MILLION DOLLAR POWER PLANT
 FOR THEVERDE
CONTRACT AWARDED AND WORK BEGINS ON A NEW UNIT FOR THE ARIZ- ONA POWER COMPANY.
rFrom Sunday's Daiiy)

R. s. Mason, chief engineer of the Arizona Power Company, yesterday gave publicity to the important fact that a contract had been awarded to the firm of Charles C. Moore & Co.,, of San Francisco, for construction of an auxiliary electrical plant on the Verde river to cost approximately Sl .0O0,0 900, with a capacity rated at 10000 horse power The machinery will run from l5,000 to 70, ,,000 horse power motors In the operation of this huge plant. steam is to be used. and grading for the foundations start ed yesterday. c. R. Atchison, con struction superintendent of the above contracting firm, arrived in Prescott yesterday, to assume the responsible duty. The intention is to have the new works in action by August next, owing to the heavy demands by min ing companies in various localities in the territory covered by the service of this company. The site of the new power plant is about three miles above Clarkdale on the old Young ranch, the purchase of which, with its water rights was closed short time ago. All lines leading out or the Fossil creek works will be connected up with the new plant, thereby consoli- dating the electrical service and in surfing no further interruptions here after
 This move to outlay a large sum has been contemplated ever since the second unit was installed on Fossil creek, owing to the urgent demands made by consumers In every section of this county, where mining is ad- vancing so rapidly and on a basis in which permanency of operations IS assured.
 There is no better criterion by which mining activity can be meas ured in this field than what is indi- cated by the action of the power com pany in expanding its electrical ser vice and which when placed In con trast with the facilities originally in stalled on Fossil creek, is but mini mum of what is to be accomplished in the future.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 KILLING OF BIRDS
(From Sundays Daily)

The forest supervisors office at Prescott has received from A. Arm brustcr of Groom creek, the follow ing letter of protest against the kill ing of insectivorous birds by so-called hunters:
 Some hunters came out here last Sunday to shoot some squirrels as they said, but l have found out that they shot q lot of woodpeckers too. and l think it IS wrong to shoot them as 1t is a very valuable bird as it lives on insects. The city boys should find some other amusement besides kill ing valuable birds. I think there should be law passed to that ef- feet"
 Attention is called to the fact that Section 25 of the State game law pro- hibits the killing of song birds, while the Federal migratory bird law pro hibits the killing of migratory insec- tivorous birds anywhere within the United States at any time Violations of either of these statutes is punish able by heavy fine.

GENEROUS DEED RE-
 CIPROCATED BY ROBBERY
fFrom Sundays daiIv.)

An arrival yesterday from King man reported one of the most lud- icrous criminal transaction ever known, in which the affair came to a climax at Seligman on Friday after noon, when two hoboes were arrest ed for stealing a 30O-pound dressed pig under unusual circumstances.
 The matter had its origin at Hack berry, where two brakebeam artists approached a butcher and asked for something to eat, offering to pay the bill with any work they could per form. 'All right, boys, you appear to be frank in your demands as well as honest in your purpose" said the good natured owner of the shop. The hoboes were requested to roll up their sleeves and to whet the butcher knife for the first onslaught into the car casses of big beef and fat hog. The job was roughly done, but time was saved in the rush of business, and each receiving a dollak, the roadsters stepped out and with a grateful smile on their lips thanked the owner pro- fusely.
 The eastbound freight was to pass through that night at SIS o'clock. They were familiar, of course, with the interior of the meat market, and returning, entered the place. The porker they had dressed" was still hanging on the peg, and as it was to be a special exhibit for the holiday trade, it was lifted gently and taken to a car of ore, where the first salt ing stunt ever known in which the red metal was favored with a swine alloy was neatly accomplished The peculiar combination of pork and cop per rode serenely into Seligman, and when the pig was dup up from under two feet of sulphides, the jig was up. The officer from Mohave county came down the road in auto. and took into captivity the two hoboes and the porker, returning with all to King man, and a grand larceny charge was lodged against the offenders. As the train was passing through Blackberry, the irate butcher was al the station and remarked: "This is like unto the stunt going on at Phoenix, and you fellows ought to be doing business down there in attempting to hog the governorship; you are long ways of the iOb."

Joe Cook and two of the best In dian trailers in the State, left early this morning to take up the trail. Con stable Fitzgerald, Doc" Pardee and several crack shots left last night for Walker valley and will SCOUT that sec ton in case the murderers attempt to escape in that direction. They arc said to be suffering from sore feet and 1t is not expected that they will travel farther than is necessary to keep ahead of their pursuers.
 Several descriptions were given of the two men but one believed to be the most reliable was furnished by the watchman at the Crook mine Ac- cording 10 him, one of the men was , feet, 10 inches tall, about l6O pounds in weight and wore brown suit with blue jumper over the coat. The other was described as being 2 inches shorter, wearing blue overalls and brown shoes. and rcd sweater. Both were Americans. Their faces were covered with several days growth of beard.
 With every available peace officer and more than a dozen deputized civilians searching the county, it is expected that the two men will be apprehended within a short time. De- scriptions of them are being left at every ranch house and the occupants warned to be on the lookout Both men are desperate characters and probably will not surrender without showing fight

Some of the more interesting war
figures given out are: The number
SO far lost in killed is 100000, and
the entire number now enrolled in the
fighting armies is 21,OOO,0OO. This
makes the killed list equal two-thirds
of the entire armies now engaged. The
total expense of the war, based upon
five dollars day to the man-which
is plenty low enough totals more
than $100,OO0,OOO day, burden that
all the money and all the credit in the
world could hardly stand up under for
another twelve months. If we were

1t is confidently predicted that most
if not all of the nations engaged in the
European war will be forced to go up
on a paper basis, and, after the war
is over, will be for many years fight
ing desperately against bankruptcy, at
the financial mercy of the world.
Against these wrecks of nations, who
have already murdered one-half their
fighting men, and who will hardly
want to engage in another war within
the next thirty years, there is a great
cry in this country for preparedness
an amount of preparedness running
up to many hundreds of millions and
transposition to military government
With President Wilson now a leader
in the preparedness movement, with
probably congress and the senate fav-
oring it; and with the money interests
munition manufacturers and jingoes
rampant for it. we're pretty sure to
get It. Our wealth is one feature
OF preparedness as against the other
bankrupt nations. Our resourceful-
ness is another. Our capability of
putting a number of fighting men into
battle line almost equal to all now en-
rolled in Europe, is a matter of pre-
paredness calculated to inspire res
pect. Independent is not opposed to
preparedness to justifyable extent.
nor to an increase in the army. 1t
would suggest, however, that buck
soldiers and jack sailors be paid more
than they have ever been paid, and
that army and navy life be raised
from plane OF mere subalternship to
one of Industrial as well as martial
attractiveness. Under present condi.
tions this country cannot get the few
needed for its army and navy. II the
situations are not somewhat changed
from the past dog and master" style
Americans will have to be Compelled
to enter service. except in call to bat
tie. Our people do not want war but
II II is forced upon them they will
always be ready. 1t is OF course. @
good thing to have plenty OF tools
in case we have to play the foolish
game.

gathering Of all available motor cars

pressed into the service of the military
authorities.

Fortunately the United States pro-
duces a big percentage of the worlds
