MAY ENTER RACE FOR ARIZONA'S GOVERNORSHIP MAJOR NEILL E. BAILEY MENTIONED AS CANDIDATE FOR CHIEF EXECUTIVE Now at Washington Doing War Work Adjudicating Claims Against the Government. That Major Neill E. Bailey of Prescott, Ariz., may become a candidate for governor is indicated by advices received here from Phoenix this week. Major Bailey has been at Phoenix for a few days, coming over from Washington to attend to private interests. He returned to the national capital after a brief visit at Phoenix, and is engaged in the work of settling war claims against the government, which amount to millions of dollars. At outbreak of hostilities he offered his services to the government, and in company with many other distinguished citizens doing war work at Washington, received a salary of one dollar per year. He was later made captain in the regular army, and assigned to duty in the wartime department. Subsequently he was promoted to major. He devoted much of his time to railroad work, and was instrumental in bringing out order of change to the United States, the authorities in Russia cabled this government that he be retained on the other side. When he was in Vienna last spring, Major Bailey said the food and fuel want was pitiful as he found it elsewhere in his travels. He was particularly impressed with the work of the food administration in Libau, a Russian city of 150,000 population, where the food administration officials cared for 5,000 children in arms who were literally starving. "It was a pathetic sight to see the small boys and girls come to us at 4 o'clock every afternoon. They did not come like children, but rather like wild animals craving for a bite of food. After they had received their quota of rice or whatever happened to be furnished they would kneel and kiss the hand that feel them." It is understood that an effort was made to have Major Bailey lecture on his experiences abroad while here but owing to the fact that he is leaving almost at once the event could not be arranged.

He was later made captain in the regular army, and assigned to duty in the war department. Subsequently he was promoted to major. He devoted much of his time to railroad work, and was instrumental in bringing order out of chaos in the railroad situation throughout the east. Early in the present year he was ordered to Europe on a recent mission for the government, and was absent several months, visiting France, Germany, Austria, Russia and other countries. He has asked for his discharge from government service and will return to Arizona, where he has large mining and cattle interests. Major Bailey was formerly a resident of this city, and has many warm personal friends throughout Orange county, who will be glad to hear of his continued good fortune. He learned the railroad business in Anaheim, and was for a number of years engaged in railroad work in this state, Arizona and New Mexico. He was eelcted to the legislature of Arizona some years ago, and was chosen to be speaker of the assembly. The following reference to him is taken from a Phoenix paper just received here: Here for a brief stay, Major Neill Bailey, member of the war department claims court, arrived in Phoenix yesterday from Washington, D. C. The return of Major Bailey after a long absence in service, revived the rumor that he will be a democratic candidate for governor at the coming primary election. It was quite evident that the political gossip had reached the army officer, although he refused to discuss the matter. "At the present time I am giving my attention solely to government matters," he declared. "I was granted a few days absence and came out west on personal business and to visit my relatives. I will return to the capital in a day or two." Major Bailey stated that he expected to receive his discharge after the first of the year when he will return to SAVES SAVAGES The savage lives within his income. Do you? But he lives only for today. Do you live only for today? The savage doesn't look ahead and he doesn't get ahead. Are you in the savage's class or are you looking ahead and getting ahead? The savage is no better off today than he was yesterday. Are you? The savage will be no better off next year than he was last year. Will you? War Savings and Thrift Stamps will put you in the look ahead and the get ahead class. Save! Buy W. S. S. regularly. War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps will make you better off tomorrow than you were today—better off next year than you were last year. Save! Buy W. S. S. regularly. War Savings Stamps are food when crops fall; a pleasure trip when you want it; the first payment on a home: the beginning of a college education; a start in life; a rainy day fund. Buy them regularly from your bank—your Postmaster—any War Savings Stamp agent. War Savings Stamps pay you 4 percent interest, compounded every 3 months. Your War Savings Stamps are redeemable at your Postoffice with accrued interest on ten days' notice to your postmaster. The longer you hold War Savings Stamps—the more money they make for you. FACING THE FACTS The national debt of the United States at the end of the fiscal year 1911-1912 was $1,040,340,000, or $10.40 for each person living in this country, figuring on the basis of 100,000,000 population. The national debt of the United States on June 1, 1919, was $25,421,151,270. This simply means that every person in the United States faces a national debt that averages $231.10. If conditions that have become so radically changed by this so greatly increased debt are to become in any wise normal, they can come in just one way—the absorption of this bonded debt by the savings of the people. The answer given the Senate Committee by the governor, W. P. G. Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, to their query as to what legislation was needed at this time and to relieve the financial situation, was: "The Federal Reserve Board believes that any currency legislation at this time is unnecessary and undesirable and would suggest that whether viewed from an eco-tracts as he please gregate acreage of acres.

"I was granted a few days absence and came out west on personal business and to visit my relatives. I will return to the capital in a day or two." Major Bailey stated that he expected to receive his discharge after the first of the year when he will return to Arizona. He will divide his time between Phoenix and Prescott, caring for his business which consists of large cattle interests and mining claims, while his mining stock in this state alone yield him a large income. Major Bailey in speaking of the work which is claiming his attention in Washington said it was impossible to even estimate when all claims would be adjusted. At present the amount in claims is $25,000,000 which range in amounts from $5 to several thousands for work performed during the war and materials furnished. Serving with him in the court are Judge Naylor of Salt Lake, a civilian, and Colonel L. A. Dewey of the regular army. Major Bailey left here two years ago when he was detailed to serve in the transportation division under the general staff. After remaining in Washington during the war period doing important work, he was ordered overseas on a secret mission for the government. His activities took him to Russia, Siberia, Germany, France, Poland and numerous other points in Europe. Before his return to this country he opened up lines of communication in Russia for the food administration and was looked upon as a guardian angel of the people. In fact, when it was time for his return in any wise normal, they can come in just one way—the absorption of this bonded debt by the savings of the people. The answer given the Senate Committee by the governor, W. P. G. Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, to their query as to what legislation was needed at this time and to relieve the financial situation, was: "The Federal Reserve Board believes that any currency legislation at this time is unnecessary and undesirable and would suggest that whether viewed from an economic or financial standpoint, the remedy for the present situation is the same, namely: 'Work and save.'" The people have got to spend less and save more. The people can save. Uninvested money is dissipated too easily and is wasted too often. If the money is in the pocket, that new luxury really not needed is usually gotten, for it is easy to convince one's self that it is good business to buy the thing one wants. Invested money earns interest, it is not so easily spent, and it encourages the saving of more. LEPER COLONY LENDS FREELY Honolulu — The Penikese Island Leper Colony, Hawaiian Islands, bought War Savings Stamps to the amount of $62 per capita. There were thirty-two purchasers among the lepers. This amount is three times as much as the per capita quota for the United States, which is $20. The total sales of War Savings and Thrift Stamps for Hawaii amounted to $2,620,000—beating quota by 10,000. All the wealth in the world has been saved by some one. Buy War Savings Stamps. Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Henderson are visiting friends and transacting business in the northern part of the state. The paving between the west side of San Francisco contractor feels surplus of January will finished. There have due to labor conditions things have been well. When the shape and there is Finley lays from 3rd road a day. At the county surrendered that the new pavement ought travel by the middle. The rains of last pass from Peralta of Sulphur Hill in spots. Of course, hard to keep up every effort is to be traveling as easy GOVVERNMENT OFFERS YUMA MESA LANDS The United States Government, through the Reclamation Service, is advertising the sale of over 6,000 acres of what is claimed to be the frostless citrus belt fruit lands at Yoma, Arizona, on December 10, 1919, the sale to begin at 10 o'clock that morning an continuing from day to day until all the various tracts shall have been offered for sale. The lands are located on what is known as the "Yuma Mesa," beginning at the city limits of the city of Yuma and extending down towards the boundary line of the state of Sonora, Mexico. They are regarded as being frostless, and experts have pronounced them the best citrus fruit lands in the United States. There are about 47,500 acres of the Yuma Mesa Lands, which are divided into units of about six to twelve thousand acres. The entire acreage has been subdivided into 531 tracts, ranging from five to twenty acres each. Unfier the public notice issued by the Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Keene, any person who is a citizen of the United States can purchase as many of these tracts as he pleases, providing the aggregate acreage does not exceed forty acres. Ten per cent of an accepted bid must be paid on the day of sale, 15 per cent within 60 days thereafter if the bid is approved by the Secretary of the Interior, and 25 per cent for each of the three following years, with interest at six per cent, or the entire amount may be paid at any time before due. heavy rain continuing over two or three days might make the road impassable for a short time, but it is hoped both here and in Riverside and other interior cities that the by-pass will be in travelable condition throughout the winter. The opening of the pavement over Sulphur Hill will do away with one of the most troublesome portion of the by-pass. That portion of the road around the hill has been kept in very good shape up to the time the rain of last week came. That rain rendered a few spots extremely slippery. Drivers of several big trucks loads of hay refused to venture taking the by-pass Friday night, as well they might. When the contract that Steele Finley has is completed, the whole of the Santa Ana canyon road will be paved. By placing the road over Sulphur Hill the possibility of having the road washed out by the treachery of the Santa Ana river at the base of Sulphur Hill will be done ayay with. And They Say A wise gent offers the opinion that sugar will come out plentifully along about January 1st, as the income tax has had a tendency to make it scurrry to cover while the old year is still working. Kind of letting the cat out of the bag. The police had two distinguished guests early last week who had been sight seeing up the road and enjoying themselves, and who just could not than $100,000. It will have about fifty rooms. The first floor will have a fine lobby besides a number of fine rooms for store purposes. The design will be beautiful and attractive, up to the minute in furnishings that will be the pride of every citizen. While the people interested in or- racts as he pleases, providing the aggregate acreage does not exceed forty acres. Ten per cent of an accepted bid must be paid on the day of sale, 15 per cent within 60 days thereafter if the bid is approved by the Secretary of the Interior, and 25 per cent for each of the three following years, with interest at six per cent, or the entire amount may be paid at any time before due. The government will construct the necessary irrigation works and all necessary canals for the irrigation of these lands, the estimated cost of which is placed at $200 per acre, with $25 per acre added for the land, making the minimum bid $225 per acre. That these lands are perfectly adapted to citrus fruit culture has long since been demonstrated. It is claimed that they actually produce the best citrus fruit of any lands in the United States and the fruit ripens much earlier than similar fruits in either California or Florida. Oranges, lemons, grape-fruit, tangerines, figs, dates, Persian limes, canteloupes, watermelons, early vegetables, all do equally well on the Yuma Mesa land, where killing frosts are unknown. It is a well established fact that oranges, grape-fruit and lemons will produce as much as 25 boxes per tree, and dates will yield 400 pounds to 600 pounds per tree. The citizens of Yuma are making all necessary preparations to entertain a big crowd during the sale. ROAD COMPLETED ON SULPHUR HILL SLIDE Will be Open for Traffic Probably Within Week. Within the next week or ten days the pavement over Sulphur Slide hill will be open for travel, and the troublesome road at the edge of the Santa Ana river at Sulphur Slide may soon be a thing of the past. Steele Finley, who has the contract for the paving of the canyon road from Peralta to a point above Sulphur Slide, finished pouring cement on the portion of the job over the hill some time ago. County Surveyor McBride has been keeping traffic off sugar will come out plentifully along about January 1st, as the income tax has had a tendency to make it scurrry to cover while the old year is still working. Kind of letting the cat out of the bag. The police had two distinguished guests early last week who had been sight seeing up the road and enjoying themselves, and who just could not make their fliver behave. Gasoline and booze never did mix very well. A staid and proper member of society of the male species voiced his surprise the other evening when he said he saw a lady running around wearing trouserettes. It would really have been shocking if she had been running around without them. Thanksgiving has come and gone and turkey was higher than ever. But there are men who eat turkey even if they have to stay out all night to get it. A thief entered a residence here the other day in broad daylight and carried away a large phonograph and other articles. Strange to relate he overlooked the piano. Some of the tourists coming out of the snow belts give away their overcoats upon reaching California. These fresh air fiends like to live close to nature. A big automobile became unmanageable a few days ago and run up on the sidewalk at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets and continued for quite a distance before being halted. These gas wagons are gradually crowding the man on the hoof off the map. Now that the city has again raised some of the salaries to help knock out H. C. L., others not so fortunate are thinking of going to bat again to keep up their averages. Stand back—quit your shoving! The festive hold-up man and bank robber is still gathering in the berries. This hold-up business—the kind where than $100,000. It will have about fifty rooms. The first floor will have a fine lobby besides a number of fine rooms for store purposes. The design will be beautiful and attractive, up to the minute in furnishings that will be the pride of every citizen. While the people interested in organizing this company and building the hotel have no trouble to secure the necessary funds for all purposes on the sale of the stock, yet they propose to put a block of stock on the local market, expecting the home people to be sufficiently interested to take some stock. Some representative citizens of Fullerton will be on the board of directors and in a way, it will be a home enterprise. A permit will be issued by the state incorporation commissioner to sell this stock, and every dollar on the sale of stock will pass through the hands of the directors of the local board. The house of Meade Company of Los Angeles, bond and stock brokers, who make a specialty of financing just such propositions, have been induced to undertake the 'financing' of this enterprise. WAR WITH JAPAN IN TEN YEARS' TIME Dr. Sun Yet Sen Prophesies to American Newspaper Man. War by Japan against the United States in ten years, to force coolie immigration upon America. Complete Japanizing of the Pacific will be open for travel, and the troublesome road at the edge of the Santa Ana river at Sulphur Slide may soon be a thing of the past. Steele Finley, who has the contract for the paving of the canyon road from Peralta to a point above Sulphur Slide, finished pouring cement on the portion of the job over the hill some time ago. County Surveyor McBride has been keeping traffic off of the road in order to give it ample time to cure. Good paving has been ruined by allowing traffic to get upon it too soon, and it is not McBride's intention to allow this road to be damaged by getting traffic upon it until the cement is well set. The paving has been kept wet. Just as fast as Finley finishes pouring cement, dirt checks are thrown across the paving and water is kept standing on the concrete. The paving between Peralta and the west side of Sulphur Hill will be finished in January. At least, the contractor feels sure that the middle of January will find his work completed. There have been some delays due to labor conditions, but recently things have been moving along very well. When the mixer is in good shape and there is plenty of help, Finley lays from 350 to 400 feet of road a day. At the county surveyor's office it was stated that the whole strip of new pavement ought to be open for travel by the middle of February. The rains of last week put the by-pass from Peralta to the east side of Sulphur Hill in rough shape in spots. Of course, it is going to be hard to keep up a good by-pass, but every effort is to be used to make traveling as easy as possible. Now that the city has again raised some of the salaries to help knock out H. C. L., others not so fortunate are thinking of going to bat again to keep up their averages. Stand back—quit your shoving! The festive hold-up man and bank robber is still gathering in the berries. This hold-up business—the kind where a man uses a gun—should be made a felony with a death penalty, because a man is desparate when engaged in that line of work, and will kill to make a get-away. And again put a stop to this chicken-hearted probation stunt. A minstrel wag said he went down to San Pedro the other day and saw a man in the bay calling for help to save him from drowning, and asked that a piece of rope be thrown to him. The comedian said he cut off the end of a piece of rope and threw it to the man, but he drowned after all. The man was an engineer and when the minstrel went to get his job the boss told him the position his been given to the man who pushed the engineer overboard, and the next day the wind blew. PLAN TOURIST HOTEL FOR FULLERTON Company Being Formed to Erect a $200,000 Building. A company is being incorporated to build a fine tourist hotel on the corner of Spadra and Whiting streets, Fullerton. The plans are being drawn by the architect for a three-story up-to-date fireproof hotel to cost not less ANSWER HER LETTER will be Japan's demand for unrestricted immigration of her people into the United States. If she gains that consent of your nation to avoid war, another ten years and there will be nobody but Japanese on your Pacific coast. And after forcing her people on the United States she will force them on Canada and Australia, and on the American nations from Mexico to Cape Horn." Information, charging Ruth Spann, a negress, with grand larceny was filed in superior court Monday by Deputy District Attorney Alex P. Nelson. The defendant is out on bail. She was arrested on a charge of having stolen $45 from John Bleecher, at Anaheim, in March. According to Attorney Nelson, Ruth Spann has a long criminal record. She has been arrested in various parts of the country under several aliases. Nelson stated. She will be arraigned in the court of Superior Judge West at 9:30 o'clock, Friday. A head-on collision between two freight trains in the Santa Ana canyon Saturday resulted in blocking the track with wreckage for several hours, but nobody was injured. An oil tank train, running between San Bernardino and Olinda, had picked up a load at the latter point and was returning to the Gate City. At Chester station this train ran head-on into a fast freight, proceeding from San Bernardino to Los Angeles. No members of the train crews were injured. Both locomotives were stove in. Six oil-tank Coast states of America in ten years more if Japan wins. These are the astounding predictions made recently by Dr. Sun Yet Sen, the father of the Chinese Republic, in an interview he gave me at his home writes an American correspondent. Dr. Sun is famous the world over as the man whose revolutionary doctrines and military activities finally overthrew the Manchu dynasty. He is a brilliant, intellectual, and an able man of affairs. He enjoys the highest esteem of all true republicans in China and likewise of Americans and Europeans. The rgeat leader was not speaking idly when he made these predictions. He spoke from an intimate knowledge of the Japanese and their Pressianistic program, as well as of his own people and what the Japanese are doing to master China. Dr. Sun had declared that if Japan was not checked by the powers and succeeded in using the Chinese militarists to crush the liberal elements in China, war between Japan and America would be inevitable. "If the Japanese program in China succeeds, how long will it be before Japan will feel strong enough to make war on the United States?" I asked. "Ten years, not more than that," was the reply. "Why will Japan take the offensive against the United States?" "She will be mistress of the Pacific and her interests will clash with all of yours in the Orient," said Dr. Sun. "But the unavoidable cause of war Saturday resulted in blocking the track with wreckage for several hours, but nobody was injured. An oil tank train, running between San Bernardino and Olinda, had picked up a load at the latter point and was returning to the Gate City. At Chester station this train ran head-on into a fast freight, proceeding from San Bernardino to Los Angeles. No members of the train crews were injured. Both locomotives were stove in. Six oil-tank cars were derailed and one refrigerator car of the Los Angeles bound freight left the tracks. ANNOUNCEMENT DRS.
