INSURANCE BY MAIL
 UNLAWFUL IN STATE
 RULES COMMISSION

Mail order insurance" which is re- ported as growing rapidly in popu- iarity throughout the United States. cannot be written legally in Arizona. Clyde M. Candy, assistant attorney general ruled in an opinion for the state corporation commission yester- day. The only way out for such com panies is to pay license like straight companies and have authorized agents in the state.
 A physician who examines an ap- plicant for mail order insurance" as explained. commits an offense against the law in Arizona. The matter was brought to the attention of the com mission through receipt of a letter from Charles Dodds, Louisville, Ky, managing editor of the Insurance Field" an insurance trade publication, who asked particularly concerning the rights to do business in Arizona, of the Postal company.
 MT Gandy's opinion applies to this company and to all companies oper- ating under the mail order system, without state licenses. MT Candy said it is difficult to reach such compan- ies, when, a crime is alleged to have been committed because there is nc representative in the state.

RICH MESA ACREAGE AT YUMA INSPECTED

Six thousand acres of Mesa land near Yuma, which are to be sold by the United States government at pub lie auction December 10, are being in spected by prospective bidders. ac- cording to advices from Yuma yes terday. The lands are being adver- tised as the Best citrus fruit lands in the United States" the specific claim being made that the upper mesa, where the lands are situated is absolutely above the frost belt. that this discovery was made during the big freeze in California in the winter of 1s12-1913.
 The government requirements are that s250 an acre. with water rights, be the lowest price that can be offered, that 10 per cent must be paid down and that no person can buy more than 40 acres. The water for irrigating the 5000 acres will be pumped up a dis tance of some 70 feet from the project canal which supplies the lower mesa.

''The repairs needed consist of re- pairing the diversion dam above Livingston and concreting a portion of the bank of the canal damaged by floods when water overflowed the Roosevelt dam. The penstock and power equipment remain in place and could be operated by the same oper- ators now in charge of the dam.
 'The canal produced power for the construction of the dam with a mini mum flew of water utilized at con- sant head of 270 feet which is much more effective than the head obtained at the varying heights of water in the reservoir.
 "The government was under heavy expense in constructing this power feature of the project, but its use for power vastly more than repaid its cost during construction of the dam and ii would seem when the project cam, into the control of the water users logical to suppose that they would utilize it."
