APIA, Samoa, June 30.--From the
isolated coral atoll of Palmerston Is
land, lying between Samoa and Rara-
tonga, news has just reached Apia of
a tidal wave, which three months ago
swept over the island, destroying
practically all property and reducing
the inhabitants to most primitive con-
dition. Only one life was lost.
Palmerston is peopled by about 100
descendants of William Marsters, a
British adventurer, who settled there
in 1852 with his Polynesian wives.
Its destitute condition was revealed
only when Sir Maui Pomare, on the
New Zealand government steamer
Hinen1oa touched there on an inspec-
ton tour. Supplies were landed and
a relief ship ordered Immediately
from Raratonga.
All houses were swept away except

except 20 chickens, five pigs and a

without even fishing lines and hooks,
but they caught fish with their hands
and experimenting this meager fare
with fallen cocoanuts, managed to
subsist until the Hinemoa arrived.
The people received their rescuers
with smiling faces and songs of well

engaged in? And, now that the town is BEGIN

that the first newcomer is setting up in the very
line OF business that you have somehow come to

1t is in fact a compliment to your own iudg-

1t is your greatest chance to boost your town.

McDONALD MAKES RECORD CAP
TURE

Before the owners We're aware thar
their cars had been stolen, Tempes s
city marshal, Ralph Mcdonald, had
them in tow at Papago Park He
trailed the auto thieves to the park, a
distance of three miles, having dis
covered the suspicious characters in
front of the asylum The thieves
abandoned both cars leaving each car
mile apart, which kept Mcdonald
somewhat busy with both cars under
his supervision. That night with the
assistance of the Phoenix police de-
partment, one of the men was cap
tured and the next night the other
two. 1t is stated that this capture is
very important as it will probably
clear up the mystery of many other
stolen cars.

WAY is CLEARED FOR NEW ROAD

An important meeting Of the Val
ley Boulevard Improvement Associa-
ton, an organization which has for
one of it's aims the opening OF Wash
ington street from Sixteenth street to
the Tempe highway, will be held at
1880 o'clock this evening in the court
room of division No. of the Super
ior Court.
The movement to open the road to
Tempe has gained considerable head
way, according to the committee in
charge, which states that all rights
of way have been secured. A ma
jority of the Iandholders, it was said,
donated the 100-foot strip necessary
without cost In several instances,
however, the road cut through prop
erty in such a manner that the owner
felt that some compensation should
be given. The committee has made
adjustments in every such case and
has made the necessary settlements
with the property owners, it is stated.
Petitions are now being circulated
asking the county to declare the new
road a county highway. The road
starts at Sixteenth and Washington
streets and runs nearly due east until
it strikes the state highway one
quarter mile north of Tempe bridge.
Funds necessary to carry on the
development down to the present
have been donated by citizens, the
coromittee states. 1t is now planned
to fence the road on each side and
70 huild the necessary temporary
h~idges. The road. according to the
committee. is ideally located, and will
open up a valuable part of the coun-
trv and be of material assistance in
rardIfng the ever-increasing traffic
between, Phoenix. Tempe and eastern

DRIVE BEING MADE TO SECURE
LARGEST COUNTY REGISTRATION

An unusual drive is being made to
secure the largest possible number of
registered voters for the September
primary and the general state cleo
aion that follows it. County Record
er w. H. Linville calls attention to
the important fact that those who
register for city election are not there
by qualified to vote in state primar-
les or general state elections.
At the last state election number
of voters with city registrations were
badly disappointed to find that they
were not allowed to vote. Mr.. Lin
vile is desirous that this mistake
may not again be made.
He now has workers out in all of
the 95 precincts of the county to reg
lister the voters by house to house
canvass. In the past two days more
than 5000 voters have been regis
tered. In 1924 $4,000 voters were
registered in this county. He expects
to increase this registration to 10000
this summer.
Citizens may register UP to August
27 for the primary. Then on Septem-
ber IA registration lists will again. be
opened for further registration Of eli
gibles to vote, at the general state
election. All men and women q
years of age who have lived in Ari-
zona for one year or in their precinct
for 80 days may register.
