G|LA BEND |S ]. NUT IN DANGER,
 WORD RECEIVED

Because Dr. L. H. Richards, justice of the peace and coroner at 'Gila Bend
 believes in preparedness just as much as do other good citizens of every city
 and town in the United States, he made
 a call by wire upon Governor Campbell yesterday for arms for the citizens of
 the little town on the Southern Pacific. l And thereupon alarming reports began circulating by word of mouth and through the afternoon press, until it
 was confidently believed that Gila Bend
 was actually in crying need of imme- diate and effective relief.
 i In a long distance talk with Dr. Richards last evening, The Arizona Re
 publican learned that there had been no disturbances at Gila Bend, but that be- cause of the fact that the town is not
 more than one hundred miles from the
 border, the inhabitants are constantly
 in fear that some time rowing bands of Villistas may cross from Mexico and
 ride into the town. Although a rifle club is in the process of organization there, there are very few arms and it
 was because of the inability of the citi-
 zens to secure arms that the call came 1 to the governor. Dr. Richards said he
 was confident that there are enough
 men ready to bear arms in an emer-
 gency to guarantee the safety of the
 town. However not one man in five | has a gum
 | Dr. Richards said that a report had been received in Gila Bend of the
 killing of Jose Reel at Bates Wells,
 somewhere near Ajo, but that this re- port had not been fully confirmed. He
 said, too, that an attempt had been
 made by Mexican band to hang Man
 uel Quiros, an Ajo merchant. Quiros had been strung up to a tree, but the rope broke and he mace his escape. 1 However, this act was probably fac tional rather than that of a raiding band intent on pillage and murder. "Gila Bend should be prepared to 1 defend herself if the occasion arises, . i said pr. Richards Fifteen well armed
 men could take the town as we now stand. But if we had fifty more good rifles and ammunition, we would feel secure. Frequently rumors reach here | of small bands of Villistas having l crossed the border, but none have SC | far reached here, unless the band of | MeXicans who visited the Carrothers l ranch some days ago. was of that type l However, those men were unarmed l There is a belief that they were armed ! when they crossed the border and that they cached their guns somewhere be-
 low Gila Bend.'
 1 Gila Bend has TO present definite ] menace, according to Or. Richards. She simply wants to be ready to give any band of raiders a warm reception should they show up there.
 l Captain John c. GreenWay, chairman | of the public defense and security com | .Gittee of the Arizona State Council oi | Defense, went to Gila Bend last even- | ing and upon arriving there and find | ing everything quiet proceeded to Ajo He said he expected to return to Gils Bend Saturday and to address a mass | meeting to be held there that evening

 The drama assumes a dignity bor- dering the sublime when it visualiZes the glory, purity and tragedy of the life of the Maid of Orleans.
 The effect on the behoider is as though some power had intensified the sympathes and emotions, carrying them on the flood tide of her triumphs shattering them like the breakers in the anguish and torture of the stake and then guiding them to the haven of tranquility and repose through the me dium of the beauty and purity of her life.
 The exquisite musical setting, written by Furst, will be given by an orches- tra of eight pieces.
 The production will be given exactly the same as in New York and other large cities.

EXTENSION OF
LAKE NAVIGATION
RELIEVES ROADS
Means Movement of 3d.
100000 Tons of Flour
and Wheat Eastward
CALL FOR GRAIN
MADE AT DULUTH
General Manager Rapelje
Explains Car Shortage
on Northern Pacific

The United States food admin
stration as a measure Of relief for
The railroads which carry -four and
wheat out of Duluth has succeeded
in arranging for an extension Of lake
service beyond the usual winter clos
ing time, says an official notice re-
ceived at the North Dakota food ad-
ministration office.
The Great Lakes Transit corpora
ton and the Northwestern Steamship
company have agreed to extend their
service which ordinarily is ended for
the winter on Nov. 80. The former
company will extend its service until
Dec. IL, and the latter for as long as
weather conditions will permit.
These arrangements will permit
the transportation Of approximately
so, 100000 tons of flour and wheat
from Duluth to Buffalo and Erie,
relieving the railroads t. that extent.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Duluth today stated that unless ship
ments of grain from North Dakota
reach that point within the next few
days, lake shipments from the ele-
vators at the Head of the Lakes will
be wound up in a hurry. This state
ment is credited as having been
made by a member of the Duluth
food administration grain corpora
ton.
1t was stated that when the steam
er Superior started loading at Duluth
Wednesday there were only 200, coo
bushels of wheat and about the same
amount of flax in Duluth and Su-
perior elevators. The Superior will
make a big dent in this, leaving less
than a cargo.
Car Shortage Acute.
General Manager j. NJ. Rapelje Of
the Northern Pacific, made the state
ment at jamestown during his visit
to North Dakota points last week
that the car shortage is very acute
and this probably accounts for the
slow movement of grain from North
Dakota elevators to the Duluth ter
minals and those in Minneapolis and
st. Paul.
There has never been time when
the Northern Pacific was so short of
cars" Mr.. Rapelje is quoted as say
ing. He said there are at the present
time about 1000 of the Northern
Pacific freight cars on other rail-
roads. Besides this, the company Is
deprived of the use of hundreds OF
foreign cars that until this fall have
been constantly in use on the North
ern Pacific to be loaded when pos
sible and sent to their home COM
panies.
The general manager of the North
ern Pacific made the statement that
1000 cars leave the Northern Pacific
road each week for other lines and
it takes all the way from two to
four weeks before, these cars are re-
turned. This condition, he said, was
brought about by the hauling OF
bridge material and other war ma
terials.

An annual saving of 10000 900

f. f. Ladd, federal food commission
err for North Dakota.
The cracker bakers have been us
ing 126,O00,000 pounds of sugar and
9S,O0O,00O pounds of shortening year
ly. Hereafter cracker manufacturers
shall not use to exceed IL pounds of
shortening average in spone goods,
of which not more than 10 mounds
shah be animal fats. for each 1876
pounds of any hour or meal or any
mixture thereof.
1t is further ordered that they
shall not use sugar to exceed SO
pounds average in sweet goods for
each 1876 pounds of flour or meal and

facture of sponge goods.

Bachelor At
A. c. Tonight

The second number of the Citizens
Lecture course will be given this
evening at the agricultural college
armOry. Irving Bachelor, renowned
lecturer, will present Keeping Up
With Lizzie. There is a punch in
every epigram and a blade of keen
satire in every merry jest. 1t is
packed full of fun, and also packed
full of serious meaning. Mr.. Bachelor
reminds one very much Of Mark
Twain. He jumps from the apparent
semi seriousness to the most
ludicrous climaXes in = perfectly
nonchalant manner. The lecture is
full of whole souled and age old
truths that the American people are
in all too great a danger of forget
ting.
Mr.. Bachelor in addition to being
a master humorist, is poetic and full
of sound philosophy and stands for
the best in American life.
