The liner 'Imperator," which was launched in May, 1912, made it's maiden voyage from Hamburg, Germany, to New York recently. and is now regu- larIv engaged in the transatlantic ser vice This is one of the three largest ships afIoat, being exceeded in size on lv bv the '.Vaterland" and the "Aqui- tania" In the construction and equip ment of the 'Imperator" thorough pro- vision has been made not only for the comfort and convenience of the pasSen- gers but for their safety. The hull IS divided by steel bulkheads into 36 wa tertight compartments, which are still further divided by the steel decks, glV- ing the ship a cellular construction throughout. The vessel carries S3 life boats. enough to accommodate every one aboard. Two of these lifebOats are motor driven and are designed for tow ing the others.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
 AT Y' SUNDAY P. M.
A. C. DeckIeman Will Deliver Ad- dress on "The Word Around
 the World"

The Word Around the World" is the subject of an illustrated lecture - whic will be given by MT A c. Deckelman at the Y. M. c. A. on sunday afternoon. This will be an open meeting, both men and wom- en being cordially invited. The hour has been set at 5.45 D. m. It is cool CT q this time of day and the lee ture will be over in time to allow those who so desire to attend the union services on the plaza.
 MT. Deckelman is a Colporteur- Missionary connected with the American Baptist Publication Socie- ty, his territory being the state of Arizona. He was formerly connect with the American Bible society and worked in San Francisco among ninety mine different nationaIities. Here he had the opportunity of studying social and religious cOndi- tions among the foreign people in America and in his lecture he touches on many social problems of the day.
 The substance of MT. Deckelman's talk is on the power of the Bible it's influence on the people of the whole world-its distribution. 120 slides are used which picture the ac- tuaI work in connection with the distribution of Bibdles. MT. Deck elman also touches on this history of the Bible in this country.

The Y. M. C. A. eX- tends a cordial invitation to every one to come. Sunday evening at 5:45.

three and four crops of alfalfa have been known to have been cut from farms.
 Assessor Ming stated that some city lct~ were assessed at $250 Ter front foot in the town of Yuma which has a population of about 4000 people. From the figures it was drawn out that Yuma also has a high priced range stock horse, high priced range animals, because they average better there, said assessor Ming than did the broom tails of the northern part of the state. The increase in the banks. brought the total up to twice and a little over that of last year.
 It developed however that Asses sor Campbell of Yavapai knew where seven thousand head of cattle that were unknown to Assessor Ming were located These are said to be on the Colorado reservation, but more than likely have been assessed in other counties.
 The sessions will continue today. Maricopa will be up and the fun is expected to be fast and furious. The list of property holders and transfers together with the values that have been paid for land is in possession of Campbell of YaVapai and he expects to use it to force the values in Maricopa up from $69-- coo. .OO0 which it now totals.

 There was d great deal of interest expressed around the Grand Circuit in the Arizona State Fair, the xcel- lent race track out here, and the chances of getting in on the $29.5OO in purses that will be hung Jfp as prizes for the winning horses. And it is more than likely that here will be an influx of headliners of the racing game in Phoenix for next fair such as has not been seen before
 Already there has been the promise of a number of fine harness horses for the harness races of fair week Another matter that attracted atten- tion was the automobile races, es- pecially the road races, of which the effete east has heard a great deal. Of course c. B. Wood immediately told all about it and more publicity re- suited. He explained that a road race in Arizona was no sociability run, but a sure enough race over the country roads at breakneck speed. Additional result. More publicity. Further result, more people here fair week. All of this is fine
 c. B. Wood went down to his desk in the fair offices immediately after arrival and put in a good days work getting a strangle hold on the work that has accumulated since his de- parture. While away MT Wood took occasion to visit the old home in

THIRD DAY IF
 CONFERENCE
Graham, Greenlee, Santa Cruz and Yuma on Grid iron. Maricopa Comes Today. Who Is the ; Goat?

The third day of the tax confer ence saw four counties examined and finished, Graham, Greenlce Santa Cruz and Yuma, with the promise of Maricopa county and excitement to- day With the end of the third day of the conference six counties re- main to be examined eight having passed through the examination mill.
 With the opening of the conference yesterday morning Graham county was on the stand, the examination having been left at town and city lots when an adjournment was taken the day before Beginning where the evenings session had closed the ex- aminatio of D. D. Phillips and Chairman D. b Merrill of the board of supervisors. Every phase of me thod in reaching valuation was in qujle ed into before the two officials were allowed to leave the stand
 Greenlee followed Graham and some fun began shortly after in a spat between the cattlemen and the or'Cr growers of the upper reaches of the Gila. The complaint was made that in assessing cultivated land the owner had put in as culti- vatcd all the land along the river bank, which is fenced. in many places, and had returned the hill land as waste land. This waste land it was claimed was being held to keep the cattlemen from the river, by the farmers. However it was shown that the government has SeV- eral thousands of acres on the river bank all open, through which the access of the cattle to the river for water can be had.
 Maricopa was supposed to follow Greenlee, but waived it's right in be- half of Santa Cruz and Yuma, which were taken up in the after noon. The increases in valuation in these counties were inquired into. Several of the county officials laid for Yuma county as this county has reported high land valuation In more than one instance the value of farm lands in the valley has been placed as high as $500 per acre. Chairman Elliott in explaining this said that the reason the land was so valuable in Yuma was because they could raise so many crops per year there.
 He cited the instance of five acres of alfalfa seed going 1900 pounds to the acre and while this was not the general run, there were many cases of 1000 pounds while the average was above 800 pounds every year. In addition to the two crops of seed

LURE OF TREASURE HUNTING
For the Sake Of Romance and Adven-
ture Do Not Discourage the
Seeker of Treasure.

For the sake of romance and ad-
venture and all that puts color into
life 1t is to be hoped that the failure
of the expedition which. recently went
to the Isle OF Cocos in search Of pirate
gold will not mark the end of treasure
hunting. In the interest also of the
good town of Panama. where the treas
ure seekers are wont to outfit and buy
supplies, we should point out that
negative results never really proved
anything. There may be gold on Co
cos There may be millions of pieces
of eight and pewels galore and wine
which the buccaneers. who had more
than they could drink. laid aside for a
rainy day. Because many treasure
hunters have ransacked Cocos from
end to end no man can say that the
next treasure hunter will not find that
for which all the others have labored
and sought in vain.
Treasure hunters are OF the earth's
salt. They are the dreamers of great
dreams, the seers OF wonderful vision,
the makers of romance. All the world
loves or should love them. The news

fatiguing. Examinations were nerve

had been graded, no matter how late

country solitude. Like all reprehens-

revenge Itself by getting the "profes-
sor" into trouble.
One beautiful moonlight night. he
was nearing the suburbs, when he
made a discovery. The discovery was
twofold: First, that the real cause of
his nightly wanderings was not alto-

ness are putting up the bars against
the man who frequents the saloons
Every young man should bear in mind
that every time he is seen entering OF
coming out of saloon he is reducing
his chances to secure a good position

will they accept the saloonkeeper's
