Economy Causes
Half-Ce,,t Raise
On Old Envelopes
BY the Associated Press.


Government economy has pro
duced new variety of postage
stamp which will be sought by col
lectors who have been busy round
ing up specimens of the Morse
American, LeXington-Conc and
Pilgrim commemorative issues and
of those made necessary by the
increased postage rates.
The new variety is a surcharged
l l2-cent stamped envelope. Large
stocks of the 1-cent stamped en-
velope, rendered useless by the in
crease of the third-class rate to y
cents. will be surcharged in the
center of the stamp imprint with
the numerals 112, and the 1-cent
numerals will be obliterated with
four verticle bars. When the first
class postage rate was reduced from
j to 2 cents after the war. large
supplies of Scent stamped en-
Velopes were surcharged 2 cents.
Some 1-cent stamped envelopes
will be kept by postmasters for drop
letters at non-free delivery offices
and for inclosing books and cata-
logues of "a pages or more. still
mailable at the 1-cent rate for each
two ounces.

By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 2s.-At-
taches of the United States Naval
Academy dragged the Severn River
throughout last night in an attempt
to locate further trace of Lieut.. Ger
aid Selby, SO, of the Naval Medical
Corps, and Miss Lucille Merrill, 25, of
RoXbury. Mass, a student nurse.
Lieut.. Selby and the young woman
embarked on the river in a canoe
Tuesday night. Yesterday canoe
identified as theirs was found floating,
bottom up, and a coat picked up on
the shore nearby contained letters and
documents bearing the name of Selby
Persons living in the vicinity of the
river bank yesterday reported hearing
cries late Tuesday night.
Formerly of Georgia.
Lieut.. Selby's home was in Atlanta
Ga Both he and Miss Merrill were
DR.. w. T. Merrill, father of the girl
is attached to United States Veterans
Hospital, No. A, at RoXbury. Mrs.
Florence Selby, wife of Lieut.. Selby,
had been visiting friends in Washing
ton for several days when Lieut.. Sci
bys and Miss Merrill's disappearance
was discovered. She was in commu-
nication with the Naval Academy by
telephone soon after the discovery was
made. and was reported nearly pros
trated by shock and grief.
The case is similar to that of Lieut..
William S. B. Claude, L. S. N, and
Miss Harriet Green, both of Annapo-
lis. who were drowned in March, 1924,
when a storm caught them in the
river in canoe.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The hesitancy in the wool market
has been emphasized by the happen
ings of the week, notably by the cut
in wages in New England worsted
mills. Lack Of sustaining strength
at the Australian auctions is also a
feature of the situation. Bradford is
due to have. strike against a pro-
posed cut in wages. Wool men say
that the prosperity of the wool textile
industry depends upon reduction of
manufacturing costs, and that the re-
duction must come out of labor. Wool
has been selling moderately in the
Boston market. Prices have eased
little lin some directions, but the
gpades most wanted are unchanged.
The London wool sales end this week.
Good clearances are reported. as the
selling brokers have been feeding out
the woods most wanted by continental
buyers. Prices have declined a little
from the opening, except on the best
merinos. Wool values are fairly steady
in Australia, with America reported
buying freely of best wools. Supplies
of last years super warp woods are
being closed out rapidly. Very little
wool remains to be taken over in the
west, and therefore mills must turn to
foreign markets for additional sup
plies of fine wools. The wool trade
is looking forward to next weeks
openings Of lightweight goods, as it is
believed that a good volume of busi-
ness is necessary for the prosperity Of
the textile industry.

SUPERVISORS AGAINST THE
NEW AUTO LICENSE LAW

Douglas-Aft passing several
resolutions and voting to meet next
year at the call Of the president, I. p.
Mcbride of Globe, the Arizona super
visors and clerks association adjourn
ed its convention at Douglas early
Tuesday afternoon that the delegates
might attend the assessors conference
in Nogales. Albert Jones of Gila
county was elected vice-president just
before adjournment.
One of the resolutions adopted holds
that no warrants should be drawn
from the rs per cent road fund of any
county until the supervisors and the
state engineer come to complete
agreement in regard to the expendi-
lures.
Another motion passed favors the
legislature setting the county engi-
neers' salary at not more than $4,000
and the county clerks wage at maxi
mum of $4,000. This would mean an
increase of $500 in each case over the
present salary rate.
The new auto license law was at
tackled because it incurs an additional
expense on each county in the issu-
ance of permits and licenses and a
resolution was adopted calling for this
extra expense to be met out Of the re-
ceipts from the permit and license
business.

KILLING MOUNTAIN LIONS

Arizona hunters'Fne letter." 'This
is the end of our fiscal year and lion
work especially has been very salts
factory. We had set our average at
10 lions per month for the fiscal year
and the end Of June finds us with
two lions over. This means great
saving to the state of Arizona in live
stock and game. | feel that the state
of Arizona has got full value for the
money expended. had hoped to see
the last wolf taken from interior Ari-
zona before the end of the fiscal year
but it seems there are two wolves left.
Estimates by stockmen show that a
lion kills on the average of one deer
or calf a week This would mean
saving of about $500 head Of livestock
a year to this state. Estimating the
life of lion at ten years we have
a stupenduous number Of deer and
calves saved !"

LOSES PUBLIC LANDS BY
ORDER OF GOVERNMENT

-Four sections of public lands turned
over by President Mckinley to the
University Of Arizona and the United
States department of agriculture
many years ago, were withdrawn re-
Gently from the agricultural expert
mental reservation and restored to the
public domain for homestead purposes.
The land comprises 1850 acres and
is located 13 miles south of Tucson
along the Southern Pacific of Mexico
railroad right-of-way. The action of
the government was anticipated by
university and experiment station au-
thorities, DIR. G. Ell. Marvin said.
Under the decree Of President Nc
Kinley, the land was turned over to
the department of agriculture and the
jointly for use in range ex-
periments, but had never been used
for that purpose, and is not being used
at the present time. The four sec
tions were regarded as too small for
range experimental use, so were
never put into use, as there is no
other university or experiment station
land adjoining.
