Hides, Pelts, Wool. Etc.
Review of the Market by The Redick

HcVleW>O the Market by The Redick
~ Hide & Fur Co.
HIDES: Market is still unsettled
and lower. Tanners refuse to buy
current receipt hides except at. low
prices and we are forced to lower our
quotations.
PELTS: The market is lower in
sympathy with the unsettled wool
situation and We find it advisable to
cut u prices soc each on full wool
pelts.
TALLOW: The market rules firm,
although consumers are trying to
pound down prices but it seems the
much Of a. decline, if any,.
RAW FURS: Prices have been
forced very high and a reaction has
already taken place on some articles
andlit is expected others will follow.
Muskrat. Weasel. Wolf and Mink are
still wanted. With warmer. weather
fur bearing animals will start to shed
and lower values are bound. to rule.

PARKER'S ICE PLANT.

Messrs. Lamoureux and Johnson,
since taking over the ice plant Of the
Parker Improvement company, have
thoroughly renovated and improved
the working capacity Of the plant SO
they are now in position to turn
out more ice of a superior quality
than any establishment of the kind
in northern Yuma county. Their Ice
is pronounced by connoisseurs to be
equal to the natural article Of
Truckee, Cal, and this fact is GER
tainly appreciated by patrons from
the fact that they have already be-
gun to make large shipments of their
product to all the towns in northern
Yuma, even though the hot weather
has not yet fairly commenced.

POTASH MINES
NEAR PARKER

What promises to be an important
matter at this time is the develop
ment OF potash on large scale In
this vicinity In April of last year
there was discovered surface indica-
tions of potash on the Bill Williams,
in quantities sufficient. to interest
several parties who, since then, have
been sinking shafts, securing samples
and having assays and tests made.
These tests proved so good that the
matter was taken hold of in dead
earnest, and claims have been filed
on the ground, and efforts have been
made to interest capital in the
matter.
At the present time j. L. Mitten-
buhler of Chicago, representing
eastern capitalists, is in town confer
ring with the holders and promoters
OF the enterprise, among them being
j. E. Stovall, Lee Cobb, Al Green, O.
c. Byrnes, Lee McGee, M. e. Brown
and other interested parties.
The ground involved covers about
5000 acres, and lies north of the Bill
Williams and east of the Colorado, In
Mohave county, and most of the
ground seems thoroughly impregnat-
ed with potash.
Should this proposition prove as
good as everything indicates, the de-
velopment Of it will mean much to
the United States government in her
present need of munition material, as
we'll as to Parker and the people in
terested.

INDIANS DIRE PREDICTIONS.

The Indians on the Parker reser-
vation are greatly perturbed-filled
with grave apprehensions and gloomy
forebOdings aprOpos of the signs of
the times as interpreted by their
medicine men," and refuse to be
comforted.
According to reports from those
who are on the inner circle and have
access to their secret and solemn
conclaves, it appears that the Mojaves
Or rather many of them-firmly be-
lieve that pestilence and famine, dire
tribulations and sore travail, such as
the world has never before seen, are
imminent. In support of these pre-
lictions they point to the European
war and the direct influence felt here
through. the steady raise in the price
Of foodstuffs, and locally they see the
larbinger of evil verified in the fact
chat an Indian child was recently
drowned in one of the canals and
ieath has lately invaded so many OF
their homes. And again, as though
through special design of his Satanic
Majesty to make his presence felt
and at the same time add to their
burden of woe, one of their tribes
men recently became suddenly insane
This to them was very perplexing,
for never before in the traditions of
the tribe was a case Of mental aber-
ration known, and notwithstanding
the fact that the patient has since
recovered his reason, his dementia
having been due to merely local
cause, they still seem to regard the
phenomenon with uncanny trepida-
tiOn and grave superstitious awe.
Indians in their aboriginal state
all lean more or less in belief toward
;he supernatural, and despite their
present enlightened condition many
Of them still harbor much Of that in
grained superstition inculcated
through their weird traditions and
tribal legends, and in times of stress
jeek solace in their ancestral creed
md the incantations of their crafty
medicine men"

SCHULTZ FACES LIFE SENTENCE

Paul Schultz, formerly of Needles
and Oatman, and who was taken from
the former city to Los Angeles several
weeks ago on bootlegging charge,
is now in the county Jail at San Ber-
nardinO, according to the Nugget,
after pleading guilty to the charge of
introducing fire-water to Indians on
a United States Indian reservation.
The Offense was committed at Parker.
Schultz feels that he faces a life
sentence, according to San Bernar-
dino paper. The commitment reads
that he serve the sixty days and that
he must stay in the county Jail until
his fine Of 500 is paid. He declares
he hasn't friend in the world whom
he could secure the 500. and has no
idea where he will ever be able to
raise that much money while in Jail.
Schultz was sentenced to 60 days
in Jail and 500 fine by Federal
Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe in Los
Angeles. Being federal prisoner,
Schultz must be kept in the Jail, and
cannot even be sent out to one of the
county road camps.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
January 1, 1913, is given by figures
just announced by the q. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit.
ed States has furnished complete year.
ly rations for 57,1OO,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for p, ,194,570 additional men.
The total export Of wheat and wheat
hour to the three principal allies 10
equivalent to about 384,OOO,OO bushels
Pork exports for the 31a years amount
ed to almost 2,0OOOOO,OOO pounds Ex-
ports Of fresh beef totaled 449, ,4S4, 400
pounds The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

PRAISES NORTHERN YUMA,

A. b. Ming, county assessor and
member Of the executive committee
Of Yuma County Liberty Loan organ
ization, was in the northern part of
the county last week, partly on pri-
vate business and at the same time
looking after the Liberty loan drive
in this section of the county. With
reference to his observations in these
parts he sent the following telegram
to J. H. Westover of Yuma, chairman
of the Liberty Loan Committee:
Il find all communities in the nor
thern part of Yuma county doing fine
work. Parker and Wenden each sold
more than one-half of their allot-
ment of Liberty bonds and both ex-
pect to ''go over the top" tomorrow
night. Teachers and Indians of the
Parker Indian reservation have taken
over $4,000 alone"
The chairman of the executive
committee allotted to Parker $4,000
and to Wenden SIS, 200 as their part of
the loan to be raised in Yuma county.
The Yuma Sun,in a word of comment,
says that Yuma and the valley as
we'll as other parts of the county
should gather an inspiration from
the good work of these northern Sec
tlons and hustle up with their part
of the loan,

ALL OFFENSES BAILABLE.

All offenses in Arizona, except
treason, and that is a federal offense,
are bailable since the abolition of
capital punishment. Some people are
not aware. of this fact and also the
the further fact that it is mandatory
for magistrate or judge to fix bail
ior any offense when application for
it is made to him. Therefore it fol-
lows that any person accused of crime
can obtain his liberty through the
legal procedure above outlined.

Monday last Jack George, while
cutting wood at his home, happened
to split a stick in such a manner as
to leave intact the nest of what was
supposedly a wood worm. This nest
is quite curiosity, consisting of q
round hole about the size of a lead
pencil and about four inches deep,
and lined from top to bottom
with green mesquite leaves, each
leaf being Joined to the others with
the utmost precision, the whole MAX
ing tube as perfect as though it had
been cast in mold. Just what pur-
pose this lining was intended to serve
can only be matter of conjecture
to those not versed in the mysteries
OF entomology, but most likely it
was placed there to form a smooth
covering for the walls of the hole or
to serve as food for the larva.
While these hole-borings by in
sects are quite numerous in this To-
cality, this seems to be the first one
found that shows such a marked i'm
provement in the work. fact which
would lead to the inference that these
insects are evolving into a higher
type of the species through the pro-
cess of evolution and survival of
the fittest, agreeable to that law
which is in constant progress in the
insect world.
However that may be, the specimen
is Of interest to the student of nature
as it demonstrates the marvellous
order and unerring principle which
obtain even in the obscure domain
Of the insect. and illustrates in a
striking manner the perfection Of
that supreme, divine intelligence
which pervades all nature.
