STATE BOND ISSUE.

State Engineer Lamar Cobb is out as an advocate of five million dollar bond issue by the sate this money be used for building the desired state high ways. This paper is not opposed to the issuance of bonds for the building of good roads and recognizes that good roads will be good investment. but be- lieve that the counties should build and control of all road money and expenditure the separ taxpayers of Cochise county will become liable for oneourth of bond issued in the do not believe they should any such liabil ity and take any chance the manner of expenditure The state highway work being done in Cochise county is being paid for with Cochse county money and we believe that under the law which provides for the office county surveyor adequate salary this county will to produce equally as good results if better than has produced by the road budrs The proposition to amend the state constitu- ton that bond issue may be secured any time in the future when necessity requires mind Is all right. but should always say that it would be mighty poor business to vote provide a five million dollar road fund for building state roads without cifc purpose being specified together with estimate of the cost of the specified roads desired
 There should be bond issues in the future except for the purpose of meeting passing sity either the counties and when the peo pie asked for bonds they should be advised exactly for what purpose the money is required that they may be able judge for themselves to the measure fthe necessity.
 Let the counties assume the duty of building their roads and provide the money. Cochise county much better afford to complete the present high. way the Pima county line. than it to consent to five million dollar bond issue. thus laying them
 
 to say nothing of the interest charges
 Five million dollars would hardly scratch the route of the various road schemes that have been suggested in Arizona by the road boosters during the past two years and be forgotten that for every dol lar expended originally the building of roads there must be another dollar provided for the interest and perhaps still another dollar for the upeep of the roads during the lifetime of the bonds.Dougas International

CIVIC NEED IN WARREN DISTRICT

Recent comments in these columns called attention to the desrabilty of nonpartisan and unified action dealing with the civic affairs of the Warren District Emphasis was made the point that candidates for municipal offices had selected in the primaries the best interests of the community would be subserved if the citizens weighed the candidates in scale unadused to political affiliations. and voted for those best suited to administer to the needs of the District
 Report has 1t that movement is under way to form
 civic club The promoters of this enterprise would do well to consider carefully the project before pur suing it further The Warren already enjoys the presence of organization which in initiative and eX- ccutye capacity fuiflls immediate requirements. We refer to the Warren District Commercial Club It is equipped through the authority delegated to it by rep. resentative citizens of Warren Lowell and Bisbee to work with undivided interest the welfare of the entire District The records of accomplishment attest to the fact that has, and doubtless will continue to secure the bentfcia results expected of it. Probably no similar organization in Arizona is favoraby or widely known a wholesome booster for its own com munity first and then the State.
 The project 10 form a civic club is commendable in principle but there seems be urgent demand to put t into practice. Such club could not otherwise than conflict with the Commercial club in a field in which the is doing valiant service There IS no necessity for competition in field in which the aims arc identical The logical would be the engenderng of rivalry between the two organizations, and this would be followed by dscord and negative results.
 The interests of Bisbee and Lowell and Warren arc unfold and nseparabe Benefits aceruing to any pars of the Warren District are shared unselhshy by all parts of the District
 It is difficult to conceive a for new organi zation which would enter the domain already served admirably by the Commercial Club. There is a need however for even more general support for the Com mercia Club than it enjoys ct present The business man. the professional the property owner and the man who earns his living in any capacity in the Warren District is doing both himself and the com munity an injustice whholds material and moral support from the Commercial Club. Those was are sponsoring civic club would do well to devote their excellent energies the bigger and better maintenance of the Commercial Club Let them express toward 1t the zeal which they innocntly misdircting to the formation of another organization. When the Com mercia Club fails keep the covenants to which 1t is pledged: when it shall been found remiss in at tending to it's civic duties will he time to undertake the creation of a worthy

OUTLOOK FOR JEWISH FREEDOM
Seattle Post -Inteligencer)

The declaration of the czar of Russia that there will be complete emancipation of the Jews of Russia as result of the present war IS being taken at par elsewhere, al though the Russian Jews themselves distrust the promise of the government which in the past has treated them with harshness Is raCl Zangwll the writer who k ever hear tily enlisted in every movement for the bettermant of his race has issued an ap- peal to the Jews of the neutral countries to lend moral support to the Allies, largely on account of this pledge made by the czar. | In the most positive terms he states that he has received assurances from Sir Edward Grey that the British foreign office will neglect no opportunity of encouraging that measure of justice to the Jews Tn Russia. There is not the slightest question that the Jews have the full sympathy of both France and England in the matter of the complete removal of all restrictions upon the Jews in Russia.
 In the condition of affairs at present France and England hold privileged posi- tions toward Russia. Having supported the pledge of Russia to do away with the dis
 abilities upon the Jews, England would
 not be interfering with the domestic affairs of Russia by insistently pressing that the pledge be kept, should ther be any evi-
 dence of a desire or intention to with draw from it at the conclusion of the pres ent war.
 Already the ban against granting com missions in the army to Russian Jews has
 been withdrawn, and they are permitted to become officers The lines of prejudice are vieldinp and there is fair prospect that in the readjustment after the war is over the Russian Jews will have full equality before the law with other Russian subjects.

USUAL FALL STAMPEDE
 STARTS FROM FAIRBANKS

The Fairbanks newspapers issued during October, which arrived on Thursday last, are flied with accounts of the usual 1all stampede from that city-this time to the Tolovana district. The alleged strike is located on the head of the middle fork of the ToIovana river, with Olnes as the nearest point of departure. Early re ports gave the distance from Olnes as thirty five miles in an air line. Just what creek it lies On is still secret.
 A warning is being sounded by those familiar with the Tolovana trail and dis trlct that very little food is i'll the district, and those going in over the trail are taking little. In spite of this large number ot men have left for the scene, and number less powers of attorneys have been issued,
 Out of all the different stories that come from various sources, says the News Miner, 1t is still impossible to say more than that placer prospects have been found on the head of the middle fork of the Tolovana, location unpublished and richness of ground not stated. It is ali the way from seventy to ninety miles from Olnes over rough, traiiless country. Practically all the food available will have to be packed in n the backs of mushers.

CHECHACO'S EXPERIENCE
 RICH IN ADVENTURE

But few chechacoes have had as many experiences within twelve months as Jack Altman, who returned to town yesterday after year spent in the Chisana, says the Fairbanks Times. Since arriving in Alaska, but little more than a year ago, Altman has had almost every possible experience that could be found in the wilds, and after it all he looks healthier and stronger than ever
 Early in the summer of 1913 Altman came North to make his home with his mother Mrs Thomas A. Marquam Shortly after his arrival here he went on a hunting expedition with Mir Marquam up the Big Cinema, and then his experiences began For starter he killed a moose, a bear and @ mountain sheep, each of which is quite an experience for a chechako; but these were to become commonplace before his year was up.
 Within few days after returning from his hunting trip Altman heard of the strike Ill the Chlsana, and was never satisfied until he was permitted to join the rush up the Tanana river.
 Unlike many sourdoughs and chechakoes, Altman stuck to the Chisana all winter and all the past summer, determined that if anything worth while was found he would be in on it. Associating himself with sev- erald old-time prospectors who knew gold when they saw it, he started to sink holes, and probably no man in the Chlsana reached bedrock oftener than he.
 Finally, however, he was compelled to re turn home on account of shortage of sup plies, and although he brought back none of the riches which he hoped for when he left on the stampede, he returned wealthy in experience, and veritable moose in strength. He's not sorry for having spent the year in the Chisana, and is ready to start on another stampede tomorrow, If ii looks like the real article.
 Returning with Altman was Frank Miller who had saloon in the Chisana for the past year. The men report shortage ot grub with the exception of meat, and state that there will be but few men left in the Chisana this winter
