WHIPPLE BEATS HUM
 BOLDT BY SAFE MARGIN
(From Tuesday,

(FrOm Tuesdays Daily)f
 The Whipple ball tossers are feel ing pretty snug once more. Hum boIdt came over Sunday with a classy nine of shelter men and wanted to walk away with the honors same ao Mesa did, but Whipple decided other wise. The score gradually piled up for the khaki boys till it got to II against for the visitors.
 It was not bad game at that. and a splendid crowd enjoyed it. Th- next big game will be in Phoenix, between Whipple and PhccniN. |o" in as much as Mesa is not far from Phoenix, it may behoovc the experts from the Fort to "Looka lccdlc out
 Anyway, there are fellows who will bet that Whipple can put over evel on Mesa, and hence who's afraid oi Phoenix
 Inasmuch as the White Sox oI Phoenix took some of the starch out of the Mesa champion nine Sunday to the tune of 9'to 6 score, it may be taken as a hunch that WnipplC boys in khaki may as well put or their very fastest and ficrcest game in the Capital city next Sunday. The game will surely be worth seeing.

A PRAYER

Teach me that sixty minutes make an hour, sixteen ounces a pound, and 100 cents dollar. Help me to live So that l may lie down at night without a gun under my pi!low-un- haunted by the faces of those whom I have wronged.
 Help me to earn my meal ticket on the square and in conformance with the Golden Rule.
 Deafen me to the jingle of tainted coin-to the rustic of unholy skirts.
 May I he blind to the faults of my 'cilou s, and see my own clearly Guide me so that I may look across the dinner table at my wife and have nothing to conceal.
 Keep me young-that 1 may laugh with the children. Make me sympa- thetic-that I may be considerate oi the old.
 When comes the day of drawn shades and fragrant flowers, of quiet footsteps and hushed voices, when the wheels crunch on the gravel walk and the neighbors whisper How natural he looks"-make the ceremony short and the cpitaph simple:
 Here Lies a Man. an."-George Lee, in Popular Magazine.

RUSSIANPLAGUES DIRT, DISEASE
 AND CRIME

STANISLAU, Ukraine, May l9.- Diseases imported from Russia by the way of Kiev and Odessa are spreading to such an alarming extent that the government has closed the frontiers and closely examined civ! refugees and other former prisoners of war returning to their homes. An investigation by the International Red Cross mission shows that pos sibly twenty-five percent of the popu- 1ation of Lemberg and other centers of Old Galicia are infected by the various forms of typhus, dysentary, tuberculosis or other infectious or mental and nervous diseases.
 The conditions are considered worse here owing to closer contact with, Russia. In one hospital here are 800 cases of typhus and 600 cases of social diseases. For a population of 5,0O0,OOO there are but sixty physi- cians. Thus far six doctors have died of typhus and three others are ! ill The conditions are made wor-e by lack of soaps, disinfectants, orange of clothing and sheets. Vir- tually all the window curtains have been requisitioned for use as bed clothing, or for making women's un- derclothes.
 Of total of 250 drug stores, 20I are without drugs. In the hospitals all kinds of cases are treated in the same wards
 These diseases are spreading part ly from Russia, where 1t IS affirmed that the Red army is contaminated with social disease to the extent of seventy percent. Many diseases also were spread by Russian prisonrs who were interned in Hungary and who nave returned to Russia since the armistice was signed. Many of these were in a horrible condition When set free by the authorities and toiG to go home they crowded the trains in such numbers and under such con ditions that thousands died of hunger and illness on the way. One train load stopped here and discharged 300 dead. More than 5000 such unfortu. mates now have been buried here.
 In one week there arrived at Kiev trains freighted with 600 dead. Thc diseases are spread partly by vrn2in. Lack of food Is making conditions worse. There is no coffee. Tea costs 1 $8 q pound, bread fifty cents pound, sugar $1 a pound, and coal and soap are so high that it costs fifty cents to laundry one shirt.

ENVIRONMENTS SCOOPED OUT
 OF STORY

T. c. Walter and George Aims worth are the proudest boys in Yav- apai just now. On Sunday they came upon the trail of bear, and Mir. Walter being an Indian trailer of the old school, took up the trail and followed it all day Sunday, if nally overtaking bruin. When he was seen in the brush the boys knew they had fight on and as it was a big cinnamon, and old and unafraid.
 Ainsworth got in the first shot hitting the bear in the neck and mak- ing him mad. whereupon he jumped upon Ainsworth's horse and brought the horse and rider down. Wr. Wal ter then got in shot that was need ed badly, striking Mir. Bear behind the front shoulder and bringing him down. Another shot with a 3O-3O through the head, was the absolute finish of bruin.
 The hide was brought in and ship ped to California to be mounted, and the meat mas been jerked and is being dried. Mir. Walter says he will sel small quantities of bear jerke at z cents for each ounce. The anima weighed about one thousand pounds and was an old offender agains cattle men. At some time in his ca reer he had evidently been caught il trap, as he was shy three toes oi one front foot. The boys count i pretty lucky that the bear did no tell this story to the publishers O the Bear Town news, wherein -h' bruin tribe would gloat over two pal face scalps to be mounted, as th' fight took place in a very brush, place, where to get dead aim on ; bear in such a place was difficul and close approach very dangerous

 IN HIS VIEWS

Jack" Warden has returned from Holbrook oil country, and lis report Of conditions will prove of interest to many in this section who have be come stockholders, ill whicH ;he fol lowing companies are now in action, and he states will prove the field.
 The Hopi has been taken over by the Wind River Oil and Refining company, established in two western states. and has started 10 drill ener- getically
 The Holbrook oil Co. -spudded in on last Monday and has been fu!iy financed, all stock being withdrawn from the market
 The Adamana well. that reached a deDti of about 400 feet, will be con tinued, contract being let to Cleg- horn & Co. of Los Angeles. on G0- day basis to reach a certain depth.
 NLr. Warden views the outlook in the spirit of optimism, but is not seized with that wild -lation as to be a "boomer" until the determiIa- tions are definite. He states also the field las received the udorsment of som of the most reputable geoiogists in the country, and as yet not a single unfavorable report has been made
 Holbrook is congested with people; hotels are filled nightly, and conservative consideration prevails against agitating for a boom.

NEW DAM GOING IN AT WILLOW
 CREEK

Alr and Mrs. Paul F. Lodge gre in the city from the Alfalfa Farms company, and while Mir. Lodge is en- thusiastic as to the outlook of that reclamation project, Mrs. Lodge IS elated over the fact that the allot- ment of $4500 for that small com munity in the Victory loan drive was put up in jiffy.
 MT. Miller states that Engineer Buckingham has recently made plans for the construction of the auxiliary storage dam on Willow creek, and that work on that project will be started at once The present dam at the Dclls stores about 40OO acre feet of water, and will get from two to three filings per year, enabling them to irrigate safely about 3O0I acres. The Willow Creek storage dam will store about l4,00O acre feet and will catch and hold all the water that can be caught on average sea sons in that basin, including the over flow from Granite creek which wal be impounded.
 This addition 10 the water supply of the Farms company will greatly increase the acreage to be titled and make the proposition one of great economic importanc in this sectior of the state. The construction O this dam means an auxiliary to pros perity to Prescott, as the payroll vii be considerable and the cost will bt no mean sum. This temporary bene fit will be far outweighed however by the permanent bnefits to be de rivd from the successful farming community which will spring up a the doors of Prescott.
 Regarding the statement made bl some that silt would fill up thcs' small dams in a few years. MT. Lodge says he has talked that matter ovei with some of the leading govern ment engineers and othrs, and tha the annual fill-up of such dam i' ncglible, and is not a menace to th' proposition in any practical sense O the word.

NEW RULING NOT
 PLEASING TO MINERS
(From Tuesday's Daily.l

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 19.-Tho Arizona Gazette says:
 An oreder just asked for by the Denver district freight traffic com mittee would, if put into effect, eventually revolutionize the esta5- hshed system of handling and col lecting for the movement of all raw materials.
 Under the proposed rulings the present method of declaring valu ation" is declared to be a violation of the Cummins' act and ores are to be charged at actual valuation as disclosed by the shelter or sales re- ports-the rate to be the present rate-up to $l00 value per ton and one per cent of value in excess ot $l00 value per net ton. Thus, the established practice of releasing al values on shipments under declaTa ton of value in order to receive tho benefit of a reasonably low tonnage rate is to be eliminated and the rail IOdQ duIlllulSll U dtlOll Ol llS SuNNSoSO4 - the railroad companies, will be glver access to the financial transaction in connection with production o sales of ores or concentrates.
 The mining industry of the yves is already overburdened and threat ened with collapse and formal pro tests have been filed by the Ameri can Mining Congress, with both th, western freight traffic association and the interstate commerce commls sion against the adoption of the rul ing. A hearing was held May l1 but ore producers of the west ar, aroused and asked for a postpone ment to June l3, at which time tn evils and impractical features of tn proposed ruling may be discussed.
 It is stated that the effort to SC cure the promulgation of such revolutionary regulation through
 local district request is the begin ming of a plan to secure closer visio into the financial transactions and ( increase the railroad revenue iron all raw materials.
