PATRIOTIC NEWSPAPERS

One of the finest illustrations of the patriotism of American newspaper makers and their self control day when money-making is supposed to be a strong American purpose and rivalry among newspa- pers keen is the sef-imposed newspaper censorship Two very big instances tell the story.

GOES To PRESS
EARLY IN WEEK
BIG MINING EDITION OF THE
POST WILL BE READY FOR
DELIVERY NEXT WEEK-WILL
HAVE IMMENSE CIRCULATION.

After several weeks of strenuous
labor in gathering data, assembling
it in readable form, and in the prep
aratiOn of numerous special articles,
the first forms of the big mining
edition of the Post will go to press
about Monday.
Every district in the great Par
ker Country has been visited by rep
resentatives of this paper, and every
important mine in northern Yuma
county and that section tributary to
Parker lying west of the Colorado
river will have special mention in
the forthcoming edition. The ex-
tensive placer operations around
Quartzsite will also receive a special
write-up. Numerous other special
articles relating to the copper min
ing Industry generally and the ad-
vantages of investment in the mines
of Arizona, and particularly those
located in the territory which the
edition will cover.
The unequaled agricultural re-
sources of the Parker valley will also
receive particular and extended men
ton. The entire edition will be
profusely illustrated with half-tone
cuts, and every effort is being made
by The Post to make it one of the
most complete and comprehensive
editions of it's kind ever printed in
the state.
Such an edition is bound to be
read with great interest in every
part of the country, where informa-
tion is sought about the mines of
this section of central western Ari-
zona. This week The Post received
orders for extra copies aggregating
over 5000. Fifteen hundred cop
les are to be shipped to Boston by
express as soon as the edition is Off
the press, and another 1900 has been
ordered from ST. Louis.
The immense circulation of The
Posts mining edition will undoubt-
edly result in attracting the atten-
tion of hundreds of investors to this
field, and the resultant advertising
which will accrue to Parker by the
papers wide circulation should be

Holding Court at Kingman

Judge Baxter left for Kingman,
where he will preside on the bench
of Judge J. G. Ellis in a number of
cases in which the local magistrate
has been disqualified, says last Sat
urday's Sun. Before leaving Judge
Baxter took occasion to arrange for
the convening of the superior court
in Yuma in April, leaving instruc-
tiOns that if he was not here on the
very day the court met the court
commissioner was to adjourn it un-
til the next day. Judge Ellis has
presided for Judge Baxter a number
of times and the trip north on the
part of the latter is to repay some
of the reciprocity debts.

Mine Accident.
Especial to The Post. }

VIDAL, March 3O.-John Burke,
we'll known miner here, who had a
narrow escape from death last week
when the bucket in the incline shaft
on the Alice mine left the track and
crushed him against one of the
stulls, is slowly recuperating from
the effects of the accident. At first
it was feared internal injuries would
prove fatal but local doctors state
he will recover
Mr.. Burke had placed five shots
of dynamite, lit the fuse and gave
the signal to hoist. When about 70
feet from the surface the bucket
jammed, left the track and Mr..
Burke was caught against a project
ing stull and held for several Sec
onds In the accident his light was
extinguished Finally freeing one
arm and removing a match from his
pocket he discovered the bell cord
and signaled "stop."
Although terribly crushed and
mangled he managed to climb the
remaining 70 feet to the surface and
fell in a dead faint just as the dy
Mantle exploded at the bottom of
the shaft An automobile was rush
ed from Vidal to the mine and the
injured man given medical atten-
tiOn.

Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Terry celebrated
the first anniversary of their welded
life Monday night by a reception to
their friends at Hosfelt's hall. There
was a large gathering, the evening
was spent in dancing, delicious re-
freshments were served, and a de-
lightful time had by all.
1t has been the sentimental custom
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Roberts, pa
rents of Mrs. Terry, to give due OBJ
servance to their wedding anniver-
sary by dinner and social gather
ing, and this custom they have
scrupulously observed from the first
for the past quarter of century.
Apropos of this, it is a pleasure to
note that Mr.. and Mrs. Terry pro-
pose to emulate their example, and,
to this end, their many friends trust
they will continue through many
years of happy married life.

New Cashier.

Beginning April Is, the CONNER
cial Bank of Parker will have a new
cashier, and the Santa Fe Rail-
road company will have to find a
new agent for Parker. This be-
came known Thursday when it was
announced by o. M. Spence, presi-
dent and cashier of the Commercial
Bank, that r. H. Fuller has accepted
the cashiership of the bank and will
enter upon his new duties on the
18th.
Business at the bank has grown
tremendously during the past six
months and the additional work re-
sulting has necessitated an increase
in the personnel of the establish
ment. Mr.. Spence feels that he is
to be congratulated on the addition
to his force, and Mr.. Fuller's many
friends feel that he is to be con-
graduated on aligning himself with
so progressive an institution as Mr..
Spence's Bank.
Mr.. Fuller is an experienced ac-
countant and has had considerable
business experience. In addition to
his railroad training he received val
liable business instruction along the
conservative and precise lines so
necessary in the bank, under Chas.
Evans Hughes, by whom he was en-
ployed as confidential secretary for
a long time.
Immediately following Mr.. Full
ler's acceptance of the position a
wire was sent to Los Angeles for
material for cosy 5-room bungalow
which will be built for him as soon
as possible.

DOUGLAS No. |
IS THROWN OUT.
HUNT LOSES 1873 VOTES BY DE-
CISION-ELIMINATION OF PRE-
CINCT MAY MEAN VICTORY
FOR GOV. CAMPBELL.

Douglas Precinct No. 1 will not
figure in the recount in the COVER
norship contest. That phase of the
controversy came to a sudden end
in the middle of the afternoon Mon
day when both sides rested and
Judge Stanford announced his de-
cision granting the motion of the
cOntestee to strike this precinct from
which majority of 1913 was s'return-
ed for former Governor Hunt
The decision was prompt and the
reasons given for it were brief. 1t
was really part of a cOlloquy be-
tween the court, and the attorneys
on both sides, growing out of re-
ordinations between the attorneys
in which each side charged the
other with having consumed un-
necessary time in the presentation
OF the evidence regarding this pre-
cinct.
The court stated that much evil
dence had been brought in on both
sides that had little or nothing to
do with the main issue and that
more eveidence on that issue than
was really needed had been intro
duced.
Judge Stanford said that he had
arrived at decision and in
doing so he had disregarded sew
eral things that might have been
supposed would influence him but
had not. One was that most of
the papers of the state had fav-
ored the Campbell contention;
another was that he himself was
a democrat and still-another was
the great and undoubted popu-
larity of Governor Campbell in Mari
cOpa county.
He said that in his opinion suf-
f1cient evidence had been intro
duced to warrant the striking out
of that precinct and he would
therefore order it stricken out on
two principal grounds. One was
the admitted fact that members
of the election board of the same
party accompanied to the booths
persons other than those physic-
ally incapacitated, and assisted
them in the marking of the bal
lots. That, said the court, alone
would warrant throwing out the
precinct. The constitution of the
board of election, composed al
most entirely of persons not residing
in the precinct was another cause
for rejecting the vote of the pre-
cinct.
