ROADS GOOD BY
 SAN DIEGO WAY
Citizen of That Town Makes Trip from Coast to Douglas Within
 Five Days
AVOIDS SALTON SINK

The horderland route ol the ocean to ocean highway. is the only praCtt cable one according to \. owen Car rett outside writer of the Western Underwriting and Mortgage company. Of san Diego. Calif. Air Garrett makes this statement advisedly. having just made the trip from san Diego to Douglas in five days running time. in his Abbot-Detroit roadster
 From San Diego east tO Douglas there is practically a natural road which will require but little expense for upkeep," said Mir. Garrett In parts it is as fine as any to be found in all the country and in very few places is it actually bad. A very small amount. comparatively speaking. will place the road in first class shape for transcontinental tourists.
 Whoever prepared the road map Of the Douglas chamber of commerce and mines displayed more than ordinary knowledge of the topography of the roads as well as the surrounding country. The best way is via San Diego and thence to Los Angeles. There are but seven miles Of heavy sand on this route. We California people have our fight over the rout. ing as well as you Arizona people. los Angeles is attempting to secure the routing of the highway across the shifting sands of the Salton sink. This is impracticable both on account oi present conditions and the extreme difficulty of maintenance should a road be constructed. There is a stretch of l35 miles Of sand on the Los Angeles route via Beaumont.
 Our trip was pleasant in every de tail. We came through on our owr power entirely. We didn't even hay, to put on the chains to get througl the short sandy stretch l mentioned Our actual running time was five day. although we have spent seyeia days in each of the cities we have Wis ited I<Want 10 say that our -territor ial highway commission, which ha just gone out Of office, cannot be to' highly conplimented upon the typ uf roads it built in various parts o the state.

EXPEDITION IS FIRED
 UPON BY NAC0R|s
Went in Search of Stolen Cattle and Brought
 Back q Girl

As a sequel to the article which recently appeared in this paper in regard to an expedition from Nacorl Chico. in quest of stock stolen by the Apaches in the Sierra Madre, it was learned that the expedition has returned to the pueblo bringing some ten head of stolen horses and mules and an Apache girl of some fifteen years, whom they captured in the headwaters of the Rio Bonito, about fifteen miles from the Mormon col ony of Chuichupa.
 Four Apaches Escape. They were fired upon by the Ma coris but apparently not hurt. They had butchered some ten of the twen- ty cattle they took on the last raid and had a nice bunch of high grade cattle they evidently stole from the Mormons. They had quite. field ferced with pine logs and left four good American axes in their hut with i the cooking utensils.
 A neighboring ridge had a little | hut hidden among bOulders and oak : trees, which was evidently used as Ia lookout. commanding q good view ' of the few possible entrances into that basin, which is guarded by a somewhat broken precipice or parapet all around the north and east. | The little captive was dressed in ibuckskin knee boots with short skirt and jacket of the same material. AS I she came along the trail, being two | 4n made little piles of rock as signs to these who might follow her which were promptly destroyed by her cap tors.
 On reaching the pueblo she was al once put into long calico skirts, had her hair combed and was taken to the church.
 It is probable she will be taken back to the place of capture in an endeavor to treat with the Indians that they may let stock alone and feel flee to come into the pueblo for supplies. It is very doubtful ii the Indians would trust such an agreement

John Woolschlegcl and Alex Heron are the two best men in the world; or, at least, that is the way the child. ren of tho Central school feel about it. President Taft may be 6 good fellow and so far as the children are concerned. they wonld not care if ne is president again. but as to compar ing him with John Woolschlegel, pshawi-why he could so to con gress, if children voted.
 The cause of the sudden elevation into fame of the Royal confectioners was the distribution yesterday al noon of nine hundred Ice cream cones to the school children of Central school, nine hundred crisp. cream. filled cones. It was a free treat giv- en by the confectioners and 1t was superlatiyely q treat. for on the cal endar of the American youngster, summer time was invented by the weather man as q personal favor to the ice man. and children who like ice cream cones.
