outside markets have been accus- toned to getting their supplies from districts farther away but more easily reached.
 Let us again suppose, for point of illustration, that the valley in ques- tion, profiting by the example so successful in other communities, proceeds to build a system of goo1 roads permanently surfaced and of easy grades, these highways to ex- tend throughout the county. and to lead to those districts where the home products of the valley would find a ready market.
 With modern, well-built and reliable motor trucks, loads of one to five tons capacity could be sent over the newly constructed highways at such a rate of speed and low cost of operation as to permit the valley mer- chants to compete with the districts which formerly supplied the outside market. Increased activity would imm ediately take place in the de- velopment of the resources of this home valley and would, as matter of fact, so open the eyes of capital to the opportunities in the valley, and the products therefrom, as to induce that capital to seek investment, thereby stimulating the purchase and sale of land throughout the valley, all of which, in turn, would result in general prosperity and have a gen erally beneficial effect on every busi- ness in the community.
 This illustration of cause and eff feet of a good roads system, as ap- piled to a valley situation, is identi- cal in a general degree to noun tainous region, even though agri- cultural development, due to physical or geographical conditions, may not be possible. The building of good roads in this mountainous region would permit of motor truck compe- tition with railroad freight rates to such degree that a greatly decreas- ed price of living commodities would be the result. This decrease in prices rarely is less than 20 per cent to 25 per cent and is usually suffi- cient in the aggregate to more than pay the interest on the investment required to build the good roads.
 Generally speaking, the construction of a modern highway system has been the means of increased busi- ness to 95 per cent of the business population and because of this directly beneficial effect it will be readily understood why this movement for good roads has spread throughout the entire United States and why every community is rapidly falling into line in it's effort to share in the benefits acctuing therefrom.

NATIONAL FOREST FIRES

Washington, March 27.-Forest fires burned over not quite 100000 acres of National Forest land in 1915, according to official reports just compiled, or at the rate of less than two acres per thousand acres of forest. Out of total of 6,300 fires, 5. per cent did damage to the amount of $100 or more.
 The timber loss was 156,00e,000 board feet, valued at $190,000,000. Although the season was regarded as one Of unusual exposure, owing to delayed fall rains, the loss was ma terially below the average of the last five years. Over S7 per cent of this loss occurred in the States of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, while more than 72 per cent was in Oregon alone. Besides the timber loss, fires destroyed reproduction, or young tree growth, of an estimated value of $160,000, and S3000 worth of forage. The loss per fire in 1915 was s60. 41, which is less than the average. The cost of fighting each fire was also less than the average. r Lightning figures as the chief cause of forest fires in 1915, as it does in the average year. Twenty eight per cent of the fires. were due to this cause. Campers caused IS per cent, which is 3 per cent higher than the averageis Eleven per cent were caused by brush burning. Nearly II per cent were of incendiary origin. Railroads were responsible for nearly g per cent of the fires in 1915, as against IA per cent due to this cause in the average year. The causes of over 15 per cent were un- known. numbering operations caus- ed less than per cent.
 In the National Forests of Arizona and New Mexico, 417 fires occurred, of which S9 per cent were eXtinguiSh- ed before they had burned over ten acres. .-.s~

GOOD ROADS IN ARIZONA AND HOW THEY WOULD MAKE FOR INCREASED BUSINESS
lQssued by Arnold Touring Informa- tion Bureau, O. K. Parker, Highway Engineer, Los Angeles

At the Arizona Good Roads meet ing held at Flagstaff on October 9th, 1915, many important subjects of in- terest to the business men of Ari- Zona were discussed.
 Among the papers of more than or dinary interest were the following: Cooperation Of Counties on a Gen eraI Highway System,' Why State and County Officials Should Encour- age Good Roads," and Importance of County Bond Issues for Good Roads ;"
 Those subjects are of pertinent in terest in the development of in creased business throughout Arizona. Every business house in the State would be favorabty affected in the way of increased business through the building of a permanent system of good roads No other one develop ment could be undertaken that would yield a greater profit than the invest ment required for constructing a state highway system.
 It is understood at the present time that Arizona as a State is not in a position to undertake extensive road building, but that does not interfere nor conflict in any way with the county development of highways.
 In all the history of highway con- struction in the United States there has never been one instance where the construction of good roads was not of direct benefit to the neighbor- hood through which the good roads passed. This beneficial effect has been so pronounced and has become so well known throughout the land that every business community from Canada to Mexico and from the At lantic to the Pacific is anXiously seek ing ways and means by which they can participate in the greater busi- ness due to the construction of good roads.
 Every community, of course, has it's individual problems, both as to road construction and the development of increased business therefrom, but in a general way these problems have certain similarities of such universal effect that in the main they may be said to apply throughout the con- imonwealth. As an illustration, the following effects of better highways in any community will be general: Let us say that community is situated in a broad valley and that this valley has been so secluded, so separated from; other communities by physical or geographical barriers that it's home products have not found their way to outside markets, and that these

cure. The workers welfare is looked after in less usca' ways by new enactments in some States rscu- lating the sanitary conditions n la Dor camps, railway labor camps, an :. the like.
 Laws regulating the giving of clearance cards or statements oc cause of discharge were enacted in three states, California, Indiana, and Oregon. while in two States, Califor- mia and Nevada, the right is given the employee by law to hear and answer charges brought by spot ters" before being discharged on their evidence. Other important laws en- acted during 1915 were the Seamen's Act, which made numerous provis- ions for safety and abolished arrest and imprisonment for desertion; the Alaska and Arizona old-age pension laws, and the California act provid- ing for the appointment of a com, mission to report on the subject of social insurance.

LABOR MEN PUSH.
 PROPOSED BILLS
Arizona Federation to Initiate Two
 Constitutional Amendments.

Phoenix, March 23.-Circulation of petitions for the initiation of two constitutional amendments and two laws originated and backed by the Arizona State Federation of Labor has been commenced here. g-
 One of the amendments abolishes the state senate It leaves the house of representatives with 35 members apportioned as at present.
 The other amendment requires the legislature to enact a workmen's com pulsory compensation law that is abso- lutely compulsory. It does not even give the injured workman the privi- lege of compromising with his em- ployer. The law is to be applicable to workmen engaged in manual or me-, chanical labor in such employments as the legislature may determine to be especially dangerous, by which com pulsory compensation shall be re quired to be paid to any such work man by his employer, if ins the course of such employment personal injury to any such workman from any acci- dent arising out of, and in the course of such employment, is caused in whole or in part, or is contributed to by necessary risk of danger of such employment, or a necessary risk or danger inherent in the nature there of, or by failure of such employer or any of his or it's officers, agents or employe, or employees, to exercise due care to comply with any law af- fecting such employment.
 Provides State Labor Department
 One of the bills to be initiated ere ates a state department of labor, the head of which shall be commissioner of labor at a salary of 5000 year.. The commissioner must have been engaged in trades or industrial pur- suits for at least five years. He shall be appointed by the governor when the law goes into effect, but there after shall be elected at two year in- tervals. He is given a deputy at $500 a year and unlimited travelling expenses.
 The commissioner shall collect and classify all available data relating to industrial endeavor within the state. Whenever a strike or lockout occurs he shall proceed to the scene of the trouble and act as chairman of board of arbitration. The employees involved in the controversy shall ap- point one arbitrator and the employ CTS one.
 Gives Commissioner Authority.
 It is made a misdemeanor, punish able by fine not to exceed $250. % and imprisonment from one to six months, to obstruct the labor com missioner in the discharge of his du- ties. He is given all necessary power to compel the attendance be- fore him of persons whom he wishes l to interrogate, and he may examine witnesses under oath

POLICE GUARD BRIDGES
TO PROTECT WARSH|p
Admiral Usher Fears Bombs
May Wreck Cruiser.

New York, Feb. AT the request
of Rear Admiral Usher, commandant
of the Brooklyn navy yard, special de-
tachments of police were assigned TO
the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges
at the time of the arrival of the
United States armored cruiser Wash
ington. This was done, it was said,
to prevent the dropping of bombs up
on the warship as she steamed up the
East river
The Washington, coming from
Hayti slipped up the East river short
ly before noon and locked at the navy
yard.
Fourteen police of the Sands street
station, Brooklyn, were detailed to
take up vigilant stations on the
bridges, five of them going to the
Manhattan bridge and nine to the
Brooklyn bridge. This force was in
addition to the regular patrolmen on
duty there. It was the first time such
headquarters in Manhattan as was in
this case.
The report Of the reason for AID.
miral Usher's request, however, was
viewed as more than ordinarily signi-
ficant, especially in view of the re-
cent explosion in the submarine E-2
at the navy yard and the unusual
watching of subway entrances by the
New York police.
Captain Benton Decker of the
Washington said that he know moth
ing about the careful watching over
the ship as she came into the yard,
and all officers of the navy yard aided
and abetted in keeping the circum-
stances a mystery.

Is Satisfactory.
STATEMENT EXPECTED SOON
All Prospects Of a Rupture With Ger

at Washington.

at Washington.
Washington, Feb. 7.--Berlin's lat
est memorandum on the Lusitani1
controversy can be made the basis OF
an amicable settlement, according to
information which came from a high
administration source.
Whether the final agreement can
take the exact form of the Berlin
memorandum remains to be deter
mined at the conference which the
president and Secretary Lansing are
expected to hold.
At all events the communication
which Ambassador Bernstorff handed
to the secretary has improved the
outlook. This information coming
from an unquestioned source, CON
firms an impression which has stead
lily grown in the last twenty-four hours
that all prospects of a rupture in the
relations between the two govern.
ments have been removed for the
present
So optimistic are certain officials
that they expect an announcement
from the state department within the
next two or three days which will re-
move all apprehension as to a break.
1t is understood that the president
and Secretary Lansing will have met
and made up their minds definitely be-
fore the cabinet meets on Tuesday
The only point now at issue rests
on the acceptability of the eight words
used by the Berlin foreign office TO
avoid the expression illegal" The
United States wanted Germany TO say
that she would pay indemnity because
the attack on the Lusitania, resulting
in the killing of 115 Americans, was
Illegal. Germany has offered instead
to say that she will pay indemnity be
cause. inasmuch as Americans were
on the vessel, the attack should not
have been made.
In German circles it was said that
but for the interview given out in
Berlin by Secretary of Foreign At
fairs Zimmerman, calling attention to
the refusal of Germany to employ the
word Illegal the American public might
never have noted the omission, so
close does the expression actually
used correspond with Illegal"
Count Won Bernstorff, according to
his friends is more than ever conf
dent that Germany's proposals are
going to be accepted by the United
States. Anticipating that the Ameri-
can government would accept the final
proposals of Berlin in their entirety,
it is said that the ambassador before
going to the state department drew
them up in the shape of a formal
note In this form they are now be-
fore the president. Should he accept
the terms set forth in the communica-
ton, officials say this note could be
published as Germany's reply to the
American note of July 81, the last
formal communication from Washing
ton to Berlin.
If, however, the president insists on
any slight modification, it is probable
that the ambassador will have to
communicate with his government
