V UMMERTIME spells Europe to the tourist usually and at this
 season of tho vea,- vou see

the tourist usually and at this A season of the year you see the customer, the westerner, the noi th- erner and the southerner armed cap-a- pie with his Badaeker bound for London. Berlin, Paris and Vienna, but this year things are very different.
 Indomitable war with all of its wretchedness and misery looms high upon the horizon and instead of the wonderful places abroad beckoning to Americans, it holds up warning fin- gcr which Americans are quick to heed.
 Instead of Europe this season, the Pacific coast with all of its allure ments and beauties will claim a large part of Europe's fashionable clientele in the tourist line and every train from every direction goes forth loaded with people eager at last, when it is forced upon them to learn something of the greatness and grandeur of their own country. before going abroad and vis- iting places no more attractive than our own United States presents.
 Already the "stay at homes" are re- ceiving letters with marvellous descrip- tions of the exposition, telling of it's vastness and completeness and of the wonders of he<scenery across the con tinent.
 A very attractive description Is given by clever woman in letter to a popular Brmin gham matron in which the following is contained:
 T have thought of you frequently while doing the Panama-Pacific expo sition and I would give much to read your clever description of the wonder ftl things to be seen there. The show is richly worth while and I trust you may have an opportunity to take it in, If you do, you must spend a day seeing

CONCERTED MOVE
 TO OPEN UP COUNTRY
(From Sundays Daiiy.)

Residents of Mayer, Crown King, Turkey creek, and intervening coun- try are circulating petitions asking for official assistance in opening up the country by wagon road communi- cation. Several hundred signatures have been secured, and the matter will be presented to the board of su- pervisors in due time.
 The running of trains but twice a week to Crown King is a serious handicap to investors who may de sire to make observations of that mineral field, as has often been com plaincd of. Middleton is again the center of large mining operations, and iii few weeks will have camp of fully 100 people, with but two days d week of mail or other communica- ton. Turkey also is in the same dis regard as a distributing point for quite large mining field.
 The promoters of this proposed new road say from Mayer to Crown King the distance will be P miles. Six miles of the road out of Mayer to the Blue Bell is built. By following the grade of the Bradshaw Mountain railway, and repairing the old road used during construction days, the -o,,Eo ;e i,;d o,+ a,,d ca,, he rah,,iit at comparatively small outlay. What is desired above everything else is to have means of travelling by auto or otherwise that any point from start to finish of the route may be readily reached during any day of the week. Aside from the railroad there is not even trail open today from Mayer to Crown King.

PRISONERS WHO WORK
 ARE TO GET REWARD
(From Saturdays Dailyl

To give violators of the law a chance to prove their worth, Justice of the Peace McLane will hereafter ill pronouncing Imprisonment sen tcnces, order that if the prisoner works while serving his time, he will receive two days for one, or in other words if man is given sentence of 30 days and works the first Is, he will be released.
 The latest men up for hearing be- fore Justice McLane were Tom Reeves on a charge of petty larceny and Cruz Medina for assault with a deadly weapon.
 Reeves stole a revolver from the Busy Bee restaurant and was given sentence of 60 days and if he cares to take advantage of the order of the justice he can reduce his sentence to 30 days by working for the county.
 Cruz Medina, for whom prelim- mary hearing was held just recently at which the justice took the matter under consideration, has been bound over to await action of the Superior court under a bond of $1,000.
 Medina is the man charged with first having robbed and then cut Florentine Garcia in the Hotel Sco- pei about two weeks ago. Garcia, the victim, who is blind in one eye, carries cut from one cheek across his nose to the other side of his face.
 Medina at the hearing claimed that Garcia had been given $5 by him and another man to buy some booze. Garcia failed to purchase the booze and also failed to return the money. The man who is alleged to have done the cutting and whom Garcia accused, planes it on man who left the country the night of the f-acas.
 At the preliminary examination, after having heard both sides of the story, Justice McLane took the mat ter under advisement.

SECOND STORAGE
 FOR WILLOW CREEK
(From Saturdays DaiIy.)

Water storage on Granite creek being an unqualified success, is to be followed by another important move ment along similar lines by the Ari- zona Land and Irrigation Co.,, in which a second dam is to be con- structed this summer on Willow creek.
 The additional storage will De situ- ated within one mile of the dam now built, and will be of the same char acter and of the same impounding capacity. As soon as weather condi- tions permit corps of engineers will enter the field embraced in the Willow creek shed, in preliminary work in cidental to beginning construction.
 Another very important matter is being closed up by the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co.,, in preparing to award contracts for canal digging and laterals to divert water to their land holdings in Lonesome valley, of over 5000 acres, the first unit to be developed of the 32,000 acres owned.
 The second storage movement is due to the fact of the dam on Granite creek being inadequate to harness the flow, that stream at present assuring that this structure will be filled to the brim inside of ten days, and the overflow in coming months before the summer rains begin, will be lost. The Willow creek situation will be even more distressing without storage ia cilities, as the acreage to be develop cd must be curtailed, if water is not abundant at the seasons most desired and no storage facilities are avail able. The fact of the matter is the original storage center has proven desirable and agreeable surprise to the projectors of this big land undcrtak- ing, in the vast amount of water con served, and which was not anticipat- cd until after summer rains had start cd. With Willow creek added to Granite creek, it is believed 15OOO acres. or more land can be convenient ly reclaimed.

JEROME WOMAN
 PASSENGER ON LUSITANIA
(From Sundays Daily.)

Great fear is felt for the lives of two Jerome people, Mrs. E. T. Pea cock and her 19-year-old son, who sailed for London on board the ill- fated Lusitania, which was sunk of the Irish coast last Friday by a Ger man submarine Most of the people aboard who were saved were women and hope Is expressed by friends that Mrs. Peacock might have been among them. Small hope Is held out for the son as the majority of the men on the ship were drowned as it went down.
 Mrs. Peacock is the widow of the late Thomas Peacock, for years an employe of the United Verde Com pany in Jerome. After closing her husbands estate, Mrs. Peacock left for England where she intended to establish her home and educate her son.

SUPERIOR COURT
 HAS LIVELY SESSION
(From Sundays paiIyl

In an exciting session of the Kay Copper Company versus T. w.. Wampler suit in the Superior court yesterday, lies were hurled without number during a hot argument over legal questions The attorneys were C. F. Ainsworth and T. w. Wampler and neither was sparing in the use of the word fab-icator and each denied most of the statements made by the other.
 The argument was over motions of the plaintiff to strike out demurrers to the third amended answer and cross-complaint. Wampler was first sued by the Kay Copper Company for unfinished mill work which they claimed he had promised to perform and in return he filed a cross-com- plaint charging that the company owed him $5OO,OOO for ore that he would have milled had they allowed him to go ahead with the mill work which, he claims, they did not. This work, which was lost, extended over period of nine years and the total amount of $50O,0O0 was reduced to $324,0O0 by Judge Smith, who deduct cd four years from the first complaint charging nine years work. The court after hearing both sides decided to take the matte- under advisement.
 Other business in the Superior court yesterday consisted of judgment in a tax suit and setting of date for argument on law questions brought up in another suit.
 The tax suit was that of the State versus Martin Conrad for $38,12 and costs. The defendant failed to ap- pear and Deputy County Attorney Morgan after submitting documentary evidence was awarded judgment in favor of the State.
 On a motion of Attorney Russell the court set May II, as the date for hearing argument on law questions arising in the suit of c. E. Oyler versus the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company.

SHAPING UP FOR
 BIG OPERATIONS
(From S,:ndsy's Daiiy.)


 Arrivals yesterday from the DcSoto mines in the Bradshaw mountains, stated that the force employed at present was 25, and production was going on steadily, with shipping to Humboldt smclters.
 It was learned that as soon as the electric power line now building, reaches the camp, the force will be in creased to 50 miners. This is ex' pectcd to be accomplished this month. The DeSoto is one of the holdings of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Co.,, which resumed a short time ago, and is proving to be an attractive proposition.
