MANY VOLUNTEERS
WORK ON ROADS
Carson Citizens Join i'm the
Work and Much Good
Was Accomplished

Last Thursday one hundred men
from this Valley, with teams, scrap
ers. picks and shovels turned out
and spent the day working on the
Carson road. About the same numb
er of men from Carson were also on
the job and much good work was
accomplished. The Carsonites did
not stop at their county line but in
yaded Douglas county and joined
with our workers
The entire army of workers assem-
bled at Cradelbaugh's at noon where
big feed was served by the ladies'
OF Gardneryille, Minden and Carson
Wm. Dangberg was In charge, and
with the ladies, saw to il that every
man on the job was provided with all
the good things To eat that he could
possibly store under his belt. At one
o'clock, the workersreturned to their
task in good spirits and by five o.
clock had completed their work
Rough places In the road were even
ed up, new bridges and cnlverts put
in and sand seraped from the road
The State officials were out In full
force and did their share OF the good
work. Lawyers, doctors and men of
other professions were numbered "a
nong the workers. Governor Oddie,
who issued the good roads proclama-
nation, proved that he was behind
the good roads movement body and
soul, and during the day, shoveled as
much dirt as any man in the gang
Aside from what was accomplish
ed the movement shows splendid
spirit. and IL is to be hoped that as
time goes by, that even greater re-
suits than was accomplished last
Thursday. may be brought about.
There is now agitation OF spend
ing a day repairing the Kingsbury
grade. and should this be done. the
the work will result in much good
for this section, and will be the
means OF inticing many of the tour
lists To this Valley. who visit Lake

GETS MORE THAN
 3OO RESPONSES
Four Meetings Held Yes terday and Great Re- sponse Obtained by Work of Evangelists Brown and Curry

As q result of the efforts of Rev.
 John F. Brown and Prof Curry, the
 eVangeIists who in connection with the
 pastors are conducting a union meeting
 in this city at tn.s tlIne, over three
 hundred people of Phoenix yesterday,
 accepted the propositions that were
 made to them by MT. Brown and siSni-
 fled their intention of treadinS the
 straight and marrow way hereafter.
 Four services were held during the day
 at which invitations calculated to have
 a bearing upon the decisions of the au-
 diencc were given, the first of these
 being at the Sunday School of the First
 Methodist church. At this meeting
 one hundred and twenty of the mem
 bers of the Sunday school made the
 decision.
 This service was followed by a
 preaching service at the First Baptist
 Church where 9 large number rcspon-
 ded to the invitation of the evangelist.
 At the afternoon meeting for men only,
 which was attended by fully fifteen
 hundred, one hundred and thirty two responded to the invitation while at the night meeting sixty more were added
 to the already great total. The after noon meeting especially was interesting to those who attended A great male chorus was organized for the musical portion of the service and did yoemen service during the afternoon. The text taken by MT Brown was, Be not deceived God is not mocked, 1 for whatsoever man soWeth that shall he also reap" and using this as basis
 he proceeded Co hand the double stan dard of living the social sins of the race. gambling, drinking. swearing, and the like. most powerful speech was delivered that had great effect. The subject of the night discourse was Thou are weighed in the balance and found wanting" and the theme, Judgment.
 Sabbath dissertation was denounced, especially the practice of using it as a holiday. The evangelist denounced this as the worst desecration that can pos sibly be.
 Profanity came in for number of hot shots at night as well as the after noon. Profanity is coWardly, it is a violation of law and of common decen- sy."

BILLIARD AND SMILE
 BACK FROM CAPITAL
Attorney General Returns Home
 After Months Absence.

With the smile on his face that has made him known all over the west. Attorney General George Purdy BullaTd alighted from the train yes terday in Phoenix from Washington, after an absence of more than d month. in which time he has been actually from coast to coast. Bullard was the referee of the great Wander Monica in February. leaving almost immediately afterwards for Washing ton to appear before the United States supreme court in the tax suit against the Copper Queen Company. for back taxes of several years standing.
 The story is told in connection with the arugment in the case that the Arizona Attorney General caused an other precedent to be broken in the august court, when he told his story in such q way as to make the court burst out laughing. Anyway the Attorney received the congratulations of many prominent members of the bar and of the court for the argu- ment in the case. Elias S Clark oi Prescott, who was Attorney Gen eral when the case was originally br1uoht, also presented the case for the state before the court.

THEIR FIRE ON BRITISH

London. Eng, Nov. 5.-Telesraphing
from Calais, France, under date Of
sunday. the correspondent of the Daily
Nail says
The British army has endured an
historic ordeal in checking the Ger
man attempts to advance on Calais
The German offensive has crumbled,
but the empire should know that the
victory at Tpres has been purchased at
price as high as any previous re-
corded in British battle history
The cream OF our army suffered
and the gaps must be quickly filled
IL the German repulse is to be turned
u good account Every time we ad-
vance the Germans seem to slacken
their fire on our allies and concentrate
their entire attention on the British
troops.
