NEW EXPRESS RATES
Arizona Corporation Com.
missions Bulletin of Rates
on Milk and Cream

The following bulletin has beer
issued by the Arizona Corporation
Commission.
We wish to direct your attention
to Supplement No. 2, Wells Fargo
& Company Express Local Commod,
ity Tariff, No lS9; |. c. c., No.
475l; A. c. c., No. Ia: effective,
January 25, 1915, establishing a new
schedule of rates on mix and cream
between all offices within the State
of Arizona, also an interstate traffic
Nsetween Arizona and New Mexico.
This schedule created reductions
in tho rates heretofore existing
ranging from thirty to fifty per
cent.
In order to obtain the benefit of
these rates, IL is necessary for the
patrons of the company to deliver
to and take shipments from the de-
pot or office of the express company.
Inquiry developes the fact that
the old rates are being charged in
some instances because the express
company is still performing wagon
service, and investigation reveals the
further fact that in most instances
the patrons of the COMPANY have
not been informed regarding the
tariff requirements as to delivery
service.
In the case of inbound shipments,
if cOnsigneeS desire to perform their
own delivery service, we suggest
that the express company be notified
to that effect and that they be re-
quested to give prompt notice by
telephone, or otherwise, as may be
mutually agreed, of the arrival of
consignments of milk and cream.
This will Obviate the necessity of
useless trips TO the station, and we
believe the express company will be
plea>ru to cooperate in such an ar
rangement.
If excess charges have accrued on
shipments moving subsequent to
January 25th, where the delivery
service has been performed by ship
per and consignee, claim should be
presented for refund, and in the
event adjustment is not promptly
made, we shall be glad to have you
refer the matter to us for investi-
cation.
Yours truly.

Rate Expert.

BALL CLUB FOR Stafford

Base ball is now attracting the atten-
ton of all the players and fans. SAT-
ford is sure to have ball team this
year that will be second to none in the
valley. There are about fifteen players
at the present time that are willing to
play, and, as they are all well-known
players, there is no doubt but that the
team will be hummer from the start
DR.. McWhirt has been elected manager,
and, as he is an old-time ball player,
every man is sure of making the team
that can deliver the goods in his re-
spective position. Admission will be
charged and out-of-town games ar
ranged and only with teams that can
afford to pay good guarantee for
players expenses. Base ball is the one
great American sport. 1t is pleasure
for the women and is the cleanest game
played out of doors. We have dandy
place for the games at the fair grounds,
and if some of the boys would spend
half day with rakes and shovels, the
infield could be fixed up in fine shape.
The grand stand is in fair condition,
and with a few nice sunny days the
crack of the bat will be heard where
the sparrOWs are now the only Occu-
pants

TO HANDLE j. s.
AFFAIRS IN WAR

WASHINGTON, June
23-The United States
government has asked
Great Britain to look after
American interests thru
her diplomats in Mexico
in the event of war, il was
learned today.
This request was explained as
not being indicative of immediate
trouble, but rather as a precaution.
should war transpire. Such moves
are customary when trouble brews
between two governments.
Great Britain was selected be-
cause she has extensive interests
in Mexico and her consequent abil.
ity TO look after whatever might
arise in the event of war.
When trouble previously result
ed in the Vera Cruz incident and
the L. S. was without an ambas-
sador at Mexico City. the Brazilian
took charge of Ameri-
cas- affairs.
Gen. Pershing's report on the
Carrizal battle. decoded early today,
the story of Tenth caval-
ry stragglers, putting responsibility
on the MeXicans.
War department activity centers
in getting militia ready for border
service.
Ton thousand men will leave as
soon as they can be prepared.
The administration position up
to today tends to class the Carrizal
incident with the now forgotten
Parral clash and the more recent
attack on American
sailors at MaZatlan.
The source of real trouble in the
Carrizal affair remaining is the fact
that American prisoners are still
held in Mexican custody.
The government unquestionably
will make demands upon Carranza
for the release of the American pris-
oners, IL was stated today.
