For An Indefi-
mite Period

Last Saturday the Indian
Irrigation Service laid off
over 100 employees for an
indefinite period. 1t will
undoubtedly be for several
months at least.
This will be a severe blow
not only to the persons in
volved but to the business
interests of Coolidge as we'll.
The government has been
urging the states, cities and
individuals to use every eff
fort to create work for the
unemployed. 1t would seem
that the powers at Wash
ington could contrive some
method where by these peo-
pie could have continued
their work. Two much red
tape is undoubtedly the
trouble.

GERMANY ENACTS MEASURES
TO COMBAT FINANCE CRISIS

Berlin, July Is, (UP)
On special authorization
of President Won linden
burg, the government to-
night enacted important en-
ergency measures to combat
the financial crisis.
The first provided that II
or 18 banks may open to-
morrow, but they will be al
lowed to pay out only such
sums as are necessary for
German business, industry,
trade and public services to
meet wages, salaries, unem-
ployment doles, social in
surance and taxes.
Depositors will not be al
lowed to withdraw their
savings for other purposes.
Debtors who might be en-
barrassed by the closing of
their accounts-will be
granted a respite by credi-
tors-in other words, a par
tial moratorium.

BANK AFFAIRS MAN
AGED THROUGH THE
STATE DEPARTMENT

1t is reported that the
Coolidge bank records will
be moved to Casa Grande
and handled through the
State Banking department
from there where they have
their own bank building,
and can then eliminate rent
and the expense of hiring
extra help by combinding
the 2 banks and operating
from oen point. 1t will no
doubt take sometime before
the affairs of the bank can
be gotten into shape to settle
with depositors, but efforts
are being made however, to
liquidate the assets of the
bank as soon as possible.

chain store organizations

States, and they are selling
about S30O,000,000 worth
of that class of goods year.
ly.
The smaller towns and
cities have put up a big kick
against the advent of chain
stores. But the system seems
to be constantly growing,
like the chestnut blight.
The secret of their sue
cess is in their big and con-
stant advertising in the To-
cal newspapers.

VACATION
ATTRACTIONS ARE
j NRIVELED

(This is the last of a series of
articles describing type of
vacation attractions, issued
by the Arizona Industrial
Congress in the interest of
the "See Arizona" move
ment.)
Arizon a s internation-
al borderland, with its his
torical back ground, nearby
mountain RESORTS and year
round guest ranches, and
picturesque atmosphere Of
Old Mexico, forms a play
ground of national reputa-
ton that gives the state an
other distinct type of vaca-
ton. From Yuma at one
corner, $50 miles east to the
New Mexico line beyond
Douglas, extends an area
rich in scenic charms and
unusual border color.
Like everything else about
Arizona, the border is "dif-
ferent." At one point it is
rich farm land, at another
rarely-visited volcanic de-
sert, at a third an immense
rolling upland farther on,
a solitary mountainous re-
gion. Winter resorts, sum-
mer resorts, all-year resorts,
are sometimes but a few
miles apart, as the altitude
varies constantly, but all
along the line may be found
the rare flavor of the bound
airy of foreign land.
To the summer vacation

and this area must be recog-
nized as an excellent sum-
mer resort territory. The
twin cities of Nogales, one
in Sonora and one in Ari-
zona, are interesting in life
and setting as they are i'm
portant commercially as the
gateway to the West Coast
of Mexico. The back ceun-
try of Santa Cruz country,
with its mines and cattle
ranches, rolling mountains
and heavy vegetation, is an
extremely pretty and inter-
esting region, and the drive
from Nogales to Tombstone
by way of Patagoia and So
nita creek is a scenic delight.
The ancient settlement of
Tubac an old Spanish mis-
sions give an added high
light to the facinating bor-
der air of Nogales, while
across the line in Mexico,
throughout the whole of
Sonora, is a wealth of ma
tura SCENERY, big-game
hunting, fishing on the Gulf
of California-usually reach
ed from Ajo or Yuma-and
picturesque Mexican life.
Farther east the border
cities of Naco and Douglas
are backed by a country
equally rich in beauty while
the two towns themselves
resemble Nogales in friend
ly Latin-American charm.

THE SEARCH FOR
RUTH STILL FUTILE
Airplane Combs Recesses
Of Superstition To
No Avail

Hope of finding Adolph
Ruth, 66-year old prospector
lost in the Superstition
mountain range for a month
waned Wednesday after a
combination air search and
the efforts of men on foot
and on horses failed to re-
veal new trace of the miss
ing man.
For two hours Wednesday
morning an air plane pilot

carrying E. D. Newcomer,
Arizona Republic Phoenix
Gazette staff photographer,
scared over the treacherous
pinnacles and deep canyons
of the Superstition range,
making pictures and keep
ing a sharp lookout for any
sign of Ruth. The air search
was sponsored by the Phoe-
nix Gazette.
Seachers hold three theor-
les in regard to the possible
fate of Ruth: that he met
death in a fall into one of
the canyons; that he met
with foul play, and his body
was disposed of; that he suf-
fered loss Of memory and
wandered out of the noun
tains and probably still is
wandering,
Ruth, 1t Is believed, might
have been slain for maps he
possessed.
The airplane trip over the
mountains Wednesday was
accompanied by numerous
dangers. Several times wind
conditions endangered the
planes flight, and the two
men reported several mar
row escapes.
DR.. Erwin G. Ruth, son Of
the missing prospectof, Is
convinced that his father
never will be found alive,
but he said he is determined
to continue the search in the
hope Of finding his fathers
body.-Arizona Republic.
No man could have gone
more surely to his death
than Ruth, the aged man
whose life was lost in a
search for the Lost Dutch
man mine, He has been
described as the "aged
prospector. " He was not
a prospector at all but an
aged man whose life had
been spent in a clerical
position in Washington.
He had been curiously OBJ
sessed by a purpose to find
the mine for which pros.
pectors and others had
been hunting nearly a half.

studied official maps. He
had learned what he could
find from a study of the
