MAJOR KELLY TAKES A WHACK
 AT OWNERS OF BARKING DOGS

An enterprising community which believes in the comfort of it's citizens has just passed an ordinance making it unlawful to keep dog which barks or howls consistently at night. A fine of dollar a night is imposed on the owner. If this does not act as si- lencer, the dog catcher appears and the dog disappears.
 There probably will be some lively neighborhood rows until the public has become trained to the new sys- ter, but such an ordinance is in the interest of the majority, whatever the keepers of barking dogs may think.
 A good watch dog seldom barks. When he does his warning is signifi- cant and justified. The dog that keeps people awake at night is not good for much of anything as a rule. He is merely a disturber of the peace that should be suppressed. - Douglas h. ternational.

CUSTOMS MEN KILL
 SOLDIER AT THE BORDER

Walter Lyons, a negro trooper sta toned with the 10th Cavalry at Fort Huachuca, was killed, and another trooper named Adams wounded when United States customs officers from the Naco office opened fire Monday night on an automobile in which the soldiers were riding. The customs officers said that they had been ad- vised that an attempt would be made to smuggle into the United States a quantity of liquor. Proceeding to a point about one mile west of Naco, Arizona, they claim to have found an automobile stationed near the in- ternational boundary. When they called to the driver to halt, they said, the car started away at a high rate of speed. The government men said they opened fire with rifles, aiming at the tires and gasoline tank. The car sped on.
 The officers said they were unaware that they had killed anyone until army officers from Fort Huachuca visited Naco and informed them that third trooper had driven the car to the fort Monday night with the body of Lyons, and with Adams, who had been shot through the arm. Lyons head, they said, was nearly torn off. Customs officers claim that a quanti- ty of liquor was thrown from the car as it sped away. No arrests have been made, nor the county officials been notified of the shooting. Army offic- CTS are continuing their investigations.

"BIG FIVE PACKERS LOSE RATE CONTEST AGAINST LOCAL FIRM

The fight of the Big Five packers and railroad interests against the Ari- zona Packing company, which has continued for more than two years, has been partially settled through an order of the Arizona corporation com mission reducing rates to the home company to points in the state and providing for adequate and proper "peddler car" refrigerator service for the meat, the commission has an nounced.
 The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion has before it a case seeking sim liar treatment for the home company outside the state. The reduction in rates is more than 50 per cent. Dis crimination was the charge made and proved, according to the commission. The Arizona Packing company plant at Cactus, two miles east of Phoenix, is the largest between Fort Worth and Los Angeles and is considered among the most modern and sanitary plants. The adjustment in rates is considered by the company a great victory not only for itself, but for cat tlemen and consumers also.

SLAUGHTER ESTATE NOT AS
 GREAT AS FIRST THOUGHT

That the estate of the late John H. Slaughter of Douglas, will fall short by $100,000 or more of it's supposed value, was made known by Neri Os- borne, Jr., state inheritance tax ap- praiser, who has just returned from Douglas.
 Slaughter was one of the earliest and most famous of the pioneers of Cochise county. Among his assets it was generally supposed that he own- ed tract of land in Old Mexico di- rectly across the international line op- posite Douglas containing some 3O,00O acres.
 From the investigation made by Mir. Osborn, however, it would seem that Slaughter did not own the land at all, but was merely the holder of a 99- year-lease. The land was leased in 1884 for cash consideration of $18,- 900 from Ygnacio Perez of Spain,
 Property on this side of the line, including a cash balance in the bank of $26,OO0 will appraise in the neigh borhood of $140,000 it is stated.

MAXWELL WIRES HIS OBJECTION TO THE
 SANTA FEE COMPACT

George Maxwell, executive director of the National Reclamation associa- tion wired President Harding and Chairman Hoover of the Colorado Riv- CT Commission, expressing dissatisfac- tion with the compact drafted by the commission at the Santa Fe meeting. While MT. Maxwell has been designat- ed as Governor-elect Hunts personal representative at the Santa Fe meet ing, his messages were not sent as such representative, but as director of the reclamation association. Gov ernor-elect Hunt stated that he knew nothing of the message or its con- tents.
 Mir. Maxwell's message to Chairman Hoover and President Harding fol- low:
 "The effort to crack the whip over Arizona and force her to surrender vast future development by threats to delay flood protection or immediate needs for development will fail miser- ably. When facts are understood ev- cry state and congress will repudiate proposed compact. Am sending fol- lowing telegram to President Hard
 
 ing:
 "It is announced in the press that Secretary Hoover has wired you his congratulations on proposed agree ment of Colorado River commission for a compact between the states. h. stead of congratulations, it should be condolences. My information as to proposed compact is that it is a care fully camouflaged effort to hamstring Arizona and frustrate her determina- tion to prevent success of a scheme of American land spectators to steal the Colorado river from the United States of America, to establish a great Asiatic city and state in Colo rado river delta at head of Gulf of California and thereby create crush ing and ruinous competition for every farmer and wageworker in our coun- try inevitably resulting ultimately in a war with Asia in which Arizona and California would be the shock coun- tries as was Belgium in the World War. As soon as Arizona can get these facts before the people, every true-hearted American will join hands to prevent this war with Asia, which would be more terrible world calam- ity that the great war, lasting longer and giving profiteers greater oppor- tunities.

PRISON INMATES IN
 ARIZONA DECREASING

According to an announcement made by the department of commerce, based on returns received by the bureau of census, the total number of inmates of penal institutions in the United States on July 1, 1922, was 163,SS9. On July 1, 1917, the total number of inmates was 146,161.
 Excluding those on chain or road gangs and independent institutions, which were not included in the 1917 census, we find a total gain of 9,945 or Fl per cent. The ratio per 100,- 900 population in 1922 was 1874, while in 1917 it was 1872.
 The total number of prisoners in all the penal institutions of Arizona on July 1, 1922, was 7O6, while on July 1, 1917, the total was TIT. This shows a decrease of 9.1 per cent in the state while on comparing the totals throughout the country we find an in crease of 5.4 per cent.
 The per cent of increase in prison CTS for all of the state prisons com pairing the total of 1922 with those of 1917 was 1O.1, while that for the Ari- zona state prison was but 21.

CAR BACKS OFF MESA AND
 KILLS MRS. YAVA AT POLACCA

A sad accident occurred on the Navajo Indian reservation Tuesday evening last about ' o'clock Albert Yava's wife was killed and two chill dren hurt when his car backed off the top of the mesa at Polacca. Albert had left Keams Canyon for the mesa. Arriving at the foot of the mesa, his wife walked up, saying she was afraid to ride, and took her two children with her. Albert drove up to the top and waited at the first house on top.
 When his wife arrived he cranked the car and put the children and wife in and the car began to run back. He told his wife to put her foot on the brake, but she must have put it on the reverse, as the car backed rapid ly with him holding onto it trying to keep it from going over the rim of the mesa. But in spite of his efforts it went over and spilled the children out at the first edge, rolling several hundred feet down the steep mesa walls before it lodged.
 Mrs. Yava had her back broken and a deep cut in her head, but in spite of this she lived two hours after be- ing carried back on top of the mesa. It is understood the children are not seriously hurt and Albert is slightly crippled. He went over the 50-foot ledge with the car.
 Many know Albert Yava, who go to Keams Canyon at all, as he works in the government offices at that place. He is a we'll educated Hopi and we'll liked by all.-Holbrook Tribune.

ARIZONA MAY GET
 WOODMEN SANITARIUM

That the Woodman of the World, a fraternal order with membership of S00,000 throughout the United States may choose Arizona as the site for the erection of a tuberculosis sanitar- ium for it's afflicted members, became known recently. Plans for the sani- tarium, which will be a memorial to soldier members who paid the "su- preme sacrifice" during the world war, have been completed.
 The Woodmen of the World at it's national convention voted $100,000 for the establishment of a sanitarium for members afflicted with the white plague, provided a state where eli matic conditions are favorable should contribute like amount. Land for a site, valued at this figure, will be con sidered the proper equivalent. Several offers have been made and it remains only for the site to be decided. This selection will be made in the next few weeks, according to an announcement made by w. A. Fraser, sovereign com mander.
 The Woodmen are prepared to be- gin the erection of the sanitarium as soon as the site has been selected, and detailed plans have already been drawn. The sanitarium proper will be a building 300 feet long, 50 feet wide and three stories high with con- crete porches surrounding the edifice on every floor An administration building, residence for the chief med ical director, and cottages for nurses and other assistants will complete a handsome architectural group. The grounds will be artistically handicapped.

TO SECURE GREATER JUSTICE

The approval by the National Con-
ference of Commissioners on Uniform
State Laws OF a uniform illegitimacy
act and recommending 1t to the states
for adoption is a step forward in the
effort to secure a greater measure of
Justice for the $4,000 children torn
out OF wedlock in this country.
Most OF the state laws covering this
matter are out Of date and the lack
OF uniformity does not help the ends
OF justice The proposed law would
place on both parents the obligation
10 furnish the child with mainte-
rance, education and support. Under
II court action to enforce the obli-
CATION of the father might be brought
in the community and State where
he Is permanently or temporarily
resident. or in which the mother or
child resides or is found. BY reason
of this and other provisions evasion
of the law would be difficult where
now 1t too often is accounted COM
paratively easy.
