 Pursuant to the foregoing (G.P.O.O Order No. 711) amend ed regulations, postmasters shall on and after November 2, 1917, see that postage at the rate of three cents an ounce or fraction thereof on letters and other first class matter, except drop letters. All drop letters, that is, letters mailed for deliv- cry from the office at which posted, including those for de- livery by city, rural, or other carrier of such office, are re- quired to have postage paid on them at the rate of two cents an ounce or fraction thereof. Pos tai cards are required to be pre- paid two cents, and, therefore, the one-cent postal cards must have a one cent stamp affixed to them in addition to the one cent stamp impressed upon them. Post cards (private mailing cards) bearing written messages must have two cents postage prepaid on them. Post masters at offices of addresses shall be careful to rate up with the proper amount of postage due all mail reaching their off, ces with the postage insuffi- ciently prepaid"

WAR WORK OF COVERN- MENT INTERFERED WITH
 BY ENEMIES

Enemies of our Government, some of them boldly wearing Food Administration buttons, are at work in an attempt to dis courage the signing of cards pledging the conservation of food, and I desire to warn the people of Arizona against them and the seditious propaganda which they are using: In order that we may speedily stop such rumors, it is the duty of every American to report immediate ly the names of individuals who are circulating them that they may be dealt with by the Gov ernment as enemies of our coun try. ..
 There is no intention on the part of the Government to con- fiscate any.portion of the fruits and vegetables which are being canned by households, nor is there any intention on the part of the Government except to voluntarily enlist every person in the serious work of increas- ing food supplies and eliminat- ing all waste to the end that the home supply of food stuffs may be increased sufficiently to allow the release of other foods for our soldiers and our allies in Europe.
 Throughout the nation the army of volunteers in thehomes will be brought into this work beginning October twenty-first and continuing eight days. This will be done in Arizona, through a pledge card drive under the direction of Warren Manager, who is now organiz- ing the state for this work. Ii is hoped to reach every house hold in Arizona, and the Gov ernment will not tolerate any interference with this serious effort to mobilize the American home army which it is depend ing upon to do its great part ir winning the war.

GONZALES BOUND OVER
 ID SUPERIOR COURT
Mexican Charged With Murder of Cisnenos Given Prelimi- nary Hearing Tuesday-Bond Set at $1O,OOO. L

Rueben Gonzales, charged with the murder of M. Cisnenos on the night of the 11th, was found guilty by the coroner's jury, Tuesday, and charged by the local court with murder and bound over to the Superior Court on a bond of $1O,0OO.
 The evidence against Con- zales is, briefly, that on the night of the 11th, Gonsalez and Cisnenos left the cabin used by a gang of section workmen, together, and Gonsalez return ed at near 10 o'clock and Cis- ninos was neither seen nor heard from after that. Men of the gang testified that Gonzales had changed clothing after re- turning to the cabin, and a pair of blue overalls and shirt be- longing to him were found by the officers, Saturday, spatter- ed with blood. When analyz- ed by Dr. Manning, of Flag staff, the blood proved to be that of human being and not over two days old. When ar rested and examined, by the To- cal officers, Gonsalez admitted having part of the money stoI- en from the body of the mur- dered man, and led the officers to where it was hidden. Sixty dollers was recovered. Cisnen- os is supposed to have had $50 on his person, when brutally murdered Thursday night. Part of this belonged to an old man in the gang who was fond of Cisnenos and always entrusted his earnings to his care.
 At the preliminary trial Con- zales testified that on the night of the murder he was outside of the cabin when four other men of the gang came along, two ofthem holding Cisnenos by the arms, the other two talk ing to him. He stated further that he witnessed the murder, two of the men holding him while the others killed Cisnenos and that the four threatened him with death in case he ever told about it. As for the stains of blood on his clothing, he. claimed that they. got there when he helped cut up a steer which was run over on the Can yon road on the 11th of Sep- tember. His testimony was weak because often conflicting and because such explanations as that of the blood on his clothing were disproved by oth- CT witnesses and evidence.
 Failing to produce the neces-- sary bond, Gonsalez was taken, to the county jail at Flagstaff where he will remain until the, Superior Court convenes in Mo- vember.
 Seven men of the extra road gang are held as witnesses, ar engagements having been made that they may work in the meantime.

Though he reached the age of eighty years on the seventh of last September, Captain J. Hance has not yet realized his dreams of financial indepen- dence and still hopes for some real reward for his lifes work, the furthering of the fame of the Grand Canyon.

LANCE 30 YEARS OLD

Ca Teritor;lH, Hance, of the Grand Cany Libry ~in Williams, often visiting ne, In business. He is one of the best known pioneers of the Grand Canyon and has a most inter esting life history.
 Coming to Arizona at the age of 31 years, he was in the state 13 years before he first saw the Grand Canyon. Visit ing the rim on the 11th day of June, 1884, he foresaw the in- terest which the world would eventually come to feel for this wonderland and from then un- til the present time the Grand Canyon has been his home.
 There were no roads leading to the Canyon ill those days so Captain Hance built a road 33 miles in length, from Cedar Springs, north of the Frisco Peaks, to the Grand Canyon.
 For seven years Captain Hance was the only white man within one hundred miles. His nearest neighbors were the Su- pal Indians fifty miles west and to the east, ninety miles away, were the Navajo and Moqui h. dians.
 One of the difficulties with which Hance had to forebear was the scarcity of water in that sectioin of the country, as none of the present water devel opment had been started. Tax ing advantage of the water that might be secured from the rain fall and the snow storms, MT. Hance constructed the first wa ter storage ever built on the rim of the Canyon. In the mean time it was necessary for him to transport water from Cedar Springs, distance of 33 miles.
 During this time Hance built the first trail from the rim into the Canyon to the river, which trail is located about sixteen miles east of Ei Tovar hotel.
 Two years were required for the building of the trail before even a burro could pass over 1t. This trail was later the means by which many tourists were shown the wonders of the Canyon, many of them then famous and others to win rec ognition from the world in later years.
 Among the first visitors to the home of Captain Hance at the Grand Canyon were men prominent in the politics of the state, including Henry F. Ash urst, Hugh E. Campbell, Elk. Governor Porter, E. s. Clark Henry D. Ross, Ralph Gamer. on and many others wellknown in Arizona. The residents o1 Williams were not sdeterred from making the trip tho the road was long and rough and transportation not made by automobile. About three weeks each way was required for the trip. A few of the Williams people whom Captain Hance remembers as viewing the Can yon under his guidance years ago are Lawrence Williams, Martin Buggeln, John Klock, Dr. E. B. Perrin and party and T. F. Holden and wife.
 All of these seven years MT. Hance lived the life of hermit. The Indians never had harder lives. The only reason for con- tinued perseverance was his belief that the Canyon would become famous throughout the entire world, as it has, and he hoped to reap his reward when
