TO OPEN SOON.

The prospects for the opening of
the Parker Indian reservation at an
early date are very good. We note
this with a great deal of satisfaction,
not only for what it means to our
good friends up the river at Parker,
but because the opening of this vast
tract of rich agricultural and mineral
lands means much to the town OF
Blythe and the Palo Verde valley.
While the town of Parker will
receive the greater benefit by the
opening of this reservation, there is
a large part of the lower end of that
valley whose trade will naturally be-
long to Blythe. 1t will open up one
of the richest, t,undeveloped mining sec
tions in Arizona, which is located
just across the Colorado river from
Blythe, and this town will naturally
become the trading center for that
section. While we claim this for
Blythe we are not attempting to de-
tract from the benefits Parker is
justly entitled to, and will receive,
when this happy day she has SO long
waited for will come about to make
her one of the best towns in Ari-
zona and the first metropolis of the
Colorado river valley.-Blythe Herald

THE DISASTER IN JAPAN.

TOXIC, Jan. 14-Enormous loss of
life and the practical annihilation of
Sahura-Shima by the terrific volcanic
eruption and earthquake which be-
gan Saturday, and has continued ever
since, are reiterated in brief message
which have come from various sc lrc-
es during the day.
The Governor of Miyaski near the
east coast of Kiushiu, telegraphs that
the hundreds of terror-striken refu-
gees who have managed to reach Mi
vas aki state that there has been ter
rible loss of life, because thousands
of the inhabitants of the island
were unable to reach the mainland
before being overtaken by fire and
lava.
1t is stated that no accurate esti-
mate of the number of causualities
will be possible in few days, ,becaus
of the interruption of rail, telegraphic
and all other means of communication
throughout the affected area, which
impedes the work of rescue Most
of the communications so far receive
have been by wireless.
The governor of Kumamotto report
that the volcanic eruption and earth
quake shocks are subsiding, but re-
ports to the forestry bureau from
Kagoshima state that there has been
several heavy shocks during the day
wireless message from the com
mander of the Japanese cruiser Tono
states that not single person re-
mains in Kagoshima The message
does not indicate whether the people
OF the island escaped or were over
whelmed.

OUR NEIcHBOR MARS.

Now comes the famous astronomer
Professor Worthington, to support
Professor Lowell's idea that Mars is
inhabited by a superior race of be-
ings; that they are far ahead of the
human race that people the earth.
They must be entirely different, for
all the physical conditions are wholly
unlike those on the earth. Water there
boils at 10 degrees, and the at
mOsphere is less dense and both are
slowly disappearing. This fact, ac-
cording to the evolutionary idea, will
cause the physical natures of the peo-
pie there to change or it will soon be
a dead world It's destiny is very in
teresting to us, for what will become
of the Marian people will become
of u.s. This whole universe started
with mind. It's first objective force
was light; and then on to every form
of matter. Mars is going back to it's
first estate, and it's dwindling mate
rial forces are being succeeded by
spirit. The receding air and water
have excited their intelligence to the
utmost to provide physical conditions
in harmony with their needs. This
very effort has lifted htem up to a
higher intellectual plane So Mars
teaches the doctrine, from matter to
spirit, and probably, some day, the
earth will learn the lesson.

PRODUCTION OF METAL

was larger than in any other year.
The total output was nearly l4,OOO,-
900 pounds, valued at about $612,OOO,
as against 6,S06,443 pounds, valued
at $306,290, in 1912. The mines at
Bisbee produced much lead ore, and
in 1913 there was a large increase.
The Shattuck mine became a regular
producer of silver-lead ore as we'll as
copper ore. In Mohave county an in
creased tonnage was shipped regular
ly from the Tennessee mine to the
concentration plant at Needles, Cal.
The mine production of recover
able spelter was about 100000
pounds, vaued at $4,000, which
was an increase of about 34O,OOO
pounds, or nearly 4 per cent, over
the production of 1912. On account
of the lower price paid for the metal,
the total value decreased more than
100000. The Golconda mine in Mo
have county, formerly the largest
producer, was making shipments OF
zinc ore and concentrates only part
of the year, and therefore had
greatly decreased output. Much ore
was, however, shipped from the San
Xavier mine in Pima county and
much concentrate was made from
Mohave county ores milled at Need

DOES NOT FAVOR SPOlLS
SYSTEM,

WASHINGTON, January 15-Pres-
ident Wilson intimated that the bill
now before congress exempting as
sistant postmasters from classified
service would be vetoed if passed.
This indicates that the administra-
ton will not tolerate any return to
the ''spoils system" The president,
it is understood, has decided to calp
a halt in what has been charged by
the civil service advocates as a ten
dency in congress to break down
the merit system. He was confront
ed in the tariff, currency and ur-
gent deficiency bills with the civil
service problem, but in signing these
measures took the position that his
power of placing employees in the
classified service had not been weak
ened, and that the merit system
could be applied.

A FIGHT FOR DETERMINATION.

The three cattle growers associa-
tlons on the Chiricahua mountains
in southern Arizona are determined
to rid their ranges of wolves and lion
if possible, according to a recent dis
patch from Portal They are offer
ing bounty of $4,000 for any of
these animals killed in the Chiriahua
mountains. The hide belongs to the
hunter, wich allows him to collect in
addition the county bounty of $1,000.
A lion or wolf will not return when
hungry to an old carcass, but must
have fresh killed meat. Due to this
habit, the animal loss to stockmen is
very large. 1t is estimated that a
wolf kills stock to the value of $1,000
each year
The associations, to show that they
mean what they say, have had cloth
posters advertising the bounty, put
up throughout their ranges
These associations are located
largely on the Chiriahua national
forest. Nearly every forest in Ari-
zona and New Mexico has one or
more of such associations. They are
proving very beneficial to both the
stockmen and the forest service in
working towards the determination
of predatory animals, and in lookin
after the sailing of stock, the num-
ber- and grade of bulls necessary and
the location of drift fences.

COTTON PROBLEM NATIONAL
South Carolina official Says Situation
Is National Menace,

That the threatened congestion Of
cotton is a national menace and not
merely of local concern in the south is
the contention Of E. ]. Watson, commits
sioner of agriculture Of South Carolina
who is in this city to attend the con-
ference of southerners for the relief OF
the cotton growers of the south.
Not since 1911 has the south raced
so critical situation with relation to
its principal crop as 1t does today" said
Mr.. Watson. "In that year, with pro-
duction of 100000 bales. the price
threatened to drop to cents or lower.
but by quick and determined action we
avoided a calamity. In the present In
stance the European war has brought a
situation that Is even more ominous
than that Of 1911, and the south must
depend upon the national government
for assistance The crop this year is
estimated at 13,500.000 bales. at least
6. .OOO. 600 bales of which must be taken
care of Immediately. for inside Of thirty
days this amount will be ready for
marketing. The war has thrown upon
MS the Immediate necessity of either
shipping it or storing at least 100000
hales in warehouses Indefinitely.
Opposition to the plan for issuing
warehouse certificates on part of the
cotton crop is voiced by John M. Parker
Of New Orleans, a former democratic
state chairman and prominent in agri-
cultural affairs. He admitted, however,
that there Is grave need for providing
some mea sure of relief for the cotton

SHIPPING BILL IS NOW

Objection Likely to Senate Amend.

The shipping bill, passed by the SEN

today from the Senate. It Is expected
that the House will disagree to the

on the part of the Senate will be Sena-
tors O'Gorman, Thornton and Brande-
gee.
The Cummins amendment, adopted
last night just before the bill was
