Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
no conception of the magnitude of
the laboratory where this medicine

purpose and cost several thousand

and the United States supply the

PIONEER DAY

The next great holiday celebra
ton in this valley is Pioneer Day
July Gath. This holiday has always
been observed by the people gather
ing together in one of the towns
A parade, representative of the
brave men and women who blazed
the trail through the unknown
West, to find homes, cultivate the
lands and build beautiful cities in
the New Empire, has always been
the leading feature of the ceIebra-
tion. After the parade, appropriate
exercises are held at the church.
In the afternoon program of ath'
letic sports, ball game and horse
races is carried out. The day wind
ing up with a grand ball at night.
1t was suggested that the celebra-
ton of Pioneer Day might be held
at Pima, in which event the entire
valley would join and make sue
cessful day, but we learn that Pima
does not want the celebration this
year, in which event it would come
to Stafford and Layton.
Pioneers Day should be cele-
brated in grand style this year, and
as the time is short, the committee
on arrangements should get busy on
a program.
1t has been suggested that bar
beque be held. and if the committee
can see its way clear to accomplish
this, it would be good plan to have
one; but. as there is considerable
work in getting up barbecue, it
might be dispensed with, and a
regular old-fashioned picnic be held
in the park.
A parade of the well-known fea
lures commemorative of Pioneer
Day could easily be gotten up and
successfully carried out. Literary
exercises could be held at Layton
Hall. In the afternoon ball game,
athletic sports and horse racing.
At night a grand ball to wind up
the days festivities.
1t would be we'll for committee
from Layton and committee from
the afford Chamber of Commerce
to hold a meeting at once and get
busy on a program for the celebra-
ton.

ARIZONA RAILROADS
Are Taxed $9l,O4l,472 for
the Year 1916 --Cochise
Leads in Valuation

There are 2,1S6, ,728 miles of rail-
road in Arizona valued for the pur-
poses of taxation at a total of $91,-
041 ,472 70. These figures have just
been given out by the State Tax
Commission.
Last year the mileage was 2,243,-
519 and the valuation was 800, ,204,
403.5 The difference amounts to
less than a million dollars.
The greatest difference was in the
valuation placed on the Ray q Glla
Valley line, which includes frac-
ton over nine miles of track. In
1914 the commission valued this
road at STA 500 a mile, the highest
valuation in the entire State. This
year the mile valuation is down to
$4,000, reducing the total from
81, ,O7O, ,O02 so to 1852. 2.9l9.20. Some
of the earnings charged against the
railroad in 1914 are this year charged
to the Ray mine, so the revenue de-
rived by the State and Pinal county
will be practically the same.
A raise of approximately $4,000
mile is made in the valuation
placed on the Santa Fe main line,
The valuation of the other roads re-
main practically the same.
Two railroads have been built in
the last year and appear on the
1915 tax roll for the first time.
They are the Magma and Mascot
lines. The Mascot is fifteen miles
long and is valued at $4,000 At
the same rate, $1,000 a mile, the
Magma road is valued for purposes
of taxation at $58,800,

MOST INTERESTING STATE

In the recent issue of the Sunset
Magazine, Walter Woehlke, special
writer, in an article, entitled The
Land of Painted Hills, story of
Arizona, concludes with the follow
ing paragraphs:
Arizona is the most interesting
of the forty. seven states. There is
not a dull, commonplace square
mile in all its territory; even the
desert, the crystal clear air, the
strange cacti, the rich flora and
queer fauna of the waste places
have deep interest for him who has
eyes to see the glory of the sunset,
to whose understanding the low
hung stars of the desert night can
speak. The geologist be he bent on
the acquisition of knowledge or the
discovery of new lodes behind pair
of burros. can find food for endless
study in the greatest cOpper-pro'
ducing state in the world; the arch
aeologist has not yet solved the
mystery of the lost race which built
the ten thousands known cliff dwell
ings in every part of the State,
which left the ruins of Casa Grande
and Montesuma's Castle, For the
ethnologist there is no finer field of
observation than the pueb'os of the
Navajos, the Hopis and Zunis on
the Painted Desert. The mere
sightseer has the Grand Canyon, the
Petrified Forest, the remarkable
Mission San Xavier at Tucson, the
unique motor ride from Globe, the
copper camp, through the mount
aims of the Roosevelt National Re-
serve to Phoenix. For the sports
man, the hunter and angler the en-
tire center of Arizona offers a
mountainous, timbercd upland al
most unknown beyond the limits of
the State and, if he had abundant
leisure, the territory to the north
of the Grand Canyon, in the Kaibah
National Forest, will astonish him
with the abundance of its big game.
The cattleman with chaps and spurs,
the tanned prospector behind his
laden burrOs, the Indian with blanket
and ola step aside on the Arizona
roads to let the motor car pass.
Nowhere else in the West do the
shadows of the prehistoric past, the
types of the frontier, the manners
and customs of pioneer days mingle
so intimately, so artlessly with the
ultra modern as in Arizona. Who
ever has not seen Arizona. he does
not know America"

GIRLS CANNING CLUBS

Leader of boys and girls club
work makes second trip thru the

bers and organizing new clubs.
1t is evident from the interest
shown by the girls at Thatcher and
Pima that considerable part of the
surplus garden and orchard products
will be taken care of and turned to
profitable use this coming season.
Following a canning demonstra.
ton by Leland S. Parke, Agent of

of Agriculture, cooperating with the
United States Department of Agri,
culture, twenty-one girls at Thatch-
er enrolled for the canning club
work and Pima's enrolment will
come close to that mark when the

The women folks are very active
in encouraging the work among the
girls. Several reasons for this, but
there is one reason worthy of ex.

and enthusiasm of the girls creates
desire to can everything, even their
beaux when they come to see them.
This relieves mother of canning (the
beaux) entirely and hence means

it. mothers: Nov, daughter, you

VETS MUST FEEL BLUE
Over Public Utilities Decision that

Authority over service and rates of

RADIO is vested in the State Public Util-
tiles Commission, regardless of whether
the utilities are located in socalled
"Home Rule" cities operating under
special charters, according to decision
handed down by that body recently in
the case of the Castle Rock Mountain
Railway and Park company VS.. The
Denver Tramway company.
No private contract containing dis
criminatory provisions or unjust rates
or furnishing discriminatory service
may stand, nor may unreasonable or
discriminatory rates remain effective
even tho embodied in franchise adopt
ed by vote of the people, if proper
action to annul such rates is brought
before the commission, states the de-
cision.
Because of the statewide interest
in the prohibition question, and local
interest in other questions pending and
which are closely in point, this decision
is of considerable Importance in the
opinion of attorneys. 1t follows closely
along the line of decisions by state
supreme courts, and even of the United
States court, that any integral unit of
body polite necessarily must be SUBJ
servient to the statutes of that body
polite, when these statutes are legally
and constitutionally adopted, else end
less confusion and chaos would result.
The decision cites authorities to show
that the police and general supervisory
powers of state are superior to the
police or supervisory powers of any
component part of that state, whether
county, district, city or town, in all
| matters common to the state at large
or having more than local interest. Only
