ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCH1

EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M, June 13.-LiP Artha Johnson has reduced his bulk from 233 pounds to 221 since reaching East Las Vegas two weeks ago That means that the dusky champion will not have any difficulty in making his pet weight 215 pounds, for MT. James Flynn in this citys championship ring en- counter July 4. ,.........,

Not until Ryan took hold of the Monte yuma Springs camp had Syracuse Tommy as much as seen Flynn in action. The fireman went up as high as 215 while waiting to start work going in earnest Flynn, as a 200-pounder, did not make any hit with Ryan. The veteran abhors dead weight and just as soon as he judged

WELLS AND HIS PEN
 AT LARGE IN ARIZONA
Special Writer for the Southern Pa . cific, Preparing Literature
 That Pulls.

A. J. Wells, a special writer of the advertising department of the South ern Pacific is in the valley for stay of several days, collecting data and views, which he will use in a reissue of the pamphlet, Arizona" published some time ago by the rail- road interests.
 The present work of MT. Wells consists of a closer study of the lay of the land for a more elaborate and much better illustrated book than the first edition. The old issue, a very creditable work was distributed to the number of some 50,000 copies, and undoubtedly carried the gospel of the Salt river valley and Arizona into many foreign climes.
 The 1912 edition will be even more complete than it's predecessor, re- Dlete with description of the riches of the land and frightened by cuts of important and interesting scenes. Especial attention will be paid to i'm dustrial and agricultural matters, with of course due reference to the Water Bank and it's system of in surance of life sap the year round.
 Beside the Arizona" Wells is pre- pairing for the same publisher a lit tie volume exclusively on Salt river valley The nature of the latter book is similar to that of the broader one but the effort will be concentrated on the Imperial county" Maricopa.
 MT. Wells is accompanied by C. s. Huntington, a special photographer, who will impress some of the won darS Of the valley on his plates
 The two visitors will go to ROose- welt under the care of the board of trade, where impressions will be caught and recorded like those of a phonograph, and the final result will be words in profusion on the biggest sight in the world where man has collaborated with nature, in the pro- duction of awe inspiring masses.

CELEBRATION
 IF THE FOURTH
Loyal Order of Moose Se- cures Cooperation of Business Men and Will Ask All Fraternal Soci- cities to Join Parade

The Loyal Order of Moose which has undertaken to give this city such a Fourth of July celebration as il never saw before, made splendid headway with it's plans yesterday. It recognized from the beginning that il could not carry out it's idea with out community cooperation and set about securing it in a systematic way. The first things it did was to secure the endorsement of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers assOcia- ton, which represents very largely the business interests of the city and that secured the committees began calling upon the business men.
 Thus far $500 in cash has been subscribed. together with donations ty the butchers and bakers and oth- CTS. of beeves, ham. bread, pickles, etc, sufficient to pull off a monster barbecue.
 That it may be made a city and in a sense a county demonstration, every fraternal society in the county will be asked to turn out in a grand street parade on the fourth. Prizes will be given to the companies or lodges appearing in the best form, in accordance with rules yet to be formula ted.
 As has been announced the cOun- cil has alrccdy placed the city plaza and such streets as are required, at the disposal ot the order, and has granted the privilege of a fireworks display at suitable place. The parade will be followed by a big old fashioned fourth of July program of oratory and music, the new Arizona State band having been secured to add it's volume to the latter. The speakers have not yet been selected but will be announced in due time. During the day when there will be no interference with other things there will be big open air dance on the plaza, and altogether the Moose expect to make it an event with which no former natal day celebra- tion in Arizona can be compared.

WILL
 VISIT THE DAM
Delegation of Foreign and
 American Scientists Trav7
 cling Under Auspices of Geographic Society to Make Side Trip Here

Phoenix is to entertain more cele- brities, this time a delegation of for eign irrigation experts.
 The first intimation that a visit was contemplated by representatives of European and American scientific societies came in wire to the Recla- nation service from Louis C. Hill. He says: Party of seventy eminent European and American scientists, geologists and engineers under aus pices American Geographic society will visit Grand Canyon in August Fourteen countries represented Have suggested side trip to Roosevelt and party will make same if. autos are furnished by Phoenix people" The matter was referred to the Board of Trade and the plan of entertaining the party was heartily endorsed, at the meeting of the directors of that body yesterday afternoon
 Many suggestions were made con corning the best way to show the vis- itors oyer the project, the matter be- ing finally left to the secretary to make all arrangements. It is rather early to plan an affair that will not take place until fall but the board has started things promptly so there can be no question of the complete sue , cess of the undertaking.
 | It is planned to have at least twenty i automobiles carry the savants, repre- sentatives of the commercial bodies oi 1 the valley and members of the press on the long road to the dam. In eacf car will be someone to whom the vis- 1 itors may apply for impromptu lee . lures on the passing show. At FisF i creek there will probably be . luncheon spread under the trees witf
 plenty of the cooling liquid made ! necessary by the time of year il i which the excursion will occur. Aftel

NEW PARCELS POST MEASURE

The parcels post bill attached to the postoffice appropriation bill, as it passed the house of representatives is a very imperfect response to the demand for a parcels post. It's sponsors in the house did not appear Ito have much faith in it's meeting public expectation. The best thing that can be said of it is that it is a beginning and may be perfected in the light of experience. Senator Bourne wants to perfect 1t immediately and his parcels post bill has received the unqualified indorse- ment of Postmaster General Hitch cock.
 A flat rate for letter and newspa- per postage for the entire United States works very well, particularly as the express companies are pro- hlbited from carrying letters unless the United State postage is fully paid upon this. When it comes to charg- ing the same rate for four-pound as eleven pound packages, no matter whether they are carried across the Delaware or across the continent, it becomes necessary to charge what would be a fair average rate As a result the express companies, which charge by distance, will underbid the government for short haul parcels and allow the latter to carry at a losing rate all the long distance packages.
 The Bourne bill divides the coun- try into six zones. The first covers fifty miles from the place of sending and the postage is cents for the first pound and cents for each ad- ditional pound, or 26 cents for an eleven-poun package. For the sixth zone, which is 200O miles or more from the place of starting, the rate is F cents for the first pound and F cents for each additional pound, or $1.32 for an eleven-pound package from Philadelphia to San Francisco. There are four intermediate zones
 with rates apportioned to distance. The distinction between third and | fourth class matter is abolished and maximum weight of a mailable pack 1 age is increased from four to eleven pounds.
 l This looks like a workable meas ure It meets the chief objection made to the ordinary parcels post
 proposition and promises the kind of parcels post the country has been looking for It's cordial indOrsement by the postoffice department gives it a status, and if the senate really cares to have genuine parcels post i established it will certainly get much nearer to it if it substitutes this new proposition for the crude and unsat- | isfactory house propOsal.-Philadel- ! phia Press

An egg of the great aux, or gare.

Not all great auk's eggs are alike.
In length they vary from four and one.

greater number found have white

shades Of bun. In some cases the
markings are spots, shown in blotches

It is said that no living aux has been
seen since 1874. The birds were en-
terminated by the ruthless trafiic in
their eggs and skins, although their
numbers, especially on the Newtound.

they were very numerous, were great.

The most remarkable characteristic
of the great aux was 1t inability to ~.
