Ono states az Notice.

The present statute az 50 drawn that
tne mileage to be improved In any one
county in each year IS dependent not
upon equitable distribution TO each
county. but on q ratio determined by
the number OF miles on the highway
map approved BY chapter 1l5 Of the
laws OF 1901 20 which must be added
the total number Of miles in each COuu-
~ completed. and then this sum is null
tipl1ed bv two. and a ratio tECn esIab,
lished which the appropriation and the
mileage so determined in each county
bears to the 100000 bond issue.
1t is very evident that the statute so
drawn carries larger annual improve
ments to the counties having the large
mileage on the map plus the large mile
age improved. and that they are being
taken care Of faster than the other

law 10 not consider II fair or proper

HELD A MEMORIAL
 FOR THEIR DEAD

DOUGLAS June 11.-(Specfal- The members Of the local lodge of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs paid trib' uate to the memory of their departed brothers and sisters with beautiful and appropriate memorial services in their lodge room last evening.
 A large number attended the ser vices. Chaplain c. H. Foss opened the meeting with prayer, and afterward 4. H. Argetsinger, noble grand, called the meeting to order and announced the purpose of their coming together. He called for the names of those that had left their ranks during the past year and their names were read by Secretary c. D. Messner.
 After a beautiful selection by the EIks' Tooth quartet, Rev. Clyde W. Demfning made the address of the evening, choosing for his subject the three words of Odd Fellowship, 'Friendship, Love and Truth"
 After the memorial address the Elks' Tooth quartet rendered another selec' ton and the program closed with pray. Ter by Chaplain Foss. The audience was greatly disappointed at not hear. ing the violin duet between Mrs. Pnarr and Andrew Seamans, with piano ac compartment by Mrs. Averill, which was announced on the program but was omitted owing to the absence of one of the musicians.

DYNAMITE PIPE LINE
 THE FOURTH TIME
Some One Has Grudge Against
 Railroad Company,

DOUGLAS, June 11.-(Special- The Fl Paso and Southwestern pipe line which was constructed at an enormous expense from the Bonito river to Tularosa and Carrizozo. was dynamfted again last night by some foolhardy person that is nourishing a senseIess g-udge agpfnst that rail road. This is about the fourth time that the thing has occurred and 1t throws the railroad company to a good deal of expense and delay. As soon as the pipe line is blown up the water changes its course and flows out over the mountains in diff ferent directions, and discovering that the water is no longer flowing the southwestern people send men out over the line to find the broken point and repair 1t. This dynamiting has occurred several times, and the rail road company is almost forced to keep a regular crew of men ready to go out over the line and discover the wrecked point after the dynamiting
 The officials here are of the opin- ion that it is some one who thinks that the railroad company sid not pay him enough for his right to the water, and wants the water again for his cattle. However, the Southwest ern paid exactly what was asked by the different people for their rights, and no one has the right to kick. The secret service department of the Southwestern at Fl Paso is work ing steadily on the case, and hopes to discover the guilty party or parties before long.

SHELTER RUNNING
 HALF AT NAC0ZARI
Slump In Copper Has Been
 Felt in Sonora.

DOUGLAS, June Especial. )- James s. Douglas, who will go down in history as one of the pioneer Ameri cans who planted the seeds of civili- ration and industry in the state of Sonora, arrived this morning from NacoZari. He returned on the train this afternoon after transacting the business for which he came.
 MT. Douglas stated that half of the new concentrating mill erected during the past year by the Moctezuma Cop per company is now in commission, though the amount of ore being treat ed is not yet up to the maximum ca pacity. When the little defects have been remedied and the whole mill is put into commission it will require from 1900 to 2000 tons Of Ore to feed 1t daily
 Mir Douglas. aside from the state ment concerning the new mill had nothing of importance to impart con corning Nacozari or the immediate vicinity. Considerable prospecting is being done, but the result of the slump in the copper market has been as serious in Sonora as in the United States.
 It is expected that Nacozarf will contribute large percentage of its population to swell the patriotic crowd in Douglas on the Fourth of July.
