Thrust Upon Conference.

These were not tasks which the
conference looked about to find and
went out of it's way to perform. They
were inseparable from the settlements
of peace. They were thrust upon it
by circumstances which could not be
overlooked. The war had created
them. In all quarters of the world
old established relationships had been
disturbed or broken and affairs were
at loose ends, needing to be mended
or united again, but could not be made
what they were before. They had to
be set right by applying some uniform
principle of justice or enlightened ex-
pediency. And they could not be adj
justed by merely prescribing in a
treaty what should be done.
New states were to he set up which
could not hope to live through their
first period of weakness without as
sured support by the great nations
that had consented to their creation
and won for them their independence.
nl-governed colonies could not be put
in the hands of governments which
were to act as trustees for their peo-
pie, and not as their masters, If there
was to be no common authority among
the nations to which they were to be
responsible in the execution of their
trusts.
Future international conventions
with regard to the control of water
ways, with regard to Illicit traffic Of
many kinds, in arms or in deadly
drugs or with regard to the adjust

administrative arrangements could
not be assured If the treaty were to
provide no permanent common inter-
national agency If its execution in
such matters was to be left to the
slow and uncertain processes of CO.
operation by ordinary methods of ne
gotiation.

mill on the Fort Apache road, by William Ryan who was returning from a trip to his ranch.
 The young men started from Colo rado several months. ago, making the trip to the White mountains with a small burro team, carrying few pro visions and a camping outfit. When they reached the Black river they became exhausted, and unable to travel further they camped along the roadway, hoping against hope that some tourist might pick them up.
 MT. Ryan stopped his car when he noticed the young men, and after as certaining their condition he brought one of the men to town and left the other in care of the camp. Deputy United States Marshal Haynes and Deputy Sheriff Karrick left for the mountains late Tuesday night and brought the other sufferer to the county hospital. When they reached the hospital the man was hardly able to breathe and his recovery is thought doubtful. He gave his name as H. E. Tieman and his home Denver, Colo rado. The name of the other unfor- tunate could not be learned last night.
 Tieman's condition was somewhat improved last night, but the long journey and his weakened condition increased the tortures of the dread disease,

RAINS WERE HEAVY
 THROUGHOUT STATE

PHOENIX, Sept. 6.-Further re- ports on rains throughout the state during the past week have been made to the local weather bureau. Flagstaff had .22 inch, Tucson .5S inch, and Yuma .56 inch. Phoenix had .61 inch, all on the same day.
 Feed is reported drying in the northeastern quarter of Arizona and on the Apache reservation, but in all sections of western New Mexico and Arizona stock is still in excellent shape.
 The week was a favorable one for agricultural interests. Good progress was made in the harvesting of corn, hay, alfalfa and fruit. Insect pests on the Apache reservation destroyed the been crop, but corn and hay are reported yielding well.
 Tn the Salt River valley the rain on the 30th will add to the damage to cotton, already reported at nearly half million dollars as result of the rain and hail storm on the 23rd of August. If fair farm weather con tinues, however, the additional loss will not be great.
