Reduction Of Postal Rates

Washington, Dec. "a move
ment is being launched for the re-
adjustment of postal rates in the
next session of Congress. This
problem was to have been taken up
at the last session, but had to be
deferred on account of the consid-
Grafton required by railway mail
pay. A zone system OF rates for
second class matter is being promi-
nently urged to take the place of
the present fiat rate which was
adopted nearly forty years ago.
The postal committees have been
besieged by petitions bearing mil
lions of names and several hundred
thousand letters from individuals
urging a readjustment of postal
rates with view of making posi-
BILE one cent letter postage. A
survey of the situation indicates
that sufficient changes will be made
in the various rates to permit the
granting of one cent rate on local
delivery letters in the next session
of Congress.
Chairman Moon, of the House
Postal Committee, today said: l
think that the committee will take
up this second-class mail matter at
the next session and press it to a
conclusion at once. While / can
not speak for the committee, this is
my desire in the matter. I do not
know what kind of a bill we will
pass, whether it will have zone
feature attached to it or not. This
view has been presented frequently
in years past, and sometimes re-
ceived favor and sometimes not.
AS to what shape the legislation
will be in I am not able to say, but
I am sure the committee will give
it the best possible shape in the
public interest" :"

Bonds sold for county
highway improvement in the
opinion Of road specialists of
the department, should never
run for more than 80 years,
and retirement even earlier is
better where this can be aC-
complished without too great
an increase in the tax rate.
1t is dangerous practice to
have bonds run for a long
period, because in such cases
the Indebtedness often out
lives the estimated life of the
improvements made with the
money so raised. Money
borrowed to build roads
should be repaid by those
who enjoy the benefit of the
Improvements thus financed,
and not be a debt upon those
who gain no benefit from the
expenditure.

True progress in the art [of
mining1, Says the Mining and
Engineering World, is more
apt to berecorded in the low
grade mines, especially those
containing copper, lead and
zinc, where small economies
may make the difference be-
tween profit and loss, and SO
it comes that the best prac-
tice and the most modern in
vestigations may be found in

Buying Mining Stock

The following was recently sent
in as a guide to those contemplate
ing the purchase of mining stock.
We publish it in full.
Mining stock should be bought
in the dark of the moon from a
total stranger. If possible, pay
him in lead money. Mining stock
is useful for several things. The
long, narrow certificates are good
for laying up Oh the pantry shelves.
The short, fat ones can be used in
the bottom of drawers.
The handsomely engraved GER
.tifcates on handmade paper, can
be rolled up and used for killing
flies. You should, of course, buy
your stock carefully and choose
the size that will come in ilandiest.
Several enterprising companies
are now putting out stock which
comes in assorted sizes and can be
used for doilies, paper spills, shaw
ing paper and table cloths. There
is,a general complaint because the
ink on many of the certificates is
injurious to health. If some COM
pany will put out a line of mining
stock on perfectly blank and steri1-
lied paper it will make a great hit.
Low-grade mining stock should
be bought just before housec1ean-
ing. It can then be laid under the
carpets during the summer. Late
in the fall it can be taken up and
used for bedding the horse.

The Colorado River was reached
by two of the early Spanish ex-
plorers from Mexico in 1910. One
of the explorers was Me1chior
Diaz, who came across country
and went only a short distance
above Yuma, and the other was
fernando de Alarcon, who came
in boats from western Mexico.
Owing to the custom of the natives
of carrying frebrands in winter
with which to warm themselves
Diaz named the stream Rio del
Tizon (Firebrand River), name
more distinctive than the present
one, which often causes considera-
bic confusion because no part of
the river is in the State of Colora-

The desert animals of the south
west are small and not often in
sight. The rats, which live in
large colonies in the sandy areas,
are nocturnal, and most of their
companions have the same habit.
Various lizards and the bold little
horned toad are abundant, and in
places the variety of rattlesnake
known as sidewinder" is found.
This common name refers to his
side1ong motion both in locomotion
and attack. The rare tiger rattler
lives in the rocks,in many out of
the way places. The ella mon
ster is reported from the Colorado
bottoms near Needles and even
along Virgin River in southern
Utah. The larger lizard known as
the chuckwalla may be seen here
and there, and the Indians find him
as palatable as shicken. The tor
toise roams widely over the desert
and his empty shell, from eight to
ten inches long, is a common sight.

The history of the aborigines in
Arizona is extensive, for on plains,
on mesas, and in the cliffs there
are many ruins of places occupied
by the early people. Some of these
ruins must be very old. However,
it is believed that the number of
people living in the region at any
time may not have been great, for
the aborigines frequently moved
from place to place. The early ex-
petitions of the Spanish explorers
found many pueblos. The. first
Spaniard to enter Arizona was
Marcos de Mia, a Franciscan friar,
who crossed the southwest corner
in 1889. A year later Mia led
Coronado to the Pueblo country,
and two small expeditions from
this great exploring party visited
the Hopi country. The present
Indian population of the state is
nearly $4,000.
The word Arizona is taken from
the Papago language, in which it is
said to signify place of small
springs.-U. S. Geological Survey.

Arizona in as simple and

At the same time it is COM

Wireless Telegraphy on National
Forests

Albuquerque, N. M, Dec. -
A message received here this morn
ing from District Forester Reding-
ton, who is inspecting the Apache
National Forest in Arizona, states
that wireless message was trans
mitted yesterday from the Baseline
Ranger Station to Clifton. The
distance is forty miles. This is
believed to be the first time that
wireless has been used in transact
ing National Forest business.
The outfit was installed by Forest
Ranger Warner and Ray Potter of
Clifton and cost $500. An ordi-
nary telephone line between Cliff
ton and Baseline would cost at
least $4,000 per mile or 81 ,OOO.00
The transmittal of the message
demonstrates the practicability of
overcoming the heavy static" in
cident to the dry climate of the
southwest, and forest officers hope
that wireless telephony will be the
next development in the national
forest communication system.
Wireless telephony would eliminate
the cost of special telegraph opera
tors incident to an ordinary wire
less system and would be of in
calculable value in combating
forest fires and transacting general
forest business.

American Red Cross unit at Bel
grade, Servia, during the three
times that city was under siege.
The author visited Benson this
summer while recuperating from
his arduous duties, and has return
ed to Europe to continue in the
great work. When one realizes
that of the 800 physicians and sur
geons who went there some months
ago 24O died of typhus and other
causes, it shows the dreadful situa-
ton.

The Important Question
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES 7. cRoZIER.

wilt thou be made whole?" is what
Jesus said
To the man as he lay at the pool;
That same has been heard by thou
sands since,
Which many reject as a rule.
There is surely no neutral ground
my friend,
That's a fact, that is certainly true,
If you do not accept Gods son while
here.
You must take what will come TO
you.
Don't say you're as good as some
others you know,
While that may be perfectly true.
Il will surely not pass at tho judg-
ment day.
When the question is asked Of you
You may see many Of loved ones there
Whose places will be on the right
But if you reject Jesus your place is
not where
We are told there will never come
night.
May these words I write cause some
ono to pause
And to think Of that life to come,
And TO turn from sin and It's evil ef-
fects.
To get ready for that sweet home
And to live forever with Jesus there
Who gave His dear life to save.
And be happy with Him through Eter-
nifty
When they shall come forth from
the grave.
Oh, fill us, dear Jesus. from day to
day
With love for Thee, song and
Let Thy presence he with us, ouI
hand in Thine,
Then we shall be happy always;
Then some blessed day when We
reach the end,
Thine own dear face we'll behold
In that sweet home above, where
cometh no night.
And its streets arc all paved witt
