GIT ' AND CLIMATE
 PRAISED
From Tuesdays Daily.l

You have a beautiful little city here and my only regret is that my visit will end tomorrow. It is my first visit, to this part of the West and my wife and myself have enjoyed every minute of our weeks stay. The country is very different from the section where I live and in my travels I have not viewed any more beauti- ful scenery than right in this coun- ty."
 Thus spoke R. H. Appelyard yes terday, who has been a sojourner here for the past week as a guest of his lifelong friend Ed. Kiehl, the plumber. In fact Mir. KiehI learned his trade under the visitor, who halls from Humberstone, Ontario, Canada, just across the international boun- dary, about 20 miles from Buffalo.
 My section is flat and in marked contrast to your beautiful hills" he said, 'and for that reason they are all the more appreciated. I have made a number of trips to various sections of your county and everything was new to me. am particularly i'm pressed with your beautiful and equable climate, and if this is sam pie of it, 1 can truthfully say it would be hard to duplicate it either in this or my country"
 Mir. and Mrs. Appleyard arc on their way to the expositions, first go- ing to San Diego and then to the big show at San Francisco. After that they will journey north to Portland, Seattle and Spokane, and then cross over the line to Vancouver. On their -eturn trip they will stop few days 1t Salt Lake and other points of in crest.

Boom Begins For
 Farming Lands

Former Commissioner J. NJ. w. Moore stated yesterday there is a pronounced revival prevailing in this county among locators of farming lands, and in the past few months over 1000 acres had been filed upon in various sections, each of 160 acres. Others were making investigations and it was believed this year would exceed that of any other in locations.
 The land movement is not confined to any particular locality, but em- braces those sections where the rail- road is convenient, in the main. Yes terday w. A. Fielder, of Humboldt, made application for 160 acres near the old Bowers ranch in Agua Fria valley, to be used as a homestead. Scrip transactions also are quite heavy, and reach into the thousands of acres.

HIGH PRICE ZINC CAUSE OF DEAL
 BEING CLOSED
OLD SNAPLES GROUP is SOLD AND NEW OWN FRS SAID TO HAVE BIG SHOWING.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 With zinc reaching higher price than ever known, quite an important deal has resulted in the Turkey Creek region, in which James Cleator and Richard Umlah have taken over the old Snaples group, and are now ac- lively operating. The price paid was not learned.
 The property is situated on Poland creek, and had been practically aban- doned many years ago by the original owner, on account of the low price of that metal Arrivals from the camp few days ago stated there was exposed six-foot body of ore, carrying mainly zinc values, with silver as bi-product. The showing was said to be remarkable, such min eral condition never having been seen in the country. Cleator & -Umiah will begin shipping out of Turkey at once.
 For the past thirty years that field has been active until recently in silver mining, but the sharp advance in zinc has revived the country for its possi-
 ;lities in zinc.

ID REBUILD ROAD WITH PRIVATE
 FUNDS
w. s. WILHELM WILL OUT LAY LARGE SUM TO THE HASSAYAMPA; MACHIN- FRY ARRIVES.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

w. s. Wilhelm, mining man who entered this field last fall and made quite large investments, is an ener. getic operator, and one whose efforts are to be lauded for the interest he manifests in building wagon roads by outlaying quite heavy sum of money.
 Wilhelm received on Sunday from his California mining camp, a large grading machine, blows, scrapers and other mechanical utilities, as well as mules and wagons. He started work yesterday at his New State camp on the Jersey Lily road toward this city, and stated there will be no let up until the twelve miles are made ready for auto traffic. This roadway is in bad shape, and has been withdrawn from the county system.
 Wilhelm stated yesterday the road is difficult to travel from its limited use in recent years, and in making necessary repairs expects to outlay several hundreds of dollars from his individual resources asking no assist ance whatever from public channels. He has three camps now running in full blast, at the Elk, the Perry and the New State, as well is he ready to close the deal for another group on a cash basis, as soon as the details can be arranged.
 With the old Jersey Lily road again on the map, mining in that zone of the Hassayampa district will be en- couraged as well as benefited.

THE MAKING OF THE FLAG

Tbe American Flag floats today over ma
ton united for peace and honor. 1t is the
earnest hope of every American citizen worthy
Of the name that there may be for us no
spcIions night Of combat, and it is the faith
Of every good citizen that if peace cannot be
Preserved with honor, the country will be just
rs united in righteous war as it is in righteous
peace.
The Stars and Stripes today stand in the
eyes of the world for justice, for mercy, for
humanity. Justice in the equality of treatment
melted out to the warning nations; mercy in the
readiness of national sympathy and national
aid for the sufferers on the battle-fields and
the homeless and hungry in the towns and vii
ages; humanity in the steadfast purpose not
to add to the horrors of war by any needless
belligerent act of our own. We cannot expect
chat bclligerents will recognize the full meas
IRE of orr neutrality, nor even that all our citi-
tens of alien descent will do So Their ties of
blood and kindred and long tradition are part
81 with the homeland and SO too are their warm
<>1npathies Whatever attitude or practice Of
ours under international law happens to work
out to the advantage of the enemy, seems to
i6em IN unneutral attitude or practice, and
ihey are apt to complain. But we have entire
Iaith that if America is unwilIingly drawn into
iie struggle, these citizens of alien descent will
bot do less than their share to uphold national
honor and integrity of purpose.
IN the eyes of the neutral nations, America
'eatls the world in these acts of justice, mercy
immunity That is a matter of patriotic pride
|or those who dwell under the broad folds Of
tie Stars and Stripes.
But II is not alone in international relations
that we may justly feel the pulse of pride upon
The day that stands above all others for Ameri-
earl patriotism. Under our Flag opportunity.
Is d common word. In our democracy each
man and woman may share in the national life

patriotic anniversary.

Russell F. Downing, member OF the

from injuries received at Waikiki

ing a shallow dive from the shore,
Downing miscalculated his distance
and crashed headlong to the saBa 1t
developed that the force of the TALL
was sufficient to fracture his skull
and break his neck. and after the first
examination by the doctors. little hope
was held out for his recovery. He was
taken to the Queens hospital, where
he fingered until 7:40 o'clock Sunday
morning, when he passed away quiet,

in Honolulu there are many who, al
though they knew him only short
time, will sincerely mourn his loss. In

He was just 81 years Of age. and grad
uated from Stanford University last
May. Just prior to the departure Of
the baseball team for Honolulu. With
his college course a clean page on his
record and his career just opening be
fore him, the death of the young ath-

that arrangements were being made to
take the remains home in the Lurline.

rumber of stripes and certain number of
stars These are the symbols, not the reality.
The Flag is made up of the American people
and what they do and think and strive for. 1t
is made up of individual hopes and aspirations
and ambitions and ideals, all welded in one
mighty mass of national life, moved not by
Inonarchs and imperial courts, ukases or royal
.rrocIamations but by the impulses of the peo
pie, the power of public opinion.
The banker has his part in the making of the
Flag, and so has the miner The engineer who
turns deserts into fruitful fields by the magic of
reclamation weaves his achievement into the
Flag and SO does the surveyor with his transit
and the laborer with his pick and shovel. The
brains that open the west with railroads driven
through mountains; the brains that move
cotton-cargoes from Galveston or iron ore from
Duluth; the hands that fell forests and till the
"i:eIds-these help make the Flag American
hands and brains are at work in far places in
the making of this Flag of ours-in the Philip
pines, bringing order and law and education
among wild tribes; in Alaska, opening vast
new empire for>the American democracy and
q new land for industrial developments in
Panama, defeating disease, joining the oceans.
There is especial opportunity in Hawaii for
helping to make the Flag. The moulding of a
population into American citi-
zens is an opportunity no less than duty. In
this territory=wide work every hand may help.
The teacher i1f the schools, the pastor in the
pulpit each has manifest opportunities, but SO
too has the plantation manager, the luna, the
officeman; the clerk in the shop; the motorman
on the street-car; the lawyer, the doctor, the
editor, the public official, the poor and the
rich. True patriotism consists in acts as much
as in attitudes 1t is courtesy and kindness
and forbearance; it is the s'square deal = IN
business as in private relations; it is emery and
initiative and courage; it is the devotion of all
these things and more to the betterment of the
community and through the community to that
larger body which we call the nation

STARS and STRIPES WAVE over
GREAT JAPANESE Celebration

c. w. Ashford, Wallace r. harrington
and Rear-Admiral c. B. T. Moore.
Their themes were similar. A brief
history of the origin of the Fourth of
July was propounded and the children
were urged to hold allegiance to Amer
lea, the country in which they were
born. CT which they are citizens and in
which the majority of them will live
and die.
Mr.. Thayer spoke first. He was fol
lowed by Judge Ashford.
Il find,' said the latter, that the
acting governor has stolen the first
han of my speech and have no doubt
that Mr.. Harrington. who will speak
after me, has stolen the other half, so
that when you have heard them you
can see what a really excellent Grafton
Il came prepared to deliver
Admiral Moore sketched the early
history of the United States with the
idea of showing how, with the organi-
zaticn of the Colonies, the United
States guaranteed freedom to every
man. He also spoke Of the friendly re-
laticns existing between the mother
country of the parents of the. as.
sembled ehildren-JapanEand the
United States.
Mr. Harrington opened his address
by quoting from President Wilson's
speech recently delivered at PhiladeE
phia to newly naturalized American
citizens He said:t
I'VE came to America, either our
selves or in the persons of our ances-
tors, to better the ideals of men, to
make them see finer things than they
had seen before, to get rid of the
things that divide. and to make sure Of
the things that unite. 1t was but his
torical accident, no doubt, that this
country was called the United
States and yet | am very thankful
that it was the word united" in its
title: and the man who seeks to d.
vide man from man, group from group.
interest from interest. in the United
States, is striking at its very heart.
To illustrate the nature of allegiance
to one's country, Mr.. harrington told
the story Of how, in the revolutionary
days, Benedict Arnold had turned
traitor to America by entering into a
plot to deliver a certain fortress to the
British, had been discovered and had
escaped. The situation was consid-
cred grave by Gen. Washington. He
did net know who might turn against
him. He turned to the captain of the
guard for the night and said, Il be-
lieve can trust you.
The speaker urged the children to.
at ali times carry in their minds the
tribute paid by Washington to the
captain OF the guard, and to conduct
themselves on every occasion as
American citizens.
Mr.. harrington took occasion to con
graduate Mr. Sheba ON the success of
the cutting and for the inspiration fur
nisIed On independence Day.
The children and their parents and
friends spent the entire day at the
park. After the exercises there we're
games and refreshments. 1t was
tired but happy lot of kiddies that the
street cars carried into town as even
ing fell.
