asked Penniman for n match, As
Penniman reached in his pocket for it,
the robber thrust revolver against
him, got in the back seat of the car
and directed Penniman where to drive.
He compelled the young man and
his companion TO get out and then
robbed them. As they stood in the
road the robbers pistol was dis

Penniman in the car and directed her
to drive back TO the city. Near the
place where he had approached them
he got out, jumped into automobile
parked at the curb and drove away.

"The responsibility for this situa-

FAILURE TO PUT ON ENOUGH
STAMPS WILL HOLD MAIL

The new postal regulations makes
it more expensive to send single cop
les of newspapers thru the mails than
ever before. An ordinary publication
like the Arizona State Miner or the
Five Points Star, of five columns and
eight pages each will cost no less
than two cents each. A newspaper
the size of the Phoenix Gazette or
Republican costs four and one half
cents for postage each issue-if sent
by private parties. It's only the little
old government pOstals that go for
one cent now. Picture postals cost
cents each and more will be charged
if they are placed inside envelopes
and sealed. Publishers are resorting
to the express companies for cheaper
rates for publications to be handled
by news agencies. Under the new
regulations publishers postage ex-
penses are almost doubled and sub
scr1ptions are already taking a sky
ward tendency, The rule of "all the
traffic will BEAR seems to have been
adopted by the new postals regula-
t1ons so as to help Uncle Sam out
with his immense aerial and other
postal expenses Subscribers who
have paid in advance for newspapers
are saving money, because postage is
more than the original subscription
cost Of the papers they send away.

WALNUT DAM BEGUN

w. A Parish of Los Angeles, also
well known all over Arizona, is the
engineer in charge of the project of
building the Walnut Dam, across the
Hassayampa river above Wickenburg.
The work is being promoted by Jo-
seph Wittmann and son of 469 Fifth
Avenue, New York. The immediate
work in haand is the construction of
a bypass tunnel through which the
water will be diverted while construc-
tion of the main dam will be con-
summated. The project is said to be
capitalized at $3,000,000, and all rights
which belonged to the old dam which
went out 80 odd years ago with great
loss of life, appear to have been re-
covered, though it was rumored two
years ago that they had lapsed. The
new enterprise having got under way
at last, is sending throb of new &C.
tivity all along the Hassayampa,
where many riparians have acquired
ranches to say nothing about the var
iOus placer mines which will be en-
abled to begin producing real yellow
gold by aid of the impounded water.
When the construction work is COM
pleted, it will be followed by electri-
cal installations for light and power
all along the whole region tributary
to Wickenburg, which just now is at
tracing attention Of mining capital
from all parts of the East and West.

ORIGINATED IDEA TO CHANGE
NAME OF SALT RIVER
VALLEY

The following taken from the Wick
enburg Miner Of May "a, 1924, may
have been instrumental in a way for
the wave of sentiment which has
crystallized into the present move
ment to change the name of Salt
River Valley. Two years ago, also,
the same suggestion was made by
Editor Watson in a letter to promi-
nent realtors of Phoenix, but without
avail at that time:
What is your impression of Salt
River Valley?" l asked an Eastern
passenger on the Santa Fe.
Never saw it, but from it's name
I naturally formed the idea that it
was a great place for marshy lands,
covered with alkali and salt grass,
like the region around the Great Salt
Lake. was the reply.
Herein is suggestion that the
Salt River Valley has been misnamed
that is gradually Offsetting all the
energetic boosting of it's people.
First impressions are not always cor
rect, and in this case what is Phoenix
doing to correct it? Why not change
the name to Maricopa Valley?

MAWKISH NEWSPAPER SENTI.
MENTALITY

That fawntng newspaper policy of
silence" was inaugurated by COM
mercially minded publishers for busi-
ness reasons. They want to "get the
money" so to speak, and refuse to
take note of other peoples question
able methods whether they are good
for the community or not. Some pub
lie officials are the same way. They
want to retain their popularity and,
hence, tacitly allow laxity of law
enforcement, which otherwise would
tend to better the morale of business
and commercial affairs. But it's diff.
ferent with our editor He is 70
years of age. and loves a contest in
which he can lambaste malefactors
and eXplOiterS of humanity. His ex-
pose of crooked Arizona bankers, in
which he stood alone for two years
against the financial crooks of the
Phoenix Central Bank and it's various
branches, didn't make him any money
but it secured grand jury indictments
against the looters, who were later
freed by crooked legal procedures.
There's something to live for in this
old world of ours besides money.

LAND OFFICE NOTES

Senator Cameron's resolution for a
committee to investigate administra-
ton of public lands has borne fruit
and the committee met this week at
Washington. Threatening disappear
ance of the cattle industry was the
insistent cause for immediate relief
because of the existing drought on
cattle ranges. Waving Of all grazing
fees for balance of 1925 was a fea-
ture OF the meeting.
Senator Cameron has been indefat
iguably engaged in giving expression
TO sentiment that hopes to relieve
the West of bureaucratic control OF
the public domain. He has also rec
commended legislation to relieve un-
satisfactory conditions among home
stead entrymen, cattlemen, and users
Of the public domain to provide bet
ter facilities for protecting and tran
Sacting business with the government.
SENATE COMMITTEE STARTS IN
SIXTY DAYS FOR WEST
The special senate committee au-
thOrized to investigate public lands
will start westward for it's inquiries
in about so days, according to a tele-
gram received this week from Sena-
tor Ralph II. Cameron by John r.
Towles, registere of the general land
Office in Arizona, with headquarters
in Phoenix. The special committee
was authorized by a resolution intro
duced by Senator Cameron.
Preliminary preparations for the ex.
tensive investigation now are being
made, Senator Cameron said A staff
of experts is being assembled to ac-
company the senators on the special
committee. The exact date of the
committees departure for the West
cannot yet be announced.
The hearing is in line with policy
of ascertaining just what legislation
is needed to aid the cattle industry
and particularly the cattlemen who
have been hardest hit in sections
which have experienced a severe
drought. The committee has as part
of its duty the making of recommen-
dations leading to relief Usually the
recommendation of the special board
which has investigated carefully is
followed closely by the senate as a
whole, it is said.
1t is virtually certain, Mr. Towles
SAID, that the committee will hold
several hearings in Arizona, at such
places and times that the cattlemen
of every section will be able to pre-
sent their case before the body
CAMERON URGES HELP FOR ARI-
IONA INDIANS
Relief to the Indians on the Pima
and Papago Reservations in Arizona
from drought conditions is being
strenuously urged by Senator Ralph
H. Cameron of Arizona, according to
press dispatch from Washington,
D. G. The Indians have not been
able to properly farm their lands on
account of the drought conditions.
President Coolidge is being asked by
Senator Cameron to authorize an ex-
penditure of 100000 on road con-
struction within the San Carlos irri-
cation system. The expenditure of
this money, Senator Cameron asserts,
would provide relief for thousands of
Indians in the stricken area.

The Phoenix Railway company has
filed notice of abandonment of it's
city and rural lines with the Arizona
Corporation Commissioners, to occur
on October 20. This finally paves
the way for the new bus system to
begin it's service covering the same
routes heretofore used by the street
cars. The granting of a franchise to
the new company will hinge upon reg
ular schedule of operations and a
reasonable fare. Single fares have
been quoted at 10c with the usual
transfer privileges, but a commuters
price of much less will be expected.
