To Decide Storage Question.
For several years there has been
more or less friction between the diff
ferent grain buyers of the state over
the matter of charging storage on
stored grain, from which charges OF
discrimination have frequently been
sent in to the board of railroad COM
missioners.
The law does not say that storage
shall be charged, except by inference
through the establishment of a maxi
mum charge of not to exceed two
cents bushel, and the commission
has never made ruling as to wheth-
err or not this charge was obligatory,
although it has held that grain buy
ers may not charge one customer
storage and not another. In other
words the buyer must either charge
all his customers storage or charge
none.
Upon request, the commission has
decided to hold a hearing some
where in the state, at time and
place to be decided later, when this
question of grain storage charges will
be gone into fully and rule made by
the commission which will bring all
the elevators of the state uniformly in
line.

RAY WOMEN 10 Be
REPRESENTED Al FAIR

Good old Ray will be on the map
at the Fair this fall. Mrs.. Hickey
has goodly lumber of excellent
pieces of tatting which she intends
entering at the Fair, and those who
visit the show should take particular
pains to visit the women's booth and
see the exhibit. Some of the pieces
of exhibit are rare designs in collars,
some water sets and a brown silk
hand bag. Tatting is one of the Oldest
arts of needle craft and is performed
with thread worked through a shuttle.
Tor a great many years this
art has practically been domant,
but the present generation appears to
be bringing the old styles to the front
and tatting seems to be coming into
its own. There are number of prizes
offered by the Fair Commission and
the people of Ray will be proud to
see a blue ribbon pinned upon the
handiwork Of one Of Rays most re-
spected early settlers.

afterwards.
So well supplied are the strikers
that they are disposed to regard Gov

unnecessary. The governors procla-

MINERS TAKE SECOND
GAME BY CLOSE SCORE

HAYDEN. ARIz.. Oct. S1.-Nosing
out their opponents in the fifth in
ming the Ray Miners defeated the
Smelter team here today, by the close
score of to Z.
The game, like the one on the day
previous, was very much of a slug
ging match with all its attendant ex-
citement. The Smelterites took the
lead in the first and held it until the
Miners passed them when Buckles
blew up in the fifth. The home boys
kept working, however, and came very
near overcoming the lead of their ad-
versaries.
The Miners batted first and were
easy victims for their adversaries,
getting but two hits off Buckles until
the fifth frame opened. Then, how
ever, the big southpaw weakened and
hits were easy. In this inning, after
Arbogast was out Mahoney and Ram
age hit safely and Pendleton walked
filling the sacks with Scanlon at bat.
Scanlon sent grounder to left scor-
ing Mahoney and Ramage and when
the ball was fielded home it passed
Agnew, permitting Pendleton to cross
the plate also. Scanlon got as far as
third on this play and came home
when Hester sent -bagger
against the bank at centerfield Hall
then went on the mound for the home
team, succeeding Buckles, and famed
Damaggio, who was first to face him.
Mitchell then hit to deep center for
two sacks scoring Hester and he also
got home on little poor field work
by the Smelterites. This made six in
this inning for the Miners and there
were no further developments until
the seventh, when Scanlon and Hester
scored on Mitchell's two-bagger to
right field fence.
Some heavy hitting was done by
the Smelter boys ana several dis
tinguished themselves along this line.
In the first Garrity got safe when
Hester dropped the ball and McMurdo
soon followed with a double to right
field, bringing him home. Bender then
flew to the fence at left for two bases,
scoring McMurdo The next excite
ment for the local fans came in the
fourth when Bender claimed another
of his famous two o-baggers and later
came home when Pendleton fumbled
one from Buckles bat.
In the fifth Pierce flew over the
fence at right for homer with no.
body on. and McMurdo followed with
a safety to center, scoring later when

CONNCTs
BURNER OF BRANDS

Noteworthy among the cases tried
at Florence this week was the con-
viction Wednesday of Telesford Val
enzuela, charged with illegal brand
ing of cattle near Red Rock. Velen-
zuela, with his brother, was arrested
lust June by Sheriff Hall in connec
ton with the burning of brands on a
dozen head of cattle in the southern
part of the county, and brought to
trial by County Attorney Richardson
who was assisted by Judge w. l.
Barnum for the live stock sanitary
board
While illegal branding is serious
offense, punishable by from one to
five years in the penitentiary, it is
generally very difficult to apprehend
the guilty party, and under the cir
cumstances hard to secare a convic-
ton. County Attorney Richardson
and Sheriff Hall are to be congratu
lated on securing the conviction OF
Valenzuela, for it marks another ster
in the campaign of law enforcement
in Pinal county. The case of Valenzu.
elias brother went over to the nex1
term of court.
In the case of Vivian Holmes
charged with giving away intoxicat-
ing liquors in violation of the prohi
bition amendment, the jury brought il
I a verdict of not guilty, holding that i
was not violation of the law to give
away liquors. Holmes was arrested
at Ray. and the case attracted mucf
interest locally as well as at Flor
ence.

WATER USERS CLAIM
CANAL At FLORENCE

On the claim that the water users
and are therefore vested with Pc
culiar rights, holders of a lien in
the Florence canaI will today seek
the control of that canal before the
corporation commission today. The
claim is based directly on the rights
awarded to the farmers by the
courts, when it was shown that they
mad done the first improvement
work in years on the canal, this
work amounting to $25,OOO.
Briefly, the intensely interesting
history of the canal system is this:
In the middle eighties, Colonel
Thomas F. Weedin, now register OF
the United States land office col
capitalists from Carthage, Mo, to
construct the canal They built il
to the present location OF Kenilworth
nine miles southwest of Florence
They sold water rights at $40 an
acre, and served water at flat rate
Of $3.50 an acre a year.
The canal was finally sold to
Charles Pogue, of Indiana, who ap-
pears to have made more money out
of high finance than out of the
canal. He bonded the canal through
Orrin B. Taft of Chicago for $780,
English and eastern capitalists took
these bonds at par. Pogue then con.
tracted to build the Picacho reser-
voir, agreeing to give 100000 il
cash and a like sum in stock in the
company. He paid the cash, bu
never turned over any stock.
After much wrangling, over water
rights, Pogue abandoned the cana
and went to Chicago. The company
went into the hands of a receiver
with Ia # redeeming 80 per cent O
the bonds. He--seld the canal t.

$4,000, and Sharpe later sold it t,

Three years ago the water user,
on an order from court cleaned
and improved the canal-the frs
time it had been done; service hat
been almost impossible up to tha
time.
A lien amounting to $4,000 wa
attached for this work. and it is t,
