FENCING THE ROADS.

In the Review today a Homestead CTS Wife" disagrees with this paper on it's position regarding fencing the public roads. The Reviews remarks were intended to go only to the un- lawful fencing of public roads and was not assumed in the special inter est of automobile owners. The indis- criminate fencing of roads in this county has become a nuisance and is more harmful to a homesteader seek ing market with his products than 10 the automobile owner. The attempt to intimate that the automobile own CTS do not contribute to the building and maintaining roads fin the county is not justified. as owners of these horseless wagons no doubt contribute many times more money into the pub lie treasury than any other class of citizens who go on foot or by other means of conveyance. The Review coatinues to insist that law should be passed. if there is none now

ing the work of deadly flies for many years. I know two families living in the little town of B. B. These fam flies were neignbors-on lady brought out family of three and they are robust youngsters. Mother kept them out of the reach of flies. She went hunting for flies--covered her young sters regularly in the Summer time The other mother did not believe a little fly could hurt her young she paid no attention to the fly One by one she laid away her babies until now they are three silent empty places in her heart, and gloom is in the hodsehold.
 "If you cant keep flies out of the
 house cover the baby with netting. or if you can't afford net, get a piece or cheese-cloth-anythlng that will give baby air. See that the baby gets air. and keep it away from the fly.
 If you can get a little carbolic acid mix. with one part of car6olic acid and three parts of water. Get whisk broom and spray with the Lroom on the floor of the room where baby sleeps in the day. We will need good men and women for our future-don't let the fly carry one single enc away The danger is in front of you-ti's as real as a big elephant
 When baby cries, try to find out the reason. It may need a spoon of water-it may be a bandage that's too tight-it may be it has laid ill one position too long, Coo to baby, but use your mother judgment. Of course, it's hot and you have so many prob lens. but you can fight them. Baby has problems too, only baby's prob lens are solved by you. Try to over come your irritation before you Iick up baby. It's part of yoU-if you ara cross. baby is more than likely to be cross. It's hard this life-but it is easier if you are of Good Cheer"

coPpER's STRONG POSITION.

The report of the Copper Producers Association for June shows a further decrease of s1lOoo COG pounds in the visible supply Of the red metal during that month. This follows a decrease Of 5000 GOO pounds for May and 2O,e00., coo for April, and brought stocks on hand on the first Of this month down to 5@,0c0,0oO. or well under a half months production. From these fg- ures it is apparent that. from a market viewpoint, copper is in a strong position, as any marked im- provement in the industrial situation would bring an urgent demand which could hardly fail to be attended by an advance in price.
 Production for the first five months of the year averaged 1Ss.O0O,OOO pounds monthly. while for June it was but 1z2.OOG, GOO pounds, being the smallest of any month since February of last year
 Domestic deliveries for June fell of i3.GOO. GOO pounds this indicating a sluggish home demand. The exports were about the same as for May showing that the foreign requirements EheId up better than the domestic. Du the whole the report is favorable for the producers of copper, and it is sur prising that the prospect t holds out for the red metal market in the near future is not productive of an i'm proyement in the investment demand for copper stocks-especiaIly for thos, of properties that are able to earl substantial profits at the present sell ing price.

It is a fact now that there are few roads in the county as bad as the one through the Warren district.

and we do not believe the taxpay era Of the county will object to a road tax levy sufficient to put the roads in good condition. We should say that notwithstanding the increased assess, ment in Cochise county this year the tax rate for maintaining and building county roads should not be lowered from that of last year.

The Review carries an article today which will be of much interest to every tax payer in the state. It is the statement of the estimated cost of carrying on the state government for one year ending July 1. 1914. It shows an increase over the past year oi szs0. The amount which tax payers will have to pay for the year is more than two million dollars.

cocHlsE ECONOMY
 ATTRACTS ATTENTION.

ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
 The followinfi editorial. highly complimentary of county government in this county. is taken from the col. umns of the Arizona Republican:
 Secretary J. N Gaines of the Co., ehise Taxpayers association has just issued a statement showing that saving has been effected in that coun- ty by a better and more efficient ad- ministration, of s27,O09 in the past six months. Comparison is made with the corresponding six months Of 1912. The legitimate needs of the county during the last six months were prob ably naturally greater because of the growth in population, than they were in, the corresponding six months Of 1912. yet they were met by an eX- penditure of S27.O00 less. There has been no diminishing of the govern ments efficiency Though it is not set forth in the statement. it is fact, as We have gathered from earlier statements that in the six months of 1912 a beginning Of reform of county administration methods had laready effected saving in comparison with a corresponding former period, though the comparison was not quite so clear because of the change from a terri torial to statehood government.
 Mir. Gaines says that the present methods of administration reflect credit upon ail the county officers. but we believe credit is due them more for therr ready cooperation with the taxpayers association, which is at the bottom of the reform. But for that association, which was organ izcd three years ago, the old slip shod. careless methods would prob ably stiIi be in vogue.
 At first the tender of the good offices Of the taxpayers association were not received. The association was looked upon as a busy-body, an interIoper. a captious critic of officera elected by the people. who were eE rected to be only as faithful and eff cient as their predecessors in oficE had been. Surely that was enough.
 Later the county officials realize, that the association really meant t be helpful. and shortly it proved its atHity to be helpful so that it ha' come to be regarded as a recognized and most useful part Of the count! government.
 Our newer Maricopa County Non Partisan Taxpayers League has beeI received in kindlier spirit by th' county officials than was manifeste' toward the Cocbise county assaeia ton. the pioneer advocate of nor  economical and efficient government the original cries in the wildernes against carelessness and inattentio to the best interests of the taxpayers
 For lack of time our own associi ton has not such concrete results | exhiblt as are shown .n secretar Gaines statement. but the foundsiio of the work is being carefully and 1T teIIigentiy laid.

BattIeships Indiana and Massachusetts as Targets

sets and Indiana were built at
Cramps shipyard and were launched
in 1898. Their main armament con-
sists Of four 13-inch guns and eight g.
inch guns and their speed was about
16 knots an hour. Each vessel cost
$3,063, 333.
Modern ~battleships have a speed Of
II knots, a displacement Of q, 500
tons, and their armament consists of
ten 14-inch guns, each 80 feet long;
twenty 5-inch guns and other smaller
weapons. The new vessels can place
a shot accurately far beyond the guns
of the batteries of the Indiana and
Massachusetts.
"The best use the government could
make Of the Massachusetts, and the In
diana is to take them out to Chesa-
peake bay and use them as targets for
our modern long-distance guns" de-
clares Capt. Grant Of the Philadelphia
navy yard, where the two old vessels
are quartered. They are slow in
speed, and way behind the standards
of modern war vessels in every re-
spect. The Missouri and Alabama
will soon be as obsolete as the Massa-
chusetts and Indiana and will very
o % be consigned to the target serv-
ice or the junk heap"

BROUGHT WEALTH TO PERU
Guano Beds, Consisting Of Most Won
derfuI of Known Fertilizers, Sold
for Immense Sum.

It is said that Humboldt added the
greatest wealth to the reports of his
discoveries when he called the serious
attention of Europe to the guano beds
of Peru.
Near midway Of the equator and the
tropic of capricorn on the Peruvian
coast are the Chincha islands, whose
guano deposits have been worth more
in money than the copper, gold and sill
yer of the worlds best mines. For this
great fertilizer $1,000, 900, 900 had been
paid up to the time that exports were
prohibited by Peru itself.
The islands are small, high and
rocky, barren and uninviting to the
last degree; yet it is said there is no
other spot of equal size on the earth's
surface from which so much wealth
has been taken.
In some cases the deposits reached
a depth of 100 to/180 feet and are
calculated to be thousands of years
old.
Nowhere else in the world are ma
rine birds found in SO great quantities
as along this coast. Their presence in
such immense numbers is due to the
quantities of fish found there, upon
which the birds feed. Cormorants,
pelicans, seagulls and marine crows,
in clouds, numbering hundreds of
thousands, may be seen flying low to
or from the islands.
But the birds alone could not have
produced the Peruvian guano. 1t was
necessary to have the rainless climate
of these islands in order to accomplish
the result.
Rain so seldom falls that aged men
can count on the fingers of one hand"
says n commentator, the times in
their lives when they have seen this
marvellous thing-water falling from
the Skies"
II Is on this account that Peruvian
guano in it's natural state, never hav-
ing been exposed to rain or dampness,
has retained its nitrogen and Is of
such great value. Some guano con-
tains all three elements of plant life
nitrates. phosphates and potash-and
all of 1t contains two elements-phos-
pilates and fixed nitrogen. 1t sells as
high as 500 a ton.

WHERE FISH ABOUND
Colorado irrigation Lakes Full Of
Finny Tribe.
They Are Five in Number and the
Water lie Clear, Cold and Spar
kIlne-At Small Depth Tenn
perature Is Icy.

Kansas City.-North or Lamar,
Colo, just across the Kansas line on
the Santa Fe railway, is a series of
irrigation lakes that have been made
by building earthen dams across a
creek valley. These lakes are fed by
a canal forty miles long, leading from
the Arkansas river. The lakes are
there as a result of the suit owe the
waters of the Arkansas, which Kansas
lost to Colorado several years ago.
Up there on the Colorado plains,
two-thirds of a mile above sea level,
is more than one hundred miles Of
shore line. Smooth, soft green prairie
slopes down to the blue water. Curry
ing about into delightful little bays,
sweeping back in wide CULTS, jutting
up in bold headlands, the world of
flowers and grass meets and melts
into the world of waters. Under the
bright sunlight, seen through that
crystal air, shimmering and shining,
these lakes almost compel the belief
that they are a mirage.
Kit Carson, could he again ride
across these old familiar plains,
would be tempted into trying to ride
straight through what he would think
must be only an appearance Of water.
For he and his friends saw any
really wet lake here. On a hot, still
day they have seen myriads of lakes.
But no real water covered these
| square miles in their day.
These lakes literally swarm with
fish. At times they lie upon the sur
face so thickly that, as their fins move
the whole surface is agitatetd as if a
breeze was blowing over it. They are
so plentiful that when the water is
turned into the irrigation bitches the
fish that have spawned and multiplied
float down in schools and are carried
out upon the fields of alfalfa and other
crops, and the farmers gather them
up in wagon loads and salt down
enough in a week to last them through
a whole year,
There are FIVE of those lakes. They
were finished in 1898, and the fish
have been spawning and increasing in
numbers ever since.
The lakes are seven miles north of
Lamar, and to get there one must
drive owe the level prairie. The
largest of the lakes Is Nenoshee, sew
en- miles long.
A party of Kansas City men went
out there recently to fish, and n of
them wrote the accompanying account
of their experiences. The members of
the party vouch for the truth of this
story in its entirety.
1t was a lazy day, under a lazy sun,
that swung idly through a sky Of
