Mrs. Ralph Waldo Emerson Is the
wife of an employe of the publicity

played in shop windows.
But Mrs. Emerson has had some ex-

The publicity bureau for the liberty

such concerns as refuse to respond tc
this demand for cooperation in prop

reluctance is in determining whether
such denial of aid is due to misdirected
personal reasons or Is an absolute ex-

MESA, July 12.-The called meet ing of the Mesa town council held on Tuesday night developed considerable interest in the matter of one Briggs and his car which according to the ideas of City Marshal Sabin, did not receive the attention they deserved.
 Readers of the Republican will re- member that Sabin attempted to ar rest Briggs on a charge of speeding, and according to the officers story, the latter was met with refusal to sub init to the laws authority In fact, while Sabin was standing on the run ming board of the speedster Briggs stepped on her pretty lively" had it not been for the gun in hands of the law, the Mesa guardian of the peace would have been in the Pacific ocean ere now. However. Sabin called halt l and took his man before police Judge Mcdonald, where according to the officers complaint, proceedings came | to halt. Sabin took the matter uI to the council and in the heat of the l discussion asked them to accept his resignation. Charley Sabin is a good

ARTISAN WATER
 IN ARID VALLEY
Especial to The Republican,

WASHINGTON, July 10-Perhaps no part of the arid southwest has at tracted more general attention in re- cent years than San Simon valley, in southeastern Arizona and adjacent parts of New Mexico, in which a new epoch of agricultural development was started in 1910 by the discovery of artesian water.
 In or near this valley have been found fragments of pottery, stone i'm plements, awls and needles of antelope and turkey bone, ancient irrigation ditches. prehistoric ruins containing corn, beans, and native cotton, and cleared tracts which may have been used for the cultivation of aboriginal crops. This region was evidently once inhabited by more or less sed- entary peoples, who must have SUD- ported themselves partly by hunting and partly by a primitive agriculture.
 Civilized occupation of the region did not begin until the sixties of the last century. when a colony of Mex jeans settled near the mouth of
 Nn rock. American cattle men first grazed their herds in San .-n4on aley about 1867. Overgraz- ng and erosion have so devastated the valley in recent years that it now sustains only comparatively small number of cattle. Since the discovery of artesian water, in 1910, here has been 9 rapid influx of set tiers and many wells have been drilled. Aside from grazing the types of agriculture now practiced or produced within San Simon Val

Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry. scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready -to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muss

A Prohibition Ordinance

The opinion of Judge Sloan city attorney makes it plain that under the city charter the commission is without power to initiate ordinance to deal with the manufacture and sale of liquor. Such ordinance be initiated only in the pro- yided by the charterby petition signed by fifteen per of the voters at the last election for mayor after which the commission could enact the ordinance order it submitted to vote of the people It would probably follow the former course in which ninety days would elapse before it would become operative
 the matter of legislation prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor. The restricting provision of the charter adopted before had prohibition in Arizona and before there was any prospect of pro- hbition It natural that such a provision should be inserted in the charter. The liquor traffic subject which there a sharp division of timent in Phoenix and could say just how it divided. The provision a precaution against legislation which might not be supported by public sentiment It should have place in the charter now but it is there.
 It is for the people decide whether they prohibition ordinance If so, it will be easy to get. The requisite number of signatures could be quickly secured and we have doubt the mission would enact the ordinance without submitting it the voters There could be reason for sub- mission since only the bootleggers could have any interest in opposing it.
 We think there should be such an ordinance Though some of the police have lent helping hand to the state or county authorities by turning up'

 careful and thorough study or the artesian and other ground waters of the valley has recently been com pleted by the United States Geologi- cal Survey and the Arizona Agricul- tural Experiment station. This study was made in order to furnish relia- ble information to numerous in quiries from all parts of the United States and to give all possible help to the settlers in conserving the wat CT supply and in utilizing it most ef- fectively.
 The total number of flowing wells in the vicinity of San Simon in 1915 was 127. The flow of these wells ranged from less than gallon to about 300 gallons a minute, and the average flow from 116 wells meas ured in 1915 was 52 gallons q min ute. The combined yield of the 127 wells, if they flowed continuously. would be about 15 second feet, or 6,700 gallons minute. Comparison of the flows of F wells measured in 1913 and 1915 shows that in two years the aggregate yield of these wells decreased 45 per cent and that individual wells showed decreases in flow ranging from 20 to so per cent. This decrease is attributed largely to the filling of the uncased wells with sand and the caving of the walls of these wells, but in part to the depletion of the artesian sup ply. The government geologists re- gard it of the utmost importance to the future welfare of the valley that all wells be properly cased to the bottom with heavy casing and fitted with valves, which should be closed when the water is not needed.
 A report on the valley by A. T. Schwennesen, of the Geological Sur vey, and R. H. Forbes, of the Ari- zona Experiment Station, has just been issued as Water-Supply Paper 425-A, copies of which can be ob- tained free by writing to the Director U. S. Geological Survey, Washington. D. c.
