REV. MARTIN HEARS
DEMOCRATIC SESSION

Rev. w. L. NJ tin attended the clos
ing sessions of the democratic nat
ional convention Wednesday evening
That is, he sat in his study at home,
and listened to the speeches being
made for vice-presidential nominee,
heard the band play nun Der of

applauded speech or a statement
from the chair.
About 8 o'clock Wednesday eve

gions for amusement, quite by acci-
dent picked up the broadcasting from
Convention Hall. The messages were
amplified in Chicago, thus explaining
how they were so audible here. At
that time it was IL o'clock there, and
speeches were being made on behalf
of Barry, Bryan, Walsh and others,
most of which Rev. Martin heard.
At 9 o'clock here, IL there, he heard
the uproar preceding an hours re-
cess by the convention. AS the eve
ming passed, static interference grew
less, and the messages became clear
er and clearer until, Mr.. Martin says,
it seemed the speakers were no far
ther away than in the next room.
At 1870 he heard the declaration
of Mr.. Bryans nomination for vice
president, and Immediately after the
motion for adjournment sine die and
the second to the motion: In less

Mr.. Richards left his home in

Gated at Joseph City, living there ever

MINES PAY BIG SUMS
IN TAXES TO STATE

The Arizona Industrial congress has
compiled figures showing that $4,000
individuals, or a fourth of Arizona's 5
population, are dependent upon the
states mining operations, with 10000
men actually employed in % produc-
ing mines, in seven counties. The
payrolls of these mines amount to
$29,000000 year. Comparison is
made with the agricultural industry,
in which the last census reported s.
975 farmers, while 1926 persons were
listed as engaged in manufacturing.
In all, the mines, through added
activities, commercial, railroads, etc,
are believed to turn $4,000 900 year
into circulation within the state, with
special note of large purchases of
agricultural products. Mines alone
pay AZ per cent of the states taxation,
contributing about $7,500,00O year
toward the upkeep of the state and
county governments. In addition are
the taxes on mine railroads and real
ty and personal property in mining
towns, including banks and business
houses.

Judge Jacobs entered a judgment
for the sum of $13,87265 and costs.
The contract for the bridge was
awarded to Louis F. Mesmer and his
partner, in 1916, the contract price
being $4,000 On completion the
county paid a part of this sum and
later Mesmer entered suit for the al
legged balance of SIT 1896.
The case dragged for several years
in the court until the appointment Of
Judge Jacobs when in 1922, the plain
tiff urged trial of the case. Legal
points were irOned out before the
court and Judge Jacobs took the case
under advisement f)r some time, rem
dering his verdict as above.

Los ANGELES
WOULD BLOCK
DEVELOPMENT

The city of Los Angeles has applied
to the California division of water
rights for permit to divert 1900 Gu
bic feet of water per second from the
Colorado river in Riverside county.
Edward Hyatt, Jr., acting chief of the
division, announced that the applica-
tion had been made
An idea of the size of the project
which the city has indicated it's in
tention of undertaking may be gain
ed from the fact that the capacity of
the Owens valley system, through
which it gets its present supply, is
only 400 cubic feet per second
The purpose of the proposed water
diversion, according to the applica-
ton for the permit is ''to supply wa
ter to the city of Los Angeles and its
inhabitants for domestic and mu-
nicipal purposes" Under the terms
of the application, Hyatt said, none
of the diverted water could be used
for electric power development.
1t probably will be many years be-
fore the permit is granted, Hyatt
said. The application asks for two
years in which to make necessary
surveys and complete detailed plans
for the project, and until these de-
tails are known the state division of
water rights cannot act upon the ap-
plication.
Asked whether there was any con-
nection between this application and
the contest over the proposed Boul-
der Canyon dam project, Hyatt said
L
vert water at the point requested, it
might be able to obtain injunctions
against the storing of water above
that point, both the sites of the pro-
posed Boulder Canyon dam project
and the sites of numerous proposed
private enterprises are above the
point at which Los Angeles seeks to
divert water from the Colorado river.
