GOVERNOR STILL AWFULLY
WORRIED THAT ARIZONA'S
HERITAGE WILL BE LOST

eve are just beginning to fight the
pact and desire as little friction be-
tween the states as is possible when
the pact is dead" Governor Hunt
states in a telegram sent last week
to Senators Henry F. Ashurst and
Ralph H. Cameron, representative
Carl Hayden and representative Adj
olson T. Smith, chairman of the COM
mittee on irrigation of arid lands in
the lower house of congress, protest
ing against the apparent disregard of
Arizona's rights in the hearings on
the Swing johnson irrigation bill be-
fore the house committee.
The governor declares in the tele-
gram that the California lobbyists"
and representatives, as we'll as power
trust officials, seem to consider Ari-
zona's interests in the Colorado un-
worthy. He also charges that Secre-
tary of the Interior Hubert Work, in
his report urging the naturalization
of the river, is utilizing his position
to further the aims of Colorado.

FARES ON MAIN LINE
RAILROADS MUST BE
REDUCED BY APRIL 2S

All mainline railroad fares in Ari-
zona must be reduced to the three
cent basis rate by April %, 1924, in
line with the recent ruling of the in
erstate commerce commission reduc-
ing passenger fares on interstate bus
mess, it is announced by Amos A.
Belts, chairman of the Arizona Cor
poration commission.
The decision of the interstate COM
mission denying the petition of the
railroad for rehearing of the three
cent passenger fare case was regard
ed throughout Nevada, New Mexico
and Arizona, those affected, as the
most sweeping passenger rate victory
every won by any state before the in
terstate body. The saving to Arizona
alone will be $2,000,000 per year, it
is estimated.

LOOT IN SAFE ROBBERY

Two bandits at 4:30 o'clock Monday
morning blew the safe in the Sam
Sawai store in lower Miami and es-
capped with 5000. Five hundred dol
lars of the amount belonged to G. H.
Thorner, who runs the meat market
in the store. The door was blown
off the SAFE The robbers, who had
entered the store through skylight,
grabbed two rolls of money and ran
towards Claypool.
Gus Peterson, night Waterman at
a nearby pool hall, was the first to
give the alarm. He went to the
front door and saw man standing in
front of the store. Soon he heard
the terrific explosion and saw two
men running from the store.
He called county officers who were
on the ground a few minutes later.
A finger print expert also is working

stocked with deer from the Kaibab
forest.

ASH CREEK DISTRICT
PEACH CROP KILLED

Bradford Larremore, rancher of
the Ash Creek district, about 18 miles
southeast of Dewey, was Humboldt
visitor yesterday. He was accom-
panied by his wife, the two making a
visit to their daughter Rhoda, an en-
ploye of the Humboldt postoffice.
Mr.. Larremore said the peach crop
for the season in the Ash Greek dis
trict has been killed by the recent
cold snap, but that some of the plums
and a few apricots probably will bear
a so per cent crop. He said that cat
tie are dying off on account of the
condition of the range, which has not
vet recovered from the dry months of
the winter, and that he is forced to
feed the better part of his herd un-
til the range makes grass and green
shrubbery.-Courier.
