ONE OF THE EARLIEST.

There are but few men in the state of Arizona who have been here con tinuously for as long a period as Col A. F. Banta, who is now visiting Phoenix. He came to this territory in 1863, before there was any towns of consequence except Tucson and Tubac. Col. Chas. D. Poston preced- ed him by a few years, as did Ben Block and Michael Wormser, and a few others, but these men have cross ed the Great Divide.
 Col. Banta is still vigorous man, both mentally and physically. He has devoted much of his time in prospect ing for mineral and in starting little newspapers. He was ever able to act as editor, printer and devil and could run a one-horse newspaper equal to the best. He is today vigorous writer, accurate and not given to boasting. His modesty has ever kept him poor man.-Phoenix Messenger.

Odell's son and then left the ranch. He ar rived in our city and proceeded to bite every dog that came in his way. At last he wound up at B. Y. Peter sons ranch, about two miles south of town, where he took refuge in the cor rals and stable. Mir. Peterson's eldest daughter, Estella, went to the corral to gather eggs, when she was attack ed by the dog and badly bitten on the hand. Mir. Peterson killed the dog and ended his mad career. The head was sent away for inspection.-St Johns Herald.

with BY Saloons, According to
Union Pacific Coal Co.

claiming that the saloons in Elmo, u
,,,tIn town near Hanna, which was in
nnrnoruted about IL year ago, are eX-
ting mn evil influence upon the work
: IN tbe Hanna mines, the Union Pa
oific Coul Company has requested Gov
ornor Frank l.. HOuX to use his efforts
In influencing the commissioners of
Garhou county not to renew the saloon
licenses in Elmo, says the Cheyenne
Leader.
The coal Company contends that the
saloons foster dissipation among the
miners. thereby undermining their eff
fciepcy. which is hurtful not only to
thp individuals concerned, but to the
entire nation at a time when the ut
most productivity is demanded of ev-
cry industry.
The governor Immediately sent out
communications to the Carbon county
commissioners with the hope that the
nrrvniling condition will be remedied
in the interest of the coal miners and
the company by prohibiting the sale of
liquor in that district.
Commenting on this situation, Cover
nor HUuN said:
The mines at Hanna, their efficient
operatiou and uninterrupted output
are of great Importance to the country
AS IL result of the fuel emergency caus-
ed by the increased demand for coal,
for which the war has been responsible.
1t would be regrettable, indeed, were
the sale of liquor close to the town of
Hanna to be permitted TO continue to
affect the operation of the mines there,
and | believe that the. commissioners
Of Carbon county will be convinced
that it is their patriotic duty to deny
the applications for renewal of the Ii
censes Of the Elmo saloons. Wyoming
industries, operating under the stress
Of wartime conditions in endeavoring
to aid this state to do its full share in
winning the war, have d%eplorably felt
the drag of the liquor incubus and it
has been painfully impressed that be-
fore we may operate at full efficiency
it will be necessary to not merely cur
tail. but to eliminate the liquor
traffic.
The output of the ooal mines at
Hanna goes to the Union Pacific rail-
road, a great transportation system,
the ~unhampered operation of which is
vitality important to the nation in the
war emergency, and to other industries
the full-speed operation of which is
essential to the country's success in its
struggle for the preservation of dem
ocratic government and the safeguard
ing of human rights. Continued gov
ernmcntal sanction of any enterprise
which interferes with the efficient op-
Grafton of the mines is too illogical,
too unpatriotic, to be considered as

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN APRIL 6.
Defeat Faces the Kaiser-We Can Has
ten IL by Asserting Americas
Might, Says See. McAdOO.

The Third Liberty Loan, which opens
next Saturday, April 6, will total 49,
OOO,OOO,OOO and pay Al per cent, Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo has an
nounced. The new bonds will be non
convertible, but bonds of the first and
second Liberty Loans may be convert
ed into the new Az per cent securities.
Authority to issue $4,500,0 00, 900 in
bonds i'll addition to the So, 1866, 600. 900
already authorized and unissued, is
proposed in h new loan legislation, so
that the total amount which may be is
sued is $S,166. OOO, 900.
Mr.. McAdOO's decision came as a DIS
tinct surprise, the amount and the in
terest rate both falling below eXpec-
tations. 1t had been expected the loan
would total five billion at least. but
Mr.. McAdOo pointed out that war ex-
penditures are falling below estimates
and the money market is in such condi-
ton that it will not be necessary to
pay AZ per cent, as had been expected.
The loan, Secretary McAdoo declar-
ed, cannot fail to succeed. He said:
Il am sure the people will respond
to the Third Liberty Loan with the
same loyalty and enthusiasm that char
acteriZed their support of the first two
loans. The great events now happening
in France must fire the soul of every
American with a new determination to
furnish all the dollars and all the ma
terial of America that are
needed to put an end to the eXecrable
atrocities of German militarism.
Defeat faces the Kaiser. Let us
hasten it by asserting Americas might
with increased vigor in concert with
our gallant comrades"
