DELL M. POTTER
 TALKS ON HIGHWAY
Meets With Delegation from the Commercial Club on Ocean to
 Ocean Highway Matters.

Friday a telegram was received from Del M. Potter, organizer and chief booster for the ocean to ocean highway, by the Mesa Commercial club that he wants to meet some of the members at the club rooms at 8 o'clock that night The club mem- bers gathered at the hour named, but MT Potter was delayed on account of fire troubles, and it was over an hour later when he arrived.
 Those who have seen and heard Mir. Potter know that he is a rapid fire talIer and a man whose enthu- siasm and personal magnetism car ries conviction to his hearers. He told the club what had been done and was being done and assured them that Mesa was to be one of the points through which the national highway would pass. He told in de- tail of the work of the various states in boosting for the project, saying that there was no longer any doubt of final success
 A movement was On foot to secure federal aid that of a number of the states having already been secured. It was planned to have a good ma cadamized road from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the time the Panama Pacific fair opened in 1915, over which fully one hundred thousand automobiles would pass. Owners tof cars all through the east were en- thusiastic boosters for the move ment
 MT Potter wants the Commercial club members and everyone interest ed in seeing the road built, to get out and boost; use their influence with the state authorities to cooperate with other states through which the road will pass to get all the help possible.
 Potter is always in a hurry, as he has the weight of many duties on his shoulders. and made the stay as brief IS possible His coming and going are something like the baby Whirl- winds of the desert-cOme with a rush and leave with the same ra- pidity But it is good to see him and hear him talk.

and met with the same success; that on the goth he purchased a third bot tie and paid the same price. He said he turned the three bottles over to the sheriff, after marking them He identified the bottles introduced m court as the same that he pur- chased
 Sheriff Adams testified that he sent the bottles by express to Tucson to De analysed and that they were re- turned to him, two of them unopened the third with part of the contents missing. Professor Vincent was placed on the stand and identified one bottle by his private mark; said
 he had analysed the contents of that bottle and found that it contained a little over 4 per cent alcohol. about the same percentage that BudWeiser beer contained
 James Murphy, constable from the Phoenix precinct, was placed on the stand; bottle was opened by the district attorney and MT. Murphy took a couple of swallows of the con- tents; he pronounced it Budweiser beer
 When cross examined by the attor- ney for the defense, MT. Hughes tes- titled that he was employed by the sheriffs office to work up cases against the sellers of two per cent" who were supposed to be violating the law; that he could not remember whether there were any others pres ent when he bought the Budweiser or not; that he was still employed on the same work
 Attorney Lyman made short talk
 to the jury and asked for a convic-
 tiOn on the evidence Attorney Dougherty chose to place no wit
 nesses on the stand, leaving the jury to determine whether or not the state had made a case. The jury
 was out a long time, took several ballots, argued the case from every standpoint, but failed to agree. The | voting stood six to six, it requiring
 nine to convict or acquit Finally, 1 the twelve all agreed that it would 1 be impossible for them to agree, and
 the court discharged them. The sec ond trial will be had when it will be ! convenient for the district attorneys i office to be represented.

MR. POTTER
 TALKS ROAD
Gives the People of Tempe Some New Ideas on the Ocean to Ocean Highway Movement; Joint Board Meeting Held

Yesterday was a rather busy day in Tempe. Two very important meet ings were held in the afternoon, both well attended and both of much in- terest They were the mass meeting of the citizens of this district in the office of the Tempe Canal com pany to discuss the drainage matter and the joint meetings of the boards of trade of the valley.
 The two gatherings united at the start at the canal office, where Dell M Potter of ocean to Ocean high way fame addressed the joint gath ering. MT. Potter spoke for probably an hour and every moment of the time was spent to good advantage by his hearers Mr. Potter is a good talker and is an enthusiast on his subject He went on to explain that the ocean to ocean highway move ment as at present planned, provides for the government spending one half the amount required and the various states the other half. What funds these various states have al ready spent on roads that may be-
 ccme a part of this great national highway, however. is to be credited
 to the state on it's share of the eX-
 pense. MT. Potter pointed out that
 some were of the opinion that the
 constitution made no provision for
 federal expenditures of this nature
 He explained that this impression
 vas an erroneous one. That the gov
 ernment had as much right to ap-
 propriate funds for this work as il
 has for river and harbor work.
 He urged the hard work of local organizations and asked the help oi every one in the undertaking, which he appreciates as well as any one is an immense one. His talk created fine impression and the matter oi a big highway from ocean to ocear
 has been given a great impetus II this section.
 At the conclusion of Mr Potter; address. the joint board meeting con vened at the office of Andrew Neil sen. Nealy all the boards of the val ley were represented at the meet ing and much of importance was ac' complished Among other things ]! was agreed, at the suggestion O. Harry Welch of the Phoenix board that the different towns of the val | ley issue a uniform folder settini l forth the advantages of that par | ticular locality, to be used in adver | tising the valley this coming season | Another matter of much importance | taken up was that of placing signs on all travelled roads. The board O supervisors will shortly be in a DO sition to assist in this matter anC l different automobile tire companies have offered to provide the signs
 committee was appointed to follow
 this line up to it's successful con | clusion.
 The next meetings of the join l boards will be held on the 12th o ! October, probably in Glendale. Tn l 5th is the regular date but on tha day the National Geographical so
 ciety will meet in Phoenix.

THE SONG OF THE CAMP.

"Give us a song," the soldier cried, The outer trenches guarding, When the heated guns of the camp
 allied
 Grew weary of bombarding. The dark Redan in silent scoff Lay grim and threatening under, And the tawny mound of the Malakoff No longer belched it's thunder. There was a pause. A guardsman said We storm the forts tomorrow; Sing while we may; another day Will bring enough of sorrow" They lay along the battery's side Below the smoking cannon; Brave hearts from Severn and from
 Clyde,
 And from the banks of Shannon. They sang of love and not of fame; Forgot was Britain's glory; Each heart recalled a different name, But all sang Annie Laurie" Voice after voice caught up the song Until its tender passion Rose like an anthem, rich and strong, Their battle eve confession. Dear girl, her name he dared not
 speak,
 But as the song grew louder Something upon the soldiers cheek Washed off the stains of powder. Beyond the darkening ocean burned The bloody sunsets embers, While the Crimean valleys learned How English love remembers. And once afain a fire of hell Rained on the Russian quarters With scream of shot and burst of shell And believing of mOrtars. And Irish Nora's eyes were dim For a singer dumb and gOry, And English Mary mOurns for him Who sang of Annie Laurie" Sleep soldiersi still in hOnOred rest Your truth and valor wearing; The bravest are the tenderest, The loving are the daring.
