TOWN JAIL NEEDED

What's the matter with our town
going ahead with the work of build
ing the town hall and Jail. If this
could be started right now, the steel
cages at the SoOmonvile Jail could
be utilized in the new building and
several hundred doljaIs saved to the
town. The expense Of taking prison
ers to Solomonville and bringing
them back here for trial will, in a
short time, reach a figure beyond
the cost of new Jail in town.
The new Jail will have to be built
anyway, also the town hall. The
town owns a good lot, plenty large
enough for a combined town hall
and jail. The people have voted in
favor of bonds for such a building
and it would be a good idea 70 save
money for the taxpayers by starting
its construction.
There is nothing economical in
keeping town prisoners in the Jail at
SOIomonville. They should be kept

THEORY AND PRACTICE

Great interest is being evinced in
the plan of combining theory and
practice that is to be put in opera
ton this year by the University of
Arizona College of Mines. Engi-
neers from all over the country,
editorials in leading magazines and
many other sources of approval are
to be found. The plan is based on
the theory that the practice of en-
gineering cannot be learned at the
university; it can be learned only
where engineering is practiced-in
the field.
Yet it is essential that the prac-
tice and theory should be taught
simultaneously, and in order to do
this the university plans week end
instruction at the mining camps of
the State. Half of the week is spent
in the study of the theory and the
balance in the study of practices at
the successful mines of the State.
Heretofore the proposition has
been that a student must get his
practice entirely after leaving the
university, but the disadvantage to
this is that he does not secure the
variety, the breadth of training
without serious disadvantage 10 his
work. While it is not expected that
his plan will in any way supercede
the necessity of getting large
amount of practice after gradua-
ton, it will bring the students into
contact with vigorous wOrkmen as
we'll as his professors, it will give
the student inspiration and ambition
to do better and more conscientious
work. it will allow the student to
live in the atmosphere of the in
dustry, it will broaden the students
knowledge of conditions, of men, of
practices and, above all, will show
the student that his chosen profes'
sion is really serious business.
The careful working out of the
plan is an immense step forward
for the University of Arizona,

SAVING MOUNT VERNON
SITE FROM DESTRUCTION

The high bluff on which stands
Mount Vernon, the home of our
first president, has for years been
in danger Of gradually sliding into
the Potomac. This danger became
acute few years ago when it was
discovered that new landslide was
beginning that threatened to de-
stroy the broad lawn in front of the
mansion, if not the foundations of
the mansion itself, and engineering
work, recently completed, was be-
gun at that time to save the historic
site from further damage. The
ground slopes from the mansion to
the edge of the bluff and from this
point drops steepIy for a hundred
feet or more, to the edge of the
Potomac The river al this point is
wide tidaI estuary and the action
of the waves has caused a steady
erosion at the foot of the bluff.
Underlying the bluff are Stratas of
sand, clay and soft sandstone, which,
on investigation, were found to be
saturated with water, and this,
combined with the erosion of the
waves, has resulted in landslides
that have doubtless been going on
intermittently for ages, To cure
the trouble a small drainage tunnel
was first driven in the bottom of
the sandstone stratum and carried
back from the river front distance
of about 200 feet. From this tun-
mel a heavy flow of water immedi-
ately started and this flow continued
for several months. At the end of
that time the flow diminished to
moderate amount and has remained
practically constant ever since. To
prevent further erosion at the foot
of the bluff through the action of
the waves a heavy masonry wall
was then built along the edge of
the river. = From the August Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.

HIGH FLASH POINT NOT A
NECESSITY

1t is an old theory that was
never founded on solid facts that a
high flash point is a necessity in a
motor oil, or the oil will burn up
without giving any fabrication, "
says Lieutenant G. S. Bryan, in the
Journal of American Society of
Naval Engineers. The point was
overlooked that, when we have a
maximum temperature of the gases
in the cylinder of 2,7OO degrees F.
and an average temperature of $50
degrees F., an oil with a flash point
of 45O degrees F. will offer but little
more resistance to burning than one
would of $50 degrees F.
Either oil will burn if kept for
any length of time in contact with
the hot gas. Lubricating oil does
not burn very easily or very fast,
however, and the time given for it
to burn in a motor cylinder is very
short, A thin film Of oil smeared
on a hot 900 degree) piece of iron
steel will burn for several seconds
if ignited Few motors ever run
at less than 100 revolutions per min
ute, and at this rate the average
point of fabricated surface on the
cylinder wall would be exposed to
the action Of the flame for only one
quarter of second. 1t is easily
seen that there is no danger of all
the oil film being burned in that
short time; though there is no doubt
that some of it is burned. whether
the flash point is 300 F. or 500 de-
grees F. At high speed the time
allowed the oil to burn is so small a
fraction of a second that we need
not IVORY on this score"

MORE FIRE HOSE NEEDED

The Prina fire Sunday night dem
onstrated the great necessity Of
having more hose for the fire de-
partment. At least 1000 feet more
of hose should be secured at once.
There is no telling where the next
fire will be, what part Of town and
how near to fire plug, and If, as
it may happen at any time, that a
fire occurs just outside the fire
limits, home can be saved if there
is hose enough to reach it. The fire
department should have at least
5000 feet of fire hose.

SAFETY FIRST

The Southern Pacific Company has
closed the fiscal year ending June
30, 1914, without a single passenger
having been killed in a train acci-
dent on its lines. The import of
such record may be gained from
these facts:
During that period the company
carried 100000 passengers.
1t operated 10000 miles of track
Pacific System).
1t ran $1,000 passenger trains
every month or $4,000 during the
year.
1t carried 3,700 passengers per
mile of track operated.
In 1913 the Southern Pacific in
competition with all other roads,
was awarded the Hartman Memorial
medal for being the safest American
railroad. Since 1908 it has carried
over eight billion passengers a dis
tance of one mile, with but one
fatality in train accident. The
latter occurred early in 1904 at lone
and was caused by defective equip
ment on a foreign line car. A chart
prepared in the office of chairman
of the executive committee, julius
Kruttschnitt, shows the progress be-
ing made by the company in mini

GRAVES
Search for Mythical Treasure
at Tumacacori Mission
Is Condemned

w. +. Barnes, travelling freight
and passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific Company calls attention to
recent report from Los Angeles Of
the organization of an other eXpedi-
ton, headed by one J. A. de la
Cuesta, we'll financed to carry on eX-
plorations for the lost treasure of
the ancient mission Of San Jose de
TumacacOri, near Tubac.
Mr.. Barnes, who has tried to in
terest the country in the preserva-
tiono thisimpressive andpicturesque
ruin, states that the ancient monu-
ment has been defaced and weakened
by those seeking to locate the
mythical treasure, and that rigorous
means should be adopted to prevent
this work Of destruction. Various
parties, during the last half century,
have made dilligent search for the
treasure. Holes, pits and tunnels
have been dug, graves opened, and
their moldering occupants dragged
to the light of day.
The mission was established by
the famous Father Euseblo Fran
cisco Kino, between the years 1878
and 1890 The tradition of the
treasure, supposed to run up into
the millions, is said to date back to
the expulsion of the Jesuits in the
summer of 1867, who had discovered
very rich mine in the Tumacacori
mountains in close proximity to the
mission; that, being unable to trans.
port hegreat treasure, the accumula
ton of fifty years of smelling, they
concealed it, also filing the mouth
of the mine. The tradition is old,
and persistent confirmation Gf idle
tales can be called such) comes both
from Spain and Mexico. Close to
the mission is found the debris of
extensive smelling operations, but
where the ore came from, no one at
this late day is able to decide.
Ever since the abandonment Of
the mission, following the expulsion
of the religious orders by Mexico in
the winter of 1927, treasure hunters
have visited the ruin sing y and in
parties, and it is a matter of regret
that these searchers for a mythical
treasure should have been permitted
to contribute to the destruction of
the beautiful old mission.
1t is related by a we'll known
resident of Tucson, that he Was pre-.
sent one night, many years ago, at
the proclamation of the graves Of
Fathers Balaza Garlic and Nariciso
Guiterres, whose bodies were in
tered in the sanctuary Of the church
on the gospel side. The informant
said that the features of the priests
were well preserved, and their bodies
were cad in the dress Of the Fran
ciscan order. 1t was hoped that the
Si dNSo VI IiIc I"O ptISoIo SOlIIdlnSu
the secret Of the hidden treasure.
Father Baltazar Garlic was superior
of the mission of San Xavier del Bac
from May %, 1850 to 1884. He
was succeeded by Father Narcisco
Guiterres, who served until 1899.
The mission of San Jose de Tuna
cacGri is on government reservation
but no effort has been made to re-
store or protect the ruin. During
the last session of the Arizona Iegis-
lature, it was proposed to memorable
congress to appropriate $1,000 for
the restoration of the old mission.
1t is matter that should not be
permitted to rest.

WOODROW WILSON
Will Be the Democratic Nomi-
nee for the Presidency in
1916, Says Ashurst

Senator Henry +. Ashurst, has,
since March |, made a Ia ,000-mile
tour of the United States as political
field lieutenant and confidential in
formant of President Wilson. He
landed in Detroit several days ago
for a tWo-weeks' canvass of the
state of Michigan, and the assur-
ance he is handing out at every
point in his travels is that Woodrow
Wilson will be the democratic nomi-
nee for the presidency in 1916.
The position of the United States,
due to the European war and the
troubles in Mexico, has made the
president the logical party leader" "
says the Arizona senator. Senator
AShurst on his tour has talked with
every class of American citizenship,
and after carefully weighing the ex-
pressions of sentiment he has en-
countered, he declares that Presi-
dent Wilson is 100000 votes
stronger than his party. He says
if there was presidential election
held today President Wilson would
carry New York easily, and come
nearer sweeping the state of Michi-
gan than any other living democrat.
Woodrow Wilson will run for
president" he said, because he viii
have no other choice. | measure
my words when | say that he will be
reelected president without any
trouble. The people will have no
other leader. 1t was fortunate for
both Woodrow Wilson and for the
United States that he became presi-
dent at such time, fortunate for
| him because the times made him
the one great outstanding figure in
civilization today, and fortunate for
the United States because he is the
one calm, resourceful leader, whose
peculiar abilities enabled him to steer
the country safely through the in
ternational difficulties that have be-
set it.
From the standpoint Of the great
mass of the people there is but one
question and that relates to the war
in Europe. The people know they
have the one man to lead them
safely through. Woodrow Wilson
is that man.
Republican congressman are in a
bad way. They denounce Wilson
openly for the sake of their constitu-
encies, and they praise him private
Iy, because there is no other thing
for them to do.
The Republicans have but one
forIorn hope. Some of them affect
to believe and many of them do
sincerely believe that there is one
more president wrapped up in the
tariff question. They will find their
mistake a sad one. The tariff ques
tion is entirely submerged in the
great issues the war in Europe has
brought to the foreground. The
solution of the tariff question lies in
a tariff commission, and this idea
has many converts We have come
to see the error in wasting the public
wealth by giving over this question
to weeks and weeks Of congressional
debate.
Neither will the currency ques-
ton detract greatly from the great
issues involved. Many republicans,
notably Senator Weeks, voted for
the currency bill "
