 "They accuse me of attempting to become a great leader" continued Cameron. "That is untrue. What the republican party does in Arizona, that is what l am for, first, last and all of the time. 1 want to be worker and not leader, with the one aim to build up the greatest state in the Union.
 "The wave of prosperity, started by republican efficiency and confidence has just started. You will begin to feel it's effects next fall; then you will forget all of the hard times you have passed through. 1 am working to prevent me from doing my level best for my state. We're going to get our appropriations, and I am going back to congress if they will let me (laugh- ter) more determined than ever to put Arizona on the map"
 Cameron electrified his audience by declaring:
 "You have heard it said that the League of the Southwest is going to build dam in the Colorado river. am going to build the first dam. and my associates have been working on the idea for the past five years and we are ready to shoot And when it is built we can build 25 more dams on the Colorado river, developing un- limited cheap power and placing three and a half million acres under devel- opment.
 "All I ask is that you help me and get behind me and I'll go the limit for every one of you"
 Several times during the course of his remarks Senator Cameron was greeted with prolonged cheers and applause, and it was with difficulty that he was able to proceed.
 At the conclusion of his remarks resolutions were presented and unani- mously adopted as follows:

LIVESTOCK AND
 RANGES IN ARIZONA

With the advent of warmer weather new feed is coming on rapidly on the stock ranges and some light scatter ed showers have also been markedly beneficial to vegetation. Along the southern border cattle are said to be improving daily and new feed is suf- ficient to hold them for some time. In the Hatcher section light spring grasses have ripened and the absence of rain is being felt. The high winds of Monday were particularly detrl- mental to unprotected ranges, espec- ially those in the northwest where grass and soil dried rapidly. Range and stock are improving in the Pine dale, Fort Apache and Williams sec tions.
 Crop Progress
 Warmer weather has made the week an exceptionally favorable one for crops of all kinds. Cotton, pota- toes and cantaloupes have been freed to a great extent from attacks of aphis and have made excellent prog ress. Recent conditions have been fa- vorable for the rapid development of vineyards in the Salt River valley. AL though extremely cool during April the weather generally during that month was favorable for growth with the possible exception of one or two mornings when light frost appeared in localities; this was not general however. Planting of cuttings and rooted vines was nearly all completed during the early days of the month, cool nights and warm days being ad- vantageous to the young plants, es- pecially to cuttings. By the end of the month these were showing buds

BOY HERO DIES AFTER VAIN ATTEMPT
 TO SAVE MOTHER FROM THE FLAMES

the other building had fallen. The Van Zee home burned like paper Sheathed inside with lumber, tall two-story structure, it was one big flue. In remarkably short time it was completely burned.
 Early in the forenoon the firemen searched the still smoking heap of ashes for the bodies of the victims Finally they were found, together near where the front door had been and under the west chimney, which had covered them when it fell. The bodies were removed at once to the Flagstaff Undertaking Parlors. Walter Runke engaged w. H. Con- ley of the Union Taxi Co.,, to go at once to Moen Avi to bring back Mir. Van Zee. Moen Avi is ten miles this side of Tuba City. Hugh Smith, the cowboy evangelist missionary, went with MT. Conley to break the terrible news to the bereaved husband and father. The latter had been in Flag staff only a few days before for a visit with his wife and little ones. Mir. Van Zee got here just after dark Tuesday.
 The house belonged to Mrs. Ger trude Gates, by whom it was rented to Conrad Van Zee and his family. The latter had moved here so that the older children might attend school.
 Had the fire occurred the evening before it is likely many homes in that section would have been destroyed, for there was then hard wind blow ing and, as it hadn't begun to storm, every roof was tinder-dry. Even with the lessened wind next morning, burning shingles were carried more than block away, but then there was an inch of wet snow on the roofs and it was still storming, half rain and half snow.
 The new fire engine again proved its value, for, while the blaze was too far advanced when it got there to save the house, and hose was not coupled to all the openings, it threw the water in heavy volume and with terrific force.
 Mrs. Van Zee's maiden name was Hulda Salgren. Born in Illinois on February 2, 1875, she went with her parents to Nebraska when but a child. In the latter state she became acquainted with MT. Van Zee, and they were married about 20 years ago. Ever since then they had toiled together in Christian service.
 Seventeen years ago they came west and began missionary work among the Navajo Indians, near Tu- ba City. For want of school privi- leges they later moved to Flagstaff, Mr. Van Zee continuing his mission ary work among the Indians.
 The funerals were held together yesterday afternoon at 2:30 at the Federated church, Rev. J. B. Frey of Cornville conducting the services. Roger, the baby, was buried in the same casket as his mother, and Gil- more in separate grave beside theirs. mterment was in the Citizens cemetery.

companied by a chill wind, with only their thin night garments on, they cried and talked. Neighbors heard them, but didn't realize that there was anything out of the ordinary hap pening.
 Then the shrill fire alarm. The fire engine and men were quickly there. The frightened children, when they saw them come, ran behind a barn, south of the burning house, try ing to hide. They were found almost at once, tenderly wrapped up and carried to nearby houses, Gilmore to the home of Mrs. w. H. Power, whose husbands death last year as the re- suit of mysterious explosion in the stove at their home was the most tragic happening here in years up to Tuesday; the other children to the home of MT. and Mrs. Tom l.. Rees, two doors away from the burning house.
 Dr. Paul Finn gave first aid to Gil- more, then had him taken to Mercy hospital. The doctors soon decided that the boy could not live. He was conscious most of the time.
 The stoicism and vitality of the boy was marvellous. His face burned to a crisp, several minutes after he escap- ed from the house he was walking around, not uttering sound, though he must have been in greatest agony.
 It is strange that the fire alarm was not sooner given. The flames were seen from long distance by several who, thinking it was barn that was burning, neglected to turn in an alarm. Then several nearer saw the flames, realized the serious ness of the situation, and phoned in the alarm. Among them were D. w. Jeffery, who lives just across the street from the burned house, and Harold Sykes.
 Silas, the oldest son, and Wilbur Frey, heard the alarm and followed the fire engine to see where the fire was.
 The firemen and neighbors gather ed around the burning house after the older children had escaped were not sure whether the mother and baby were in the building. They fought against the fear that they were, knowing that if they hadn't already escaped and slipped into the home of some neighbor, they had already per ished. Silas, the oldest son, and Wilbur Frey, roamed from house to house in the neighborhood searching vainly for Silas' mother and the lit tie baby brother. Strong men even, who saw them, wept, feeling certain their search could only end in agoniz- ing disappointment.
 The home of A. F. Grimmel, cash fer of the First National bank, the first building east of the Van Zee home, caught fire and was badly char red on one side. But a small hose attached to the water inside the house was kept playing on it and the danger of its burning was past long before

Surprise Birthday Party in Honor

Surprise Birthday Party in Honor of Eli Giclas.
 Thursday evening, May 4th, the home of MT. and Mrs. Eli Giclas, Milton Road, was the scene of very pretty and quiet surprise party in honor of Mir. Giclas.
 Those participating in the event met at the home of MT. and Mrs. Dan Williams, on Milton Road, and from there advanced on the unsuspecting Giclas home, en masse, where the evening was very enjoyably spent in playing games, dancing and talking over old time memories, after which some delicious refreshments were served by the ladies, who had come prepared for the occasion. The eve ming terminated by MT. Giclas being presented gold Masonic fob, bearing the inscription, Prom the A. L. & T. Boys"
 Several attempts were made to count the number of candles on the cake, but Eli being we'll aware of the intent, managed to intervene, how ever for the benefit of the curious, he stated that it had been his privi- lege to vote at least twice.
 Those enjoying the evening beside MT. and Mrs. Giclas were MT. and Mrs. Dan Williams, MT. and Mrs. E. A. McNamara and family, MT. and Mrs. Ike Smith, MT. and Mrs. Chas. Caffey, Mir. and Mrs. Claus Burn- helm, MT. and Mrs. Joe Rush, MT. and Mrs. H. s. Harper, F. W. Jones, Err UU;1lt,yaes rI .ola

STRANGE HAPPENINGS ACCOUNTED IN NEWS
 FROM OVER COUNTRY

A minister in the middle west, founder and for twenty years pastor of a church, married a couple while they wore bathing suits, standing be- side a public swimming pool. His church promptly preferred charges against him and will try him for the offense of conduct unbecoming min ister.
 A New York judge had before him prisoner charged with skipping his old father" The offense was not serious from the legal standpoint, since the slap had been undamaging to anything save dignity. The sen tence was that the offender paste in his hat written copy of the Fourth Commandment, "Honor thy Father and thy Mother" and agree to obey it. Commenting on the sentence, a court officer said. "It may sound foolish, but his neighbors will know it and talk about it, and public opin- ion will keep him well-behaved in fu- ture."
 In a Virginia court, woman ac- cused of the serious crime of forgery was sentenced to pay fine of one dollar and to spend one hour in jail. The court tempered the stern justice of impersonal law with the tender mercy of compassion for the helpless. The trial developed that the woman and her baby had suffered hunger and cold from lack of necessities the hus- band failed to provide, though able. The woman opened letter addressed to her husband, found a government check for disability allowance, wrote the husbands name on it, cashed it, and spent it for clothes. and food for herself and child.
 An Indiana woman "died. and kept on living" according to the doctors who attended her. The strange case was that of a mother, run over by a train and fatally injured, who was kept alive and conscious for hours, with mother-love anxiety over her children, after her heart had ceased to beat, according to attending phys icians.

Two darky boys in a Southern city met on the street, each wearing a new suit. One asked: "Nigger, how much do they set you back for dem clos? Fo'ty dollahs?" "Yes, sah, fo'ty dollahs." Look at me-" said the first. "I'se got on a suit w'at's mos perzackly like yourn, an don't pay but ten dollahs for mine. Some body shore flimflammed you" The possessor of the forty dollar suit took hold of one of the coat sleeves of the ten dollar suit and pulled on it. It stretched. Then strengthening up he said: "See here, boy, the fust big rain yo' gets ketched out in dat coat of yourn is gwine to say, Good bye, nigger, f'om now on Is gwine to be yo' vest.

William J. Burns said in an inter- view in Washington: "Our most telling clews will some times come from the unlikeliest sources.

 "'It's bedtime, dear. Run and kiss nursie good night
 "'No, said the little girl, No, I'm afraid to-
 "'Afraid to? Goodness gracious, why are you afraid to?'
 "'Because nursie slaps you if you kiss her now.'

BUREAU CONTROL

We still are very far from that condition of bureaucratic autocracy which hastened the wreck of the former Russian Empire, but in the flippant phrase of the day Eve are on our way.'
 Senator Stane]y performs public service in excoriating the tendency of this Government toward an encysted paternalistic authority.
 Bureaucratic control is dangerous menace .to the nation; its extension is without llmlta- tions; it's ultimate cost beyond all computa- ton.
 According to Senator Stanley, already the cost of Government has become "unbearabe.' ' There will be many to agree with him that the continuation and development of such re- gime can mean but one thing, the enslavement and bankruptcy of the nation.
 This conviction is expressed by the Senator with full knowledge that the Government eN- penditures, over and above the expenditures which arose from or out of wars, past present or future. inordinately have increased. But this fact is not due entirely, he says, to the dereliction of the party in power. It IS due to "a persistent growth of bureaucratic control, the increase of the personnel of departments and commissions and of bodies and of bureau and every other agency ever utilized or even abused by paternalistic regime"
 This indictment rightly cannot be question: ed. The constant and obvious taking away from Courts, from local self government, from the States, from constituted authority in ev cry shape and form the conduct of the peo- ple's affairs and the control of those things that local communities have controlled during the whole history of the country, evidence the existence of an omnous and developing dis ease.
 The result is, the Senator graphically phrases it. that ''there is more uower today exercised in these marble sarcophagi by un- known experts, the politically controlled ap- pointees of whispering propaganda, than by the Courts themselves''
 The cost has become tremendous According to the Senator's figures. each citizen of the republic is bearing on his back not one, but two, Old Men of the Sea, who are sucking the blood of taxation from the veins of the nation.
