OF the original 10000 acres of LAND

Of the original 10000 acres of land
granted the state of Arizona for a
home for disabled miners, $4,000 have
been selected. The land granted the
several counties in return for railroad
grated bonded Indebtedness, of which
Coconino county is holding the sack
for $4,000 and paying interest are
still in quiet condition of rest after
four years of VICIOUS work on the part
of Winsor to ascertain whether or not
several more years will not be re-
quired to find out whether there is
that much land in the state. In the
meanwhile the kindly tax payer is
paying interest on the amount and
the lands to be selected are laying
idle. That ones salary should be
protected first is good financial
scheme, but sometimes even a good
old pack horse like tax payer gets
tired of squandering his money and
prospects even for an Arizona politi-
clan.

1t is amusing to see notices in pa
pers over the state calling attention
to the fact that "Your war tax is due
July 1st." We are at peace with all
the world yet pay "war tax" This
must make the Imperial Prince of
Peace William Jenny Bryan, the onct,
shudder to think the income tax is
called war tax because their was
nothing coming in from the new
democratic tariff law. The United
United States are certainly in bad
shape when a war in Europe, which
takes all our supplies, makes the cost
of living higher than it was under the
old "robber tariff" You pay your
money and take your choice, only we
haven't any war-just the tax and
more cost for living.
The Coconino sun., 1915-06-25

There will be no peaceful settlement
of the European war. 1t is plainly
apparent that one side or the other
will be decisively beaten, whipped to
a standstill before any peaceful re-
suits can be looked for. 1t may be a
year or two years before the war is
settled. There can be no settlement,
the many intricate troubles that have
been accommodating for years, are all
involved. The wrongs and rights of a
half century or more are behind the
gigantic strife and neutral countries
on this side the water, at least the
people generally have little concep-
ton of all that has gone years before
to make this war one of hatred, gain,
conquest, retaliation and hope of
world power. The poor human beings
who are being thrown into the mouths
of cannon, are only powers in the
worldwide struggle of humanity on
the principal of the survival of the
fittest," or the power of the strongest.

THE FAIRY AND THE WAIF

The story of this Gustave Frohman
production is sure to appeal to every
person in the audience. The principal
actors, Mary Miles Minter (known the
country over as "The Littlest Rebel")
Percy Helton (the boy of "Peter
Grimm and Will Archie (whom
everyone knows), will delight the
children with their pathos and humor,
while the grown-ups will be grippsd
by the splendid acting and the inter-
est of the plot, based upon events
brought about by the sudden outbreak
Of the present European war, which
in brief is as follows:
Major Drayton, of the British
Army, receives cablegram which
necessitates his return to London. AS
he will be gone but few weeks, his
lawyer suggests that he leave Viola
in his care.
Viola is not happy in Lawyer New
inson's household, and is therefore
dismayed when at the outbreak of the
war abroad, her father writes that he
has been ordered to the front. The
news of Major Drayton's death causes
the Nevineson's attitude to change. A
sum of money entrusted to Nevinson
for Viola's care has been lost by him
in speculation, and Viola is looked
upon as a burden and treated harsh
ly, becoming the household drudge.
Goaded beyond endurance, she turns
away, drifts into a theatre and be-
comes fairy in Christmas produc-
ton. At the dress rehearsals she
falls from cloud which was bearing
her skyward. She is not injured, but
is so berated by the stage manager,
that she rushes out into the night in
her fairy custome, and disappears.
This is how it comes to pass that THE
WAIF, wretched little urchin whose
only shelter is an old barrel in lone
ly alley, is sure that "the Christmas
Angel" has come down to him when
he is aroused from his Christmas Eve
sleep by Viola dashing headlong into
his barrel, seeking to hide from a
pursuing dog.
Despite the gathering clouds, the
threads of the story are woven to-
gether into a happy ending.
Under auspices of Woman's Club
at Majestic Theatre, Monday. Iune

Many a resident will point with
pride to the city streets and side
walks when the work is completed
this fall, instead of apologizing with
regret at the former condition of our
streets and walks. 1t is pleasure
to live in a live town when visiting
friends come and praise, rather than
in a town where they can only ex-
claim: eyes, but for heavens sake,
why don't the authorities etc, etc.
you've all heard the rest without re-
peating it.

MEXICAN INSPECTOR
MURDERS AND SUICIDES

Yuma, Ariz., June 16th.-Miguel B.
Martin, Mexican customs inspector
at Andrade, committed double crime
at Andrade Sunday when he shot and
killed Lylian Hoffman, and then
turned the gun and shot himself to
death.
The tragedy occurred in the restaur-
ant at Andrada. The two people had
been in the saloon Immediately before
the shooting. They went into the res
taurant a little before $3.50 in the
afternoon and as the clock struck the
half hour both crossed the great div
ide. Those who saw the tragedy say
that the shooting took place so quicly
that there was no chance of Interior
ence.
The cause Of the crime is not known
but it is believed that Martin was
jealous Of the way his companion was
acting.
Martin was infatuated with the girl
and jealousy is believed to be the
cause Of the shooting.

Want Aliens to Hold Land

The Nogales Chamber of Commerce
has passed resolutions against the
Alien land law, and are calling on
Governor Hunt to ask the legislature
to amend the law, in order that Mex
leans driven across the line by the
revolutions may acquire property in
Arizona and do business here. The
resolution also advises that many
people from European nations may
come to Arizona after the war to seek
new homes. They ask that all local
business organizations pass the same
resolution.

Bisbee Graduate Comes Here

Miss Laura Funkhouser, one of the
graduates of this years class at the
Bisbee high school, has gone to Flag
staff where she will enter the classes
in the Normal school taking the sum-
mer course. She intends to remain at
the Normal for IS months before re-
turning, at which time she will re-
ceive her certificate as teacher and
enter one of the schools of the state
to put her knowledge into practice.
Her record at the high school was
high and no doubt she will do credit
to her previous training at Bisbee-

The efforts of the Democracy to
make people believe that the depres-
sion in the United States which set in
months before the war in Europe
commenced, was due to the war, and,
on the other hand, to convince them
that the revival of industry in the last
few months is due to anything but the
war, is too ridiculous for serious con-
sideration.

After Plaintiff Against the
Railroad Had Given Un-
expected Testimony
IN DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST C. V. R. R.
\, sAN...slllo Said He Failed to
Hear Train Whistle Just
Before He Was Struck

Unexpected testimony given this morn
ing in United States court at Montpelier
by the plaintiff on the stand in the case
of Raffaello Graziano VS.. Central Yer
mont railroad, as regards the moving of
a train at the time of the accident which
resulted in the loss of the plaintiffs left
hand, caused Attorney Redmond for the
defendant to ask that the court allow
him to call back from st. Adams several
witnesses who had testified previously.
The witnesses to be called back. after
once being excused following their testi
mony, are the conductor, engineer and
fireman of the train which struck Graz
ziano and they are expected to arrive
sometime this afternoon by automobile.
The plaintiff was supposed to close the
evidence this morning and a delay of
several hours will be caused. The case
was expected to 60 to the jury this even
ing but it will not be submitted now un-
til tomorrow forenoon because of the
new developments.
The plaintiff on the stand this morning,
under cross examination, said that he
failed to hear the train whistle for a
crossing or for Bethel station. He testi
fled that Engineer Lynch exclaimed when
the train was stopped after striking him,
MY God. | didn't see you" The coat

accident was shown. a portion being bad
