STREETS ARE BEING
PUT IN CONDITION
$3.50 All Department Allowed For the
Work.
$4,000 Was Amount of Former Appropriation Placed On
Streets and Roads,

valiant with the Interior Department
as we'll as Congressman Lenroot, is
that the Indian will not cultivate his
land, under no condition. This idea we
wish to challenge for the fact that
where good roads are to be found on
this reservation, just there are located
the best farms to be found in this
district and in many instances the
Indian farmer has built roads, out of
his funds in order that he might cul-
tivate it, which in itself shows lack of
interest by the Department in not
providing roads instead of causing the
Indian to use his money to build it,
but then, it is just so much money
that will not be gotten thro fines by
the Justice Monopoly Of this great
western district.
Millions of dollars are yearly ap-
propriated for the irrigation of west
ern districts, not that they are needed,
but the appropriation aids in strength
ening political fences. Just so in Len
roots case; he sees that appropria-
tions are made for his home town and
throws cold water on an appropriation
that will be of great aid in opening
up large area of uncultiyated lands
and thas be of benefit to large dis
crict here.
Roads are what is needed and roads
are what we are going to get no mat
;er what the cost. Cut the million dol
Lar liquor suppression appropriation
bill and put few dollars that are
wasted there, to good use, by placing
it to good roads appropriation on
reservations, and for just once use
good judgment in aiding the indian to
a better life by aiding him to open his
land which cannot be done by spend
ing thousands of dollars yearly, like
water, to send him to jail and get
educated in crime, not in farming and
swell the dividends of the Jail mon
opoly. We must and will be recognized
in our demand for roads even of we
must fight the liquor suppression bill
at the next session of congress and in
so doing aid the Indian and not the
white man that at present are living
off the fat of the land, under the
guise of aiding Mr.. Indian but if the
curtain were raised, would show it is
to his everlasting detriment. Now, Mr..
Indian Department., are we to have
an appropriation for good roads or
is it to be war of determination for
a just cause?

Canning Club Cans
40 Cans OF Beans.

The Dresden canning club met
Friday at the home of Mrs. H. B.
Jones, with Mrs. Ellis superintend-
ing, canning 1903 cans beans and
two Of beets.
Assisting the young ladies were
Mrs. H. B. Jones, Mrs. W. T.
Mangum, Mrs. ]. L. Holbrook and
Miss Ida Baxter, something
likeSSsevent-fve gallons Of beans
being canned, making 1O9 two
pound cans. The young ladies
doing the work were Misses
Francis Mitchell, Alma and Pauline
Tucker, Lula Anderson, Louise
Holbrook and Marguerite Jones.
The young ladies brought dinner
and spent most of the day learning
the art Of canning, which includes
not only the cooking Of the pro-
ducts, but sealing the cans, proper
packing, weighing, sterlizing
cans, tops, etc. Mrs. Ellis gave
lectures throughout the day, and
the girls gained much valuable
information that will be helpful to
them in the years that are to come.
Special work was done for show
purposes, being canned in glass
jars for exhibition at the fairs and
at the canning club show to be
held in Dresden this fall.
The girls are enthusiastic and,
with the aid of their very able and
energetic instructor, will be able
to show some mighty fine products
at the fair this fall.
At this time, some Of the young
ladies contracted for the sale of
canned beans, to be delivered later
on. Quite a number Of visitors
called during the day to witness
the work, and were charmed with
the methods used. Three approved
Gamers we're used, this being the
first time many of those present
had ever seen a Gamer in use.

Shower Day For
The Enterprise.

Last Saturday was shower"
day at the Enterprise office, a
number Of our good friends, ap-
preciating our need Of something
to eat. coming in with vegetables
Of exceptionally fine varieties.
Early in the day, Deputy
Sheriff Ned Hatcher, OF Green
field, came in with a basket Of
the finest tomatoes we ever saw,
which he said was for the editor
and his family. We understand
these tomatoes grew in Mrs
Hatcher's patch. Later on that
noble old patriot, staunch demo
crat and lifelong Odd Fellow,
Uncle Jim BOYD, who has made
many a poor mortal stand trem-
bling unpresumptuous, brought
us a mess OF nice roasting ears,
the first, by the way, we had
eaten this season. These were
grown by Uncle Jim himself, who
is past eighty years of age.
In the afternoon, our esteemed
young friend, Mr.. Oscar McClain,
left a sack Of extraordinary fine
Irish potatoes -the finest, we be-
lieve, we ever saw, grown by
himself.
All these favors are hugely
appreciated by the editor, not
alone because of the articles them
selves, but the kindly spirit that
prompts the act, and we thank
each Of you, gentlemen, from the
very depths Of our heart.

DAMAGE IN PATH
Of STORM HEAVY.
Communication With Many Coast Cities Cut

st Loss More Than 100000.

Selma, Ala, July 6.-Seventeen
negroes we're killed by tornado
this afternoon, north OF Belolt,
twelve miles from here, according
to information received here to-
night. Eight persons were injured
and a number OF houses were
blown down near Beloit. All wires
are down and direct communication
with that vicinity is impossible.
This city tonight was visited by a
vivid lightning storm, but no
damage has thus far been reported.
New Orleans, La, July 6.-Re-
ports Of great damage to property
and growing crops due to the
tropical storm that swept in from
the Gulf of Mexico over parts OF
louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and
Alabama yesterday and last night
began to arrive early tonight, as
communication with the affected
sections was restored. In none OF
the advices from the wide area
struck by the storm was there any
loss Of life, and the hope grew
that there were no fatalities.
No direct messages had been
received up to an early hour to-
night from Mobile and Pensacola,
which, according to the weather
bureau officials, were in the center
Of the storm, which reached hur-
icane proportions at those points.
Shortly afternoon a wireless
message from the coast guard
cutter Tallapoosa, in Mobile har-
Dor, was received here, stating
that the wireless towers at Mobile
had been blown down and that
the cutter was preparing to send
a boat ashore to ascertain con-
,ditions in the city,
There was no indication Of
damage and no further commune
cation was had with the TallaoOsa
early tonight, although, the wire
less stations here repeatedly en-
deayored to reach her. Advice'
from Milton, Fla, about twenty
miles from Pensacola, late today
stated there we're reports Q
heavy damage to the water iron
at that port, which was still cut Of
from outside communication.
Virtually all the cities and town
along the Mississippi coast in tn
path Of the storm were heard iron
tonight after being cut off iron
communication since yesterday
The damage in these cities wa
reported not SO great as had beef
feared, Judging from the severit,
OF the storm.

which left here Wednesday nigh
returned tonight from Oceal
Springs and Biloxi, Miss, ant
reported the damage at thoS
points was not heavy. Severa

ELECTION QUESTION
PULLING OFFICIALS
AttOTneyGeReraI Frank M. Thompson Asked
For Opinion. But One Set Of Of
fCerS IN DekaIb.

Nashville, Tenn, July 1O.-The
question uppermost in the minds
Of many officials Of the state is
whether the election in regard to a
constitutional convention is to be
held by officials named to conduct
the general election on Thursday,
August 8, or by a separate set OF
officers.
In other words, there is a differ
ence as to how the wishes OF the
people Of the state are to be ascer-
tanned in regard to constitutional
convention.
Under the act passed by the last
general assembly, it was directed
that an election be held on the first
Thursday in August, but no pro-
vision was made that the submits
sion should be at the general elec-
ton. Some incline to the belief
that it was not necessary for the
act to state expressly that it was
to be held at the same time as the
general election, and also the fact
that the act contained the date OF
the general election as provided by
the constitution of the state shows
that it was the purpose to hold the
constitutional convention election
Jointly with the general election.
Others are equally positive that
there must be two sets of officers
and two separate elections, and
that these elections have no rela-
ton to each other.
In the county Of DeKalb the
election commissioners evidently
held that the constitutional con-
vention and general elections
should be held together, as only
one set of officers has been named
for the voting places and the no.
tice Of the election states that coun.
ty officers and the question of g
convention are to be voted for.
tits found that election commits
sioners of Cheatham county taxi
an opposite view Of the question
In Cheatham county the election
commissioners have appointed tw'
separate sets Of officers for Aug, 8
one to hold the election of count,
officers and the other to hold al
election on the convention ques
ton.

Americans Last Rank Savers

The American people rank last in thriftness according to J. Lionberger Davis, vice-president of the St. Louis Union Trust Company, who addressed the convention of National Life Un- derwriters here.
 'It is significant" he said, "that in the United States where wages are notoriously high, only 39 people out of each 1000 have savings accounts, whereas in Australia there are 300; in England 302; in Germany 317; in France 346; in Belgium 397 and in Switzerland 554.
 "It is also significant that in Ger many, France, England and Japan, the number of depositors are greater than in the United States"

Summary of Weather and Crop

Conditions in Arizona for the week ending Tuesday, September 26, 1916. The cool, dry weather of the past week has been favorable for the gath ering of crops, for the seeding of wheat and other winter grains, and for the curing of range grass. In the mountain and plateau districts the vegetation is being slowly killed by light frosts. In the northern and eastern portions of the state practi- cally all crops are out of danger from frost. Ranges and cattle are in excellent condition.

A collector of subscriptions for the brass band fund once came across a farmer who was noted for his mean ness. To his surprise the farmer at once, consented to subscribe fully as large a sum as any he had yet re- ceived.
 "Mr. Hardfist," he said, addressing the farmer, "you are surely very fond of music to give so much"
