COMPROMISE OFFERED IMPERIAL

Imperial valley may get a solution
of it's water problem at no great cost
1t involves the abandonment of the
all-American canal, hut provides a
way for the abolition of the temper,
ary weir, which has been objected to
by the war department, and which at
certain stages of the year is regarded
as menace to the surrounding coun-
try.
The latest proposal is a compro-
mise worked out by the officials Of
the Interior Department. 1t pro-
vides that the Imperial Valley Trri-
cation district be allowed to take
water from the Laguna dam, which
was built to irrigate the Yuma pro-
ject. This dam is several miles above
the temporary weir in the Colorado
river. placed there by the Imperial
Valley to divert it's water during low
stages of the river. The plan now
proposed is for the Imperial district
to continue its canal, which now stops
at the weir, to a connection with tina
dam aolng the California side OF the
river, build a headgate and diverting
wing there and take from the Colo
RADIO the necessary water. This done,
the temporary weir can be removed
and the dangers resulting removed
Later, this plan will be enhanced
in value by the. development of the
storage of the food water Of the Colo
RADIO further up in the watershed of
this great river. While the estimates
of the district engineers were as low
as $10,0OO,O00 for the total cost of
an all-American canal. the engineers
of the Interior Department estimate
that 1t would ultimately require $685.
100000 to complete the project.

FLOTATION AS AN AID TO PROS.
PECTORS.

George r. Fansett, mining engineer
of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines
is advocating fiotation as an aid to the
prOspector. Mr.. Fansett has been
making a particular study of the
prospectors problems and believes
that many short cuts will be found
that will be of assistance. Relative
to the use of flotation, Mr.. Fansett
says:
''Flotation can be used to good
advantage by prospectors for the
concentration of many minerals and
the separation of these minerals from
the gangue rock, thus accomplishing
the same result as horning AM pan
ming. Many forms of valuable min
erals are far more easily concentrat-
ed by this method than by horning
and panning. The concentrates OBJ
tanned can then be tested qualitative
" and the minerals determined in
the same manner as is the present
practice with the concentrates from
panning.
For use in the field ihe only equip
ment needed is cylindrical tube, oil
and water.
A glass tube abo..t ten inches high
and about one inCh in diameter with
i fat bottom so that it can stand
up, the best for Use in these tests.

The Eagles Nest shaft of the Ari-
zon- Empire Cons. Copper company is
fast nearing the 70O-foot level, and
prosecuting to the big ledge will
begin within the next few days. The
water is increasing in volume as
depth is gained, and at present the
flow is about $4,000 gallons every
twenty-four hours Three shifts are
now employed in the shaft, and the
problem of handling the water is be-
coming more difficult each day. For
this reason Superintendent Suther-
land has decided to begin crosscutt-

ONE STORY OF GERMAN CRUELTY

The Kemp (Texas) News says: "a
young lady living in an East Texas
town not more than 1875 miles from
Kemp received a letter some days ago
from her sweetheart, who is a pris-
oner in Germany In the letter he
stated that he was getting all he
wanted to eat and wear and that the
Germans were as kind to him as he
could ask for.
He also said he was sending her his
watch as a keepsake, for he might
never see her again. Later, she got
the watch and when she went to wind
it, it would not wind. She carried it
to jeweler and down in the works
the man had note on a little scrap
of paper in which he stated all he
said in the letter was a lie, that his
nose and ears had been cut off by the
Germans, and that he would never
see her again, for he was a sight that
would throw the man with the
strongest stomach into vomiting fit.
The girl who received this letter lives
at NacOgdoches and there are people
In Kemp who know her and know the
story to be true one

FEW LOTS WERE
SOLD At SALE

The public sale Of Parker townsite
lots last Saturday by representatives
of the general land office did not re-.
suit very profitably to the govern
ment for the reason that there was
very little demand for them at this
time. About $4,000 worth of real
estate was disposed of by the Off
cials, who received as first payments
the total sum of approximately $500.
The sale was in charge of John Nc
Phaul, superintendent of the opening
and sale of Indian lands. Scott
White, the newly appointed receiver
of the Phoenix land Office, accom-
panied by a clerk, was also present
at the sale to receive the money paid
in.
Mr. McPhaul stated that the sale
was the result of an application made
about year ago by O. M. Spence fol
five blocks located along the river
front, which area was desired by
Spence for the purpose of building
a: large reduction plant and smelter.
" After arriving here Mr.. McPhaul
learned that Spence was a bankrupt
and had left the country after squan-
dering many thousands of dollars OF
the peoples money and his conse-
quent wrecking of the Commercial
Bank
Most of the lots sold consisted
of lapsed lots, many of which were
purchased by the previous owners,
who had failed to pay for them in full
before the date of sale. A few of the
cheaper lots on the outskirts of the
townsite were also sold.
Mr.. McPhaul admitted that the
sale should not have been called at
this time, but that the general land
Office presumed that by calling the
sale it would release the above-men-
toned five blocks which would be
used for a large smelter If Spence
had been able to stave Off the failure
of the Commercial Bank it is prob
able that he would have attempted
the building of smelter with the
depositors' money.
There was no competitive bidding
at the sale, but the superintendent
of sales insisted on more than the ap-
praised value in each instance.

week in the greatest battle in history
to halt the Hun and crush the men
ace to civilization, Uncle Sam Is call
ing for subscriptions on the part of

That Arizona will go over the top

$4.25 each year Contrast this with
money paid as taxes, for which only
a receipt is given. Receipts bear no
interest and they have no maturity
date. Uncle Sam must have money,
and if he can't get it by borrowing,
it will be taken in taxes. The more
bonds bought the less likely it Is that
all methods of war taxation will be
greatly increased,

POLITICAL MADNESS.

Playing politics at this time is sim
ply playing hell, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
The great popular weekly says this
in reference to the North Dakota
Non-Partisan League,
AS the peasants of Russia have TAX
en- possession of the land the farmer,
of North Dakota have taken posses
sion of the state.
The accepted program Of this new
socialistic movement is to demand
that the state or nation do whatever
is wanted to be done.
1t is so much simpler than for the
class or group seeking power to do it
themselves by non-political co-opera-
tion and taking some responsibility.
By making 1t state affair through
public ownership, no one is respon-
sble, for in case of failure they fall
back on the taxpayer.
BY political action the state ma
ch1nery and state credit becomes a
prize to be seized by whoever can
muster the mos votes.
''It Increases the inclination to
rely on the state for everything, "a
says the Saturday Evening Post.
''The state is, at best, stiff joint
ed affair, with powerful bureaucratic
tendencies. and an ineradicable incli-
nation toward party politics."
To organize a new political ma
chine at time when we need non
political action IL political madness.

MAIL ORDER ADVERTISING.

Heretofore The Post has repeated
ly turned down offers of advertising
from mail order houses in competition
with local merchants, believing that
the local merchant who advertises
in his home paper should be protect
ed as far as possible from outside
competition.
Inasmuch as the local merchants
dealing in groceries have ceased, or
do not use the columns of this paper
for advertising purposes, this week
The Post accepted a contract from the
Sam Seelig company, the well-known
grocery house of Los Angeles.
This paper does not advocate the
purchase of any kind of goods out
side of Parker where the same can
be purchased from the home mer-
chant, but neither can we afford to
turn down advertising business from
outside merchants and at the same
time keep this great family moral
educator alive.
Many thousands of dollars go out
Of Parker every month to mail order
grocery houses on the coast, and if
this large sum has to go out Of the
ohannels of home trade we suggest
hat only those houses who adver-
Use in our columns be patrOniZed.
We only ask this favor from those
who patronize mail order houses.
The Post has always believed that
this trade rightfully belongs to the
Parker merchants, and that the local
merchants could hold this business
f they advertised their wares prop
9rly through the columns of their
nome paper.
1t is to the interest of every busi-
ness man to assist in the development
Of his home town, and it is conceded
that newspaper can do more to keep
I community in the limelight than
my other source of publicity. If the
home merchant slacks in his support
of the home paper, it is only mat
ter of time when the home paper will
cease to exist. "Co-operation" and
live and let live" are pretty good
notices for the business men of any
community to adopt and stick to.
