The increase is made voluntarily by the mine managers of this district and will be effective from July 16, 1919. The seventy-five cent wage in crease will make the minor's wage ?6.65 per day. In addition to the seventy-five cent increase given all employees, the base rate for machine men, timbermen and mechanics will be changed, giving machine men an incrcoso of $1.25 per day1, timbermen an increase of $1.00 per day and jour neymen mechanics an increase of S1.00 per day. The wage increase is given in view of tho increased living costs in this district at the present time and is based on 24-ccnt copper. TEMPE-MESA ROAD AWARD WILL BE MADE AUGUST 19 Sealed bids will be opened by the state engineer on August 19 for the construction of two sections of the Tempe-Mesa highway, one of the most important links in the new highway system of the state. Tho call for bids was issued following the receipt of a letter from J. S. Bright stating that he had recommended rcaeral aid. The project will be subject to the further approval of the secretary of agriculture. new enterprise is said to bo Thomas Pollock, of Flagstaff, and the people of Winslow will be pleased to have that centleihan financially interested in the future growth and development of the city. A couple of months ago Mr. Pol lock purchased the wholesale grocery business of Stetson-Barrett at Phoe nix, which was his initial introduction in the mercantile business, and the lure of measuring eggs and weighing calico has tempted him to get in the retail game in Winslow. Winslow Mail. o 30,537 CORPORATIONS ARE DELINQUENT IN THEIK Jr-JSES COMMITTEE REPORTS FAVORABLY ON THE DAM FOR COLORADO RIVER COPPER COMPANY APPEALS SUIT FOR $17,000 DAMAGES The Inspiration Consolidated Cop per Co. has taken an appeal to tho supreme court from the judgment df the Gila county court in the damage suit brought by Emily Conwell. Mrs. Conwcll sued in the nmofWOO damages for tho death of her hus band. She was awarded a judgment of $17,000. PIONEER nESIDBKJoBNlx g " "Walter Talbot, a resident of Phoe nix since 1888, former mayor of the Sty, and one of the three commis sioners in charge of bui ding the capi tol, died in Los Angeles last week, aged 75, according to a dispatch re ceived in Phoenix. Talbot leaves a widow, who was with him at the time of his death, and two daughters in Washington, D. C, Mrs. (Dr.) Anscll Martin and Mrs. Wm. H. Barnes. M. B. UPDIKE DIES SUDDENLY Thursday evening L. C. Updike, the moving picture manager, received a telegram from his mother informing him of tho sudden death of his father, M. B. Updike, at Kingman, Ariz. No particulars were given. Mr. Updike left at once for Kingman, Albert r. Anderson going with him as far as Holbrook. We understand he will bring his father here for burial. M. B. Updike and wife had been to California, driving through in their automobile, and were returning home when his death occurred, probably from heart trouble. He was in St. Johns a few weeks ago and appeared unusually hearty and active for a man of his age. The news of his death comes as a shock to St. Johns as well as to Snowflake, Holbrook and other places where he was prominently known. St. John's Observer. A total of 30,537 of the 30,902 com panies which have been incorporated in Arizona, are facing the alternative of paying their fees and making their reports, or having the state corpora tion commission file applications in the court for their dissolution, accord ing to well authenticated reports of tho capital today. The commission, it is understood is preparing a successor to the approxi mately 99 per cent delinquent com panies in Arizona, notifying them that unless their arrears, and reports, due last June arc paid, court proceedings will be opened looking to their disso lution. Fees Go to State Fund "The money obtained from the com panies' fees goes into the general fund of the state," said A. Estelzer, sec retary of the corporation commission. "The enforcement of the law means a great deal more work for the com mission, but it will have to be done." It was pointed out that many of the corporations organized in Arizona in the past few years aro dead beyond recall. If the entire list of delin quents, many of which have not paid fees nor made reports for several years, were to be revived, the state would be richer by $1,000,000 or more, it was stated. Many substantial firms, some ap proaching the million dollar class, aro in arrears in the matter of annual fees and reports; a number of other wise well conducted business houses have been similarly lax, and even transportation lines are in the delin quent files of the commission. o ACCUSE MEXICAN OF MURDER AND The committee of Congress has Just made a favorable report on the bill for tho conservation of the flood waters of the Colorado river and it is expect ed that a vote will be taken on the measure sometime next week. This bill carries an appropriation of $500,- 000,000 for tho Colorado and other conservation projects outlined by Sec retaiy Lane. Themain appropriation is for a scries of dams in the Colo rado river to impound the flood wa ters of that great watershed so that an all the year supply of water may bo had in the country that is now be ing irrigated by waters from that stream. One of the first dams, aside from the small dams in Wyoming on the Green river, will be in Boulder Can yon, north of Kingman. This dam is to be ono of the greatest ever under taken in the world, creating a lake double the size of tho Roosevelt dam and more than 100 feet higher than that wonderful project. The width of the lake at .the mouth of the Virgin will be approximately 34 miles and will back the water up the Colorado river 40 miles. At the Virgin it will bo about 400 feet deep and will hold enough water to irrigate every possi ble acre along the course of the big stream. Its cost will be less than the dam at Roosevelt on account of its ideal location. It will be thrown across a narrow part of tho canyon and rock and santl, as well as cement may bo obtained on the ground. Easy of access from the Mohave county, side, all the materials may be taken to the site by rail and truck. A rail road could be laid almost to the site with a small amount of grade, the country through which it would be carried being almost level. And now that there is a possibility of this great project going through it behooves the people of Kingman and Chloride to get busy and divert all business in connection with the building and maintenance through these places. Millions of dollars arc to be expended on the project and the place that gets the business will be largely benefitted. Mohave county people are- the ones that did more to bring the possibilities of the project to the attention of the interior de partment than any other and as sev eral of the dams arc to be directly in Mohave county we see no reason why we should not go after the busi ness. All the work done by the Cali fornia commission regarding the con servation of the waters of the Colo rado river was contemplated in the damming of the Grand and Green riv ers, without a thought of the immense possibilities of damming the Colorado. Kingman Miner. o OFFICIALS BUSILY "PASSING THE BUCK" IN THE EARLY DAYS (From the Coconino Sun's file of July 25. 1885.) General Grant is dead, and a na tion mourns. Four new Pullmans are being placed on the Atlantic & Pacific road. The Mexican government has sent ten companies of troops north to wage a war of extermination on the Apaches. Another faro bank has been opened in Flagstaff. E. T. Greenlaw is the happy father of a bouncing boy; the coming presi dent tipped the scales at 14 pounds. Gustave Shield, drunk, wanting a fight, picked one with Thomas Drury, much smaller, who poked Shield in the eye with his fist and broke his neck. On Monday evening the raffle for diamond ring and gold necklace will take place at Col David's Frisco saloon. room with cold air and a closed room with warm air is that the former is more uncomfortable than the latter. Reasonably cool air in both living rooms and sleeping rooms is highly desirable, but the coolness must come from the outside and must be mixed with purity to be effective; it must not be cool simply because of the absence of heat. DIRECT PROOF THAT WOMEN ARE ANGELS "FRESH AIR" IS NOT ALWAYS PURE AIR THEFT A revolver, said to be ono of the missing links in the chain of evidence against a Mexican known as "Choma cho," charged with the murder of Margareta Avila, near Glendale, ten days ago, has been found by Ranger Dewitt, who dragged the Buckeye canal for the weapon. Avila was robbed of $200 by two men and then fatally wounded. He died in a hospital here. The following day Chomacho was captured after a hard chase, during which the officers said he was seen to drop his revolver in the Buckeye canal. A second man said to have been implicated in the double crime is still at large, o PINAL COUNTY NOW STRONG FOR GOOD ROADS Pinal county's highway program, as adopted by the highway commission, calls for a bond issue of $1,000,000 to be voted September 16, two weeks after tho Pima county election and the completion of the entire road sys tems of the county. Pinal has 'pro vided for connection with Pima coun ty at the line on the Casa Grande Tucson rood and on the Florence Tucson road. It has also provided for constructing the Mount Lcmmon road in Pinal county and the link from Oracle to Mammoth on the Tucson Globe road.

HARPER & CO. SECOND-HAND STORE No. 6 Weat Railroad Avenue BunMnMUmtlMMIinUmilMHIHMUMIMIMHHMMMMHIIj The special potato report of the United States Department of Agricul ture for July is highly encouraging to Arizona potato growers, inasmuch as it shows a smaller acreage planted in practically every state 'In the Union. The acreage decrease ranges from 3 to 10 per cent in the various states. It is also shown that the yield in more than half of tho largest grow-ine- areas will likely be below normal. Averaging the report, it looks like a decrease of between 10 and 15 per cent in total yield. This means bet ter prices everywhere for the crop. A clear distinction should be made between "cold" air and "pure" air, the Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis Associa tion points out. Many people, in their efforts to prevent tuberculosis, are ob sessed with the notion that all cold air is pure air and that all warm air is necessarily impure air. There is danger in this notion, it is pointed out, because it gives a false security. It has been found some times by tuberculosis patients that sleeping porches do not always give the expected results. There arc in stances where sleeping porches are found to be "dead air" pockets. And moreover, tho outside air is not nec essarily always pure air, although the chances are in its favor. The outside air in the vicinity of a smelter kills vegetation and is harmful to animal life. It would not do for a tuberculo sis sufferer to depend on outside air in such a region. The open window does not neces sarily insure a sufficient supply of pure air, although it is, of course, preferable to the closed window. In addition to opening the window, pro vision should be made to secure some circulation in the room so that the air will not become "dead" air. This is the same as creating a draft and many people will be horrified at the advice, the fear of a draft being deep rooted. . The ideal way is, of course, to sleep in the open air with sufficient protec tion to insure the sleeper against cold and rain. The next best way is to have at least two windows open to secure circulation. Worst of all is the idea that cold air in a closed room is preferable to warm air in a closed room. Cold air The officials of tho War Department in, a dosed room can not long remain are now busily engaged in attempting W. becomes laden with carbon to "pass the buck" in placing rcspon-' ,,,oxld.c ?as from the lungs of the pcr sibility for tho department's amazing , S? 1jrin r "'ceplng- in the room, delay in declaring a food surplus until I2 only d'Aercnecc between a closed a largo quantity of it had deteriorat-i; cd to such an extent that it had top. bo sold at a creat loss to tho eovcrn-1 1 ment. Various witnesses appearing before the committee on war expen ditures have testified to the fact that it took the department half a year after the signing of the armistice to declare that a food surplus existed, but each witness has placed the blame in a different spot, and now comes General March, chief of staff of the army, who says that a surplus could have been declared in February in stead of May, but that the attitude of the secretary of war, who desired that the canners should be protected against a flooded market, had doubt less prevented the quartermaster corps, from announcing it at that time. Chairman Rcavis pointed out that although demobilization of troops had commenced almost immediately upon the signing of the armistice, it had taken the administration six months to commence a demobilization bf food supplies. o MINER KILLED AT JEROME "Thero is direct and living proof of the fact that women are angels," Dr. C. B. Boving, of Mobcrly, Mo., stated the other night to a mass meet ing of the St. Louis Christian En deavor Union at the Union Avenue Christian Church in St. Louis. "The first proof is that they arc always up in the air," he stated. "The second proof is that they are always "harping' on something, and the third is that they never have an earthly thing to wear." o You can just look at some boys and know they'll never be president.

He has been visiting the numerous washouts between Gallup and this city, viewing the roadbed with an idea of improving conditions to prevent a repetition of the troubles.- Winslow Mail. A serious cave-in on the 1,200-foot level of the United Verde mine last Tuesday morning resulted in the death of Piocinto Salis, "a fractured leg in the case of Jules Quetu and minor bruises to Mike Ziola. The accident was the result of tho fall of the roof of tho 17-M stopo on the 1,200-foot level, one floor above the sill. Quetu and Ziola were as sisting two timbermen who were put ting up additional bulkheads for the Erotection of the men while Salis was rcaking boulders nearby. Before one bulkhead had been completed a sec tion at the rear collapsed and all three of the men were caught at the end of the cave-in. Salis was Dinned beneath a slab of rock, and when removed was found to have a fractured skull. An examina tion at the hospital disclosed that Quetu suffered from a compound frac ture of the leg below the left knee while Ziola sustained minor cuts and a bruised thigh. o MADAGASCAR RICH IN GEMS At This Store You Can Get Everything You Want To Eat If it's to be had, we have it.
