LOVELY NIECE OF MRS. r. X.
O'BRlEN DIES

For the second time in the past two
months the angel of death descended
upon the family of Mr.. and Mrs. C. H
Tweed, formerly of Ray and Phoenix
but now of Los Angeles.
Word reached Mrs A. H. Hammer
Sunday that Miss Alice Tweed, her
niece, and daughter of the C. H.
Tweeds, Sr., passed away at her
home that day, from effects of diph-
iberia.
A younger daughter, Virginia,
aged six, died of the same trouble
on May 18th. The loss of this beau
tiful child was a heavy blow and the
passing of Alice has filled the cup
of sorrow to Overflowing for the whole
family.
Alice was a highly talented girl
and was rapidly forging ahead as a
classical dancer. She possessed a
voice of unusual promise and was to
have been trained under the personal
supervision of Madame Emma Calve
when sixteen years of age. Deceas-
ed was born in Phoenix fifteen years
ago and later moved with her parents
to Hayden, where her talents brought
her before the public on many occa-
sions. She was a girl of charming
personality and loved by all who
knew her. She was sister of DR..

Low Prices and Proper Advertising

Low Prices and Proper Advertisinu
Sells Goods.-The store that is popu-
lar always appears at its best. The
clerks are courteous, the stock is
fresh and inviting Well filed shelves
are carefully busted and freshened
regularly by new stock the shelf
worn goods regularly eliminated and
sold over the bargain counters. The
wise business manager looks after
these details with a sense of personal
attractiveness in the appearance of
his employees. That same sense of
detail in the appearance of the store
window displays and it's environments
is also worked out in the attractive
advertising matter and stationery put
out by the store. Popularity in trade
is manifested by creating new inter
est in what store has to sell by
well worded descriptive advertising
which compels attention. An adver-
tisement in newspaper that is never
changed except when the publishers
get ashamed of it will not draw trade
and creates the opinion there is moth
ing to sell, that business is poor and
stock uninteresting. Let the people
know what you have to sell and fire.
quently quote prices SO that those
who have money may note the price
changes from time to time. A store
that attracts trade is one that trys
to interest economical buyers It's
the small 10, Is and 25c prices that
attract the money these days because
they attract the bulk of trade, while
high priced goods must await the GUS
toner to come along who has the
money.

WHY SHOULD WATER GO TO
WASTE?

But while we hesitate, the settlers
in Old Mexico are digging canals and
applying the waters of the Colorado
to beneficial use in irrigation. They
and the power trust are the only gain
ers by delay.-Messenger.
Why the worry? All water that the
states above the border don't use is
available, or should be, to anyone that
can use it. The peculiar position that
Arizona lies in is the fact that the
State of Arizona, as riparian owner,
has filed upon waters of the Colorado
and is unjustly deprived from its use
for development by restraining in
junction of the federal court presided
over by Judge Jacobs. For what pur-
pose? Because of an adverse, biased,
prejudiced report emanating from the
federal power commission, majority
of whose engineers are favoring de-
velOpment by the great western power

TALES OF THE OLD FRONTIER
Free Thompson, Driver of the Over
land Stage

Society at the horse show would
never have acclaimed him a whip
par excellence, but if you had ever
ridden atop that rattling old Concord
stage coach with Free Thompson you
wouldn't have cared what society said.
For it took man who knew more
than the correct way to hold the reins
to run one of the Well-Butterfield
stages on the Overland trail back in
the days when they were the only
means of transcontinental travel
The stage drivers life was one
which proved the quality of his cour-
age as we'll as his ability to drive. If
he escaped going over the edge of
some dizzy height on a dark night or
avoided falling into the hands of the
road agents, there was always a band
of Indians waiting just around the
next corner for hair-lifting party
The pony express rider could es-
cape on his fleet-footed mount, but
the stage driver rode on a tOp-heavy
cumbersome, four-wheeled vehicle,
drawn by six horses. And when the
Indians shot down his leaders all that
remained for him was to seek what
ever shelter he could find and fight
to the death.
That's what Free Thompson did
down in STEMS Pass, gap in the
mountains near Lordsburg, N. NJ, one
day more than sixty years ago and the
men of the Southwest still like to
tell how we'll he fought. STEMS Pass
was an ideal place for an ambush
and Cochise, chief of the Chiricahua
Apaches was quick to recognize the
fact. So one blazing midsummer day
he was lying in wait with 600 war
riors for the west-bound coach, driven
by Thompson, to appear.
Thompson and his six companions
were prepared for just such a recep-
ton. They had late model rifles and
an abundance of ammunition. And
they had the hearts of men to whom
odds of 100 to are as nothing.
Thus doubly armed they rode into
the death trap
Before the horses were shot down
Thompson managed to get the coach
short distance from the road to a
little hill where there were a few
sheltering rocks. Here under the
blazing sun they opened fire upon the
Gordon of savages that gradually
frightened around them and for three
days and nights, without food, with
out water and without hope of es-
cape they fought
OF course, the Apaches got them
at last. But before they did Free
Thompson and his men exacted a
toll of $50 Apache lives.-Exchange

combine instead of by the State of.
Arizona. Water belongs to the land
and the riparian owner who does not
or cannot, use it, should let it pass
on to those who can use it? Why
should the water in states above Ari-
zona be bottled up by power combines
to her detriment?

Weakening the Democrats by Gre
ating Discontent.-Some months ago
we predicted exclusively in Arizona
that the next presidential election
would be by an electoral college
named by Congress. Lafollette, run
ming Independent, narrows the race
to Coolidge, conservative Davis
is also conservative and with La
toilette, who is termed a radical, the
republican forces will unite on an
overwhelming campaign against radi-
calism, using the machinery of law
and government in a big camouflage
to suppress 1t as a menace to the
nation. Such a move will incite dis.
content of labor, disrupt the demo
Gratis (mostly common people) and
leave the duel between Coolidge and
LafOllette. This is not pleasant out
look, but history repeats itself occa-
sionally and this is especially a
throat-cutting campaign. Such a dead
lock narrowed down to the electoral
college will cast the vote by states,
only rs being required to elect. With
23 republican state Coolidge will re-
quire only or three other states,
while Davis would need to get five
or more of the evenly divided states.
If deadlock occurs in the senate,
there would be no president, and the
secretary of state would fill the pres
idential chair. For vice-president the
choice would naturally be Gov. Bryan
and would stand a better chance than
Davis. To elect, forty-nine votes are
required. There are fifty-one Repub-
licans in the present senate, forty
three Democrats and two Farm-Labor-
ties. If all lthe Republicans voted
for General Dawes he would be elect
ed vice-president and with the dead
lock in the house still obtaining, he
would become president. If three Re-
publicans were to absent themselves
there would be no election so long
as all other senators voted their party
choice.

BUSY TIME FACED
BY GRAND JURY
Vandalism at EIks Home
Among Cases.

When the Marion County grand
jury convenes Tuesday, after a
months vacation, plenty of work
on important cases will confront the
six citizens whose duty it is to re-
turn indictments charging crime.
Among the cases Prosecutor Will
liam H. Remy is known TO have
under consideration for early presen-
tation to the jurors is the vandal-
ism at the new Elks' home. Remy
said at the time no efforts would be
spared to run the vandals to earth.
1t is surmised, from the prosecutors
numerous conferences with Federal
officials and others, the grand jury
will be asked to make a sweeping
investigation of the affair.
A case which will certainly be pre-
scented is that of Milton Daley, Chi
cago millionaire's son who got into
trouble here during the last 500-mile
auto race on charges of cashing
fraudulent checks and stealing an
Indianapolis auto.
Prosecutor Remy said the hotel
and storekeepers who brought the
charges of wooden checks" against
the boy. a sophomore at Illinois Uni
versity. tore up the checks when the
money was made good.
Charges of shortage In State high
way accounts will also be laid be-
fore the grand jury.

Though Saturdays receipts of
5000 hogs at the local yards were
larger than usual. prices advanced
10000 per cwt., and the bulk of
sales was made at S10.35. Demand
was unusually strong for the week
end, but this was probably urged
on by the holiday Monday. The ex-
IRENE top was 1910. All other
classes and weights moved at 1895.
Pigs were higher at S6Q9. Sows

and $S.25@S.50 for roughs. There
were SAB holdovers. The market
for the week has fiuctuated from
9S5 to S10.S5. A gain Of 20 cents
was recorded over the start Mon
day. Trading has been strong with
medium weight and lightweight hogs
in the foreground. Demand has not
been very active for heavyweights.
In nearly every case the top prices
have been paid for good bacon hogs
weighing around 200 pounds. I'M
official receipts for week are $4,000,
compared with $4,000 the week be-
fore and 1900 the same week last
year.
Cattle trading was steady with
100 offered. Failure of Wilson &
Co., and their subsequent withdrawal
from the cattle market was the rul-
ing factor in the trade for the week.
Large receipts remained unsold and
reductions Of CSC TO 81 were regis
tered ct the local market. Demand
was practically at zero for heavy
grades of cattle. Prime light heif-
ers were fully steady. some dealers
even paying Is cents higher. These
were quoted at $40. Yearling steers
sold largely at $40. Choice light
weight steers were quoted at $40.
Cows were little in demand and were
quoted at Sc top.
Dealers wished to dispose of light
run of calves in a hurry and 81 was
added to prices, making a top Of

with good veals selling all the way
