bers, piled Thigh on a freight car
He was cutting the side stakes that
held them in place, when two tiers
Of timbers toppled over upon him

PARkER'S GIANT WEEDS

To say that weeds in any particular
place grow as large as shade trees
would sound very much like the Hi
bernian's trite remark that ''in Ire
land the bees are as big as sheep,
but it is a fact nevertheless that a
peculiar leguminous growth known as
"hog weed" which grows in great
profusion around the water bitches
in the irrigated section of the reser-
vation, reaches a height or from SIX
to ten feet, while the stalks are from
three to four inches in diameter. This
wed grows so rank and rapidly that
it ohOkes UP the water courses and
is a veritable nuisance.
A. l.. Preston, the ditch rider on
the reservation, brought in a sec
ton of this hog weed last Monday,
that measured four inches in diam
erte, while some OF the branches
thereon were an inch in diameter.
These enormous weeds reach their
full growth inside of month and so
frail are they for their size that they
often break down with their own
weight. The stalks contain nothing
but a spongy pith through which pass
stringy fibers, and the outside is
covered with a soft skin resembling
the peeling of a turnip.
Neither horses nor cattle will eat
it but hogs devour it greedily in
preference to any other kind OF
greens, hence the name, hog weed. y
1t seems vey nutritious as hogs
fatten quickly when left to feed on
it.
Since this weed grows so abundant
ly without any care or attention 1t
would seem to be good thing for
hogmen to investigate.

HONEY INDUSTRY

W. G. CrOWder, the largest indi-
vldual bee man in the Yuma valley,
has finished harvesting his honey
crop for 1914. He has gathered and
now has stored in warehouse in
Yuma, 1,O25 cases of honey as fine
as one would wish to see. Each case
contains ten gallons and each gallon
weighs twelve pounds. On account
of the present low price of honey Mr..
Crowder will hold his crop for some
time expecting the market to i'm
prove The present price is about
five cents per pound, which is the
lowest in many years. He has sold
his beeswax for thirty-one cents per
pound which is the best price that he
ever received. The beeswax will be
shipped at once to Hamilton, Illinois.
In all he has saved one ton of bees
wax.
R. E. Crowder will leave within a
few days for Oklahoma and other
Eastern states for the purpose of sell
ing the honey, not only of Mr.. Crow
der, but o. all of the other valley ap-
iarists. Mr.. CroWder's bee holdings
represent just about half of the bees
of the valley. The honey crop this
year is fair and the bees are in good
condition. Mr.. Crowder's honey crop
this year will net him about $4,000

FOR SUPERIOR
JUDGESHIP
COMES OUT BEFORE THE PEo-
PIE AS A CANDIDATE FOR
SUPERIOR JUDGE OF YUMA co,

In this issue we announce the can
dldacy OF Fred l.. Ingraham for the
nomination for Superior Judge of Yu-
ma County upon the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Ingraham scarcely needs
an introduction to the citizens of
Yuma county, since he came to Yu-
ma SO long ago that he is almost an
old timer" He settled upon home
stead in the lower Yuma valley be-
fore the AlgodOnes Grant was open
ed upon, March 1S, 1901. He has
practiced law in Yuma for the past
eleven years, the last two years as
county attorney, in which position he
is said by the county officers to have
shown himself a careful and accurate
adviser concerning the very impor
tant business matters which have
arisen during the present administra-
ton, as well as a fearless and able
prosecutor, striking where blows
should be struck, and ever endeavor-
ing to the end that no guilty man
should escape punishment.
During his long residence in the
Yuma county, Ingraham has been a
booster" for all of the movements
which have aided in the building up
Of Yuma and the county. For years
he was attorney for the Yuma Valley
Union Land and Water Company,
shortly called the farmers Gravity"
following this he acted as advisor
when the present Water Users Asso-
citation was called into existence, writ
ing it's charter and bylaws, afterward
acting as it's attorney for several
years. For four years he was city
attorney of Yuma, and guided the
legal acts of the town through the
difficult days when lot sales, street
grading and macadamizing, and side
walk building were first undertaken
by the common council.
Everything that Mr.. Ingraham has
in this world is invested in Yuma and
vicinity; his family live here; and
this perhaps explains why he is
booster and a builder for Yuma
county. Even now he is an active
member of the High School Board
who ale entrusted by the people
with the building at Yuma of the
beautiful and stately high, school now
being erected at a cost of $4,000. At
Somerton he is taking an active part
in the erection of a cooperative cot
ton gin, and is now organizing the
SomertOn TOwnsite Company, whose
business it will be to make Somerton
a city and give her railroad cOnnec-
ton with Yuma.
Mr.. Ingraham, if elected, will bring
to the bench not only experience, but
learning in the law. He was born in
the Buckeye state, and educated in
the schools of Michigan, where he
graduated from the State University
at Ann AIbor, from both the law and
literary departments, taking his law
degree in 1896. This education has
since been ripened by several years
of practice in Chicago, and eleven
at the bar in Arizona. He has been
admitted to the bar in three states,
Michigan, Illinois and Arizona. Those
who know him best believe that he
would make a judge of whom Yuma
county would feel proud He would
know the law; he would act with
care deliheration and fairness; and
everyone who knows Fred Ingraham
knows that he is square. The Ex-
aminer is proud to lend aid in his
Yuma Daily Exam
iner Advt.

 INDEFINITE RECESS
Mediators l. ave Niagra Falls While Rebels De-
 eide on Course.

Niagra Falls, June 30. An in- definite recess of mediation was decided on today by Ambassador DaGanna of Brazil and Ministers Suarez and Naon of Chile and Argentina.
 This action followed the receipt of note from General Caranza expressing an inclination to par ticipate in informal conference with Huerta delegates for the solution of Mexico's internal pro- blems, but asking for more time in which to consult his subordi- nate generals. Carranza declar- ed he wished to get full authority from the signers of the Plan of Guadaloupe, the platform of the Constitutionalist movement, so that delegates might be clothed with plenary powers.
 The Huerta delegates regard Caranza's latest note as satis- factory. The American delegates regard the communication as favorable.
 The Huerta delegates are an xious for some definite word as to when the conference will be- gin. ssThey sent several telegrams tonight to Mexico City asking for instructions.
 The mediators say that medi ation has not adjourned, but that perhaps the last formal meeting had been held. Communication hereafter will be carried on by telegraph.
 The mediators consider their chief ork has been done.
 They have drawn up a series of protocols setting forth the condi- tions under which the United States will recognize a new government. When a satisfact- ory government is established American forces will be with drawn and both international and internal problems solved.
 Originally the three mediators rendered their good officers to avert war. This they think has been accomplished.
