There are two kinds of people in the

Road Economics

One of Arizona's greatest needs is good roads. Every man knows this and almost every other has different scheme idea how these good roads may be secured. paid for and maintained. Public sentiment on the road question has yet taken definite form in this state The defeat of the $5,O0O,OO0 road bond issue simply lndi cation of disapproval of the methods outlined, rather than objection good roads in them selves their As the state highway ques- ton will never be settled until it settled right, the following automatic principles may help to thoughts good roads along lines of elliciener and common sense. These principles formulated by J. E Pennybacker chief of road nomics, United States office of public roads, and served as the text for his address at the fourth American Road Congress held recently in Atlanta, Georgia He said:
 In that branch economic science which of the and of the road as q public utility there ten automatic principles:
 T. All who share in the benefits of road i'm rrovement should share proportionately in the burdens.
 "2 The degree of improvement should be pro- portionate the traffic importance of the road improved.
 5 The of payment the of mutation of the sinking fund public debt contracted for road improvement should approxi maely equal the deterioration of the improi ement
 A. Road building and maintenance comprise work requiring special qualifications the pant those who direct it.
 5 Responsibilities should be definite to persons
 G. Continuous employment is conducive to efficient service than intermittent temporary employment.
 T. The specialists who direct road work should be appointed instead of elected; and they should hold office during efficiency instead for fixed term
 "S No road is wholly permanent; at best it requires continuous upkeep for which financial and supervisory provisions be made
 "9 Cash is d much more satisfactory form of than is labor.
 10. All agencies at the disposal of the state, capable of works of public improvement. should be used. rather than in such commercial rroduction as would conflict with private prises'
 We add more statement. which should be regarded a fundamental principle: that construction should be kept absolutely of po ties. MT. Pennybacker evidently intends cover this in his seventh principle but this point should be given emphasis.

 Yesterday morning the checks began coming back Then began a hurried search for Davis. A visit to 36S North First avenue revealed the fact that man named Davis actually did live there but he wasn't the Davis who visited the stores on Saturday. At 37S North First avenue it was found that man answering the description of Davis had stopped there a few days in company with his wife, woman exceptionally handsome and wnsome. It was the same man who had visited the downtown stores and it was the same woman who had accompanied him upon several of his visits.
 At the Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust Company bank it was found that Davis and his wife had opened an ac i count for $1.00 He had afterwards raised the figures until it appeared that i ;he account amounted to Sl1S1 6o. i Among some papers and upon the GOV i CTS of several magazines left in the room occupied by the man and women

Prof. Miller Honored.

Hon. Thos. c. Miller, principal of Shep-
herd College, was in Fairmont, w. Va,
his old home, the first OF the week,
where he attended the dedication OF the
Thomas c. Miller school building, splen-
did new structure recently completed, and
which was named for him. Prof Miller
was for eighteen years at the head of
the school system of Fairmont, and it
was TO perpetuate his service in the cause
education that the new building, which
is one of the finest in the State, was called
by his name; and il is pleasing COIN
cidence that the school is erected on
plot OF ground that was once his home.
The school cost approximately 500,
and is equipped with every modern i'm
provement and facility for school work.
The public exercises were held Monday
night in the presence Of large audience.
Addresses were made by well-known
school officials, but the principal feature
was historical sketch delivered by Prof.
Miller, in which he reviewed the history
OF the community SO far as il relates to
education An event of particular interest
was the presentation to the school of a
fine oil painting of Prof. Miller, the work
of Miss Nola Mckinney. The occasion
was one OF greatest pleasure TO Prof.
Miller, who deeply appreciated the honor
of having one of the finest buildings in the
State named for him, and that in his home

Another Disastrous Farm Fire.

The splendid new bank barn on the
farm of Marshall Burns, near the village
of Rpon, this county, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire last Thursday; entailing
total loss OF $1,000 to $4,000. The fire
was started by spark from the engine
OF James W. Bane's threshing outfit, Mr..
Bane having just about finished thresh-
ing Mr.. Burns'S big wheat crop, which
amounted 10 4,400 bushels. With the
barn was destroyed the whole OF the
wheat and straw, quantity OF farm i'm
plements, a carload OF cotton-Seed meal,
20 bushels OF clover seed, some corn,
etc, and a new silo and the shedding ad-
Joining the barn. Fortunately, no live
stock was burned to death, and the
threshing outfit was not damaged. This
was one OF the largest and best barns IN
the county, having been erected only two
years ago TO replace barn that was de-
Stroyed by fire on the same site. The
new barn was built at cost OF between
$1,000 and S. 900. II was 100 by 40. feet
in size, with fine concrete walls and
other concrete work, and was fitted up
with modern conveniences and improve
ments, including an acetylene lighting
plant. The insurance, which was placed
with Washington, Alexander & Cooke,
OF Charles Town, was $1,000 on the barn,
$1,000 on produce and sufficient sum to
cover the implements and machinery that
were destroyed. While Mr.. Burns had
the property we'll insured, the loss over
and above the insurance will be consider
able.
Friday night the barn and barracks on
the farm OF Peter Snyder, in Loudoun
county, Va, east Of Harper's Ferry, were
destroyed by fire. He lost also most OF
his machinery and implements and farm
produce. The barn was insured with the
Loudoun Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, and Washington, Alexander &
Cooke, of Charles Town, had $3.50 on
the produce and 500 on the barracks.
The reflection from the fire was plainly
seen from Shepherdstown and other
points in Jefferson county.

Railroad Improvement Completed.

What is known as the Magnolia cutoff
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, be-
tween Orleans Road and Little Cacapon,
on the Brunswick Cumberland division,
has been practically completed, and last
Sunday the first train was run over the
new line. A passenger train, carrying
prominent officials OF the road, went first,
and this was followed by a train OF 100
coal cars drawn by Mikado engine.
The trip was made successfully, and was
satisfactory 10 the railroad people. This
cut of, which is twelve milesin length, cost
$4,000 mile, or Sc, 900, 900 in, all max
ing il one of the most expensive roads in
the country. 1t saves little less than six
miles in distance, eliminates number OF
curves and does away with the grade al
Hansrote thathas required helper engines.
II is double-tracked line, and in its con-
struction number OF new tunnels were
bored and bridges built. This improve
ment is a part of the plan inaugurated by
President Daniel Willard reducing grades
and making new tracks over the NOUN
tains at cost of 500, 1000, 900.

Mrs. Pickett to Lecture in shepherds.

town.
Mrs. General George E. Pickett, wild
ow of the famous Confederate commander
whose charge at Gettysburg made him
immortal, is to deliver a lecture in the
Shepherd College Auditorium on Satur-
day evening, December 18th, for the bene-
fit OF the Red Cross fund and the Belgian
sufferers. Practically all that is taken in
will be devoted to the good cause, as Mrs.
Pickett generously offers her services
without charge of any sort. As an add
ed attraction, there will be at the same
time recital by Signor Carmine Fabrizio,
a talented young violinist OF Boston, and
his accompanist, Mr.. George Wilson,
who come TO Shepherdstown with Mrs.
Pickett. There will be 200 reserved seats
at so cents and 300 at Is cents. This will
be an event of much importance in Shep-
herdstown, as Mrs. Pickett's lectures are
not often given in towns OF this size. As
the wife and widow OF the great general
she was we'll known, but her own charm
ing personality and ability as a lecturer
have made her one OF the most diStin-
guished women in our country. Her
generous and gracious agreement to come
here without charge should be appre-
ciated and every seat in the auditorium
should be sold. it is hoped that there
will be many persons present from the
surrounding community and neighboring
towns. Signor Fabrizio is delightful
performer on the violin, and he will add
greatly to the pleasure of the audience.
The coming OF Mrs. Pickett and her
friends is the result OF the thoughtfulnesS
and interest OF Mrs. M. H. Crawf1rd,
who is in charge OF the arrangements.
DR.. and Mrs. Crawford will entertain the
party while here, and are doing all they
can to make the affair notable success.
We hope that our people will be most
liberal in the purchase OF tickets for so
worthy a cause.
