LOCAL DRAFT PARADE
MAY BEAT INAUGURAL
Celebration for District Soldiers As
sumes Potential Proportions.

A nationwide example in patriotic
demonstrations rfvaling even lnaugu-
ral-Day programs will be set by
Washington when the gigantic parade
and celebration planned here in honor
Of the District draft quota-a thous-
and strong-will be held the day OF
their departure for the various con-
centratfon camps.
That the arrangements for the cele-
bratiop will be in the hands of the
people of the city as a whole and not
in the hands of a select few was
shown late yesterday afternoon when
an additional committee OF fifteen
Washington business men was ap-
pointed by the chairman of the Board
Of Trade general committee. to aid
IN the work already started and to
broaden its scope. A joint meeting
OF tts committees in charge. from
both the Board Of Trade and the
Chamber Of Commerce will be held
this .norning.
1t D generally understood that the
plan fof the demonstration will close
" f4low that outline first published
by Tse Herald This outline included
a monster street parade ending with
an open-air meeting. probably at the
National Sylvan Theater where a
speech by President Wilson, possibly
would be made.
CHASING the demonstration in the
same field as the inaugural parades
and celebrations. Mai. Pullman, yes
terday said that the police depart
nnent would not only afford the pro-
lection of policing the line Of march,
but would probably also allow their
reserves to march in the parade. II
this in done and the members Of the
newly organized Home Defense
Rifiles take part. the demonstration
VIII carry with it a decided military
tinge.
It Is the present plan Of the COM
rntttee working on the plans to have
the affair as general as possible. This
reans that all orders; social, frater-
nal. and military, will be asked to
participate in the parade and the at
tendant open-air meeting.
No word has yet been received
from the War Department as to when
the District men will leave for their
encampment. Rumor persists in say
ing that the day will be an early
one In September. It is probable
that the exact date will not be made
known until the War Department is
sure that no military object will be
nullified by the information.

ARIZONA'S UNFAIR
 DRAFT QUOTA.

To the average person affected by the draft it would appear that Arizona's members of the United States senate and congress, were asleep on the job when Arizona's population was estimated arbitra- rely at 4O9, 3O3 as against 352, 393 population for New Mexico. These figures included all aliens in both states. Just why Arizo- na's population was increased Ar bitrarily about 15O,000 and New Mexico decreased 64,574 is not known at present.
 The basis of each states quota was made on these figures. The first census estimate of Arizonas population made by the govern ment was 264, 900 not including odd hundreds. It seemed about fair and no objection was made. Later, however, the figures were changed to the 409,2 basis for Arizona. On this basis Arizona was required to furnish a gross total of 4, TAT men as against New Mexico's 2,800 odd.
 Advises have been received that Arizona's representatives will now attempt to have this matter adjusted by congressional act. In the meantime it remains to be seen whether they can rectify the wrong. Arizona's patriotism can be estimated without ques- tion on her American population; she will furnish her quota with out murmur but can see no vir- ture in furnishing her unjust pro portion because of other more favored states.
 It may or may not be because Arizona elected a republican, governor. in any event Governor Campbell has entered a vigorous protest to members of congress and it is squarely up to them Coconino Sun.

Bandit Salazar Killed by Guards

Juarez, Mex. Aug. 13.-Jose Ynez Salazar, revolutionary man and former chief of staff to Francisco . Villa, was shot and killed at the Nogales ranch, a short distance from Ascencion, Thursday. Anne ricans arriving here today from Casas Grande brought the details of Salazar's death at the hands of a small band of home guards who were organ ized to protect the Casas Grande -Ascencion district.
 According to the version told the Americans at Casas Grande three of Salazar's armed follow CTS left his camp and went to the Nogales ranch, a short distance away. When they appeared there the home guards employed on the ranch, thinking they were attempting a raid opened fire up- on them from the ranch killing all three
 When they failed to return to camp Salazar went to the ranch alone to investigate. As he rode through the gate he was fired up- on by the home guards concealed in the ranch house. He was struck a number of times in the body and died instantly. The body was later recovered by friends and will be brought to Juarez on the first train for burial Salazar, s family has been living here since he joined Villa.-Ari- zona Gazette.

CORNER STONE LAID.

The Masonic order laid the corn erstone of our new Apache coun- ty court house last Saturday aft ernoon, with usual ritual and formalities of that order. The ritual was excellent and carried out well, with Judge Sidney Sapp of Holbrook officiating.
 Under the cornerstone a copper box, soldered air tight was de- posted. It contained lists and various historical documents of the Masonic order and a copy of the St. Johns Herald, the Obser- yer, photographs of some ten diff ferent places in St. Johns and at the Lyman dam, g. .manuscri pt his torical sketch of Apache county from 1863 to the present pre- pared by Judge Crosby with a list of it's most prominent citizens and county officials, with sigma lures of the county officials and 30 of the county's leading citi- zens, the historical sketch of the St. Johns Stake read at the recent home coming, an Arizona blue book and a State educational di- rectory, silver coins of recent mintage al denominations and the latest pattern, statements of the county's two banks, letterheads, etc. The stone was laid at the northeast corner of the building and contained the names of the board of supervisors and the fra ternity that laid it..
 The local band furnished music for the occasion and marched with the fraternity from main street up to the court house. A goodly number of the county's citizens were here from SpringerVille, Concho and various places on the railroad. Among the visitors and visiting masons we noted Editor G. M.
