VERDE WAGON BRIDGE SITE
Territorial Engineers Assistants Work ing on Beaver Creek Securing Best Territorial Highway and Bridge Site.

Robert Finney. the Beaver Creek stockman and orchardist. was in the city, yesterday. and makes the im- portant announcement that Engi- neer Parker of the territorial north and south road. with big corps of assistants, was running lines for the road along Beaver Creek and in the Verde Valley. The road had heen located in preliminary sur vey from Camp Verde to the base of Beaver Hill, where the latter assends steep grade to the plateau and the Mogolons.
 Before the route is definitely de- cided upon a general reconnaissance of the section will be given.
 At what point the long bridge will cross the Verde river. was not learned, but before Engineer Park CT leaves the work in that section this will be decided upon. The structure will be a gigantic one, and it will be built of the same ma terial as the Florence bridge It will also be completed this fall. ac- cording to statement made some time ago by J. B. Girand. the ter ritorial engineer.
 Bids are asked for the construc- tion of the first thirteen miles of the road leading out of Prescott to the south. and the advertisement to this effect is published in the Journal-Miner.
 In speaking of this movement, Mir. Finney states that the presence of the engineers in that section and the possibility of the big highway getting under headway at some fu- ture date. is a most welcome one, and the sentiment of the heavy farming interests of that portion of the country is in hearty approval of the project. In fact. he says. no public move meets with such a strong endorsement as this highway running from the north to the south, and with its creation the ad vantages of the road will be exper- fenced from the moment it is open to the travelling public. and result in much good to all interests it will touch, giving the people an oppor- tunity to see the country which un- der present conditions is impracti- cable and out of the question: Prescott Journal Miner.

of the toad, the investigators express
the opinion that many toads reach an
age of at least ten or fifteen years.
They also believe it possible for the
toad to live for limited time with
out food, but doubt stories about toads
being found in rocks and trees.
The toad" says the pamphlet. "is
a nocturnal animal, and ventures out
during the day only when tempted by
an abundance of food or when the air

fore on cool evenings 1t emerges from

who, after being indicted, was finally
discharged for want of evidence.
A special agent of the department
of justice sent out to investigate the
charge made a written report that Dr.
Perrin should never have been in
dicted; that improper methods were
employed to bring about his indict-
ment, and even after the government
officers were aware that they could
not make a case against DR.. Perrin,
the indictment was allowed to hang
over his head for many months, to his
great personal detriment.
The methods of francis ]. Heney
and Detective Burns may be inquired
into, and it is not unlikely that some
attention may be given to the charge
made against the method of admins
tering the criminal laws in Alaska,
especially at juneau, where the
United States attorney and United
States marshal were recently removed
from Office on the complaint of Gov.
Walter E. Clark.
The resolution directing an investi-
cation was offered by Senator Hey
burn of Idaho, and. was based upon
reports in newspapers of the police
methods employed in the Sayler muir
der case at Atlantic City. That case
was not one with which the federal
government had to do, but, in as much
as the methods complained of may
infringe the constitutional guarantees
of the individual citizen, the commit
tee feels that it has jurisdiction, and.
