F. s. Davis Lectures While Harry Ransome Turns the Crank of
 Littiest Cinematograph

More movies in miniature at The Republican office.
 Thursday night, Manager O'Grady of the Lion theater, and Harry Ran some, also of the Lion, brought to The Republican office F. F. Davis little Edison moving picture machine, and thereupon ensucl an hour of intimate movies, just for the owl shift crew.
 Davis, be it explained, is the trav- cling representative of the Holt Manufacturng company of California, makers of those giant tractors, known II om their peculiar drive mechanism as caterpillal-s The moving picture outfit is no more than an attractive advertisement for the company As he cannot pack a lot of tractors in $@-, 35- and 40-horsepoWer models around with him.

 In addition to the two advertising reels. Davis has some comedies and D cracking Edison drama.

 little more than others. because it is
 impossible for every ranch to be upon
 the main highways. but the general
 benefit to the entire county will be
 so great and far reaching that every
 ranch owner should be thankful 10 be anywhere in the neighborhOOd of any
 of the main roads. not only on ac-
 count of the better facilities for tra-
 vel but because of the increased val
 ues of his holdings. Not only should
 every rancher and land owner vote
 for the bond issue, but every business man in the valley should work and
 vote for it because of the new people

 from the increased population. The
 good roads of southern California have made that section famous and have attracted thousands of people to the country. Tourists and people
 of wealth go there because they can ride for miles in any direction, visit
 ing different points of interest with ease, comfort and dispatch Arizona has scores of points of attraction
 which would draw annually thousands of tourists if we had good roads which would make these outside points accessible.
 Castle Hot Springs. Agua Caiente. Tnglesidc. The San Marcos Hotel at Chandler. Fish Creek. the Roosevelt Dam. the san Xavier Mission, Casa Grande ruins and numerous other points of interest would draw thous- iands of people to this section annually if we had good roads so that tourists l spend from a week to several months every winter around here and enjoy our wonderful winter climate. Once we have a system of good roads and l pet DeoDle of wealth coming here. they will soon see the advantages and oDuortunities of this region and grad nalIz- make investments and interest l friends until the Salt River Valley will rival southern California for wealth and development Any mum 1 Der of wealthy people would spend their winters here now if it were not for the lack of something to do while ! here to enjoy themselves. All of them make the same comment: w e want to get out somewhere and run around and see something and go 1 somewhere We did not come here to sit around hotel We have hotels where we came from, some of the finest in the world. We want to get out doors and see something new and soak up a little of your sunshine and climate That is what We haven't got back there where We came from" Arizona has plenty ot points of interest for the tourist some of them world famous already l and all that is lacking is system of good roads to make all of these points easy of access so that wealthy tourists can come here, bring their automobiles and enjoy themselves go- 1 ing from point to point. Once they get to doing this a certain number of them will become charmed with the country and make investments here and sooner or later make thls 1 their home at least during part o1

President Wilde Speaks of the Victory for the Peo- pie ill the Late National Conservation Congress - Gives Views on Matter

In an interview in the Arizona Star President A H. Wilde of tie Univer- sity of Arizona who had just re turned from the National Conserva- ton Congress at Washington said:
 The Conservation Congress was a great gathering of men and women. and about as many women as men. The congress marked the advance in the public's estimate of it's own re- sources and of it's determination to put these to the best use for the present and future generations As Mir. Lane. secretary of the interior. said. This land is the land of oppor- tunity for every boy and girl today; 1t must be So for the next and all generations
 The congress did not hear Presf- dent Wilson nor Secretary Bryan. They were too busy; but il did hear MT, Lane and Mir. Houston. the two secretaries in closest touch with the problems discussed by the congress- Fortunately. former secretaries also Were present and gave addresses. F.X- Secretary Wilson talked about the conservation of the soil: Samson Garfield and Fisher on national pro jects in the states. Clifford Pinchot cX-fOrester, was the central figure in the convention, and all these men eXemplified the high ability that is going into the hardships of depart ments at Washington, whether un- der democratic or republican admin istration. They were men of vision. vet masters Of detail Fisher was the presiding officer, worth going far to see at the stormy session of Thursday, when the point at issue was national or state control of con servation projects. Some of the states rights men claimed it was packed for federal control
 "On the contrary, the presence in good numbers of water power men and land attorneys indicated another kind of packing.
 The continuation of the congress was the vote on Thursday afternoon on the question whether to refer the

SAFETY FIRST IDEA
 MEETS WITH APPROVAL
Railroad Employees Enthusiastically Respond to the Request for a
 Greater Degree of Care.

student of railway economies says the greatest problem the rail- road has to solve in its efforts to conserve human life k to find ways to protect those WEo will not pro tcct themselves.
 one serious feature of this problem was the carelessness of railway em- ployes, but conditions are vastly better than they we're few years ago.
 In order to make their employees more careful. the larger companies have inaugurated system of sur prise tests :" These are conducted among all classes of employees.
 Such tests are given at unexpected times and under unusual conditions. so that they reveal to just what eX- tent rules are broken and risks taken,
 A record of tests made last year hE the Pennsylvania lines is an eN- CeIIent indication of the hearty sup Tort that employees are giving this great safety first" movement.
 And the purpose of such tests is to insure the safety both of em- r,oyes and the pubic at large. Rail road officials realize that if the two classes are to be properly protected. every employe who has anything to Go Witl shop practice. with mainte- nance of Way. or with the operation of trains must refrain from taking chances" of any kind
 Employees. the PennsvlVania finds are gladly co-operating to this end. Agreeable results have marked every state of the safety campaign to such aIl extent that the number of cases cf careIcssness or negligence reported is less than one per cent of the total number of tests made.

BETTER ROADS

Citizen Tells How Thor oughfares All Over the Country Could Be Quickly Put into Shape by a Lit tie Cooperation

Few people who have not given the matter careful study realize the far reaching benefits of good roads lo any community or section says D. w
 Hall Some, at first thought labor under the impression that good roads benefit only or mostly the cities and towns from which they radi7te. Moth ing could be farther from the real truth. Good roads certainly do bene- fit the cities and towns. drawing trade from outside points because the better the roads the easier il is to get to town and districts which. over poor roads, are remote from town, become easy of access when good roads are built. This fact, of itself works an enormous benefit to all the districts surrounding towns which have system of good roads running out into the rural districts. The value of farm lands and suburban residence districts depends in great measure on their accessibility to some town or trading center Take any piece of farm land out ten to fifteen miles from Phoenix and say that distance from some one of the smaller towns of the valley. over the present ordin- ary and generally poor roads il takes the farmer from one to two hours to get to town. With q system of good roads the farmer can reach town in half the time or less and he not only saves that much time for him self and teams every time he comes to town on business or pleasure and when hauling agricultural products, but every acre of land he has in creases proportionatcIy. Land now out ten miles from town will. when good roads are built. be as close to town from business standpoint. as land now half that distance over poor roads. and the increase in values will always be in proportion to the accessibility of the land. A system of good roads has the same effect on a community or district as rail roads do upon q state or larger area of country. by making communication and transportation of products easier

LOSE APPETITE FOR OYSTERS.
POpulace Turn Against
SuccuIent BivaIye.

The gentle oyster. so timid some time
ago about venturinG into the Washing
ton market. seems to have overcome its
shNness and is advancing in hordes. And
just when this is happening the Wash
nEton appetite for the succuIent bivaIve
has taken a decided and inexplica Bile
slump. Not so long ago oysters were
bringing 30 cents bushel in the shell,
and about 20 per cent more when shelled;
% cents bushel is all that can be gotten
now for the unshelled ones, with a cor
responding reduction in the case Of the
shelled sort
The captains of oyster craft don't I'M
derstand the situation. They don't be-
lieve 1t can last for long. and are willing
to gamble on the variable Washington
appetite turning oysterward again.
