NORTH YUMA
GETS THE AXE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MAKE
\ sDNJUST AND UNFAIR APPOR-
tTloNMENT OF THE HALF MIL
| FUNDS.

In the apportionment OF the half
m:llion dollars to be expended by
Yuma county in the construction OF
highways, the northern part OF the
cpunty has been allotted much less
than its just proportion.
At meeting of the board of super
@isors recently resolution was ad-
Cpled purporting an apportiOnment of
the $500,00 realized from the sale of
good roads bonds. The resolution sets
forth that the said apportionment is
based on the assessed valuation,
etc, and winds up by apportioning
oily 100000 for the proposed high
way between Parker and the Marico-
"a county line, via Bouse, Vicks
Durg and Wenden
i,ouse- Yuma road, and it is doubt
ful that $4,000 of this sum would
be expended on the road between
jouse and Quartzsite, the balance
going into the road in the southern
erd of the county. 1t is our belief
that such road is not required, as
Quartzsite does all of her business
al Bouse
Il will thus be readily seen that
northern Yuma county receives only
$4,000 of the $5O0,O0O, which, based
OIL the assessed valuation of the
ncrthern portion of the county, is an
unjust apportionment. AS this part
OF the county pays approximately 20
oef cent OF the total taxes of the
county our share of the road money
should be 100000, instead of $4O,-
OO0.
The county tax rate this year has
'Jeen raised to $1.3O7 per hundred
al. increase over last year of Al
cents per hundred, or about 46 per
cent. This is only the county tax,
VI ich added to the state tax of 54
cents, totals $1.847 per hundred Ma
ttEally the taxpayers of northern
Yuma county would like to know just
What they are receiving for this ex-
TIA taxation. Surely We are not go
ing to receive our just proportion
OF the road funds, according to the
resolution apportioning said funds.
Southern Yuma county is we'll
taken care of by the proposed appor
tiOnment. The minimum apportion-
ment to the Yuma valley is fixed at
$285, 900, and $4,000 has been ap-
portioned for the construction of the
Phoenix road
The most incongruous part of the
resolution reads; THAT the above
distribution appears to be fair and
proper"
At the bottom of the resolution is
appended these words: Approved by
the advisory board" G. A. Marsh,
the member of the advisory board
from Parker denies that he approved
Such a resolution. In fact he says
ever since his appointment he has
been unable to ascertain what the
advisory board is doing in the mat
ter, or what it has done. He stated
this week to a representative of the
Post that he wrote the chairman of
the board several months ago, asking
for information as to the time of the
meetings, ETC., and up to date he has
not received a reply to his letter.
All of which goes to show that the
member Of the board from this part
OF the county was not consulted in
any OF the actions of the board in
reference to the apportionment of
the highway funds.

CATO Sells Denies Report.
In a dispatch sent out by the AS
sociated Presa and dated from Wash
ington, Sept. Is, Cato Sells, Indian
commissioner, denied that he had
issued orders for the removal of the
Mohave Indians near Needles to the
Parker reservation, However, it is
known that heretofore employees of
the Indian office have been active in
trying to induce Indians from the Ft
Mojave reservation to take allotments
in the Parker reservation. The re-
cent emphatic protest of the local
Indian tribe against giving their
lands away to Indians belonging to
other reservations has evidently been
effective.

Railroads to Pau Full Value

A bill of much importance to stockmen slipped through Sen- ate during the last minutes of the session. It was the Cum m ing's bill which prohibits rail- road companies from putting an arbitrary value of $10 on each animal; compelling the shipper to waive any damage in excess of that amount in case of acci- dent.
 Under the new law the shipper will be able to collect the actual value of animals killed or injured in transit. -Coconino Sun.

Kansas City Cattle
 and Sheep Prices

kansas City Stock Yards, April 5, 1915. An advance of 10 to 25 cents on most kinds of cat tie was the result of the week s trading. Heavy beef steers, bulls and veal calves were ex- captions. The supply today is 10000 head, and the market has the same tendency it had last week, strong on everything ex- cept the big steers, which are steady. Prime heavy steers stop around S8.25, but choice baby beeves sell up to S8. 50, in- cluding odd head of heifers. Good to choice cows sell at $6 to $6.75 a few up to ST. bulls neg lected along with heavy steers $5 to $6.25, veal calves lower. $9. % to $10.25. Receipts today included 20 cars of Northern Colorado fed western steers, which sold at ST. .35 to $7.6O. and panhandle steers at $6.80 to S7.75, to both killers and feeder buyers, One 5 car drove fed on milo maize, and cottonseed meal, four months brought S7.50, 1046 lbs. av. sold to killers. In the quarantine division, 19 cars ar rived, of which Il cars were consigned by Furneax Brothers. Trinity Mills, Texas, which sold at $7.35 for yearlings weigh ing $50 pounds. and $7.20 for steers weighing 1150 pounds, 15 and 20 cents, respectively, above what steers from same feed lots brought a week ago. Spring like weather has apparently ar rived, and proved a help to the general market today. Packers claim the amount, realized from cattle by-products is three to five dollars a head lead now than it was March 1st, the prices of hides having dropped 6 cents a pound in that time. This is one reason why the cattle market does not improve more rapidly. Choice stockers and feeders sell at ST. 25 to S7.85. about the same as at this time last year, and out of line with fat steers now of course. but justified by po- pular opinion of what fat steers will be worth in June and there after. Sheep and lambs are firm. ten loads of lambs bringing S10.00 today. top price. Of these 8 loads were from Ft. Collins and Timnath, and 2 loads from the Arkansas Valley. Some ewes brought $7.90, wethers worth up to $8.25. Texas we thers sold last week at $7. 65 and S7. 75, weighing 98 pounds. Re ceipts today $500 head. and the supply will be light here for a month or more ahead.

cannot help aoueiu r. he display of
agricultural power machinery, the al
most complete supersedence Of the

old models on exhibition, while the
caterpillar principle has been applied
to almost every type Of engine for ag-

The caterpillar proper is a heavy
sheet metal chain, varying in width
from ten inches to two feet according
to the weight of the engine, which
passes around two heavy sprocket
wheels like belt These wheels re-
volving, pass the chain about them,
the lower part moving backward, with
