THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

Positive purpose holds for
tune can be coerced but not
coddled.
Virtue has good intentions
while vanity wants the world to
see her as she appears and not
as she is,-she is puffed up.
Money is a lordly king and
love of it is enthroned with
lueenly powers in every breast.
Talent and power are but ele.
ments Of hard work,-the only
generator of dynamic life force.

PAUL SHULTZ ARRESTED.

Paul Shultz was arrested Thursday
afternoon on the charge of introduc-
ing liquor on to an Indian reserva-
ton. The offense is alleged to have
been committed on the California side
of the Colorado River Indian reser-
Vation. 1t appears that Shultz came

ed across the river and left in the
care of Harry Horstman. Constable
Roberts heard about the trunk and
began an investigation, which result
ed in the finding of 48 pints of whis-
key in the trunk. Shultz claims that
the trunk belongs to another man and
that he did not know that it contain
ed liquor when he agreed to take it
from Needles. Shultz is ia jail here

ferred by the federal authorities,

RECALLS GREAT
FLOOD IN YUMA

February 22 was the twenty-sev.
enth anniversary Of the first and
worst flood ever suffered by Yuma
of which any authentic record ex-
lists. Joe Nugent, then as now a
resident of Yuma, graphically told
Sun reporter how on the Saturday
night preceding the deluge news was
flashed to the Telegraph operator at
the railroad station warning the peo-
pie of the flood. In fear and appre-
hension the rsidents of Yuma wait
ed. The water kept rising until on
Sunday afternoon, the 22nd of Feb
ruary, 1891, the levee crumbled away
and let in the raging torrent of the
Colorado. In less time than it takes
to tell it the present Main street of
the city was covered with a fast
flowing stream fully eleven feet deep.
Every structure on the east side of
the street, which was much lower
than it is now, was washed away or
collapsed. One man, Gus Lee, who
tended bar for Louis Eschelburn, lost
his life in a futile endeavor to cross
the veritable mill race running thru
Main street.
In day the water began to sub
side and the people of Yuma had
begun to take heart, believing that
the danger had passed, when, on
the following Thursday,a still greater
flood came rushing down upon them,
flood of which they had had no
warning, because all the telegraph
lines ais well as the railroad track for
distance Of 80 miles to the east
and FIVE miles to the west had been
washed out. This food completely
submerged all of Yuma and washed
away every structure of every de-
scription, except four frame shacks
on. the embankment near the rail-
road station. The people were abb
solutely without any shelter for
time, but soon Captain Ingalls,, who
was then superintendent of the ter
ritorial penitentiary, had every one
come up on the hill and take refuge
in his institution pending the receipt
of tents from the United States gov
ernment,-Yuma Sun,

PR0LETAR|A1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--Count
ION Hertling's speech in the reichs-
ag, continuing the discussion of the
var aims of the belligerent powers,
las not changed the situation, in the
opinion of high officials here. In
stead of marking an advance toward
world peace, it is regarded rather
rs deliberately calculated to strength
IN the hands of the German militar-
ist party by endeavoring to convince
The German prOletariat of the i'm
practicable nature of President Will
;On's war aims as disclosed in his
address to congress on February II.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for a basis of peace, the
German chancellor dismissed them as
idealfstic and unavoidable by insist
ing that they must depend for their
application upon the realization of
conditions which cannot be met. In
he official view his treatment of
he subject was ironical and design
I'd for very different ends than the
edvancement of peace.
There will be no immediate formal
Comment upon this latest contribu-
ion to the debate on war aims and
peace aspirations. Experience has
aught officials that important quail
ications are be found usually in the
,ull text of the speeches of the spokes
nen of the central powers.
Attention was directed by officials
o President Wilson's former charac-
.erization of the German chancelior's
utterances as very vague and confus-
;ng," and it was said the presidents
comment had peculiarly apt appli-
cation to the speech of yesterday, in
which Won Hertling signitied his fun
damental agreement with President
Wilson's four principles.
President Wilson in his last ad-
dress to congress said Of the chan
cellor's speech delivered few days
before: ''His discussion and accept
jance Of our general principles led
aim to no practicable conclusions He
refuses to apply them to the substan-
tial items which must constitute the

GROUND GLASS
I'M CORN MEAL

Casa Grande was startled early
this week when the treacherouS work
of the Hun was discovered right here
in Casa Grande, and the horrors of
Hun ruthlessness, barbarism and
downright "kultur' was brought to
our very doors, says the Casa Grande
Dispatch,
Ground glass in the corn meal
shipped in here from some outside
mill was found by Mrs, w, e. Woot-
on of this place. The lady made some
corn bread and served it at a meal
when, after partaking of quite a lit
tie of it, she noticed the particles in
the bread.
She sifted the meal and took out
considerable quantity of the ground
glass. Fortunately, it was discovered
before much damage could be done,
and up to the present Mrs. Wootan
has suffered no trouble,
This ground glass is probably part
of a widespread attempt on the lives
of the American people and even ami
mails. Sundays papers recorded the
fact that seventeen horses died from
the effect of ground glass in the feed
at an army cantonment in Texas,
and that ground glass was discover
ed in the candy sold in stores To-
Gated near the camps.
1t is time we began keeping close
watch on everything eatable. The
safest way to defeat the ground glass
in the -four and meal is to grind your
own meal. Many people are already
doing it and reducing the cost of liv-
ing as we'll as insuring safety

to Yuma Saturday for the first time
in twenty-six years. When he first
saw Yuma in 1892 it was a village

DRILLING AT STANDARD.

The first drill hole is now being
put down at the Arizona Standard
Copper company's property, located
about IA miles east of Parker. This
initial hole is expected to develop
sufficient water for the drilling of
other holes. At present the company
is forced to haul portion of it's
water supply from Parker, as the
we'll at the camp is insufficient to
supply the drilling rig with the
necessary water. The drill hole is
being put down a few hundred feet
east of the old we'll. 1t is expected
that an ample water supply will be
encountered at 800 feet depth.

JAP PANESE MAY
TAKE SIBERIA

The Japanese, according to press
dispatches, intend to take action in
Siberia at an early date, and there
are evidences that the Japanese have
long been preparing to carry out this
move.
The situation in Siberia is consid-
cred extremely grave, owing to the
inability of the Cossack general, Sem
enOff, head of the anti-Bolsheviki
movement in that vast territory, to
secure allied support, for which he
has appealed to the Japanese.
General Semenoff's movement now
is officially recognized, and general
committee has been formed at Har-
bin, which will act as a general staff,
divided into three Departmental
nancial, military and administrative.
The Russian consul, M Popoff, has
been appointed chairman of the COM
mittee.
Two thousand Germans have been
armed and are drilling at Irkutsk,
capital of the government of Irkutsk,
in eastern Siberia, and, according to
an official report received from
foreign consul, the Germans are
making all preparations to bring
much larger forces there.
For some time Bolsheviki have
been operating in eastern Siberia and
even in Manchuria In December it
was reported that Japanese had land
ed at Vladivostok, where large guam
ties of stores for the Russians had
congested and where the Bolsheviki
were said to be gathering prepara-
tory to an attack with the object of
capturing the supplies.

RUSSIANS ARE
OPPOSING HUNS

PETROGRAD, Feb. 27.-An off,
cial proclamation issued today, call
ing upon the people to defend the
capital, says:
''ln spite Of the fact that the gov
ernment has accepted the peace con-
ditiOns imposed by the German and
Austrian governments, the imperialist
assassins are, nevertheless, continu-
ing their mOnstrous advance into the
interior of Russia. The cursed min
ions of William and the German Kali
edines, together with the White
guards are advancing again and kill
ing the soviets, reconstituting the
power of the landlords, bankers and
capitalists and preparing for the res
toration of the monarchy.
THE revolution is in peril. A
mortal blow will he struck against
Red Petrograd. If you workers, SOL
diers and peasants wish to retain
power and the power of the soviets
you must fight these lords, who now
are seeking to devour you to your
last gasp.

IMPORTANCE Of
THEPROSPECT0R

All Of the important mining fields
Of the world owe their discovery to
the prospector This tireless and
usually illy-rewarded individual has
been a factor in mining for several
THOUSAND years and he has made pos
sible the large development of the
metal industry. One might reason
ably suppose that honors and favors
would be heaped upon the man who
has done SO much for mining, but
as matter of fact he has been neg
lected, except to be praised faint
heartedly now and then. In prac-
tically none of the countries whore
mining is extensively conducted are
the laws SO framed as to properly en-
courage prospecting. The govern
ments seemingly fear that they might
give away something for nothing and
they impose restrictions upon the
finders of new claims that at times
closely resemble penalties:
Old mines and districts are being
worked out and the world-demand
for metal Is growing at a rapid pace.
More and more the fact becomes ap-
parent that many new mines are i'm
peratively needed and positively must
be discovered. These can be found
only by the prQspector and If govern
ments are halfway wise they will
enact legislation to encourage and
literally reward the seracher for
