PRESCOTT MECCA
Of ALL ARIZONA

] PRESCOTT, Ariz,, June 22.-With
bands playing, banners waving, horses
bucking, Prescott during the 1915
Frontier Days, June 4-5-6-7, 1915, will
J be the Mecca of hundreds of Arizonans
and summer tourists. Already, every
plan is perfected looking to the proper
entertainment and comfort of each and
>every guest who will be in the Mile
High City. Several of the leading hotels
have been remodeled and put in first
| class shape during the past few months
and this assures ample accommoda-
I~tions for those making reservations
early.
The gala Frontier Days outfits will
be in evidence everywhere and today,
Prescott is again resuming the, cos
tunes Of the days Of 40. Cowboys
continue to drift in from every secticSg
of the globe and all are confident of
victory in the greatest of all contests
that of the worlds Championship
Broncho Busting Contest. No worse
bunch of outlaws could be found, than
those now at the Frontier Days grounds
anxiously waiting the opening of the
big celebration. The ranges of Ari-
zona, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming
have been secured for the widest of
the wild, including big bunch of
long horned Mexican steers, to be used
in the steer roping and steer bull
dogging contests. Many high wagers
are being made to the possibility Of
Johnny Fredericks, the champion Of
1915, being able to retain the medal
this year, as he must do, if he is to be
proclaimed the Worlds Champion.
Excursion trains will be run from
all points commencing on the 1st of
July and besides these many specials
will operate. Hundreds of auto tour
lists have already booked accommoda-
tions and large tract Of land in West
Prescott is being reserved for all auto
tourists. With six big conventions and
three special excursions, Prescott will
have the largest crowd ever gathered
in her gates. Over $15,000.00 will be
spent by her citizens in carrying out
| this celebration and no expense will be
spared in making this celebration the
| best ever pulled off in the Mile High
City.

SUITS FILED
PHOSPHORUS USED
TO KILL COCKROACH

Several remedies have proven sue
cessful in combating cockroaches.
Fumigation is successful when the
pests are in a building or room which
however it is not necessary to go to
the trouble and expense of fumigating.
Cockroaches are fond Of materials
containing phosphorus although they
are very wary of ordinary poisoned
BATS Advantage is taken Of this
fondness for PHOSPHORUS in the use
Of so-called phosphorus cockroach
paste" Practically all drugstores
have some brand Of PHOSPHORUS paste
for sale. This material is spread on
pieces Of paper or cardboard which are
placed in locations frequently by the
reaches.
Another method Of destroying cock
reaches, which originated in Australia,
consists in mixing one part of plaster
of Paris with three or four parts of
flour. This is placed in small dish
with another small dish nearby con-
tanning water A piece of cardboard
is placed between the two dishes so
that it is convenient for the cock
reaches to eat the flour mixture and
pass to the dish containing the water,
from which they drink with result
that the plaster Of Paris is set in the
inset's stomach and intestines.
Another remedy consists in the use
of powdered borax. This should be
used freely, sprlnkling it in cracks
wherever there is opportunity for the
cockroaches to hide. The pests seem
to object to borax and when it is
literally used it is said that they
soon disappear.-A. w. Morrill,

| wish you would extend through
the Copper Camp" my thanks in be-
half of the officers and men of Com
pany H; to the ladies Of Ray, VINO
have made sacrifices on their valu-
able time, in making sewing kits for
the men of the company.
1t is very gratifying at this time
to know that the ladies are deeply
interested in the comforts of the
boys. The sewing kits were received
with keen appreciation by every man
in the company.
In every crisis that our country
has passed through the women have
played an important part, and have
borne more than their share of the
sorrows in ministering to the sick
and wounded.
My. thanks are due also, in behalf
of my men, to Mr.. L. S. Gates and
Mr.. w. S. Boyd of the Ray Consolt-
dated Copper Co.. also to Mr.. Adams,
of the Ray Hercules Co., for the way
they are aiding the men to mainta>a
their wives, mothers and sisters, while
on duty on the border.
The men of Company H appreciate
the patriotic spirit that actuates the
people Of Ray. and should the COM
pany be called upon to perform any
duty, other than it's present peaceful
attitude, 1 am sure the people Of Ray
will be glad to have had a part in
such demonstration.
Very truly yours,
CAPT. P. G. CARNEY.
