FREIGHT TRANSPORT
 ONE CENT PER MILE < PER 100 POUNDS

Freight transportation over paved highways has been reduced to prac- tically cent mile per 100 pounds in Maricopa county.
 How interurban paved roads are bringing down the cost of living to the consumer, even though he may never use them, is brought out fore ibly in an order which has just been issued in favor of the Chandler Trans fer company, operating between Phoenix and Chandler.
 This company voluntarily filed ap- plication to reduce its rates from 30 cents to 25 cents per 100 pounds, the reduction being based on the fact that nearly the entire distance between the termini is now paved, lessening the cost of operation and upkeep. The distance is 33 miles from which it will be seen that the cost of transportation is approximately cent per mile per 100 pounds.
 When the 1-cent rate is made ap- plicable to the state at large through the extension of the permanent road system, the railroads will have little or no business on the short-haul ship ments-at the existing freight rates, at least, it is predicted by the commits sion.
 In granting the reduction the com mission states:
 "The public is entitled to any pos sible and reasonable reduction in the cost of transportation of commodities, and it should be the policy of common carriers to render service at the lowest possible rates commensurate with good service and fair return on the investment. Experience has shown that whenever common carrier re- duces it's rates, the resultant increase in traffic more than repays the initial loss which the carrier may suffer at the time of reduction, excepting, of course, extraordinary conditions such as prevailed during the war. The op- orators of the freight line in this case are to be commended for their inter est in the public welfare displayed in this voluntary request for the reduc- tion."

 at the grave, reviewing briefly MT. Crabb's life. The pall-bearers were Walter Miller, of Jerome; Edward S. Stephens, secretary of the state live stock sanitary board, of Phoenix; Pat rick Hurley, one of Mir. Crabb's part ners, of Phoenix; F. E. Snyder, of Phoenix, secretary of the state cattle growers association, and J. r. Wilson and c. B. Wilson, of Flagstaff.
 Mir. Crabb at the time of his death was part owner of the Coconino Cattle company, in which he became inter- ested with T. F. Miller, of Jerome, and Patrick Hurley, of Phoenix, about twelve years ago, his resignation from the government service being to take the management of the business. He was also president of the Arizona Cat tie Growers association, chairman of the Arizona Live Stock association and president of the Coconino County Cattle Growers association. His as- sociation work was of great value to his fellow members, as he was as un- tiring in his work for the associations, and as successful, as in his own busi- ness.
 Jack Crabb loved and lived this poem:
 Let me live in house by the side
 of>the road
 Where the race of men go by.
 They are good, they are bad, They are weak, they are strong,
 Wise, foolish. So am 1. So why should one live in the judg-
 ment seat, Or hurl the cynic's ban? Let me live in a house by the side of
 the road
 And oe a friend to man."
 Judge J. F.. Jones adjourned super for court for part of Tuesday fore noon in respect for the deceased. Mir Crabb's sister, Mrs. James A. Kane of Modesto, Calif., and his two bro thers, L. V. Crabb, of Aguila, Ariz. and D. D. Crabb, of Fresno, Calf. were here for the funeral.

RIVER IS RAPIDLY EATING Y
 HOLBROOK AT THE BRIDGE

The Little Colorado river is cutting deeply into the town just east of the bridge. Over 50 feet have caved in during yesterday through the ravages of the river. If it keeps on as it has done, the northern approach to the bridge will be gone, to say nothing about the losses that will be entailed by several business houses on the river. What could be prevented with $500 of expense now, will mean thous- ands in a few days, and no way of getting across the river to the south. It certainly looks, this morning, as though much more territory would be eaten up by the flood. It seems to us to be nothing short of criminal negli- gence on the part of the authorities not to attempt to stop the inroad of the river. The penalty of neglect at this hour will be an almost incalcul- able expense in the future. Last night the owners of the Riverside Cafe tore down the building and hauled it away to save it from going into the river.

NEVADA GOVERNOR WILL NOT
 BARTER STATE RESOURCES

Carson City, Nevada, July 27.--The application filed last week by the City of Los Angeles for authority to ap- propriate water from the Colorado river in Boulder Canyon for hydro electric power development has been returned for correction, it was an nounced by state authorities, who said they had insisted that separate appli- cations be filed for power and storage.
 Governor Boyle said the state would not act in the matter until it was known in detail just what each of the various public and private proposals for Boulder Canyon development really meant. He declared the state would not permit "bartering away for ever our rights to development of our own rich and vast territory with our own resources"

Local Boy, Back From Ouerseas
 Service, Says Germans Friendly
 To Tanks, Hostile To Ally Troops

Conditions in the section of Germany that is occupied by Ameri- can troops have changed very little since the United States army of oc- cupation took control there, accord ing to Arthur Sheppard. who has just returned from the occupied area. Sheppard enlisted for two years ser vice after the signing of the armis- tice. and served Is months in Ger many
 American troops still occupy Fort Erhibritstein. that overlooks Cob lenz and the Rhine, as well as other forts in the Coblenz territory Troops that went with the army of occupa- tion when it first went into Germany will remember the rage and dispair of the residents when Old Glory was first hoisted from the proud heights of Erhinbritstein. The Sth Machine Gun Battalion. with which Sheppard serv- ed, was stationed at Erhinbritstein. and he had an oportunity to explore the place. He said that in under ground passages they found musty dungeons from which 14 skeletons were brought to light One of the skeletons, he said. was that of an American soldier. with identification tags still around the neck.
 When Sheppard left the occupied territory about 10000 troops were stationed there Treves. on the Mo selle. formerly occupied by the Amer jeans, is now occupied by French. The British still occupy Cologne Sheppard said that the general feel ing among the troops is that the ter ritory will be occupied for years to come.
 The American soldiers are allowed much freedom and are contented with being where they are. There are no rules whatever against fraternization with the German population and the soldiers are frequently invited out to parties and social affairs. They are not allowed to go onto the streets of the town until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. but they may then go wherever they please. Many places are kept open for their exclusive bene- fit.
 The situation is very different with the French and British troops. Shep- pard said. A French or British sol dier cannot walk with safety on the streets of German town unless he carries side arms. The Germans re frain from mixing with them in a so- cial way, and appear to have bitter malice against them. Sheppard said that in his opinion the Germans would
