CHAUTAUQUA WAS BEST
EVER AND WILL RETURN

NContlnued from Page One.)
The concluding numbers on the
seven day program were staged on
Friday afternoon by Alberta and
Lorene Davis, Of Los Angeles, who
as the "Sammies' Sisters so thor
oughly pleased their afternoon and
evening audiences that a return en-
gagement would be all right at any
time in the future. Following their
prelude in the afternoon. Wallace
Bruce Amsbary, in a lecture-recital
on James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoo
sier. poet, entertained the crowd for
an hour or so. The evenings enter
tainment was by Ralph Bingham,
accompanied by his wife and was a
scream from start to finish. Mr..
Bingham had his audience laughing
nine-tenths of the time and in all the
time he talked we only heard two
old chestnuts and they were SO thor
oughly disguised that the man who
brought them out years ago would
scarcely have recognized them.
To put it short-the chautauoua
was a success and the efforts of
Supt. Skinner, Byron F. Brown and
others in this regard and in secur-
ing the return of the feature for
next year, are meritorious of the
hearty thanks of the people.
Mr.. Earl French, who superintend-
ed the chautauoua, was on par with
any of the men who have acted in
that capacity in years gone by and
1T was a real pleasure to meet and
associate with him. He was on the
job all the time and nothing was left
undone for the good of the local
people or the Redpaht.

WHERE COUNTY SCHOOL
 MONEY GOES

One of the bad features of the dis tribution of the school moneys of the state is that county that has prac- tically no taxable property but has a big crop of children reaps the har- vest of school money. Santa Cruz county that has less than one-half the taxable property of Mohave gets double the amount of school money that we do. The same is true of Apache, Yuma, Coconino, Graham, Navajo counties, these subdivisions of the state having less taxable wealth than Mohave have more than double the census children that are reported from this county and con sequently get double the dough from the state. The last legislative enact ment also makes this more burden some than ever. There is a pro- rating of the school tax by the state of $25 per school child and the coun- ties that have the low census popu- lation have to come through with large sums to keep up the schools of the largely populated districts. In this way this county is called upon not only to keep up it's own schools but also to provide the wherewithal for the large counties such as Mari lcopa.-Kingman Miner.

ral districts of the state than in the cities, the percentages being 20.4 for the rural population and 6.5 for the urban. For the native white popu- lation of native percentage the rural percentage of iliteracy is 1.6 while the urban is 0.S.
 In 1920 there were 4S,479 children 2 to 13 years of age in the state of Arizona and of this number 38,179 or 7S.S per cent were reported as at tending school. In 1910 the percent age was 71.S, thus indicating an i'm provement. Of the children IA to 15 years of age in 1920, 73.S per cent were attending school and of those 16 to F years of age 45.3 per cent.
 The percentage of children attend ing school was considerably larger in the cities than in the country districts the percentage for children in the ur- ban population to 13 years of age being SS.6 while in the rural popu- lation it was TAB. "Urban" accord ing to the census definition includes all towns or cities of 2,500 popula- tion or more.
 According to the census 33.4 per cent, or one-third of the people in the state are either infants or child ren under 15 years of age; 8.5 per cent are young people 15 to 19 years old; 41.6 per cent, about two fifths, are men and women in the prime of life, being from 20 to A years old; while 1892 per cent, being 45 years of age or over, are well along in middle life if they have not reached old age.
 More than one-half of the popula- tion, 56.2 per cent, are old enough to vote. The males of military or fight ing age, Is to A, constitute 46.a per cent of the male population.

OATMAN AMALGAMATED TO
 RUSH DEVELOPMENT

Fred Hensing, general manager of the Oatman Amalgamated, accom- panied by Charlie Prochnow of Flag staff, one of the large stockholders, were in Kingman yesterday. MT. Prochnow reports that work has been discontinued at the mines for about ten days to allow of the install lation of larger compressor, the old one being inadequate. The east drift on the 600 level is now in good ore and in the west drift nice body of ore has been picked up. The mine is shaping up in fine shape and it is believed that a large producer will soon be developed. The mine is sit uated west of Goldroad at what is considered the junction of the Tom Reed and Goldroad veins.
 The Oatman Amalgamated comp any is composed almost entirely of Flagstaff people and was brought into being during the boom days of Oatman. The development consists of a 600 foot shaft and several thousand feet of laterals. Is shows important outcrops and in the under. ground work there is good showing of high grade ore on the 300 ant again on the 600 levels. The ground is virgin, no stoping having beer

BISBEE POSTMASTER
 CONFESSES GUILT

Alleged confession of Lon K. Bailey and Matt Keaton, equally duplicating each other, reveal without serious dis crepancy the entire story of the lob bery of the Bisbee postoffice of the sum of S40,O00 in what was first re- counted by Bailey to be hold-up, ac- cording to Postoffice Inspectors Coop CT, Webster, Means and Chance. The reputed confession of Bailey, former ly postmaster at Bisbee and now un- der indictment on ten counts of fail ure to deposit in a prescribed deposi- tory Postal Savings funds, is said by the inspectors to have been drawn i from him Tuesday while keaton, ac- cording to the confessions, is related to have been an accomplice.
 The only substantial discrepancy in the confessions is said to be the state ment of Bailey that Keaton is in pos sesion of the entire sum of $40,0OO while Keaton alleges that he has only one half of it, Bailey having taken his share of the money which it was agreed originally should be split equally after the successful perpetra- ! ton of the robbery.
 The suspicion of postal inspectors of a conspiracy between the two men arose from the fact that the two were in company of each other al most continually for several days be- fore the robbery of the postoffice.. Bailey was found gagged and bound in a room of the postoffice building at Bisbee the morning of April 4 and related that he had been held up and rendered helpless by two masked ana armed men who then proceeded to remove the safe of the office. Bailey, according to his own original story, was working at the postoffice on the night of the robbery.
 Almost unceasing efforts to extract a confession from Bailey culmlnated in the alleged story told Tuesday morning to Inspector Cooper. He was questioned at all hours of day and night, inspectors coming to him when least suspected and firing repeated questions at him as to the details of the robbery and endeavoring continu- ally in the face of an iron mask on the part of Bailey to break down his defense. The story of Bailey failed to weaken at any time until Monday when after rapid fire questioning he asked that he be permitted to see In, spector Cooper, who at the time had started to Phoenix. Returning tt Tucson, Cooper Tuesday morning re ceived the confession of Bailey, it is claimed.
 At almost the same hour that the postmaster is alleged to have con fessed, it is averred that Keaton con fessed in Bisbee and lead the inspec' tors to a ranch near McNeal, Ariz. where was unearthed about $18,500 ir currency. It is stated that severa hundred dollars were found on tht person of Keaton.

FRONTIER DAYS AT
 PRESCOTT JULY 2-5

"Stay. Cowboy!" Turn 'em out Wildw At Prescott one of the first frontier towns in Arizona, there is held yearly, the cowboy contests on July 2-3-4-5th. The 1921 contests mark the thirty-third year that these sports have been held in Prescott making Prescott Frontier Days the oldest cowboy contests in the United States. This celebration perpetuates the spirit of the frontiersmen of Ar izona and the name of the West (Ar- i2ona) being synonomous with that of romance and beauty, it is in Prescott that a world of fables can be found. Closely allied with the history of the deadly Apache, is the story of the frOntiersman and with that of the frentiersman, naturally comes the cowboy.
 Along the Hassayampa, famed in history, Coronado and his followers camped long before any other section of this hemisphere received the light of the gospel. The Hassayampa Riv- CT was known to geographers and writers many years before the found- ing of Quebec or St. Augustine and when Castanada wrote of it's golden wealth, more than three hundred and fifty years ago, it's name was herald ed through the cities of Spain and was a familiar word to the people of Barcelonia and Calledolid. Up to 1860 little was known of this section. Paulin Weaver, the trapper and h. dian fighter and also Kit Carson, had passed through in the early 40's and they had informed frontiersmen of New Mexico and California of streams in the foothills fifty miles or so south of the old trail on the Colorado plat eau, where there were rich placers. These streams were undoubtedly Granite, Big Bug, Lynx, the Hassay- anpa and others in Yavapai county.
 Today, within fifty miles of the fa- nous Hassayampa, the FrontierDays contests are yearly held and Prescott is the mecca for hundreds of tour ists from every section of the country who come to view these contests. Yearly, Arizonans meet on common ground at Prescott.
 Hundreds of cowboys in their at tractive attire, with their cowboy wells and COW ponies gather in Prescott, there to pit their strength of brain and brawn for supremacy in the con. tests, which represent their every day life on the range
 The purses are high, amounting tc $1o,000, and naturally attract the best riders and ropers from the ranges throughout the country. Low sum mer excursion rates will be in effect from all points in Arizona, while those with autos vii take advantage of tho excellent condition of the roads to motor to Prescott. By writing to the Frontier Days management at Pres colt, reservations for accommodation: will be taken cafe of properly anC promptly. During the frontier days a special accomodations committed will be at the chamber of commerce office day and night to receive visit CTS and to see that they are suitably

 According to the census of 1920 there are 39,131 illiterate persons 10 years of age and over in Arizona. Of this number 19,291 are foreign-born whites, and l6, 06S are Indians. In the total population 10 years of age and over the percentage of illiteracy is 15.3, which shows diminution since 1910, when it was 20.9.
