YUMA WATER, AND
 GAS RATES RAISED

The corporation commission yes terday authorized an increase in gas and water rates of the Yuma. Light, Gas and Water company. The opin- ion and order was signed by David F. Johnson and Amos Betts, Loren Vaughn dissenting on the ground that he did not approve of 33 1-3 per cent increase for minimum consump- ton.
 The minimum was raised from $1.50 to S2, which will have the eff feet, declares MT. Vaughn, of driving away consumers. He also contends that the increase Is made at time when Yuma is suffering from cotton losses and will work a hardship on the srBAll consumer.
 Two hearings were held on the matter. Not only was the applica- ton for raise before the commis- sion, but also the complaints of the patrons of gas service which resulted in an order by the commission for the company to install a new gener- ator not later than February, 1922.
 Water was raised in the same per centage as gas.

WEATHER FAVORABLE
 FUR ARIZONA STOCK

Although nights have been cool the absence of stormy weather has made the week a favorable one for stock of all kinds. As there has been but little precipitation since October 24 streams have diminished consider
 ably and tanks and reservoirs are much lower. A sacrcity of water Is reported in the Pinto and Pinedale sections while at Fort Apache. south of the Rim, water is reported as plen- tiful. Major grazing sections and stock thereon are still good to ex- cellent, as reported to the weather bureau, but for some time reports from the Grand Canyon section have not been so encouraging, stock be- ing reported as only fair and range poor while at Williams 65 miles dis tant cattle are in excellent condition. At present there is general move ment of sheep from the north to the foothills of southern Yavapai and northern Maricopa counties.
 Not many more days of frostless weather will be required to fully de- yeIop the top crop of cotton. Much of it has already come to maturity and if what the weather bureau calls
 "radiation nights" continue for a
 week longer 8 full top crop Is as- sured In the yuma Vauey not mofe than one-fourth of the cotton hAs been picked; the crop opened late

SOVIET WILL ACCEPT
HOOVER OFFER TO AID
SICK and STARVING

RIGA, July 26-The telegram sent
by Herbert Hoover, as head of the
American relief administration. with
regard to aid for the starving and
sick of Soviet Russia was forwarded
to Moscow Monday Although the de-
cision rests with Moscow, the opinion
is expressed in soviet circles here
that Mr. Hoovers terms probably will
be accepted.
Soviet Resents Terms.
Soviet officials in Riga resent the
offer as being conditional on the re-
lease of prisoners. One of them char
acterized it as weighing seven or
eight prisoners against 100000
lives" but he expressed the opinion
that the soviet government probably
would accept.
The Russian soviet government Is
reconsidering the question of admit
ing American journalists into Russia.
Any relief on large scale from the
outside. according to experts, must
be immediate. as navigation will be
open for only three months more. l.
relief is delayed, they assert, millions
of persons will perish.
