STOCK SALESMEN MUST EXHIBIT PERMIT WHEN
 DEALING WITH PUBLIC

PHOENIX, May 9.-Stock statesmen operating in Arizona hereafter must present prospective purchasers of stock copy of the state corporation commissions permit authorizing the sale of the stock offered. This was the order issued at the office of the commission.
 The order also cancelled the re- quirement providing for the announce ment above all investment advertising matter that the corporation commits sion does not recommend the particu- lar stock offered.
 The commission also altered the rul- ing with regard to pooled stock. The new regulation reads:
 Hereafter stock held in pool sub ject to our orders will be released upon application, and showing that such release will not work an injury to the public, or to any party or parties in interest"
 The old pooled stock rule provided that there should be no release until the company had paid dividend out of earnings of not less than ' per cent on all of it's outstanding issued capital stock.
 With regard to escrowing stock, the following regulation was put in force:

LOOKING OVER BIG POWER
 PLANT PROJECT IN CANYON

Ralph H. Cameron and F.. w. Gill lett have been looking over the power project in Iceberg Canyon, in the Big Bend of the Colorado river near King man the past ten days. MT. Gillett is said to be financing this project, and the work that is now going on is under his direction. The Westinghouse peo- pie are to put in the machinery when the big dam is completed. It is said that the dam will back the waters of the Colorado as far back as Griggs' Ferry, and far up the Virgin river, to. ward St. Thomas. Four hundred feet of rise in the Colorado in the Colorado river will impound millions of acre. feet of water and the surplus of this water can be brought down onto q vast acreage of the richest lands in the world.

CHEERS FOR BEER: NEAR
 GROANS FOR NEAR BEER

MORALES, May 9.-Consternation was caused among the guarantors of the Chautauqua which opens here on Sunday for weeks engagement when it was learned that the rival attraction at the Sonora city across the line, the Cinco de Mayo celebration, had se- cured "headliner" in the form of a carload of beer. How to offset the coup of the Cinco de Mayo promoters is giving the Chautauquans concern; but the town has been thoroughly canvassed and nothing in quantity can be found except grape juice.
 Whence came the beer and whether it will be served in legitimate schoon- CTS or in blockade-runners, Sonora be- ing officially dry, has not been ascer- tained; but it is said on good report that the amber-colored cargo has come up for the big fiesta which starts at Nogales, Sonora, on the same day that the Chautauqua starts at Nogales, Arizona.
 While some of the Chautauqua guarantors see ruin staring them in the face, one of them is more philo- sophical, declaring that Chautauqua lectures will be all the more palatable with a chaser.

INCREASE IN TELEPHONE RATES WILL BE FOUGHT
 IN COURTS OF ARIZONA

PHOENIX, May 9.-Charging that the "precipitate and unlawful manner in which the telephone companies, at- tempt to inaugurate increases in rates is from any angle wholly indefensi- ble," F. F. Jones, member of the state corporation commission, announced that Assistant Attorney General Can dy had been instructed by the commits sion to forthwith apply to the court for an order restraining the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co. from collecting the increased schedule filed with the commission today.
 The new schedule provides for an average raise in business telephone rates of $10 per phone throughout the state, except at Bisbee and Douglas, where the rates are increased from $4 tol $6 a month.

READY FOR A FIGHT
 AGAINST AN INCREASE
 IN TELEPHONE RATES

PHOENIX, May 9.--The attorney generals office has prepared all the papers necessary to the obtaining of an order from the superior court re- straining the Mountain States Tele- phone and Telegraph Co. from increas- ing its rate. It was expected that H. V. McVey, Arizona representative of the corporation, would be served with the injunction soon.
 This action is in line with the stand taken by the state corporation commission in refusing to counte- nance the new schedule of tariffs filed with that body. The commission issued an order preventing the new rates, which were to be effective on May 1 from going into effect.
 The increase applies to business phones and for Tucson and Phoenix called for raise from $5 to $6 per month for single party lines and from $4 to S5 for two-party lines.
 Commissioner Jones advises the public to refuse to pay rentals on the basis of the new rates until the courts have ruled on the matter.
 McVey declares that in adopting the new rates, he is merely carrying out the instructions of Postmaster General Burleson from Washington.
 May 5 was set as the date of the hearing in the United States supre"-o court of the telephone case brought by the state of Kansas. It is expect ed that decision will be reached two or three weeks, after which will clear up many points of controversy rela- tive to the jurisdiction of state com missions governing public utilities.

MEXICAN INDIAN PLOTS
 AGAINST U. s. GOVERNMENT

PHOENIX, May G. Under the charge of having conspired with Yaqui and other Indians to massacre the whites and win back the lands of which they assert they had been rob bed, Mexican Indian, whose name is unknown to the authorities, was ar- rested on the Salt River reservation near here and is being held to answer to the federal government
 Two Pima Indians told the officers the latter stated, that the prisoner had said he was working under the orders of his chief on the Rio Yaqui in trav- cling from tribe to tribe in southern Arizona getting "brave and secretive" Indians to join in "final stand of the Southwestern tribes"
 Federal officials are inclined not to regard the arrest seriously, but since the alleged plot appears to have origi- mated in Mexico they state they are carefully Investigating the case.

Browning with success surveillance extending over period of two years, deputy sheriffs raided an alleged moonshine manufactory in the vicinity of Sycamore and brought the owner of the place, Rosindo Alverez, to Clarkdale under arrest. The raid was staged by Deputy Sheriffs Jas. Cook and J. L. Munds, assisted by Capt. Thomas Rynning.
 As evidence of the alleged activities of Alverez, the officers brought back approximately 30 gallons of highly in flammable liquid masquerading under the guise of whisky. The connection, distilled from a mixture of corn, raj sins and water, is said to affect the imbiber in much the same manner as nitro-glycerine highball might be ex- pected to perform.

In every one of these cities, the of

California Glazed Ce- ment Pipe Go. is abso- lutely trustworthy. In this company are the Bent Bros., who were contractors on large outfall sewer contract for Long Beach. Ce- ment pipe was used exclusively. The work was high class; every detail of contract was carried out to the let ter, even to the going beyond requirements in many instances where their judgment dictated the need of extra precaution. You may count yourselves fortunate in having ouch contractors, as we'll as in the selection of the glazed cement pipe manufactured by them.
