ADJ. GEN. HARRIS AGAIN
CITED FOR ACCOUNTING

Col. E. p. Conway, commanding
officer of the 158th infantry, Ari-
zona national guard, on behalf of the
state of Arizona, has brought suit in
the Maricopa county superior court
against Charles w. Harris, adjutant
general of the state, for the recov-
cry of $4,000 said to have been APP
propriated from the national guard
funds about the time the United
States entered the World war. The
suit is to compel the restoration of
the money to the funds of the ma
tional guard.
Colonel Harris sets forth that his
responsibility lapsed on clearance by
a board of survey, a decision APP
proved by Governor Hunt, command
er in chief of the national guard.
Colonel Conway demands an account
ing and specific showing of the use
of the money. Colonel Harris has
been in office as adjutant general
through all of Governor Hunts
terms. The case will be tried during
the fall term of court.

OLD TERRITORIAL PRISON
GIVEN TO CITY OF YUMA

Among the sights offered a tour
ist at Yuma is the old Territorial
prison, set high on Prison Hill, just
back of the new Southern Pacific
station. The thick adobe walls
still are very much in evidence, as
are the cell buildings within, and the
guard house and the old superinten-
dents home on the bluff, just above
the Colorado River. Now is to be
the preservation Of the old prison
cemetery, in which the headstones
bear only the numbers of the prison
ers who died while under sentence.
In this old burying ground lie the
mortal remains of some of the most
notorious of southwestern despera-
does, with inclusion of Jack Swilling,
who founded the Salt River Valley,
and of Jake Laustennau, the leader
of a great insurrection at Morenci.
Many of these old-timers were not

PEOPLE VS.. THE HUNT
MACHINE SAYS CLARK

Speaking at Parker, E S. Clark, re-
publican candidate for governor, de-
clared the present campaign was not
a contest between individuals but a
struggle between "a well organized
political minority and the bulk of the
people to see whether or not state
government should be of, by and for
the people, or solely in the interest
of a political machine"
Maintaining Of this machine" he
declared, 'was in great part respon-
sible for the heavy burden of taxa
ton now upon the people, and it also
was responsible for making Of Col
orado River development political
football instead of an economic prob
lem to be met and solved for the best
interest of the state
The speaker reiterated his firm op-
position to the Swing-Johnson bill
and the Boulder Canyon dam, and de-
clared against any ratification of the
Colorado river compact until an
agreement had been signed with Cal
ifornia, Nevada and the Federal gov
ernment guaranteeing in perpetuity
all Of Arizona's legal rights both as
to water and power.
He expressed the belief that Cali
fornia and Nevada would recognize
and grant Arizona's rights if afford
ed the opportunity in conference,
thus avoiding long drawn out and
costly litigation and said the danger
Of relying upon the law of prior ap-
preparation, which he charged the
present state administration had con-
sistently favored since development of
the river became a possibility, lay
in the fact that California and own
ers of Mexican lands were fast APP
propriating the water now running
idly through Arizona. IL Arizona's
rights were not recognized in such
conference, then every resource of
law would be resorted to in order to
enforce those rights, if he were gov
ernor, he declared.

early this spring. The drilling ma
chine came directly from Oklahoma
oil fields and will drill for oil just
south of the village. University ex-
perts and others interested in the oil
findings are on the local ground to

down data during the process Of drill
ing.

abroad, in Lake Lillian The arrival
of the machine aroused the curiosity
Of hundreds who came many miles to
watch the curious sight. Preparations
where made to unload the machine
and begin actual work at once, while
the curious bystanders unused or talk
ed of the possible oil strikes for Lake

low the surface Of the earth. Small
holes were. drilled down to the depth
Of seven to twelve feet and the pure
gasoline which gushed into the holes,

GET TRY. AT oRPHEUM

Sunday Aug. 8, Miss Mildred Geut-
ing of this city and Miss Molly Thor
son will start a two weeks engage
ment at the Hennepin-O rpheum Thea
tire, Minneapolis, and the Palace
theatre, st. Paul. This will be in the
nature Of 'try-out" and if they
make good will be rendered con-
tract for string of 100 theatra
owned and controlled by the Orpheum
management. The young ladies first
attracted the attention of the Orph-
cum management when they were
substituted for a musical act at the
Pantages, Minneapolis several weeks
ago. The act is a dainty musical one.
Two grand pianos are placed on the
stage and the young ladies play and
sing different songs simultaneou in
perfect harmony. The program con-
sists of semi-classical and popular
selection, with a bit of jazz introduc-
ed for encores. Sank Centre friends
of Miss Geuting are confident the
act will make good. Miss Thorson
will spend the next two weeks in this
city rehearsing and whipping the act
into finished shape. -

the very foundation of American insti-
tutions.
In this. our struggle for equal rights.
we demand of our representatives I'm
the legislative halls more than passive
support. We must have loyal and mill
liant support of a type that will not
hesitate to take the offensive, disre-
gard party ties, resist administrative
fight until the principle of equality for
agriculture has been vindicated and
established.
We appreciate the valuable, intelIi-
gent and unselfish assistance in Agrf-
cultures fight for equality of Frank
Lowden, Vice President Dawes and
other men of national prominence who
have so courageously supported the
Federal Farm Board Bill.
We are also grateful to the press OF
theNorthwest who have championed
our cause, and specially commend the
splendid support Of the St. Paul Pio-
largely instrumental in exposing the
selfish designs of Eastern propaganda
in the West, and in bringing Western
business interests to q realization Of
the common danger which is confront
ing them in the impending bankruptcy
Of agriculture.
We welcome to comradeship in our
contest for equality for American ag-
riculture the cotton growers coopera-
tive associations OF the cotton states
and the American Cotton Growers Ex-
ducers in the South our cordial ana
vigorous cooperation in making conn
mon cause with them for square

FARM CONFERENCE

moralizing situation that the agri-
cultural and business interests of the
West, North and South are uniting In
their demands that the protective sys-
tenn be extended to the farmer and
that existing tariff schedules on agri-
cultural products be now made effec-
tive for him.
These demands were embodied in the
Federal Farm Board Bill which was
defeated at the last session of Congress
in both the House and Senate by mar
row margins. This legislation was de-
signed to make effective existing tar
IFS by the maintenance OF domestic
level Of prices, within tariff limits, in
dependent OF world prices governing
the exportable surplus. A charge
known as the equalization fee" was
to be made against the commodity
benefited to absorb the loss sustained
in the sale of the exportable surplus.
The measure has been pronounced eco
nomically sound and practicable by
unbiased and leading economists.
We unreservedly endorse this legis-
-iative proposal and will vigorously
employ every legitimate means to Sc
sure it's enactment, and we pledge our
support to those who are sponsoring
this legislation before Congress. We
call upon the business interests Of the
West to take q definite stand for this
legislation and suggest that our COM
mon interests are so much at stake
that there is no room for argument as
to where our people should stand in
this critical hour. This 10 no time TOR

SOCIAL EVENTS

THE OFFICERS, TEACHERS
and scholars of the Congregational
church Sunday School enjoyed their
annual picnic Thursday last at Fairy
Lake. The weather was ideal for the
event and about 200 were in attend
ance. Several Of the men OF the
church also came out for the noon
lunch and stayed to enjoy some of
the events. The bathing, which was
superintended by Miss Fay Parker
was big attraction and young and
old took advantage of the conditions
to enjoy a swim. Twenty-Five auto
mobiles and truck were required to
convey the crowd and the provisions
to and from the grounds. 1t took
nearly 500 cones to satisfy the chill
dren and the grown ups but. every
body enjoyed it and voted it one Of
the very best picnies, the school has
had. a'zs .-'s<.s ~.
