CHAMBER ISSUES
AN APPEAL TO
VOTERS
(From Thursdays Daily.)


y. Give this your close attention.
A petition signed by nearly 500
of the largest taxpayers of your
county, having been presented to
the Board OF Supervisors demand
ing the calling of an election to
ascertain if the qualified electors of
Yavapai will vote bonds for the
construction of a new court house
at Prescott, to cost $2500O0 or such
part of that sum as may be deem
ed necessary;
The Board of Supervisors has
called an election for Tuesday, July
Fl, 1914.
1t will cost you less than the price
of Five-Cent (sc) cigar per $lOO
of your assessed valuation to re-
move all danger of loss of your
county records.
Your court house. built in the
70's is notorious for its dangerous,
unsanitary and ruinous condition.
1t is pronounced by all fire un-
derwriters who have examined it,
veritable fire trap.
The wiring is unsafe, the timber
ing out of plumb and the tower
vibrates crafty with every wind
that blows.
Human life is menaced every time
public meeting is held in the
courtroom and odors from cooking
for the prisoners, in the basement
pervade all parts OF the building
at all hours.
A fair-sized boy can jimmy one
of the frail, old wooden doors lead
ing into the court house and the
Recorders office any night and ex-
tract records whose value is inesti-
mable There is not a vault IN the
building but what is cracked and
worthless in SO far as protection
from fire and burglars is concerned.
Five-cents (5c) a year on every
S10O of your assessed valuation will
provide your officials with slightly,
safe and sanitary headquarters.
The new court house will impress
the investor in mines, cattle and
land with the stability and progress
siveness OF the citizenship of Yav-
apai county. Unsafe wiring. old
dry timbers and inadequate vault
space render fire not only possible
but probable
You will regret your inaction if
the records in the ''ire-trap" known
as the County Recorders office
should be los.. The cost of replac-
ing these would be ruinous to you.
A large number of these records
could never be replaced
Yavapai is third in riches among
the fourteen Arizona counties. Our
valuation OF S40OO0,00O in round
numbers will be increased to $44,-
100000 when the assessment roll OF
1914 is made up.
The present ramshackle invites the
criticism of all visitors to this beau
tiful city. They judge your pros
perity by the building in (which you
handle this vast wealth. They assail
you for your carelessness in not
protecting records. the cost OF which
to replace would quadruple the
S250,000 or less now necessary tc
be expended.
Can you afford to delay this need
ed improvement longer?
Can you not easily pay sum mo-
to exceed Fifty cents (5oc) on the
$1,000 valuation?- This is just wha
your average payments per annun
will equal while the bonds run.

LOCAL YOUTH IS
APPOINTED TO
WEST POINT
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

ATTAINING lHe 0l9NeSI grade OF
all candidates in the competitive
examination, Malcolm Gray Lowry
a student of the local high school,
has been appointed by Senator Hen
~ F. Ashurst, principal cadet at
the United States Military Academy
at West Point. The successful ap-
plicant received the welcome news
yesterday and he is today making
preparations for his departure to
the east.
Signal is conceded the attainment
in view OF the fact that Lowry
follows his elder brother to the mil
itary academy by just two years
and that his appointment is the re-
suit of meritorious work ratehr than
favor bestowed by officials. Candi-
dates in divers parts of the State
participated in the exam"
Malcolm has always followed in
the footsteps OF his father with
regards to love for military affairs
and circles. Likewise, his elder
brother James who was appointed
principal cadet two years ago by
Senator Mark Smith, took a years s
preparatory work in Highland Falls,
New York and served his first year
at the academy during the term of
l9l3-14 At the age of fifteen, Nal
colin joined the National Guard OF
Arizona and since then he has been
connected in conspicuous way
with the organization. Recently, he
essayed to reorganize Company c
OF Prescott and today he is the
lieutenant commander of the local
militia platoon.
Naturally. his ambition turned to-
ward the appointment to West
Point The mere fact that his broth
er had been appointed but two
years before held forth very little
hope for success greeting his appli-
cation But circumstances alter
cases and the inevitable happened in
Malcolm's case. Senator Ashurst
found himself confronted with an
overwhelming list of applicants. De
termined to show no favor, he de-
cided upon the competitive exanJi-
nation system. Accordingly the 10
cal applicant took the examination
last May.
About the time OF the exarhina-
ton. the war scare with Mexico
arose and LowrA was a busyi indi-
vidual gathering up his local Platoon
and preparing for call TO the
border Despite ain this turmoil,
he took the examinati6p, one of the
"stiffest" on record aud I attained
a splendid mark as is\ evidenced
by the communication from, Senator
Ashurst.
Lowry was offered BY Congress-
man Hayden an appointment to the
Naval Academy earlier in the year
but he declined, his inclination:
turning towards the West Point
institution.

The Docs Mistake.

George West Salisbury, at a Sulzer
rally in Cohoes, likened Governor Sui
yer to the cat of the essay.
"A schoolboy,," said Professor Sal
isbury, wrote an essay on the dog and
cat, and in this essay I'd call Sulzer
the feline, and Murphy the canine"
He then read the essay, which ran:
IF there's no trees just near the
dog gets the cat in the corner Of a
door or two brick walls. Then the
cat makes her body twice as big as
what is flesh and bone by standing her
hairs up strate, and she spits and
sneezes all over the dog, so he can't
see what he's doing of. Then while
he's clearin' his eyes a bit she scratch
es him in the nose, which you know,
of all parts of the dogs flesh, its nose
has got the littlest skin over it. You
might say there is no skin, only bit

Those Tickling Plumes.

Those of us who have suffered-and
who has not?-from the tickling of
the plumes which women will insist
on wearing, stuck at ridiculous angles
in their hats, must needs feel much
sympathy with the irate individual
who caused a miniature Donnybrook
in an omnibus by endeavoring to pluck
one of these inconsiderate turtle
doves. Probably his assault was not
deliberate. When a foot of feather
whisks into ones face every half min
ute, it excites the same kind of reflex
action of the muscles as does a fly set
ting on ones nose. Mans costume
may be as ugly as you please; but it
seldom offends anything but the eve.
Women, in their personal adornment.
are strangely apt to be without the
smallest consideration for the comfort
or convenience of their neighbors.
Men have groaned under the tyranny
OF the cart wheel hat and fled in fer
ror from the murderous hatpin. Are
they about to rebel against the nose.

MISSION FOR THE ANTIQUARY
Discovery Made In cairn In Scotland
Has Been Something OF
Puzzle So Far.

An interesting discovery has been
made in the wild and mountainous
pass of Drumochter, Scotland, some
three miles to the south OF DalWhln-
ME, where Glasgow contractors are
carrying on operations for the I'M
provement of roads. The stones in
large cairn close by the Great North
Road, between Perth and Inverness,
were being utilized for road metalling
purposes, and while engaged in remov-
ing these stones the workmen came
upon a well-preserved human skele-
ton. The skeleton was found close to
the outer edge of the cairn, which is
some fifty feet in circumference, and
of considerable height. Further oper-
atoms revealed a stone cist or coffin
in the center of the cairn. There was
apparently no connection between the
skeleton and the cist. In view OF its
exposed position and excellent state
OF preservation the interment OF the
skeleton must have taken place in
comparatively recent times. Its only
covering consisted of about foot or
loose stones. The cist was formed of
a large rough slab supported by rows
of upright stones, suggestive OF Pic
fish origin. How 1t came to be in the
center of the cairn is not easily ex-
planned. The cairn itself is said to
have been placed there to commemor-
ate halt made by the Highland army
in 1746. The Pass of Drumochter is
notable in Jacobite annals by reason
of the fact that Sir John Cope held a
council of war in the neighborhood In
August, 1745. Lord George Murray
successfully made series of attacks
on posts held by the royalist army in
the neighborhood of Drumochter, so
that the cairn may have been erected
to commemorate some such event.

DUE TO DEFECTIVE FLUES
Enormous Financial Loss by Fire lie
Credited to carelessness In
This Respect.

The campaign against the enormous
preventable fire waste of the country
has naturally led to a study of the
principal hazards and those which can
most easily be avoided. Hazards are
divided broadly into two classes-phy-
steal and moral-the physical hazards
being inherent in the risk itself and in
its surroundings, while the moral haz-
ard arises from personal factors.
Physical hazards may be subdivided
into external and Internal This ex-
ternal hazards include lightning, con-
fiagrations. sparks. bonfires and ex-
posture losses. To this cause are due
70 per cent. of all losses both as to
number and value. The internal haz-
ards are much more numerous and
may be subdivided into five classes.
These are: Spontaneous combustion,
the hazards due to the operation of
machinery, the hazards incident to
processes, those due to the various
systems and kinds of apparatus used
for heating and lighting, while the
nth division includes all those not al
tSeAuy CidSSiIeu.
The various processes of heating
which usually include the actual use
OF fire are responsible for more losses
than any other cause, and under this
class 1t should be noted that defective
hues are responsible for twice as
many fires as any other physical or
known moral hazards, and for a great
er property loss than any other cause.
Statistics show that 10 per cent. of
the total number of fires can be attrib-
uted to defective fiues, with a prop
erty loss of over $12,0O0,OOO annually
Eiectricity Is responsible for the larg-
or proportion of the losses due to IL
summation, although not for the larg-
est number of such losses-Insurance
