REV. SANDERS ON
TEMPORARY LEAVE

Rev. Sanders preached at the Meth
odist church last Sunday night AT.
ter one CT his most excellent sermons.
he announced that he had requested
the Presiding Elder and the Bishop
to permit him to leave Ray for a
couple Of months, owing to his iii
health.
The Rev Scarborough, presiding
elder for this district in Arizona, was
present and presented the situation to
the congregation and members Of the
church and asked that they vote upon
the matter.
The congregation and members
were unanimous in their belief that
the Rev. Sanders should be permitted
to go and endeavor to obtain his for
mer health, but expressed their un-
Willingness to lose to such an ardent
worker and excellent pastor 1t was
finally decided that the Rev. Sanders
should take his vacation for at least
wv AioiiihoJ d1tCl WIICtly IL Ht lGll
as though he could, he was to return
to Ray, at the special request OF the
Ray people.
Mr.. Sanders has made a remarkable
record since he came to Ray and it
is with regret on the part of the
church going people and some that
dnr't
him.
The Sunday school, which is an i'm
portant factor in every community,
has been worked up from practically
nothing TO an average of nearly one
hundred pupils. Even during the hot
test weather, there has been no less
than seventy-fve and on August 10th
the hottest day Of the season, there
were 76.
In addition to that, he has succeed
ed by his untiring efforts in raising
the money to clear the indebtedness
from the church.
Rev. Fl. M. DuBose, Bishop, and
one of the best known men in church
affairs, will be in Ray on Sunday,
September 81, to dedicate the Metho-
dist church. Rev. Scarborough will
also reach Ray at the same time, but
the Bishop will conduct services on
Sunday, the 21st
The absence of Rev. Sanders from
Ray during the next two months will
make no difference in the holding of
services. Rev. Scarborough will take
the pulpit on all but three Sundays,
and on such occasions as he may not
be able to reach Ray, he will see that
an excellent substitute comes and
takes care of the services.
Prayer meetings will be conducted
as usual, every Thursday evening at
8 p. M The subject for discussion this
week will be the 18th Chapter of Rev.
elations.
Everyone is cordially invited to at
tend services at the Methodist
church.

cording to the federal crop report is
sued today by l.. M. Harrison, field
agent for the bureau of crop esti-
mates.
Preliminary estimates of Arizona
wheat production place this years
crop at 1.120,000 bushels. This com
pares with 988,OOO bushels last year,
and $4,000 bushels two years ago.
Forecasts of other Arizona crops
based on August 1 conditions We're
announced as follows:
Corn, 1,25S.0OO bushels; oats, 542,-
800 bushels; barley, 1904 900 bushels;

100000 more than last years crop.
The spring wheat crop promises

Robert o. Boykin, who conducts a
trading post on the Papago reserva,

spare time he can get by making
tours Of investigation Of the practi-
cally unexplored country south of his
place and north of the Mexican line.
Recently he discovered we'll defined
steps leading to cave up the side
of a canyon and upon exploring the
cavern found the skeleton of wo-
man, the hair upon the skull of the
skeleton was fine and blonde. Rem
nants of clothing found upon the wo-
men, and other skeletons, indicated
that the dwellers in the cave were of
some other tribe than the present In
dians on the reservation-the Papa
goes-and Mr.. Boykin states that the
Indians confirmed this opinion. They
have a legend coming down through
the centuries, which tells of a strange
tribe of people with blue eyes and
light hair who inhabited this land be-
fore their ancestors came and con-
quered them in battle. The walls of
the cave are covered with writings
similar to Chinese in character.

metal and stocks have lost almost

HINES REFUSAL
MAY RAISE ISSUE
Steel Men Declare Price Re-

Director Hines refusal 10 accept
the new steel prices created a situa-
ton which was the outstanding
point Of interest this week.
steel men declare they cannot re-
duce prices farther without reducing
wages. This would inevitably lead
TO wage reductions throughout the
length and breadth OF industry. Mr.
Hines affirms the contrary. Mean
time, steel orders. foreign as well as
domestic, are held in allegiance. fol-
lowing a temporary period OF slim
ulation The navy department has
not yet committed itself. The ship

The very life and purpose OF the
industrial board is now in jeopardy
If it fails to enlist government sup
port it loses all power TO affect in
dustry. Some writer's hint that arti-
fetal reduction and sterilization Of
prices is futile, and urge giving the
law Of supply and demand free play
in a wide-ouen market. However
that may be, assuming that neither
Mr.. Hines nor the steel men recede
from their positions. the sole alter
native involves a reduction of wages
simultaneous with the reduction IN
basic comm ODDITIES, and months prior
to that reduction in living toward
which the laboring man has reso-
lutely set his face. The situation is
critical.
Bushes interests now find them
selves more drawn TO the RedfeId
plan than repealed by il, for while
seeking lower prices. il protects
against the sharp reduction Mr..
Hines demands. or the price-cutting
that might result from open CONNIE

can extend its influence. even with
