OPPOSES CONDUIT EXTENSION.
Secretary of War Say. Road would
Be Too Costly.

Because Of the large sum involved the
Secretary Of War yesterday reported ad-
versely on the bill introduced in the
House and Senate appropriating 10000
for the construction of an extension TO
the Conduit road from the Anglers Club
tc Great Falls. The report is based on
the opinion of Col. Langitt, who Is in
charge of the District water supply sys-
tenn which was indorsed by Maj. Gen.
Bixby, chief of engineers Of the army.
"The work contemplated" said the re-
Port, would be very difficult piece OF
road construction. Neither time nor
funds are available for preparing care
ful estimate. but from the data at hand
II is believed that the cost of the road
contemplated would be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000"

QUEEREST PRISON IN WORLD
Arizona County Jail Is Blasted Out o.
Mountain of Solid Quartz
Rock.

When the authorities of Graham
county, Arizona, decided to look about
'or place in which to confine crimi-
nails. they found natural depression
in the side of hill This was enlarged
into what might be called an artificial
cave, divided into four compartments
The cave was eXcayated parallel to the
side of the mountain In which 1t was
made, and daylight admitted by holes
blown out of the wall with explosives.
the windows being guarded by net
work OF heavy steel bars. The en-
trance to the depression was also
closed In the same manner, and .
vestibule or porch Of masonry built
out from 1t to provide quarters for the
sheriff and his assistants. This vesti-
bule is also divided into compart-,
ments, which are connected by gates
OF steel bars. The only way OF enter
Ing the prison is through the vestibule
OF masonry, and in order to escape
the inmates would have to cut their
way through three sets OF bars which
are an inch in thickness, az the win
dows are so high up above the rock
forming the floor of the cells that they
could not reach them. 1t is necessary,
however, to have a very secure place.
as the criminals in this part Of he
country are of a most desperate class.
and the inmates frequently include
murderers and highwaymen. The
mountain which has thus been turned
quartz rock, and the excavation was
made principally by the use OF explo-
sives. The jail is located in the town
OF Clifton, the county seat.-Wtds

STATEWIDE FIGHT
TO BE CARRIED ON
LEAGUE ISSUES LETTER
LEADERS SAY
COURT DECISION STRENGTH
EMS POSITION.

Little Rock, July 1.-THE Anti
Saloon League has again undertaken
to put through the statewide prohi-
bition bill which it initiated, and
which has just been declared by the
supreme court TO be valid, and not
menaced by a joker that would defeat
its purpose eventually The league
has been idle for six weeks awaiting
court action, and it is now so late
that the proposed statewide cam
paign originally planned will be
abandoned. The following letter has
been sent out to the friends of pro-
hibition:
THE executive committee Of the
Arkansas Anti-Saloon League, on the
9th of June, issued a statement set
ting forth the fact that one of the
state courts had decided that any
municipality or county could initiate
a measure to vote for saloon and
thereby destroy the effect of state
wide prohibition. Further, suit to
enjon the submission of the state
wide prohibition bill to a vote of the
people had been brought, and we rec
commended that the campaign for the
election of the statewide prohibition
bill be discontinued and that every eff
fort be turned towards the vote
against license. Conditions at that
time were such that we could not pro-
coed with any guarantee of protec-
ton, even if we succeeded, and fur
thermore, it would have appeared as
if in defiance of the courts if we con-
tinued our campaign Therefore, we
voted to discontinue. We never de-
clared or purposed to abandon our
efforts for statewide prohibition and
now since the supreme court has kill
ed the Joker in the initiative
amendment, and has dismissed the in
junction against our statewide bill,
removing all doubts as to the legal
ity of the bill and clearing away all
the obstacles to the passage of the
bill, the Anti-Saloon League there
fore now advises the resumption of
the campaign for the passage of the
statewide bill. Our original plans
for an extensive campaign have been
thwarted and we now call upon all
who favor statewide prohibition to
exert themselves in arousing interest
in behalf of the bill. The state
league promises its influence, advice
and assistance wherever possible to
render it. The bill should appeal to
every voter who has the interest of
his state and the good of humanity at
heart

Yellow Jackets Held SteepIA.

A contractor and three carpenters
were painfully stung when they
climbed to the top Of the First Bap-
fist church, in New Castle, Del, re-
Gently, to make repairs to the roofs.
Thousands CT yellow jackets had made
their home in the belfry, and they re-
sented the intrusion and drove the
men to the ground. One of the men
made his way to the belfry and with
tar paper closed all exits by which the
insects could escape. Then he placed
four sulphur candles under the cupola
and lighted them. After the candles
had burned out enough dead insects
were found to fill peach basket to
overlooking. and the carpenters then
resumed work on the church roof.
