SON THOUGHT KILLED;
RETURNING TO MOTHER

Men are still coming home from the
war. Men reported dead appear at
their homes and surprise the neigh
bors, but they do not surprise their
mothers.
Six years ago Jack Penland, IS
years old, left his mothers home in
Ell Paso for war torn Europe. Nothing
was heard of him. His mother and
two sisters advertised in every publi-
cation of Importance in the country.
They moved to Arizona and at last
settled in Tucson. Years rolled by
and everyone thought that Jack PEN
land had been killed in the war.
A few weeks. ago Mrs. Penland,
mother of the lost soldier, inserted an
adj in a western magazine. A little
stenographer in a. California town
answered the ad and Mrs. Penland
received telegram like message
from beyond the grave, saying that
her son was alive and that he was en-
route for Tucson.

BODIES OF ARMY AIR
MEN HAVE BEEN FOUND

With the remains of two men, found
Saturday near the wreckage of an
airplane on Cuyamaca mountain, east
of San Diego, positively identified as
those of Col Francis Marshall and
Lieut.. Charles Webber, army officers,
await instructions from relatives of
the men before going ahead with plans
for disposing of their bodies.
Lieutenant Webber's father, who
lives in Denver, telegraphed Major
Henry Arnold, who is in command of
Rockwell Field, to ship the body Of
his son there. Identification of the
two officers was positive when Mar
shall's name was found in the cap of
one of the men,.
The skulls of the flyers had been
crushed. Apparently lost in the fog,
they had hit the mountain and then
their plane had collapsed and taken
fire.

CHAS. ADAMS NAMED DEPUTY
CLERK OF THE u. S. COURT

Appointment of Charles n. Adams
of Flagstaff as deputy clerk of the
United States district court, attached
to the Phoenix office, was announced
by Judge Fred C. Jacobs. He imme-
diately was sworn in and will assume
his new duties at once.
The addition of a third deputy clerk
to the Phoenix office was made neces-
sary by the rapidly increasing volume
of business being handled by the
court, it was explained. No additions
were made to this department at the
time that a second judge was added to
the Arizona district with result that
the work has been so voluminous as
to make third man in the office an
absolute necessity.
Mr.. Adams has been resident of
Arizona 81 years and has served two
terms as clerk of the superior court
of Coconino county at Flagstaff. He
was the first clerk of the court under
statehood, being elected for three
year term when Arizona was admit
ted. He was reelected for four
year term at the expiration of his first
term.
For the past four months Mr..
Adams has been making his home in
Phoenix, which now will be his per-
manent residence.

APACHE RANCHERS GIVING
HERDS OF HORSES AWAY

For those who want horses, cheap,
Apache county, is the place to go.
Horses are less than cheap in
Apache. Owners are giving them
away, whenever possible, to avoid pay
ing taxes and national forest grazing
fees.
This is the word brought by H. B.
Slade, formerly resident of Jerome
who has returned to the Billion Dol
lar Copper Camp after two years in
the cattle business at Eagar. He
hopes to locate here permanently.
'My neighbors and | have given
away no less than $50 horses in the
last few months" Slade declared. "We
have been giving them TO anybody
who would drive them away and re-
lieve US of the necessity of paying
the grazing fee of rs cents year
Many of them are good horses, too,
though scrubs are mixed in with the
rest.
Several persons have driven off
bands of so or more horses, intending
to keep them on free range until the
horse market picks up and they can
sell them
Some cattlemen have almost
reached the point where they would
be glad to give away their cattle
along with their horses. The slump
has hit them all mighty hard"

REPORT MADE BY RICE ON
FLOW OF THE COLORADO

A graphic determination Of the
stage of the Colorado river for the
month of April has just been prepar-
ed at the local office Of the geologic
survey by Roger G. Rice, who is. in
charge of the district. The largest
flow record for the month was on
the 25th, when $4,000 cubic feet per
second flowed by the station in the
Grand Canyon. The lowest flow of
the month was the first Of the month
when but 7,700 cubic feet per second
flowed
The graph showed the marks regis
tered on the water guage. On the.
first it was 5.5, the third 9.5 and the
sixth 1872, from where it decreased
to 10 ON the eleventh and then in
creased steadily to 14.4 on the twenty
fifth when the peak was recorded.
BY the end Of the month it had de-
creased to Ill. These measurements
were made by the resident hydro
grapher.
During the summer months the
flow is greatly increased due to the
melting SHOWS. The large increase in
April was due to this and it was tenn
porarily stopped by cold spell that
again covered the upper regions of
the Colorado river.
Warnings are sent out to the Den
yer weather bureau and also to the
Yuma and Imperial valley irrigation
districts. These records are sent out
from the Grand Canyon station by
the courtesy Of the park service phone
which is used in spending up the in--
formation from the bottom of the
canyon.

WILL ATTEMPT TO ADJUST
ARIZONA FREIGHT RATES

What is being prepared as the most
important and comprehensive presen-
tation of freight rates ever held in the
history of the Arizona state corpora
tion commission is scheduled for June
10th, when under plan in the hands
of the Arizona intrastate rate confer
ence, every municipality, corporation
and individual shipper in the state
will have an opportunity to assist IN
a united effort to revise intrastate
rates in Arizona.
The conference, which is made up
of rate experts, traffic managers and
shippers in general, met in Phoenix
on Thursday, May 10, when def
mite plan of action was decided upon.
At the same time the traffic managers
in session there allocated the work of
preparing the cases for presentation
to the corporation commission.
In order that every shipper in
the state, from the greatest corpora
ton to the smallest individual firm,
mays have an opportunity to present
its own ideas to the commission, the
conference has made arrangements
whereby all shippers who are not
members of traffic associations or
who have not a special traffic coun
sci may prepare and present their
cases through the conference, and it
is expected that shippers from the
Grand Canyon to the Mexican border
will participate in this great effort
for revising freight rates within the
state.
Shippers who desire further infor-
nation concerning the rate hearings
on June 18th are urged to write to
h S. Dull, secretary of the Arizona
Intrastate Rate Conference, PIT Home
Builders Bldg, Phoenix, Arizona. The
direction of the conference is under
special committee headed by Earl Pc
rerson, prominent business man of
Mesa, and includes Percy r. Helm of
the traffic bureau Of the Phoenix
chamber Of commerce, and E. r. Rau
maker, traffic manager of the south
ern Arizona traffic association, rep
resenting also the chambers of COM
merce of Bisbee and Douglas, and
various large shippers of the southern
counties.

WATER SHORTAGE is
SERIOUS IN JEROME

There is a positive and absolute
shortage of water in Jerome and users
will have to practice the strictest
economy if water famine is to be
avoided. The flow from the Allen
and Walnut Springs has decreased,
while the consumption is steadily
growing owing to the greater number
of users.
It is not believed that the shortage
will be other than merely temporary,
but it is entirely probable that it will
continue until the summer rains shall
refill the underground reservoirs. In
the meantime it will be necessary for
everyone to adopt measures of econ
omy in use and the supply will have
to be shut off every night from 9
o'clock until o'clock the next morn
