SILVER INDUSTRY STABILIZED

Fixing Of export silver at $1.015
per ounce by the U. S. treasury really
fixes that as the world price because
our country is the principal source
OF supply
Thus by exigency Of war the white
metal that means so much to the
west has come into it's own, making
the industry permanently profitable,
The great mining regions Of the
west are sure to respond with great
er production, not only Of silver but
of gold, lead, zinc, platinum, copper
and other precious metals
Owing to the scarcity and high
price of labor there is no danger of
production, but there is guaran-
ty of high state of prosperity for
the west.
Especially will this be true when
present problems of gold mining in
dustry are Strengthened out.

Primary Election Sept. 10.

The date of the primary election is
register will be August 80 There
are numerous candidates out for
nomination on the democratic ticket,
all of whom are either residents of
Yuma or Yuma valley There is
very little interest manifested here
and in other towns of northern Yuma
county in the forthcoming primary
election The northern end has re-
ceived such rotten deal over the
distribution OF the highway bond
funds that the people are pretty much
disgusted. The $4,000 which has
been tied up in a law suit in the
supreme court has been available for
some time but no effort is being
made to use this sum on the roads in
the north. 1t is said Oh good author
ity that the people of the southern
end of the county propose that this
sum shall be spent in Yuma valley.
Until after election there is little
hope of the board of supervisors ap-
portioning this money for if they
decide to spend it in the Yuma valley,
north end voters will retaliate at the
polls in November, and if they spend
it in the north the valley voters will
do likewise. Therefore, the mem
bers Of the board are between the
devil and the deep, blue sea.

Fords Going Up.

The price of Ford cars took a shoot
upwards on August 16, the touring
cars now selling for 1925, runabouts,
$500, f. o. b., Detroit. The price of
the One-Ton trucks is reduced to
$3.50, f. o. b., Detroit. This is $50
reduction over the former price The
output of the Ford Motor company
has been materially reduced for the
period of the war One-half of the
output hereafter will consist of One
Ton trucks. The Parker Motor COM
pany is probably the only Ford
agency in the state having on hand
stock of new Ford cars, but after the
present stock is exhausted it will be
difficult to secure cars.

SURVEY Of
WATER PROJECT

The survey of the Parker irrigation
project, authorized by congress in an
appropriation in the Indian Appropri
alton bill, will start early in Septem-
ber The proposed survey will be
made with the view of taking water
out of the Colorado river about three
miles above Parker by means of a
gravity ditch for the purpose of ir
rigating all of the surplus Indian
lands which are not now being serv-
ed by pumping 1t is the plan of the
Indian department to forego the con-
struction Of an expensive dam at this
time, believing that the survey will
demonstrate that sufficient water can
be obtained by a grapity ditch, sim
liar to that of the Blythe irrigation
system. Later, it is planned to con-
struct a dam for the purpose of de-
veloping power as we'll as the irriga-
tion of all of the lands in the
Colorado River Indian reservation.
The survey will be completed as
the engineer in charge to have his
report completed before December /,
so that the department will know
definitely the cost of the, project It
is expected that a bill will be intro
duced in congress by Congressman
Hayden early in December providing
for the opening of the lands, and an
appropriation for their reclamation.
