BANK AT SNOWFLAKE
 CLOSED LAST WEEK

Another business institution fell victim to the stringency of the times when the Bank of Northern Arizona of Snowflake temporarily closed its doors Friday morning at 9 o'clock.
 Due to the lack of cattle and wool sales this season and the general scarcity of ready money everywhere, the bank was unable to collect the pa- per now long since due. As re- suit, the legal reserve was used beyond the safety point and the State Bank ing Department assumed management Friday
 It is not expected that the house will be closed permanently, nor even for any great length of time. Depos- itors, therefore, have no cause to be alarmed. As soon as some of the banks customers can pay the notes outstanding against them, the doors will be reopened.
 Every possible step had been taken by the cashier, president and board of directors to avoid even a temporary closing, but their untiring efforts have met with little or no success.--Snow- flake Herald.

COLORADO RIVER BED DOWN
 TO THE 1911 RECORD

A ten-year accumulation of silt was secured out of the river channel by the big flood this season, according to figures compiled by Ed. Williams recently. The river bar at Ehrenberg and at the intake is now back to the level of 1911. Williams stated that soundings talk en corresponded very closely with those in 1911 on tke same date. For the past ten years the channel has been accommodating silt and reach ing higher level after each seasons flood.
 Whether it was the result of the Oliver Lake cutoff, or the natural securing of two consecutive high floods that has lowered the bed, is not known, but the fact remains that the bed of the stream is now many inches lower than year ago.
 It is Williams theory that the ris- ing river channel has to a great ex- tent been responsible for the higher water table in the valley and he is of the opinion that this seasons action of the flood will in some extent sim plify the valleys drainage problem.

It was all over my body, but especially bad in my feet and legs, and at times l couldn't get from my bed to my chair without help. was almost a nervous wreck from all these years of suffering and could not half do my work. l hoped for nothing more than temporary benefit from Tanlac, as believed it impossible for any medi- cine to give me entire relief, but this is exactly what Tanlac has done.
 For the first time since l can re- member 1 eat anything want and di- gest it without trouble. haven't an ache or a pain and have put on eigh- teen pounds in weight. just feel good all over and enjoy life as l never did before.

TOURIST LOSES A DODGE
 CAR IN RIVERS FLOOD

Word reached Holbrook that Los Angeles tourist attempted to ford the Rio Puerco at Adamana. He neglect ed to shift his gears to low until he got into the sandy bottom when the wheels revoIved so fast that they dug into the sand and soon it was found impossible to move it. The occupants managed to get out, but the car set- tied in the rivers bottom. The auto was new Dodge, bought five days before at Los Angeles, and insured for $1,000.

MAY ATTEMPT TO FORCE
 HALL ON ELECTION

The mandamus proceedings will be instituted against Ernest R. Hall, sec retary of state, to compel him to call a special election on house bill S3 in November, was reported at the state house.
 The rumor was based on the fact that J. L. B. Alexander made check on the journals of the Fifth legis- lature covering the bill said to have been preparatory to bringing court action.
 The bill referred the. matter of in- creasing the bonded indebtedness of the state pertaining to the construc- tion of reclamation projects to the people at a special election set for November. A referendum directed against section 5 of the bill which called for the election was put in cir culation shortly after the bill was signed. The petitions, containing more than twice the necessary number of signatures, were filed with the sec retary of state.

OLD COLORADO MAKES
 TROUBLE AT YUMA

Grading work upon that section of the Yuma valley levee carried out by the recent flood from the Colorado river, has been completed and with the arrival within the next few days of the necessary steel the work of replacing the railroad track will be started.
 Immediately upon the recession of the flood water two drag line dredges were placed upon the work of rebuild ing the dirt levee. Under the super vision of Chris Kring, acting super intendent of construction, the 1000 foot break has been closed.
 The necessary steel and ties are ex- pected to arrive within the next few days and it is thought that another two weeks will see resumption of traf- fic on the Yuma Valley railroad.- Yuma Sun.

APACHE TRACKS WASHED
 OUT IN SEVERAL PLACES

The Apache railway company has been unfortunate this week from the fact that the heavy rains have played havoc with the company's tracks in washing them out in several places. The damage, though exasperating, is not serious, and men were immediate ly put to work repairing the damage. Superintendent Shipley promptly got things in shape for the work, and it is expected that he will have things ready for resumption of traffic soon. AS near as we can learn the tracks were washed out in at least four places, though in each case the length of the wash has not been very great. --Holbrook Tribune.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 ' HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
PROPOSE EXTRA SESSION TO CUT APPROPRIATIONS

A special session of the legislature could cut $1,500,0 or 25 per cent from the total appropriations made by the last legislature, according to a report made public by a committee of tax payers who are attending the state tax conference at Nogales. The committees report will be submitted to Governor Campbell as an argument in favor of calling a special session Of the legislature.
 The committee recommended that appropriations for every department in the state government from the governors office down, be reduced. It is also recommended that county tax payers retrenchment leagues be or ganized in every county in the state.
 A committee consisting of John K. Norton of Phoenix, William Fl. Camp bell of Flagstaff, John c. Greenway of Warren and S. P. Applewhite of Doug las, was named to present the recom- mendations to the governor.
 Governor Campbell told the com mittee that recommended the special session that he would call such ses- sion provided he was convinced that the legislature could make reductions in the appropriations sufficiently large to make the session worth while.
 Appropriations made by the Fifth state legislature at it's regular ses- sion last winter totaled approximate ly $6,000,00O.
 The committee recommended the following reductions in appropria- tions: $360,000 in appropriation for University of Arizona; $30,000 in the appropriation for the Yuma highway; $5S,000 in the Tempe Normal school appropriation; $60,000 in the state road tax; $25,000 in the Northern Ari- zona Normal school appropriation; $50,00O in the land settlement com mission appropriation; $107 900 in the state fair commissions appropriation; $20,0O0 in the corporation commits sion's appropriation; S10,000 in the Arizona resources boards appropria- tion; S19,000 in the appropriation for the capitol grounds and buildings; S25,000 in the appropriation for coop eration with the United States biolog- ical survey; s37,0O0 in the appropria- tions to encourage vocational enduca- ton in high schools and normal schools; s9,000 in the governors de- partment; S24 ,000 in the funds for the national guard; repeal of senate bill No. 51, providing state road fund of $S05, 900, with the exception of small maintenance levy; and reductions in appropriations for all other depart ments of the state government.
