WHY AMERICAN LUMBER
JACkS WERE IDLE

In an editorial in its issue of June
17th, the Christian Science Monitor
says that "in year when depression
seized upon many of Canada's leading
industries, among those that assisted
materially to prevent a complete up
set of tn ebalance was lumber pro-
duction." This brief statement should
be of great interest to the American
people. A brief consideration Of i'm
port statistics shows why numbering
has been so material a factor in main
tanning business in Canada at time
when that industry is paralyzed in the
United States. The mills of the Pac-
ific coast have been closed down or
running on short time. Logging
camps have been idle and the wheels
of shingle mills do not turn. During
the month of March, 1913, under a
protective tariff, imports of shingles
into the United States amounted to
only 100000. During the same month
in 1914, the imports increased to
S195, 900, and in March, 1915 to $244,-
OO0-more than four times the amount
of the imports under protective tar
if. 1t requires no argument or COM
ment to show why the lumber indu-
stry "has prevented complete upset
of the balance" in Canada, and why
idle lumbermen are not buying ex-
tensively of foodstuffs, clothing, ma,
chinery and other commodities in the
| United States.

FLAGSTAFF POSTOFF|CE
SHOWS STRONG GAINS

The never failing index, the local
postoffice, shows remarkable gains
during the past year, which some
foreign ambassador should call to the
attention of Senator Ashurst whose
pleasing personality should procure US
at least a postofiice site, either for a
building or place where one could
be conveniently placed when your
grandson sends his grand children
after the mail.
The following is complete table
of the income at the Flagstaff office,

SOUTHERN TRAVELLER
SAYS NORTH ROUTE BEST

Phoenix, July 15.-On account Of
the large number of parties planning
to drive to the coast this summer,
there is much interest in road condi-
tions. Fred Kenyon is just back from
a trip to San Francisco and reports in
favor of the northern route. He drove
over it a few weeks ago, going via
Prescott, Kingman, Barstow and Los
Angeles, thence to Bakersfield, Fresno
and Stockton to San Francisco. Pre-
viously he had driven over on the
Yuma route and he is advising his
friends to go the northern way. From
Prescott, he made Kingman, dist
ance of 16S miles in 91a hours, most
of the road being good with the ex-
ception Of little rough, stony work
about 40 miles out of Prescott. Leav-
ing King aamttn hrfRroevrPd,
ing Kingman at three in the after
noon he drove to Needles in three
hours, and left that warm little town
at 7:30 that evening, driving to Bar
stow in the night, enjoying breakfast
at Casa del Desierto the next morn
ing. From Barstow it is a pleasant
e12 hour run.
He said that reports had it that the
Frisco travellers who cut through the
desert from Barstow to Bakersfield
found it very hard days work to
pull through, so he thought it better
to go around via Los Angeles. Lcav-
ing Los Angeles one evening at IL, he
drove through to Bakersfield, a dis
tance of 143 miles, and after a few
hours there drove on to Fresno arriv-
ing there that evening. This road
was all fine, well-signed and he had
no trouble in any way. From there in
to Stockton and San Francisco was
plain sailing. He says that an easy
schedule in every way permits one to
/ follow this route and go from Phoenix
to Frisco in 612 days without trouble.
He said that there is no sand on this
route, at least not enough to make
/ low gear work necessary.

TAX PAYERS MAGAZINE
ADVOCATES SALE or LAND

We have heard much maudlin SEN
timent expressed on the part of we'll
meaning but misguided individuals in
the state during the past two years
with reference to the preservation Of
our public lands, and for fear that
few acres might be sold under value,
the insistence has been firm, that no
land at all should be sold. Now it is
a matter of common knowledge, that
the State of Arizona is made up in
the most part of barren land; that the
Santa, Fe Railroad Company is now,
and has been, for many years ANXIOUS,
yea, even more than anxious 10 ds-
pose of its grant lands for amounts
IN some case for less than Sl.O0 per
acre; and yet with the absolute GER
tainty that the state must select
thousands of acres of just this char
acter of land, the idea has been prom
ulgated, that no land should be sold,
but should be reserved for future gen
erations; just how this character of
land is going to benefit the taxpayers
or the people Of the state is not clear,
and insistence has been had that it
should remain as the sacred property
of the state, undefied even by plow
snare and maintained in its primal
state, as the play ground and habitat
of the jack-rabbit and the coyote. The
experience of other states and the
history of other commonwealths SHOW
that the greatest benefit TO tie state
from its lands, comes from the devel-
opment thereof, by the individual
holders; and If there is any dispoSi-
ton on the part of any individual CT
group of individuals to purchase from
the State ana utilize the thousands Of
heretofore barren and unproductive
lands that it must select as its por-
ton OF the Congressional Grant, ,t IS
the sacred duty of the Land Depart
ment Of the state as now constituted,
to dispose Of such lands and place the
money in the treasury of the state for
the benefit of the taxpayers. We I'M
derstand the present law will permit
this, and we hope that no silly sent
imentalism will stand in the way Of
the proper administration of the
States resources of this character

CORNv|LlE COMMUNITY
CELEBRATES the FOURTH

If the kind editor will give us a lit
tie space, we would be glad to inform
the Sun readers that the 4th of July
extended as far south as Cornville, a
wee little burg situated on lower Oak
| Greek.
Early in the morning they began to
come in punches on horseback, in
wagons and in automobiles. Familiar
faces were seen from Camp Verde,
Beaver Creek, Middle Verde, Cotton
wood, Jerome and Clarkdale, and
when all were rounded up we had per-
haps 300 people in the bunch.
We had on board ice cream stands,
| lunch counters and dance pavilion,
all in the shade of the big cottonwood
trees along the big ditch,
Now the sport began with pony
races, while race after race was de-
cided until most every cow pony on
the ground had been tried out. Then
came racing by good horses number
of which was surely right down inter-
esting. After this was all through
and everybody thoroughly satisfied,
came the broncho riding.
Now just because we Oakcreekers
are all from Missouri, boys came from
other parts to show our boys how to
ride broncos. Three entries were
made with the broncs on the ground.
The entries were made by Alex Will
lard, of Cottonwood, Will Longdon, of
Beaver Creek, Eugene Lee, of Oak
Creek.
Mr.. Willard was called first and
came to the front with a beautiful
chestnut sorrel that did some good
performing and the boy rode like an
expert in the saddle.
Next was Will Longdon of Beaver
Creek who responded with a nice bay
bronc and in a giffie viii had his
mustang in the air almost as high as
the telephone pole that stood near by,
but unluckily for Will his horse ran
into the crowd and was held up after
which he refused to do anything more
Next came Eugene Lee native son
of Oak Creek. Gene came to the front
pulling along great mustang, Big
Brute, and while the boys twisted his
ears for Gene to get his hull sinched
one could almost see the fire flash
from his eyes. In an instant Gene
was in the saddle, the ear of the horse
was turned loose and in a giffie that
monster brute with all the activity of
a cat dashed in the air around tele-
phone poles, over piles of mosquito
stumps, changing ends in the air, and
just fairly wiping the earth in all di-

rections. Apparently unconcemed the
lad sat up there on that hurricane
deck and played his spurs from
shoulder to hip while he waved his
quirt over his head in the air. The
crowd didn't wait for the Judges de-
cision, but before the ride was fin
ished yells came from all over the
crowd, first money for Oak Creek.
The boys on Oak Creek don't always
have to be showed.
Next came the trick burro. Those
entered for the ride were: Babe Long
don, Tony Reese, Burl Coulson, Bar
ney Thompson. This burro ride was
the real ride and sport of the day.
The donkeys would be a credit to any
circus ring and those kids, well they
all rode like tigers, none of them be-
ing dislodged.
Then came the ladies race. Mrs.
Will Cook of Middle Verde took first
money.
This finished the program for the
day. In the cool of the evening both
young and old stepped across the big
ditch to the platform that had been
prepared for the occasion. where the
young people tipped the fantastic un-
til all were satisfied. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dee Johnson furnished the music for
the occasion. At 9 o'clock the COM
mittee retired to Monument hill, about
half mile distant and for the next
hour Monument hill was fairly ablaze
with fire works which greatly amused
the little folks. The celebration was
purely a success, without one single
drop of liquor on the ground. Neither
were there any resentful words ut
tered from any one.
Farmers all have their second crop

Gruesome Sidelights on War


"On the ground from the Lorette
Heights to Neuville and the Lady,
rinth," says a German general, as
quoted by an American correspondent,
"are perhaps 10000 unburied or part
ly buried dead. The stencil is pestilen-
tial. By means of hose we've thrown
creosote or quicklime upon those near
est out of trenches. AS matter of
self-preservation both sides appear
lately to have come to an unspoken
agreement to bury those nearest them
at night.
"It's ghastly beyond imagination
Words can't portray to the mind that
picture-by day and night white eyes
staring out of faces burned coal-black
by the sun. There are places where
there are veritable piles of bodies. AS
the days and weeks go by they shrivel
and shrink together like little heaps
of old clothes. Those silent heaps are
more weird by moonlight than by day.
"I wish those who cause and make
war with indifference would be put in
to that hell Of death between Neu-
vile and the Lorette Heights for a
little while"
That's the way they all talk now.
All the belligerents have learned what
war is; and whether naturally paci-
fists or militarists, they're sick of it.
The pity Of it is that they didn't rea-
lie it last July.

$l3,O67.64

which shows an increased income of
S2949.53.
The income of the Post office Is de-
rived from the sale of postage stamps,
special delivery stamps, postage due
stamps, books of stamps, postal cards,
stamped envelopes, newspaper wrap
pers, and international reply coupons !;
also the amount of box rents and the
amount collected in money on second
class matter mailed by publishers and
news agents. There are other sources
of revenue to the post office, but those
enumerated are the ones which apply
at the local Office.
Money order business for the same
period as above compares as follows:
Domestic Orders issued 1A703-l5202
Aggregate amount $132, 92.9S-S115,-
557.33.
Fees reed. $984.12-$922.O1.
Orders paid 2674-270O.
Aggregate amount $34,1S9.92-S35,-

Fees reed. $64.75-S49.05.
Orders paid Ill.
Aggregate Amt $5522. .5O-$434O.97.
The domestic money order business
shows a falling off of $16,935.65 which
is accounted for by all money order
business between the United States
and Mexico being suspended on ac-
count of the chaotic condition of al
fairs in that unfortunate country.
On the whole, this community has
every reason to feel satisfied with the
conditions of fairs as indexed by the
receipts of the local pOstotfice. The
growth has been steady, and not abb
normal. The parcel post feature OF
the service has added its share to the
receipts, and its opportunities are but
in their infancy. 1t is tiXture-has
come to stay, the people demand Its
service. For fee of &c, added to the
regular postage parcel may ne III
sured in any amount up to S25.OO; for
1Oc in any amount over $500 up to
$4,000.
The present office force consists OF
the postmaster, the assistant post
master, three regular clerks, and one
assistant clerk used at and during
seasons.
The present quarters are very
cramped, in fact entorely too small fol
the needs of the office. More mail
boxes are badly needed, the present
supply being totally inadequate. There
is also need of vault, to hold the
books, records and supplies. In cast
of fire, they would be at the mercy OF
the flames, and would be total loss
unless saved by rescuers.

Applications for Land withdraw

-Four applications Tor WlthdraWals
were received at the state land office
today, the land being in Yuma county
and representing a total Of about 92,-
900 acres and being withdrawn for
survey. That Land Commissioner W.
A. Moeur, Selector P. J. Miller and
their assistants are at work is shown
by reports on selected lands being re-
ceived at the land office. The reports
come from Cochise county and are for
about 10000 acres.

ARIZONA HEAVY USERS
OF MAIL ORDER LUMBER

Lumber from coast points is pass
ing through Yuma at the rate of 15O
carloads day. Practically all of it
is consigned to the big mining com.
panies of Globe, Miami, Ray, Bisbee
and other camps. The heavy con,
sumption of lumber is due to the gen.
eral boom in the mining industry
throughout the state.
An average carload of lumber con,
tains 10000 board feet, and the aver.
age value is $50 thousand. There,
fore the lumber that passes through
Yuma each day is worth $45,000.
