missioner yesterday against the can cellation or any change in the status of filings without being accorded a hearing.
 Commissioner Norveil held that these financial questions were matters for the consideration of a court. He all lowed the cancellation of all irrigation filings made by the Stone interests and announced that he would grant a permit for the construction of a power dam on the Bill Williams river by the Stone Consolidated Copper company. He also allowed the filing of an ap- plication by the Lotus Valley Water Users association for the construction of an irrigation dam to impound the flood waters of the Bill Williams river for the purpose of irrigation.
 From present indications the matter of the final disposition of the waters of this river undoubtedly will be car ried to the courts.

 WATER RIGHTS CASE

At a hearing yesterday before the state water commissioner, w. s. Nor viel, the filings of the Patton Rec lamation company and of the Stone Consolidated Copper company for the control of the flood waters of the Bill Williams river were in controversy.
 The case involves the disposal of run off water from the Bill Williams river sufficient, it is stated, to irrigate 100000 acres. Some time ago dissatis- faction arose among the claimants and holders of land in the Lotus valley over methods in which finances had been handled, alleged non payment of bills and other charges.
 A number of locators decided to or ganize the Lotus Valley Water Users association to protect their interests. They protested before the water com

have actually been too busy to write advertisements. Tn fact, the response to my 409o discount an- nouncement has been so great that haven't really felt the need of ad- vertising-that is, more than just keeping the sale before the public in the form of small announcements. What pleases me most about my business is that the people seem to appreciate the fact that when our store discounts merchandise it is a real discount and there are some unusual values being offered. 1t is indeed satisfaction to be able to sell good, quality merchant disc at a low price and to know that you have the confidence of your customers. I pride myself on the confidence which my friends and customers have in Hyder Brothers Store, it's merchandise, service and policies. We have played the clothing game for so many years and played it so squarely that our reputation in the Salt River Valley is firmly estab- nshed.
 There are no two ways about it. Men. young men and boys must wear clothing, the law sees to that. But that's not all-They must buy the best clothing and keep them selves looking as'nice as possible the wives. mothers and sweethearts see to that. However, the most im- portant part of clothes buying is-- to get the best clothes for the least money-and that's where Hyder Brothers come in. We absolutely, positively without any question at all, have values that can't be beat. Our quality is away up in the ali. but the price is clear down to earth
 want the people of Phoenix to get the habit. yes, I want them to get several habits. want them to buy the best clothing on the market at all times and want this clothing bought at the store which offers the best clothing at the lowest price. If people would just use their best judgment along with a. little smattering of common, ordi- nary, every day horse sense, l wouldn't have to continue my sale many days there wouldn't be enough clothing left to carry on business. However. everybody doesn't use good judgment and real horse sense isn't scattered any too thickly amongst the populace. That's why l am trying to tell you my story through the newspaper columns. I do not mean for a moment to infer that everybody who reads this article is without horse sense and good judgment but am hoping that some of those in that condition will read this and profit thereby.
 Now, my financial condition is such that I need money and I need 1t badly. I am forced to accept some orders of clothing which had hoped to return to the manu- facturers and I need cash to pay for them. I don't sell clothing for s10 down and the rest sometime. I get cash for my sales and for that reason l can price them below the prices asked by credit houses. don't have to add a certain per cent to offset ths bills which art never paid. Believe me. you are assured of a square deal and square prices at Hyder Brothers and then--you get advantage of odr years of experience in the clothing Robustness and also the noted Hydei

WILL APPEAL TO STATE
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION

KNOXVILLE Tenn, July 80 (Spl.)-
Notice has been filed with the state
equalization board by Tax Assessor
Frank L. West that he will appeal
from the assessment fixed by the
county equalization board on the prop
erty of many corporations here, and
will ask the state board to increase
these assessments.
The Knox county equalization board,
after more than a months session, dur
ing which time they heard the com
plants of property owners, reduced the
assessments on property in the city
and county as fixed by Mr.. West by
several millions of dollars.
Mr.. West claims that he is backed
by the report of the assessment on
localized property of corporations as
made here by c. X. Goodson, repre-
sentative of the state public utilities
commission, which Appropriated about
$4,000, 900. Before the county court
fixed the tax rate at 81 inside the city
limits of Knoxville, and $l.05 outside
the city, Mr.. West issued a statement
in which he claimed that a rate of
so cents would create all the revenue
the county would need, basing the claim
on the increased assessment in the
county. In this he agreed with Gov.
iRoberts in regard to the amount of
the rate.
