A VOTE FOR
THE
Moffat Tunnel
FEBRUARY nth
MEANS MORE BUSINESS
AND PROSPERITY FOR
DENVER,

The Moffat Tunnel is the KEY
to the settlement of lhe largest un-
developed empire in the West.
The assurance of the building of
the Moffat Tunnel will make it
possible for the Denver q Salt
Lake Railroad to finance the road
from its present terminus to Salt
Lake City.
This will put Denver on a main
Trancontinental Railroad line.
1t will open up to settlement
more than 5000 new farms, with
abundance of wafer for irrigation,
which our citizens are so badly in
need of at the present time.
II will increase the population
of our State over 100000 people in
the next few years, which will
mean work for the unemployed and
prosperity for the city of Denver.
The building of the Moffat Tun-
mel will bring TO Denver $780,
10000 to build the Tunnel and
SIS, ,O00,000CO to complete the
Denver q Salt Lake Railroad to
Salt Lake City. This will he new
capital to be distributed among
our working men, factories and
merchants.
1t will mean the employment of
from 1,500 to 1000 workmen
for three to four years in building
the Tunnel. The wages of these
men will be spent i'll Denver.
The citizens of Denver will own
the Moffat Tunnel the same as
they own the city hall, court house,
parks, streets or other city prop
erty, without it costing them one
dollar.
They will also have the right to
the use of the tracts of the Denver
& Salt Lake Railroad Company
for 30 miles east and Is miles west
of the Tunnel for other railroads
at rental of 3 per cent of the
cost of construction.
1t will increase the value of the
100000 acres of school lands 10
Gated in the territory more than
enough to build the Tunnel three
times, which will benefit the whole
State.

PRINA In DOUGLAS
Makes the Trip by Automo-
bile and Boosts the
Gila Valley

z. C. Prina, one of the prominent
citizens of Graham county, has been
in Douglas since Saturday on a busi-
ness visit, accompanied by his
daughter, Miss Eva. They arrived
here via Wilcox by automobile. Mr..
Prina. besides being a prominent
man and cattle owner in the Gita
valley, is also interested in several
business enterprises in Phoenix,
where he is well known. One fea.
ture of his business here was for the
purpose Of finding an opportunity
to buy some range cattle which he
says he could accommodate on his
ranges this fall. Today he stated
that cattle owners in this section
had nothing to offer at attractive
prices.
Speaking of conditions in the Giia
valley in Graham county, Mr.. Prina
said that most excellent crops had
been harvested this year, the grain
crop being especially good. There
has been abundant water for irri-
CATION, in fact there is a portion of
the valley land now, near the river,
where drainage must be resorted to
if it continues to be productive. As
irrigation has been extended farther
back from the river the seepage has
swamped as much as one thousand
acres to such an extent as to ruin
it, unless it can be successfully
drained.
Government experts have been in
the valley several times recently adj
vising the farmers as to the best
method of drainage and some work
has already been started.
Mr.. Prina was a resident of Co.
chise county at the time it was Gre
ated by the legislature in 1881, be-
ing at that time employed by the
Chiricahua Cattle Company. Later
he started in the cattle business for
himself on Bonita creek, north of
the Gila valley, and mas been more
or less in that business since. He
now has cattle on both Black and
White rivers in the White mountains;
he is also prominent in the owner
ship and management of the Bank
of Stafford. He expects to leave for
home tomorrow morning and will go
via Bowie, saying that this is by far
the best route to the GiIa valley -

UNFAIR CRITICISM

The Tucson Citizen, in its sweep
ing criticism of Weedin and Birdno,
register and receiver of the land
office, Is exceedingly unfair to both
men. 1t is a well developed trait in
human nature for men to take care
of themselves. and we presume these
gentlemen realized, as have many
others, that another land office was
only for the purpose of creating
more offices for friends and that the
public would not in any sense be
benefited. Dunbar's Weekly has
taken no part in this land office con-
test, as we realized that it was a
regular boxing match at the outset.
But we fail to see wherein the of
ficials of the land office have gone
outside their duty to prevent the
creation OF another office. Colonel
Weedin only submitted records to
those in authority when called upon
to do so, and we can say, as does
every fair-minded person who pat.
ronizes this officr, that it is one of
the best conducted in Arizona. Both
gentlemen in charge are capable and
courteous, a rare combination in an
Arizona public office. - Dunbar's

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

This is the day of red lemonade,
Of the bands that played
In the long parade
The day we celebrate;
When Washington crossed the Della
ware,
And caught the Hessians unaware,
And the sound of muskets filled
the air.
This is the day when the peanut stand
Prowls through the land,
And beats the band
That we mentioned before;
When the baseball teams on the cam
puS meet,
And one goes down in the gloom of
defeat,
While the other one calls for lemon
ade treat,
On the strength of the score.
This is the day when the ice cream
man
The vast crowds scan,
like you know he CAM
With an eagle eye;
And calls in loud stentorian tones,
That he'd like to have you spend two
bones,
And he'll load you down with ice cream
cones,
While you're passing by.
This is the day when the flags unfurl,
And the ribbon girl
Puts her hair in curl.
And sweetly smiles;
When the baby gets brand new gown,
And father dOns his suit of brown,
And the wagons rattle into town
For many miles.
This is the day when the anvils shoot,
And the whistle toot,
While the plebeians scoot
From the auto track;
Ard the choir sings of liberty,
Of glorious future yet to be,
While a lot of politicians see
If they can't come back.
This is the day when the speakers speak
For the "poor and weak"
And the jingoes shrek
For blood and gore;
When we follow the band around all
.. day,
And wonder if they'll ever play,
While we see our dollars fade away,
AS remarked before.
