Popular Place

The opening of the Columbia cafe
terra Saturday night in the center
room of the enw Enders block met
with popular response from the hum
cry. Mr.. and Mrs. Lowe have con-
Quoted similar places in Los Angeles
for the past ten years and their ex-
perience was shown in the service
given on the opening night. It is
their intention to conduct delicates-
sen for supplying the home tables as

kind has been of long standing and
no doubt the Columbia will be given
the support such enterprise warrants.

Borax Will
Prevent Typhoid Fly

AS result of experiments, the
specialists of the department of agri-
culture have discovered that a small
amount Of ordinary boraX sprinkled
daily on manure will effectively pre-
vent the breeding of the typhoid or
house fly. Similarly, the same sub
stance applied to garbage, refuse,
epen toilets, damp floors and crevices
in stables, cellars or markets will
prevent fly eggs from Matching. Bo-
rax will not kill the adult fly nor
prevent it from laying eggs, but its
thorough use will prevent any further
breeding.
The investigation, which included
experiments with many substances,
was undertaken to discover some
means of preventing the breeding OF
flies in hores manure without lessen
ing the value of this manure as
fertilizer for use by the farmer. 1t
was felt that if some means of pre-
venting the breeding of flies near
human habitation could be devised,
the diseases spread by these filthy
germ carriers could be greatly re-
duced While the swat the fly
campaign, traps and other devices for
reducing the number of typhoid-car-
rying flies are of value, they are OF
less Importance than the prevention
of the breeding. 1t was realized,
however, that no measure for pre-
venting the breeding of flies would
come into common use unless it was
such that the farmer could use 1t on
his manure pile without destroying
its usefulness for growing plants, and
without Introducing into the soil any
substance that would interfere with
his crops.
AS result OF experiments carried
on at the Arlington farm, in Virginia,
and New Orleans, La, the investigat-
ors found that 0 81 Of pound of
borax, or 0.75 of pound of calcined
colemanite( crude calcium borate)
would kill the magots and prevent
practically all of the flies ordinarily
breeding in eight bushels of horse
manure from developing. This was
proved by placing manure in cages
and comparing the results from piles
treated with borax and from untreat-
ed piles. The borax, 1t was found,
killed the fly eggs and maggots In
the manure and prevented their
growth into flies.

Drinking Fountains
Serve Many

Mayor Johnson and the city coun-
Gil can certainly feel proud of the
manner in which the drinking foun-
tains have proved to be of benefit to
the people. Something of an unor-
ganized effort has been made to de-
termine what percentage of persons
stop on passing each fountain for a
drink At the fountain at the Meth
odist church corner eight out of ten
drink. At the east side school seven
out of ten stop, and figures justify
like percentage at the other eight.
The city fathers foresaw the need of
the citizens and are being amply re-
paid for their efforts to serve the
public.

TO TAP WESTERN YAVA-
PAL WITH GOOD ROADS
From SUNDAYS Daily.l

At the present time a very eX-
tensive program in wagon road
building is being prosecuted by the
county to the west, and for the first
time known in very many years old
communities that have been neglect
ted are to receive consideration.
Superintendent Clark stated yes
terday the repairing of the road to
Simmons was being closed up and
after that point was reached the
slogan was on to Fort Rock and in
termediate settlements.
Walnut creek eighteen miles dis
tant from Simmons is to be tapped
with fine highway, and three miles
further to the forks of the road to
Camp Wood is also on the road
building may. From the latter place
the work will go on until Oaks and
Willows are reached thirteen miles
away, while Anvil Rock and Fort
Rock are to be placed on the main
line for the first time.
The above settlements comprise
many of the heavy taxpayers in the
county in land and cattle holdings
and when the country is unlocked
by good roads, commercial condi-
tons with this city will be immedi-
ately manifested in increased trade
and travel, a direct route being at
forded all for the first time, and re-
ducing the distance in and out over
twenty miles.

PHOENIX, May o.-With the
most progressive of the Progress
sives stampeding back toward the
Republican party, and the more
conservative members asserting
loudly that they intend to play by
themselves, the bull moose party OF
Arizona is in chaotic, disorganized
desperate condition.
Something more than a mild fir
tation is on between George U.
Young, leader of the radical pro-
gressives, the progressives who are
out to win, and Senator J. Lorenzo
Hubbell, who heads the Republican
party in Arizona.
The Progressive party, never too
large, is widely split between Young
and Dwight B. Heard. Young and
Heard both want to rule.
Heard asserts that any talk OF
amalgamation with the old line Re-
pubiicans is absurd" Young has
made no public statement along that
line but it is known that he does
not agree at all with Heard.
So George is picking up his doll
rags and going over to play with
Lorenzo in the standpat yard. Only
he expects to transform it and when

to run for something, governor or
senator, and he wants to win. He
believes that the bull moosers can
not defeat the Democrats without
the help of the Republicans.
Now Hubbell is out for senator
and an announcement that Young
is out for governor is expected at
any time.
Politics makes strange bedfellows,
ana it is not at all impossible that
the people of Arizona will this year
see J Lorenzo Hubbell, friend OF
Taft, and George U. Young, who
out-progresses Teddy himself
stumping the State together.
The split in the Progressive party
is so wide that only miracle can
heal it. That it should have come
over the question of amalgamation
with the standpatters, and that the
radicals should be the ones willing
to amalgamate, are little ironies oil

URGE COUNTY TO EN-
TER STATE TAX BODY
(From Saturdays Daily.)


Taxpayers in Yavapai county are
strongly urged to join as county
organization, the recently launched
State Taxpayers Association, orga-
nized for the purpose of auditing
the Offices and books of State and
county officials. The movement is
wide in its scope and a ready in
clination to cooperate has insured
success right from the start.
The State organization was
launched in Cochise county on Ap-
ril 9, with FIVE counties entered.
Since then 1--WE other counties have
joined the ranks while Yavapai is
one of the three counties which has
yet failed to heed the call.
So urgent, however, has been the
invitation from the southern coun-
ties that the indications are that
within the next day or two, three
trustees and vice-president to rep
resent this county in the State or
ganization will be named by Presi-
dent c. T. Joslin of the Chamber OF
Commerce. John H. Robinson and
w. L. Clark are prime factors for
the movement here.
By its rules, every taxpayer in
the organization pays three quarters
of one per cent of the amount OF
taxes he pays, towards the mainte-
nance of a Statewide organization.

During the past week splendid
Roadway was made in the land and
dam building departments of the
Arizona Land & Irrigation Co., in
blowing and construction. Over 1000
acres was the total excavated, to
date, while the dam had attained a
height of over two feet above the
surface of the normal flow of Gran
lite creek.
Beginning tomorrow greater head
way will be made at the latter
structure, all details being closed
up to facilitate rapid construction
hereafter. Before the summer rains
occur. ordinarily in July, water stor-
age will be ample for the develop
ing of the 7000-acre tract. At Camp
Carter a systematic line of field
work is going on. The two tract
ors are working day and night on
three eight-hour shifts. and with the
forty teams of the Aubrey Invest
ment Co., nearly one hundred acres
are being covered daily.
Captain Carter in charge of this
adjunct. inspected the soil yesterday
and is e,ated over the fine charact-

ticket.
About two weeks ago there was
conference of Progressives in
Phoenix. But it was a conference
of Heard progressives. Young was
conveniently absent in Ray and,
though he returned to Phoenix late
in the afternoon, he did not see fit
to attend the Progressive banquet
that evening.
Hubbell came down from Apache
county to see about a union be-
tween the Progressive and Repub-
lican parties. He suggested that a
new party. known as the Progress
sive-Republican," be formed. He de-
manded nothing but stated that he
would be a candidate for U. S. Sem
ator.
Heard waited barely long enough
to hear what Hubbell had to say.
He refused to consider amalgama-
ton. Perhaps the fact that Heard
wants to be senator himself had
something to do with his attitude.
Spurned by Heard. Hubbeil went
to Young. And there he met with
