merchandising and good advertising combined win

who handles good quality of goods, has good selling

PARCEL POST WILL CAR
RY c. 0. D. PACKAGES
New Ruling Went Into Effect
On July End,

The c. o. D. feature of the
parcel post became operative, to-
gether with the ruling of the
postofice department that letter
stamps may be used on parcels.
Heretofore, parcels were mail
able only when they bore parcel
post stamps, but now ordinary
postage will insure the transpor-
tation of package as quickly as
the officially designated stamp.
With this addition to the parcel
post service-an addition that is
expected to cut deeply into the
revenues of the express compan-
ies-the government undertakes
to deliver a parcel to the address
see, collect the value Of the par4
eel and return the money to the
sender. For this it proposes to
charge two small fees. The first
fee is one Of 10 cents, payable in
addition to the mailing charge.
The 10 cents is what Uncle Sam
figures the additional service IS
worth. The second fee is the
money order charge for sending
the collection to the sender of
the parcel. In handling the mon
eys collected, the government
will charge only the money order
fee on the basis of charges now
exacted for money orders. If the
government collects, for instance,
S. on a parcel, it will charge the
person to whom the money is tc
be returned 3 cents.
/ Parcels sent via parcels post
and marked cash on delivery will
be limited to valuations of 500.
Parcels of greater value will be
rejectected for the present, or
may be devided into two parcels.
Later, if the G.. 0. D. feature as
is expected, the limitation of val
ue will be placed higher.
The fee of 10 cents for the
collection also insures the parcel
for the value named by the sen
der.

Saved Part OF Wool

Chas, E. Howard; the sheep
man, was in Flagstaff Monday
from Ash Fork. n speaking lof
the recent FIRE at his shearing
pens in which all his wool, sacked
ready for shipment, was burned
he said that about seventy sacks
Of the three hundred were saved
though it was badly damaged,
This wool was sent to the scopr-
ing mill at Albuquerque. Train
mastir Dufield was largely in
strumental in saving the seventy
sacks, by promptly ordering an

WASTED PUBLIC LAND
IS NOT CONSERVATION
Popular Idea That and with.
drawn From, Settlement i.
Conservation" is Rapid.
ly Dissipated.

For a great many years people
who are not in position to know
and give the subject no thought,
conclude that the government is
doing q great work in 'conserva-
ton every time q few more mil
lion acres Of public domain is
withdrawn fromentry and thrown
into some reservation or other.
This ideo is being rapidly dissi-
pated and the people believe more
and more in the actual use of
land rather than leaving vast
areas idle, useless and drain on
the resources of the country. :
From an actual condition at our
door, one might learn a great
deal. # one should leave Flag
staff and visit Tuba, Keams Can
yon, Chin Lee Chilchiebto, Ken
ycnta, Red Lake and back again.
visiting the leading trading posts
and fine Indian schools, the trip
would be through the heart of
the Indian country, comprising
over 1870 square miles and ''es-
timated" to contain about Ia OOO
Indians, yet one would receive
the impression the country was
practically uninhabited. Vast are
as OF the finest grazing lands. in
Northern Arizona will be seen
without q single head of stock
grazing on them. The traveas>...
would be days passing over an
area nnderlaid with7ccal equal to
any mined at Gallup. There are
millions Of feet of pine timber,
rich veins of copper, fine building
stone, thousands Of acres Of rich
farm land that could Be cuItivat-
ed either by dry farming or irri-
cation all idle, all unused, all a
waste to civilization, because q
few thousand Navajos choose to
roam over it and pitch their camps
here and there in the most favor
ed locations. iYiD-lf
The idea is not to take away
from the Indian the land he
needs, ner toa work a hardship
upon him, bat to utilize the vast
area he does not need, to take for
use 9 portion of the area that
eastern "philantropists" have as
sisted in adding to year after
year; to prevent the perpetuation
of positions and expense of hand
ling q vast waste area.
Former Commissioner Valen-
tines idea of making allotnents
to Indians then throwing open
the great reservations was the
right one, but the thoroughly en-
trenched machinery both in and
out of the service soon found
means of discrediting his admin
istration and getting him out of
the way.
The time has come when a de-
termined fight should be started
all over the west to reclaim
rightful share Of these great are

before the council on behalf the
residers in Block No. 18 and ask
ed for the extension Of the Sewer
System, which upon a motion was
granted, and accordingly the
clerk was instructed to advertise
for bids. Before this matter was
closed the Sewer Commission
suggested that the Town pur-
chase a car Of Sewer Pipe, as
there will be other extensions to
be made. In this connection the
clerk was instructed to procure
quotations on this material and
report at the next session Of the
council.
Again the matter Of number
ing houses was brought before
the council by chairman Drumm
Of the Street and Alley committee
who reported that he was having
prepared map covering every
residence in the town and ap-
proximately 500 numbers would
be necessary to carry out the
work. Those numbers are to be
purchased by the town and de-
livered to the property owners
free Of charge.
n the matter Of assessed val
uation Of the brick cottage of
Thos. Potter located on lots No.
5 and 6 in Block II which was
vauled at S950.OO and raised bv
the Board of Equalization to 81.
200. 90 Mr.. Ed. Clark, agent for
the property filled protest against
the raise, the council refusing to
rescind their former action. Mr..
Clarks contention was denied.
The building of a road to New
Round house was brought up and
discussed, while no official action
was taken, it is the general opin-
ion Of the COUNCIL that the road
will be constructed, by popular.
subscription or otherwise. It is
suggested that the Third Street
will be the most logical route.
A financial estimate embody-
ing proposals for the maintenance
Of the Town for the esuing year
was itemized as follows: to cover
interest on $4,000, Sewer Bonds
81, 400.C0 for the maintence and

pare the budget for publication

COUNTY DIVISION
TO BE REFERRED
Coconinc County People Start
Movement to Submit Bill to
the People in 1914.

the county division bill are being
circulated and simultaneously its
friends have discovered that the
official copy in the hands Of the
secretary of stat is not exactly
as they thought the measure was
passed. They claim that one of
the important percentages was
left out of section twelve.
The petitions originated in
Flagstaff, place were nearly
everyone is strongly opposed to
county division. It is believed
that Senator Breen had some
thing to do with the movement.
Several copies have been received
in Phoenix and will be circulated
shortly.
Because they do not want to
lose the western end of Coconino
the people Of Flagstaff and the
east enc of the county are op-
posed to the division bill and in
tend to suspend it's operation at
least till the general election of
1914. They need 1880 names and
cannot hone to secure them all in
their own county SO they are ask
ing their friends in other parts
Of the state to help.
County division IS z live issue
also in Maricopa, Pinal, ella, and
Cochise. The people of Douglas
and Bisbee do not want this bill
to GO into effect because they fear
that if it does the northern part
of Cochise will secede, with
Tombstone or Wilcox as the
county seat. They feel that to
lose most of the farming country
would be disastrous to the mining
districts.
Three county division bills were
defeated at the last session of the
legislature. One was to create the
county Of Hunt out Of the west
end Of Coconino; one was to ere
ate the county Of Orange out Of
the east end Of Maricopa, and
the third was to take Winkelman
and Hayden from ella and annex
them to Pinal.
But general county division
bill, introduced originally by Sen
ator c. B. Wood was passed. It
provided that no county should be
created without assessable pro-
perty worth So, 3,00O,O 900 and at
least $50 voters. Another provi-
sion was that an election to de-
eide whether county should be
divided should be called upon the
filing of petitions signed by fiji
teen per cent of the qualified
electors.
The house changed the bill
somewhat and the senate refused
to concur. Just one conference
was had. Barker, Maddox and
Jones represented the house in
that conference, which had to do
with the question Of what per
centage Of the votes should be
necessary to carry county divi-
son proposition It was finally
agreed, SO it is claimed, that such
proposition could be carried by
sixty per cent of the voters in
the new county and twenty in
the old; IS per cent in the new
and ten in the old, or merely
ninety per cent in the new county
to be created.
In the copy of the bill that
reached the secretary Of state the
the 1910 percentage was left out
entirely. How it happened to be
left out is a mystery that no one
has been able to fathonn -Ariz.

 to Take Stand

New York, Nov. f2.-The trial or alleged graft disclosed by charges that roads and canal contractors in many counties were sandbagged' by Tammany Hall into making contri- buttons to state campaign funds in recent years, led upstate again today.
 An assistant district attorney, John Kirkland Clark, made inquiry n Oswego where he hoped to obtain from prominent lawyer of that ely information to present to the John Doe investigation in progress here. The lawyer sought by MT. Clark is believ- ed to know of such contributions, as he has acted as attorney for several ontractors.
 The John Doe proceedings will De resumed before Chief Magistrate Me Adoo tomorrow when Geo, H. Nc Guire of Syracuse again will take the stand if he is in physical condition to do so. Mcclure collapsed yesterday after being forced. under threat oi indictment for perjury to admit it

ABANDON CAUCUS
 FOR CURRENCY
DEMOCRATS GIVE UP HOPES OF PUTTING BILL THROUGH IN
 THAT MANNER.
Full Committee of Democrats and Re- publicans Will Meet Today in a Final Effort to Agree.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The attempt to force the administration currency bill through the senate by way of the democratic caucus was abandoned to- day and the banking and currency committee of the senate was given time for further consideration of the bill. A practical agreement by six democratic senators, half of the com mittee, and hope for a final report within five or six days was reported to the democratic conference when it met today by Senator Owen, and at his request the conference took no action.
 Since the cali for the conference was issued Senators Reed and O'Gor- man had joined Chairman Owen and Senators Pomerone, Shafroth and Hol- lis, supporters of the administration measure, despite their votes against some of it's provisions in the commit tee These six democrats have vir. tually agreed on a bil which meets the views of President Wilson. This measure will be taken before the sen. ate as soon as possible.
 A further attempt to swing Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska in line with his democratic colleagues was made in meeting of democrats Of the com mittee after the conference, but Sena. tor Hitchcock insisted that he could not reconcile his views with tho de mands of the president.
 Tomorrow the full committee, dem. ocrats and republicans, will meet and another attempt will be made to se- cure an agreement among a majority
 If this fails it is probable that the democrats and republicans will make unanimous report on those details of the bill which all approve then submit supplementary reports show ing the senate their disagreement on the fundamentals of the bill.
 The republicans and Senator Hitch cock have announced their determine ton to stand out to the last for the public ownership of the regional banks in the new system and for gov ernment control of those banks. Chairman Owen was asked by sey eral senators whether he was con vinced that currency legisation could not be put through the senate at this session and whether an adjournment of congress might not well be taekn He made no definite reply but sev eral senators took the position that SC l far as currency legislation before lIDecember 1 was concerned, congress
 might just as well adjourn.
 l There has been considerable pres sure for an adjournment, if only fol
 ten days or two weeks, on both sides of the capitol, but it is understood that in view of the Mexican situation
 congress will be kept in Washington regardless of currency legislation.

 That some officials close to Huerta were urging him to retire was the word that has reached Washington to- day, but no official information on the subject was diyulged here.
 Talk of lifting the embargo on arms was heard again today in off eial circles. That members of con gress were not entirely agreed upon the subject, was indicated by Repre- sentative Mann, republican leader who said that SO far as republicans were concerned, there was no senti- ment for letting down the bars He said it would be just as safe to allow the issuance of arms ito highwaymen as to bandits of Carranza's army"
