SINGLE-HANDED
 PRESCOTT BOOSTER
(From Fridays Daily.)


 V. A. Reichard, manager of Ruff ner's stables and garage, is single handed boomer of Prescott, and talks to the point in lengthy letter writ ten recently to his old home, at Greenville, Pa. The letter is given publicity in the Weekly Progress of that city. The following excerpts are taken from the interesting communi- cation of over one column in length;
 Prescott is known far and wide as "The Mile High City," or as "The Place to Live" We have almost an ideal climate summer or winter, and it is seldom either too hot or too cold. Even during the hottest days of July or August there is always a refreshing breeze, and l can remem- Der but one night in a residence of eight and one-half years that l have been here, that one and sometimes two blankets were not necessary. While the thermometer sometimes goes to the zero mark in winter after the sun goes down, the days are al ways warm and pleasant.
 While many things are still in a primitive state, the same cannot be said of Prescott. We have one of the most perfect and up-to-date little cities in the country that is nestled among the pines. There are first class schools, public and private, churches of different denominations, a dozen fraternal societies, the best system of street improvements in the Southwest, electrical power generated from water sources, and the largest department store I have ever seen outside of the larger cities. Homes are commodious as well as built in a modern and beautiful manner.
 Mining is the principal industry, combining gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc, and other metals. But we are also in the heart of a fine cattle coun- try that is on the wave of prosperity. Many hundreds of thousands of dol lars are annually brought to this city through this source. Several good sized fortunes have been made by rangemen in the space of four or five years, and I know of a number who started into the business at the foot of the ladder since I arrived here, and today they are worth from $5OOOO to $100OOO. There are many others who have used ordinary "horse" sense and they are well-to-do.
 within 25 miles of Prescott is To- cated the city of Jerome, the home of the United Verde Copper Com pany. This mine enjoys the distinc- ton of being the greatest mineral proposition in the known wcrld-- simply a mountain ribbed with solid body of ore, the extent of which is astounding. It is generally stated the ore body has only been scratched and diamond d-ill exploration places the life of this property at a century ahead.
 "The European war hit us a hard blow in forcing down the price of copper, but the reaction is on, and the rcd metal is again advancing rapidly. This has stimulated other mines, and activity again is general throughout this large field, which exemplifes the old saying that you can't keep good country down very long at time"

 ENTERED BY JOE KURI
(From Saturdays Daily)

Not guilty" was the plea entered by Joe Kuri in the Superior court yesterday morning before Judge Smith. His trial was set for June 8, the first day of the next jury session.

REFORM WAVE IS
 SWEEPING OVER STATE
(From Fridays Daily.)


 TUCSON, May 6.-Dicing for cig- ars and other merchandise also may be banned as gambling by County Attorney Hilzinger as result of the investigation which he is now mak- ing. He announced yesterday after correspondence with Attorney Gen eral Jones, that punch boards here after would be considered as gamb- ling devices. In accordance with that decision, Sheriff Forbes has published notice that arrests will follow fur ther use of the boards.
 Punch boards recently were put out of business in Phoenix" said MT. Hilzinger. "The primary reason for stopping them here, is that they are gambling devices and consequently illegal It may have been at the start that they were merely devices to stimulate trade, but the game has grown to such an extent that it bids fair to swallow trade.
 Tt has been developed to the point of interference with legitimate trade. There is no limit to the sort of me- chandise offered as prizes. They dispose of jcwelry by this means, yet they pay no jewellers license. Candy is so disposed of, yet they pay no license as confectioners. Protests have been made to me about it. am looking into the matter further"
 Girls Are Lured. The punch boards were not in evi- dence at the various tobacco stores up and down Congress street and Stone avenue this morning This has become one of the most popular pas times with those who have a minute, or an hour in which to loaf Even girls have been lured by the spirit of chance.
 A punch board manufacturer for merly kept an agent in Tucson. Many travelling agents come through. Many of the boards used in this city are manufactured in Los Angeles, al though it is understood that Los An geles has prohibited their use. The plan by which the law is avoided there is to sell post cards at ten cents each and give punch free with each card. Not infrequently the customer does not care to take the post card.
 Frank Howe of Howe Bros news and fruit stand, in the postofice building, said this morning that they would discontinue the use of the boards rather than have fight about it, but that they would first confer with the county attorney. They oper- ate board of the post card variety.
 Howe Bros. also manufactured some boards with candy as prizes and distributed them about the city.
 We are candy wholesalers" said Mir Howe, "and took care to put $50 worth of value on every $50 board put out"
 Jewelry to Mackintoshes.
 Jewelry is the class of prizes most generally offered, although every thing from pipes to mackintoshes has been offered in season. One board on which was offered an automobile went so slow that it was recalled. Ten cents per punch is the standard price, but in the automobile instance, the price was blind, being the amount of the number punched, and which as the vericst tyro at punching knows is concealed beneath a seal. It ran into dollars.
 About a year and half ago there was an effort made by the city to stop the use of dice, but upon the plea that it was a stimulus to trade" the practice was allowed to continue.
 It is said that the profits on a board will run 200 pc: cent or more to the retailer.

Sons or The Revolution

The Revolutionary war was closed
49, years ago, When Asaph Terry
died in Connecticut recently at the age
of eighty-fve it was supposed toat he
was the last son of revolutionary sol
der, but four others have been found
who claim that distinction, one only
seventy-siX years of age. But still
more surprising is the case of w. G.
Wheeler of South Woodbury., Vermont
who is reported 10y the newspapers as
being only sixty seven years old and n
son Of revolutionary soldier. His
father, the veteran of the struggle for
independence, was three times married
and siIty-three years interviewed be-
tween the birth OF the Oldest and young
est son. This is a reminder that the
fathers Of America were in the habit
of remaining in the married state
throughout their lives regardless OF the
death of their mates. The large fam
lilies OF the colonial period were due to
this custom as is also the rather re-
markable fact that 50 many sons of rev.
dictionary soldiers are still among us.

| hibits covering every phase of the mo-
tor industry, from the simplest device
to the monster caterpillar trucks man
ufactured in Wisconsin for the warning

time this season, and gasoline and cleo
trio pleasure cars will be at the State
Fair this year which otherwise would
not be exhibited until the annual auto
mobile show of the Milwaukee Auto
mobile Dealers association in January.

This year, however, the Milwaukee
dealers will transfer all of its elabOr'
ate show paraphernalia from the
Auditorium to the State Fair grounds
This decorative scheme has cost the
Milwaukee dealers approximately
100000, and patrons of the State Fair

of seeing the elaborate style and de-
coration of a midwinter auto show in
the metropolis will have this spectacu
lar feature as one of the Compensa
tions for their visit to the Fair this
year
The color scheme of the decorations
will be in olive green, gold and maroon
with shades of green and maroon

The Chinese Experiment.

That Yuan Shih i{ai is contemplate
ing changing the present form OF Gov
eminent in China back TO a monarchy is
not greatly surprising. The Chinese
experiment has not turned out re-
public. The expulsion of the Manchp
royal family did not make a republic,
more than the flight Of one swallow
from the South makes summer. The
masses were not prepared for radical
change in the form OF Government.
The class which agtated in behalf OF
the change and promoted the revoIu-
ton could not have realized the funda-
mental eparedness of the country
as a whole and of the huge proportions
of the task attempted.
China has had mail service, tele-
graphs, newspapers, railroads for less
than generation. Much of the coun-
try is still untouched by any OF these
ciyilizers. There are millions of Chi
nese who are provincial and uninform-
ed in a degree hardly possible in any CT
vilized country save in India, where
letters have been regarded as the lux
ury Of naboops and ignorance As the
natural condition OF 90 men in 100.
/, became apparent soon after the
upheaval in China that true republic
was not practical at this time. The
abolition OF political parties and much
Of the legislative machinery, by de-
gree, marked the course Of President
who rules as a choice of evils no doubt,
more like an autOcrat than like the
head OF a democratic government. The
returned students who inaugurated
the revolution have missed their aim.
Whether or not a republic is possible
at this time is a question upon which
students Of Chinese affairs disagree.
What course should be taken TO arrive
at a practical solution of the problem
created by the revolution is a question
which might well tax craftsmanship
greater than that of Yuan Shi Kai
Whatever the immediate outcome Of
the existing situation the transforma-
ton Of China must await the emil ghten-
ment of a vast, conservative, slow-moy-
ing population which has known little
about, and cared less about, what has
occurred since the royal palace at Pc
, kin was boarded up and the sign Of a
republic hung up as a supplanter Of
the dragon of monarchy.--EX.

Writes man to New YORK paper
as follows:
"Will someone please explain TO me
why it is that so many females feel in.
PEELED to engage in business, many OF
them occupying what formerly were
mems positions? To the writer IL seems
that really refined girl is entirely un-
fitted for business life, not because of
her inferiority but because Of her SUI
periority.
1T is almost impossible for a woman
to 90 into business with men for any
length OF time without becoming slight
ly coarsened, and they all lose that re
fnement and indednabe charm that the
good modest, home girl possesses, and
then business women wonder why men
do not give them their seats in the cars
as formerly, and why they often use
language in their presence that they
would not think Of using in the pres
ence OF a home girl. Are the men en-
tirely at fault, or is il the detestable
manisnness Of the average business
woman
Another man writes to another New
York paper Of the same date that so
cietyn nowadays is shocking in point
OF the coarseness Of the conversation
between men and women, even debu-
tantes and their beauX discussing any
and every formerly forbidden topic with
such freedom that anyone oyerhearing
them would note no difference between
their lack Of reserve and that mani.
Tested in the lounging room OF stag
club, save that personal gossip is more
frequent than it is ia mems clubs, ior
personalities are avoided by gentlemen
when women are discussed.
In the circumstances what is a CIR
to doy Shall She eschew business 10 b,
coarsened in society, or society to be
coarsened in business?
AS a matter Of fact there are many
many dignGed and refined women who
receive pay envelopes. And there are
many, many girls in society who dc
not find it necessary to advertise them
selves as prudes in order to ayoiC
cOarSeness.
The world always has been going tc
the flesh and the devil, according to
alarmed critics But centuries pass
without its quite going over the brink,
and there is always a considerable por-
ton Of il that stands well back from
the brink, unobserved by those who are
upon the q,a rirc for something which
they may feel warranted in viewing
with alarm.

FAIR is TOO BIG.

No one possibly can see all Of
the 1915 Wisconsin State Fair in
one day. It is too big.
In addition to the Fair proper,
which will be the best the state
ever has given, and a mammoth
automobile show, there will be
battle in the sky between two avia-
tors 1000 feet from earth, and
eighteen other big special attrac-
tions. Then there will be a fine ar
ray of clean. worthwhile paid
shows.
On Monday the best racing motor.
cyclists in the United States will
compete in three big events.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday there will be harness
and running races.
Music will be furnished by eiah.
teen bands and four orchestras.
The national colors will float from
every building and tent.
