
Mr.. Neagle was the first to ar.
rive to examine the property, and
after making a preliminary eXamina-
tion he wired General Manager Will
L. Clark ito come at once, which he
did. They We're greatly pleased and
thoroughly inspected the mine.
While nothing definite has been
given out, it lis generally believed
that the Clark interests are almost
sure to take over the mime. The
character of ore in the Horn mime
Is just what lis required to mix with
United Verde ore to obtain the best
smelling results.
The high price of copper, and the
probability of the metal going still
higher Within the next few months
is causing those interested i'm the red
metal to tie up all available copper
properties. There are many such il
this district and if the Clark inter
ests decide on taking hold here ii
will result in great benefit to the
whole Parker country, as many will
follow the Lead OF the great copper
magnate.
