DECKS ARE CLEARED.

Seventeen bills found their way to
the secretary of states office without
the governors signature, and four
were vetoed Wednesday, the final
day on which Gov Hunt could act on
measures passed by the second state
legislature.
Of the number vetoed, the bill pro-
viding for pari-mutual system of
betting on horse races and for the
formation of a state racing commits
sion was probably the most important
and interesting to the public.
In his reasons for disappearing this
bill the governor recited the argu-
ments made for and against the meas
ure. A total of 1927 signatures were
filed against the measure and 1926 for
it. He said that even if he had ap
proved the bill or allowed it to be-
come a law automatically the refer
endum would have been invoked.
Another bill vetoed was that max
ing it an offense to write checks
against an insufficient bank account.
''An examination of this bill showed
the magnitude of the offense bore no
particular relation to the penalty i'm
posed" said the governor.
The other two bills vetoed were
those providing for a rapid count of
votes at state elections and the Stap-
ley bill which sought to regulate and
limit public expenditures.
The bills which the governor did
not sign or veto, and which will be-
come laws automatically, are senate
bills Nos 81, 38, 1O5, 143; 1876, 76, IA
and 40, and house bills Nos Sub. 6,
10, IA, 48, 65, 1870, 148, 81 and 81

RADIO river above Parker. Messrs.
Godby and Smith have recently made
several purchases of claims contain
ing this character of ore during the
past couple of weeks. Mr.. Godby
stated that the manganese ores along
the Colorado river are the highest
grade in the United States and equal
the deposits found in Russia. Some
of the deposits purchased by the gen
tlemen run as high as 70 per cent.
Shipments are to be made as soon
as the several properties can be got
ten to produce. Owing to the Euro
pean war there is a good market for
this character of ore in the United
States, and fancy prices are being
paid for the ore by eastern steel
works.

Experimental Wells.

Work on the experimental wells to
be sunk on the reservation for the
purpose of determining the extent OF
the underground water supply will
probably e begun within the next
few days. Through the efforts OF
Representative j. B. Flanagan an
appropriation Of $4,000 was secured
for this purpose. While this money
is not available until sometime in
June. the matter of proceeding with
the sinking of the wells at once has
been taken up with the State Land
Commission. Owing to the state au-
ditor's decision not to honor war
rants drawn by the commission, on
account Of a technicality as to the
commissions legal existence, caused
by the failure of the legislature to
ecnat a land code, that department
cf state is practically tied up and
cannot properly proceed with its
work. However, the commission has
informed Representative Flanagan
that the work may proceed along
the lines suggested by the latter a
few days ago, viz, that if the money
is advanced to pay the necessary
expenses and supplies the parties
making the advance will be REIN
ursed when the state appropriation
becomes legally available. A busi-
ness arrangement to this end is now
,cing entered into with the land com
mission, and it is thought that the
work may be started in a short time.
1t is hoped to have all of the data
in the hands of the department of
the interior several weeks before cor.
gress convenes in October, to the end
that no time may be lost in getting
a bill providing for the opening of
the surplus lands, Independent of a
reclamation project, through that
body as early in the session as is
possible

HUBBARD FUQUA LAID TO REST.

The entire town turned out
Wednesday afternoon to pay their
last respects to the memory of Hub
bard FuQua. His sorroWing friends
and grief-stricken parents can only
remember the many sterling qualities
Of this young man. H is happy and
sunny disposition; his manliness,
integrity and honesty will long be
cherished by those who knew him.
He has gone to that peaceful land
where troubles and worries are un-
known. While his going has caused
a deep void in the hearts of his
loved ones and in the hearts of his
friends, his presence in the celestial
world will spread sunshine among
these who are on the other shore.
There is work celestial as we'll as
terrestrial, and we know that Hubbard
will not be found wanting in his
labors on the other side of the Great
Divide
The funeral services were held in
the M. E. church, amid masses of
banked flowers and floral wreaths
and in the presence of a congrega-
tion that xed the capacity of the
edifice. The peoples hearts were
heavy with sorrow over the commun-
ity's loss, and the aftermath of the
recent tragedy.
The remains were followed to the
cemetery by the same sorrowing
friends, where services were held.
t funeral was conducted by Under
takar ]. F. Collins.

partment OF agriculture Farmers Bull
letin No. 645, just issued, the total
value of all farm crops of the entire
United States amounts to So, 946 ,O00,-
900 for the year just past. The pros
perity of the farmer depends not so
much upon the amount of production
as the amount of money received for
what they produce. This years cot
ton crop is the largest ever produced
but the value to the farmeer is the
smallest it has been in many years.
The corn crop, which was but a mod
crate one, is the most valuable of any
crop ever produced.
The acreage planted to wheat for
the coming spring is about II per
cent greater in the United States
than it was last year, but per cent
lower in condition at this time.
The apple crop of the United State.
was greater in 1914 than it ever has
been. There was raised 1-2 bush
els for every man, woman and child
in the United States. Arizona apples
brought the farmer more money than
in any other state. He received an
average Of $1.92 per bushel for the
entire crop, which amounted to 1O0,-
900 bushels. Arizona promises to be-
come one OF the great apple produc-
ing states, as thousands of trees are
being planted all through the state
especially through Cochise county,
along the foothills of the Sulphur
Springs valley, where today some of
the choicest apples of the country .
being raised.
The Arizona farmer receives more
money for the corn, wheat, oats, cab
bages, onions, potatoes and poultry
than the farmer of most any other
state. The cheap land and the high
prices paid make farming an attrac-
tive proposition in Arizona

The Brave at Home

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissem-
bles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trembles.
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has she'd a drop as dear
AS e'er believed the field OF glory.
The wife who girds her sband sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent ~asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts. OF death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field Of battlel
The mother who conceals her grief
While TO her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and
brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she b~lesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her.
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on freedoms field of honor.

Returns from Work and Finds Young
Wife Dead.

Trip, July 14.-To return from
work In one of his fields and find his
wife dead was the distressing expert
ence of Edward B~reitzkreutz, a we'll
known farmer of this territory. When
he went to work he left his wife APP
parently in her customary good
health. During the forenoon the ia
Their and brother of the husband
drove by the Breitzkreutz place and
stopped and chatted a few minutes
with Mrs. Breitzkreutz, who was
jovial and apparently as well as at
any time in her life. But when the
husband returned at noon his wife
was not about the house, and a
search revealed her dead body at a
point near the house. Death resulted
from a stroke of apoplexy. The wom-
an was only % years of age and was
married November 80, 1913. She is
survived by her husband. A child
was born TO them a few months ago,
but it died in infancy.

RTNIpER CROP LOOKED FOR
Outlook Excellent i'm Western N
Central Part of State.

pierre. July 14.-With a heavy
rainfall in western and central South
Dakota the indications We're never
better at this date for a bumper crop
of small grain. Winter wheat and
rye are reported well along and the
harvest will start in some OF the
fields in ten days. Spring wheat is In
bloom and makes a fine showing.
The first cutting of alfalfa is in the
stack. and the second cutting is max
ing a rapid growth.
The corn crop has not made so
good a showing so far for the year
on account of the cool, damp wealth
err. but IL is we'll started, though
small in most fields. As most OF the
corn planted in this section is OF the
varieties which mature within a nun
dred days from planting, under ora
nary conditions, and as the average
killing frost date In this part OF the
state ordinarily is September 80, the
crop should mature ahead OF frost.
The erection of silos for the handling
of the fields which show that they are
not likely to mature is being urged
all over this part of the state.
The wild hay crop was never
heavier on the prairie than 1t is this
year, and the owners OF live stock are
taking advantage of this condition TO
pile up enough of this hay for forage
for all their stock, regardless OF the
character of winter which may fol-
low.
