 LITTLE FILLING IN

Acting street superintendent Hasier
 was at work yesterday in charge of a gang on Main street and stated that
 he was soon going to make move
 toward cleaning up Review alley. the
 only street which has not been cleanei
 cut since the heavy rains. The earth taken from there will be used in other street work and grading where it wiil be needed most.
 MT. HassIer stated ycsetrday that lthere has, with the exception of Re view alley. been little deposit of earth this year. This is the case up Tomb stone canyon where in the past there
 would be a large accumulation, but this year it has almost all passed of through the new subway. The ex captions are in the vicinity of Moon canyon. by the barns of the water company and in the neighborhood oi
 the Metz place. but elsewhere very
 little dirt and rocks have piled up.

C0CH|sE COUNTY EXHIBITS ARE
 NEEDED

PHOENIX, Aug. 20.-The tentative program now being compiled by the territorial fair commission for the coming annual fair to be held at Phoe- nix during the early part Of November,
 indicates that every subject of vital
 importance for good and better ex- position will be conducted on much
 broader lines than heretofore. The
 interest taken in the previous annual fairs by the various Arizona counties.
 illustrates not only the growing senti-
 ment of obtaining more excellent exhibit this year. but the desire that the same shall eclipse all previous fairs; also. in largely increasing the commercial. industrial, mineral and agricultural resources that have be. !: gun to ripen so promisingly and have marked the development of the great commonwealth of Arizona.
 Therefore, if Cochise county is to
 successfully compete with the balance
 of the counties of Arizona. it must
 have q creditable exhibit. The fair grounds is the place to educate the people to the advantages offered, and 1t is there that thousands of people from all over the west and east are
 imbued with the spirit of immigration 1 and investment. The educational feat
 ure of the fair Is inestimable. and in
 vites the visitor to become thoroughly posted concerning the resources ol
 our great territory, and therefore you
 can do no better than to enter some 1 thing at the coming annual fair. i All persons, including the business man, the rancher, the miner and ths stockraisers are requested to encour age a much better exhibit thar Cochise county, the banner county o
 the territory, has had on previous oc casions, and to contribute some arti cles in making up a creditabie ex hibit. By all means let us show the visitors at the fair what we have ana
 can produce.
 All parties having ores for exhibi
 should notify the county fair commis sioner in order to give time for tho | proper classification and placing o the same. There is plenty of room
 for you and your friends to place ar
 exhibit. Better suggest this to som, I of them and also give the matter care
 ful attention and consideration your self. A large exhibit from Cochiss county is needed and there is nt time better than the present to begiI
 pulling together and getting it 1T ! readiness.

LEGAL TROUBLES FOR
 DABOvCH INCREASE

The affairs of Chris Daboyich, who lately conducted the Arizona bar. have certainly become badly tangled up with the law. Yesterday replevin proceeding was added to the list of legal complications and it is not cer- tain that the end is yet
 In this affair first came a service of writ of attachment and the re- port that a general assignment was ta be made. Next day Miller & Will Hams filed petition in bankruptcy Ist Tombstone and yesterday Morrison & Dorr. in behalf of Chris Bocovanich commenced repievi1 suit in Justice Highs court Besides all of this the goods in question have been put ou, Of the premises formerly occupied by tho saloon.
 The proceedings of yesterday aIlege the purchase of certain of the goods by Bocavonich several weeks ago and the later purchase of other goods by him. The complaint was so drawn as to keep the amount claimed just within the figures which permit the bringing of causes in justice court.

CAMPING PARTY WILL START
 TUESDAY

Final preparations for the annual encampment of the Y. NJ. c. A. in the Huachucas are making and those who desire to make up the party should present their applications at the office of the Y. M. c. A.. in the Associa- ton building not later than noon tc- day as 1t is absolutely necessary for the management to know how many are going in order to make arrange ments in the way of provisions. sup plies, tents. etc.
 The party will leave on Tuesday morning by train and will proceed thus to Hereford from whence the journey will proceed by stage. A special railroad rate has been obtain ed for parties of ten or more of a cents each waytrdlh$ nuan ananan cents each way. and the stage fare is s1.5o for the round trip or s1.00 for 2 single way This wall make the fare for those who make up the main party s1.5o each way. The cost of main tainance in camp is s1O0 for boys under IS and SIPS for adults. Thus 1t is easy to figure out the exact cost of this inexpensive but pleasant out ing among the most pleasant surround ings and congenial company.
 It was said last night that the ar rangement for family tents had beer perfected so that wives of those ia string to go can accompany and also take the children. These family tent. will be enough removed from the main camp to insure absolute privacy, or a' much so as camp life can afford. The families will, however, eat at the regu lar mess with the other campers witt whom they may t.nirgle just as muci as they may desire.
 The camp will not be quite in the same spot as last year but a little further down and near houses wher,
 shelter can be found should this b, necessitated by heavy rains. Thi
 will be especially pleasant for what
 ever women and children may be in
 cluded in the family parties and no
 undesirable for all the campers. There has been an excellent pro
 gram of events, a-nusements al,
 sports arranged and everything nos
 points to the, most enjoyable out'n,
 ever held under the auspices of th | association.

GERMANY's FLEET OF AIRSHIPS FOR WAR

ThA crossing of the English Channel Iby Ia French aviator, renders very |tfmely an article in McC1ure's for Au- |eust. which deals principally with the )zeppelin airships, made in Germany under governmental supervision. There arc thus far three Zeppelin airshlps, iranainsr in length from 446 to 510 feet. IEzxperiments have proved that rapid tf3re runs of special and light construc- f<ton. can be fired from the decks Of Ethese airsaips at the rate of sixty 19 jarIch shells a minute from an altitude fof about a mile, with the airship trav- selinrs 60 miles an hour-and thus pre- ssuentinE an almost impossible target for r1ns on land. They can carry crews 5oe from nine to twelve men, two to ID machine guns, or with fewer guns. !several tons of high explosives, and Ethev can travel from 600 to 1000 miles v,sthoa,t laIlding Their cost is com lparatively small; 40 of them can be ibud1t at the cost of one Dreadnaught. EIt is now predicted that airshtps 800 fleet in length will eventually be con Esructed, capable of carrying large military crews and many rapid fire or machine guns, and of remaining in the lair one or two weeks. Germany IS just completing a s1.5oo,000 plant for fhe construction of airsnips, and Is expected to have a fleet of 40 at the earliest possible date.
 Of what use will armies be when
 such war agencies come into play? !! or navies either? Machine guns would wipe out armies "as with a. sponge; i; explosives would destroy Dread narghts.
 Germany's "war lord" is evidently prspaxdnx to susbjugate the world, Or at least to be ready for the job. upon .Que occasion.

As was expected, in view of the packing of the Tariff Conference com mittee in favor of the Senate bill, the compromise reached is largely in favor of that measure-that is, revision mostly upward. The labors of Presi- dent Taft and Chairman Payne could secure only free hides and free oil, the latter of which is desired by Standard Oil; Senator Aldrich secures duties on coal, iron ore, lumber, print paper, gloves, hosiery, etc. That. is, the SUD- porters of revision upward gain the big end of the deal.
 Whether these concessions to the Senate will be accepted, first, by the House, and then by President Taft, is now the question. Speaker Cannon will quite probably succeed in forcing the jug-handled compromise through the House, but it will be "a bitter piH'' for that body. President Taft may conclude that part of a loaf is better than no bread, and claim that the making of hides and oil free of duties fulfils his campaign pledges.
 Senator Aldrich is inddsputably the most dextrous manager of high-tariff contests that has ever yet appeared. But for President Taft and MT. Payne he would have swept the field clean even against them, he very nearly did so.

Plans Going on to
 Harness He'll Gate

New York, July 29.-Besides causing almost daily disaster of some sort to craft navigating it's waters, a new use is to be found for the turbulent cur rents of Hell Gate which sweep around Hallets Point at the rate of five to eight miles an hour on the different changes of the tides. For several weeks experiments looking to the har- messing and utilization of this tre- mendous water power have been under way.
 These experiments are being con ducted with the utmost secrecy, and the ma chinery or motors which are anchored within the current zone are jealously guarded. At present the ex- periments are off the southeast end of the Government lighthouse, although before the experimenters get through every available point in Hell Gate will be tried out.
 As near as can be learned the mo- tors used in the experiments are de- signed to try the velocity of the cur nts, and also to determine both the feasibility of utilizing the. water power at the place and what water power might be expected. It is understood that the experimenters believe that power sufficient to run electric light plants for the entire City of New York can be gathered from the waters that sweep through the Gate.

COURT JU'STIFIES
STONES ASSAULT.


 Baltimore, Md, July 29.-Declaring that in the circumstances the assault was juStifiable, Police Magistrate Eu- gene Grammar of the Central District yesterday afternoon dismissed the charge against Senator William Stone of Missouri of having assaulted Law renee G. Brown, a negro waiter on a Pennsylvania Railroad train.
 Senator Stone" said the justice, "I have travelled a great deal in my time. I can fully appreciate the treatment that you received at the hands of Brown, who, it has been shown, was dfscourteous in the extreme. I feel that you had sufficient provocation, and that you were absolutely justified in reprimanding and striking Brown. G dismiss you.'' :. The crowd applauded until the Mag istrate rapped sharply with his gavel for order. Senator Stone was sur rounded by congratula ting friends. among them being Murray Vandiver. the Treasurer of Maryland, and others prominent politically here, as he left the station house, in which he had spent a most uncomfortable hour or two last night.
