MANY ENJOY
"FISH FRY "

A jolly social event took place the
23rd. when gay party gathered on
the banks of the Colorado for an old
fashioned 'fish fry" While some of
the party lined the river catching
the needed fish, others struck camp,
and was made welcome at the pump
house. near the big railroad bridge,
which is in charge of P Tisdale.
Under his magic touch a few rough
| boards was turned into an elegant
| buffet upon which to serve lunch, a
piece of sheet iron, some rocks, and
an old wheel barrow became a wood
range where he fried the fresh fish
an appetizing brown. His mammoth
boiler provided the hot water to make
delicious coffee. and with the con-
tents of the ladies' baskets, a spread
| was laid which could not be sur
passed.
The stiff breeze which came up um-
invited only added to the hilarity of
the occasion, as all enjoyed chasing
the paper napkins and holding their
plates down with one hand, while
eating with the other, and while one
gallant young man was busy waiting
On the ladies his plate, loaded to- the
Drim. completely disappeared
The Colorado yielded good sup
ply OF fish for the feast. as many
noted anglers were present
Some monstrOus fish stories were
told, one man claiming his wife had
eaten 81 cat fish, tails and all, but
Of course no one believed such tale
The party was arranged for the
amusement OF some out Of town
guests, among them being Mrs Dren-
nan, Mrs. Drake and, Mrs Grier Of
Los Angeles; And thanks to the un-
firing kindness of Mr.. and Mrs. Tils-
dale it was most happy evening
for all. Those attending were: Mr.
and Mrs. l.. White, Mr. and Mrs W.
Marten, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Martin, Mr..
and Mrs. P. Tisdale, Mr.. and Mrs.
Reed, Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzgerald Mes

whole country. Virginia and Massa-

especially Michigan and Wisconsin,
having permitted destruction of their
resources, have no just claim to make
on Colorado or Oregon.
Times have changed No State in
the Union, nor all of them combined
are wider awake or more Watchful
of waste than is the state of Arizona,
and Colorado, New Mexico and Wash
ington. The Government may have,
and in fact has, permitted unpardon-
able waste of Arizonass natural
wealth, but Arizona is not and has
not been guilty. Under the benefic-
ent power of the people, exercised
through the referendum of all quest
ionable legislative acts to the elector-
ate, there is no need of your fear
that we cannot protect ourselves
against aggressions of individual or
corporate greed. Better far to trust
the people to protect themselves a
gainst cormOrants that would cOnsum
or waste their substance than to
leave their guardianship i'm the hands
of an ill-advised and too often care

MANY DONATE LITERALLY
TO BOARD OF TRADE FUND

Money Collected in Few Days to Insure
Success of Trip to Washington, DC.

their interests held in the town with
those held by many who failed to
come across with anything. To these
generously disposed parties the com
mittee decided not to accept anything
more than their proportion. One no.
table instance was the case of Mar
tin Baker, who offered to contribute
$500. However, only $1,000 was ac,
cepted from Mr.. Baker and even this
latter amount is considered a most
generous donation considering Mr.
Bakers holdings in the town, which
idence lots.
Judge Frank W. Overs of Coronado
Cal, also responded generously by
informing the committee that he
would give $25.00 if necessary, but
the committee believed that a $1,000
contribution from the judge would be
sufficient for the present.
1t has not been the purpose of the
committee to seek large contributions
but rather to give everybody an op-
pOrtunity to contribute according to
their interests in the matter How
ever, in view Of the fact that many
holding large interests refuse to sup
port the movement it necessarily fol
lows that others will be compelled to
contribute more than their just share
in order to make up the deficiency
caused by the doubling brethren
who prefer to await the leisure of
the Washington officials in opening
the reservation.
If anyone has been overlooked it
is the desire of the committee that
they come forward with whatever
contributions they feel disposed to
make The official list is at the Par
ker Bank & Trust company, and Mr..
Dunn is always ready to receive con
tributions.
1t is Mr.. A. S. Prescott's intention
to depart for Washington Oh the
morning OF the 9Th OF May, making
connection with the limited at Ash
Fork on the evening of the same day.
Ho will remain in the nationah capital
as long as his funds hold out, or
until such time as the bill now pend

the earliest possible date so as to get
the matter reported favorably to the
senate.
In matters of legislation affecting
ary community the committees i'm
congress always grant respectful
hearings to accredited representa-
tives, and in every case which has
come under our observation from
reading numerous reports of hear
ings before these committees where
the proposed legislation showed merit
relief has always been granted. With
the backing of the Arizona delega-
tion Mr.. Prescott should find little
Or no trouble in getting favorable ac-
tion on the Parker bill at this session
OF congress.
This paper is of the opinion that
many who have expressed their be-
lief that a special representative
could accomplish nothing towards
Fastening action on the Parker bid
are sincere, but We believe their
Judgment is at fault. In fact every
thing favors the sending of a repre-
sentative, and while it is possible
that nothing definite will be accom-
plished at this session, it stands to
reason that when a community of
people pray for relief at the hands OF
congress such relief will be granted
sooner or later and is bound to be
hastened if one goes after it person
ally, instead of sitting supinely by
and awaiting the pleasure of the
lawmakers.

While the fund which is being rails
ed to send special representative to
Washington for the purpose of urging
the passage of the bill providing for
the opening of the Colorado River
reservation lands to settlement still
falls short of the amount necessary
for the trip, the finance committee
Of the Board of Trade has strong
hopes Of raising the required amount
within the next few days
Practically everyone owning in
terests in Parker have been solicited
for contributions to the fund Many
have responded handsomely, while
there were many who refused to give
any financial aid to the proposed trip.
The reasons assigned by those who
did not contribute were generally the
same-that such mission would re-
suit in no material good being ac.
complished. However, as the major
ity of the people believe that the
course intended to be pursued by
sending such representative is the
only logical thing to do at this time,
the refusal of the minority to con-
tribute their share is not going to
deter those in favor of the proposit-
ion to successfully carry out the plan
adopted at a recent meeting of the
Board of Trade and citizens.
The letters and contributions re-
ceived from non-residents have been
highly encouraging and gratifying to
the committee having in charge the
raising of the funds. In every case
those who have responded to the
committees appeal for money to
finance the trip the course that is
being pursued has been highly COM
mended. Many stated that a special
representative from here should have
been sent to Washington long ago.
They express the belief that if this
had been done the reservation would
have been opened before now.
Be that as it may, it is never to
late to mend, and it is confidently
believed by those who are taking an
active interest in the matter that the
next few days will result in raising
the balance required for the success
full accomplishment of the proposed
mission.
Many local and outside contributors
have expressed themselves to the
effect that if sufficient money could
not be raised with their present do
nations they We're willing to increase
them in order that there would be
no possibility of failure on this ac-
count. There We're also a number
who offered to make much larger
contributions than would have been
their just proportion compared with

Definite Recommendations.

From a letter received by this
paper few days ago from Senator
Henry F. Ashurst, who also enclosed
a letter addressed to him from the
office of Indian Affairs, under date
/ Of April Is, it appears that Mr. Pres
colts visit to Washington is most
opportune from every point of view.
The departmental communication is
in reply to one from Mr.. Ashurst
transmitting copy of S. 1874 and
asking an immediate report OH the
same, and Acting Commissioner F.
II. Abbt tt states therein that a rep
nesentative of the Indian Office re-
Gently visited the Colorado River res
turn to Washington would report up
on the conditions and needs of the
Indians Until such time as his re-
turn to the capital the report would
be held up in order that the depart
ment could be in position to make
definite recommendation that will
cover all of the requirements of the
situation. The representative, ac-
cording to Mr. Abbots letter, is eX-
pected to arrive there soon after
May l.
1t will be remembered that Mr.
A NJ Cf oh of of n
bureau, was in Parker few weeks
ago, and at the time of his visit here
a committee of representative citiZ-
ems held a conference with him at
the hHme of Superintendent O. l..
Babcock, at the Indian school. Mr.
Armstrong was exceedingly we'll
pleased with conditions as he found
them on the reservation, and ap
peared to strongly favor the early
opening OF the unallotted reservation
lands. AS Mr. Prescott will arrive
in Washington only few days after
be enabled to urge that gentleman
to make his report as quickly as pos
sible, and there is no doubt but that
he will also be enabled to enlist Mr..
Armstrong; hearty support in the
matter.
From the department the report
will go to the committee ON Indian
affairs in the senate, and Mr.. Pres
cott will be there to see that he gets
a hearing before that committee at
