LOOKING AFTER REMAINS.

G. W. Buttner Of SunOl, Alameda
county, Cal, brother of John Buttner,
whose dead body was found on the
reservation near the ranch of Per-
lecto Leavis, on Friday of last week,
arrived in town Sunday last in an
swer to telegram conveying the sad
intelligence, and proceeded to look
after the disposition Of his brothers
remains and the disposal of his
personal effects. He endeavored to
have the remains brought to town
and decently inferred in the local
cemetery but this could not be done
under the conditions as they existed.
The deceased it appears was man
of affairs, one of good repute and
standing in the localities where he
was known, and was possessed Of a
fair share of this worlds goods, own
ing a stock ranch at Maricopa, this
state, and a similar estate near Mar
tinez, Cal His wife died only few
months ago. He is survived by a
grown son and married daughter,
both living in California.

ENGINEER PERIsHEs ON DESERT

The desert has claimed another
victim in M. E. Hofreiter, a mining
engineer, who had been down from
HermOsa Beach for a trip over the
manganese properties to the south of
our valley. With a party of friends
Mr.. Hofreiter was on his way from
the Tolbard manganese mines to the
mill at the Paymaster group. He
left the party about two miles from
the mill, intending to make a short
detour trip of inspection and later
join his friends at dinner. This was
the last seen of him alive.
A searching party was headed by
Mr.. Tolbard and after five days of
travel at times made necessary on
their hands and knees through mar
row trails and underbrush, the body
was found on the southeast of the
valley, about seventeen miles from
the Paymaster mill At one time the
wandering man was within two
miles of the Colorado river He was
fifty-three years old and had made
mining and prospecting his business
for years.-Blythe Herald, 4th inst.

A SEPTIC VAULT.

The proverbial shOemaker-and
likewise the plumber--are as a rule
the last to help themselves to those
commodities produced by their trade
or calling, but an exception to this
rule came to light in Parker this
week when r. J. Martin, the local
plumber, built for himself at his
home, the first up-to-date septic
vault to be found in Parker. It is
made of concrete and receives the
drainage from a fine hot-and-cold
shower bath and toilet built in con-
nectiOn herewith. From a sanitary
standpoint, in lieu of proper sewer
age, the septic vault is the only
thing to have nowadays. 1t does
away with all disagreeable and un-
sanitary odors and destroys one of
the principal breeding places for flies
and other disease-spreading insects.

A "QUIEN SABE" PLIGHT.

The Mexican Club Jobenil" of
Parker gave one of it's semi-monthly
social dances in Hosfelt's hall last
Sunday night, and since then many
of the young 'caballeros'' and
''senoritas" have been sorely vexed.
The affair promised to be a grand
success; all the young beaus being
out In their best Sunday toggerv
while the bellies appeared in their
most exquisite summer attire. The
attendance was large, there being
quite a number from other towns
present, and herein lay the cause Of
the trouble Among the visitors, it.
appears, were some exceptionally
charming young senoritas from Wen
den and these at once caught the eye
Of the Parker Beau Brummels who
proceeded to shower them with atten-
tions, while the bellies reciprocated
by making soft-boiled eyes at the
beaus, much to the displeasure of the
local ladies. Notwithstanding the
ominous aspect the president of the
club and other members kept on pay
ing their devOirs to the favored ones
and dancing with them until they
were so weary that they could scarce
ly move their feet. The result is
that the young hombres are now
wearing the conventional yellow
badge of the Tilted caballero and
doing penance in sack-cloth and
ashes, while their affaires d'amour
are in a chaotic condition. "quien
sabe'' plight bordering on disrup-
tion-selah!

The Arizona Enterprise.

Dan McGlone, formerly of Parker
but now superintendent of the Ari-
ona-Enterprise Mining company,
whose property is situated about IL
miles south of BOuse, stopped in Par
ker last week on his way to the mine,
after having spent some time at his
home in San Diego. Mr.. McGlone
says that the mine has been shut
down for couple of months, but ar
rangements have been made for
starting up and prosecuting opera
tiOns on much larger scale than
heretofore. The foundation is be-
ing laid for a 100-horse power engine
and compressor, and as soon as this
is completed the 250-foot shaft will
be put down to a depth of about 700
feet, when crosscuts will be run. No
less than fifteen miners will be put TO
work as soon as sinking operations
are ready to start. This mine has
an excellent showing in ore as far as
developed, and there is no doubt but
that the contemplated work will pro-
duce gratifying results.

FOR SHERIFF.

In this issue of The Post under the
heading of political announcements,
will be seen the card of Mel Green
leaf, of Yuma, announcing himself
as a candidate for denomination for
sheriff of Yuma county, subject to the
decision of the voters at the coming
democratic primaries Mr.. Greenleaf
is too we'll known to the people Of
Yuma county to need any introduce
ton here. He is the present incum-
bent of the sheriff's office, d position
which he has held for several success
sive terms, and has shown efficiency
in the conduct of it's affairs. Male
factors have been promptly brought
to a reckoning without fear or favor,
his record is clear and beyond re-
proach, and those who are in
favor of law and order and good,
clean government, will remember
these things at the ppolls.

ALLOTMENT Of
SUGAR SWALL

The total supply of sugar in the
United States for all purposes for the
month of July is about 800, 900 tons
and the allotment for Arizona for this
period is 100000 pounds, according
to telegram from the sugar division
of the food administration received
this week by Timothy A. Riordan.
federal food administrator for Ari-
ZOna
These figures, said Mr.. Riordan,
reveal a situation far more serious
than we had any idea existed. We
have been told of the enormous losses
Of sugar by German submarines of
late; we have been notified also of the
necessity of using ships engaged In
carrying unrefned sugar cargoes
from Cuba to New York for transport
service; we have also been told of the
genuine scarcity of beet sugar owing
to limited production in the United
States; but until the receipt of these
figures we did not realize that the
country's supply was depleted to such
an alarming extent.
with only 100000 pounds of sugar
to last the state for 81 days, every
user of sugar will have to exert every
possible economy to make his pro-
rata stretch over the required time.
The sugar division has made an ex-
haustive survey of the situation and
knows almost to pound the present
supply, so that it is hardly likely that
there will be any extension of the al
lotment to Arizona.
''The O2,000-pound allotment in
cludes the sugar for home canning
purposes. The July demand in this
line will be exceptionally heavy. How
to obtain the required extra allow
ance is one of the problems before our
office. In this connection, we have
received notice from Washington that
there is evidence of fraud in this
oIdCC LII ndttOI VI u1SpOSdl Ol sugar
for home canning purposAG-Sn Soma
grocers have been negligent in issu-
ing sugar without requiring home
Gamers statements; they have ex-
ceeded the 25-pound allowance, and
some householders have doubtless
been careless about returning surplus
supplies of sugar not utilized for can
ming.
eve are now making a statewide
investigation with the idea of locat-
ing such excess stocks whether in the
hands of dealers or householders Per-
sons knowing of such boarded sup
plies are asked to cooperate by in

tration. Hoarding is not to be toll
Grated and dealers or householders
who are lax in the observance of the
rules may find to their embarrass-
ment that their sugar supplies are
cut off for the period of the war,
while in other cases they may be ask
ed to donate to the Red Cross to
avoid more drastic penalties"

VETERANS TO GET INCREASE.

A bill to increase the rates of pen
sions of the soldiers and sailors of
the civil war, presented by Congress
man Carl Hayden, has passed both
houses of congress. The substance
of the bill as finally enacted is az
follows:
That the rate of pension for any
person who served ninety days or
more in the military or naval service
of the United States during the civil
war, now on the roll or hereafter to
be placed on the pension roll and en-
titled to receive less rate than here
matter provided, shall be $50 per
month. In case such person has
reached the age of seventy-two years
and served six months, the rate shall
be $32 per month: one year, $35 per
month; one and half years, $38 per
month; two years or over, $40 per
month.
The commissioner of pensions has
given out the information that new
applications are not required from
those entitled to this increase of pen
sion, except in certain cases of dis
ability, and that prompt action will
be taken to make payment of the In
creased amount.

BLYTHE MAN GETS PATENT.

CAMEL DeMeyer, who has proven to
be quite an inventive genius, has been
awarded a patent on an appliance
which will no doubt prove of great
value, especially to ranchers in irri-
gated sections. Mr.. DeMeyer super
vises the irrigation of his entire
ranch from a comfortable position in
the shade around his home. The
patented contrivance, known as an
indicator, is placed at the farther end
Of each check being irrigated and
when the water has reached every
portion to sufficiently irrigate the
same the indicator moves a flag
showing that the flow has reached
that point and is now fully covering
all portions of the land.
While simple in its construction,
this gauge-indicator saves much la
Dor and unnecessary running back
and forth along the bitches to watch
the flow and change heads on the
checks. Especially in this warm
weather, it would seem to appeal to
the rancher sitting on his front porch
in the cool shade waiting for the lit
tie indicator away out there in the
field to tell him when he has to make
another trip out into the boiling hot
sun-Blythe Herald.

A FOOL FOR LUCK.

The desert is a great place to find
funny" or freakish people. Last
Saturday night 3n auto tourist ar
rived in Parker from Phoenix, bring
ing with him an individual, whom he
found out on the desert who must
have wonderful Inherent qualities.
Either he is possessed of an assur-
ance in the helping hand o. Divine
Providence eQualed only by the
unlimited faith of Elijah of old, when
he found himself in exile on the
desert of Beer-sheba and was fed by
ravens. or else he is bigger damn
eool than Thompson's colt" and en-
dowed with the proverbial luck OF
that genii.
Away out on the desert, miles from
either water or human nabttation,
the tourist overlook this man plod
ling along the road with a small
bundle on his back, but with no
ligns of the indispensable water can
teen. The footman hailed the auto
ist and asked for a drink of water
md a ride. Both were given him.
When seated in the auto the stranger
explained that he was from the Salt
River valley, where he has a ranch.
That he was going to the coast, and,
means to travel in different manner,
he thought he would hike it, just
for the novelty of the thing. He had
simply made inquiries as to which
road to take, but knew nothing of,
md had made no preparations for
such journey.
"Where is your canteen," he was
asked.
II have none," he replied.
'"Then how did you ever expect to
get across this desert without water,
especially during such hot season
tS CulS Is
"Oh, | knew an auto would be COM
ing along, so I didn't worry"
'But suppose none would have
come; how long. do you think you
could have lasted?"
"Well, yes, probably was taking
L pretty long chance" he reluctantly
admitted.
When Overtaken the man admitted
he was awfully thirsty, yet he had
no thoughts of retracing his steps,
and had not assistance arrived he
would have kept on going until he
lropped in his tracks. 1t takes a
fool for luck.

VISIT TO THE BILLIE MACK.

A jolly crowd of Parkerites made
trip to the Billie Mack mine Tues
day eve and spent the evening dane
ing. The affair was impromptu and
came in the nature of surprise to
r. w. Michaels, the superintendent,
but he bravely rallied from the
shock and did the social honors of
the evening without a flaw, in the
absence of his wife. The following
were the guests of the evening: Mr..

FIRE AT THE MOVIES.

The airdome of the moving picture
show, adjoining Hosfelt's hail, caught
fire last Saturday night about ten
o'clock, while the show was in pro-
gress, and the entire structure con-
tanning the operating apparatus was
entirely consumed in a short time
The fire started from one of the films
y. Aieh are of highly inflammable ma
terial, but just how nobody knows.
The audience filed out in good order
Jesse Hall, Dan O'Connor, Henry
Turk and Alfred Preston took the in
itiative and did good work in tear,
ing down the structure to prevent
the flames from catching on to the
other buildings, and they were pres
emily assisted by a number of the
time in arriving on the scene and rem
dering valuable assistance. Only
for the timely and effective work of
these men, the hall and Hosfelt's
residence would have surely been re-
duced to ashes. The loss, consisting
of the structure, the moving picture
machine and number of reels, is
estimated at about $1,000. No in
surance was carried

BILLS VETOED BY GOVERNOR.

Two bills passed by the Arizona
state legislature during the special
session recently closed were returned
to the secretary of state by Governor
Hunt without the approval of the
states executive.
The two bills to be thus vetoed
were the anti-vagabond bill and the
act to regulate the manufacture and
sale Of by-products of grain, alfalfa,
cotton and other agricultural pro-
ducts into stock foods.
The stock food manufacture regu-
lation bill was not approved, the gov
ernor said, because it's enactment
during the special session was uncon-
stitutional, there being nothing rela-
ting to such a bill contained in the
call for the special session.
In vetoing the anti-vagabond bill,
the governor said in part:
''While would not venture to state
that this bill is in violation of the
thirteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition, still it must be apparent that
any law making work compulsory
without, in any way, designating the
terms or conditions of the work seems
very close to the danger line of peon-
age.
The chief industry of this state"
the governor adds, "is mining, and
practically all of the companies do not
give employment to men over As
years of age. The bill, which | am
disappearing, requires all men to
work up to the age of 60 If men
who have reached the advanced age
of between As and 60 years are to be
compelled to work in a state that
limits their usefulness, proper safe
guards must be placed around the
fields that are open to them. Farm
ing is new industry in this state,
and without any legal restrictions or
provisions of employment. If this
bill covered provisions for a mini
mum wage, housing conditions or any
provision whatever insuring a decent
and American standard of living for
workers, it might justify telling
man of advanced years he must work
at least SO hours a week, in a state
where his field of activities is greatly
limited.
THE bill passed to me is drastic
and shows little time and study in it's
preparation, but, rather tends to that
form of war hysteria. Nothing in
the Investigations that have been con-
Quoted throughout the state con-
vinces me that we have any real
vagrancy problem.

Heavy Storm at Wenden.

1t is reported that very heavy
last week, and that number Of
buildings were considerably damaged
thereby. An auto traveller arriving
from there last Saturday night said
that in ravine on this side of that

The Knitting Club.

The young ladies of the knitting
club of Parker are busy all the time,
even the heat failing to stop their
activities on behalf of our boys across
the sea. The knitting contest in the
club was decided on the 4th of July,
and Miss Sarah Hudson and Miss
Rose Nelson received the first and
second prizes, which consisted of
beautiful handmade yokes of lace.
Through the kindness of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Tisdale, each contestant
was presented with a beautiful and
useful souvenir of the occasion con-
sisting of knitting bags for carrying
their work.
