Postal Receipts have Fallen off

The European war gave postal re-
ceipts a severe backset, according to
the annual report of Hon. A. M.
Dockery. Third Assistant Postmaster
General. 1t is shown that postal re-
ceipts increased yearly for the fiscal
years 1910 to 1914. inclusive, at an
average of about II per cent. Actual
postal surpluses of $3,S0O,0O0 for the
fiscal year 1913 and So, 10000 for 1914
we're covered into the treasury. '
kumblings of the impending conflict
in Europe were heard in July, 1914,
and postal receipts, the unerring
thermometer of business conditions
and barometer for coming events, as
Governor Dockery forcefully styles
Them, began to fall. A. veritable
slump occurred in August. the first
month of the war. and sharp declines

ed. Poise was regained and business
began to adjust itself to existing con-

Scraps of History
BY JOSEPH FISH

FIRST Arizona mormon (OtOny
The Second Legislature of Ari-
zona created Pah-Ute County
which had but brief existence,
being shortly after attached to
Nevada. 1t was settled early in
1865 by immigrants from Utah.
On December II, 1864, landing
and site for a warehouse, after
wards known as Calls Landing,
was selected by Arson Call on
the Colorado River. Call was
from Utah and this move was in
the interest of the Mormon"
Church, which at tnat time con-
templated sending their emf
grants from Europe, by way of
Panama, the Gulf of California,
and up the Colorado River. to
this landing, which was the head
of navigation on the river. But
very few steamers ever came up
to this place and no emigrants
ever passed over this route.
On January 8, 1865, the first
settlers from Utah arrived and
located on the lower Muddy. un-
der the charge of Thomas s.
Smith. They and others who
followed located the town of st.
Thomas. The settlements of St.
Joseph and Overton were soon
after founded. On May %, Joseph
Warren Foote was appointed to
preside at St. Joseph. This place
was partially destroyed by fire on
August 18, 1868. When this part
of Arizona was cut off and added
to Nevada, taxes were levied on
the people to such an extent that
they decided to abandon the coun-
try. The people had paid their
taxes in Arizona and now the
taxes levied by Nevada
were exorbitant, and the officials
ignored the tax receipts that the
people had from Arizona, and the
poor colonists were compelled a
double tax. They resisted in the
courts. 1t was believed that
much of these taxes were squand-
cred by the Nevada officials, and
the case was put in such muddle
that the poor tax payers never
recovered anything. The settle
ments of st. Joseph, St. Thomas
and Overton were broken up and
abandoned. The wholesale eX-
odus of some five hundred fami-
lies from the Muddy Valley COM
menced on the first of February,
1871, They had done a large
amountof work in building and on
the construction of irrigation
bitches, and were cultivating
about 5000 acres of land. A varie-
ty of fruit trees had been set out,
with quite a large number of
shade and timber trees, all of
which was abandoned, and the
colonists scattered to find homes
in other localities where taxation
was not so high or at least not
double on them.
