"PAULDEN, NAME OF
NEW p. o. AT, MIDWAY

The United States postoffice de-
partment has approved the establish
ment Of a postoffice at the Midway
store on the Ashfork highway for the
closer accommodation and use Of the
residents of Big Chino valley and up
per Williamson valley.
The new postoffice will be known
as Paulden and o. T. Pawnell, pro-
prietor of the Midway store, has been
appointed postmaster.
In. the past, ranchers living in Big
Chino and vicinity had to go to Sim
mons for their mail, which in most
cases was considerable distance
The location of the new office, how
ever, is most convenient to every one
in that section, and due to the fact
that the Midway store is only a
stones throw from the Santa Fe
tracks, much better service is attain
able.

BANK FAILURE CAUSES
BIG SUIT BY SHEEP CO..


Claiming that checks endorsed by
member of the firm had been ac-
cepted by the Prescott State bank
after the officials of the institution
knew the bank was insolvent, the
Sawyer Atondo Sheep company
filed two petitions in division two
of the superior court before Judge
Richard Lamson to have their claims
against the bank scheduled as pre-
ferred ones.
In their petitions, the members Of
the firm, E. A. Sawyer, E. j. Wolfe
and I. Otondo, allege that on October
of last year, at time when the pc
titioners did not know the bank to be
insolvent, but when the bank officials
were cognizant of the fact Sawyer
endorsed a check for 1865, drawn
by j. A. Hammer of Riverside on the
and that bank held the check until
after the closing of the Prescott State
bank, when the amount stated was
transferred him to the closed institu
ton. The second claim, similar in ma
ture, alleges that Sawyer endorsed
check for $4326.32, drawn on r. NJ.
Cook of Kansas City, Mo-, on October
IA, last, the Kansas City Fidelity
Bank and Trust company holding the
check until after the failure of the
Prescott State bank. Both claims
have been allowed as ordinary ones,
the petitioners allege, but should be
preferred, on the grounds that the
bank officials knowing the institution
to be insolvent, the money should have
been accepted only as trust fund. "

the body by about so per cent. The
eyes. are swollen badly and can not be
seen. This disease is known to the
medical profession as emphysema and
the doctors are understood to be of
the opinion that such an extreme
case is rare. Swollen necks following
cases of broken ribs penetrating the
lungs have been known, but such ex-
tensive swelling makes this case ex-
ceptional.
1t is possible, the doctors believe,
that this condition applies to the brain
also.

Bill Roden says the most pathetic
thing he ever saw was back in the
early days when he and another old
timer were out on the desert and ran
across fellow who had got lost and
run out of food and finally, as a last
resort, had to kill his dog and cat
him. He was just finishing the last

he was crying as if his heart would
bust. They asked him why all the
wetness and he sobbed:
"Poor, dear Fido, how he would
have enjoyed gnawing these bones"
Rev. H. F. Softley says the most

concluding his call, the man and his
wife exclaimed in one breath:
"Wait, Mr.. Softley, you haven't

GASOLINE TAX
RECEIPTS ARE
ON INCREASE
Net results Of New Law, How
ever, Depend on Extent Of
Refund Demand

Gas tag reccipts in September were
Sl52,276. q report by State Treasurer
G.. A. Fisher shows.
OF this sum $52.276 was from the
old one-cent tax which had been due
from previous months and 100000
was from the new two-cent sales tax
approved BY the people at the state
election.
Although these figures show an
apparent large increase in the states
revenue from this source it cannot be
definitely determined what the net
result OF the new tax will be until
the demands for refunds begin to
come in. Many state officials are
frankly skeptical that it will produce
the revenue anticipated and express
the opinion that a two-cent tax un-
der the old lazy would have produced
much more money for bodybuilding
purposes. In September, 1925. gas
tax collections were $ll2,S63.44.
The records show that some firms
still owe taxes due under the one
cent law, Fisher said.
Fag Tax Receipts Increase
Receipts from cigarette taxes are
on the increase. From April to
October last year receipts were
Sl3O.685.60. For the same period this
year 1882, 1859 was received. Since
January this year $l80.640.26 has
been collected of which $23.956.65 was
for August and $24,011.79 for Sep
TENDER. The same months last year
showed e23. and $27,708.45 re-
speetively. Receipts for the nine
months Of operation last year were
@237,OOO. The l2-month period Is ex-
pected to show receipts in excess Of
$4,000.
The decrease in the monthly aver
age is attributed to the fact that
fewer farm laborers came into the
state this year than is customary.
