SAD DEATH OF MRS. SHOREY.

Yuma Sun: All Yuma was shocked
this morning by the sad news of the
death Of Mrs. Lola N. Shorey, the
beloved wife of w. II. Shorey of the
Yuma Examiner.
Just a few short days ago she was
in the bloom of health, downtown,
laughing and talking with her host
of friends, surrounded by her chill
dren, her home, her husband.
Today, all that is mortal rests in
the casket that soon will shut from
earthly view all that is earthly of
one beloved by all.
'Tis short span from earth to
the great beyond.
Striker down in the full bloom of
womanhood, Mrs. Shorey was, indeed,
one of Natures noble women-a de-
voted wife, loving mother. a
Christian woman.
She was born in Missouri, March
80, 1887. Her parents moved to Yuma
few years afterward, and her ia
ther, Joseph Fl. Day, was for several
years pioneer resident here On
January 18, 1904, she was married to
Mr.. w. H. Shorey, and of this union
two children were born, Ethel Mayme
Shorey, aged g. and Harold Shorey,
aged 91a years.
The deceased also leaves, in addi-
ton to the bereaved husband, six
brothers and sisters, and her mother
and father. One of her sisters, Mrs
Gene Ingram, is well known in
Yuma, and her other brothers and
sisters are now residing in Arkansas,
Missouri and Oregon, while her
father and mother are now living in
Plainview, Ark.

DISPLEASURE
SONS OF THE MIkADO PROTEST
AGAINST ARlZONA'S ALIEN
SESSION.

PHOENIX. Ariz.. May THE
Japanese residents OF Arizona are
to protest vigorously against the pro
posed alien land law, house bill No.
"a, Which passed the house Mon
day and was sent to the senate.
The local Japanese association has
called a meeting for Sunday at 2:30
y. m, when resolutions will probably
be adopted. A general mass meeting
of the Japanese of the state will be
held here May Is, when an address
will be given by Y humane, Japan
ese consul at San Francisco
For long time the Japanese paid
no attention whatever to Arizona S
alien land law, which prevents any
one not a citizen, or who has not
declared his intention to become a
citizen, from acquiring title to real
hibits aliens holding real property
under lease for a period longer than
five years
This law was enacted at the first
session of the legislature. 1t has been
in full force and effect but no one
paid any attention to it until it came
up again in the form of a code meas
ure. In the meantime an interna-
tional furore had been aroused over
CALIFORNIA; s proposed alien land law,
aimed directly at the Japanese.
The fact that Arizona had a statute
which made California's proposed law
look pale and aneamic in comparison
was published throughout the United
States 1t was rather expected that
some kind of a protest would be
made. but it was slow in coming.
O. Tanaaka, secretary of the local
Japanese association, recently OBJ
tanned a copy of house bill No.34
He Immediately wrote Consul Nu-
mano, at San Francisco. The consul
Immediately advised Tanaaka to call
a meeting and forward a protest to
Sidney P. Osburn, secretary of state.
A copy, he stated, should be sent to
Viscount Chinda. Japanese am
bassador at Washington, so that the
Japanese government could take the
matter up formally with Uncle Sam
By next Sunday the legislature
probably will have adjourned The

SAN DIEGO TO EL PAsO RACE.

PHOENIX, May 6.-Enthuiastic en-
dOrsementS were entered Monday
night by the Maricopa Auto club for
the proposed motor race to Phoenix
from Ell Paso and San Diego, and in
the general discussion it was decided
to let the Los Angeles to Phoenix
desert road race rest a year with the
Republican cup. in the possession of
the present holder, Ralph Hamlin.
The subject of races was uppermOst
in the minds of all auto men present,
and when it was brought up by the
announcement that The Arizona Re-
publican is in negotiations with the
El Paso papers proposing to give a
cup and promote road race from
that city the enthusiasm knew no
bounds
The Ell Paso-to-Phoenix road race
has been a topic of interesting con
VerSatiOn in motor circles for some
time. Since Los Angeles left the
Automobile association and
formed the Western Automobile as
sociatiOn. 1t has been pretty well
that the Republican cup
race this fall would be dropped-at
least for "a year.

MONEY CAME TOO LATE.

1t appears that as a result Of ap-
parent carlessness on the part OF the
Western Union Telegraph company
that corporation has laid itself liza
BILE to suit for damages by the
General Securities company. The
latter company on Thursday of last
week sent by telegraph the sum of
$3.50 from San Francisco to Thomas
MarmOunt, who represents the com
pany's interests here. The money
was not received by the local Of
flee until about D. IN. on Friday
The funds were to be used by Mar
mount in paying off the judgment Sc
cured by r. c. Saufley, on assigned
claims, in the local justice court,
and prevent the sale OF the attached
property of the Arizona Empire Cop
per Mines company.
The General Securities company
claim to hold an option on the Ari-
zOna Empire, and one of the terms OF
the option specifies that it shall be
come null and void if any part of the
property is ever sold for debt For
this reason, it is said, the company
may have valid action for damages
against the Western Union, because
on account Of the delay in transmit
ting the money the property attach
cd was sold Friday noon, having beer
bought in by G. C. Dunn for the sum
of $34O, the amount of the Judgment
and costs of suit and sale Mr. Mar
mount refused to accept the money
after it had arrived too late to be of
any benefit in saving the company's

which the valley enjoys as a result
OF the huge levee that is nearing

Business men and rancherS of the

BLYTHE, Calf, May 7.-Whe-
ther or not the people of Palo
Verde Valley are willing to contribute
toward a bonus for a railroad into
the valley is to be determined within
the next few weeks by committee
appointed at a meeting of the Chamb
er of Commerce last Saturday night
The enormous volume of freight
consigned to the valley during the
past six months has awakened the
business men and ranchers to the
Importance of taking some immediate
action toward better transportation
service and it is granted that q rail
road into the valley is the only ul
innate solution of this question
Members of the Blythe commercial
body believe that preliminary work
toward a railroad should be begun
at once. No definite line of action
was mapped out but a committee was

the land owners. If, after a careful
investigation, it is learned that Palo
Verdeans will contribute toward a
bonus, steps will be taken to raise
such a bonus.
1t is estimated that a contribution
OF 81 per acre by every person own
ing land would make a sum suffic-
lent to make a railroad realty
Many large landowners have already
expressed themselves in favor of
such a plan as it is certain an invest
ment of 81 per acre in this manner
would return manifold in the greatly
increased land values that follow the
building of railway

1t is reported that the Parker I'm
prOvement company has just closed
a deal whereby the plant of the Par
ker Ice & Cold Storage company, to-
gether with water and electric light
ing franchises, is to be taken over
by the new company at an early date
No confirmation of the sale could
be obtained by this paper, but Satur-
days issue of the Arizona Gazette
contained a lengthy article regarding
the sale. 1t has been known for
some time that the Parker Improve
ment company, a corporation organ
ized by w. Fl. Tharpe, and associates,
has been after the property for some
months. Recently, it is stated, a
large payment was made by the
aforesaid company.
The principal stock holders in the
Parker Ice & Cold Storage company
are A. S Prescott of this city, d. j.
Peter, B. M. Fuqua and c. w. Mckee
of Phoenix. These gentlemen are
also heavy stockholders in the Par
ker Commercial company.
After giving particulars of the
deal, the Gazette concludes:
''The Parker Improvement com
pany, of which w. H. Tharpe is the
live wire. and who has worked inces-
sanity for many months to bring this
deal to a successful consummation,
represents Arizona capital from Bis
bee. The new company is to be
congratulated on acquiring this valu-
able holding, jut as success is as
sured for the entire agricultural prop
erty in this section. At Parker lies
the largest, richest and most wonder

with this amount and with what was
expected from other sources, suffic
lent money would be raised to defray
all expenses.
Subscriptions were received from
two parties who have no interests
here at. all, except that they expect
to come here and locate when the
reservation is open to- settlement.
One was from A. S. Chestnut OF Red
lands, and the other from John

and noticing the recent articles III
these columns giving particulars OF
the matter. they generously came for
ward with subscriptions OF $500
each. 1t is this class OF citizens that
Parker wants, and when the time
comes they will be warmly welcomed
within our gates.
The committee also received a
highly encouraging letter from Mr.
NJ w. Corners, OF Detroit, Mich,
another constant reader of The Post
Mr.. Conners believed in the matter
of sending a special representative
to Washington just $2500 worth,
which amount he enclosed with
his letter.
A communication was also received
from Frank NJ Murphy, president OF
the S. F., p. & p Railroad company.
Mr.. Murphy is now in New York and
wrote that he would be glad to COOP
crate with Mr.. Prescott upon his ar
rival in Washington. AS Mr. Murphy
has large and Influential acquaint-
ance at the national capital his as
sistance in the matter will be Of
great Importance to the success OF
getting action at this session.
The local people have subscribed
very literally, only sman portion Of
property owners deciding not to come
into the bandwagon and boost for the
early opening of the lands.

will arrive there before Monday, on
which day he expects to get busy on
the bill providing for the opening of
the Colorado River reservation lands
under the Carey Act.
Mr.. Prescott has promised to in
form the people Interested in the
opening of these rich agricultural
lands as developments progress
through the columns, of the Post His
first work will be to hold a confer
ence with members of the Arizona
congressional delegation to decide up
on the proper course to pursue in
boosting the bill through this sess-
ion. For the next month he will de-
vote all of his energies toward get
ting the bill reported out of CON-

In this he will be ably assisted by

expenses of trip is again published
this week, together with number OF
new contributors who made donations

to date the subscriptions to this fund
total $676.5O, and it is expected that
at least $75 or 500 more will be re-
ceiyed before the list is finally
closed
One of the most encouraging
events of the past week to the
members of the finance committee
was the receipt of telegram
Monday from W. Fl. Tharpe, who au-
