OLD COURT HOUSE WAS
 IMMUNE FROM DANGER
(From Fridays Daily.)

An interested spectator as the old court house is being razed to the ground, is Edwin A. Purcell of Cleve- land, Ohio, a retired architect and builder, who is visiting the city for a few weeks, while making a trip of sightseeing through the Southwest.
 He stated on Tuesday that the SUI perstructure of the building attracted his earnest attention showing a con scientious performance of work to i1- sure safety, in the heavy truss con struction, and its stability in being securely bolted. "The material used in 1870 is as good today as when Il was first laid, and the ioist system of interlapping. made this building abso- lutely safe from collapsing unless thc extraordinary prevailed" he said.
 Mir. Purcell commended early day contractors and builders, in their conscientious performance of public trust as is so realistically reflected in construction of this public building.
 He said further: T have been in formed this court house was in I shaky condition, was liable to tumble over and kill people; just see what is going on now. they can hardly topplc it over with dynamite, except il small sections; the men who put it up knew their business"

Must Bide a Wee.

PHOENIX, March 1O.- Because there has never been any legislation making effective the constitutional amendment providing that the State of Arizona may indulge in industrial pursuits, the board of control will not be able to establish a State printing plant. A petition asking the State to establish State printing plant, to print school books and supplies was presented to the board by the Indus trial Union of Miami, an organization affiliated with the State Federation Of Labor. The board has informed the organization that it will be unable to comply with the petition, which was grounded on the belief that all school books will be changed after the pres ent European war.

Many Hear the Call.

PHOENIX, March lO.-Now that the delegates to the Democratic na- tional convention have teen selected and the candidates for governor and secretary of State are in the field. i1- terest is turning to the nominations for the vacancies on the corporation and tax commissions. w. Paul Geary who served as chairman of the cor poration commission for two years has formed law partnership at Oat- man, and says he will not be ca1di- date for the nomination. There will be plenty of competition, however. for the place. P J. Miller. former tax commissioner, and Sam Proctor, member of the second State legis1a- ture from Navajo county have both shied their hats into the ring. A. A. Betts, rate expert for the commission is also planning to go after the nom ination.
 Owen G. Murphy, county recorder of Cochise county is mentioned here as the most likely man to contest for  the nomination with Chas. R. Howe, chairman of the tax commission whose term expires this year. Mur- phy ran far ahead of his ticket at the last election, and his friends point out that he is one of the strongest Demo crats in the southern part of the State. Howe, who was appointed to the commission by Governor Hunt in 1912, has already announced that he will be a candidate to succeed him self.
 K. A. Fleming, city clerk of Flag staff. is being mentioned as another possibility for the tax commission vacancy. Fleming has just about de cided to run for some State office, preferably one of the commissions. but has not made up his mind dehn- itely which job he would prefer.
 Pima county Democrats, who have long complained because they are no, represented on the State house pay roll are said to be considering bring ing out candidate for tax commis' sioner from that county.

one word, "Verdun" All night. too, the
rumble of the passing transport filled the
air and the little hotel shook with the jar
of the heavy trucks. for neither by day

is never low.

We took the road again, with thirty mile

mediately we turned into the Verdun route
we met again the caravan of automobiles,
Of camions, as the French say. 1t still
flowed on without break. Now, too, we
entered the main road. the one road TO

the French army against just such an at
tack as was now in progress. The road
was as wide as Fifth Avenue. as smooth
as asphat-a road that. when peace comes,

Despite the traffic it had TO bear, it was
in perfect repair. and soldiers in uniform
sat by the side breaking stone and pre-
pairing metal TO keep it so.
The character of the country had now
changed. We were entering the region Of
the hills, between the Aisne and the Meuse,
country reminiscent of New England.
Those hills are the barrier which beyond
the Meuse, under the names of the Cote
de Meuse have been the scene Of so much
desperate fighting. The roads that sided
off 10 the east bore battle names, st.
Mihie, Troyon, and the road that we fol-
lowed was still marked at every turn with
the magic word "Verdun.' Our immediate
objective was Souilly. the obscure hill town
twenty miles. perhaps, south of the front,
from which Sarrail had defended Verdun
in the Marine days and from which Petan
was now defending Verdun against still
more terrible attack.
