SEN. WESSELOF
YUMA IS DEAD
MEMBER OF UPPER HOUSE OF
FIRST STATE LEGISLATURE
SUCCUMBS TO ATTACK OF
HEART FAILURE

Frederick William Vessel, senator
from Yuma county in the first state
legislature of Arizona, died at the
home of his Wife's parents at Col
ton, Cal, last Monday, according to
advices reaching here from Yuma.
The immediate cause of his death
was heart failure. Until shortly be-
fore the meetings of the second spe-
cial session of the state legislature,
Senator Vessel had been a resident
of Yuma county for many years
However, he had made all arrange
ments to move and was at Cotton
when the special sessions were call
ed last year and was forced to return
and represent his former fellow
Yumaiites again in the legislature
During his residence in Yuma
county he was among the most
prominent citizens. He was a man
who made friends easily and when a
friend was once made he never lost
his friendship. He was justice of the
peace in Yuma city for years and
also served as county superintendent
OF schools, being largely responsible
for the splendid condition of the
schools of this county before state
hood. In the first state election he
stood for state senator and was
nominated and elected by a large
majority.
In the senate he early distinguish
ed himself as a hard worker and
held membership upon many i'm
portaht committees, among which
were style, revision and compilation
enrolling and engrossing, mining,
corporations, public lands, education
and public institutions, printing and
clerks and appropriations. He was
chairman of the enrolling and en-
crossing committee, one of the most
important committees of the senate.
During the first session of the
legislature he succeeded in securing
the passage of the present Arizona
teachers pension law, one of the
first pieces of legislation of it's kind
in the entire country. He was the
author of the bill and worked insis-
tently for it's passage. Under it's
provisions teachers in Arizona who
have taught twenty-five years are
entitled and receive a pension from
the state of $500 per annum
Fred W. Vessel was born in
Mississippi, but early came with his
parents to California He graduated
from the Placerville, Cal, academy,
and among other things he taught
school for several years. This is
what endeared him to the cause of
the school teachers of the state when
he arrived at a position where he
could do them and their cause
measure of the justice he deemed
they deserved.
He was prospector, merchant,
rancher and real estate agent among
his other activities and studied law
at one time. Such an experience
was of great benefit to him in his
career as a LEGISLATOR He was
married to Miss Mary Pettijohn, of
Cotton, Cal, who was a faithful
helpmeet to him during the whole
Of their married life He will be
missed from among his many friends.

u. S. SHOULD
CONTROL RIVER
COLORADO RIVER SHOULD BE
DEVELOPED AS ONE PROJECT
FROM ITS SORCE TO ITS
MOUTH.

Federal control of the use of the
Colorado river from it's source to it's
mouth is the demand of the Great
Southwest, as expressed by William
B. Raymund of Los Angeles. Mr..
Raymund, in a recent statement on
this subject, said, in part:
"The conference at Denver enabled
the people of Colorado to compare
their short-sighted, supremely selfish
view point with a broad policy that
will do them just as much good un-
der stable conditions as their own lit
tie state policy will do. This also
applies to our friends from the I'M
perial valley, who also have narrow
and supremely selfish views, which
in the dong run are really detrin1en-
tai to their best interests.
"The state of Colorado has assert
ed her rights to all waters IN Colo
rado, to be diverted in any way she
secs fit, for the exclusive benefit of
Colorado. This she will be unable
to maintain in the federal courts.
'The principle that the waters of
the stream belong first to the lands
within the natural watershed of the
river will be maintained. The fact
that it is an interstate and interna-
tional stream but accentuates this
principle.
I'VE hope Colorado will learn (and
the Imperial valley and all other ap-
propriators) that their best interests
lie in joining the movement under the
Newlands bill for one project of the
Colorado river from it's source to it's
mouth under federal control, with the
rights of interstates and Mexican
states fully preserved and impartial1y
protected under the project.
THE subject brings in the old
fight waged under the Roosevelt and
Pinchot policies, for conservation in
the interest of the public, regardless
OF state rights and against special in
terests seeking to use water-power
sites and the public domain for pro
fit, using and fighting under the ban
ner of state rights.
Colorado will demand, according
10 her state laws, complete control of
all water that originates in Colorado
and will maintain the right to divert
such water from it's natural channels
across the mountains. Imperial val
ley, On the other hand declares its
superior rights to the Colorado on ac-
count Of prior appropriation, actual
diversion and beneficial use.
Since Roosevelt's time it has been
Eety definitely decided by the SUI
pre'ne court that the general govern
ment las the supreme power to de-
velop a highly federalized policy if
the administration so desires.
The federal government should re-
tain its power over navigable inter
state and international streams. The
lights of the different states thus can
be abundantly conserved in an impair
tial manner.
I'VE desire the Colorado river to be
developed as one project from it's
source to its mouth 1t is folly to
consider this as a possibility under
any other system than federal con-
troll. What more simple solution than
for all of us to trust Uncle Sam to
work it out with impartial justice to

Between
Ourselves

There used to be a time-not
so many years ago, either-when
merchants looked forward to the
months of July and August, if
not with fear and trembling, at
least with apathy. There was no
business during these two months
and no one had ever devised
method of creating business. A
merchant need not have been in
business more than quarter of
a century to recall very, very
wildly these very conditions.
What a difference today!
Nowadays one month is pretty
much the same as another. There
are no REAL dull periods-at
least not with a live, enterpris-
ing house. Your modern store
keeper is a genius and a wizard.
He creates as he goes along. He
makes business to order.
The Newark stores are VERY
ENTERPRISING when 1t comes
to CREATING new business. 1t
will pay you to pay pretty close
attention to ALL the advertise
ments from now until after La
Dor Day. We have planned a
great many stirring sales and
we suspect the OTHER stores
have also. At any rate, watch
