ARRESTS IN VALLEY

Considerable of surprise was
sprung on two soft-drink parlor pro-
prietors OF Paradise Valley last Sun
day evening, when Federal Prohibi-
tion Enforcement Officer Donnelly
and two of his deputies, Offlcers Nash
and Sheehan, assisted by Sheriff
Brady. made raids which resulted in
the arrest of Santa Arriola and Pete
Yrueta and the confiscation of a small
amount of moonshine. Paradise Val

Arriola, Immediately upon furnish
ing $1,000 cash bail, was released. but
Yrueta was brought to this city the
same evening and lodged in the coun-
ty jail. He yesterday furnished bail
in the sum OF $1,000. Virgil Pasquale

The liquor was taken to Reno yes

ings are to be held here before United
States Commissioner Sam Bonnifield.
That the appearance of the officers
and their intentions we're somewhat
of q shock to Yrueta was evidenced
fy the fact that upon making their
identity known Yrueta swooned to the
foor. He was brought back to sensi-
Lility only after water had been ap-
piled to his head and face. II is

arrange details with Captain Don

Four raids were made In Paradise,
three of them at the same time. III
was planned in advance that TWO OF
the men were to go to one place
while each OF the others were to take
charge of the other places and await
arrival of the first two. This was
done that no alarm could be given
and possible evidence destroyed In
one place while the raid was In prog

Consequently Captain Donneiiy

course of the Victory Highway on his
way to the offices of the association

the motor vehicle rapidly displacing
all other modes of travel. 1t is now as
necessary to have satisfactory high

degree than the railroad. No funds

"He would" she replied gravely in her crys-
talline voice.
They came back many times, and Robert be-
gan to feel some embarrassment in Corisande's
presence. He decided to sell the dromedary
and quit Nice.
A man who dealt in horses and mules offered
to dispose of the beast on modest commits
sion.
Some days passed. One morning Roberts
uncle invited him to breakfast. Drinking their
coffee in the garden under the palm trees, with
a view to the right over the sea, the uncle an

reward"

and continued:

sale. I said to myself that since it had
brought you luck it might also bring you
happiness. The hour has struck. Look thersi"

stupid. An Arab, sent by his uncle gave him
few lessons in camel driving.
Thereafter Nice saw appear each morning
and afternoon dromedary led by young man
of prepossessing manners. The bumped ami
NAL carried on his tanks placards on which
one could read in gigantic letters:
Excursions and Promenades."
Two Boivians were the first excursionists.
The dromedary carried them 70 Villefranche
and back. In spite Of the pitching peculiar
to the "ship of the desert" they declared them
selves satisfied with the trip and proved it by
Offering the driver good sized tip. Their
example influenced the Chileans, the Argen;
tnians and the Brazilans, and then the
Yankees, the English and the Russians.
Presently Robert had mob of patrons who
paid generously. Some days he made as much
as forty francs. Since he led an existence as
frugal as the cameloid's, he saved money rap
idly. At the end Of two years he had put by
12,700 francs.
Thereafter he began to make plans in which
the beast with thee Biblical profile ceased to
figure. Nevertheless he decided to follow his
profession little while longer-the more so
since he had acquired two very assiduous
patrons.
They were the wife and daughter of lum-
Der king, citizen Of the United States, who
owned forests covering an area as large as
several French departments. The mother,
lady past middle age, showed great interest in
Javarre's personality and conversation. She
asked him many questions and ended by de-
claring:
You weren't born to be a camel driver"
DO you think so?" he answered "One is
born predestincd to be what he is and what
he will be-
He didn't hesitate, however, to tell them his
story, which seemed to amuse them.
You ought to go to America" said the
mother "Isnt that so, Corisande? He would
make good deal of money in America"
Cerisande smiled and blushed. Her face
had the tint Of white roses. Her eyes were

The camel appeared, in setting entirely
natural to it, between two spreading palms.
Robert was even more astounded when he
saw the silvery voiced Corisande mounted on
the "ship Of the desert"
''You see, you see,' said the uncle with
laugh ''It carries your happiness. You have
only to say the word and you can enter the
state of matrimony-and not with empty
hands, either. / tell you that, my boy"
Robert hurried off to help Corisande dis
mount. Then they disappeared together in
the palm grove. which that day concealed all
the gifts of the fairies and of the masters Of
enchantment.
Roberts heart beat fast He asked himself
half despairihgly whether his uncle hadn't
been deceived Finally, looking straight into
his companions sparkling eyes, he murmured:
perhaps you know, Miss Corisande, that
love you. And although I am unworthy Of
you"
The young girls face flushed:
"Why should you be unworthy?" she ex-
claimed. SIN America we love self-made men"
"Then?" he said in a supplicating voice.
She laughed and pointed to the dromedary
standing motionless under the palm trees.

the youth of Magella was in the smile she

bubbling that went to his head like wine. He

Querita whispered suddenly: "Stop, Ameri-

Now, the main difficulty with
the native Republicans was
that they had been promised
too much-had been led to hope
for more than it was in the
power of the party leaders to
grant. And as time went on
and they grew no nearer the
fulfilling Of their desires-no
nearer their goal Of statehood

Community Notes.

Our sings are proving 80 popular,
that at the request of those Interested
IL was decided 20 hold the next sing
on Monday night, June o. On account
of conflicting with the meetings Of
some of the lodges on the firs, Monday
night of the month. II had been pre-
yiously decided some months ago, that
the sings would be held on the second
and fourth Monday nights Of each
month. Occasionally this would put
the sings three weeks apart instead OF
two, and our singers have intlmatcd
in strong terms that they think three
weeks l. too long between. There
fore, nj a business meeting last week,
the council decided that the sings
should be held regularly every two
weeks.
Mrs. B. q. Pierce will be at the
piano, and we are preparing for good
program and a good time, next Mon
day night. The orchestra Is a great
heip. We will soon have the orchestra
music for most Of the songs in the
song books. Any one wishing to own
a copy Of the Community song book
can have one by paying the cost price
Is cents. The sing will begin prompt,
ly al 8 o'clock, and at $3.50 we VIII
have a short intermission for rest, and
70 take up some business matters.
This business meeting will be short
and interesting.
Every one Is invited to the sing, and
especiaily our country people, yopng
and old. The place is the Presbyterian
church. Time, Monday night, June D.
at & o'clock. II.
We want to thank the ladies who
formed the committee to prepare the
flowers for Decoration Day. This Is
n matter of community interest ana
the Leagre was glad to handle the
matter. There are many OF these
things, things Of common, mutual m
terest, coming up during the year. The
Community League will be glad 10
handle them, but to be able to do so,
we must have a membership and a list
of workers large enough, and so, when
YOU are asked to join our League, pe
ready with your membership fee. Inc

needed, but much more we want your
interest and support.
