lations, at least a grave breach of
etiquette has been committed by the
bureau chief or whoever it may be
that gave out the information of
what the War Department proposed
to do to Arizona before communi-
eating with Governor Hunt, the
commander-in-chief of the Arizona
guard relative to such a contemplated
action.
The Associated Press dispatch is
the only information that has been
received at the State house relative
to the proposed action or threat or
whatever it is the War Department
is making toward the Arizona guard
authorities.
1t is generally held that the action
if followed out will in effect be
denying the right Of the Governor
to command his own militia and
that in denying the right of the

not only is the Dick law being plain
ly and openly controverted, and its
intention obscured, but the autonomy
OF the State in matters affecting the
body OF its citizenship is being in
fringed upon.
Governor Hunt did not desire to
make any statement relative to the
information contained in the As
sociated Press dispatch, all he
would say was that no official in
formation had been received by him
concerning the incident although he
had been in communication by wire
with the War Department
Adjutant General Harris said he
proposed to stand pat upon his posi-
ton on the law, as heretofore ex-

FOREIGN TRADE
BREAKS PAST
RECORDS
and Exports
Are Greater Than
Ever Before.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE
largest volume OF commerce record
ed in one year during the entire
history OF the country passed
through the port OF New York dur
ing the twelve months of the fiscal
year ending on June 80.
Figures just compiled at the Gus
tom House show that the imports
of merchandise from foreign coun-
tries during this period were valued
at little over Sl,OOOOO0,OOO while
the exports aggregated over $780,,
100000 This was a gain OF more
than $20O,OOO,OO0 over the amount
OF trade handled during the pre-
ceding year. AS So percent of the
imports of the country and 81 per
cent OF the exports pass through
New York, these figures indicate
that the foreign commerce of the
nation for the year just completed
will total about S4,350O0O,000 or
about half a billion dollars more
than the highest total ever before
recorded. OF this increase about
$3500OO,00O has been made up of
exports and $l5O,OOOOOO OF imports
This great excess OF exports over
imports, establishing a favorable
trade balance for the United States
abroad, is usually regarded by trade
experts as an index of prosperous
conditions and they are now at
tempting to reconcile these figures
with the general slowing down OF
trade that is now admitted to have
taken place in the past few months
and with the disquieting fact that
commercial failures in the United
States during the first half of 1913
have also reached a new high record
for any but a panic year. About
the only light they have been able
to throw on this apparent con-
tradiction is that the highest totals,
both in exports and imports, were
recorded last Autumn and that the
monthly figures on both sides of
the ledger have decreased since that
time Incidentally the Federal
treasury has profited by the ex
pansion in imports, Uncle Sam hav-
ing collected over S200,0O0,0O0 in
duties at this port during the year

matter was passed to the committee

CHAMBER THANKS
FRONTIER DAY BOOSTERS
From Fridays Daily

Robert K. Porter, chairman OF
the finance committee of Prescott's
first Frontier Day celebration, stated
last night at the regular meeting OF
the Chamber of Commerce that 1928
remains in the exchequer, with near
ly all outstanding bills paid in full.
The report was interesting, ex-
haustive and enlightening. A sum-
mary will be read at the next meet
ing, showing the final balance. 1t
is thought wise that the whole fund,
including the $500 contributed by
the Chamber as the net proceeds of
the Selig play, should be left in
the bank to form the nucleus for
the fund for the second Frontier
Day, in 1914, but this matter will
be decided by vote of the sub
scribers, who are invited to attend
the meeting, July II.
Hearty and unanimous votes OF
thanks were accorded William

COPPER SUPPLY
ONLY NORMAL
SAYS CLARK
(From Saturdays Daily

- AOAA HdAAJ
There are few men in this country
as well informed as to general bust
ness conditions, particularly in re-
gard to the copper industry, as
Senator w. A. Clark. He says that
the supply of copper on hand at
the present time is but normal, and
that if he were not well satisfied
with the market conditions he would
not be spending 100000 in the
erection Of new smelter, and
making various and extensive i'm
provements about the United Verde
property; that demand for copper IS
beyond question on the increase;
that he looks for the last half of
the year to show a large increase
in production over the first half and
further that the consumption will be
fully equal to the production; poll
ticians may try to upset business
conditions, but the fact stares us
fair and square in the face that the
country was probably never in bet
ter condition than it is at present,
and it is going to continue that way;
any attempt to disrupt business con-
ditions will be cessful-Mining

STEPHENS FINED
FOR MINOR OFFENSE
(From FriGay's Daily.)

"
The contemplated trip of Joseph
H. Stephens to California was in
terrupted yesterday afternoon when
he was served with a warrant of
arrest at the depot just as he was
about to board the train for the
Land of Sunshine, Fruit and
Flowers. The charge against him
was violating a municipal ordinance
in discharging firearms within the
city limits on the night of July 3rd-
Stephens was taken before Justice
of the Peace McLane and pleaded
guilty TO the charge, which was
sworn to by County Attorney P. w.
O'Sullivan. He was fined 500,
which sum he Immediately paid.
The arrest of Stephens is the out
come of the shooting scrape in the
Palace saloon the night of the 3rd-
when, after an alteration with Al
bert Springfield, the former whipped
out a revolver and attempted to
shoot the latter, but was prevented
by the interference of John Lindell
and Clarence Stewart. Lindell, how
ever, was shot through the hand
and still carries that member in a
sling.
The witnesses to the attempted
shooting refused, it is said, to come
forward and tell what they knew Of
the affair and that is the reason
given why no more serious charge
was preferred against Stephens.

ANY OLD KIND OF
STAMPS GOOD ON PACKAGES

Considerably with the Inaugural
ton of the C. o. D. feature of the
parcel post goes into effect a reform
OF the postal department which per
mits the placing OF regular letter
postage stamps on the parcel post
packages. These two important
postal reforms went into effect on
July l, and the Prescott postoffice
is prepared to adjust itself to the
changes, according to information
from Postmaster Smith.
Announcement is made from the
postal department that no more
parcel post stamps will be issued,
and when the present supply IS
exhausted letter postage stamps will
be used exclusively on parcel post
matter. That the order providing
for the interchanging of the parcel
post and letter postage stamps was
issued to quickly exhaust the present
supply, is the statement made by
an employe of the postal depart
ment
Considerable complaint has been
made by the people because of the
necessity of using parcel post stamps
on parcel post packages and at the
Inauguration OF the parcel post fea-
ture, the statement was made that
many persons, uniformed of this
necessity, lost their regular letter
postage stamps placed on parcel
post packages. Thus, it is expected
that the order regarding the inter
changing of letter postage stamps
on parcel post packages will be the
more popular OF the two newly in
augurated reforms of the postal
service. In other words, while the
supply of parcel post stamps lasts,
one may use parcel post stamps on
letters and letter postage stamps on
parcel post packages, which has been
prohibited in the past.
The order requiring parcel post
stamps only on parcel post packages
resulted in much confusion. An em-
ploye OF the postal department
stated yesterday that the average
American wanted TO slap the first
kind of stamp coming within his
reach upon his letters or his parcel
post packages, and in doing this he
lost many dollars, the total amount
of which cannot possibly be esti-
mated by the postal department.
Under the new rule, the American
citizen can stick the first kind OF
stamp he secures upon his letter or
package and it will go. The post
office man remarked casually that
he naturally would not want to place
postage due stamp on his package,
and as those are not sold promiscu-
ously he has nothing to fear along
that line.

NEW DEPOT SITE
SELECTED AT JEROME
(From Wednesdays Daily

T. c. Snider, the we'll known con-
tractor, is in the city from Jerome,
and states the United Verde and
Pacific railroad is to change the
location of its depot to a new site
in the vicinity of the old roasting
beds, and about 200 feet below the
elevation now occupied.
A new wagon road is being graded
that will pass in front of the hospital
TO the new depot, and which will
be of much more convenience to
traffic than heretofore.
Mr.. Snider also has force en-
ployed in building a wagon road to
the Little Daisy main working shaft,
which diverts from the same grade
he is building to the site of the new
depot building. Grading at the
smelter in Clarkdale still goes ahead
and the new town is attracting very
much attention from the manner in
which il is being laid out and the
character of construction of the
scores of buildings.

RUN Up YARNELL
NOT INCLUDED IN

Phoenix Men do a Wild
Sprint When TheyHear
Animal Roar.

PHOENlA, July Il.-DetailS OF
a marathon race up Yarnell hill be-
tween Joe Trotter and Frank Hill
derbran of this city, which resulted
in tie, have just been received
by friends of the two men in this
city. 1t wasn't Trotter's or Hill
derbran's fault that they decided to
pull off marathon on such steep
hill as Yarnell. 1t was because of
the belief they were pursued by a
mountain lion.
Trotter and Hilderbran left here
for the Mile High city celebration in
an automobile with Justus Goebel
and Steve Goodman. At the foot OF
Yarnell hill the car was not working
very good and Trotter and Hilder-
bran got out to walk to the top,
thinking they could Tighten the car
a little
The machine sped on up to the
top OF the hill Trotter and Hilder
bran started their long journey on
foot. a few feet from the bottom
a noise was heard on the side OF
the mountain.
What is that, Joe?" asked Hill
derbran.
That's nothing but calf" re-
piled Trotter.
In a few minutes came a louder
noise
Did you hear that" asked Hill
derbran. For the love of Mike,
what is it,"
at might be a bobcat," replied
Trotter, who was becoming as badly
frightened as Hilderbran.
"By jove, l believe that's a noun
tain lion," said Trotter, as he spied
a pair of eyes in the bushes which
resembled two lights on an auto
mobile.
That was enough. The two men
did not stop any longer to ascertain
what kind OF an animal was lying
in the bushes.
The marathon started.
Pursued by the unknown creature,
they ran at top speed over boulders
and through bushes to the car which
awaited at the top. There they got
a six-shooter, but the Zion" had
disappeared.
Though the two MEN were scratch
ed and bruised, the injuries did not
come from the animal pursuing them
They were the result OF many tum-
bles while running up the mountain
in the dead OF night
No doubt Trotter ran the fastest
IN his life if he reached the car at
the same time as Hilderbran, for the
latter always claimed to be a fast
runner The fastest time Trotter
ever made before the incident on
Yarnell hill was in his Buick car.
But the Buick was never known to
go dS last as 1IOll6G ulu III MS race
with Hilderbran.
Friends of the two runners do not
see what in the world made Trotter
and Hilderbran believe there were
mountain lions around Yarnell hill |
Barry Goldwater, who hunted and
trapped before the white man settled
Arizona, says he never saw a lion
around Yarnell hill. He does re-
member, however, of a family set
ting three years ago who had a
house cat and several kittens May
be it was one of those kittens that
frightened Tretter and Hilderbran. |
