INJURED IN RUNAWAY.

w. H. Tharpe of Prescott, accom-
panied by F. M. Cole and l. w. Wal
lace of Bisbee, started for a drive
through a portion Of the reservation
Wednesday morning in one of John
Roberts rigs. When about thirteen
miles down the valley one Of the
horses succeeded in getting the bit
out of it's mouth and started to run
away John Hall, the driver, was un
able to get the team under control
and advised the occupants to jump
which they did. Hall landed safely
but Messrs. Tharpe, Cole and Wal
lace sustained various injuries in
their efforts to reach terra firma
Mr.. Tharpe and Mr.. Cole were in
jured in the right heel. The latter
also received abrasions on his right
side and face, and possibly fractur-
ed one rib. Mr.. Wallace did things
to the toes on his right foot, but
otherwise escaped INJURY. All ol
.he gentlemen showed a considerable
limp after returning to town.
Two cowboys succeeded in captur-
ing the runaway team, and the party
continued the journey which had
been planned for the day. Nothing
about the rig or harness had been
broken, and the only loss suffered
was a seat and the lunch which had
been prepared for the members OF
the party. The seat was afterward
recovered, but the lunch was prob
ably dainty morsel for some hungry
COYOTE.

BURGLAR VISITS TOWN.

At an early hour Monday morn
ing the City Drug Store, owned by
C. A. Marsh, and B. r. Browns pool
hail were entered and burglariZed.
At both places the thief entered by
means of a window, breaking the
glass so that the catch could be Op-
Grated and the window opened from
the outside.
At the City Drug Store the mid
night visitor secured about $35 from
he cash register, besides a quantity
OF old coins, which Mr.. Marsh kept
as souvenirs in one Of the cOmpart-
ments of the register. At this place
the back window was also broken,
bat evidently the burglar was unable
70 raise the sash after releasing the
inside catch. In the front of the drug
store, however, he succeeded in gain
ing entrance.
At B. B. Browns place the thief
secured entrance through a side win
dow. He was disappointed, however,
IN getting any cash here, but made
off with a quantity of soft drinks,
and two watches of small value.
Nc clue has been secured as to
the identity Of the guilty party, but
lhe authorities in both directions
from Parker along the Santa Fe rail
II ad have been notified to look out
for suspicious characters.

WANT MONEY
TO DRILL WELL
BILL INTRODUCED IN LEGISLA-
TuRE BY Preventative T.
M.DRENNAN FOR EXPERIMENT
TAI WELL NEAR WENDEN.

Wednesday Representative T. M.
brennan introduced in the state leg
islature a bill making an appropria-
ton for the sinking of an experiment
tai artesian we'll in the Harqua Hala
district, northern Yuma county, in
the vicinity of Wenden, sixty miles
east of Parker. There are few places
in Arizona that can compare with the
country around Wenden for agricul-
tural lands, but UP to the present it,
development has been retarded on
account of a lack of water for irriga-
ton purposes. While pelnty of wa
ter can be secured at depths varying
from 40 to 100 feet, as yet no one
has attempted to do any extensive
farming in that section.
1t has been contended by many
who have investigated water condi-
tions in that vicinity that there
is every. indication for an al
tcsian flow if sufficient capital could
be interested in making the expert
mcnt. At the last session of the leg
islature an appropriation of $4,000
was made for an experimental arte-
sian we'll in the Casa Grande valley,
and taking this piece Of legislation
as precedent the people Of north
ern Yuma county are asking the leg
islature to make a similar appropria-
ton for the Wenden country
Experiments have demonstrated
that there is quite an underfloW OF
water in the HarQua Hala district.
In the mountains surrounding the val
ley there are numerous springs, and
it is believed that we'll sunk to a
depth of 500 or 1000 feet would as
sure an artesian flow
If arteSian water can be secured in
that part of northern Yuma county
it would be the means-of attracting
hundreds of settlers to these lands,
and it is proper that the state should
make an appropriation for an expert
mental we'll.

WORKING FOR
HIGH SCHOOL

BLYTHE, Calf, April 17.-The
school trustees of Blythe district
this week took steps toward the for
nation of a union high school dis
trict comprising all of the Palo Verde
valley included in Riverside county.
Whether the trustees of the other
districts interested will consent to
such a union has not been learned,
but it is thought that there will be
no serious objection as the establish
ment Of high school in the valley
Is recognized to be the next import
ant step toward better school facili-
ties.
The attendance requirement for
such district is 100 pupils, and it
will be ascertained this week wheth-
er the three districts can muster this
enrolment
No effort will be made to construct
a high school building the first year
if such a district is formed, but a
high school teacher will be employed
and building secured in one of the
three districts for class rooms.
Instances have been cited during
the past year Of land buyers who
failed to invest in valley land on ac-
count of the lack of a high school
here. This and the fact that there
will be several eighth grade pupils
graduated this year, are mentioned
as important reasons why a district
should be formed. 1t is recognized
that unless the three districts form
a union there will be little hope of
getting a high school here for sew
eral years.
The local school trustees have COM
with the school boards of
the other districts regarding the mat
ter and their consent will likely open
the way for an immediate election
to decide the question.

ASSESSOR IN PARKER.

A. B. Ming, county assessor, Wis
tied Parker Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week Assessor Ming is
making his annual tour of northern
Yuma county for the purpose Of max
ing up the 1913 tax roll, and he is
letting no one escape. From here he
will visit Swansea and Bouse and
other sections in this end of the
county.
According to the new method of
assessment both real and personal
property must be put in at its actual
cash value This will necessarily in
crease the valuation of the county to
an appreciable extent. Mr. Ming es-
Inmates that the assessment roll will
run between SIS, 100000 and $20,OO0,-
900. Last years valuation was ap-
proximately $4,6O0,OOO, and the tax
rate was $3.50 outside of Yuma city,
which was $4.O1.
The Arizona & California, one of
the branch lines of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, comes in for assessment this
year. This will increase northern Yu
ma county's valuation about 81 800,
0OO
The cash value plan Of assessment
will lower the rate to a great eX-
tent, and Mr. Ming is of the opinion
that the board will levy from 80 cts.
to $1.25 per hundred.

RATES ON ORE
AGREED UPON

tentative agreement has been
entered into between the Santa Fe
and other lines and the Copper Queen
Cons. Mining company for cheaper
rates on ore from Parker and points
west of here to the Douglas smelter.
While the rates have not as yet been
published it is understood that appli-
cation has already been made by the
railroads asking the corporation com
mission to make an order for their
immediate effect
H. ]. Bishop, ore buyer for the
Copper Queen smetler, spent We'd
nesday and Thursday here, and sta
ted that his company was in the flied
for the purchase of ores in this dis
trict. The carbonate ores of the
districts surrounding Parker are es-
pecially desired by the Copper Queen
people, and it is understood that the
company is making a law rate on
these ores in order to secure them
The proposed new rates from Par
ker to Douglas are as follows: On
SIS ore, $4.O0; 500 ore, $3.50; 5000
ore, 5y25; so Gre, 100; 1900 to 10000
ore, $50
The rate from Vidal is 25 cents per
ton higher than the above, and from
Blythe Jc. the rate is so cents per
ton higher than the Parker rates. The
Minigan rates are Is cents higher,
except on $500 and 10000 ore, which
take LOO per ton more than the rate
from this point
Dunn & Potter will ship their first
carload Of ore next week to the
Douglas smetler, and it is likely that
there will be a number of shippers
in this section who will hereafter
ship to Douglas now that the rates
are within reach

DELEGATE
SELECTED
A. S. PRESCOTT WILL GO TO MA
TlONAL CAPITAL TO URGE THE
PASSAGE OF BILL PROVIDING
FOR OPENING RESERVATION.

At we'll attended and enthusias-
tic meeting of the board of trade
and citizens of Parker held Thurs
day evening in the postoffice build
ing it was the unanimous opinion of
those present that the time lis OppOr
tune for the sending of a duly ac-
credited representative from this
place to Washington for the purpose
of working for the passage of the
bill providing for the opening of the
unallotted lands of the Colorado In
dian reservation under the state and
national Carey land acts.
After the question of sending a
representative was fully discussed it
was decided to Immediately select
a man for the place. A. S. Pres
colt was put in nomination and he
was unanimously elected No bet
ter man could have been named by
the board of trade for this important
work, and The Post feels confident
that he will succeed in his mission.
Mr. Prescott is thoroughly versed
with the situation and the steps
which are necessary for the ultimate
opening of the lands to settlement,
He has an influential acquaintance
among Texas representatives, as we'll
as with the members of the Arizona
delegation, and this will materiall.
assist him in his work.
After the selection of a delegate
was accomplished the matter Of fl
nancing the proposed trip came up
A committee of three was named by
President G. C. Dunn to solicit sub
scriptions and it was decided to get
into communication with everyone
who has interests here and ask fol
financial assistance. 1t will require
at least $500 to finance the trip OF
the representative and everyone is
urged to contribute according to
his means The following committee
has charge of collecting and solicit
ing funds: G. C. Dunn, chairman
G. A. Marsh and J. B. Flanagan.
Bill introduced in Congress.
The Post is in receipt Of letter
from Senator Henry F. Ashurst. un
der date of April u, in which the
senator states that he reintrOduceG
the bill providing for the opening o.
the lands of the reservation on Apri
Z, the first day of the special SEES
sion. Senator Ashurst also enclosed
a number of copies of the bill, which
is Identical in text with the one in.
troduced in the last congress. The
number of the bill is S. l43. AS there
is no manifest objections to this bill
it is fully believed that it can be
gotten through during the special
session. Congressman Carl Hayden
in all probability, has also introduced
the same bill in the house, but as
yet this paper is in receipt of nt
definite information to this effect.

TO IRRIGATE
$4,000 ACRES
DESERT ENTRYMEN AT RAN
NELLLS PLANNING TO PUMP
WATER FOR MESA AND VAL
LEY LAND.

Following the meeting of a num-
Der of entrymen holding filings on
land west and south of Rannells at
Los Angeles last week definite steps
nave been taken toward a project to
supply water for about 10000 acres
by means of a mammoth pumping
plant.
Whether the water will be pumped
from Palo Verde lagoon or a series
of wells installed along the foot of
the mesa west of Rannells is a point
that has not been determined. 1t
is understood that a majority of the
entrymen favor the former plan.
Messrs. Code and Quinton, engi-.
neers of Los Angeles, have been re-
tanned to investigate the project and
will report on it's feasibility within
the next few weeks. 1t is under
stood that the entrymen interested
have plenty of financial backing to
carry the project through to compile
ton if favorable report is made
by The engineers.
Mrs. J. B. Hinckley is said to have
a filing on water in Palo Verde
slough amounting to 10000 inches
this lagoon her rights Will be taken
HVcI by the Rannells-Mesa Irrigation
association.
Surveys of the land involved have
already been made. If the scheme
to take the water from the slough is
t nally adopted a pumping plant will
be installed at point about a mile
south of Rannells The water. will
be carried directly west from this
point and lifted 140 feet to the mesa
where it will flow by gravity several
miles both north and south. Reser-
voirs will likely be built on the mesa
for storage purposes. These prelim-
mary plans are all subject to the ap-
proval of the engineers, Messrs. Code
and Quinton.
This project, which has been un-
der consideration for some time, is
backed by large number of entry
men in the Rannells district The
cost has not been determined accur-
ately, but those interested say that
it will be much less than for many
similar projects that are being Oper-
ated successfully.
