A DUAL ROLE
= -
By Elmer Cobb.
Ten years before John Hayward
had been a poor 1ad-in Staples. Now
he was returning, comparatively rich,
to settle down in the village of his
birth. And when a man does this, if
he be bachelor, it is safe to assume
that the thought of some old boyhood
sweetheart has crossed his brain.
There were two of them sisters.
June and Lucille PurVis were twins,

he hid it successfully from the world.
This was a dreamy, sentimental side,
such as the stately June alone could
satisfy. And perhaps this was his sin
cerest and truest side. But June was
married.
And so, with lingering thoughts of
June, he proposed to ask Lucille to be
his wife. Lucille was as jolly as ever,
unattached, and apparently as young
as ten years earlier. Perhaps she was
twenty-nine John was thirty-foUr.
And, with increasing years, the June
side had developed at the expense of
the other.
''Pshawr' he muttered. "a man is
a sentimental fool when he passes
thirty, anyway. Lucille would make
me the jolIiest wife imaginable"
And Lucille had all but told him she
would.
And when he got back home, after
that visit during which he had fully
decided to put the question next time
then John took out of a. secret
drawer a certain little diary which he
had carried with him for ten years.
June had put that into his hands, that
day he went aWay-tall, statuesque
June, whom he had always thought
so cold. And in it we're certain poig-
nant passages which he re-read this
night, to test himself, before asking
that momentous question of Lucille.
John turned the pages.
"He is going away tomorrow" he
read. And I love him. And 1 don't
know what to do. I must tell him.
He thinks me utterly different from
what l am. I wonder what he would
thing if he knew how many tears I
have shed"
The writing broke off abruptly, and
that was the last paragraph in the
book. john turned back.

SIGNAL SUCCESS IS
BIG ROAD MEETING
(From SATURDAYS Daily.l


The meeting of the Arizona
Good Roads Association last night
at the court house was undoubt-
edly the best and most fruitful of
any in the history OF this organiza-
ton. The report of the success of
the petition for a bond issue OF
S5,000000 for a system OF State
roads, met with warm approval.
Governor Hunt was present and
expressed himself heartily in fav-
or OF the measure.
Col. Sellars, State Highway Com
missioner of New Mexico made a
most interesting address on the con-
dition OF the roads leading from the
Lincoln Highway through New
Mexico and Arizona He empha-
sized the importance OF building
FIRST the north and south road, the
backbone, as he called it. He said
the east and west roads would be
the ribs running in each direction
from it. He made plain the great
benefits the roads under contempla-
ton will be to Arizona. A keynote
speech was made by Gray of Co
chise, when he sounded the slogan
OF harmony between the counties
OF the State.
Others who addressed the meet
ing were State Engineer Cobb, Clark
of Prescott, Becker and Golfer OF
Apache, Cater, Conway. Mouer and
Orme of Maricopa, Lock, Powers
and others.
The counties competing for the
beautiful silver cup were Maricopa,
Coconino and Pinal. Chairman T.
G. Norris appointed as judges, Gus
tave Becker, Col. Sellars and Hon.
a. a. Moore, who are to report at
900 o'clock this morning.

ALLEGES BREACH OF
CONTRACT IN SUIT
[From Thursdays Daily.D

" lOlAi L iAdA SNeAS A~-+--
Suit was yesterday instituted in
the Superior Court by Frances E.
Hotenspiller, guardian of Edwin r.
Hotenspiller charging breach OF a
mining contract made with \. X.
DeKuhn, a mining man of the Cher
ry Creek district DeKuhn was
named as defendant, in an action
brought by the same plaintiff three
months ago, which was dismissed
upon a legal point.
The first action brought as a
forcible entry and detaIner suit,
alleged that an agreement had been
entered into whereby DeKuhn pro-
cured the mining property under
4 lease and option to purchase.
During the period that the mine
was TO be worked, DeKuhn wa.
to forward to the owners a fifteen
per cent margin of the receipts re
ceived from the sale OF ores. Ac~
cording to the latest complaint no
dividends OF any kind have been
received. Violation Of the con-
tract is alleged upon these grounds.
Further allegation has ii that tbs
ores mined from this property were
to be delivered to the Humboldt,
smelter but that instead DeKuhn
sold the ore after mining to I'M
known parties. He also failed, it
is alleged, to make monthly re
port to the plaintiff. Dekuhn's
lease has still two years to run.

Pre- S|DENT
CONFERSON
BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, July 2-For
nearly an hour the President dis
cussed business conditions with J.
P. Morgan at the first of a series
of conferences which will bring to
the White House men foremost in
industry and finance. 1t was one
OF the very few occasions when the
President received one recognized
among leaders OF big business"
Officials said, that while the ad-
ministration's greatest legislative
projects were under way, the tariff
and the currency bill and the trust
program was being completed, the
President felt there should be no
opportunity for charge in reoeiv-
ing inspiration from the business
and financial centers. Now that
two reforms have been completed
and third is in its final stage, the
President is said to feel that an ex-
change of thought and information
with captains OF industry would be
conducive to business revival which
he expects to see along lines thu
administration holds to be legal.
Next week Henry Ford, the De
troit automobile manufacturer will
confer with the President, and after
that a delegation from the Chicago
Association of Commerce. Out of
these exchanges the President ex
poets the business men to learn
that lawful enterprise has nothing
to fear from the Democratic ad
ministration. The President said that
Morgan's call was cordial and large
ly reminiscent as they have known
each other for a long time. Nor
gan expressed no opinion as to
whether business was good or bad.

ELECTRIC POWER FOR
OCTAVE FIELD
ZION Saturday's Daily.)

(FIOm OdIuIOdy Ddlly-)
Mine owners of the Octave field
will be interested to learn that
electrical power will soon be intro
duced at the various camps, and as
well is it quite possible Yarnell
and Fools Gulch and possibly the
Congress country will likewise be

This important announcement
was made a few days ago by NJ.
P Jewett OF Phoenix, who is So
journing here for a few weeks with
his wife, daughter and father. He
recently purchased the large plant
at Witkenburg of the Arizona and
Eastern Electric Company, and
states the building of the first unit
of power transmission to outside
points begins Immediately, with Oc-
ave. as the destination.
This move is indicative OF that
big gold property preparing to re-
sumo in short time, in fact, it is
stated, Boston owners are closing
Up arrangements to this end From
Wickenburg to Octave the distance
5 about eight miles, while from Oc-
tave to Yarneh and other points in
that region. a lesser distance will
be required to tap each camp.
The country IS attractive for cleo
;rical power to enter, wood fuel
being out OF the question while the
prevailing expense OF crude oil prac-
;ically prohibits many mines from
operating. Mr.. Jewett is reported
to be quite wealthy, and until re-
Gently was a large land holder OF
the Salt River valley. Among min
ing men interested in the region,
this movement meets with univer-
sal satisfaction, and will materially
assist many mines to become active

PUT FINISHING TOUCHES
TO COURT QUARTERS
CFrom Thursdays Daily.)

Painters and electric fixture me
chanics are putting on the finishing
touches to quarters prepared in
the Elks building for the Federal
court sessions to be held in Pres
colt at least semi-annually.
Previous announcement mad it that
Judge Sawtelle would hold his sum
mer term of court in this city. The
absence of United States Marshal
Joe Dillon who is in Atlanta at the
present time lends some doubt to
the possibility of this program ma
terializing.
Judge Sawtelle is scheduled to ar
rive here either tomorrow or on
the Fourth to enjoy the Frontier
Day festivities. Some definite idea
of his plans will then be CLEANED.
The suite is not only spacious
but handsomely designed and FIN
ished. The entrance leads directly
into the large court room which
can be diverted towards other pur-
poses when court is not in ses-
sion. Half finished in clear white
plaster and base of Cleveland
gray, the walls offer 4 pretty eff
feet.
The floor is such that the terp-
sichorean feature may be enjoyed
by the Elks and their guests when
the court is not in session. There
is a possibility that the antlers may
fttingly observe the completion of
their building inside as well as out
side, with a terpsichorean function
tomorrow night
From the main court room, one
goes into the lobby from where
entrances lead to staircase to
the lodge rooms on the third floor.
On the same floor with the court
room are three large office rooms
in which the Judge, U. s. marshal
and the Court Clerk will have their
offices. All are decorated in the
same way as the court room with
the exception of the elaborate hin
ish on the ceilings.
The furniture for the court room
is still to be installed. Mission will
oe the predominating style. Car
penters have already completed the
rows OF benches for spectators and
witnesses.

Yavapai Countys reputation for
knowing how to treat her unfor-
tunaHes humanely in every sense OF
the word was given a further boost
yesterday with the receipt of a
letter by the Journal-Miner from a
committee of the Federal prison
ers now serving a term in the local
institution. A number of the in
mates who are serving time for
selling whiskey to the Indians have
seen better days and the wording
of the communication would indi-
cate that the author, in particular,
is in a position ito judge the calibre
of hospitality provided his fellow
unfortunates.
The letter which speaks for itself
follows:
ITO the Public-We, the under
signed Federal prisoners take this
means of expressing our apprecia-
ton of the kind and humane treat
ment accorded us while confined in
1.-THE Yavapai County Jail. After be-
ing confined in Yuma county and in
Phoenix pending trial the difference
in food, treatment and sanitary con-
ditiOns are so great as to be be-
yond comparison. Most of the men
here are victims of a system and
all the Federal prisoners unanimous
ly agree that the sheriff and his
deputies are considerate and gen
tlemanly in their dealings with us.
They grant any request within Tea-
son with grace and kindness and not
as a condescension upon their part.
Every opportunity is given a man to
keep clean and sanitary and medi-
cal attendance is prompt and good.
So here's to the Yavapai County jail.
it's officials and the public that sup
ports them in their efforts to re-
deem men and not make criminals
of them. We gladly sign our names
to this; Louis Galatas, J. Spencer,
Tom Nesbit, Santiago Mcdaniel and
w. Taylor Committed"
The letter was handed to a Journ-
alMiner reporter by one Of the
prisoners whose time is about up.
Most of the fifty-two Federal in
mates have just about served their
time and are ready TO be released.
