MADDOCK AND PIERCE OFF ID PANAMA ID
 INSPECT CANAL
We'll Known Contractor and Legislator Accompanied
 By Ben Pierce

Thomas Maddock, assemblvman of Coconino county and one of the largest and best known contractors in the southwest, accompanied by his faithful lieutenant Ben Pierce, sailed from New ,Orl ans Wednes- day of this week, after a SIX days delay in the- Crescent City, for Panan a.
 Maddock and Pierce left Williams early last week and were to have sailed from New Orl ans last Sun day, but the train was delayed and they missed the steamship by six hours. Assemblyman Maddock has purposed to see the big ditch before it was filled with water, but in this he may be disappointed as dis patches during the week announced the plans for blowing up one of the holding dams and filling the famous Culebra cut. Maddock also is deeply interested in all that pertains to concrete work and probably in no other enterprise since history began has this form of work been studied and brought to perfection as on the Panama canal.
 The two men will be gone nearly a month. MT. Maddock was eager to have Mrs. Maddock join him for the trip, and all arrangements were made to that end, with Mrs. Mad docks mother taking care of the bright young Maddockes during hel absence, but smiling baby faces were too much for the mother
 heart when it came to the test, ano Mrs. Maddock did not go.

New York, August 2S.-It is not given to adventurers alone to have adventure. Adventure will come to the cottage as well as castle. Witness the case of William Hol- lingshead who arrived on a Cunar- der today. He spent his vacation along the Mediterranean. One night arriving at a small village in Italy he strolled into the inevitable inn and ordered some wine.
 Sitting over in a darkened cor ner of the room were three strangers with a bottle of wine on the table between them. They wor1 fierce mustacnios d smoked furiously at cigarettes. Hollingshead spent his money lavishly like any sailor ashore after being three months aboard ship. He must have spent as much as 20 cents, when he stepped outside and sauntered along the roadside taking in the beautiful moonlight scenery. At bend in the road he was bounced upon by the three men, a bag forced over his head and his arms tied behind him. He was dragged out into the country and down a mountainside, rot know ing whith CT, or what dreadful fate awaited him. Ar ived at cave he was un' covered but still had his hands bound. From what little Italian he knew, he gathered that the bah dits were awaiting the arrival 0 their chief, who was said to be on of the most desperate pirates in thu

TRIP ID HOP| DANCE SHOWS
 HUNT IS K
One of the Primitive Boys Who Laughed at i'll Luck
 And Helped Pull Out
Official And Newspaper Party Have one Great
 Outing in North

A lot of people in Arizona look upon official Governor George Wash ington P. Hunt as distinct frost. The boast is made by the governor political opponents that if he dares to come forward at the primaries in 1914 for governoo, senator, con gressman, state senator, assembly, man, sheriff, county clerk, consta- ble, supervisor, roadmaster or any old job, he will be buried under a mass of condemnatory ballots which will show him just what the people of Arizona think of him officially.
 But whatever the Arizona citizen and citizenesses think of His Ex- cellency George Washington Peter Hunt, he is alright primitively; one ot the boys who goes out on a trip facing all kinds of hardships, meet ing them cheerfully, in fact more cheerfully than anybody else, and laughing at the other fellows who get down in the mouth when the auto hits muddy hill and every body has to get out and play mule ask William F. Dermopt about his mule experience in the cold  gray hours of last Monday morning, and Bob Wente; they will tell about just how much of real primitive manhood it takes to play mule on muddy hill.
 Hunt, the prince of good fellows by the test of real manhood, was abundantly proven during the trip to and from the Hopi Indian dance last week at Hualpi The governor, accompanied bv Warden R. B. Sims, of the state penitentiary, Har- " Welch, the live secretary of the Phoenix Board of Trade, Jack AL kire, head of the big Alkire print ing house in Phoenix, Lyle Abbott, the brilliant reporter of the Phoenix Republican, Bob Turnbull, of the Arizona film company and Chaeuffer Harry Shea, mo.ored from Phoenix to Hualpai under weather conditions which tested the hardihood of the entire party. Time and again the big state machine was down and seemingly out, and just as often Governor Hunt shed his coat, one time his shirt, and another time even his pants, when the machine stalled in midstream, to grab th' rope and never let up until the ma chine was high and dry and cleaned up for fresh start.
 At one time, six miles this sid of Hualpai, the governor part. came across the big Rabbit ma chine, of Flagstaff, seemingly hope lessly begged. In the begged ma chine were Mrs. Rabbit, Miss Bal bitt and Miss Helen Rabbit, be sides male appendages who scene dazed by the plight. Led by Gov ernor Hunt, the official party lugge rocks to build a foundation for tn swamped machine, and accordin to Welsh and the rest of the partl Hunt lugged the biggest rocks, kel the party in constant uproar wit his good natured sallies, and sent bunch of Hunt boosters back Flagstaff which will very like turn that Standpat republica stronghold into Hunt hotbed

COLONEL MAKES MEXICAN IDEA
 VERY CLEAR
Statement TO McFarlane, of Golfers During
 Snake Dance
Only a Second Lieutenant's War if Foreigners do
 Not Take Hand

That the var with Mexico, if it comes, is very likely to prove what Colonel Theodore Roosevelt terms a "second lieutenant war, and that the fighting ex-president will take no part in the possible war unless Japan should happen to get cpcky and throw the power of her navy tn the side of Mexico in hopes of big territorial and naval base conccs- sions to the south, is the most inter esting real news coming out of Hualpai, scene of the annual Hrpi snake dance.
 According to very high state official, who passed through Will Hams on his way back to the capi- tai at Phoenix last Saturday, Colo nel Roosevelt made the following statement, quoted almost verbatim to Peter Clark McFarlane, the bril- liant correspondent of Golfers, who with many other newspaper writers of note attended the dance.
 EOh, of course, if it is only a war with Mexico, I do not expect to take part, as it will be only a sec ond lieutenant's war, but if Japan inteferes, I'll get in the game"
 The colonePs air and tone left no doubt in the minds of his hearers, and they were numerous, that he expects trouble over the Mexican situation. Afterwards he said to J. F. Alkire, in the hearing of others;
 "Under the present conditions l would not intefere. It is a simple matter for the police to handle.
 Which leads one to believe the lighting colonel of the Rough Riders has about as much belief in the real | fighting powers of Mexico as Japan had for those of China after the peacock feather display of courage by the Flowery Kingdom in the late nineties. Alkire is the head oi the big printing house of that name in Phoenix, formerly M'NeiPs. Ht p is one of the big business men O
 the capital city, and while he di,
 not know he was talking for publi , cation, what he said is absolutely trustworthy.
 Colonel Roosevelt and his tw' sons arrived at Hualpai couple O - days ahead of the dance. Witl
 Governor Hunt, of Arizona, he DC d cupied special box and took
 deep interest in the weird antics O the dancers.
