Washington s Survey Marks.

The Fairfax stone stands as Il pcrma-
ncnt monument. In addition, there
are, throughout that section of the
country. various other records OF these
Washington surveys. For example q
large white oak which stands at the
corner Of a farm about one and one
half miles from Lost City, Hardy coun-
/ ty, w. Va, according 70 persistent
| story Of that section Of the country
was marked by Washington.
Survey blazes cut into trees, and
since grown over, have been cut away,
and count of the annual layers of
| growth over the old wounds shows them
to have been made at the time Wash
ington was surveying. One strange
thing about these blazes is that they
are several feet higher than those put
on trees by woodmen Of today. This
fact has given rise to sort of super
stition that Washington, known to have
been very tall, was actually a giant
Other authorities have said that Wash
linoton did much of his work on horse
back. and made his blazes with a long
handled AK from the saddle.
The town of Whitepost, Clarke coun

HERE ARE TWO THINGS
 YEARS MAKE BETTER

There are tive things one can buy in Phoenix that will not deteriOrato in value with age, The longer they are kept, the more valuable they will become. One of these things is PhOe- riA real estate and the other is a Navajo blanket purchased at Balke's Big CuriO store.
 It Is generally known that the proprietor of the store has a stand ing proposition to take back any blanket he sells at the price paid for it. or more, that is. if the blanket has lot been Unnaturally injured. The store will accept the ordinary wear of the blanket He has many times paid more for an old blanket that he sold several years previous than the price he received for it. Any pur chaser of d Navajo blanket at the Big Curio store. five years hence will be sure of getting more for it than the present selling price.
 If one buys a carpet or manu- factured rug it begins to deteriorate in value from the instant the money is paid. He cannot sell it the next day for as much as he paid for it and after he has had it a year or more he cannot sell 1t at any price. Invest your money in genuine Navajo blankets or Phoenix real estate.-CAd- vertisement)

ERUPTION ON ANKLE GREAT SUFFERING
Many Nights Did Not Sleep. Burned All the Time. Wore Bandage Night and Day. Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Now We'll.

Kingsville, Mo. -"My trouble began eighteen years ago Nearly half of the time there were running sores around my ankle; sometimes it would be two years at a time before they were healed. There were many nights did not sleep because of the great suffering. The sores were deep running ones and so sore that I could not bear for anything to touch them. They would burn all the time and sting like a lot of bees were confined around my ankle. I could not bear to scratch it, it was always so sensitive to the touch. l could not let my clothes touch it. The skin was very red. I made what I called cap out of white felt, plotting paper and soft white cloth to hold it in shape This l wore night and day
 tried many remedies for most of the eighteen years with no effect. Last summer when my ankle had been sore for over year and much worse than ever before sent for some Cuticura Soap and Ointment It would itch and burn, besides a great hurting that l think tongue could never explain The very first time I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment l gained relief; they relieved the pain right then. It was three months from the time I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the sores were entirely healed. I have not been troubled since" ISigned) Mrs Charles E. Brooke Oct. 22, 1912.

PROGRESS OF WORK
 ON SAN CARLOS BRIDGE
Delays Have Been Caused by Ere
 quent Floods

Governor Hunt and Assistant State Engineer Nichols returned yesterday morning from their customary monthly visit to the bridge which is being built across the San Carlos at Fairbank The visit was for the purpose primarily of looking into the delays that have been encountered in the building of the bridge. Early plans with no allowance for bad luck were to have the structure complet- ed by the fifteenth of this month. However it is but fifty per cent done practically all piers being set and some work completed above the water line. Delays were found to be due to the high waters that the river has been sending down for the past two months. At one time this water completely washed out one of the cpfferdams and on several occasions there has been more or less damage resultant from sudden floods. How ever the damage has not been so provoking as has been the fact that on the lower work everything had to be stopped and taken from the river every time there was high water. Thus there was lost a days labor on account of water. and a days la bor putting back the machinery for each days delay.
 However nearly all the remaining work will be above the water level and will progress rapidly in spite of the freshets. The pouring of the east span of the bridge will com mence today. and others will be poured as soon as this one sets.
 Governor Hunt and MT. Nichols both expressed it as their opinion that the bridge would be complete for the Fl Paso to Phoenix races.

He was considered partially crazy by all the guards, and it is thought that this had more to do with hisA4running away than had a desire for making the break. He was doing time for attempted assault with a deadly weapon.

CIRCUS CROWD
 BIGGEST EVER
Estimated Twenty Thous- and Saw Ringing Bros Show Yesterday; Joan of Arc Pageant Finest Ever Seen Here.

The many adjectived annual visita ] ticn has come and gone, and twenty l thousand Salt River Valley folk are wondering if it really happened. Just | like Ringlings in years past. and just 1 like Ringlings' in years yet to come the circus was here. it showed. and usual-hour trains, leaving only mem cries of bright flashing garments. smooth fast action and a few piles of straw, some beaten earth and the mark of the sawdust rings. Ringlings' showed a refinement this year that has not been apparent be- fore. The censor has been busy, and while there are not so many acts with the 1913 edition, all the turns are better The variety is limited this season, too, but the individual performances show a general inn provement
 But the kids didn't stop to find out about this general improvement. They just called it ALL good" and looked their eyes out. And it was a particularly good show for the young sters, too. When they got Wearied of the flying figures in the arenas, they could always turn to the clowns, who sWarmed. There never were such funny clowns before. Any person under twenty will probably say so without hesitation. All per sons over twenty, no matter how grave they may be. would surely make that statement and make it unreserVedly.
 It was a demonstration of circus science this year. It was a triumph of stage cooperation. Modern is an ether burning adjective that may be applied. The strong men no longer confined themselves to hefting big halls of iron, but took the entire weight of an automobile loaded with canvas men to show the material in their mighty muscles The clowns were ultra nowadays. They turkey trotted everything and did not forget to pay their respects to the slit skirt, the ex-ray and other members of the latest fashion family. It was as if the side show had Mrs. Pank- hurst and Harry Kendall ThaW on exhibit.
 The Joan of Arc pageant was quite the biggest yet staged in Arizona, over six hundred highly trained actors taking part in it.
 It was an awful big day. If there was anybody in other parts of Mari copa county while the circus was in progress, he was might busy or else figured on attending the other per foImance The lot was damned prac- tically the entire time the tents were up. and the streets nearby presented a busy sight. filled, as they were, with buggies and autos.
 The parade was one of those ra-e things, a circus procession right on time It produced lower Broadway traffic conditions for Skidmore to cope with. and livened up the streets all day long. The night show was even bigger than that of the after noon.

 Lnads in Police Station.

With enough liquor aboard to make him troublesome, Frank Taylor was locked up in the police station last ev- ening following disturbance. said to have been of his own creating in d Washington street pool hall, in which q knife in his hands brought about the climax which resulted in his arrest. If the case is not transferred to the county today and d charge of assault with deadly weapon preferred, TaN- Tor at least will have to answer be- fore Police Judge Thomas for having menaced certain of these engaged in playing pool at the time of the trouble.
 According to those who were in the pool hall at the time, Taylor started trouble when he interferred in a game between a local baseball pitcher and a friend Taylor is said to have en- gagged in the pastimc of rolling the balls about the table thereby breaking up the game. When the proprietor at tempted to put a stop to the disturb ance. Taylor turned his abuse to him and later drew knife and threatened to use it upon the baseball man.
 When Policeman Crow arrived Fay Tor attempted to hide his knife, slip open, up his sleeve. Crow drew the knife from it's hiding place and took Taylor to the police station Taylor while being searched declared that the police couldn't make q case against him because of certain influence he claimed to possess
