The organization now trying to
elect Mr.. SmaIley have printed state
ments of the financial condition of the
city. endeayoring to show that the
present administration is a business
success Their statement shows that
in February, 1905, when Judge Becker
became mayor, the total Indebtedness
of the city was S2O9, 413.95. The total
Indebtedness at the present time IL
slse,OOO.OO. 1t is s23,4f3.e5 less than 1t
WINS eight years ago. Is there any
thing remarkable about thisf The
vaIution for purposes of taxation I'm
1905, was $500 10000. This has In
creased enormously each year and in
the year 1912 reached sI0.4sO,5I5.00.
practically double the valution of 1905.
The income OF the city from general
taxes for city purposes alone, excIus-
i've of all other sources of revenue, has
Increased rapidly each year since 1905
and In 1912 was approximately $780,
10000 more than 1T WINS In the year
1905. This increase has resulted from
the wonderful growth of taxable values
in Hammond In the last few years and
mot from any act acts of the S:.y
administration. If they hnye applied
the city revenue to the payment OF
running expenses and the discharge OF
the city's obligations, they have SIM
ply done what the law has required
and which those @yvho handled the
money were under bond to do.
In the same statement. they take
credit for assets amounting to S721,-
536.11, which Is the valuation they put
ON the cfty's real estate. including the
city hall, public parks, fire stations

has now except one. The cfty's prop
erty is worth much more today thar

GENEROUS PIONEER
 GOES TO REWARD
(From Sundays Dsily.)

Death yesterday claimed another splendid pioneer Arizonan, when James Oneal answered the summons, his earthly career coming to an end at exactly noon after an illness Of less than one month, due to bron- chitis.
 The passing of this well known Hassayamper and sturdy citizen, is particularly to be regretted, as he was some of those rugged men of other days, who built up the country and added to the lustre of day that required courageous manhood to stem the tide that faced the white man in combating the Indian and opening up the country.
 The deceased came to Arizona in 1869, as chief packer for General Crook His duty was hazardous. but with firm determination, he never faltered in the field. and proved a desirable acquisition to. the military forces in many thrilling encounters.
 After the Apache was subjugated, Mir. Oneal engaged in the livestock business. and for many years was the principal sheep owner in the Date Creek country.
 Abandoning that line, he became associated with the late Hugo Rich ards in cattle raising. and up to the day of the dissolution of this part nership it was a most harmonious one for over a quarter of century.
 Quiet and retiring in manners, the deceased was best known to the few who enjoyed his friendship for his many acts of generosity. which he displayed in private.
 He gave liberality to friends, and one occasion when death followed, before a debt had been honored, he withdrew from his desk the note and threw it in the fire, saying that the estate should go to those who were in want, while he would not miss the sum of T00
 Manyother instances of his open handed generosity are remembered.
 The only known relatives surviving are a wife and son. The latter ar rived last night from Douglas.
 MT. OneaI was born in Kentucky S3 years ago, and crossed the plains in the early sos, locating in Idaho, from which state he came to this section to reside permanently.

FRIENDS COME ID THE RESCUE
 OF TERRY
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

After somewhat a strenuous effort to secure his liberty under bond of $l,s00, James Terry of Ash Fork, succeeded yesterday, and later in the day left for Williams in Coconino county.
 He had been in custody for over three weeks, accused of two crimes, that of assault with deadly weapon on two men, one of whom he fired at point blank and missed, while the bullet struck a bystander and se- verely wounded him.
 Terry secured his freedom through the security furnished by J. F. Daggs and D. D. Smith, of Coconino county, both qualifying in a sum that aggregated over S5,0O0 of tax able property. His trial will take place in June. He has entered the employ of Mir. Daggs at Williams.

(From Sundays Daily.)

County Assessor Campbell and De. putty Edgar W. Stephens leave today for the Verde Valley, on assessing duties and reclassification of land valuations.
 Deputy Fred Edwards leaves for the Hassapampa mining and cattle country today, where considerable new property is to be listed. Chief Deputy Gentry has recovered from a week of illness and again is at the desk
 Assessor Campbell states that only the eastern end of the county re- mains to be visited, and that the listing of the United Verde holdings will begin as soon as authority is granted by the State Tax Commis- sion.
 From a cursory glance at valua- tions to date, under the new order promulgated by the tax commission at Phoenix, Yavapai will have an astounding tax roll this year, and that it may reach the $40,0O0,OOO mark is probable

Not long ago it was Senator Ashurst who went to Washington breathing threatenings of slaughter against the bathtubs and the barber shops.

STABBING AFFRAY THE
 RESULT OF MINE DEAL
(From Sundays Daily.l

Particulars have been received in
 Prescott of serious trouble between John Bullard of Congress Junction. and mining engineer named Rod ney Williams, of Bisbee, which ter minated in cutting affray. in which Williams was wounded three times, twice over the heart and once in the abdomen. The affair took place last week, and the wounded man is ly- ing in Phoenix hospital in seri- ous condition.
 Bullard is well known in this county, he being the brother of R. w. Bullard, of Congress Junction. The trouble occurred at the Bullard camp in Cunningham Pass, after Williams had been sent by Bisbee capitalists to inspect the property The deal was about to be closed at S2S,00O per claim, there being. four claims. S25,000 was to be paid down and the balance in three payments, when a disagreement arose in regard 10 the time of the last payment; MT. Bullard demanding that the last pay ment be made in eighteen months and MT. Williams insisting on two years time. Mir. Williams emptied his sack of samples saying he had no further use for them. as his com pany would not entertain the idea of the last payment being made in eighteen months, as they considered it would take two years time to de- velop the property satisfactorily.
 The two men had been together several days and are said to have had a dispute also. in regard to pay ment of travelling expenses.
 Mir Williams was taken to the hospital at Phoenix and Mir. BuIlard, who is an old resident of Congress Junction went to Wenden to give himself up, and after waiting around town for two days was placed under $500 bonds to appear before the next term of court.
 The Bullard mine has been ship ping for the past seven months and up to date has shipped Y cars of ore, that averages about 16 per cent copper and 5000 gold per ton.

FARMERS PLAN TO
 USE PARCEL POST

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Post master General Burleson has discov cred that the new parcel post sys tenn is about the most popular o many popular branches of his big department Hardly a day passe. that the postmaster general does mol receive approximately 200 letters re. questing information regarding vari ous features of the new service.
 A great many of these requests are from farmers, who seek informa- ton regarding the best way to pack vegetables, butter and eggs for ship ment by parcel post. The farmers express a desire to make use of the new service to get their products to patrons in the city and display keen interest in the collection delivery feature, which will become effective July l. Recently at least 30 per cent of the letters received have pertain ed to this subject.
 The postmasterS of many of the smaller offices of the country report that they are receiving many inquir- ies about the C. O. D. feature. At the present time the rural parcel post business is approximately smaller than in the cities. The reason for this, it is reported, is that the people outside of the thickly populated sec tions are not familiar with the pos abilities of the new service At the present time, it is stated, the country merchants in many instances have become wise to the situation and are preparing to go after new business existing on the rural routes radiat- ing from their respective offices.
 Since the installation of the new service more than 350,000 sets of zone rate books and maps have been printed to satisfy the public demand. In many instances boards of trade and commercial organization have ordered large quantities to distri- bute among their members.
