"M0nth of Weddings"
$3.50 and $500

Many a woman with real pos
sibilities OF style sacrifices them
on the altar of a bargain counter
when she buys cheap shoes. For
just a little more and for want o.
a little thought, she might have
had both the style and comfort
OF a dorothy Dodd" Shoe. But
to save that little, or because she
didn't think, she pinches and
crowds her feet, risks corns and
distortions, endures discomforts
and loses the whole element of
style at a most important part of
her costume. Don't trust to luck,
be rightly fitted with a Dorothy
Dodd'" Always moderate prices.

Right of Way involved.

With a view of settling, if possi- ble, troublesome controversy rel ative to the right of way over the Twin Buttes railroad and through the Canoa ranch for the Twin But tes extension, E. E. Calvin, vice. president and general manager of the Southern Pacific railway, with headquarters in San Francisco, is today visiting the scene of the con troverted point. It is hoped to effect a satisfactory settlement dur ing his present visit.
 The Twin Buttes Railway Com pany, it is understood, has long been engaged in controversy re- lative to the price to be paid it by the Southern Pacific for its railroad and some of it's directors are also owners in the Canoa ranch, through which the Southern Pacific has made a survey for the extension now being constructed. The South ern Pacific. in building the exten- sion, contemplates taking oyer the Twin Buttes road, giving a direct line from Tucson to the Mexican border, for which the county just recently voted a $150000 bond issue, but in the price to be paid there is now an issue.
 Accompanying him on his pres ent trip, Mir. Calvin has Chief En- gineer Isaacs of the Twin Buttes road, and considerable importance attaches to the settlement of the present controversy by reason of the fact that the construction of the extension may be retarded or pushed to earlier, completion after Mir.

Will Resume Construction.

That the Cananea Consolidated Copper Company is now getting ready to start construction on its line of railroad which will run from d point near Del Rio on the Cana nea, Yaqui River and Pacific rail road to the Chihuahua line in the Sierra Madre mountains, is evid- enced by the appearance of repres' entatives of contractors for the purpose of making an examination of the line as surveyed so that bids may be submitted on the work.
 Last Saturday the International published the first announcement that the officials of Mexico had ap- proved the survey of the line of railroad mentioned above and known as "line No. 1" in the con cession granted by the Mexican government to the Cananea Con- solidated Copper Company for building railroad along the north ern border of the states of Sonora and Chihuahua.
 During the past few days w. w. Brier, engineer for the Occidental Construction Company, of Los An geles, one of the largest contracting firms on the coast, has been over the survey for this proposed rail road which will touch the interna' tional line only at Agua Prieta opposite Douglas.
