Snow On Mountains
After the Big Storm

Cold weather continues today,
though the wind was much moderated
last night and was little in evidence
today.
Following the storm, snow has been
il sight on the mountains to the west,
while reports from mountain districts
throughout the state have told of
heavy snowfall.
The storm last night was continu-
Gus from Canada to Mexico and from
the coast to the Rockies, steadily
moving eastward into the area where
exceptionally hot weather has pre-
vailed.
1t is believed considerable snow
has fallen on the upper drainage area
OF the Colorado river and that the
effect of the storm may be to raise
the discharge of the river to a de-
gree.
In the valley the cantaloupe crop
has apparently suffered some loss and
some fruit has been shaken from the
trees. Cotton has been checked in its
growth, but as whole there probably
has not been much damage.
No rain accompanied the wind in the
valley.

Preparations are being made for
large shipments OF ores to the custom

the management, the medium grades
ranging from 7 to Is per cent while
the high grades range from IS to SO

The United Verde Extension Com

of several very important adjoining

COCAINE SOLD TO
SOLDIERS AT PANAMA

PANAMA. June II. ASSOCIATED
Press Cor.)-Captain +. w. Coleman,
L. 5. A., commanding the patrol COM
pany. who has been Investigating the
illegal traffic in cocaine in the canal
zone. states he found many OF the
habitues OF the tendcrioin district OF
Panama not only were addicted to the
cocaine habit but also were acting as
agents for several OF the largest drug
stores in the city in the sale OF the
drug. He obtained conclusive evil
dcnce showing the connection be
tween the small peddlers and the
large vendors. He ascertained also
hat in many instances the soldiers
and others can easily obtain the drug
lirect from leading drug stores.
1t has been learned that between
100 and $50 soldiers have already
formed the habit and that its use has
been growing very rapidly. especially
among the recruits who have recent
ly come to the isthmus. Most OF
these young soldiers are from the in
terror OF the United States. No cases
have been found among the soldiers
OF the Twenty infantry, which
formerly was stationed near New
York city and thus probably have
come in contact with the results OF
the drug habit.
One OF the distressing features. ac-
cording to the military authorities,
is the lack OF adequate cooperation
on the part OF the national police an
thoritics of Panama. They seem TO
be willing to arrest and fine the small
peddlcrs who are mostly negroes. but
unwilling to make an example OF the
druggists. all OF whom are influential
men in the community Captain
Coleman obtained conclusive evidence
that one OF the leading druggists OF
Panama was making speciality OF
the cocaine traffic but owing to the
apathy and unwillingness OF the Pan
anna authorities was unable to obtain
adequate punishment.
The laws OF Panama do not pro
vide for more than nominal punish
mcnt upon conviction. They specify
a sentence OF 20 days in Jail. which
may be triplcd il. in the discretion OF
the mayor OF Panama such addi-
tional punishment is warranted.
Heretofore the drug store owners and
large vendors OF habit-forming
drugs have escaped with light fines.
The canal zone laws provide severe
penalty for the vending and use OF
drugs and few cases have arisen
among the white canal workers

ton has been prepared by Major H..
