ARIZONA RAILROADS GIVEN 192O VALUE
 OF S1O1,O64, ,350.O6

The total valuation of railroad prop erty In Arizona in 1920 has been placed at $lO1, ,064, ,350.06 by the state tax com mission. an increase of approximately $l.OOO.Ooo over the valuation of the same class of property in 1912.
 The greatest increase In valuation was that of the Apache Railway com pany the property in 1919 being valued at S216,000, while the valuation in year has increased to S577,600. which was explained by Rudolph Kuchler. member of the commission. to be due to the fact that a year ago the road was only partially constructed. The other most pronounced increases are in Verde Valley Railway company from $1,162. .5OO to $1,29s, ,125, and the Tucson x Nogales Railroad company from $1,273,694 to $1.66I340, both due to the increase in business. There were other smaller increases which tended to bring up the total
 The difference in mileage is slight, the mileage in 1919 being 2476.940 and this years mileage 2,477640.
 The highest valuation was placed on the Southern Pacific by the commits sion, which did not change the valua- ton of last season of s27.110.100, the mileage of the main line being given at 392.9O. The Atchison, Topeka x Santa Fe, with a mileage of 3S6.13, was valued at 26,642,970; the Fl Paso 6 rank at $9,405,1S0, with mileage of 17417.
 The railroad report was completed yesterday after investigations through travel and hearings before the com mission by railroad officials who fur nished reports. The mine valuations will be finished in the next few days, according to Mir. Kuchler, who believes that the report will be ready to be given out not later than Monday.

NOW AT THE PEAK IF
 IRRIGATION SEASON

The peak of the irrigation season was reached by the Salt River Valley Water Users association Wednesday when approximately 125,0O0 miners inches of water was distributed over the farms of the project. The canals and iaterals are being taxed to capacity to supply the huge demand for water at this time of the year when the cot ton fields are beginning to bloom. The project was built with the ob- ject in mind of providing a steady dis tribution of irrigating water through out the year. A few years ago almost as much water was used in winter as in summer, for alfalfa was then the chief crop. Now that cotton is grad ually pushing everything else off the agricultural map, the character of the project is gradually changing. Almost no water now is used during the win ter, but at this time of the year there is a tremendous call for water by cot ton growers.
 Three dredging machines are con- stantly kept working at this time to keep the canals clean and up to their capacity. Another machine is soon to be put into operation.
 F. c. Henshaw, secretary Of the as- socfation, stated yesterday that the irrigation system would continue to be heavily taxed until the next heavy rainfaH The project is gradually be- ing altered, he continued. to fit the new conditions and needs, and it will not be @3ong before these situations may be met without the feverish ac- tivity now going on.
 Despite the fact that it is being re- quired to work under capacity loads, the system is not causing any delay to the farmers in getting sufficient water.

YESTERDAY AT IA,
 HOTTEST IN 2 YEARS

Breaking the record for two years, the temperature yesterday in Phoenix reached a maximum of 114 degrees at $ D. m. The last previous time that the mercury reached that mark was on June Il, 1918. The high record for 1919 was 113.
 Needles reported a maximum of 114 yesterday and Tucson 10S, while Yuma topped the list with a maximum Of 116.
 With the thermometer steadily mounting a degree each day, many in ouiries are received at the local weather office concerning previous high records and asking many ques- tions about the method of taking the temperature. The official thermometer is placed in sort of bird house in the the rear of the federal building and is about eight feet from the ground. Fanciful stories are told concerning what the thermometer is said to record if placed in the sun, but these, declare the local weather officials, are nearly all pure romance As a matter of fact, a weather official stated yesterday, there is but little difference recorded bv a thermometer whether placed in the sun or shade. A margin of two degrees is considered very wide, he states.

AN|VULS MARRIAGE
 IF ARIZONA PIONEER

After having the case under advise ment for several weeks, Judge Lyman on Tuesday annulled the marriage of L. J. Horton, an aged Arizona pioneer, and Annie Horton, nee Crawford. The case was heard several weeks ago.
 MT. Horton brought the suit in March asking for the decree on the grounds that the marriage was illegal because 12 months had not elapsed following the defendants divorce from her first husband. He alleged he had hired Annie Crawford in June, 1918, as trained nurse and then says he loaned her S75 to secure her divorce Later, he said, she urged the wedding in order that she would secure his
 property after his death as recom- pense for her services as a nurse. After the marriage in New Mexico, he says. she spent his money, got him to sell his home and invest in a rooming house from which she drove him, he alleges, and told him never to return. In May, Mrs. Horton filed an answer and asked a divorce from him on
 grounds of cruelty. She stated that in event she had been mistaken and their
 marriage was not legal, then she should be entitled to $1,Ss5.e2 as pay ! for her services during the time she 1 lived with MT. Horton as his wife. She also alleged that he had threat ened to kill her and that he drove her from their home. Her petition was de- nied by Judge Lyman.

Many good men are worrying their fool heads off about this transporta- ton problem. What with car short ages, rate increases, wage boosts. tie- ups, congestion, etc, etc, they are all tangled up. The result is you don't know whether you're coming or going Most likely you are doing neither.
 Which isn't as it should be.
 Human animals were made to move about.
 Man has to be on the go-or the come. And woman is just like that, too.

Before baby gets through the crawl ing era he has a kiddiekar.
 Then mother never knows where to find the baby. Maybe he's down the block beating it for the outside world. and maybe he's pushing himself in front of a street car.
 But if he didn't have something to ride around on he'd be unhappy.
 So pa buys him a velocipede, off Of which baby manages to fall often enough to please his little heart And the kid looks about for other worlds to conquer. Something different.

 On the other hand National Committeeman Me- Bride, Mr Beegle, MT. Lomen, MT. Hazelet, and MT Marquam the Republican Territorial Committeeman, will be in Alaska and most of the time, working at their regular vacations of affairs. Under the circumstances it is among the mpossibties that Wickersham his would be able to ursurp the duties of the organization in Alaska and to undo fine piece of work the Republicans of Alaska did their primary election. .+' t
 The only way to make of the, freedom of Alaska fren Wckersham and to make certain of permafen Republican control of the Republican Party in Alaska will be to defeat Wiekershams man Sutherland at the polls November. That will put WickeFsha down and out for good and all in Alaska. He would then go back to his Tacoma home and let the people of Alaska develop their Territory in peace.

OPTIMISM AT HAYNES.

The optimism expressed at the noon day luncheon of the Juneau Commercial Association the Alaska Grill yesterday by MT Hansen and MT Banta of Hanes is refreshing to the people of this community. That IIaines is endowed with d great wealth of natural resources has been long known by all who live here and in this section of Alaska. That they are being developed and that greater prosperity iJ coming Haines a result of the development Is very gratifying the people of Juneau It is gratify- ing only because better times in prospect are actually here for very deserving Aaskans who live al that place, but because what helps any particular part Alaska aids those of all sections of the Ter ritory. aines is distant from Juneau but that she may in truth be called tributary to this place. Therefore, Juneau has particular interest in her development and that of her neighborhood
 It is fair say, in this connection. that the Juneau Commercial Association has never been small in its attitude toward other Alaska communities nor the people Juneau This city works for Alaska railroad and road appropriations to be ex- pended in other of Alaska with the same sort Of enthusiasm the spirit that she works for herself She has done that for years and she has earned good will of the whole Territory for that reason.

generally very greatly interested in. Alaska and her welfare Seattle is ready to come to the this Territory whenever shown that her aid will help She has done many times and she will do so again and again
 J. L. McPherson, who is maintained as Manag ger of the Alaska Bureau by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, is very able and the best informed men Alaska and Alaskan matters in the country and he is working intelgenty, honestly and with tremendous energy for Alaska and her welfare With him Alaska comes frst-before Seattle even, where he gets support for his work
 That the Seattle Chamber of Comerce realizes it is working for Seattle when it works for Alaska goes without saying, but there is sefshness in the work It is public spirited service such as animates the people of any live community to main tain commercial organization work for commun- ity advancement. They work for common advance ment and depend the general results for indi- vidua profit. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the Alaska Bureau work for the advancement of Alaska and depend upon the growth prosperity this Territory for legitimate returns to their con- munity for the cost in money and energy they are expendng.

He has demon strated that matter which party may control the Eex House Alaska will have real representative and one capable of doing actual good in the solution or Alaskan problems and the development of the Terri tory if MT Grigsby is returned He has proved him self to be great big Alaskan with big brain and broad viewpoint who is not capable of doing little things He is large enough and honest enough to rep resent all sections and all parts.
