WATER USERS ASK
 QUESTIONS IF THE
 HIGHWAY COMMISSION

The board of governors of the Water Users association, in whose hands now lies the fate of the county highway commissions proposal that the associas ton buy and operate a cement plant for the mutual benefit of the two or ganizauons, has asked some definite questions about the project they are asked to undertake, in a letter written Tuesday by Dr. Charles A. Van der, Veer, secretary of the Water Users association, to Eugene Hackett, chair man of the highway commission.
 Three questions are asked, in effect. What is the condition of the Phoenix Portland Cement company's mill which the association is asked to buy and what can be said by experts regarding the deposits of cement materials on the Agua F'ria river? For how much money can the association secure an option on l the purchase of the plant? How much i cement will the highway commission | guarantee to buy from the Water Users association if the latter organ | ization accedes and engages in the manufacture of cement?
 Following is the text of the letter written by Dr. Van der Veer to the county highway commission
 July P, 1919. MT. Eugene Hackett,
 Chairman, Maricopa County Highway Commission,
 City.
 Dear Sir:
 The board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users association at their regular meeting on July 21, directed me to write you requesting the i submission to the board of all the available data you have regarding the proposed manufacture of cement by the association in order that the board may act intelligently in submitting the question to the shareholders for their action.
 The board requests that you furnish the reports of cement experts as to the mill of the Phoenix Portland Cement company and also as to the deposit of cement materials on the Agua Fria | river
 Also the board requests from you a definite proposal as to the purchase of the cement mill mentioned above with reference to the proposed option for it's purchase
 The Board also requests the submis- sion of a definite proposition from the Marlcopa county highway commission as to the prospective use by such con- mission of cement for the building of county roads, should the association engage in it's manufacture.
 Your early attention will greatly helr the board in it's contemplated inyesti- gation of these questions prior to its submission to the shareholders.
 Very truly yours.
 CHARLES A. VAN DER VEER,
 Secretary

REPORTS MOHAvE |S
 BOOMING BUT BOOZE
 BUSINESS O|V WAVE

Sheriff W. P. Mahoney of Mohave county was in the city yesterday, as an escort to citizen who had been committed to the hospital for the in sane. The victim was sufferer from the flu" As in several other cases from that part of the country, insanity was sequel Of the disease.
 But, said the sheriff, ali the people of Mohave have not gone crazy; they were never better mentally, physically and financially than they are now. More work is going on in the mines than ever before-gold silver, copper and lead. The gold mines of Mohave are the richest on the continent.
 Since Sheriff Mahoney took hold there has been a lessening of bootleg ging through that county, which had been previous to that the bootleggers chief highway, the camino real. Prob ably more whisky crossed Mohave than any other subdivision of a dry state ir the United States. Bootlegging hac been reduced to an establishde indus try. There was even a bootleggers union.
 But all that has been changed. The stuff the sheriff has captured would equip a distillery, and many man 1T Phoenix and Prescott has gone dry 1T consequence of his activities.
 Four carloads have been intercepted by the sheriff and his deputies durin. | the present month, which has a weel yet to run.

lation of the right of the state to con- trol and regulate the taking of game within it's territorial limits. Hence no man who is not an Indian maintain ing tribal relations and occupying a reservation, can hunt or take game within the limits of an Indian reserva- ton without having a license from the state. It might be well to state in this connection that the United States IS the proprietor of the land within the reservation, and as such proprietor, the consent of the United States must be given in addition to a state license before one has the right to hunt and fish within the reservation.
 The opinion was written at the re- quest of State Game Warden Joe V, Prochaska- and brings in an interest ing sidelight as to the ownership of the carcass of an animal killed illegally or out of season on a reservation.
 Mcbride states that the ownership vests in the state. and as Prochaska is | the custodian of all game in Arizona it belongs to him and it is up to him to dispose of it, except that he cannot do so so as to deprive the state of it's use and benefit. Outside of that | it is going to be perfectly easy for Pro- chaska to take care of all carcasses found killed illegally. How is he going to dispose of the carcass so as to gair some use or benefit from them for the | state is a Inotty problem which it vii l probably take the rest of the summer | to solve, and will probably call for an other opinion from the states lega l department, according to local hunter:
 who are in the habit of disposing o
 carcasses to their own benefit

RANCHERS TAKE UP YUMA ROAD QUESTION

The ever-present question of roads when and where they will be con- structed-was discussed from every angle at a meeting of 50 ranchers of the Yuma road section at the Fowler school house last Tuesday night. The meeting ended in the drawing up of a petition to show why the Yuma road should be the first road to be con- structed west of Phoenix
 The meeting was presided over by John R. Norton. with Jerry Irvine acting as secretary, and the number of men who attended was ample proof of the interest taken in the good road question for the district west of Phoe- nix. Practically all the ranchers were from the Yuma road, and this road was the main topic of discussion through out the meeting.
 The most important result the ses- sion produced was the petition to show why. of the roads to be paved west of Phoenix, the Yuma road should be the first. Contained in the document were multitude of reasons to prove that the Yuma road is the logical one

When the train passed through Tucson, Deputy Holloway boarded it and after a search came to her berth and ordered her to get up and dress. She claims in her petition that he ac- companied her to the dressing room ana forced her to df eSS Tn ms presence, much to her humiliation and discom- fort
 The petition alleges the deputy in formed her she had stolen a large sum of money in Phoenix and that he was arresting her under orders or the sher- if of Maricopa county She claims she showed him her marriage license and the wire which she had received ! from TnY9S hp cd her.
 She also alleges that while she was dressing, he went through her personal effects, many of which were not in- tended for public inspection. Later she was taken from the train at Ben son, she claims. and after being de- tained for F hours, allowed her lib- erty and told to proceed on her journey

ARRAIGN YOUNG MAN
 ON MURDER CHARGE

"Chomacho" or F'ilipe Solice, the young man charged with the brutal murder and robbery of fellow work man on a ranch near Glendale, will be given a preliminary hearing before Justice Wheeler tomorrow. Solice takes his situation cooly, protesting his innocence, but in such a way as not to lend conviction, according to officers.
 When he was arraigned and the ac- cusation was read to him he remarked with a grin that whole lot of papers had been read to him lately; that he was not greatly interested in the vari- ous documents for he had done noth- ing. He was asked if he desired to be represented by counsel He replied that there was no need of it for he had done nothing.
