ROOSEVELT APPEALS To WEST
To AID BELGIAN CHILDREN
THROUGH ROCKY MT. CLUB

To My Fellow Members of The Rocky
Mountain Club and the Men and
Women of the West:
The action of the Rocky Mountain
club in developing it's energies to the
relief of the suffering children of Bel
gium rang true to. the Western spirit,
as all of US who have lived in the
mountains and the plains have come to
in the movement to do what 1 can for
a gallant little nation which has been
cruelty trampled under foot, for no
fault of it's own, and now lies. PROSTATE,
threatened with the loss of its spiritual
as well as its physical being. 1t is the
literal truth that rarely since the days
of Herod has child-life been so men
aced as today in Belgium.
shall not deal with the material side
of this question, or tell how 1,250,010
children are compelled to go hungry
and are threatened with disease and
slow starvation. All this is being told
in the West in speeches, in letters, in
literature, in cartoons and in personal
pleas Suffice it to say that Belgium
today stands in mortal danger of losing
both it's bodily life and its soul.
But what of us? What of our soul
if like the Levite and the Priest we
pass on on our business with averted
eyes2 The nation that turns a deaf
ear to the sufferings of ten million
people, including a million and a quar-
ter children, is committing moral sui
eide. Diseases born of want and hunger
are spreading with dreadful rapidity
among these 1,25O,OOO children Of Bel
gilnm Shall we look idly on while
these children die? Other nations do
not sit idle. War-torn England and
France have given largely. Brave little
Holland has cared within her own bor-
ders for hundreds of thousands of
refugees. The rest of the world has
spent $25O,0OO. 900 for Belgium. We
have contributed only nine millions. Is
this enough to make us think that we
have done our duty? We say with
unctuous self satisfaction that we have
been kept out of war" We chuclxle
because in 1916 we sold five billions
worth of products to Europe. Are our
souls rotted? Can we see only the
dollar sign in the sky? What of our
souls if we continue deaf to the crying
need of a gallant nation, threatened
with extinction through the loss of it's
first born? Can any man of high and
generous nature, having D5en told the
facts, continue to be Indifferent?
The West has done much, but it has
not done enough. 1 appeal to the men
of the West to follow the Rocky Noun

HAYDEN IS NO
SAFE HAVEN
FOR CRIMINALS

HAYDEN, March 23.-It's a mistake
for a criminal, fleeing from the law, TO
come to Hayden. In proof thereof, the
recent capture of p. F. Sothern, the
Oklahoma "bad man." who was picked
up in Tucson by Deputy Hamilton, was
the result of a neat bit of detective
work here by Justice Studley and
Officer Reinhardt. Local officers at
Hayden were requested to keep on the
lookout for Sothern. who. it was
learned, had headed this way
On investigation it was found that
parts unknown "a hours in advance
of the police information. What was
to be done? Easy. 1t was found that
he had been in communication with
certain woman here. Inquiry develop
ed that this woman was asking for
mail at the postoffice under two diff
ferent names. Messrs. Studley and
Reinhardt waited at the postoffice un-
til the woman presented herself at the
window, called for mail under these
names and received letter. Then the
officers requested her to accompany
them to the courthouse. The letter
was from Tucson. 1t was opened in
the courthouse and proved to be from
Sothern, giving his address and addi-
tional details. Soon after a Tucson
auto-stage sped southwark, with De-
putty Hamilton in it. Closing act:
Sothern in the tolls of the law, brought
to Hayden Jail and awaiting trans
portation back to Oklahoma, to the
town of Sulphur (ominous name)
where the crime was committed. The
home-going was briefly arranged tor,
as Sothern waived extradition evident
ly wanting to get back and have the
thing over. He is accused Of having
set fire to his store at the above nam
ed town to realize on the insurance.

MINING REVIVAL
GREAT FOR WEST

Residents of Ray as well as others,
will be interested in the following
extracts from the San Diego Union,
for what is said in the article ap-
plies to this district and Arizona as
well as to California:
ITS good news for the state of
California that there is a great revival
of mining operations from Shasta to
Mexico, and all the way across from
the Pacific to Nevada. If real mining
men are putting their time and atten-
ton to the development of mines, the
prospector who discovers a good lode
or the engineer who discovers a meth
cd of extracting the values from some
deposit does not need to appeal to the
public for funds. All he has to do is
to place the FACTS before men cap
able of judging them, and he can get
all the money needed more rapidly
and on a basis more liberal to him than
any stock promotion.
MINING MONEY
Much of the great, bold, liberal
spirit which animated the great men
who established the fortunes of the
state of California came from the fact
that the money they spent was was
mining money. 1t had been soiled by
no hands before it came into their own,
but had come from the boutifu treas
ury of the earth itself. Freely they
received it, freely they gave it. 1t
takes courage and determination and a
bulldog perseverance to pierce the
granite-walled vaults of the mountains
and extract the treasure and when
they had the money in hand it was the
mining men of California who furnish
ed the courage and determination and
bull dog perseverance to build the
railroads and cities and steamers, to
conquer the deserts and harness the
rivers and do all the things which
