AND YUMA WEEKLY EXAMINER if?" VOLUME XLIV. NUMBER 7. YUMA, ARIZONA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1913. ARIZONA SENTINEL FOUNDED 1872 The development of the fruit grow-l ing industry in Arizona promises much for the prosperity of the people of that state in the future. Experiments made with apple orchards in various portions of the state have demonstrated conclusively that the apple orchard of the future is going to be among the paying industries of Arizona, and all those enterprising orchardists who already have apple orchards coming into bearing are beginning to reap abundantly of- the fruit of their enterprise.

The Safford Guardian, published in Graham county, prints the following story of an experimental apple orchard of eight acres in that section that has just come into' bearing: "Any one who does not know the QUARREL I CUT ID 1 KILLED Merritt the colored bus driver at the Gandolfo was- attacked by a stranger of like color named Hosey, Sunday night when he went to hitch up at the UnderhilL, corral. Though taken unawares and l.adlv cut in the chest with a kn'fe the hands of his assailant, managed to draw a gun and shoot with fatal effect. There are several versions of the trouble heard on the streets. One is that Stevens slapped the other man VILLA DETRM TO DESTROY ENTIRELY possibilities of our vallev sh nnlfl visit thp nnnio nmharf rA tr I for insulting a woman earlier in the Mack of Pima. The orchard covers eight acres of land close to the river.

In it there are a thousand young, and healthy and thrifty trees, which were loaded with the most beautifully colored apples this year that one ever sees. "There are ten different kinds of apples in tfiis orchard, each of which is the favorite of many people. If the people will let him, Mr. Mack will have fine apples late next spring. "Worms? None at all!

FORD AUTO MAKES 600D TIN The 1100-pound Ford roadster in large, health-giving apples and not a charge of Driver Wright is sure some worm! When you buy apples from "go-getter." The Examiner man had Mr. Mack you do not have to have them inspected. No need of that, Mr. Wixon said. "The trees are only seven years old yet they will net the owner more money this year alone than the same piece of land would have netted him in grain or alfalfa the last seven years.

"An acre that will yoduce a thru-sand dollars a year in the Gila Valley! Mr. Mack has such an acre this year. One tree produced six hundred pounds, which sold as soon as picked for $22.50. Counting a -hundred trees to the acre, if every tree did as well, they would bring $22,50. This acre this year produced 30,000 pounds of good apples for which the owner has a ready market at 2 cents a pound This will give him $1,050 for the fruit from one acre.

When the trees are ten years old they will produce twice as much." the pleasure yesterday of going several miles over the mesa fr.ru some very deep sand in this ideal machine and the way 'the roadster had of skid ding along like an aeroplane was good sight to see. Mr. Wright is demonstrating the Ford machines here and he can be found at the Harris garage on First street. W. H.

MrBee, proprietor of a small grorery store on North Main street, was shot in the head and instantly killed by a negro trooper of the Ninth cavalry, tt 12:40 this morning. The negro soldier, it is reported', had been ordered out' of the store earlier in the night, and after adding a few drinks it is supposed that some remark Mc-Bee had made angered him and caused him to return. When shot McBee was facing the negro, and the bullet entered his nose. GUY IMPROVEMENT! Councilman Jack Dunne, who is chairman of the Park Committee, has determined to make a showing, and is succeeding. Any one doubting it might go out to the new City Park and be convinced.

Councilman Downey, as chairman of the street committee, is also doing splendid work and, collectively, the present council is the best in Yuma's history. SPLENDID ADDRESSES AT VALLEY GHRBGH The Valley Methodist church was well filled yesterday afternoon to hear the new Yuma pastor Rev. Shenk, and the reverend gentleman made a splendid impression among the people there. Rev. Merritt, field superintendent of Arizona Sunday schools, also address ed the congregation.

VALLEY VISITOR HERE; AUTO WRECK REGALLE (From Wednesday's Examiner) Lawrence Williams was in town today in his new Ford automobile. His old machine was smashed into Kil dling wood when Johnny Fishbaugh telescoped his machine in the valley not long ago. Though it was supposed at that time that several of the six persons in the wreck were seriously hurt, and one (a barber) fatally, it has since proven a very fortunate accident, as even the barber who at that time went to Lo.s Angeles returned to work at the Somerton barber shop within two weeks, and Johnny Fishbaugh has quit automobiling and settled down to ranching. JUAN HIGUERA KILL THE FEDERAL AH? Juan Higuera, a young man born in Yuma and recently a Federal soldier, has been killed near Juarez, according to an advice just received from El Paso. The family resides here and the body will probably be brought to Yuma for burial.

GARRANZA CELEBRATED FIFTY-FIFTH Provisional President Carranza celebrated his fifty-fifth birthday at Cari-bo, Sonora, yesterday. N'T FALL FOR FAKE REAL ESTATE OFFERS Yuma has just been flooded again with letters from a Los Angeles firm who periodically offers free lots to stool pigeons who, in return, are expected to boost for Los Angeles and the coast generally. Yuma real estate offers an investment good enough for any sensible investor, and with dealers who stand back of their talk. Mr. Yumaite, if you want a safe investment.

PRESIDIO, Texas, Dec. 31. Fighting between the Mexican federals and the Constitutionalists at Ojinaga was resumed again today. The rebels advanced upon the federal trenches where the remnant of Huerta's northern army had taken refuge after its disastrous defeat last night. The federals have now retreated to their innermost trenches and are apparently hopeles of repulsing the attack.

The American cavalry is pa trolling the border to prevent the fed erals fiom crossing the river. Federals Practically Defeated JUAREZ, Dec. 31 Dispatches received at Constitutionalist headquar ters here stated that the federals at Ojinaga are practically defeated. It is said to be the purpose of the rebel commander to drive the whole federal army to the American side where it will be disarmed. Department Approves Officers' Course WASHINGTON, D.

War department officials approve the action of Mapor McNamee, commanding the border patrol at Presidio, in back into Mexico the Mexican federals who sought safety on the American side after they were routed at Ojinaga by the" Constitutionalists last That phase of the situation is not regarded as serious, although the constant escape of Mexican soldiers across the Rio Grande into Texas causes no little annoyance to the border patrol.

It is also alleged that another trooper took the murdered away, and today deliver ed him to the sheriff. There have been ten members of the Ninth cavalry assigned here two weeks ago to protect the Yuma citi zens and this is the first evidence of any protection, or otherwise. The soldiers are supposed to guard the border to protect life and property and preserve the neutrality laws be tween the United States and Mexico, A gentleman in Rochester, N.

Y. asks Director Forbes of the Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station lor information concerning the various kinds of commercial nuts that will succeed in Arizona. Forbes now states that pecan trees will grow in I western and southern Arizona at ele vations of 1500 to 2,000 feet, but their bearing qualities under our con ditions have not yet been proven. Doubtless with proper selection of tres they will work out well in some situations, but it will take a good many years to ascertain definitely the MISS BBEHBMGER DOES ILL AT INSTITUTE erals has been in progress at Ojin auu viumiiy since sunaown yes terday.

The subject is exciting considerable interest at this time, but is as yet in its experimental stage. Almonds produce well in southern Arizona, excepting when late frosts catch the crop. This occurs frequently I should say about two years out of three. In one case concerning which I have information, 20 acres of almond trees netted over 4,000 a year down to less than "nothing on account of frosts. In this particu lar case good crops were obtained about one year in three.

DURING THE PAST YEAR THE STATE FAIR COMMISSION PAID ALL CURRENT EXPENSES AND ALSO LIQUIDATED NEARLY SEVEN -THOUSAND DOLLARS OF PREVIOUS INDEBTEDNESS; MANY NEEDED MADE; HORSE PAPERS GIVE MUCH SPACE TO ARIZONA FAIR; IN THE CAY OF SUCCESS, C. B. WOOD, SECRETARY OF FAIR COMMISSION, RESIGNS NOT FOR POLITICS The Horse papers are out with their Christmas editions and all ot tnem give more or less space to the Arizona State Fair, the first time in the his tory of the Fair. The Horseman and Spirit of the Times of Chicago printed an illustra ted article of the Fairs of the southwest. There are seven illustrations, one of the Pacific Ocean, one of the grandstand at Los Angeles, Califor nia, one of the grandstand at Pleasan- ton, California, and four cuts of scenes at the Arizona State Fair.

The cuts of the Arizona State Fair show the grandstand and the autos massed in the infield; a start of a burro race; a start of an Indian pony race the High School horses of the 5th Cavalry in action before the grandstand. The text of the article treats of the Texas State Fair, the Arizona State Fair, Los Angeles, Pleasanton, and San Francisco, with space given to the Arizona State Fair equalling ai. most the entire matter devoted to the other places. This is the first time that the big horse papers have thought it worth while to print an illustrated article of the Arizona State Fair, and the recognition accorded us this year is something of which to be proud.

He contemplates moving to Yuma to practice law. Ward Priest and crew, of the U.S.: R.S., are working four miles down' the valley, at the Thacker lateral. The mesa landowners are busy per fecting an organization. Attorney T. D.

Molloy is preparing the State Appropriations amount to and the disbursements to $81,000. When the present Fair Commission took office there were outstanding bills of nearly $2,000, a note in the bank of $1,500 to be met and with cash of some five or six hundred dollars to meet said outstanding indebtedness. In 1912 the Fair created more bills than it had means to meet, so this notes of some thousands of dollars for permanent improvements. The fair is now in a better financial condition than it has ever been in its history. While the fiscal year is from July to July, and the state appropria tions are so made, the real fiscal year for the fair corresponds with the cal endar year.

In keeping the books, balances are struck, so that reports and compara- receipts of the State Fair show a tenance account year the fair not only paid its current tive statements may be made either uy nscai or calendar years. The possibilities for a great fair in vxt are urignier man tor any pre vious year. The commission has the money, the experience and prestige achieved by success. C. B.

Wood, secretary of the fair for the last two years, has informed the commission that he will not be with them the coming season, but that he will gladly aid them in every manner possible for one not directly connected with the work. Rumor has connected Mr. Wood's name with several political offices and suggest these positions as the reason for declining to serve another year as secretary of the fair commission, but Wood denies that anything of the sort has any connection with his decision in the matter. expenses but has liquidated between six and seven hundred dollars of bills that is properly chargeable to years gone by. Do not understand for a moment that this was a deficit incurred in the maintenance of the fair.

These several amounts were created in the following manner: The state appropriated certain sums for permanent improvements. These appropriations did not by any means meet the demand made upon the fair, so the commission had to build stalls, lay concrete and do all those things that are properly chargeable to permanent improvements, and when the appropriation for this purose was exhausted they kept on drawing checks and paying the bills out of the'main- H.
