WORD COMES
 FROM ZURICH
Interesting Letter from MT. and Mrs. K. $. Townsend, Arizona Delegates to the Worlds Tri-ennial Sun day School Convention

Mir and Mrs. K. $. Townsend of the south side, who went as delegates ! to the Worlds Sunday School conven- l tion at Zurich, Switzerland. writing The Republican from Zurich, July II, say:
 We, the delegates to the Worlds ! Sunday School convention, from Ari- zona, are now attending that great convention after a pleasant trip across | the sea- We landed at Boulogne and ! after visiting Paris and Versailles | for three days we came on by train | to Zurich via Basic. We will remain here eight days, through the conven- | tion.
 Zurich is a beautiful, clean, sub stantial city of 100000 situated on
 Lake Zurich, and lying at the foot of the Alps. On clear days the snow capped peaks of the Alps may be
 seen. The main street of the city has a twelve-foot sidewalk on each side and here the market gardeners meet twice a week to sell their produce. | By noon it is all gone and the street | is cleaned up.
 The main auditorium of the Ton Halle, seating 5000, is used for the main gathering of the convention and | the first story is taken up with the different bureaus and the Sunday school exhibits from all over the ! world. That room is a study for weeks of itself with its large maps,
 notices, charts, scripture rolls, hun dreds of small flags with the statis tics above each.
 The British exhibit is extensive in literature and music. About fifty racks twelve feet in length and about trrI, exposure of the exhibit. Temperance literature and cartoons are very prom inept everywhere. Some of the mot toes are: Train up a child in the way
 he should go and go that way your self;' You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving; It is better to put ten men to work than to do the work of ten men; Every officer, teacher and scholar, a total abstainer and a worker against the liquor traffic.
 The delegates were given an in formal reception at the home of Mrs.
 Rieter- -Bodman of Belvoir Park,
 magnificent home in a beautiful park
 The paintings and the statuary are fine. The band played and the school
 children sang. Refreshments were served inside and outside. In the evening welcome service was neld TOT 2500 delegates by the mayor, the local committee and continental Europe
 The United States consul general, the British vice consul and the German
 consul general were introduced.
 Next morning, the convention be-
 gan it's work. Rev. F. B. Meyers
 scripture talks are so inspiring that
 they seem heavenly and prepare the
 workers for the day. Japan sent two
 delegates with an invitation for the
 next triennial convention. It was ac-
 cepted.
 We remain well, though it has
 been rainy weather ever since we ar
 rived. Today, when hundreds and
 hundreds marched to decorate the
 grave of Zwingli, the great Swiss re-
 former, it poured down. It is very
 cold. We wish we could divide with
 you Arizonians a little"

cellent copper ore. The vein is three feet wide of solid ore of the usual character found in this district. The owners are going to stoping and will soon be able to make a shipment as it does not require a large amount of this ore to make a ton.
 There are several other very prom ising prospects in this district which will afford good quality and quan- tity of ore when rightly handled And one advantage of the district it is so near a railroad with a down-hill pull for the heavy loads

Calumet and Arizona

The Calumet and Arizona company has an option on a controlling inter- est in the stock of the Cornelia prop- erty at $2-50 a share. This option will expire in October, but no an nouncement has been made as yet whether the option will be taken up. Recently bids of $2.3O for Cornelia stock has given the impression that the option will be exercised.
 The above item was going the rounds of the eastern and coast papers last week. The transfer of this property was noticed in these columns couple of weeks ago. The consideration named in the deed was $1.

Another popular feature of the pres

either case it is a most convenient de-

Of late have caught the popular fancy.
Women like the coat-dress because it
is such convenient combination of
home and street dress, quite within the
conventions for either kind of wear. For
early fall it is a most desirable sub
stitute for the real coat-suit which
becomes a necessity little later on.
No device of the dressmaking art
I can drive the coat-suit out of the field.

ALPINE ASKS FOR
GOOD ROaD5 BONDS
Wants Election For $4,000
Issue So Roads May
Be Improved.

Alpine, Tex, Oct. At a meeting
of Nthe County Good Roads club. held
in Alpine, it was decided to circulate a
petition among the voters of Brewster
county asking the commissioners to or
der an election to determine whether or
not bonds amounting to $4,000 shall
be issued to be used in building and i'm
proving public roads. At present tax
of Is cents is levied and spent on the
roads The proposed bond issue can be
taken care of by using one-half this tax
for the interest and sinking fund. and
the other z IL cents can be used for
maintenance and further improvements.
1t IS proposed to have the roads laid
out and constructed by competent engi-
neers, so that they will not become i'm
passable at flood seasons. This new en-
thusiasm for good roads is traceable to
the recent logging and pathfinding trips
through Alpine in the interests of the
two transcOntinental highways.
Tax Rolls Finished
Tax assessor. J. W. Phelps has COM
pleted his rolls for 1913. giving the total
valuation of property in Brewster county
at $8,44O,O00. This sum includes 3,249,-

or an average of S1.06 an acre; 5457
horses and mules at S13S.865; 53,513
