There is no money in the beaver
business as is now clearly apparent t..
two Delta boys-Harry Duling and
Clinton Barker, the trappers, and
Leung Chung. the Chinese merchant at
the foot of Eaton avenue in this city,
who purchased the hides.
Deputy Game Warden Mccoy of
Gunnison and Sheriff Sampson of this
city got wind" of the beaver doings
in some manner and were soon on the
trail of the trappers with the result
that they and the Chinese merchant
were placed under arrest last Friday
Chung gave bond for appearance at
hearing in the county court at 10
o'clock Saturday morning but the boys
defaulted in this legal transaction and
were held in the county Jail.
All three were arraigned in court
Saturday morning when the trappers
merchant pronounced himself guilty.
A jury trial was demanded and the
case set for hearing at 10 o'clock on
Monday when Attorney NJ. r. Welch
appeared for the people and Millard
Fairlamb for the defendants.
There were six beautiful hides
found in the possession of Leung
Chung on exhibit in the court room as

time even IL we were rather oddly
dressed for one OF those particularly
swell functions" The lad stated that
he and his friends were little late
applying at the entrance for admis-
sion having attended the basketball
game and the door keeper, seeing
them rather roughly dressed remarked
that the ball was a strictly invitation
and full dress affair. The party then
began to have doubts about taking
part in the festivities of that occasion.
But one OF the l,elta boys put the
query that brought the desired results:
you don't expect us to come down
here and play football and basketball
and have full dress togs with us do
you?" They passed right in and had
jolly good time until the very finish.

President DeliV-
erS His Message

President Wilson again read his
message to congress Tuesday after
noon.
Beginning. the president expressed
his satisfaction that the United States
was at peace with the world. He said:
There is only one possible standard
by which TO determine controversies
between the United States and any
other foreign nation. and that is com
pounded of these two elements: Our
own honor and our obligations TO the
peace of the world. A test SO COM
pounded ought easily to be made to
govern both the establishment of new
treaty obligations end the interpre-
tation OF those already assumed.
The Mexican situation was express
ed as the one cloud upon our horizon
President Wilson stated that there can
be no hope OF peace until General
Huerta has surrendered his usurped
authority. The United States Is the
champion of constitutional govern
ment. but Huerta by making himself
dictator has shown himself as the
enemy OF legal and social right Even
II he were successful in his attempt to
be dictator OF Mexico. his power would
be only transitory and would involve
the unfortunate country in further
turmoil. Even now his power is
crumbling and the United States must
continue her policy of watchful waiting.
The time is not far distant when con-
stitutional order will be established
by the Merican leaders who prefer the
liberty OF the people to their own am
bitions.
The matter of Fastening the pas
sage OF the currency bill was urged
upon congress. President Wilson
pointed out the benefit which the cur
rency bill will be to the farmers.
In the event of its passage, this
class will be upon equal footing with
men engaged in other business for the
farmers can then secure credit more
easily. The vital part which the agri-
cultural industry plays in the upbuild-
ing Of our country was pointed out
and the necessity OF helping the far-
mer especially urged. A commission
is now studying the systems Of rural
credit in Europe in order to help the
farmer along this. line. The recent
work OF the national treasury and
agricultural department to facilitate
the money for crops. was pointed out
as being a step in the right direction.
In speaking OF private monopoly In
business. President Wilson said that
the sherman antitrust law should
stand as Il is at present, but the details
should be more carefully considered.
New acts OF legislation should be
passed to facilitate the laws admins
tratiou and make II more equitable to
all concerned.
The president also urged that laws
BIS passed doing away with the power
of the party convention to select NOM
inees for the presidency. Instead the
right OF such selection should be given
through direct primaries to the people
The law, II passed. however, should
provide for the retention OF party con-
yentions which would merely accept
the verdict OF the primaries and for
mulate the platforms Of the parties.

 To Make 1t

Thursday afternoon will witness the plucky little Maroons tieing into the Temple sluggers at the new park at the corner of Grant and First while the home team journeys to Mesa to see about winning another game from the Hnlbilies. who are some hitting team themselves.
 The fans are looking forward to the game here in the hope that the Natives who have been playing gilt edged ball all season will cop one game and cease running in the duck egg column Of the standing. They figure that the angora of the Tempe tossers has been annexed sufficiently well to warrant the Maroons in an ticipating victory and annexing it at the game
 Work on the park is being contfnu- ed by Manager Yates. It is hoped to be able in a short time to increase the size If the grandstand and to put in some bleachers. If the games are as well attended as the one was Sunday not only will an addition to the grand stand be needed but also .. with accent on the some.
 The interest among the local fans in the progress of the league is mounting every day, before the end of the season is at hand it is likely that a thousand attendance, which was something unheard of in this section will be the regular thing at the Thursday afternoon games.
 The batteries for the game here have not yet been announced but it is known tEat Tempe was never short of pitching material They have in Oviedo one of the best pitchers in this section of the country, to say nothing of Smiling Spikes, who will rank high in anybOdy's company.
 The locals will take both Honest John Kelly and Busted Mitt Bill with them to Mesa so as to cinch the vic tory and take first place in the lea que for good. There are three con tingencies that may arise from the series of games, Thursday. If PhOe- nix wins. the team cinches top place, unless Tempe wins also when the tie will cohtinue. If the Maroons win and Mesa wins, Mesa will take the top place with Phoenix and Tempe tied for second place. If Tempe wins and Mesa wins Phoenix will go into third place So it isn't all over but the shouting.
