FLORENCE WANTS
BETTER SERVICE
ON AR|z. EASTERN

Better train service between Phoenix
and Pinal county points is the object
of campaign inaugurated by the
Florence chamber of commerce, which
has appointed M. o. Benscoe and J. d.
Bennett committee to confer with
officials Of the Arizona Eastern rela-
tive to change in the existing one
train day arrangement
Under the existing schedule it is
pointed out, Florence and Ray people
who go to Phoenix to transact bust
ness are obliged to spend two nights
in the capital unless their business is
of such nature that it can be trans
acted after five o'clock in the after
noon or before eight o'clock in the
morning. The Florence chamber of
commerce proposes that the passenger
train start from Christmas in the
morning, returning from Phoenix in
the evening, thus permitting people
from Ray and Hayden and Florence to
make the round trip to Phoenix and
return in one day. Ray people, who
are equally interested in better serv-
ice to and from the outside world, will
await the result of the committee with
no small amount of interest.
1t seems doubtful if the arrange
ment suggested, which would do away
with a morning train out of Phoenix
is advisable, in view of the fact that
all eastern mail would be delayed
twelve hours at Phoenix, and in case
of an evening train would not reach
the post offices along the line until
night. Many people, if not all residents
served by the line, would under such
an arrangement get their mail just
one day later than at present. A train
of some sort, if only gasoline car
leaving Christmas early in the morn
ing and getting to Phoenix before
noon, returning in the evening would
be of great convenience, and certainly
looks as though it would pay divi-
dends.

WAR MADE BUSINESS FOR
SHIPBUILDERS

At the beginning of the war in Eu-
rope the total ship tonnage of all ma
tions was little in excess of that neces-
sary to handle international commerce.
The world was then building ships Of
about 100000 tons total capacity an
nually. It is estimated that the ships
destroyed thus far during the war had
capacity of about 100000 tons. In
the meantime, construction has been
halted. In view of these facts, it is
quite certain that at the close of the
war there will be great impetus in the
ship building industry, not only in this
country, but throughout the world

JEROME VERDE
MAY BE DRILLED.

JEROME, Ariz., Dec. 1.-The Jerome
Verde may be prospected by means of
a diamond drill from the 14OO-foot level
of the United Verde Extension.
That this plan is being considered
by the Jerome Verde directors has
been known for some time, but ac-
cording to Superintendent ]. B. Harper
no final decision has been reached.
Secretary I. Mabbett Sutton has been
over from Los Angeles twice Of late to
confer with the superintendent.
It is understood that the company
has machine in view and that drill
ing will be under way within a very
few days after decision / sreached.
It will be set somewhere on the 1400-
foot level and holes run off eastward
into the Jerome Verde. This method,
it is believed, will disclose in very
short time whether the J. v. has ore.

PHOENIX, Ariz, Dec. 1.-Only three
Of the twelve measures passed upon by
the people Of Arizona at the last cleo
ton have been adopted, according to
practically complete official returns
from all fourteen counties The meas
ures adopted are "bone dry" prohibit
ton, which becomes effective as soon
as the governors proclamation is is
sued; the measure abolishing the death
penalty, and the new amendments to
the game law The latter two meas
ures were adopted by approximately
500 votes each, while prohibition, which
carried two years ago by a bare 5000
votes was made far more strict by a
sweeping majority of over 11,OOO
The measure providing for local op-
ton was defeated by 16.500 votes the
majority against it being one and one
half times the majority in favor of
prohibition. The three labor measures,
abolishing the state senate, creating
department of labor and establishing
the office Of state architect were de-
feated by majorities Of 5000, $500 and

brought down two coyotes with one
shot from a 30-30 rifle is the feat per-
formed by Erwin Foote Of Manuelito,
N. NJ who arrived here this week from
the north by automobile. With him

that he had killed with one shot while
the animals were standing within fif-
teen feet Of each other. The bullet

A HARD CHASE

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. AFTER
day and night chase lasting for several
days, and that extended from Camp
Verde to Holbrook, Yavapai county Of
ficers have returned here with Fred
Turner. charged with stealing an auto
mobile and two horses, and having shot
three other horses at Mayer last
Wednesday. Turner, it is claimed, stole
an automobile from Granville Fain at
Clarkdale, and after driving it to
Dewey, abandoned the machine and
stole a horse. In a wild ride through
Mayer, Turner is alleged to have shot
three horses. and when his mount
dropped from exhaustion he took an
other horse and continued his journey.
Deputy sheriffs took up Turner's trail.
and succeeded in capturing him at
Holbrook, after he had become too ex-
hausted to ride farther. He is being
held for trial in the superior court.

the property. and work is being pushed
night and day. A vein "a feet wide,

KIRKLAND, Ariz., Dec. Fifty

owner of large goat ranch here. A

posed workman's compensation act ap-

the same majority, while the meas

ing has been defeated by 2,O33 votes
1t seems probable that the amendment
providing that initiated and referred
measures must receive a majority of
all the votes cast to become a law has
been defeated by a small majority, al
though this will not be known finally
until all the returns have been received
from Cochise and other counties. Even
the measure raising the exemptions of
widows from taxation from $1,000 to
$4,000 was defeated by Arizona's elec-
torate, although no fight whatever was
made on the bill. Under the old system
OF valuation, a widow was allowed an
exemption of $1,000 on all property as
sessed for taxation, and property was
assessed at about fifty cents on the
dollar. Now that property is assessed
at 100 cents on the dollar, ehe legis-
lature proposed to raise the exemption
in proportion. But the people, many
OF whom did not understand what the
law meant, defeated 1t on election day.

Of this country toward the government,
it is interesting to know that Canada,
during the period in which she is par

is graphing with this same problem.
Alien immigrants who have not taken
upon themselves the obligations Of
Canadian citizenship are living in
Canada without any possibility Of be-
ing called upon to serve in the army,
but are reaping the profits of war con-

there is much agitation in favor of some

subject, the "Mail and Empire" of
Toronto, says:
Aliens free to make fortunes here, and

of Britain and the descendants of the
hardy pioneers who made this a comfortable

KEEPING CARS BUSY

It ought not be difficult to lessen the
car-shortage trouble, at least to the ex-
tent that the shortage is due to the use
of cars for storage at terminals. A
good, stiff demurrage charge, which will
compel the car user to pay a liberal
rent for the use Of the car while wait
ing to be emptied will induce him to set
it free as quickly as possible. A car
can be just as idle when it is full as
when it is empty. The moving car is
the only busy car.
