GUILTY OF MURDER.

five minutes after they received
their instructions from the court Sat-
urlay evening, the jury in the case
Of ". i. Faltin, charged with the
murder CT Carl Peterson, returned a
verdict Ct guilty of murder in the
first degree, with the punishment
fixed at death
The verdict came at the end of
probably the most sensational MUIR
der trial in the history of this state
Tho circumstantial evidence was SO
strong that at many times during
IT,, trial it was generally predicted

Tie Pomeros were the states star
Witnesses. 1t was their story that
brought about Faltin's arrest. EARLY
on the morning of September they
were awakened by cries from the Fa,.

bors. A call for help from Carl Pet
arsOn, who lived with Faltin
hey We're too frightened to go
to lis assistance The next morn
ing they reported the affair to the
officers and an Investigation was
made. 1t was aScertained that a
horrible murder had been committed;
that Peterson had been beaten to

Evidence pointed to Faltin as the
guilty party and he was taken into

Senators Fail To Vote.

1.-The antagonists of direct legisla-
tion frequently assails the initiative
and referendum upon the ground that
under such system only so or 60
per cent of the voters go to the pOllS.
But a peruSal of the Congressional
Record will show that during the Six
ty second Congress frequently there
was no quorum present i'm the Senate.
and that upon great number OF
occasions bills were passed or defeat
ed i'm the Senate with 80 or 35 per
cent of the membership of the Senate
determining the question, and hat
it is very unusual in the Senate for
higher percentage than 70 per cent
f the Senators to vote upon any
bill or measure. Indeed the precent-
age of Senators not voting is as
great as the per cent of the people
who do not vote under the initiative
and referendum, and it must be re-
membered that Senators are paid sal
aries to remain in the Senate and
vote.
"The objection is frequently made
to direct legislation that the people
at large make mistakes, but | say
in reply if mistakes are to be made
it is far better that the people
should make them than that the
peoples representatives should make
them. In other words, no one should
be authorized to make mistakes for
the people,"

Immediately after his arrival the
hopelessness of his case is shown

two ago in Phoenix from Senator

WILL ASSESS
CASH VALUE
ACCORDING TO DECISION OF TAX
COMMISSION ALL KINDS OF
PROPERTY MUST BE ASSESS
ED AT ACTUAL VALUE.

The state tax commission has sent
out letters to the various county as,
SCISSORS in Arizona imstructing them
TO assess all property hereafter at
its full cash value From this rule
there is to be no deviation. The
cash value will be determined by
the income derived from the prop
erty on rents and it's sale price.
Assessor Ming estimates that this
new rule will increase the tax value
in Yuma county about three times
In other words, the assessed value
last year was $5,OOO,O0O; next year
it will be SIS, 200, 900.
The letter from the tax commission
to the assessors is as follows:
"The tax Commission has decided
that no longer must the plain require
ments of the law be disregarded in
the matter of placing all property
on the roll at it's full cash value.
''You are therefore instructed tG
list all property of whatsoever kind
or nature, real or personal, tangible
or intangible, at it's full cash value
during the assessible period of 1913
Heretofore no adequate method has
been used, generally, to get the true
value of stocks of merchandise To
correct this error, you are instructed
to obtain without fail, an exhibition
for your perusal, OF the sworn in
ventory of stocks and merchandise
No discount shall be allowed off the
fun amount of the inventory but the
fllll amount shall be listed as full
cash value of the stock of merchan
disc
I'm instance where the merchant
has made no inventory and will mo-
furnish one, then you are to place
such valuation on the stock thai
here cam be no possible doubt but
that your valuation is equal to the
full cash value"

1912 OUTPUT
IS 649 BALES
eLYTHE GIN CLOSED DOWN LAST
SATURDAY-CROP AVERAGES
BALE AND QUARTER TO THE
ACRE.

BLYTHE, Cal, Jan. 30, 1913.-Bly-
Saturday after a run of 76 days dur
ing which time 649 bales averaging
over 500 lbs. each We're turned out.
This is more than double the output
of last year which amounted to 277
bales.
The gross income to PaIo Verde
farmers on this cotton and the cot
ton seed was over $4,000
The total area planted was $40
acres but nearly 100 acres was wash
ed out at the time of the overflow SO
that the average yield for the year
was about bale and a quarter to
the acre. A large portion of the
acreage was grown by farmers who
had never seen a bole of cotton be-
fore they came to the valley.
The motor truck of the Santa Fe-
Blythe line is hauling this cotton out
at the rate of so bales a week and
a new truck will double this amount
in few days. Workmen have
been busy the past week sacl1ing the
cotton seed for shipment to the Los
Angeles Creamery company, which
has contracted for the entire surplus.
The record of the past year has
paced the Palo Verde as one of the
best, if not the best, cotton producing
districts i'm the country as the yield
per acre here was greater than either
The Imperial or Salt river valleys
and is much greater than the average
in the cotton producing states of
the south.
B. E. Hoch probably made the best
record on the season when he pro-
duced II bales on six acres of land
Culpepper and Wells ginned SO bales
from 80 acres. Many others of the
local ranchers got bale and a half
to the acre.
4 careful inquiry among the farm
ers of the valley indicates that the
"-i e"e.e pldiIteU 10 CoeIo1 uurlllS INC
present year will be about double
that of the past season Enough
seed of the long staple varieties
alone has been brought in to plant
over 200 acres. If prices received
for long fiber remain as high as at
present it is likely that the entire
acreage of the valley will be devot-
ed to the Durango and Aliens I'm
proved cottons i'm the future.

Initial steps for the erection of
club house and library in Blythe were

club at a reception given in honor
of Raymond Cree, county school sup
erintendent, and Joseph T.. Daniels,

night.
Raymond Cree spent the greater
part of last week in the valley visit
ing the schools. Daniels accompani-
ed him to Blythe to complete ar
rangements for establishing branch
OF the Riverside library at this place.
The school house was crowded to
the limit to accommodate the large
number of valley residents who at
tended. the reception given for these
laen. The program arranged by the
Woman's club was enjoyed from
the time Mrs. Hanlon made the open
ing announcement until skinny"
kamrar downed the last spoonful of
pineapple sherbet-and that was
well along toward Sunday morning.
Superintendent Cree made the first
address of the evening. He hand
ed the parents and teachers some
interesting information on various
phases of the school work and sug-
gested that high school for the val
lev was not far distant
Members OF the Woman's Improve
ment club closed the program by
passing subscription papers for
money to start the library and club
house fund. Nearly $500 was sub
scribed to the erection of build

There are very few things which
the women of this club undertake
and fail to put through and is the
greatest reason why the people of

may look forward with certainty to

and equipment for social functions
of every kind.
