was devastated today, and tonight
by FIRE that caused an estimated loss
of $2O,O00OOO, destroyed a thousand
buildings including several manu-
featuring concerns and made 10000
of the $4,000 residents homeless.
The fire it is believed, was under
control at late hour.
Starting at 2 o'clock this after
noon as the result of an explosion
in the Kern Leather Company
plant, the flames spread in every
direction, defying all the efforts of
the fremen. Block after block was
dynamited, but the fire was checked
only to be driven by shifting winds
into new paths of destruction.
The burned buildings include the
plants of a score of manufacturing
companies among them the big
factory of the Naumkeag cotton
mills. twice as many business places,
St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church
recently erected at a cost of $780,

200 buildings, residences and tene-
ment houses. Four fires are still

LARGE OUTLAY OF ROAD
MONEY IN THE NORTH
(From Thursdays Dailv9

ALlOlll i llbl
State Division Engineer F. R.
Goodman, who has returned to
Prescott after an inspection of roads
built under his supervision in Nav
ajo, Apache and Coconino coun-
ties, and in locating bridge sites in
Navajo and Apache, states there
is one fact apparent-the north is
alive to the necessity of making
the Old Trails route attractive for
travellers, and is backing up its
purpose by disburs.ng plenty of
public money.
Coconino today has the best roads
in Arizona with one possible ex-
ception, and that is Yavapai. In
Apache the government has ex-
pended considerable money in
strips on Indian reservations, and
the uncompleted strips will receive
attention from the State and the
county.
Coconino is fortunately favored
in its good road building, purchas-
ing from the Santa Fe Pacific rail-
road the cinders required for cap
ping new roadways. This material
is ideal absorbing water like a
sponge and making the grade dust
less. The road from Flagstaff west
to Williams and east to Winslow
is surfaced with cinders and a YER
liable boulevard is in evidence.
Apache county held on Tuesday,
an election for authority to issue
S125.0OO in bonds with which to
complete its Old Trails building
program.
Mr.. Goodman says he would adj
wise tourists to the north to leave
the route over the Mogollon noun
tains to Flagstaff via Stoneman's
lake. alone. Light cars cannot
make the trip, while heavy ones
will experience difficulty. The best
route is via Ash Fork, where the
Coconino roadway is ready and is
splendidly built for speeding.

VITAL QUESTION OF
WATER is SOLVED


Like unto striking a rich pay
streak in a mine, 50 has a similar
demonstration been made in the
Jerome Junction country, by the
striking OF water in abundance on
arid land that has been generally
regarded as void of moisture al
any depth.
The developing OF an immense
subterranean flow however, has al
last been accomplished by Larry
Little, with his rig on the property
of Chas. f Burton, at a point three
and one-quarter miles to the west
OF the above settlement.
The flow was developed at a
depth of 246 feet, and continuous
pumping of a four inch stream
failed to make any appreciable de-
crease in the volume. The first
water strata was encountered al
4 depth Of 81 feet. and at go feet
the main channel seems to have
been entered. Since opened. the
well showed over 200 feet of water
and steady pumping has failed to
lower the supply to any extent
whatever.
So well pleased is Mr.. Burton
that he will change his residence
to the place where the water ha:
been determined by building a new
home and starting to cultivate the
forty acres to alfalfa from the wa
ter supply available. He also con-
templates drilling several more
wells. and shifting his large live
stock interests to that point fol
watering. Little has attained con
siderable local fame as a well-drill-
or. and his latest success has stir
red up several. owners OF land ii
that field. He has a fine rig manu-
featured by the Arizona Mine Sup
ply Co, of this city.

The mother of David Pirrie, the
unfortunate young man who lost
his life at Seligman while beating
his way to the coast from Kansas,
is made heir to the estate of more
than $500 in cash which he had to
his name while tramping. The will
was drawn at the bedside of the
dying young man in the local coun-
ty hospital where he died of blood
poisoning three days after his right
foot was amputated by a freight
engine in Seligman.
Pirrie was beating his way to the
coast with the view of saving all
the money he could and launching
into some prospective business en-
terprise. At Seligman the unfor-
tunate accident cut short his plans.
Pirrie had a bank book which
showed a deposit of $502.75 in the
Kansas State Bank OF Newton, Kan
sas. He also had about 800 in
cash upon him. After the deduc-

JUST AS HE WAS
COUNTING HIS CHICKENS
(From Fridays Daily.)

Just as his crop of 1000 tomato
plants were reaching the ripening
stage and hundreds of other plants
were within two weeks of market
time, the water supply furnishing
Joe Martinez two acre patch with
the precious fluid was shut off and
the farmer left helpless. Martinez
alleges such a course of procedure
in a complaint filed yesterday in
the superior court. He also asked
for a writ of injunction to restrain
Steve Murphy from holding back
the water supply.
The interesting water rights case
goes back to several months ago
with Congress Junction as the
scene for its inception. At the
time, Murphy is alleged to have
signed a contract that lie would
furnish Martinez patch with water
from his dam through a six-inch
main to be constructed by Martinez
over a distance of about a mile.
The pipe line was constructed
and Murphy furnished the water for
irrigation until June IS when it is
alleged he cut off the supply.
Large green tomatoes were on 100
plants while the other plants were
in a flourishing condition at the
time. Martinez alleges in his com
plant that the defendant has vast
ed good deal of the water in the
dam but that there remains enough
water there to serve his purposes
for at least a month to come.
Martinez estimates that his toma-
to plants are worth twenty-five
cents each and that he is damaged
to the extent of $1,000 from this di-
rection and $500 from the loss OF
the other vegetables.

The local entries VIII unquestion-
ably have some advantage over the
visitors because of a better famil-
iarity with the course. That this
advantage is worthy of considera-
ton can be learned by quizzing
any auto racer who knows full well
the beauty of racing over two
or five mile circular course in pref
erence to a sharp curved, uncertain
course like the forty-four mile
stretch.
George Miller in the Joslin Stutz
should reap a great deal of advan-
tage from this source. The same
NAV be said of Albert '1atz and the
driver of the Clark Stearns. HAITI
who finished second in last years
race will drive his own machine
which is commonly known as the
"Hatz Flier." The parts included
in its makeup represent a general
collection taken from many ma
chimes.
But this fact doesn't feaze HAITI
who is one of those fellows who
declares that he's perfectly salts
fed as long as it bings him the
money.
There is a possibility that Charles
