 When argument against the proposition called for there not single person who thought of anything adverse to the excellent proposition of Mr. Walter Doug as delivered through the Phelps representative in Tombstone, Dr. Emil Grebe The meeting decided by proper resolution that the unanimous voice of the taxpayers present that the City Council and mmed atey take steps have survey of the city made with the idea of ascertainng just what 1t would cost to install the equipment necessary to receive and distribute the juice from the point of delivery by the Dodge people, and to that end the mayor has called special meeting of the Council for tonight to act in the matter.
 Tombstone has long needed electricity from reliable and dependable source and the first steps that will ut matey bring this about in the of municipal sys tenn, taken last night when it unanimously de- cded place the matter in the hands of the mayor and common council to immediately the services of expert look the proposition and give estimate It brought out that at the starting of the system the rate to the would be lower than any other city in the county and that ater when the first expense of installation etc., has been overcome, the rate would undoubtedly be reduced lower still, in time.
 All present highly enthusiastic the proposi on. Mayor kuchenbecker spoke highly of the feasibility of the plan municipal enterprise, and Secretary A. H. Gardner, of the meeting and who has had previous perence in electrical enterprises briefly lauded the action of the and council and outlined the proposition of cheaper rates ultimate object Dr. H. H. Hughart, F. N Wolcott, Joe Nocross Frank Willard, Attorney O. Gibson, Councilman w. G. Gilmore, J. H. Megren, At toney Lee O. Wooery we'll other business and taxpayers present, had few words say different phases of the matter and the Prospector earnestly be- eves Mr. Wolcott stated in his brief address That the fact of Mr. Walter Douglas of the mining interests had made the citizens of Tombstone this gen. offer speaks volumes for the future of the county seat. For we believe tends to show that work extensive scale the very future is contemplated and that Tombstone is to derive the benefits.
 Another meeting is to be called by Mayor Kuchen- becker after the estimate has been secured decide how the to take the proposition to be raised and make other necessary arrangements. Attorney w. G.

valley towns favor the Mammoth Wash route to Los Angeles.

Wash route to Los Angeles. This route natutally passes through | Calipatria or Brawley; cros ,es to the ]. west of Salton Sea. where il joins the new boulevard to be built by Riverside county. This is the road that Los An geles needs to boost hard.
 Those favoring the sand hills route warn all travellers that the road to Los Angeles is absolutely impossible of travel We went over il in the Apper- son without once going out of the high speed,

They will go ahead when assurance is given that the other end of the road through the desert 10 Brawley and Galipatris and thence to Yuma will be built
 With the magnificent boulevards oi this county leading 70 Riverside, with the Riverside road leading to the coun- ty line on the west side of Salton Sea; with the old ocean-to ocean Borderland Route road carrying the traffic to I'm perlal Valley, it only remains for the sap to be filled by road between Yu. ma and the Calpatria through the
 Mammoth wash
 The Riverside people are already hard at work Under the leadership ot such men as DT. Coffman of Palm Springs. petitions are being circulated to induce the members of the state legislature to support Assemblymar Avey's bill for s200.000 appropria tioh for the Mammoth wash road
 This sum will be suffi cient 10 builC the road through the wash and restor, the balance of the road through West

SAN DIEGO ENTERPRISE

SAN DIEGO ENTERPRISE
 There is no chance to divert the na- tiona highway from San Diego nor is it desirable to do SO By their splen- did enterprise the San Diego people nave won q place in the sun. They were seizing upon the possibilities of this road while we were drea ming about it.
 But San Diego already has one good road that will connect her with the ocean-to-oceau Borderland route the state is building another one for her. Somehow or other she will get the plank raft across tEe sand hills.
 No real reason exists why both Los Angeles and San Diego should not have a fork of the terminus of this national Boulevard
 Calculating on our time from the valley to Los Angeles under the pres ent roads. it can be stated with some assurance that the automobile trip of he future, when these roads are made, will be accomplished in about nine hours,

Are Not Really Wasted.
Is It any wonder that the ammu-
milton bill is big and that results 90
not measure up to 1t? 1t must pc re-
membered, however, that the constant
dropping Of shells keeps the morale OF
the foemen down and that when 1t Is
said that the shots are wasted the
words do not express the full truth.
One of the most interesting things
which | saw on the battle front In
France, was the attempt OF a French
battery to bring down" a captive bal
loon which the Germans had sent up
from their lines for observation pur-
poses. The two Germans in the bas-
ket Of that balloon must have been
men of magnificent nerve. The range
was not a long n and the first
French shells burst at some distance
from the balloon. Gradually, how
ever, the shots began getting nearer
and nearer to the mark, but the bal
loonists with their lives in their hands
went on taking their observation amid
a rain of ~projectiles until apparently
the commanding officer on the ground
below ordered that they should be
pulled down to a place Of safety.
The men who go up in the air to
fight, whether they be Englishmen.
Frenchmen, Belgians. Germans, Rus
SLAMS, Turks or Italians, are perhaps
the transcending heroes OF this war.
