COURT SAYS HUSBAND is
ENTITLED TO ALIMONY

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. ga hus-
band sued for divorce is entitled to
alimony and support under certain
conditions, according to decision
of the Supreme Court just handed
down. The husband declared he was
entitled to money for his support
during the trial of the case.
5 "a separate and equitable action
as the suit of q husband against his
wife will lie to compel the wife to
support and maintain the husband
when amply able to do so and when
she has not been deserted or aband-
onede by the husband, when he, be-
cause of age and infiirmity, is I'M
able to gain his own livelihood" says
the Supreme Court.

ANOTHER CRIME ADDED
TO BUCK|NCHAN'S LIST

the Stewart brothers, aged Confed-
crate veterans, were robbed and slain
and their home afterwards burned
over their mutilated bodies.
The murder of the Stewart broth
ers and the killing yesterday morn
ing of Curtis Branch recalls the per-
petration within the past six months
of two other crimes, although of les
ser proportion.
On July Is last the station at
Mante0 was broken into and robbed
The thief or thieves secured an iron
box in which were kept the funds
of the station, and, after taking the
receptacle up the railroad about 900
yards, forcibly opened it and took
therefrom between $12 and $40 in
money and scattered the remainder
of the contents of the box, consist
ing chiefly of number of official
papers, alongside the tracks.
Burns Ferryman's Home.
Shortly after this the home of a
ferryman living near Manteo was
robbed and afterwards burned.
Luckily, the ferryman was absent
from home, or another murder would
doubtless have been added to Buck
ingham's already long and steadily
growing list.

Never before were such conditions

WILL DEMONSTRATE
HOME CANDY MAKING

What promises to be of more than
usual interest to the fair sex is the
demonstration of candy-making to
be given at Hughes Drug Store on
December by Mrs. H. Clay Shultz,
of Greenville. As a producer of de-
icious homemade chocolates and
bon-bons Mrs. Shultz has a reputa-
ton which extends beyond the con-
fines of this county. At the State
Fair recently held in Richmond she
took two prizes for her candy, and
she has also been awarded honors
on other occasions for CONNECTIONS of
her own manufacture. The demon
stration will embrace every process
of candy making, the selection and
mixing of the material, the cooking
and so on through to the stage where
the finished product is ready for eat
ing.

ANOTHER MEMBER FOR
''KISSLESS BRTDES'' CLUB

New York, Nov. 29.-Another
young woman, nominated by her
husband for membership in the ap-
parently growing class of ''kissless
Brides" is defendant in suit for
marriage annulment here. The plain
tiff, DR.. Gastano F. Sameralli, al
leges that while during his court
ship of Severini Giovanni she had
been seemingly affectionate, she grew
"chilly as ice" after marriage and re-
fused to permit him to demonstrate
his love. arg
In her answer the defendant denies
that she was not an affectionate
wife and claims that she was oblig-
ed to leave her husband because of
his ungovernable temper.

Royal Thanksgiving Spread.

Invitations, in the form of "An Ex-
cellent Thanksgiving Proclamation, -
have been issued by the management
to the dinner to be served at the
Virginia Hotel today. Long be-
fore now Proprietor A. T. Moore had
established for himself a reputation
as caterer of the thirty-third degree
and when one has his word for it
that he will endeavor to Guido even
his own best effort on the present
occasion some real glad feast may be
anticipated. The invitation itself is
as attractive bit of printing as has
ever beensissued by local concern.

teen counties in the state have the entire increase in population. The remaining counties have either stood still or lost in population.
 In the nine counties which have over loo miles each of "good roads, 7" and have stood for improvement. the aggregate increase in population has been 10000. In four other eOun- ties, Boone, Marion, Rails and Greene, none of which have a mileage of over 100 miles of good roads, but ih each of which a systematic cam paign for improved highways and other needs have been made, the population was increased by 19,166. Greene, the banner county in the good roads movement, showed the greatest increase in population.
 The decrease in population was in those counties wherein no campaign for advancement was made. De- crease is a sure sign of stagnation, and the above information shows be- yond doubt that those places and communities not up and doing are being left behind in this age of advancement. No one cares to settle ir a country where there are no roads and other public improvements and where the local inhabitants have not faith in the country.
 Arizona can well profit by the lesson learned from Missouri's een- sus record. The lesson may be even brought right down to our own com munity. Yavapai county possesses as many opportunities as any place on earth. It only remains for our people to be alive and advance along with the other Western com munities and advancement will go forward in greater strides in the fu- ture than in the past. The Prescott people have in the past been pro- gressive and have urged and assist ed in securing better highways. The direct results being so apparent they should now be encouraged to great CT efforts in the future, although Yavapai county has the best roads ih the Territory.

A four horse power gasoline pumping plant was installed in order to as certain the extent of the volume, af- ter the water line had reached to within sixty feet of the surface Continuous pumping since that meas urement was established has failed to lower the flow and the belief is that there is a possibility of ar tesian water being within range if greater depth is given. This. is the first time that water has been dem onstrated in that portion of the do- main, although several wells have reached similar depths. Mir. Muteh- Ter is located on the east side of the railroad track, about one mile from the station. John Roseman, who brings this good news, was in the city yesterday from that sec tion.

CONDUCTOR NABS
 SECTION HOUSE BURGLAR
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(tr0m w edneSday>S s Dally-)
 Through the efforts of Freight Conductor H. D. Shaw, of the s. F., P. & P. railroad, justice mas been materially assisted in running down burglar named W. D. Willis, after the latter had accomplished the rob- bery of the section house at Rams gate of many valuable articles. The alleged offender entered that place, after he had been ejeeted from the train. He forced an entrance to the building occupied by the section foreman, and after he took to the road there was nothing left of value. The best clothes in the house, from headgear to footwear, including un- dershirts, rain coat, pocket knives, hand valise, postage stamps and large and miscellaneous assortment of personal articles, included the har- vest of the hungry hobo. On ad- vices from the sheriff's office in this city, with a description of me man, Conductor Shaw effected his capture yesterday, at Hillside. Willis was somewhat reluctant to surrender and becoming reealcitrant, was put into a caboOse on the side track by the railroad official. The preeautiOn was taken to place a big paddock on the door, and in the coop Willis had the discomfort of passing sev eral hours without anything to eat, and had but little fresh air to in nale.
 He was brought to the cour: house last night on Conductor Shaw's train, and was bitterly aggrieved that a new sleuth at the game ef feeted his capture All the stolen property was recovered.

 With the taking over of the prop erty by the United States Mining, Smelling and Refining company, we expect to see great things done for that section of Mohave county.

OCEAN To OAECN
 TRIP IN AN AUTO
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 One of the most interesting and novel automobile journeys that has ever been undertaken in the West, is that of c. J. Foster, who is en- deavoring to cross the continent from San Francisco to New York, and who arrived in Prescott Monday evening. His mission is not alone one in which to see the country, but combines business with touring. MT. Foster, in speaking of his long jour ney, states that he left San Fran cisco one month ago, and has visited nearly all railroad towns on the line of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads. From MOjave he kept going down the line until Barstow was reached. From that point he traversed the old stage road to Needles, encountering but few obstacles. After leaving Needles his progress was attended with de- lays of one kind and another, when Nelson, in -Yavapai county, brought the grief that al autoists encounter at one time or another in invading new country. No roads were avail able for many miles, and in one instance MT. Foster states ne was compelled to use railroad ties to get over gulch, while the route was so barren of water that he had to explore the country for a mile and half before he secured a supply. Nine days were taken up in the trip from Kingman to Prescott. From Seligman to this city, with the ex- ception of about four miles, the roads were fairly good. He has a massive machine of the White Steamer type, and is equipped with every facility to meet contingencies. He is accompanied by Mrs. Foster and their two children, with R. H. Beverely, as mechanician. He re- sumes the journey Saturday morning, going to Phoenix, thence to Tucson, up the Rio Grande through New Mexico, and thence on east via Den yer.

Several other inquiries have been received this week rela- tive to motoring tours. Such visits mean much to Prescott.
 An instructive lesson is gained from the census reports of Missouri, in connection with good roads. Thir

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 3. The Roosevelt dam, the stupendous en- -zineering work in connection with Ehe Salt River irrigation project, is completed and will be formally open ed next month by former President Roosevelt, in honor of whom the dam was named. Preparations already are E1nder way to make the opening a gala occasion. The event will be at 5ended by representatives of the national government, public officials -@sf Arizona and neighboring States and by many eminent engineers.
 The dam Is regarded as one of the snarvels of modern engineering. To- 'S:ated in an almost inaccessible can yon, about 70 miles northwest of Ehis city and 60 miles from the near est railroad, its rapid and successful construction has been watched with dnterest by engineers all over the world.
 At the point where the dam crosses the Salt River the stream runs through a narrow gorge, across which 'Ehe mage barrier of stone and cement stretches to length of 1,OSO feet. The dam is 2SO feet high, or about the height of the Flatiron building, ln New York City. On top its length IS equal to that of two city blocks, and provides a roadway twenty feet wide The dam contains 326,000 cubic yards of masonry. The blocks uof stone were blasted from the can 1yon walls and the hundreds of tnous- >ands of barrels of cement used in the construction was manufactured by the government in a mill erected on the ground.
 Behind this imposing structure of stone and cement the waters of the Surbulent stream will form the larg- est artificial lake in the world. The great reservoir will be twenty-five zniles long and more than 220 feet deep against the dam. It will have
Weekly journal-miner., 1911-02-08

capacity of 56,62s,OOO cubic feet, or sufficient water to cover the state of Deleware foot deep.
 The reservoir will irrigate 240,00O acres of land and it is estimated by expert agriculturists that the crops of single season will pay for the en- tire investment of the government. which mas been about $s,54O,OO0. Not only will the great dam save up the water for the dried fields, but it will also light the farmers homes, give them the power for their telephone lines, run their mills and factories and also operate lines of railway if desired. All of this will be done through the medium of a great pow er-nOuse which the Government has erected at the base of the dam and which will be used to convert the waterfall into electricity.
 The completion of the dam is ex- pected to result in the influx of thousands of farmers to the valley and this in turn will create a demand for all classes of labor. The whole project is a part of the Government $ great irrigation service, which as some one mas said, "is making the dry places wet and the wet places dry'. In a most wonderful way the var ious irrigation projects in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and other sections of the west are rapidly chang ing the country from land of sage brush and cactus to one of prosper ous farms and flourishing town. e.
 Of all the projects of the kind yet undertaken by the government the Roosevelt dam is the largest in point of dimensions. It is about twenty, five feet higner than the famous Shoshone dam in northwestern Wyom ing. which is the largest structure of its kind completed up to the present time. The natural difficulties pres ented in the construction of the ShOs hone dam were, however much great CT than in the Roosevelt project.

SULPHIDE ORE IS
 UNCOVERED IN GERMANIA

At a depth. of 64 feet in the new main working shaft of the Germania Gold and Copper Mining company, a body of four feet of sulphide ore was cut a few days ago, that is attract ing considerable sinterest, the report of which was confirmed yesterday by the arrival of Henry Barksehat, gen eral manager. In speaking of the de- velOpment he says the work to date has progressed rapidly and the fav- orable conditions are somewhat of a surprise, considering the limited cap ital.
 This enterprise is among the new ones organized in the Lynx Creek region in the past few months. The operating company purchased the old Rateliff claims and after installing machinery and erecting many build ings. began work in quiet and practical way. In character the ore body is similar to that of the Mud hole and other producing mines, but few miles distant, and for this reason the Germania ground is at tracing attention. Extension ground to the Germania is all located, and continuous belt to the Senator from the Mudhole is under ownership.
