Gods country is ours,'' says Henry c. Yaeger in letter to The Repub- lican in which he encloses clipping from Dallas. Tex, newspaper, con- taining an article by correspondent complaining of the handicapping eff feet of rates in favor of Phoenix on oil cake. The writer said:
 '"They have no crop failures in Arizona and but little competition. Phoenix 43 per cent cake during the crushing season can be obtained around $6 per ton less than Texas cake. On this basis Phoenix 43 per cent cake can be shipped to certain Texas points at 32.5O per ton cheaper than Texas cake. Isn't that a nice situation? An efficient traffic bureau can cure such evils. 1 understand on good authority that the Phoenix rates will within the next few months be reduced to the Northwest. Colo rado and New Mexico, normally Texas markets are fast drifting away from you. Phoenix, with approximately the same freight rate and in num- Der of instances with a lesser freight rate Is unierselling you. Fortunately at this time, the production at Phoe- nix will not take care of all the needs of these two states. The cotton in.

IRepubIIcan A. 2. Leased WIrel

MORALES. Ariz., Aug. 17-The accounts of Rafael Quijano, admin istrator of the federal stamp office in Magdalena. Mexico. who entered the United States here last Friday afternoon, are alleged to be short SPA, 900. according to information re- ceived yesterday afternoon by Gabriel Corella, administrator of the Mex ican stamp office in Nogales, So- nora. An investigation has been ordered by the federal judge in No gales, Sonora, and efforts are being made to apprehend Quijano. who is believed to be in Los Angeles. Calif Quijano obtained passports in Nogales, Sonora, last Friday for himself and his family to enter the United States at this port. The i'm migration office readily granted the passports because Quijano was well known and that same afternoon he crossed the boundary. His distina ton was given in the passports as Los Angeles.
 Later an examination of his books and the stamps on hand at his office in Magdalena is said to have re- vealed a shortage of $24 ,000 in funds received from the sale of interna revenue stamps by officers in tho district under Quijano's supervision

CO[UMb|k CONCERT
 PLEASES D|G CROWD

Following an enthusiastic recep- tion last evening at the Columbia theater where he was forced to answer four curtain calls in addition to an encore after singing the Torea- dor song from Carmen, a special re- quest was brought to A. J. Kissel- burgh to repeat this selection at Library park tonight when he will be soloist during the weekly concert of the Capital City band.
 Another feature of the baritone s appearance was the fact that "A Perfect Day." which he sang as an encore, was the central theme of the leading picture, so that the singing of Carrie Jacobs Bonds we'll loved classic came as natural an effect part of the film.
 Another pleasing feature of the musical program at the Columbia last evening was the singing of a medley of popular choruses by Miss Bessie Barkley and Eddie Talbert who appeared in duet and whose se- lections included .The Trail to Home; Sweet Home, Grooming" and Peggy O'Neill"
 The selections of the Capital City band, which appeared for the second time at the theater last evening, were also VII received. This was partic- ularly true of the instrumental duet clarinet and trumpet, given by Jimmy Miller and Archie Davenport, wht chose the popular silver Threads Among the Gold as their offering l La Golondrina" was the encore.

SHAREHOLDERS,
 IN w. U. \. l |
 GETFREE WATER

F. A. Reid, president of the Salt River Valley Water Users' asso- citation, announced yesterday that because of the high water in the Verde river decision has been made to run free water to all the shareholders of the project until further notice in an amount not exceeding third of an acre foot per acre actually irrigated.
 The limit of one-third of an acre foot has been set for two reasons; first, in order that as many shareholders as possible may be given the benefit of the free water as long as the river is in flood, and second, by settino this amount as . maximum the farmer will not use more water than he needs and will be care full in its use, SO that there will not be a repetition of broken ditches and excessive road flood ing, as was the ease the last time flood water was run.
 In connection with the fore going, farmers desiring . run of free water were warned not to use more than they need, as without notice to them all water used in excess of the one-third of an acre foot will be charged to them.
 As an item of interest to share holders in the project 1t was an- nouneed that in addition to saw ing the water in the Roosevelt dam, the run of free water will increase the association's power income at the rate of at teast $500 day during the high watsr.

Paving of two important city thor oughfares. totaling more than a mile, was ordered and plans for the paw ing of third heavily travelled artery made by members of the city conn mission at their regular weekly meet ing yesterday. Action in authorizing the paving projects followed expira- ton of the protest dates.
 Probably the most important work ordered was the paving of East Washington street from Fifth to Six teenth streets, stretch of nearly be started as soon as the contract is awarded.
 Paving of Sixth street from Wash ington to Roosevelt streets also was authorized, members of the commits sion refusing to consider a petition by property owners requesting q change in the type of proposed pave- ment when City Engineer Hitchcock reported that signers represented konly 515.4S per cent of the total front age. The work will be carried out under the original specifications. Paving of West Van Buren street from Seventh avenue to Fifteenth avenue and connecting the new Phoe- nix Buckeye road with city paving. is another important job. planned by the commission in the near future. Steps in that direction were taken by the commission yesterday when they lived Wednesday, August 31. as the date for hearing of assessment and warrant for improvement of the street.
