NEWS OF THE DAY

The finding of the body OF Miss
Marie Fryer and her brother An
drew in the woods at Rosedale, Nd,
has set the authorities to work out
double murder. The present theory
is that the crime was committed by
tramps in search of food and loot,
who meeting stubborn resistance
the Flyers murdered both. The wo-
man was then dragged to field and
outraged. The murderers saturated
the body of the brother with oil and
set it on fire.

violent Russian attack.
Terrific hand-to-hand fighting con-
tinued yesterday in Sailly-Sallisel,

1 of reasons the, principal one being 1 that the long staple is now bringing 30 cents a pound for the lint while 1 Pima, a new variety, is bringing around J3 cents q pound. While there are only about 5000 acres in cotton in the Salt River valley this year, the prediction is thAt rom 1000 to 50-
 coo acres will be planted next spring The Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany of Ai<rcn. O., will put in from 10000 to 12O0o acres for their own use. Incidentally. this concern has just purchased 10000 acres of land south of Chandler from Dr. A. ]. Chandler for Sl .000,000 and have al- ready started on their work of devel- ormert with F. W. Hudson the
 'ounder Of long staple and the govern ment expert there as advisory di- rectors. IL is to Mr. Hudson that the valley owes its present cotton Wealtp, which this year will bring over $l.- 0o0000 in new money to the valley.
 About eight years ago Mir. Hudson. then in charge of the government eX- perime ntal station at Sacaton. began experimenting with Egyptian cotton. After perfecting a satisfactory boll he had Dr. Chandler plant some of the first seed. lt was only about three

 The operations after yesterdays ad- vance were more in the nature of open fighting. the Germans using strong points on favorable ground which were good machine positions to gain time in rallying endorsements which arrived and dig new trenches while the British dig in opposite them with each stage of the advance.

WASHINGTON. July 16.-The war department sent orders today to all department commanders to delay transportation to the border of na- tional guards organizations now mobiliz;ng until they are thoroughly equipped and organized. The effect will be to revoke ruling issued when the Mexican situation was acute, Waiving certain requirements. The order affects about 25,000 men still held in the camps.
 \ The latest information of the de- partn;ent is that about 100000 ma : tional guardsnen now are at the bor- der. With the 50,000 regulars there and 5000 additional men called from the reserves, officials estimate that there is sufficient forces to cope with any present emergency.
 Reports that national guard units
 are being supplied poor and insuffi
 cient food are not borne out in pre- limnary telegraphic reports received | from all the department commanders today. These accounts uniformly de clare that there has been no foot shortage among the guardsmen, anC that all have been supplied norma
 army rations of good quality De tailed reports are being forwarded
 and a formal statement probably vii be issued later by the department.
