ATHLETES OF EAST AND
WEST ARE TO CLASH
Seattle Exposition Will be Place of
First Meeting on Even Terms of
CoIlegians From Entire Nation
Record Breaking in Prospect.

Seattle. June 26-(Special Core
spondence of The Republican.)-For
the first time in the history of Amer
lean athletics, the best track men of
the west will compete on a western
field against the east. in the great
American Amateur Athletic Union
track meet at the stadium of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition, Fri
day and Saturday, August Il and IS.
Although western athletes have oft
en- made good in the east, no strictly
western team has ever competed sue
cessfully against the eastern stars. 1t
has been complained that this is on
account of the fact that few western
men have been entered in the eastern
meets and because of the change of
conditions.
From the records that have been
made in Pacific coast athletics in the
past few years. this should be one of
the greatest track meets in the history
of the country. Against the experience
and numbers which the east has at its
command. the western athletes Will
have an offset the fact that the meet
is held on a western field and amid
familiar conditions.
Intense interest over the outcome of
this meet has been exhibited all over
the Pacific coast. The records that
have been made on western tracks
have been held in doubt by the critics
of the east This meet viii decide
whether or not the western track men
are the equals of those from the east.
The entries for the meet will include
many of the most prominent athletes
in the United States. Practically all
of the college stars of the large eastern
colleges will compete and many Of the
men who achieved fame in the Olym-
pic games at London viii also be seen.

Tucson Elks are cooperating with
the Phoenix Elks in arranging for the
special trains that are to carry the
antlered ones to Los Angeles in July
10 attend the national convention of
the Benevolent Protective Order OF
Elks. There is a good natured rivalry
between the lodges of the two cities
and each is striving to have the great
est turnout Phoenix, however, will
have d slight advantage over Tucson
in membership as the Capitol City
lodge of the Elks is larger than the
Old Pueblo lodge.
1t seems almost a certainty now that
the Twin Buttes extension to give Tue
son direct railroad to Mexico will
he constructed. Chief Engineer R l..
Long of the Southern Pacific lines in
Mexico who has his headquarters In
this city, has taken charge of the mat
ter and he will arrange for the pre-
liminary work. 1t is predicted that the
necessary two miles Of track will be
completed before July 10, in order that
the line may enjoy the benefits of tax
exemptions for the next ten years as
provided for under a law passed by the
last Legislature.
Complete return Of the property as
sessment in this county by Assessor
John w. Began show that Pima county
has s7,750,000 worth of taxable prop
erty. This sum is an increase Of about
half million, according to the returns
made last wear.
School census reports just completed
show that Tucson has n school popu-
lation of 3,02S, which is an increase of
240 over the returns of a year ago. The
county ditricts have also shown an
Increase, both in the mining and in the
agricultural districts. The increase has
been especially noticeable in the Ril-
Tito section which is being rapidly
settled
President Geo. F. Kit of the cham
her of commerce is going steadily
ahead with his arrangements for an
Arizona day on the occasion of the visit
of President Taft to Tucson in the fall
The exact date Of the visit will be
made known later. 1t is possible that
President Taft will spend some time in
Phoenix, but otherwise an excursion
will be arranged from the Capitol City
to Tucson. as well as from Globe, Bis
bee, Nogales and other towns.
Tucson victories over Phoenix in the
baseball line do not appear TO have
had a good effect on either one of the
two cities The game for several weeks
past has been about as dead here as
it appears to be in the Capitol City.
on the Fourth of July the Globe team
will be here, but the strength of the
gSg-egaion from the mining town is
very uncertain. The Eagles viii have
charge of the Fourth of July ceIebra-
ton here.
Judge Edward Kent of Phoenix, who
aided Judge Campbell in clearing up
some business in the district court, has
gone to California on his vacation. The
district court here will not take Il re-

GLOBE WANTS
GOOD WORK
Enthusiastic Over Project For
Territorial Highway
GLOBE ROOSEVELT ROAD
Board Of Control Will Be
Asked to Designate It
and Levy Maximum Tax.
Letter to County Boards
of Supervisors.

j. 3. Grand. territorial engineer,
returned yesterday from Globe. where
he went in connection with the gem
eral project of establishing territorial
highways under the provisions of the
law passed by the last legislature
The people of the territory so far as
they have had an opportunity to
express themselves, seem disposed to
act as fast as possible in making
these most desirable improvements.
The Globe people, says Mr.. Grand
are very enthusiastic and have taken
hold of the matter vigorously. Ac-
companying Mr.. Grand were G. r
Mcintyre. the expert road builder of
California, and Dell NJ. Potter of
Clifton, both of whom gave material
help to the movement in Globe, Mr.
Potter announcing the beginning of
concerted action toward the same
end in his county. The Globe people
proved most hospitable in the enter
tainment of the guests and quite
responsive to what they had to say.
They were met by the Chamber
of Commerce which filled the office
of host and called a meeting for
Thursday night. As the city council
held a meeting the same night and
the members of the Chamber wanted
the councilmen present. the Thursday
night meeting was little more than a
conference in which MIR. Grand out
lined his plans and indicated what
he wished to talk about the next
night. Friday night the band was out

supervisors in each county:
June %. 1909
To the Honorable Board of Super
visors:-
Gentlemen-As you have no doubt
already been advised chapter 81 of
the Session Laws of 1909 provides
for the construction, maintenance and
improvement of territorial roads and
creates the office Of territorial en-
gineer.
Section of this chapter makes it
the duty of the territorial engineer
to aid the board of control from time
to time in such manner as they may
require in the selection and designa-
ton of territorial highways.
Section 6 of this chapter provides
that the board of control shall, in
addition to their present duties, per-
form the duties prescribed in this
act; and that they shall require the
territorial engineer from time TO time
as may be deemed requisite, to select,
map, plat and furnish estimates of
cost of construction of territorial
highways, etc, and that they shall
designate such road or extension
thereof as they may deem proper
and eXpedient to construct, and main
tain as 4 territorial highway.
Section of this chapter provides
among other things that road tax
not exceeding % cents on each s1Oe
assessed valuation of taxable prop
erty shall be levied by the territorial
auditor in all counties where terrific
rial highways are being constructed
during the period for which such
levy is made.
\ great deal of preliminary work
must be done before the board of
control can decide upon the course
it will pursue in the construction of
a general system of territorial high
ways.
At the direction Of the board of
control the territorial engineer has
been engaged for some time in the
preparation of a territorial map, which
viii have indicated thereon, all the
county roads now established through
out Arizona. Some weeks will elapse
before this work is finished and it
viii be impossible for the board to
adopt a definite plan for the location
and construction of a general system
of highways until the work is COM
plete.
Any plan the board may adopt must
have serious and timely considera-
ton. Surveys will have to be made.
the character of construction decided
with estimates of cost, all of which
requires time. 1t is the desire of the
board to construct highways in such
Arizona republican., 1909-06-28

manner and with such material as
will insure durability and at the same
time the smallest possible minimum
cost for maintenance.
1t must he borne in mind that while
a general system of territorial high
ways throughout Arizona will be a
splendid and magnificent asset. and
will almost Immediately add impetus
to the growth and development OF
our great domain, the cost of con-
struction and future maintenance is
an item that should not be lost sight
of. The board of control does not
believe that it is the desire of any
citizen of Arizona, no matter how
much of an enthusiast he may be
for good roads. to have the construc-
ton of such roads proceed at a rate
that viii cause many of our smaller
taxpayers untold hardship.
The board believes it wise TO pro-
coed slowly, but stands ready to carry
into effect the provisions of the law
as rapidly as the interests of the tax
payers of Arizona can be best sub
served; and in this respect, the board
of control desires the hearty cO-Opera-
ton and support of the several boards
of supervisors throughout Arizona,
Good Roads associations and kindred
organizations, organized to further the
establishment and construction of
good roads. in laying out main routes
o. travel and in obtaining estimates
of the amount of expenditures that
can be made during the next year
without hardship to taxpayers.
1t is not the desire of the board of
control to cause a tax to be levied
this year for the construction OF
territorial highways without consul
tation and advice from the boards of
supervisors of the several counties of
Arizona. At the present time the
board of control is without a single
communication from any authoritative
source in Arizona respecting the con-
struction of territorial highways. with
the exception of Maricopa county.
This county has asked for the limit
of assessment, other counties may
not want the limit. but unless the
board is advised of this fact it must
necessarily make its own decision.
The time when a tax levy must be
fixed is not far distant, and any ac-
ton that your board desires to take
in advising and cooperating with the
board of control in its efforts to carry
out the provisions of the law should
not be delayed.
Your early and prompt attention to
this matter is earnestly requested.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF CONTROL.

though the battle between Mayor Ben
Heney, a brother of Francis J. Heney,
the special san Francisco graft prose-
Cutor. and majority Of the city cOun-
Gil has been waging for three weeks,
there is apparently no change in the
situation. II is quite apparent, how
ever, that within a short time one or
the other side will have to come to n
showdown. There is now talk of a
special election to determine whether
the majority of the voters are with the
mayor or with the council majority.
The latter apparently are overlook
ing no advantage, as was shown by
their action in doing away with the
office of purchasing agent and build
ing inspector in the absence OF the
mayor, who is at present in San Fran
cisco on a business trip. This was
considered one Of the most important
offices in the city and was created
since the non-partisan administration
took office
No matter what the final outcome of
the scrap over the superintendency of
the water department may be, it is a
certainty that never again viii Tucson
support a non partisan ticket. 1t will
henceforth be straight republican and
straight democratic and the two old
parties win battle with each other as
they have in the past. One dose Of

BILLBOARD CHAT.
Method of Advertising That Will
Prove Improbable.

TIONS OuPTOhhdbiCs
The time will come when the bill
board as an advertising medium will
cease to exist for the keen business
men will not persist in keeping up any
sort of advertising that is Odious to
any considerable part Of the public.
Advertising of all kinds is merely invi-
cations, and if the invitation to buy
certain goods or at a certain house is
extended in an offensive manner no
good can result, but rather will the adj
vertiser be injured. There are many
who, like himself, refuse to buy of any
house or line of goods offered for sale
by this odious method, says a writer in
the Los Angeles Times. This loss add
ed to the cost of advertising certainly
brings the total expense up to a point
dangerously near the mere swapping
of Enthusiastically not a profitable
occupation.
That billbOards are nuisance and
more or less Objectionable to a ma
jOrity of our people is conceded by
nearly all and maintained by many
with argument quite conclusive. This
being so, it needs but a fuller express
sion of disapproval on the part of the
public to cause the business to wane
and eventually to die. If any billboard
proves Objectionable to you, make it
known. 1t is doubtless doubly so to
some one else, and if we all work to-
ward the abatement of public nui-
sances in cooperative way we shall
gradually approach the ideal standard
of citizenship and public cleanliness,
beauty and comfort. The most effec-
tive weapon against the billboard nu-
sance is healthy public opinion, and
this will come only through education.
Adjustment will come only through
public demand, and the way to educate
the people is to keep before them the
fact that billboards are somewhat OBJ
jectiOnable to all, very much so to
many and almost intolerable in a few.
Plenty of agitation will finally cause
those who advertise by this method
most freely to doubt its popularity and
therefore its value. When this doubt
becomes universal, the billboard will
SAONlJ OuI ouASly lduC 1lOn Tic lduu-
scape.
Goods should sell upon their merits,
and reasonable amount of newspaper
advertising would keep their name,
price and source of supply before the
public. The biggest frauds ever thrust
upon cOnfiding public have been ex-
plotted by the billboard proclamation
method, and where do they go wheR
all this brazen publicity ceases? But
year or so since the whole country
blazed with "Over the fence went hap
by Joe; CUFF was the food that made
him 60" But who eats "gunf" today
and where can it be purchased? When
any article is advertised by such a
sensational and questionable method it
is safe to presume that it lacks the
merit which is ever conducive to a
constantly growing demand In adj
dition to this fact, remember that bill
board advertising is the most costly of
all the various classes and that pur-
chasers of the goods must pay for it in
order that the wares may be sold at a
profit. Let us be fair, but keep up the
fight increasingly, and in the end we
shall surely win.
