PLAYGROUND IN THE
 WHITE MOUNTAINS

SPRINGERVILLE. Ariz.. Aug. T. Forest officers here have completed the survey of a number of summer home sites in Lee Valley near Greer, Arizona. which they claim offer ex- ceptional opportunities for city folks in search of rest and recreation. The lots overlook a beautiful mountain valley and are within easy distance of the town of Greer, where postoffice facilities and farm products are ob- tainable. The little Colorado river. an excellent trout stream. is close by. An extraordinary feature of the location is that nine consecutive lots are each served by nice separate springs, so situated that water can be easily piped into each cottage at a negligible ex pense. In spite of the distance fror railway transportation. it is believed here that these lots will attract people in search of a good location for a summer home. The old Trails trans continental highway is only a few miles distant
 Local forest officials state that these lots are now available under long term leases. and that applicants will be served in the order of application. The annual rentals are said to be nominal. Additional lots vii lbe laid out on application anywhere in the White Mountain region.

BACK IN ARIZONA
 AFTER MANY YEARS
the arm.

DOUGLAS, Aug. SC. C. Moran. for many years a resident of Cochise and Pinal counties. but more recently a citizen of New York. was one of the visitors in Douglas last evening on his way to Phoenix for a stay of several weeks with friends and relatives.
 During the early days of Tombstone Mir. Moran was numbered among the large mine operators of that district, having had charge of the workings of the Toughnut Mining X Milling com. pany's properties, besides operating the Sailor" mine in that district on his own account. Mir. Moran came to Tornbstone in 1878. shortly after it's discovery by Ed. Schienelin, and re- sided in the old camp for fifteen years. whe nhe left for the new gold fields of Pinal county. where he re- sided for about ten years, selling out his interests and moving to New York with his wife and son.
 This is Mir. Moran's first visit to Arizona since his departure for the eastern metropolis, and was very much surprised at the large city known as Douglas, which had sprung up upon the desert, where in days gene by the cowpuncher held full sway.
 You folks certainly have some town here." he remarked, and yet, after all is said and done. it takes the Arizonans to strike out where angels do not dare to tread and accomplish results which will stand as monu- ments to our future posterity."
 Mir. Moran will visit various Arizona cities before returning to his home in the east and expects to be n the state until about the first of January. next year.

ARIZONA PLANS A
 ROAD CAMPAIGN

PHOENIX, Aug. :. - "Wednesday August 9. has been specified by Gov Hunt as good roads day" and recom- mendation has been made that the week be given over to the advance ment of the cause of good highways, particularly with reference to trans continental routes and their connec- tions
 Roosevelt Route impossible
 Phoenix is junction point for two transcontinental highways, the Bor- derland. through Fl Paso and Tucscn, and for one through Roosevelt, Globe and Springerville that has been very popular heretofore in all seasons but mid-winter. This latter route is now impossible, the overland traffic di- decting by way of Flagstaff and not entering southern Arizona at all.
 To Use Federal Funds
 It is proposed to use federal funds. that soon will be available, first for reconstruction of this highway, which it at it's worst through the White Mountain Indian reservation. Several bridges will have to be built.

THE SEASONS BEST JOKE
 (El PasO Herald)

The seasons best joke is that it takes SO-page booklet instruct the voters of Arizona how mark their ballots in the coming election Publication of 10O GOO of the booklets will cost the taxpayers of the $11O0. Mailing them will cost 5000 for stamps and $1.OOO for envelopes and clerk hire.
 The voters will glance at the booklets and throw them away and when election day wade through the four foot ballot of candidates and initiated best they may.
 That is. the average voter will do He will mark a cross here and there and hope for the best.
 The ignorant voters will have far simpler time of it. He will merely take into the voting booth sample bal lot; carefully marked for him by politician who knows his business He will then lay the sample beside his ballot, and where he the sample. he will mark corresponding his That has been frequently about Arizona polls since statehood brought lot of sOcaled popular legislation into being.
 The joke of the thing though when the afore- said ignorant voter fails to get his sample and real ballot matched up properly and consequently exactly trary to his instructions
 It would be far better for Arizona to eliminate this haphazard popular legislation and bestow pains, in stead, eectng legislature of serious and capable men, entrusting them with the lawmaking.
