VIC. HUMPHREY
CROSSES DIVIDE

Walter c. Humphrey aged Sc years,
passed away last Saturday night, al
ter a brief illness of pneumonia. A
few days previous the deceased came
in from his Copper Basin mining
property, suffering from bad cold
and fever. which later developed into
pneumonia.
For the past ten years the deceased
has been a resident OF Parker, and
here. He owned some valuable min
ing claims, and was constantly de-
yeloping them when he was not en-
ployed in some of the mines Of the
district.
Little Is known of the deceased 8
relatives, except that he has brothers
and sisters living some place in Iowa.
He was born in Cedar Rapids, Ia,
in 1851, and left home at an early
age to make his own way in the
world
"Walt" Humphrey, as he was ia
miliarly known here, had hosts Of
friends. He always had good word
to say for everybody, and it is doubt
full that he ever made an enemy.
The funeral took place Monday
afternoon from the undertaking par
lors of J. F. Collins, thence to the
M. E. church. where a large crowd
assembled to pay their last respects
to the deceased.
The services at the church were
conducted by F. M. Hall, in the alb
sence of the regular pastor. Mr.. Hall
delivered an excellent address, pay
ing high tribute to the character
Of the deceased. The church choir
rendered several sacred hymns.
The pallbearers were the following
old-time friends of the deceased: Joe
Curtis, George Sutton, Herman Roe
der, John King, Barney Wolfe and
Lew Miskell.
The funeral was one of the largest
that ever occurred in Parker

TRUCK TURNS OVER TWICE.

Dan O'Connor had narrow escape
last Sunday afternoon when the truck
belonging to the Illinois-Arizona Cop
per company went over an embank-
ment near the mine and turned over
twice before it finally landed in the
bottom of the gulch. 1t appears that
the brake failed to work when the
truck was ascending steep incline,
backing down into the gulch, Young
Dan stuck to the car, and landed safe
ly at the bottom without a scratch.
The truck was undamaged except
for the breaking of the windshield
and the cab.

METAL OUTLOOK
IS FAVORABLE

There are some pessimists who an
ticipate a drop in the price of the
base metals after the war to a point
where their mining will show only
IA precarious margin of profit A
majority of the authorities, however,
believe that for an extended period
Following a declaration of peace there
will be a strong market for metals
of all kinds.
The rehabilitation OF Europe will
result in a heavy drain on the mines,
and while large quantity OF the
supplies needed will be produced by
the striken countries themselves, they
will, OF necessity, purchase a consid-
cradle amount in the United States.
Added to this, consumption III this
country should be heavy.
1t must not be forgotten that many
projects requiring metals have been
held up for number of years, re-
ating source Of demand that un-
doubtedly will be enormous IN the
builGing line, particularly which
uses So many Iail'ions Of ton? of met
ais, activity bSa been at a standstill,
and boom in building looms as a
certainty. Then again, the manu-
facture of various necessities in which
metal is employed has been extensive
ly curtailed in order to Increase the
war munitions output.
New stocks, requiring a vast a.
mount of material, must be fabri-
Gated before conditions again may be
said to have reached a normal basis.
Therefore, while it is evident Europe
must use much metal for it's rehabili-
tation, it is becoming increasingly
evident that many industries in the
United States will also be in need
of rejuvenatiOn, and will be import
ant customers of the mines.
So far as the metal market is con-
cerned, there may be temporary price
setbacks, but the future is populous
with bullish factors that cannot be
swept aside.
There is every reason to anticipate
a decided revival in mining after the
war, in logical keeping with metal
conditions the world over. Bearish
sentiment at this time has no excuse
for existence-Denver Daily Mining
Record.

FRUIT AND SHADE TREES.

DR.. A. H. Littlefield sent to
nursery in Los Angeles and received
last week goodly number Of fruit
and shade trees, which he has plant
ed on the lot surrounding his home.
The fruit trees consisted Of peach,
mulberry, apricot, fig and the shade
trees are of the black locust variety.
For this locality no better shade
tree than the locust could have been
selected. 1t is of very rapid growth,
will grow in soil so poor that no
other vegetation could exist, and
once it has taken root it reqpires no
water, except such moisture as it
may get from the winter rains, and
no care or cultivation whatever.
Moreover, the wood is hard and has
4 good commercial value for either
iuel or lumber. The locust belongs
10 the mesquite family, and as the
latter is indigenous to this soil and
climate there is no reason why the
,ormer should not do exceptionally
veil here. AS shade is prerequisite
10 comfort in this sunny CLINE num-
Der of these trees planted on a town
lot would be growing asset, enhanc-
.ng the value OF the property with
each succeeding year far more than
other improvements OF a perishable
nature-and all at little or no ex-
Dense.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE GER
MAN CHANCELLOR,

President Wilson in his address
to Congress on February IL said:
''The method the German chan
cellOr proposes is the method Of the
Congress of Vienna. We can not and
will not return to that Is it pos
sible that Count Won Hertling does
not see that, does not grasp it, is in
fact living in his thought in a world
dead and gone"
Count Won Hertling in his address
to the Reichstag on February 26, re-
torts as follows:
President Wilson, who reproaches
the German chancellor with a certain
amount Of backwardness, seems to
me in his view of ideas to have hur-
ried far in advance of existing reali-
ties
These two quotations illustrate the
difference between the American and
the German standpoint.
America does demand something
beyond the existing realities that
Germany has created-demands a
better day, the observance Of the
rules Of civilization, an honorable
rule of national conduct, freedom and
justice to small nations, to all peo-
Piles, which do not exist today be-
cause of German kuItur
Germany insists upon a return to
and perpetuatiOn of fraud and 'ty-
ranny and ruthlessness, a disregard
of justice to small nations, indeed to
all nations and peoples, a conscience
less rule of international conduct.
These things may not yet be dead
and gone" but they will be dead and
gone" when this war is ended.
The difference between the two
positions is the difference between
a future safe and free and just, and
a past cruel, unjust, treacherous and
tyrannous, the difference between
American ideals and practice and
German kultur and atrocities.

NEEDLES MAY 60 DRY.

1t was definitely decided at the
meeting of the board of trustees Mon
day night to put the initiative or
dinance, aimed to make Needles bone
dry on January L, 1919, on the bal
lot at the April election for, the de-
cision OF the people.
The first petition, circulated sew
eral weeks ago, and which was cal
culated to close the saloons on July
1st OF this year. was thrown into the
discard when many Of the signers Pc
tioioned to have their names remov-
ed therefrOm. The city clerk declar-
ed this petition insufficient. A sec
ond petition, containing the ordin-
ance which will go upon the ballot,
was presented, duly certified as suff1-
cient This petition was gotten up
with the sole purpose Of superceding
the original petition, If possible to
secure enough Withdrawals from that
petition, and if such a move failed
both ordinances were to go on the
ballot.
The dry forces were quick to rea-
lize that this would be suicide for
their cause, inasmuch as the second
petition was signed by nearly every
representative business man Of the
city, issued a statement urging the
signers Of the first petition to with
draw, so that just the one proposition
would go on the ballot on April s.

BABY BONDS GO
LIKE HOT CAKES

In proportion to it's population Par
ker eQualed if not Outdistanced every
other town or city in Arizona last
Saturday in its drive for the sale of
Thrift and War-Savings Stamps
The total sales for the day amount
ed to $1,533.75, and the selling of
this amount of stamps is the best
evidence in the world that the peo-
pie of this community are intensely
patriotic, and are right back of the
Huns
Under the directorship of G. A.
Marsh the various squads were out
early in the morning lining up their
campaign for the day, and by 10
O'Clock every worker was busy hand
ing out stamps and taking in the
coin.
Trips to the various mines were
made and the miners and bosses were
liberal in their purchases. The en-
ployes at the Indian school all pur-
chased stamps, and, in fact, every
body, with few exceptions, purchased
what stamps they could afford.
In the evening a big dance and
social was held at Hosfelt's hall,
where wheels of fortune were re-
sponsible for the sale of more stamps,
until every war-saving and thrift
stamp in town was completely sold
out, and in addition to the available
stock on hand at the Valley Bank
the postoffice and the Santa Fe sta
tion, there was sold $251OO worth
of stamps, with promise of future de-
livery.
The new service flag, recently do
mated by the ladies of Parker, was
formally presented to the public in
brief address by F. M. Hall
Many Parkerites purchased as high
as 500 worth of the baby bonds, be-
lieving that they are the best invest
ment in the world, which they are.
Everyone who purchased stamps Sat
urday intend to keep on buying the
baby bonds as fast as their savings
accumulate, and in this way they will
I be doing their bit toward this great
war Of democracy.
Yuma also held big drive for the
sale of war savings stamps last Sat
urday, and according to reports the
people Of that city bought about $780,
600 worth of baby bonds Every
citizen of the county should feel
proud of the showing made both in
Yuma and Parker.
