ORDER |S SIGNED TO
 GO AHEAD WITH HE
 YUMA MESA PROJECT

The reclamation service is to go ahead immediately with the sale and improvement of the Yuma Mesa proj- ect, according to an announcement made here today by State Senator Null ford Winsor of Yuma, who has re- gently returned from a six weeks stay in Washington in the interest of this project.
 Secretary Franklin D. Lane signed the order to go ahead with the project while I was in Washington said Sen ator Winsor, @and from the first sale has been set for December 10 The land has been subdivided, and will be sold by means of sealed bids for the land and the water right. to be opened on that date. The law under which this will be done was passed in 1917, but it's operation has been held up by the war Now we will go ahead
 T regard the Yuma mesa as the best citrus fruit land in the world, bar none" continued the senator The project is divided into sections A B. c. and D. Section B, the land and the water rights, will be offered for sale first. A large part of section A is privately owned, and we are now or ganizing an irrigation district, for the purpose of issuing bonds, and with the proceeds paying the government for the water rights and giving ourselves more time to pay out.
 The land to be sold has been divided into tracts of from one to 20 acres. In my opinion it will sell for about S256 an acre, and will be worth $500 in two years.
 'The irrigation is to be done from canals to which the water will be lifted from the main Yuma canal by pump ing plants, operated by the government on it's own power
 Bidders on tracts win be required to deposit 10 per cent of the bid with their offer. pay 15 per cent more in 50 days if their bid is accepted, and the remain der in three annual payments. The first tract to be sold includes about 12,000 acres. and the furthest point in the tract is about seven or eight miles from Yuma.
 The entire section is to be improved with bouleyards, of which the county is preparing to build IT miles. There is a total of 45,000 acres in the project which is to be improved by virtue of the Yuma Mesa Auxiliary Project act passed two years ago. and now just set in operation by the order of Secretary Lane. There will be no expenses to the government, the cost will be derived from the sale of the land and the water rights"

MAKE B|G PLANS FOR
 LABOR DAY PICNIC 1T MORLEY'S MONDAY

Tomorrow the big Labor day picnic will take place at Morley's. This is the one day in the year when organized labor comes into it's own. and nothing has been left undone by the various committees to make the picnic one of the biggest events in the history of local organized labor. This is the only official Labor day picnic within the vii cinity of Phoenix given under the aus pices Of the central labor union. Danc- ing all afternoon and evening, music by one of the best orchestras playing dance music that ever has played in any place of public amusement in Phoenix And there is the big pool, the only soft water plunge in the state of Arizona The merry go o-round will run all day, and so many applications have been made for concessions that we hardly know what to do with them all and still leave room for the vast crowd. Transportation to and from the park on the street cars to the asylum where plenty of big busses will meet you and carry you to Morleys for five cents.
 Tonight is regular carnival night at Morleys.

First Mail from Los Angeles Week Due Here Today Normal Service Resumed -IsolatedWeek a Stren- uous One.

With the railroad strike in California at last broken. full mail service be- tween Phoenix and the coast will be restored by tonight. This was an- nounced yesterday by Assistant Post master Lee R. Callahan.
 At the same time, and possibly a little before, full mail service to and from the east will be re-established, placing this city back in normal com munication with tine rest of the eoun- try
 With the full operation of trains re stunned in Arizona and California, after weeks tie-up by strikes in the coast state, yesterday and today mark the end of one of the strangest expefi- ences Phoenix has yet undergone. For a full week. since last Sunday, no mail has been received from or sent to the coast from this city Stub trains, however, kept the city in eommuniea- ton with the northern and southern parts of Arizona, and connected with eastern trains, so that one mail a day was received each day from the east and one sent out for the east.

B|C PROGRAM TO-DAY
 1T RIVERSIDE PARK

The program at Riverside for today includes a day of clean fun and amuse- ment amid the inviting surroundings of that popular outdoor amusement center.
 There will be several events staged in and around the big plunge, which will embrace races of all kinds handi- capped events, swimming exhibitions, and diving contests These weekly rAcing events create any amount of in terest especially among the younger general tion, and they have developed much swimming talent during the season. Swimming is one of the most healthful of sports and exercise, and when it is encouraged through the con- tests staged each week, it's success be- comes an assured fact.
 This is the last day in which the public will be gvien 8 chance to see Ad. Wolgast. He finishes up his work at the Park this afternoon. Wolgast is going fine. and his final training days arc marked with extreme speed, fast shadow work, and fast boxing exhibi- tions.
 The band concert will as usual be given this afternoon at 5:S0
 The program for Labor day will by far eclipse anything of a similar nature ever attempted in Arizona. Daylight fireworks races, children's events, boys and girls track meet, boys races. girls races. and many athletic stunts have been arranged which will delight the crowds on hand to enjoy the day. The Gazette marathon race promises to be the big event in the afternoon, for this will be the first race of this nature ever staged in this city. The interest is ex- tremely high. and the race should de- velop many features. It will be over a course through the city covering the principal streets and the public will doubtless be along the line to watch the youthful aspirants as they struggle for the title of the champion long distance runner of the state

from these two mails q day the city was practically isolated, except by tel egraph and telephone.
 Was Hard on Vacationists
 The situation was all the more dis commoding on account of the large number of Phoenix people marooned on the cast by the rail tie-up. Naca- tionists on the coast found themselves in the awkward position of having no way to get back to Phoenix-and many of them were due back last week Moreover. they could not communicate with their homes here except by wire and it is rumored the telegraph and telephone companies did very good business in this way. A goodly mum Der of vacationists forced to remain on the coast longer than they intended had to draw funds by wire from here.
 Those people who had to get back to Phoenx were forced to come by motor car. and a number of strenuous trips of this kind were made. Motor trucks were also pressed into service to transport motion picture films to Arizona theaters from Los Angeles, and if the tie-up had continued much longer motor truck mail service would have been established. In fact. one motor truck load of mail was dis patched Friday morning to connect with a Los Angeles mail truck service at Blythe, California This truck load of mail was the first to get through to the coast in a week.
 Lots of Mail on Way Here
 With the resumption of mail service by train yesterday, great quantities Of coast-bound mail from Phoenix began moving on west from Yuma. During the week the mail was sent as far as the border city by train from here, but it was all held up at Yuma for lack of transportation on to Fl Centro, where it could have connected with Los Angeles truck service.
 Similarly, large quantities of mail from the coast, bound for Phoenix and other Arizona cities, is reported to be moving this way from Blythe and other California cities, where it was sent by truck and has been accumu- lating all during the week.
 The first regular shipment of mail for the coast was made by train from here yesterday, and regular service will be maintained from now on. The first mail from the coast will arrive today, and although the service is much congested, little time will be lost in handling it at the local end.
 No mail will be handled tomorrow the postoffice being closed all day Labor Day.

 Reports from High Schools, Col leges, and Universities indicate that they will be filled to capacity at the beginning of their Fall Terms. This means that the Business Colleges will also be filled. Many schools have been obliged to employ new and inexperienced teachers. and in some other ways they are pla ed at disadvantage. The Lamson Busi- ness College has reemployed all of the regular teachers of last year, but it is limited in capacity.
 We have room for 1sO studel $ at time. We have enrolled 56 incs the first of July. Many of -hese will be ready for positions early in September or October. This leaves room for about 100 new students. We wish to fill our rooms at the opening of the Fall Term, and then take in new students only as the others finish the course.

RALElGH'S TOMB NOT KNOWN
Considerable Uncertainty as TO
Where BODY Of Great EoJlishman
Was Finally Laid.

English newspapers have been en-
gagged in a controversy as to the
location of the burial place of Sir
Walter Raleigh in connection with
the celebration of the three hum
dredth anniversary of his birth. BIZ
ograPhers of Raleigh supposed that,
after his execution, the body was
buried in the chancel of st. Mar
%garet's.
The London Times, however, sug-
gests that his body was placed there
for a short time only, and that RAJ
leigh really was buried at Bedding
ton, in Surrey, where the widow de-
sired that he should rest. Raleigh's
head was embalmed and cherished
by his widow in a "red Ieathern
bagge" to the day Of her death. The
head was afterward inferred in the
church at West HOrsley, in Surrey.

manner in which large industries
are learning to utilize waste mate

Of a large beet-sugar concern. The
beet pulp which formerly was

ceipts from which in the last year
we're sufficient to pay the dividend

pany.
At a cost of $4,000 a plant has
been erected which is to eytrac, pot
ash, ammonia, etc, from the water
heretofore allowed to flow into the
ocean as waste. 1t is expected the
plant will pay for itself the first
