BATHING GIRLS GIVE BOYS A
 GREAT TREAT

| PHOENIX, Ariz., June (by Asso
 ciated Press) The first bathing gir
 parade ever held in what formerly was
 cactus, greasewood- covered desert
 was what Phoenix witnessed today. Atlantic City on the eastern coast
 or Venice on the California seaboard
 never have exhibited more striking
 colorful bathing costumes than those
 which passed in review here. This, at least was the opinion of those who came from every corner of the Salt river valley to see the parade, which marked the re-opening of one of the city's parks. r, Giant cacti, sentinels of the out. skirts of the desert that defied every !colonizing effort of man until the Roosevelt dam poured the water of life into this valley stood out in primeval contrast to the shim- mering silks of beach costumes that might well have graced Newport water fete.
 Desert prospectors, whose acquaint- ance with water for years has been limited almost to what they carried in their canteens, gaped in amazement as the array of abbreviated styles went up, borne by the handsomest automobiles the city and valley could muster.
 Cowboys from some of the great ranches of the southwest, leather chaps Tapping, spurs clanking and broad sombreros shading their wonder ing eyes, stood here and there along the route of the procession in sort of stunned awe.
 But the prospectors and the cow boys were the exceptions in that crowd The great percentage of it., from the young women in the beach costumes who formed the main at traction, to the thousands who turned out to view the spectacle, belonged to the new order, modern, metropoli- tan.
 It was just one more piece of evi- dence that Phonix and Arizona have outgrown the era of the spur and the gun. The prospector, the cowboy and the burro have given place to the hanker the big husinessman. the au- the bathing girl.

CORDOVAN IS UNDER ARREST
 AT FAIRBANKS

E. E. Durgin, who was at one time employed as printer on the Cordova Alaskan, has been arrested at Fair. banks, charged with rifling mail boxes in the Fairbanks postoffice, abstract. ing therefrom envelopes, or packages containing money. He was arraigned before Commissioner Reed Heilig and will be given an opportunity to enter his plea later. The complain upon which a warrant was issued was sworn to by Captain Gohres, of the fire department, who is said to have been witness to the alleged act.
 While none of the parties connected with the matter have made any state ment, it is said that the accused man had at least one letter containing money on his person at the time of the arrest, and that the letter had been taken out of the First National bank post office box .s......
 After being arraigned MT, Durgin was given the usual opportunity of se- curing bondsmen which he did and was released.

bO0TLECCERS OF CALIFORNIA 
 QUITE BUSY

| ASTORIA, Ore, June 2 (by Asso- ciated Press).-Not until the nation goes dry on June 30, and perhaps not then will the troubles of the authori- ties of Astoria and other northern Pa cific ports with the bootleggers of California be over. Ever since the state of Oregon was captured by the prohibitionists trafficking in contra band liquors has been carried on be- tween San Francisco and the Colum- bia river ports more especially Astoria because of the numerous natural ad- vantages afforded for the safe de- livery of the wet goods.
 The authorities here, in their ef- forts to run down the bootleggers. have searched hundreds of lumber car rying steamers and schooners, the yes sels plying regularly between San Francisco and Columbia river ports as we'll as the ships making occasional calls at these ports, their last previous |stop having been some southern port. Their tireless efforts have made the path of the carrier of contraband an anxious one and their efforts have brought thousands of dollars into the municipal and county treasuries. But there has been much of the contra band liquor which has escaped their vigilance.
 One of the favorite ways of evading the authorities is to toss the contra band overheard at a designated point lat the mouth of the river where it is picked up by the person in collision with the custodian from San Francisco to the Columbia river port. Then it is "fshed' up and sold at from $15 to 1925 a quart The price delivered at Astoria runs from $90 to $120 case, but that is for bonded goods.
 As high as 10 and 15 cases have been known to be carried on one ship and the ON tankers have proven ter rible field for the authorities until every one of them was searched as it docked.
 With the nation going dry the traf fickers are devoting their attentions to devising some means of continuing the supply and Sheriff Ole Nelson, of Clatsop county says illicit stills un- doubtedly will spring up in the remote timbered districts of the lower Co lumbia

GOLD SEEKERS
 LEAVE FRISCO
 FOR ARCTIC

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1 (by As sociated Press).-There sailed out. of San Francisco bay a few days ago a little company or thirty men whose ship now is pointing toward the Arctic seas. Gold is the age old lure which inspired this adventure, which means cold and loneliness and discomfort. Possibly hunger and death.
 The schooner Casco/ is the vessel which is bearing the treasure seekers northward and in her cabin Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote many a romance which these modern argo- nauts are likely to parallel. The ships company includes men who have delved in the earth in all parts of the. world. On them will devolve the op- erations required in mining. Men who have sailed the seven seas are on board, and they will see to the naviga- tion Then there are men who have been successful bankers and business men. To several of the latter rated we'll fixed in the matter of, worldly good, the adventure impelled rather than any prospects of financial re- turn. But all thirty are shareholders in the Northern Mining and Trading Company.
 It is another story of search for a rich mining area where gold mug gets may be picked off the surface of the earth and where the ledges are incrusted with the precious ore. The location is secret.
 l.. S. McGirk mining engineer, who has worked in the earth from Panama to Nome, is at the head of the party. His office is the musty little cabin in which Stevenson work ed. The battered old desk on which Stevenson wrote still is in the cabin, splotched by ink stains from his pen.
 It is reported the adventure that led to the new voyage of the Casco was thrust on the man that found. untold wealth in the Arctic, when he and other members of the crew on poach- ing sealer were chased by a Japanese cutter, and their small boat was wrecked.
 He was starving when natives found him. But he forgot his hunger as his eyes rested on gold that fairly seeped through the earth. Without equipment, he says, he returned to civilization with gold worth thousands of dollars. H
 McGirk and others heard the story. Adventurers banded together, each providing his share of the estimated expenses. Some of the thirty sold all they had to get money for the ven- ture. Others, like Albin Johnson, sec retary of the corporation, and Emanuel Johnson. the vice-president. had found much gold inF Alaska and are rich enough to buy dozen mines.
 More than 500, Mc0irk says. had the money and the desire to go. But no man was chosen unless he knew something of mining. Captain c. L. Oliver, the navigator, Is not so much . miner as | seaman. Lieutnant Cor bett Bland, who has been stationed at the Presfdio for two years. is one of the thirty.
 Then there is Pat" Pat is g dog of the North. possibly . Russian volt hound. He was picked up at the city pound. His great-grandparents track d through tho snow of the Arctic.

Peppers Paying Finely

Farmer R. c., Blount received
notice Monday, that seven crates
of pepeprs shipped by him to Chi
cago had sold for over $1,000 per
crate.
Last week, Farmer III. r. Dreg-
gors received a little over $4,000
net returns from seven crates of
peppers shipped to Chicago.
String beans also are bringing
fancy prices, netting the growers
an average of $500 a crate.
1t is regrettable that so few of
our people are engaged in the
trucking industry. A thousand
acres in vegetables between here
and Alligator creek would add
greatly to the business of the

Punta Gorda for Suffrage

munity in the interest of Wo.
Is Suffrage. A petition to our
senators, Park Trammell and
Duncan U. Fletcher, asking them
to vote for the Woman s Suffrage
Amendment to the constitution of
the United States, was presented
to the voters for their signatures.
A similar petition was presented
to the women, as it is claimed by
some that the women of Florida
do not wish the ballot.
While the canvas was not COM
plete, owing to the shortness of
time allotted for it, yet the re-
suits were very gratifying to the
solicitors. Eighty-four men ex-
pressed themselves as favoring c.
quail rights for men and women.
One hundred and five women also
signed the petition and others
would have done so had it been
presented to them. AS far as
Punta Gorda is concerned, it
would appear that Florida women
do want the ballot and would be
glad of the opportunity to have a
voice in the making of the laws
which they must obey.-CHAIR-

Study Farming by Mail

A number of farmers availed
themselves of the opportunity to
study agricultural methods, in
Florida by attending the ten
days short courses at the Univer-
sity of Florida just closing. Many
who desired the work were unable
to attend. 1t is for these persons
that the College of Agriculture
maintains correspondence courses.
Fourteen courses are maintain
ed, covering the most important
phases Of agriculture. The inn.
portance of the courses need not
be emphasized. Farmers are con.
fronted by the necessity of feed.
ing the world. They must in.
crease the crop acreage and the
production per acre. The farmer
needs not only a thorough knowl.
edge of production, but such q
knowledge of bushes as he has
never needed before. These
courses will furnish that lznowl.
edge in part.
An inquiry addressed to the
College of Agriculture. Gaines
vile, will bring information a.
bout the courses available.
