.hcy were men in khaki they would

go back To the front time and time
again asking nothing in the way Of

What they get instead is the very

of care and the keenest appreciation
of the services they render. Visitors
to the battle zone invariably express
amazement at the appearance and
condition Of the horses Just now
they are snug and warm under the

coats. They are fat and strong
muscled. They plod and splash con
tentedly through the mud in twos,
threes fours or twelyes, dragging
guns and heavy wagons behind them
with never the necessity of a harsh
word or a whiplash from their drivers
The men come to love the horses.
Officers who have been here from the
beginning, and there are stll few
left, say that in all that time they
have never seen an act Of cruelty to-
ward horse or mule.
one reason for the splendid appear
ance of the horses at the front is the
fact that the moment one begins to
show signs of oyertatigue or debilita-
ton, he is taken out of service and
sent back to hospital to recupcrate.
Occasionally too, the horses come
down with mud blisters upon their
backs. with an injured foot that may
not have been noticed in time, or with
some of the diseases that equine

TO the veterinary services, however

ALLEGED MINE sALTING.

On the complaint of M. C. Hubble,
represented by Henry c. Kelly, Joe
Martinez has been placed in jeopardy
ON the charge of sailing a mine in
the Quartzsite district The case was
filed Monday and the defendant ar
in the superior count. 1t is
alleged that Martinez placed a
sprinkling of gold dust in a GER
tain portion of the placer mine
in which he is interested with
the intent of enriching the dirt and
thereby defrauding the complaining
witness by the sale of the placer.
This is the first case of the kind
ever filed in the history of Yuma
county, and according to the COM
plaint, presents many extraordinary
features, all of which will be thresh-
ed out when the case comes up for
Sun.

Don't Keep Your Savings
in a Sock

Before the advent of the Savings
Bank, people who had thrift enough
to save, resorted to all sorts of ex-
pedients to house and hide their saw
ings. A wool sock was a favorite
abiding place for the surplus cash.
A tin box hid under a plank in the
floor was another. Behind picture
frames and in old clocks were often
the secret repositories. And even
today with all the educational adver-
tising the banks of our country are
doing. these improvident methods of
proyincialism still exist. The money
lies dormant and insecure, and with
no earning power. Placed in the
Savings Department of this Bank,
the savings are secure, immune from
theft, and become steady earning
power. Start an account today, add
to it regularly, and prepare for a
rainy day.

ASSAULTED OFFICER
BUT WARRANT
REFUSED

A. touring car passing through Par
ker Wednesday evening looked sus-
picious to Constable John Roberts,
who had received previous word that
bootlegger was due here about that
time with a cargo of booze. The
Parker constable accosted the strang-
er, and asked where he was bound
for, and received the reply that it
was none of his damned business. !"
A large box on the car looked like
it contained contraband, and Con-
stable Roberts was determined to
investigate further. After parleying
with the driver for time, the owner
of the car rushed up to the constable
and GRABBED him around the neck, and
attempted to assault the officer.
Whereupon, Roberts went some him
self and placed the fellow under ar
rest for assault.
He took him before the local
Justice few minutes afterward, and
asked for a warrant for the
strangers arrest. Of course the
local Justice refused to issue war
rant, even upon the request of the
courts own officer.
Now. it is said that bootleggers
and other toughs passing through the
country are safe from being molested
in Parker, for the reason that the
justice has run out of warrants, or
doesn't want to issue any more, or
some other kind of an excuse. The
matter will be laid before the dis
trict attorney.
The alleged booze-runner got out of
town as quickly as possible after he
was released by the local justice.
Last week a burglar was let scot free
after breaking into two business
houses, and for several weeks boot
leggers have been plying their trade
openly in Parker.
The constable says it's no use for
him to make AN arrest, as he cannot
get the Justice of the peace to issue
a warrant. 1t is reported that Sher-
iff Greenleaf will have a deputy here
next week to enforce the law, and
that in the future when arrests are
made complaint will be laid before
the Bouse Justice of the peace.

GERMANY DECLARES
FOR SUBMARINE
WARFARE

WASHINGTON Feb. Germany
has declared unrestricted submarine
warfare.
A starvation blockade of England,
the like of which theworld has never
seen, was announced to the world to-
day in notes delivered to American
Ambassador Gerard in Berlin and to
the state department here by Count
Won Bernstorff.
Thus begins the long-feared cam
paign of ruthlessness, conceived by
Won Hindenburg, it is said here, on
magnitude never even contemplated
by Won Tirpitz.
Again the United States faces sew
erance of diplomatic relations with
Germany with all it's eventual possi-
bilities. President Wilson's repeated
warnings of "a world-afire" and Sec
retary Lansing's Verge of war"
statement are being recalled i'm the
capital tonight with feelings of ap-
prehension and misgiving.
Germany's action is the super-crisis
OF all those that have stirred the
American government in two and
a half years of world war.
Talk of peace i'm Europe and means
of preserving the peace of the world
have gone ghmmering. President
Wilson, incredulous at first when the
unofficial text of Germany's warning
was brought to him, at once called
for the official document which had
just been presented to Secretary
Lansing by the German ambassador.
Mr.. Lansing absolutely refused to
comment. President Wilson began
Immediately a careful study of the
document.

Both branches of Congress have
passed the Yuma mesa bill and it
was signed by the PRESIDENT last
Saturday. This means the opening
up of about $4,000 acres of fine cit
rus land for settlement and develop

bill the lands are to be sold to the
highest bidders, and the proceeds of
the sale are to provide means for

ACTIVITY IN
PARKER MINES
NEW OUTFITS GOING TO WORK
EVERY DAY AND THE WHOLE
DISTRICT is HUMMING WITH
GREATER ACTIVITY THAN
EVER BEFORE.

Persistent mine development con-
tinues to open up new and greater
ore bodies in the Parker district. All
the way from Swansea to the River
side mountains the gigantic copper
belt traversing northern Yuma coun-
ty DIS undergoing more extensive ex-
ploration than ever before in its his
tory.
Several new outfits are going to
work every day, and the mines now
in ocessofdevelopment are showing
up better than ever before Operators
are ceasing mere surface explOra-
tion and are preparing to go after
depth, where the read copper mines
are found.
The entire north end of Yuma
county is humming with mining &C
tivity. and with all the work going
on some good properties are bound
to be developed. In the immediate
vicinity of Parker it can be said
that at least five big producers of
the red metal will be brought in
within the next few months. Scores
of prospects, in addition to these,
have every ear mark of making
mines.
The Copper Basin shaft continues
in good grade of copper sulphides.
However. the water is handicapping
sinking operations at the present time
but it is learned that the manage
ment has pump ON the road and
after its arrival the water problem
will be solved.
Drilling operations on the ground
of the Parker Syndicate have not
progressed very far since our last
issue owing to a breakdown, follow
ed by losing the tools in the hole at
a depth of about 400 feet. A
new cable arrived Thursday for the
drilling outfit, and it is expected
that by Saturday the churn drill will
be working two shifts again.
The Arizona Consolidated Smelt-
ing company is scouting for drilling
rigs to prospect its territory, which
adjoins the holdings of the Parker
Syndicate. The Post learns from
the management that difficulty is be-
dng met with in securing the proper
outfits, as the manufacturers will not
guarantee deliveries for several
months in advance. In the mean
time the big smelling concern will
probably start a working shaft, and
put in churn drills at later date.
Hoist for Mammon.
A 15-horsepower Fairbanks+Morse
hoist was ordered last week for the
property of the Mammon Gold & Cop
per company, and it's arrival is ex-
pected here by Saturday. Five hun
dred feet of cable has also been or
dered, and it is the intention of
General Manager e. s. Osborne ito
sink the Mammon shaft to that depth
as fast as possible Three shifts will
be put on as soon as the hoist has
been set up and is in operation. At
the present time force of ten men
is employed at the Mammon, and
eight of the ten are working in good
grade Ofcopper ore.

GOV. CAMPBELL
READS MESSAGE
DOCUMENT SETS FORTH coNDI7
TION OF sTATE-REcoMME
NEEDED LATION-GREAT
APPLAUSE GREETs NEW Cow
ERNOR.

PHOENIX, JAM 29.-Before joint
session of the legislature and crowd
ed galleries, Governor Campbell today
read his delayed message, Setting
forth the conditions of the state and
recommending needed Legislation.
The crowd which filled all space in
the house galleries and projected in
to the corridor would have been even
larger but for a misunderstanding
that the message would probobly not
be read until tomorrow.
Immediately after both houses con-
vened in the morning, arrangements
were made for communication with
the new governor. The senate ap-
pointed a committee consisting of
Messrs. Winsor and Getchell to ar
range with the housewith reference
to joint committee to wait upon the
governor and for the same purpose
the house appointed committee com
posed of Messrs Lines and Davis.
The joint committee itself consisted
of Messrs. Winsor and Getchell of the
senate and Messrs. Sullivan and
Green and Mrs Marsh of the house.
The governor entered the chamber
followed by the committee and was
escorted to the speakers desk where
he read the message in clear
and impressive tone. At its conclu-
sion there was hearty applause in
which all members joined and most
of the occupants of the gallery, ir-
respective of party ties.
The message was brief. 1t recon-
mended the establishment of budget
system; that the school law be amen
ded SO as to provide greater cen
tralization of authority; that the cleo
tion laws be made more comprehen-
sive and explicit; that the higher
maximum state indebtedness Hmita-
tion be placed under the control of
the state auditor, and urged abolish
ment of nepotism. Labor legislation,
calculated to bring about better I'm
derstanding between employer and
employe, Dis recommended. The dis
charge of incompetent clerks in all
offices is advised.
There were hasty and significant
glancess about the chamber when the
governor read that section of the
message relating to state institutions:
'"It DIS a matter of the deepest re-
gret to me that / cannot. report to
you upon the details affecting the
governance of Athe several state In
stitutions and state departments.
The reason is obvious not only to
you but DIT is worldwide knowledge
and comment.
"That our beloved state should
have been forced to submit helpless
ly to this prevailing notoriety, highly
conducive to an almost universal dis
gust from within, and growing dis
respect in all quarters from without,
is a most deplorable circumstance.
A section had been reserved in the
gallery, near the entrance, for the
family of the governor. lit was occu-
pied by hiswife, his mother, his wife's
mother and other relatives.

A deal was closed this week where
by c. NJ Brown of Los Angeles has
taken over the Juniata group OF
eleven mining claims under a lease
and bond agreement, from H. B. ALL
man and associates. The Juniata ad-
joins the Empire mines on the west,
and various workings on the prop
erty have exposed a considerable ton
mage of gold and copper ore.
Mr.. Altman has been connected
with this property for about seven
years, and expresses confidence in
it becoming one of the big producers
of the district. Mr.. Brown and as
sociates will start work at once, and
it is understood that a deep work
ing shaft willbe sunk as soon as the
necessary machinery can be secured
and set up.

SUIT AGAINST
SUPERVISORS
ACTION BROUGHT IN SUPERIOR
COURT TO COMPEL BOARD TO
TRANSFER HIGHWAY MONEY!
INTO GENERAL FUND. &
yuma Sum-

In the name of James Maxey, the
Arizona Taxpayers association,
through its attorney, w. E. Ryan, OF
Phoenix, has field a suit in the
superior court ofYuma county pray
ing that the court order the board
ito pay back into the general county
fund from the highway improvement
fund sum of money taken from the
general fund to pay the commission
of fiscal agent for his services in
selling for the county $500, 600
road bonds. Is
Attorney Ryan has been here a
number of times on this matter, but
the board did not agree with his
ideas on the subject. and the action
followed the formal demand on the
part of Mr.. Maxey, on Monday,
that the board make the transfer.
The prayer of the complaint,
which is very exhaustive is that
the court issue an alternate writ
of mandamus compelling the board
to do certain things, the principal
and specific thing being the payment
of $28,504.75 from the general to the
highway fund. ALL the members OF
the board are named as defendants.
1t is alleged that by resolution of
the old board, ,an advertisement was
published asking for bids ON $500, 900
worth of county bonds for the pur-
pose of improvingthe highways of
Yuma county. No sale was made.
This advertisement was repeated
twice and no sale. A resolution was
passed March II, 1915, agreeing to a
contract with one Theodore NJ Ker-
hoff, of Cincinnati, Ohio, making him
fiscal agent for the sale of the bonds
the price to be paid him for his ser
vices being $28,5OO. This man sold
the bonds to C. Nv. McNear G Co.,
Chicago, and later the fiscal agent
was paid $28,504.75, the money being
taken out Of the general county fund.
1t lis alleged that this was unlawful,
and that the board had no legal right
to use the money appropriated for
general county expenses for the pay
ment of any expenseconnected with
the highway improvement bonds.
From the nature of the complaint,
it is evident that the attorney for
the Taxpayers association has in
cluded enough subject matter to en-
able him at thesame time, if per
mitted by the court, to deal with some
school funds which he seems to feel
have not been handled right, and also
some other matters. In fact, the com
plaint takes in wide scope of ter
ritory.
Attorney Ryan has met with the
board here number of times always
insistent that certain things be done
which, as he put it, would keep Yu-
ma county in line with the other
counties of the state in the conduct
of it's busin ess.'' The board has con-
sddered that outsiders have no ibusi-
ness interfering with their methods,
and this conflict of opinion has not
made the boardand the attorney any
too good friends with reference to
the conduct of the business OF Yuma
county. OF course the suit filed
really concerns the actions of
the board of supervisors that preced-
ed the present board, but the COM
plaint is directed to the present
board for the reason that these
members alone have the power now
to transfer money or transact any
other county business.
