Justice of the Peace Dan r. William

used violence upon the. person of
Leona Jackson, another Indian wom-

Behind the story of the alleged as

lies a story of Lizette's activities as

have absorbed the old-time western
gambling instinct and to have intro

ful personality, takes complete charge
of affairs when there is a game on,
acts as dealer and banker. takes a
rake-off of 25 per cent on all pots and
allows nobody to voice objections.

MOB OF MEXICANS AT BOR-

An unruly mob of Mexicans, num-
bering about 5000, gathered in front
Of the immigration offices in Nogales,
Sonora, Mexico, last week, staging a
demonstration against the deportation
of Carlos Silvas, American Indian,
wanted here for the brutal attack on
aged Mrs. Gertrude Moody of this
city.
As the hysterical mob held forth
near the international boundary line,
jeering the action of their police and
denouncing them for their apparent
attempt to deport the renegade In
dian, the constabulary of Nogales and
members of the sheriff's office waited
n the United States side. All officer
were fully armed but pacific nor was
there any number of people gathered
on this side of the line.
Silvas was taken to the Mexican inn
migration office in wire netted de-
livery car under heavy guard. Police
seeing the heated mob turned back
their car and after considerable trou-
BILE succeeded in breaking through the
pressing crowd and rushed their pris-
oner back to the jail.

NATURALIST SAYS DROUTH
WORST IN OVER 100 YEARS


According to Professor G. r. Bied-
erman, the scientist and naturalist OF
Carr Canyon, the late drouth was the
worst this country has seen in over
one hundred years, and Mr.. Bieder-
man scientifically calculates this be-
cause his observations show that the
wild walnut trees growing along and
in the foothills of the Huachucas from
the age of one year up to one hum
dred years old have died within the
last three years, the period of this
last drouth.
The death of the most trees occur
red in the last Is months previous to
July first.
The Stacking off of SHOWS and rains
each year actually starved the trees
to death, he says 1t has also been
noticed that hundreds of oaks died
during this drouth. The extent of this
drouth is proven because the natural
ist says many of the trees heretofore
in full vigor died, and checking of the
markings which determine the age of
trees showed the century old walnut
trees as among the dead
Professor Biederman reports that a
good many Of the improved walnut
trees will be planted next month on
the u S. military reservation.-To Tomb

All children will be compelled to

gales.
The measure is taken, according to
the health officer, to protect the
health of the people of Nogales and
to prevent a possible spread of the
dread disease.
1t is reported by DR.. Chenoweth
that little child died in one Of the
thickly settled canyons of Nogales,
Sonora. The death of the child was
attributed to diphtheria and during
the illness, it is stated, that no medi-
cal attention was rendered and that
neighborhood children had ingress
to the sick room.
Owing to the exposure Of so many
children, according to DIR. Chenoweth,
vaccination certificates must be pro-
duced before they viii be allowed to

Washington-A growing use for
American over-issue newspapers has
been found in the Far East where ma
tive shopkeepers utilize them as a
cheap and acceptable substitute for
the higher priced wrapping paper, ac-
cording to the paper division of the
department of commerce.
Amounting to 1850 tons in 1922,
valued at S445,088, exports of Ameri-
can over-issue newspapers to the va
rious countries of the Far East are
rapidly increasing, and rose to 29, ,581
tons, with valuation of 1892, 700 in
1924. The first six months of 1925
shows that shipments of 26,078 tons,
valued at $651 SOS, have already been
made. The largest purchasers of the
American product are Java and Hong
kong, but considerable quantities are
also shipped to the Philippine islands,
British India, and China, while small
er amounts go to other Far Eastern
countries.
Imports of over-issue newspapers
into Java and Madura during 1924
amounted to 14,176 short tons as
against 1887 tons in 1928 The
United States supplied nearly 80 per
cent of these imports, the remainder
coming from Great Britain, Singa-
pore, Hongkong and the Netherlands.
The value of over-issue newspapers
imported into Hongkong during 1924
amounted to S4S6,200 as compared
with $407,299 in the previous year.
Exports of this commodity during
1924 amounted to S442, 700, only about
per cent of the receipts being con-
sumed locally. Approximately 90 per
cent Of the importations were from
the United States, the remainder COM
ing principally from the United King
dom. Interior China, the Dutch East
Indies, and French Indo-China re-
ceived the greater part of these ship
ments.
A considerable transshipment trade
is carried on in Singapore, from where
shipments of over-issue newspapers of
British and American origin are made
to the Dutch East Indies, French Indo-
China, British Borneo, Oceania, and
other islands in the. South Seas. Large
quantities imported into the Straits
Settlements are also sold in Singa-
pore, Penang and throughout the Ma
Law peninsula. Exports from the
United States to this territory are
steadily increasing Publishers Aux

TESTING FOR DAM TO
IRRIGATE 1000 ACRES

A. B. Crandell and sons moved
their drilling rig to the site of the
proposed Showlow Irrigation Project
dam last Monday and are now sinking
a hole there to make test of the for
nation underlaying the dam site.
The Showlow project has been un-
der consideration by Snowflake and
Taylor for the past six years and with
the exception of mapping and plotting
.out the project no other action has
been taken until the present time.
We are informed by the committee
in charge that three different means
are available to finance the project in
case the test now being made proves
to be favorable.
The immensity of the project can be
seen when it is known that it will
bring between six and seven thousand
acres under cultivation, which is about
two and one-half times the total area
under cultivation in the entire Snow
flake and Taylor district.
The new land brought under culti-
vation will be that which lies directly
west of Taylor and Snowflake, extend
ing about four miles west and taking
in some Of the most fertile soil to be
found in this part of the state.
The survey of the project shows
that the water will be diverted to the
west side of the wash by a large sy-
phon near the Lois B. Smith property
on the hill directly south of Snow
flake.
The site of the proposed dam is To-
Gated just below what is known as
"Shone's Crossing" about seven miles
south of Snowflake Herald.
