PAYMENTS

FIRST ASSISTANT SECRETARY A.
A. JONES GRANTS FURTHER
TIME TO MAKE DEFERRED Paw
MENTs ON PARKER LOTS.

Pursuant to the request Of many
persons who purchased lots in the
Parker townsiie in May; 1910, and
upon which they owe the government
Tor deferred payments On the pur-
chase price OF the same, the matter
of requesting another extension for
the payment of the balance on said
lots was taken up with the depart
nsent Of the interior by the board Of
l1ade several weeks ago.
The following letter from First
Assis snt Secretary A. A. Jones Is
self-exp;anatory, and the fact that an
cther extension has been granted by
'.h.s oepar ment will be good news to
the many investors who have made
payments on their lots, but owing
TO the uncertain conditions have been
unable to pay up in full
Department of the Interior, Wash
ington, November 19, 1915.
Mr.. j. B. Flanagan, President Par
ker Board OF Trade, Parker, Ari-
zona
Dear Mr.. Flanagan In response
to your letter of October %, 1915,
you are advised that the townsite Of
Parker was created under the act
of April 30, 1908. (35 Stat, 77.)
The townsite contains over 900
acres and has been surveyed into
lots and blocks and appraised. April
9. 1910, instructions were issued to
the register and receiver for the pub
lie sale of the lots In said townsite,
to take place at Parker on May 10,
1910. In said instructions 1t was
provided that on any bid OF $25 or
less full payment must be made, and
on bids exceeding $25 payment OF
that amount must be made on accept
ance of the bid, the remainder to. be
paid to the receiver at Phoenix, Ari-
hOAA<tJ Oli OA NGlOfc ANOsC4DGI L, AV1V.
The deferred payments have, since
November l, 1910, from year to year
for five years, been extended, the
last extension being to November l,
1915. L.
1t appears from the records in this
office that the Colorado River Indian
Arizona, in which reser-
walton said townsite is located, has
not been opened to entry, for the
reason that no means have been as
yet devised for irrigating the lands.
Several bills have been introduced
in congress for the irrigation and
opening of said reservation, but no
bill has as yet been enacted therefor.
1t is for these reasons that the for
mer extensions have been granted,
and inasmuch as the townsite is in
the same condition as heretofore, /
have this day again extended the
time in which to make the deferred
payments on lots in the townsite of
Parker for one year from November
1, 1915. Cordially yours,
ANDRIEUS A. JONES.
First Assistant Secretary.

She looks, a man Is never older than
he feels. In consequence of this,
he was not a little peeved and put

young fellows passing along in an

Woodruff; could | have got thold of

The girl looked at him in dim, I'M
comprehending way. During the six
months that he had spent in New
Mexico, at the hotel where she as
sisted her father, Ralph Brunton had
come to mean everything to her.
Her indolent father, having
amassed a comfortable fortune as the
landlord of the most prosperous hotel
along the coach route, had had the
means to educate his daughter at the
convent at Santa Fe. Juanita had all
the, Spanish charm and grace, now,
with the education and refinement
gotten from the good sisters she
could have picked her choice of the
wealthy sUitors for her hand.
But Ralph Brunton seemed utterly
different from the rough ranchers
and prospectors who stayed at the
hotel, tried to f1irt with her and went
away. He had never attempted any
liberties with her. In his presence,
under his respect, her high spirits
were subdued to a timid, wistful en-
deavor to win his regard.
And she, too, had come to mean
everything to him, though he dared
not admit it to himself. Because

that Ralph; fresh from college, should
