Soon no shipments of news print
were available and wall paper
was resorted to. Many weeks
our issue was wholly on wall pa
per. Sales as souvenirs in
creased. The paper gained pub
licity all over the u. S. and it's
bitter struggle against oppres-
sion.
When its suppression apd ruin
became apparent, in despair
legal advice and redress were
sought. Weldon ]. Bailey, a ris-
ing young attorney of Phoenix,
began a suit for damages, which
has resulted in compromise Of
one suit and winning of another,
judgment for which is repre-
sented in execution and sale of
EX-Banker Sprunger's property.
Of the original boycotters who
signed that fatal agreement only
a few are left. Lawyer Bailey
has been successful and the paper
now has a larger circulation than
any small town weekly in the
state It's successful career as a
democratic publication has found
administrative favor in advertis-
ing and subscription from both
county and state. Our wall pa
per editions are still sought as
souvenirs. Our policy of replac-
ing the spaces vacated by adyer-
tisers- with a brief explanation
was great attraction as an in
genious method of combat and
did most effective work in win
ming our fight.

BOYCOTT STORY.
Recalled By Sheriff's Sale of
Banker Sprunger's For
mer Home.

On another page will be found
the notice of a Sheriff's Sale un-
der an execution of the property
of H. C. Springer, former banker
of Wickenburg. This is one of
the sequels to a foolish boycott
designed by Springer and A, r.
VoIk, former managing director
of the Brayton Comm'l Co. of
this city, to put Editor Watson
and his paper out of business. 1t
was grim failure and was the
opening of a breach that resulted
in exposition of certain facts
which eventually put Springer
and the fake bank out of busi-
ness instead of this paper. Many
readers of our popular weekly,
now several hundred more than
when the boycott was first
sprung, are not acquainted with
the story, therefore a brief re-
view of the case is not out of
place.
Records of the defunct Central
Bank of Wlckenburg and it's
parent, the Central Bank of
Phoenix, with several other
similar banks of Arizona, also
the offspring of P. K. Lewis, ct
ais. which are now still in the
hands of receivers, shows that
their conduct and methods were
illegal and brought disaster and
loss of over million dollars to
Arizona depositors.
About five years ago under
agreements sponsored by Volk,
Springer, and others in Wicken-
burg's business realm: our editor
was induced to move his printing
plant and family to Wickenburg
and print a weekly paper. The
outfit was moved here from Cali
fornia. Publication has been reg
ular and continuous ever since.
Patronage was satisfactory for
about three or four months.
Then came a shrinkage due to
pressure for a republican paper
that was impossible because the
editor was real democrat, born
and bred, like his father before
him. A threat to curtail adver-
tisjng unless it's policy against
the republican candidate was
stopped was of no avail When
local advertising dropped in con-
sequence, advertising was Sc
cured in Phoenix to continue it's
existence. Phoenix prices ad-
vertised in the Wickenburg pa
per was a nettlesome subject to
the then manager of the towns
biggest store. Remonstrances
and threats were of no avail.
One fatal day when the editor
was away, Messrs. Springer and
Volk, secretary and president re-
spectively of the Chamber of
Commerce, drew up the boycott
paper, stopping their advertise
ments and soliciting others to do
the same, which was sent thru
the mail. For months the in
come of the paper was less than
$50 a month. Farmers and SYM
pathizers brought beef, mutton,
and vegetables to encourage and
keep the paper going.
Unjust coercion and CONNER
cial persecution destroyed credit.

HIGHWAY NEWS.
Anent the New Improvements
Being Made on the Ap-
proach to the Bridge

Wickenburg can, and no doubt
does, feel proud of the substan-
tial structure that bridges the
Hassayampa, but why should it
remain in darkness these moon
less nights.
The approach to our bridge has
required no insignificant amount
of expense. In fact, it has cost
the highway department thou
sands of dollars, and now that it
is completed should not be used
as a driveway for herds of stock
to run up and down it's sloping
sides.
Now that our highway down
the Hassayampa is receiving it's
finishing touches, why not try to
help keep it looking respectable?
Posting of all manner of signs to
advertise private business does
not add to the scenic beauty of
any public thoroughfare, and
this road down the east side of
the Hassayampa can justly be
christened the scenic route to
California.
The highway department has
completed repairs to the approach
to the bridge on the east side of
the Hassayampa and will soon
finish rip-rapping the fill at the
abuttments and the cementing
of the dip at the junction of the
new road with the old one. An
other camp has been established
up north of town near the Bar
nette place, and extensive
changes are under way to con-
form the grade of the road to
! federal specifications.
Wickenburg seems to have
taken on new lease of life, and
the sound of the workmen's
hammers is now heard in our
land. The air is full of rumors
regarding various new enter
prises soon to be installed on both
sides of the river, and new equip
ment of various kinds is arriv-
ing daily. The auto travel has
doubled since the opening of the
shortcut road to Hot Springs
Junction. and with the eventual
completion Of through route
via Parker to Needles, making
connection with the established
auto road to Los Angeles, this
travel will constantly increase.
1t is hardly reasonable to expect
that any other road on that side
of the river will be built at pres
ent-in fact, very doubtful If any
federal aid could be expected
under existing regulations.

PUBLICITY KILLS.
SALVATION
CAPTAIN
Rheba Crawford Quits Broad
way Stand and Rejects :.
Theater Offers.
By EARL L. SHAUB.
Universal Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The first
woman who was ever driven from
Broadway by admiration went into
retirement today.
She is Captain Rheba Crawford.
whose appeal for the salvation OF
souls in the theatrical district made
her a well-known figure on the
thoroughfare OF bright lights. She
has "quit the Salvation Army"
Tears and heartaches accompanied
the pretty captains exit from a
life she has known since childhood.
Publicity that was brought about
by her charm and beauty and the
offers she has received to go on the
stage and films caused her to make
her decision.
"They don't understand" IL her
explanation for quitting.
Everything that is possible has
been done to make Captain Crawford
reconsider her resignation, it was
said today by Commissioner Estill,
head of the Salvation Army in the
East.
When the news Of her act reached
the theatrical world new offers were
made to her to appear on the stage
and screen. Another offer was OF
backing for an Evangelistic cam
paign throughout the country. She
refused them all and put her reason
thus:
:. ST am afraid it would hurt the
army, because they disApprove Of
theaters and couldn't hurt them"
Estill urged her to consider. He
asked her OF talk things over with
him. He said:
Far from encouraging her
resignation we have done every
thing to keep her here"
Her comment today was:
Bitter? Not in the least. I put
up a terrible fight against my
selfish side at first, when the army
objected to the personal publicity
I was getting and asked me to stop
1t. couldn't help it,. How could
I stop publicity? At first was a
little bitter and childish about not
being understood.
But then remembered how
Christ suffered and the beautiful
example of his life. My selfishness
passed away and left me only sad
and disappointed"
