NEWSPAPER FINDS
 MISSING RELATIVE

Sometimes one has to go away from home to get the news. A few days ago there was published in each one of the Phoenix daily papers an in- quiry concerning a man by the name of Bourne, who was supposed to be in town or expected to arrive here soon. There was an accompanying request that state papers copy. The inquiry was made on behalf of Mrs. West, a daughter of Bourne.
 Among the papers complying with the request was the Casa Grande Bull letin. It happened that Bourne was in Phoenix at that time. A day or two later when the inquiry was re- produced in the Bulletin, some man saw it, and happening to meet Bourne, informed him of it. Bourne evidently supposed that the inquiry had origi- mated there, and accordingly he drove to Casa Grande.
 Ted Healey, the owner of the Bull letin. is feeling pretty cocl1y about Us. incident, and is making it the basis Of claim that his paper is a better ad- vertising medium in Phoenix than both daily apers.

NEED MORE HELP TO REPAIR CANAL BEFORE APRIL 1
Engineer Says Valley Loss Will Be Great Unless Emergency Force Doubled at Once

Unless the number of men and work stock at present employed in the task of by-passing the water of the Consol- dated canal beyond the break caused by the flood of February If is doubled at once, the valley will suffer a loss of several million dollars, declared l.. c. Hill, former project manager of the Salt River Valley project yesterday.
 MT. Hill is now consulting engineer for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., and also for the United States govern ment. At the request of the Goodyear company he came from California and spent yesterday in company with a group of engineers consisting of w. Fl. Code, F. A. McPherson, John Gran vile and T. H. Hatton, inspecting the emergency repair work now underway on the Consolidated canal.

DON'T INSURE WORK
ERS

New York-The failure of employ
ers in this state to insure workers has
aroused the New York industrial com
mission and employers are threatened
with prosecution. 1t is stated that the
employers neglect results in almost
1000 cases a year where awards to
widows and children of workers killed
end to workers manned and injured
in industrial accidents have to be sent
to counsel for collection. Many of
Il ese awards are uncollectable be-
cause the employer is financially IL
responsible and the compensation law,
which the workers have relied on for
protection, is ineffective in these
cases.
