SCOTT GOES TO
 COMMAND AT NAC0 Administration Has High Hopes from Diplomatic Mission of Chief of Staff.
SITUATION CRITICAL
War Department Refuses to Speculate on What Will Happen, If Old Border Warrior Should Fail
 in Purpose.

Washington, Dec. 16.--Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, left Washington at 7:30 tonight for Naco to take charge of the United States forces there and of the endorsements on their way. 7,
 He goes under special orders of the war department. He was accompa- nied by Major Robert Michie. who is attached to the army staff. They will reach Naco Saturday afternoon.
 No developments of importance are expected previous to General Scotts arrival. Certainly if there should be any extraordinary developments, they will be caused by some overt acts of the Maytorena or Hill forces General Bliss has been ordered to "sit tight" until General Scott reaches the scene.
 The hope entertained by the admin istration of pacific results to be achieved through General Scott's mis- sion were thus expressed in an off cial statement issued by Secretary Garrison this afternoon:
 Because of tie personal acquaint- ances acquired with the different fac tions while he was stationed on the border, General Scott has been sent to Naco. This is done in the hope that he may be able by reason of the knowledge and acquaintances acquired to induce the warning factions on the Mexican side of the line to desist from imperilling persons and property on cur side of the line.
 "Genersl Bliss has pointed out to us the possibility of utilizing General Scott's knowledge and experience in this way"
 The war department will not make any statement as to what will happen if the diplomatic mission of General Scott should not succeed.
 Army officers say. however. the situation will be extremely critical if General Scott should fail. He is not personally known to General Hill or Maytorena, but he has a thorough knowledge of the situation and has good relations with tho leaders who control both those revolutionary cap tains.

Edison Day.

As tribute to MT. Thomas A Edison, the man who put ''tric" in electric, electrical men have agreed to observe Oct. 21st as 'tEdison day.
 The coming October 21st will be the 35th anniversary of Edison's comp etion of his experMents on the Electric .Incandescent lamp which marked the beginning of the marvellous growth of the electrical industry. At the same time Edison perfected the electrical dynamo or generator and established the first Central Station for the commercial manufacture of electrical energy for electric lighting
 Since that time Edison has been a name to conjure by in all things electrical and popularly we ascribe our benefits arising from the free use of electric current to Edison Anything bearing the name of Edi- son is always accepted at full par value, indicating the high esteem in which he is held. a
 In nothing has the masterful genius of this great man shown more prominetly than in the lamp which now bears his name, the Edison Mazda Lamp, developed from an efficiency of about ten watts per candle power to the latest product of the General Electric Company which has been developed 10 the marvellous efficiency of one half watt per candle power. If yop do not use "Edison Mazda Lamps" you are not get ing your full share of the benefits accuring the human race from the wonderful works of 1 Edison.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS.

MT Artigo and Andres Padilla were arrested the first of the week by Deputy Sheriff Patterson and Und ersheriff Geo. s. Patten with the assistance of Mir. Snowden. The defendants were assigned be. fore U. s. Commissioner Geo. Elem ing at Flagstaff on Tuesday where they were bound over to appear be- fore the Grand Jury at Prescott in March. The facts developed that box car had been broken into and entered while the train was stand ing on the crossing and more than three hundred pounds of beans and a number of oranges taken. Sus. picion rested on the above named parties and they were arrested. One of them had checked his suit case and when asked by c. s. Patt- erson where he. was going and what he had in his suit case, said that he was going east and that he had clothes in his suit case. Upon in- vestigating it proved to be oranges, which, together with other things gave them clue and landed the defendants in the Federal Court. Their premises were then searched and the stolen property recovered. Much credit is due these officers f,r their prompt action and the way that they handled the case.

SPEED BURNER COMING
Many Noted Drivers and Chug-bike Riders to be at Fair.

There is not a day that the speed manager of the track does not re. ceive letter from some daredevil driver of either four or two wheel gas buggies asking for the chance tC come in one of the many stunts fol the fall festival.
 The coast to Phoenix race is giv- ing promise of being one of the greatest in history of the desert classic. Already many of the fore most drivers of big cars in the coun- try have to make the long grind over the desert from Los Angeles to Phoenix, and there will be many more before the entries close for the event.
 Barney Oldfield, veteran of the track, is an. assured contestant Earl Cooper who has been making, history in the year just passed, has already looked over the course, and will be strong contender when the pistol sends them away from the scratch line over the sand grind be- tween here and the coast.
 While Teddy Tetzlaff has been sent to the repair shop from bad spill he writes the management that he will be here sure for the event and that he will be in shape to show the boy- in the sprint trials what it means to burn gasoline.
 The sprint events by the way ore unusually attractive this season and should bring out many of the car drivers who shine on dirt ovals. Taking it all in all the Fair program of auto events is going to re the best that has ever been offer d in the history of the annual exposition.
 Each year finds the speed drivers on the two wheel gas wagons ready to risk their life and limb in an en- deavor to clip from there cords some fraction of section that the riders may say he has set new mark.
 This. season the entries at the State Fair Track show marked inn provement over the list sent to the scratch line in the speed events last year.
 The prizes to be offered for the best in speed and endurance have been the means of bringing out many crack riders and contention and plenty of it, is assured in the chug-bike program.
 The entry list for the long desert grind on the day of the fair vii show many great riders and there are those who think that Arizona i one of her game sons may see thu winter of the great event remain a home.
 At any rate it is sure to be { great contest and if all signs obtain there is no doubt that new record vii come out If the trials both il the oval and in the cross country runs.

DEMOCRATS HELD. BIG
 RALLY MONDAY NIGHT
State Officers Meet People at Sultana Theatre and give account of their Stew ardships--Receive Hearty applause from People.

Last Monday night Governor Hunt, Secretary of State Osborn, Treasurer Sims, Auditor Callaghan. Mine inspector Bolin, Attorney General Jones, Superintendent of Schools Case, Corporation Com missioner Cole, and Tax Commis- sioner Miller, present state officers and candidates for reelection. ap- peared before the people at the democratic rally held at the Sultana theatre that night and gave ac- counts of their work up to date. The entire party took train No. 3 west in order to be in Phoenix for large meeting Tuesday.
 Each of the various officers gave good account of his stew ardship, to the people, and the record of the group as a whole shows marked efficiency and in- dustry. Under the adminis- tration of these men the state has made rapid progress and u e people have recieved greater benefits from their two years work than any had anticipated could be secured in so short a time.
 The Corporation Commission and the Tax Commission are rather new departure in the way of state, offices. Only the more progressive states have them. A good many people have felt some doubt of the need of these com missions, but after the showing made Monday night, none can doubt the commissions have been, of enormous value to the people.
 Far from being an additional burden, they have done a great deal to tighten the load on common people.
 Each of the other officers rendered a9good account. Wiley E. Jones with his usual eloquence flayed the enemies of the admin +istration with a verbal whip of cords that made the puerile attacks of those people only laughing matter for the audi ence. Governor Hunt with his congenial kindly countenance and his sincere speech reached the hearts of the people, and attached them strongly to Hunt, the man, as well as to Hunt, the Governor.
 I Geo. w. Harben, of Williams, presided at the meeting and in. troduced each of the various speakers with an eloquence that compared favorably even with that of Wiley Jones, the orator of the evening.

A good many people have asked why I sold my dray business. The answer is just this I got my price and I was getting tired of a continual fight with the Santa Fe in an endeavor to get the freight for my customers which is daily being held to be delivered at theil pleasure. The Interstate Com. merce Commission says freight shall have prompt delivery, but Santa Fe says you get it when they want to give it to you and under these circumstances connected with several others the dray busi- ness becomes disgusting. In cities yoar freight is unloaded and delivered at once why?-because they have commercial clubs who see that it is done while 1 as an individual have had an up hill fight trying to protect your rights l also can quote you where freight | belonging to one of my customers was given to an opposition dray- man and held in his barn for days because he did not know where to deliver it. This and some more is sample of what I was up aga,nst, all I asked that the Business men form a commercial club and you will find difference in the service Thanking my patrons for the las 4 years patronage in the dray business and it will also still be { pleasure for me to still fight for m, to still fight for your rights in th' futu.e.

Beachy who stands in a class by himself is authority for the statement that he will pass his mantle when he deserts the up Iper air to the great little pupil, the flashing son of the emerald isle.
 Beachy who does not employ birdman until they have passed his standard of flying has in Me Guire a genuine find, A natural airman, cool daring and with a great head in tight places the little irishman is said by those who have seen him to be the riv- al of his gifted master.

 Recently Beachy in an endeav- or to please the President of the United States turned a pair of somersaults in mid air over the White House. Beachy is the only man to fly over Niagara Falls and dip under the suspension bridge above the deadly whirl- pool rapids.

COCON|NO COUNTY WILL
 BUILD ITS OWN ROADS


 tax payers of Coconino County will be called upon to vote bonds to the amount of $5, 900, 900 for the purpose of constructing ''State Highways throughout the State. Very little has been said about the amount of interest that will be- necessary to vote to take care of the interest on the bonds. A low estimate places it at more than the face of the bonds and in the end the tax payers will have to raise by tax ation the total sum of $11, 125, GOO before the bonds are matured and paid off. Coconino will have to raise it's portion of the, above amount if the bond issue carries, and will have very little to say where the money will be spent.
 Only 75 per cent of the portion that will be necessary for Coco nino County to raise will be spent within the borders.
 Each County should build it's own roads and should spend all the money it raises in road taxes on it's own roads. Coconino County has paid into the state for road purposes, heretofore, the sum of $38, 827.25 and most of the tax payers know how little this county has received in return.
