SAYS BIG OvERCHARGE FOR SPECIAL TRAIN
Illinois Manufacturer Takes Matter of Cost of Run From Yuma to
 Tucson to A. C. C.

On the ground that he was over charged for the use of a special train from Yuma to Tucson, Wait Talcot:,
 a manufacturer of Rockford, H., yesterday filed formal complaint against the Southern Pacific com pany with the corporation commits sion.
 Talcott chartered a special train from Los Angeles to Tucson in July 1912, to bring a physician from the coast city to attend his son, who had been injured in an accident At Yuma washout was encountered, and it was necessary to make up another train and continue the jour ney on the other side of the break For the run from Yuma to Tucson, Talcott states, the railroad company charged him $l250.40 plus the price of q ticket, S7GO, making the total for the trip in Arizona $126O The train was made up of a locomotive and two cabOoSe cars.
 Believing that the case came under the head of interstate traffic. Talcott first complained with the interstate commerce commission, but that body ruled that the matter was intIaState, and dismissed the complaint as not
 within it's Jurisdiction. In the com plaint, which was filed by John B. l Wright of Tucson, TalcOtts attorney in the case. it is stated that the right charge for the run would have
 been $3iO, and reparatiOn to the
 amount of $SS0 is asked.

HOME STATE FOLK ID
 ENTERTAIN TOURISTS

Raymond Whitcomb tourists. whose
 names and addresses were printed
 recently in the Republican, are sche- duled to arrive via the Roosevelt dam On Saturday and it is the de- sire of the chamber of commerce to see them properly entertained on that day. To that end, Secretary Welch has sent out a request to the auto owning people of the city to glance over the list and agree to take those from their own home states on rioes about the valley. As an entertainment scheme, it is unique, even in Phoenix where many
 new things are done.
 The party will be here late Fri
 day night and will be open to in Vitations for auto rides all Saturday
 until train time, which comes arouud m the early evening. During the day they will be shown the sights of the city and valley, and given a little handshake on the side, so that they will remember this part of their
 tour as though they had been tender ed certain hospitable ovations. The | idea is to create friends tor the val ] ley among the influential people. who habItually use the tours as means | of seeing America first.
 special committee has been nam l ed to supervise the day: r: C. Get | tins, J. B. Gillespie, w. A. Horrell. k. o. Beardsley. They meet today | at four o'clock

LOCAL COTTON PLANTING
 SITUATION HAS GOOD TONE
Decidedly Optimistic Tone Noted, Ac-
 cording to Cotton Ginners

The local situation with regard to cotton planting has shown a decided ly optimistic tone, according to those who keep in touch with the condi- tiOns. The recent announcement by the local cotton gins that they would make advances on the crop this sea- son have given a confidence in the situation that will undoubtedly great ly encourage the valley growers.
 Cotton is bound to assume it's po- sition as one if not the foremost annual crop in this valley. Canta- loupes and the smaller vegetable crops are fast coming to the front as real money makers and with con- tinued experience with these crops and financial successes, more farm CTS each year are following the ex- amples set for them. The same is being found true of cotton and like the Imperial Valley of California, which in four years came to plant a 60, GOO acre cotton crop last year, the Salt River valley will soon give this crop the same prominence.
 The business men throughout the valley urge the planting of these money crops as the very best basis for q successful ranch on our valu- able lands. Such a crop as cotton which can be grown successfully by the large and small land holder alike, and which can readily be converted into cash at harvest time, bring into the country absolutely new outside capital which is always an essential in a comparatively new country such as ours.
 Diversified crops in every farming country spell success for the grower In this valley the favorite crop is and undoubtedly will be alfalfa. Al falfa is the basis of all good ranches in that it fosters the live stock in- dustry and the feeding of the farm products At intervals, however, all land needs a change of crop and there is a constant demand for a paying annual crop which can be clean cultivated and used to kill such pests as Johnson and Bermuda grass besides showing reasonable profit for the energy expended. Cot ton will do this better than any other crop grown and shows returns 1T proportion. Too many of our farm CTS in the past have been prone tc admit defeat with a new crop Wher conditions out of their control or a lack of understanding of the game together with undeveloped facilities for handling the crop have been the sole reasons for only half way sue cess.
 Merit is bound to win success. The present cotton season outlook couio not be more favorable and all those interested in seeing the crop sue cess are very much pleased with the present showing And best of all oul slogan of going up can well DC applied to. the value of this produe' of our soil and industry.
