A petition for Constitutional
amendment providing for q 5000,
600 bond issue to complete the State
highway system, Is being circulated
here this week, The amendment
will be voted on at the general elec.
ton, November Sd.
We are particularly interested in
the proposilion, as we want good
roads, and the amendment meets
our favor as We desire to see the
State highway system completed
with as little delay as possible.
The ella valley will be on the
Roosevelt Dam highway, which
starts at the New Mexico state line,
thspee to Duncan, Clifton, Solomon
vile, Stafford, Thatcher, Pima, Ft.
Thomas, Geronimo, Rice, qlQhe,
Roosevelt and Mesa. The compile
tIon of this highway puts our valley

the East through FL Paso, Texas,
and New Mexico. and means much
for our future prosperity.
We believe that the best and
quickest way TO complete the State
highway system is by bond isspe,
The money thus secured will allow
the work to go on without Interrupt
ton.
We call our readers attention to
the article in this issue by State
Engineer Cobb which gives the

A report by J. S. Diller, of the

United States produces little raw
asbestos, it Is the largest producer
of objects manufactured from
asbestos. Canada is the heaviest
producer of raw asbestos, and more
than half the worlds supply is
brought into the United States from
Canada and Manufactured into vari-
Gus commercial products.
In 1913 the United States produced

producers in Georgia, both furnish

A notable event of the year in the
asbestos industry in the United States
has been the opening of this new
locality in Arizona, about 30 miles
northeast of Globe, for the high.

the depths of the Grand Canyon. In

As a booster for Stafford and Gra-

Old Glory the most beautiful banner

man Of the executive committee and MIL
ton Aborn managing director. Although
the enterprise is headed by Americans,
the singers will be unrestricted by any
special nationality. Mr.. Aborn, who is
stopping at the Savoy, says he is ap-
preaching the London operate situation
with an open mind.
II have already an adequate number Of
singers" he says, but L am always on
the lookout for fresh talent For instance,
] am told there is a new tenor here who
IS a bricklayer by profession and a church
choir soloist by avocation. 1 have not
located him yet, but have sleuths on his
trail. If he is better vocalist than a
layer of bricks 1 win engage him for the
English season do not claim that ne IS
a second Caruso but in church circles his
voice is acclaimed the finest of the last
decade"
Arrangements are not yet complete, but
with the assistance OF Mr.. Kahn, who
holds a high position in the operate
world here, Mr.. Aborn is confident that
the deal will go through He expects 10
play eight weeks at Covent Garden start
ing on February 9, and presenting stand

New York Mr. Aborn is overrun with
applications for engagements. He has
heard fifty singers within the last three
days. but not one who is up TO the stand
ard required. He is confident that voices
in America are better than those in Eng
