at $4,000 and $4,000 respectively,
which were furnished by the defend
ants.
Just before leaving on the train
Saturday evening, the county attor-
ney admitted to number of deposit
ors of the bank that the evidence
upon which the defendants were
held to answer to the superior court
was insufficient, but that he expected
to unearth more evidence before the
case should come to trial
The starting of criminal prosecu-
tions at this time against the bank
officials is deemed very inadvisable
by large number of the largest de-
pOsitors of the defunct bank, for the
reason that these prosecutions
threaten the successful organization
of the Adjustment Company II
the adjustment company is to be a
success it is necessary to have the
cooperation and consent of the bank
officials, but those who have started
the prosecutions say they would
rather lose every dollar of their de-
posits if they can revenge themselves
upon the bank officers by putting
them in Jail This is not the atti-
tude of the great majority of de-
positors, who would rather first get
their money, and then if it is dis
closed that any illegal act has been
committed to prosecute anyone who
committed a crime or crimes in con-
nectiOn with the closing of the bank
After the arrests had been made
on Saturday Mr.. Spence, who, up to
that time had not assigned his bank
stock to the adjustment company,
naturally refused to do SO, until as
'urances were given him that those
arrested would be permitted their
liberty until the case comes up for
trial in the superior court. The sit
uatiOn was saved, and this stumbling
block toward the successful organiza.
lion of the adjustment company was
removed by Mr.. and Mrs. j. f.
Raney, who signed Mr. Spence's
bond, and DR.. A: H. Littlefield and
7. B. Flanagan, who signed Mr.
Halls bond After the bonds were
furnished the bank stock held by
Messrs. Spence, Hall and Fuller was
turned over for assignment to the
adjustment company.

STORAGE RESERVOIRS FOR
COLORADO RIVER.

Since May 16, in round numbers,
approximately 100000 cubic feet
Of water flowed under the Southern
Pacific bridge, or enough water to
over 6,000,O00 acres one foot deep
all went to waste except the three
or four thousand feet per day that
went down the Imperial valley canal
through the HanlOn head gates. The
DAY may soon come, sooner than
most people realize, when Uncle Sam
will store all of this water in the
upper branches of the Colorado and
use it when it is needed, rather than
have it come down pell-mell, helter-
5kelter carrying ruin in it's wake.
Plans are already in the hands of
the secretary of the interior for stor-
ing all these waters. OF course it
will take a vast amount Of money
for the storage dams, but to what
better use can the money be put?
The mere fact that we are now at
war should not retard this all-im-
pOrtant work. Every dollar spent
in that direction means two dollars
saved in labor and crops in the Colo
rado valleys. 1t indeed seems a
shame that such a vast amount of
irrigable water should be allowed
to flow into the gulf.-Arizona SEN

TOTAL STATE VALUATION.

The most youthful of all the states
and yet one of the wealthiest is the
enviable position of Arizona, accord
ing to the report of the state tax
commission which places the total
valuation of the state at $666,236,-
581.6S. This is an increase in
wealth over last year of 5000, ,OOO,-
900, of which amount $165, 1000, 900
is due to the increase of mining

IS NECESSARY
SUCCESS OF ORGANIZING ADJUST
MENT COMPANY RESTS SOLE
LY WITH CREDITORS OF DE-
FUNCT BANK,

The organization of the CONNER
cia1 Bank of Parker Adjustment COM
pany seems assured, and unless some
unforeseen difficulties arise the con-
sent of every creditor of the Com
mercial Bank will be received by
August 1st, the time limit which the
bank comptroller and attorney gen
eral has given the depositors to per-
feet the organigation.
Another meeting of depositors was
held Monday evening. The princi-
pal business transacted at this meet
ing was the approval of the plan for
the disposition of the garage busi-
ness of the Parker Auto company.
Permission was granted the auto
company to dispose of it's stock on
hand by turning in to the bank all
of it's accounts receivable, amount
ing to $3.50.
1t looks very favorable, when the
final report of the banks condition
is made up, that the assets will eX-
ceed it's liabilities by several thou
bound to be some loss through in
ability to collect all outstanding
notes, this deficiency will no doubt
be made up in accumulated interest
on the good securities and the in
come that will accrue upon the COM
pletion of the new hotel building,
and the rental of the garage and
other buildings. Of course this
statement is contingent upon the Or
ganiZation of an adjustment COM
pany In the event of a receiver
ship there would undoubtedly be
considerable shrinkage in the assets
of the bank.
Therefore, it is imperative that
every effort should be made by the
depositors to organize the adjustment
company. With the proper cooper
alton of the Commercial Bank Off
cials and the successful organiza-
tiOn of the adjustment company, The
Post feels confident that the deposit
ors will receive nearly dollar for
dollar eventually This statement
is made after very careful COM
pilation of figures comprising the
known assets and liabilities.
However, few depositors or creditors
of the defunct bank realize the great
work which cOnfronts the men who
have charge of perfecting the or
ganizatiOn of the adjustment COM
pany, and the difficult work that
faces the directors Of the adjustment
company in the event of it's success
full organization. Cooperation on the
part of each and every creditor is
essential at this time. Everyone
welding hammers should lay them
aside for the present, and join hands
with those who are trying to save
the situation.
There is time for everything,
and the present time should be de-
voted to saving everything possible
for the depositors. The best in
terests of the community demand
the organization of the adjustment
company, and anyone placing obsta-
cles against such organization is
working against his own towns best
interests.

ELIMINATE HAZARDS.

A special campaign has been
commenced by Robert w. Har-
gadinegadine, state fire marshal,
to free all elevators, warehouses,
storehouses and structures
where all kinds of foodstuffs are
stored or kept, from every fire
hazard.
The work began in the dis
trict sequestered by the state
safety commission in Minneap-
oils. In that district, where an
enormous supply of foodstuffs
is manufactured and stored ex-
ira precautions have been TAX
en- to prevent fires. Twenty-Five
structures which are considered
fire hazards have been ordered
demolished and other buildings
subjected to a thorough inspec-
ton, and hazardous conditions
ordered corrected to prevent
fires.
Realizing that every ounce of
the states and nations resour-
ces must be conserved, this de-
partment is enlisting the CO.
operation of fire chiefs and fire
prevention societies throughout
the state in the prevention of
waste through fires.
If Governor Burnquist, and
other leaders, are urging the
people to help conserve the re-
sources of the state, and farm
ers are being prevailed upon to
cultivate every available acre
for more food products, it would
be most reprehensible to permit
this same food, the stored pow
er that will influence the destiny
of nations, to be destroyed in
fire inviting warehouses and
storage buildings.
Despite the enormous Amer
lean fire losses in the first three
months of 1916, which aggre-
gated $82,376,820, the loss for
the first three months of this
year in this country was $685.
$50, ,43O. There were 49 fires,
each Of which caused a proper
ty loss Of 100000 or more, and
the largest losses during March
were to grain elevators. There

which is very much in demand
by motorists-gasoli the fol-

snugly under the front seat of a

which will animate the motor
car several feet without further
replenishing, everything else be-
ing favorable. At one time it
was sold by grocers and was
used mainly for cleaning white

THE STACKER.

Stacker comes from an old
Anglo-Saxon word meaning not
drawn tight; not holding fast
not earnest or eager; to be re-
miss; to neglect; to lose cohe-
sion; to be negligent, slow or
tardy. The choice is ample, such
as it is. By a peculiar proprietv
in the dictionary the word slack
comes almost next after skulk.
Some vocal affinity must exist
between the two words. To drop
into the Stacker class in spite
of what seems to be the strength
and other semblances Of a real
man will not suit many Ameri-
cans. A brave race whose wars
have been mainly fought by vol
unteers will not shrink from a
selective conscription demanded
by a thorough system of ma
tiona preparedness.

had always taken treatment from doc

time I got Doan's Kidney Pills at
Hitchcock's Drug Store. They rid me
of the pain and fixed my kidneys up
in good shape.'
