STATE LAND BOARD TO LOAN l75,00O 10 CON-
 PLETE LYMAN DAM

The state land board, composed of the governor, the secretary of state and the state treasurer has practically agreed to loan $185 ,000 from the state treasury for the purpose of complet- ing the Lyman dam project. All mem- bers have signified their willingness to vote for the loan and it is probable that only the formal action remains to be taken.
 The contemplated loan is the third and the largest ever made by the state in furtherance of this project located on the Little Colorado river, near St. Johns. The first loan was negotiated by the loan board of the former administration composed of Governor Hunt, Secretary of State Osborne and D. F.Johnson as state treasurer. The sum of $120,OO0 was put up at that time. In March of this year it became evident that the work of constructing the dam would have to be stopped unless further funds were forthcoming from the state, and rather than see the set tiers under the project lose their all, the state land board voted another $100,000 to complete the unfinished work. Now comes the application for a third loan of $1S5,OO0. According to engineers this is the amount that will be required to finish the project Increasing cost of labor and material combined with an epidemic of typhoid last summer ran up the original esti- mates, it is claimed, and accounts for the fact that the second loan did not reach as far as expected.

PREDICTS CHEAPER
 RATES 10, ARIZONA

Returning with predictions that the long fight waged by the interior west for equitable west-bound freight rates will come to a victorious conclusion in the immediate future, and that one of the most important steps ever taken for the commercial development of the country. F. A. Jones of the state cor poration commission is back from his trip to Salt Lake City where he was in attendance with the Intermountain Rates association at five-day hear ing by the Interstate Railroad com mission.
 Although the commission will not announce the result of that hearing at once, because of following out it's us- ual course of deliberative procedure, MT. Jones does ont hesitate in saying that from everything he could gather in the hearing it is foregone con clusion that the commission has taken favorable view and that the people can expect it's favorable announcement in due time.
 The granting of equitable west bound rates, MT. Jones says, will re- move the tremendous commercial dis crimination that has existed in favor of the Pacific coast terminals since the early years of western railroading, and will occasion the establishment of great manufacturing concerns in Phoenix and other interior places that could never be obtained in any other way.
 Commissioner Jones has bee npresi- dent of the Intermountain Rate asso- citation since it's organization eight years ago, during all of which time he has worked interminably to end the unfair discrimination which the coast ports have enjoyed for so long and on which they have waxed so fat.
 Faced Opposition
 The hearing was before Chief Ex- aminer, J. w. Thurtell of the Inter- state Commerce commission. Repre- sentatives were present from San Francisco, Seattle, Tacoma, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Omaha, to protest any change in the existing rates. Among those leading the fight for the change were representatives from Spokane and Reno, those two cities being lined up with Phoenix.
 Evidence was produced to show that Secretary McAdoo ,director-general of the United States railway admins tration during the war had stated for an interview published in Spokane that the western cities were entitled to graded rates. The evidence was given by a Spokane newspaperman who had written the interview with McAdoo, the newspaperman being subpoenaed from Spokane to give his testimony direct.
 MT. Jones says the graded rate plan has been worked out thoroughly by the Intermountain Rate Association, the most exhaustive study having been accorded it, and that it is his firm and final belief that there is no dynamite" comeback" or other un- pleasant features contained therein.

FIFTEEN SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED FOR LACK OF
 SUFFICIENT TEACHERS

Fifteen schools in the state of Ari- zona are shutdown for this year and for all of next year ,and the outlook is certain for more of them to go out of business immediately after the exam nations that are due December 1 and 2, all because the teachers no longer can keep body and soul together on the salaries that are paid according to an nouncement last night by c. o. Case, state superintendent of schools.
 The situation is the most serious condition the schools have faced dur ing the history of the state, the super intendent says, and the public appears to be showing no interest in what is going on. Many of the best teachers in the state are leaving. for outside positions, many others are quitting the work entirely for better-paid positions to which their high attainments fit them, and practically no new material is coming in.
 May Be Short of Funds
 As large part of the school funds is based upon the per capita attendance during the preceding year, the super intendent said, the 15 schools that were shut down this year for lack of teachers will have no funds for next year.
 Something must be done and done quickly" he continued, Cor Arizona's school rating among the states will be so low that prospective residents will stay away"
 In some counties special taxes have been levied to provide salaries more nearly adequate. Any of the school districts, according to the superin- tendent may raise salaries all they want to but they are held down to a limited amount of money. As way out of the present predicament, he says, the districts can take a chance on getting more money and start the next term with larger salaries.
 More money could be provided for in the next budget, if the state board of education so willed, Case said, and the additional amount might shock the taxpayers. At present, he said, the situation calls for the most earnest attention by all the thinking people of the state.

ADDITIONAL RULINGS ON RE |NSTATEMENT
 WAR RISK INSURANCE

A series of decisions issued by the Director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury provides more liberal conditions for reinstate- ment of lapsed or cancelled insurance.
 The provisions of Treasury Decision No. AT, allowing eighteen months from the date of discharge for reinstate- ment upon payment of only two . months premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, are retain ed. That decision is liberalized, how ever, by a new provision that men out of the service are permitted to reinstate by. merely paying the two months premiums without state ment as to health at any time within three calendar months following the month of discharge.
 After the three months following the date of discharge have elapsed, a statement from the applicant to the effect that he is in as good health as at the date of discharge or at the expiration of the grace period, which ever is the later date, will be requir- ed together with a written applica- tiOn for reinstatement and the tender of two months premiums on the amount of insurance he wishes to rein state.
 In order to give all former service men whose insurance has lapsed or been cancelled, a fair chance to rein state their insurance, including men who have been out of the service eigh- teen months or more, and who are therefore barred from reinstatement under the former ruling, a special blanket ruling is made which allows all x-service men to reinstate their in- surance before December 31, 1919, provided that each applicant is in as good health as at date of discharge or at expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so states in his application. Of course it is necessary that he tender the two months premiums on the amount ot insurance he wishes to reinstate.
 OeIVlCe HIGH WHO IClASIASSu thNAA insurance by payment of all back premiums prior to July 25, 1919, whea the decision requiring payment of only two months premiums went into ef- feet, upon written application to the Bureau may have any premiums paid in excess of two applied toward the payment of future premiums. For example, if after a policy had lapsed for six months, man reinstated and paid six months premiums instead of two, he may secure credit for four months premiums.
 The provisions for reinstatement do not protect man until he actually reinstates. If he waits he may not be in as good health as he was at the time of discharge and consequently may not be able to secure reinstate- ment.
 Don't put off reinstatement. Do it now! 5I

GIRLS STAGE FAKE TYING
 AND CACCINC TO GET TRIP

Rather than be deprived of trip to Canada, Tucson girl endeavored to jeopardize her character in the eyes of her parents in the hope that they would be glad to get rid of her.
 Last week a man came to the police with a letter which was sent him in which it was stated that his daughter was bound and gagged in the ticket office at the fair grounds. Chief Bailey investigated the matter and found girl about 16 years old, tied down with rope and gag plac- ed over her mouth. As the entire thing appeared to be rather amateur ish, the police and sheriff's depart ment did little detective work and this is what they developed:
 The girls aunt, who lives in Can ada, shortly is expected to visit m Tucson. The aunt wants to take the girl back home with her, and the girl is very anxious to go. The parents however, object.
 This complication the girl attempt ed to overcome. Together with chum she secured some rope and the two girls journeyed out to the fair ground. The chum then put the girl in the ticket office and bound her tightly with some rope. Then the chum came to the Western Union Telegraph of- flee, wrote a note to the girls broth CT in which she stated that the girl could be found bound and gagged in the ticket office at the fair grounds, and warned the brother to bring five good fighting men with him. She said the writer of the note was one of the gang and there were four oth- CTS. The not was signed "P. B."
 When the officers arrived the girl told them that four Mexicans had come to her home that afternoon and asked for some rope. She said she got it for them and they forced her to walk out to the fair grounds with them and there they bound her.
 The police were not satisfied with the story and started to work up the case. They found that the girls chum had written the note at the Western Union office, and given a taxi driver $1 to deliver it.
 The girl was confronted with this evidence, and while she refused to make any statement to the police, she confessed the entire scheme to her mother.
