A POPULAR CHORD, INDEED

The Board of Supervisors of Cochise County struck a popular chord with the taxpayers of this big county wh'n they announced they would establish camp of boOteggers who recently confined to the county Ja for violating the prohibition law for the purpose of structing a road from the Bisbee Extension into Tombstone, conneceing up with the excellent roadway through Tombstone Canyon, completed with convict la bor by the state AS it s the existing road from the Extension into Tombstone next to impossible but anyone who has the least idea of roads, knows that Is not the fault of the county. Considerable money and la bor has been expended this particular piece of high way keep it in repair but all to avail because of the character of earth through which it lies.
 First it is next to impossible to drain the road prep ery and second whenever it rains the land through the Government Draw being composed of sort of ''gumbo adobe earth becomes boggy has bottom and travel through it is difficult
 The supervisors know this condition and have started the work of remedying.
 As planned out by the supervisors and County Engi Ryan, the work will be permanent. and the road will be built similar to that through Tombstone Canyon with proper drainage The proposed route will leave the Bis bee Extension to the left of the present hadway follow ing the foothills the entire distance into the county seat and entering the city in the vicinity of the Emerald
 Of course the work will take tme and money, and the time will give the bootleggers who anxious to get the job chance work their me benefit ting both themselves and the county, and ultimaey greater extent-the taxpayers.

BOY FINDS DEAD
BODY OF MEXICAN

BODY OF MEXICAN WILCOX, Oct 1-The dead body of a Mexican was found in a clump of mesquite trees north of the R. w. Sprinkle ranch Monday by q small Mexican lad who was out hunting rab- bits. He notified Constable Moore. who made an investigation, but could ascertain no facts that would throw any light on the mystery.
 When found the body was badly decomposed and it was the opinion of Dr. Wilson that the man had been dead at least ten days.
 No marks were descernable on the body that would lead to a suspicion that the man had met foul play. A seach of his clothes revealed nothing that would identify him. He was about 2s years of age. The body was buried where found.

THE TUNGSTEN SITUATION

There is prospect of another famine in tungsten says the Boulder County, Colo, Miner. If there is shortage of the supply it will be due entirely to the mani puatons of the spectators and big steel manufacturers who when they got little surplus of the mineral began to beat down the price to figure low discourage mining Together with the depression of prices, the buyers showed reluctance to take the metal which fur ther discouraged the industry All this time the of mineral was being depleted and at point where demand is supplied from day to day by the mines It is critical situation and of which there is not If the will establish firm price and open market they maintain it at figure that will be just to the producers and to the aso-a just price. Under such condition of the market the output of tungsten be stimulated to meet the demand, swollen last spring by the extraordinary price which spectators forced Neither producer nor con smer is benefited by the operations of spectators.
 Mainly a result of conditions similar to those planed above believe the decline of tungsten mining in the Johnson district due at the present time Some of the richest and purest tungsten found in United States
 lies in the Johnson mining district has been proven by recent development work the various properties dur ing the tungsten bOOm At the present low price of metal many operators cannot afford to work their prop critics, but all holding out with expectations of in the price in the future. E say the decline in production due to the low price being paid by the spectators bigger things looked for in Johnson the price does come back to normal, to stay.

James a. Patten Wins an m and
Is Now Famous College Athlete

James A. Patten of Evanston,
H., king of the wheat pit, has
joined the ranks of athletes. He
has been awarded an IN" recog-
milton button for meritorious serv-
ice in athletics at Northwestern
university and on chilly days may
wear a sweater on the front of
which flares huge IN"
Patten didn't put the shot,
Jump hurdles or sprint the CEN
fury in 10 seconds. He has not
even appeared in a track suit in
the gym. AS far as is known he
has not set any records in the
tank. But he has been of service
to the athletic department of the
university even If he has not car
ried the pigskin over the line for
a touchdown.
The wheat king gave North
western the largest gym in the
world. He has repeatedly made
donations to the Evanston insti-
tuition. So when 100 buttons
were distributed to athletes of the
university, past and present,
James A. Patten stepped to the
platform just like every other
honor man and took his button.
1t will entitle him to free ad-
mission to any sporting events
held at Northwestern university.

how to treat a team Hurley
said.
Bill Hurley is a good baseball
manager, and his only mistake
this year was in signing up a few
players who were a little too old
to mix with the young blood of
the Northwestern league. He is
not a crab" and he did not at
tack Great Falls. The Town made
big mistake when 1t released
him. 81
Hurley owns $500 worth of
stock In the team, but is not a d.
rector. He intends to try TO force
the directors to give him back his
money, II they won't let him stay
with the club.
1t was reported today that
Hester, a first baseman with the
Salt Lake team, will be the new
manager of the team. Hawortn,
Bennett and Jimmy Clark, who
we're released by Hurley Satur-
day, at their own request, have
been forced by the directors to
remain with the team.

his temperament frequently has
caused him to slump, swinging
frantically at every old pitch.
Right now Heine is seeing in
exceptionally good form as wit
ness his average of 1895 for As
combats.
A veteran OF the Cubs for IL
campaigns, Frank Schultz is bat
ting .345. In 1914 and 1916 he
was supposed to be through,
dropping below $50 each year,
but the Peach Grower is again
packing the old swat and he never
has known a season in his long
career anywhere near the high
mark he has set to date.
Nine seasons of big league mill
ing haven't dulled the lamps of
Tristan Speaker who right now
is going better than he did in his
banner years with the Boston Red
Sox. Not only is the big Texan
rafting fences at Dunn Field,
Cleveland, where for seven years
he averaged 1881, on visits with
the Bostonese, but he Is keeping
up his terrific pace abroad.
Speakers eyes, sharp as they
are at this stage in the pennant
proceedings, are working no bet
ter than are those of Tyrus Cobb
or Joe Jackson. The latest stat
istics credit Ty and Joe with a
deadlock at 1927 for the same
number of games.

Look EN- Over, Kid; Make
EN- Be Good"
Shouts of encouragement such
as these heard daily in every well
regulated ball yard fall unheeded
on the ears of the truly great
Sons of Swat. Just so long as
they can look EN- over you may
rest assured they'll make them be
good. Most of these birds re-
frain from reading during the Off
season, thereby sparing their eyes.
Some eyes are more durable
than others. Larry Larjoie pos
sesses such a pair; 30 does Hans
Wagner, Terry Turner, Iris
Speaker, Jake Daubert, Home
Run Schultz, Larry Doyle, Heine
Zimmerman, Tyrus Cobb, Joe
Jackson and Bill Hinchman.
There's nothing wrong however
with Jake Daubert's glims as a
slant at the latest averages will
indicate. The Brooklyn first
sacker who led the National
league in 1914 is hitting 1855 for
the first quarter of the campaign.
Heine Zimmerman is another
notable example of the batter who
possesses the keen optics. The
eccentric third sacker of the Chi
cago Cubs, when at peace with
the world. is one of the greatest
natural sluggers of all time. His
eyes never have troubled him but

HURLEY DID NOT
Get AFFAIR deal

Great Falls baseball directors
and fans are attempting to excuse
their release of Manager Bill
Hurley to an interview with Hur-
ley published on this page last
week.
In the interview Bill scored
some of the small town sports"
of the Montana city, and said
that they were a bunch OF pikers.
Hurley did not knock the city
of Great Falls, or the fans. He
merely said that there was a
gambling element in the town
which was betting large sums on
each game, and which could not
stand the idea of losing q game
or two.
These small town sports took
II as matter of course when the
team won, but accused the play
ers Of dissipation or worse when
they lost.
TITS good town, but some OF
the fellows haven't seen enough
