MAY THE PRESIDENT VISIT NORTHERN
CANADIANS.

The announcement that President Harding will
visit Prince Rupert during his Northern visit If he
makes it, is pleasing 1t would be fine, Also If the
President ecUd remain in the North long enough to
visit Whitehorse and Dawson and go on down the
Yukon and up the Tanana, the route that so many
+Alaskans have Travelled in the past 1t would add
immensely the perspective the President would &C
quire of Northern Development, and it would be a
very nice compliment to neighbors in the North.
After all, insofar as this Northern Empire is
cerned, there is great deal in the motto of the old
Arctic Brotherhood, There's No Boundary Line
Here
The people of Alaska and those of the Canadian
North have in very large degree, had similar ex-
perences. They have been overlapping experiences,
Also for thousands of Aaskans have lived in the Can
adian Yukon and Northern British Columbia and a
large percentage of the residents of the Canad
ian country have had Alaska experiences. Anything
that would the people either side of the line
not to forget this fact and that would tend to bring
them closer together should not be overlooked.

Colored fires burn on the streets

eve alike on stock and child. Every

giant firecrackers, the grownups of

THREE ARRESTED
AFTER ROBBERY Of
JOHN HYDER'S 'SSTORE.

William Mayo, Andrew Wallace
and India Richardson, all ne
groes, have been arrested in con
nection with the theft Of merchan
disc from the John Hyder store ol
North Central avenue. Mayo am
Wallace are charged with tal1ir.
goods, and Richardson with receiv.
ing stolen property.
Both Mayo and Wallace were en-
ployed as porters at the Hyder store.
When several hundred dollars worth
of merchandise was missed from the
stock of the store, Inspector ID. j.
Lucey made a search of the rooms
occupied by Mayo on East Madison
street and found clothing gloves and
other articles OF wearing apparel.
Mayo later made a written confess
sion for the aTesting officer. He is
said to be under a suspended sem
tence of five years on q charge Of
forging n check.
Policeman Charles Blake made y
search of the rooms occupied by
Wallace on East jefferson street and
recovered other goods which were
identified as having been stoln from
the Hyder store. Wallace was later
released under a $500 bond. India
Richardson is being held with Mayo
at the city Jail.
1t is the theory of the police that
these men have been involved in
series of small thefts from the store
which have extended over a period
of several months. An effort Is being
made to locate other oods which are
believed to have been removed from
the store.

SHOW BIG TOTALS

The total gross production of the
mines of Arizona for the year 1920
was $102, ,0S6, ,S66, according to figures
furnished the state tax commission.
Gold, silver, copper, lead and all 9TH
er metals mined here are included in
a table of counties compiled by the
commission. ella county is credited
with the greatest production in the
amount Of $31,S55,079.
While the 1920 report is not con-
sidered normal by Charles r. Howe,
chairman of the commission, it will
be far in advance of 1921, during
which year the mines were shut down.
While a resumption of the industry is
looked for within the next few
months, the production in all prob
ability will not be normal for still
another year, say the tax men.
Arizona is greatly in advance of
Montana, where the value of the mine
production for 1920 was but $3,535,S56

ton of gold. with 135,976 ounces, val

Maricopa Co., Engineer
Fatally Stricken While
Driving Alone Yesterday
On Thomas Road

Harry r. Vernon, Maricopa county
engineer and brother of Guy f. Yer
non, chairman of the board of super
visitors, was found dead on the rear
seat of his automobile on the Thomas
road, one-half mile west OF the new
cross cut canal, about 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon by i. B. Hitchcock,
city engineer of Phoenix. 1t is
thought that he died from sudden
attack OF acute indigestion. He was
alone when stricken.
Feeling the attack coming on, Mr..
Vernon had gotten out of the front
seat Of the car and climbed into the
back seat. The intense pain from
the attack just prior to death caused
him to roll over on his face and the
body was found lying face downward
One side of the face rested against
the side OF the car and the feet were
pressed against the door on the OPP
posite side.
Mr.. Vernon was driving east along
the road when stricken. At 1:15
o'clock yesterday afternoon T. c..
Sullivan, chief inspector Of the Verde
water pipe line, passed Mr.. Vernon
near the old cross cut canal on the
Thomas road and spoke to him. At
that time, Mr.. Sullivan said. there

Phoenix Chinese Looking Forward
To Great "Sun Men" Celebration

New Year is over for another s65
days for most Americans. It is al
ready comfortably laid away. along
with good resolutions, Christmas
neckties and other useless articles of
like nature. But to the Chinese in
our midst New Year is Just now
drawing near, and preparations are
being made in Phoenix for a big and
joyous celebration.
Chinese New Year will be observed
this year on Jan. 20. Sun Men. !"
meaning New Year in Chinese, is
always opened with volley of fire
works and colored fire, and is cele-
brated by the Celestials in much the
same way as the American cele-
brates it, with feasting and speech
making, but also with the giving of
elaborate presents. 1t is on this day
that merchants of large cities show
their appreciation to their employees
and to their patrons by sending out
gifts, by spreading feasts, and by the
throwing of small change to the beg
gars who haunt their doors.
In San Francisco the Chinese New
Year is a gala event, is carried on
for several days and is participated
in by all races. 1t is time for
profit as well as for giving, and the
shrewd Oriental makes the most of
it. The stores are spread with their
finest array Of goods and the mer-
chants keep open house as long as
there is one person left who wants
to buy. The sweet shops are open
to the streets, and great baskets of
sugared cocoanut, spiced ginger and
the luscious Chill nuts are set out on
the sidewalk to tempt the timid soul
who is afraid to step inside.
The proprietors put on their rich
est raiment, and stroll back and
forth through theiT wares, some of
them smoking slender Chinese pipes,
while others smoke the more Amer
ican cigarette. Many of the men.
Oriental in the extreme, speak perfect
English, as many a tourist has found
to his own confusion when he has at
tempted to ask the price of some
thing in pidgen English, and been
answered by. ''Sir. speak the Eng
hsh language quite we'll; what is 1t
you are trying to say?"
The meat shops during Chinese
New Year are one Of the interest
ing sights of San Franciscos China
town. Long tables piled with fresh
fish, dried fish, baked fish and what
looks like petrified fish may fill one
entire shop, while tables of pork,
ducks, eels, crabs and many strange
bits of dried flesh make up the stores
of others. Each may be only five
feet wide and a few feet deep, but
each will be filled to overflowing
with Orientals haggling over prices
or paving over the foodstuff in the
search of the particular tidbit his
heart Graves. The proprietor stands
oy, talking irterestedly. and oblig-
ingly cuts off from the part chosen
that which the customer desires.
Sometimes it may be the ears Of a
pig or the head and fins of a fish
nothing is too small to be asked for
or given.

ACCIDENTAL SHOT
INJURIES WATCHMAN

Frank Linville, night watchman at
the Hassaympa creamery, is in a
critical condition as the result of an
accidental shot inflicted when he
dropped a revolver when changing
clothes at the creamery about $50
o'clock yesterday morning.
The bullet from a As caliber re-
volver entered through the abdominal
wall, pierced the bowels in four
places and lodged in the flesh of his
back. His recovery is considered
very doubtful.
After being wounded, Linville re-
manned unattended for half an hour
at the creamery before a fellow en-
ploye found him and took him to his
home at Ninth street and Indian
School road. I.inVille minimized the
seriousness OF his wound and asked
that no physician be called to the
creamery, so 1t was almost two hours
after he was shot before medical
attention was given.
-Four perforations were sewed and
the bullet removed from the back.
Due to the long ride in his weakened
condition during the early morning
hours, pneumonia has set in.
