But while the Courier seems inclined
to make light of the affair and poke
fun at at US, it is a fact nevertheless
that snakes in the neighbOrhOOd of
Parker are getting worse every day.
Since that scriptural decree, "On thy
belly thou shalt crawl and dust thou
shalt eat all the days of thy life, !"
etc, went into effect, the snakes here

IMPORTANCE OF MINING IN
nTISTRY

The seven mining counties in the
state of Arizona represent $654,957,-
35O35 of the states total assessed
valuation, 1884, In this
list Cochise county ranks first with
an assessed valuation of $169,34S,
466.17, Gila second with. $165, 5,647,-
7S2.48, Yavapai county third, $780,
75,38162.
According to these figures, the min
ing counties will pay into the state
treasury on the tax rate of 80 cents
on the 500 Of valuation in round
numbers about $2,700,O0O. These
figures provide strong documentary
and cash confirmation of the claims
advanced as to the vital Importance
Of the mining industry in Arizona
The state would have only about one
fifth of the money it needs to con-
duct it's business if the mining coun-
ties were eliminated from returns
with their mines.

No GERMAN
MADE PEACE

The United States has turned its
back upon the Austro-Hungarian
peace proposal. Secretary Lancing
authorized by President Wilson, has
| announced that the United States
'can and will enter into no proposals
concerning matter upon which it
has made its position and purposes
so plain
The British secretary of foreign
affairs, Mr.. Balfour, though unoffi-
cially, stated that he is utterly un-
able to see how such conferences as
are proposed could have the desired
end, and added
1T is incredible that anything can
come from this project"
While the German newspapers
comment upon this proposal as if
Germany had no part in it, Vienna
papers emphatically declare that all
the allies of Austria were informed
of it, though the action was Aus
tria's alone.
Meanwhile in the theatres of war
fighting is going on steadily, and in
Macedonia, where the reconstructed
Serbian army is cooperating with
French forces, the allies have stormed
three fortified positions and taken
Vetrena, Dobropolje and Sokal-con-
sidered the most important part of
the Macedonian front.
American and German patrols are
doing the major part of the work on
the Lorraine front, but there is a
possibility of great attack from
one side or the other in the Vosges
soon.
While the Czecho-Slovaks have
been courageously carrying on the
war against the Bolsheviki, steps
have been taken looking to the or
ganizatiOn of Polish divisions in
Eastern Siberia to fight their way
westward to their fatherland.
1t is estimated that 100, 900 trained
men can be made available at once
in the region of Harbin, Nikolsk and
VladivOstok.

his paper into zones and to divide up
the reading matter and advertise
ments and pay separate rates on each
in each zone. This does not double
the former postage rates, but the
extra work costs about five times as
much as the postage paid.
Over 200 newspapers went up the
0ume last year and there is little
doubt but what under existing regu-
lations 1900 or more will give up
the job this year
The impression is gaining ground
that the present administration
wouldn't care much if nine-tenths of
the papers could be put out of busi-
ness. The bulk of the reading mat
ter now is government publicity dope
printed free; the publisher is asked
freely for his product for nothing and
is soaked for doing it,
While we have no great complaint
to make, 1t is good deal like hob
bling fellow, then giving him
swift kick and telling him to run.
Our main object, however, is to ad-
wise the public of the limitations
placed on the newspaper game

MEXICAN CELEBRATION.

The Aztec Club of Parker, assisted
by all the Mexican population of this
locality, celebrated the 108th ami
versary of Mexican independence, be-
ginning Sunday evening and continu-
ing until Tuesday morning. The ex-
ercises were held at Hosfelt's hall
which had been beautifully decorated
within with the Mexican colors.
Dancing commenced Sunday evening
and was kept up during the entire
night and throughout the next day,
with short periods of intermission
for refreshments.
Tuesday afternoon an amateur
circus performance was given in the
hall, in which Alberto Reyes walked
tight rope, Manuel Parez performed
on the trapese and Asenano Balascla
acted the part of clown. The per-
fOrmance was very good.
About five o'clock Tuesday after
noon they had parade. The "sen-
oritas" rode ahead In a bunting be-
decked automobile while the "mou-
chachos' brought up the rear on foot
wearing their gaudy tri-color re-
galias. The parade would have been
a very imcosing one had 1t not been
lacking in numbers.
After the parade Alberto Reyes, as
president of the day, read the Mexi-
can declaration of Independence, fol-
lowing it up with remarks appropri-
ate to the occasion.
After sunset the cabellaros and
senoritas amused themselves by
speeding up and down the streets in
autos, and later dancing was re-
sumed and continued till morning.

MARTINS SNAKE.

The Parker Post tells of a snake
which glided from under house, ,seiz-
ed small chicken and was grabbed
by bystander who rescued the
chicken unscathed from the snakes
mouth. The snake succeeded in get
ting back under the house, where
after listening for a while to the con
VersatiOn about it's exploit, it again
glided from under the house and
seized anOther chicken, andfthe same
man again seed the snake. This
time, in the triangular struggle
between snake, chicken and man. the
chickens head was pulled off and
went down the snake which again
glided under the house and listened
10 what was said, while the man was
left holding the headless body of the
chicken. Thus have we another ex-
empliiicatiOn of the old aGage that
two is company and three a crowd
