How to Kill the Prohteers.

Hon. j. J. Sanders of Prescott,
formerly a member of the terri
torial legislature and later parole
clerk at the state prison, has thru
letter to Carl Hayden, outlined
his idea of meeting the present
high cost of living, Let wages,
salaries and rents be adjusted in
proportion to the average cost
of the accessories of life, is the
ieea.
We should have national COM
mission empowered to adjust
matters of wages, salaries, rents,
etc., in accordance with and
clothing" To which it is sug-
gested that national commissions
are to far away, too slow ard too
full of political red tape. Let
the states, counties, municipal
ties and towns put up a licence
for privelage of doing business
with the public in selling and buy
ing. Any unprofessional conduct
cheating, profteering, etc., will
prove a violation and create revo-
cation of the licence. Then
they'll be forced to act honestly
or go out Of business.

Boost The Wickenburg Route

Talk up the Wickenburg route
for the California highway. Don t
let inertia cause the route to go
by way of Buckeye, when the
route thru this city is the most
practical and economical to the
state and will save the federal
highway commissioners a quarter
Of a million in bridging the Has
sayampa and building the road
bed in a desert of interminable
sand.

A Do Nothing Congress.

The republicans have long been
loud in proclaiming their super
ior leadership. They have said
theirs is the party with construc-
tive policies. They have pre-
sented a woeful spectacle of
themselves in the present con
gress and have failed to measure
up to the standards laid down
for their party. If this congress
should be characterized by one
phrase, we can think of none
more apt than "The do nothing
Congress" The chief character
istic of the leaders has been that
of pickering, fault-fnding and
playing politics. Tucson Post.

WCKENBURG, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1919
Desert Mines Watered From
Lake May.

Lake May, O,UUU 1O0C dUOV0
the sea, with it's limitless supply
of pure soft mountain water,
may prove the future source of
moisture for the vast, undevel-
oped mineral resources of Yuma
county. This lake is not a nat
ural one, it is the work of men,
who in spite of many discourage
ments, built a dam 80 feet high,
in that region remote from habi-
tation or wagon road.
Much of the material used was
carried on the backs of burros
and mules for a distance of Is
miles. The lake contains ten
millions of gallons of water and
the supply is the run-off from a
vast mountain area.
With the completion of the
Lake May storage dam at the
New King mine, northern Yuma
county, the mines of this section
have a new lease on life. and the
proven mines of the Kofa and
other districts will, many of
them, astonish the world, was a
statement by a Yuma business
man to the Examiner.
For many years proven mines
have remained unproductive be-
cause of the high cost of water,
and no profteering at that. Even
the fabulously rich New King
mine, which in it's palmy days as
the king of Arizona, discov-
cred by Charlie Eichelberger,
was finally unable to mine gold
property because water from a
1000 foot we'll was impractical
and too costly, while the smaller
mines couldn't operate situated
as they are, forty to seventy
miles from the Colorado river,
with the mule and burro the
available method of transporta-
ton.
But with the reorganization of
the New King company, of which
w. j. Johnson of New York is the
chief stockholder, the Lake May
Dam was conceived and built at a
cost of tens of thousands of dol
lars and today Mr.. Johnson, who
is now at the mines. is prepared
not only to supply his own prop
erty but all other mines in the
Yuma district.
There will never be any short
age of water, for Lake May could
supply the city of Yuma if called
upon so to do.
Besides the New King, the
proven mines nearby are the
Kitty Ross, Max Cohen, Quar-
tette, North Star and many 9th
ers, all of them with enough good
gold ore in sight to make any
company rich. Some of them
have shipped high grade ore re-
Gently, but ore below $50 per ton
remains on the dump. r,4.

Wickenburg Route to Los
Angeles.

Recommendation of the Wicken-
burg auto route to Los Angeles
by the Sou. California Auto club
recently is now simulated by the
Warren Dist. Auto club, which
sent out special trail blazer in
person of w. B. Gohring, C. and
A. Superintendent a fortnight
ago.
Mr.. Gohring made the trip in q
Marmon car, leaving warren on
Tuesday a. m. and taking the
route via Tucson, Phoenix, Wick
enburg, Wenden, Ehrenburg,
Blythe and Mecca, Banning and
Cotton arrived at Los Angeles
Thursday 2::45 p. m.
The distance covered was 664
miles and he reported the trip
without incident and roads in

Opening Play Mt Lakewood "The
Brat"

The opening performance of James
Durkin's Lakewood Stock Company
will be held on Monday evening, June
23rd
In 1.-The Brat little Maude Fulton
has done something unparalleled in
the history of the stage. Not only
did she write her own play but as
sumed the leading role in 1t and won
the greatest success of any actress
since Laurette Taylor captivated the
New York Public with her inimitable
peg O'My Heart. In fact as Steph-
en- Rathburn wrote in the Evening
Sun THE Brat deserves its success
because it is a better play than Peg
O'My Heart" 1t has depth feeling,
clever satire, and rings true as bell.
Briefly the story Of THE Brat
concerns little chorus girl that is
down and out on her luck, when she
is picked up by very noted author
who is looking for local color for a
new book that he is writing. lie
takes her to his mothers home and
for the first time in months THE
Brat" as she is called knows what 1t
is to have good meal and warm
cosy room and everything that she
desires.
The author becomes more than in
terested in his protege. because she
has a quaint sense of philosophy all
her own and has wealth or good
traits and affection. The authors
younger brother falls deeply in love
with her but the Brat, cares for some
one else.
As days go by, she gradually wears
off all the old rough edges of her
early life and really tries hard to be
Just what the author tells her happens
to the heroine of his book. THE
Brat" Is bright and amusing come
dy with plenty of snappy lines that
are not infrequent. The advantage
of being goat" is explained as
that zone can eat anything The
society debutants speaks superiority
to "The Brat" about her set. DO
your kind come in sets the waif
asks in reply.
If all plays with message were
like 1.-The Brat" everyone would be
happy for it is an original witty play
that is surprisingly human and full of
mirth.

is not eloquent OF the impression made
upon them while on their short visit
here, that they are coming back to

not surprising. Who, for instance
