"A STITCH IN TIME" RELATIVE TO
 OUR FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM

Whats tls matter with Tombstones fire fighting sys tenn?
 Organization is needed at once and was again demon strated today when the main business section of Tomb stone threatened with destruction. Tombstone Ina the fire equipment 1t seems but is thoroughly lacking organization when 1t to using that equipment every fire demonstrates the inability be able igh the flames correctly Every body turns and does hi level best They can do no under the circumstances There is no head; chief; give orders Every body attempts to give orders and a result conuso and excitement reign every time.
 Tombstone has good natural pressure anC plenty of good hose and equipment which are always keU ill good condition and several years ago did have ganZatons With three fire stations. there thrc, good companies, until through laxty they allowec ter dwinded away Is time that giving this matter little consideration! In fact it is long past tha time
 Today if serious fire would break out for instance the night the entire would be lost before the flames could be subdued.
 Do the people of Tombstone repton of the big fife of 1883 when the heart of the city onrn I ground IS the time overrpe for to get together and reOrganize the old companies elect chief and get gether the proposition of being able to protect property interests in the proper manner!
 Let the the chief appoint certain days of the week which meetings will be held for practice and all lea11 how to handle the apparatus Have head to the organz iOn and all get in and asss to the utmost
 Tombstone has Outgrown the bucket brigade stage and it's time dispense with the untraned mob that Loyalty turns out to do its very best Discipline is the word.
 The city has done its part providing all necessary equipment, fire stations and plugs It do It's the people to together and do their part
 It won't cost anybody red cent, and it may mean thousands We believe this is vocing the sentiment of the majority; its up to to start th, ball rolling and its up to all of to keep it rolling why not star the movement at once!
 Chief of Police George Rravin ready do his part of the work, and the mayor and council in formed. So why not cooperate!

WILL ACCEPT LIQUOR
 FROM ALL POINTS

BiSBEE. July 24.-No longer will the drought which has been exist ence for some weeks, due to the pas sage of the prohibition amendment, be in effect for the Wells-Fargo Express Iompny, following the lead of the principal railroads, has taken off the Hid" and big doses in small pack ages may now be sent from any sta ..Cl, ill any county. in any state in the United States to little old dry Arizona
 Since the returning of the manda- mus proceedings in Kansas City which enabled liquor houses in that rart of Missouri to send liquor. for personal use, into the state, there has been much speculation as 10 the prob able action of the express companies. First. thereafter, the railroads con ceeded that il was better 10 admit he liquor. under the proper restric- tions, than to have a large number of mandamus proceedings on their hands. Still the Wells-Fargo refused to ac- cept liquor from Fl raso, Roieo. Los Angeles and other points which might be appealed to.
 As a consequence the railroads have been handling all of the liquor. for
 rsonal use. into this state. except that which came from the state of | Missouri
 The decision of Wells Fargo, which WIS announced yesterday by the local officials, will undoubtedly result in the shipment of much package liquor. No longer will it be necessary to send for a case of hard liquor in order to take advantage of the freight rates. What effect the admittage of liquor | n small quantities will have is hard to determine It will be watched with considerable interest throughout the | state

TAXABLE PROPERTY or STATE
 INCREASED SIXTY MILLION

PHOENIX, July 24. After dea' of trouble, and any amOuGr of WIT i.g aud writing of letters. the sIgre lax coin mission has succeeded iu gathering together on one piece O; paper The full returns of the vaiuaTioI of tke tax able property in the state e Arizona
 The one outstanding feature of U q rass of figures is that the valuation for the whole state has Increased over sixty million dollars.
 Gila county leads the list with tho greatest increase, the total net val. uation of that county having jumped over twenty-seven million dollars. and Cochise comes second with s12. 600, Doc. Maricopa county is the only county to show a decrease. this being explained that values had been over inflated here during the past two years, and the present valuation is more of a re- adjustment, than a reduction.
 The total net valuation for the state is s4S0,ss7 ,6s1.5s, as against s420.5S2,411 for the year previous
 Following is a table giving the de- tailed gain of each county, with the net valuation for 1915 and 1916:

U. s. RULING STIRS
PAPER COMPANIES
Government Insists on Con-
tract Price Irrespective Of
Quantity-One Default.

WASHINGTON, June 21-Attorney-Gen-
eral Gregory has rendered to the Joint
committee on printing a formal opin-
ion In connection with contracts for
paper. which has caused considerable per-
turbation among paper companies and In
cidentally aroused the keenest interest
among other Government contractors.
The Attorney-General in substance has
decided that the Government Is obligated
10 pay only the contract price on paper
and can order a. much or as little as
II pleases Irrespective of the quantity
specified In the contract. Legal Officers
Of other departments say IL Ia their un-
derstanding that this applies TO rom
tracts fr other articles supplied to the
Government under the form OF contract
used and that this principle can he en-
forced In the courts.
Several weeks ago the public printer
ordered paper in excess of the quantity
specified In the contract with one Of the
large companies. The company stated
that Il already had fur nished the guam
lily on which 1t had bid and on which
IL had received the contract. and on this
quantity II had suffered n loss owing 20
the increase III the cost Of paper making.
The public printer advised the COM
pany that 1t had merely bid on an
estimated quantity and that the Gov
erumeni could order as much as II
pleased and that unless the company
compiled with the order II would be de-
clared In default and its bond for the
performance of It's contract forfeited.
Public Printer Ford put the facts be-
fore the Joint M on printing and
senator Fletcher of Florida, the chair
man. asked the Acknowledgement for an
opinion. Mr.. Gregory sustained the pub
lie printer. and the latter renewed his
order for the paper. The company de.
clincd 10 furnish Il. and the public
printer has reported the company IN
default. The Joint committee decide,
To enforce the contract and the matter
will be carried to the courts.
