PRAISES WESTERN
RAILROAD SERVICE

A pretty tribute to western railroad
service and one showing that the west
knows how to do things as good as, if
not better than, other sections of the
country, was paid in a telegram to the
commanding general of the department
of the east, Governors Island, New
York. Colonel Crenshaw, commanding
a regiment of Alabama infantry dis
patched to the border during the troop
mobilization. From the quartermaster's
base at NogaIes Arizona, Colonel
Crenshaw sent the wire reporting the
arrival of three sections on October
%. The service of the Pullman COM
pany on the entire trip from Alabama
to Nogales was described as satisfac-
tory. The service on one southern road
was likewise described; that on an
other was termed fair" and that on
third was classed as very poor. "The
service on the Southern Pacific" re-
ported Colonel Crenshaw, was very
good-the best en- route"
"a testimonial of that kind" said one
Southern Pacific official the other day
makes us feel pretty good, for it shows
that a railroads efforts to please the
public and serve it we'll are not unap-
preciated"

producer, but is producing at a rate
nearly double that of any other state.
The International smelter, which treats
Inspiration ore, contributes the greater
part of the increase, for this plant is
supplying about one fourth of the total
copper. Marked increases and i'm
provements were made at the United
Verde. Calumet and Arizona, and Old
Dominion mines and the Sasco plant
in Pima county was again blown in
The railroad to Ajo was completed and
work has been begun there on 5000
ton teaching plant.
There is great activity in the pro-
duction of gold, especially in Mohave
county, and the high price of zinc has
stimulated production at the Tennessee,
Union Basin and Kingman zinc prop
critics. The mill at the Union Basin
mine was enlarged, ad work at the San
Xavier mine in Pima county was re-
sumed.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Now 24-Thou-
sands of citizens of Arizona received
terrific jolt today when they learned
that the new bone dry prohibition
amendment, which bars the importa-
tion of liquor for personal use becomes
effective as soon as the result of the
election has been officially announced
by proclamation of the governor. The
original prohibition amendment, adopt
ed in 1914 did not become effective
until the first of the following year,
and saloon keepers and brewers had
almost two whole months in which to
get rid of their stocks. 1t was natural
ly assumed when the recent amend
ment prohibiting the shipment of liquor
into the state for personal use was
submitted to the people that it would
not go into effect until January /, but
there is no such provision in the new
amendment. 1t becomes effective as
soon as the governors proclamation
is issued, which may be before Thanks
giving.

amendment barring personal use"

drift for its entire width is now in ore,
while the extent Of the ore body is yet
to be determined. The Homestead
mine is located in the center of the
town of Walker, many OF the buildings
being located on the outcrop. The
Homestead was famous as gold mine
in the early days, the values being re-

LONDON PAPERS
DIRECTING TO
PLAN FOR PEACE

London, Dec 1.-Reports received
from the United States that an organ
lied effort is being made there with
peace as it's objective have brought
out several editorials in opposition to
such move.
IF the allies are even reduced
to an armistice by the American in
trigues," says the Morning Post,
''They would regard the United
States as a traitor to the cause of the
world freedom. Therefore we sug-
gest to our American cousins that,
as they have decided to take no part
in the war except to make money out
of it, it would be wisdom for them
to leave us to fight out what is, after
all, their battle
The Morning Post argues that the
Germans are willing for peace ind
mediately and would give the En-
tente everything they desire but
only. on one condition, namely, that
Germany be allowed a free hand in
Central and South America.
1--WE understand" the newspaper
adds, "that condition has been put
forward, of course discreetly and I'M
officially, by the German government
and that it has been rejected by the
allies. buC why SLOulu IL NC re-
jected? We are selling our South
American securities and if the Amer
leans really want peace and do not
object to having Germany for a
neighbor, why should England inter-
vene? -.
"Any time in the last ten years
we could have had an agreement
with Germany by allowing her free
hand across the Atlantic. Great
Britain stands between Germany and
America like the counter scarp of a
fortress, and. if the Americans in
duce us to peace before this job is
finished what they will have accom-
plished is to destroy their best de-
Tense against Germany.
1.-THE Americans, who, If we may
say SO with politeness, are rather
painfully ignorant Of European af
fairs, do not seem to realize what
Germany Is fighting for-not merely
the dominion Of Europe but the
dominion Of the whole world. And if
the allies are defeated, what is there
to stand against Germany"

GRANITE BLOCKS
FOR pavement
MADE BY HAND
How Paving Stone is Taken
From Quarries to the
Street.

Few persons who travel over the
smooth granite paving of the pres
emit time realize that the blocks from
which the surface is made are hewn
out of the quarries by hand or "bro-
ken out" in the quarryman's vernacu-
lar, says the Christian Science Mont
tor. From the time the huge block
Of granite is dynamited from the
main body Of the stone in the quar-
ry until it is placed on the paving
base in the street hand work plays
a large part in the manufacture of
these blocks.
The smooth, grouted granite block
paving is being used more extensive
ly than ever on streets where the
traffic is heavy, replacing the rough
blocks which are found to a large
extent on streets paved some years
ago.
Whether smooth or rough the gran
tie block. is split 1t appears that
the split granite paving blocks were
introduced into the United States in
Boston by Solomon Willard in 1910.
Since then millions of these blocks in
various sizes have been ltd in all sec
tons of the United States. New Eng
land has always been the chief pro-
ducing section. and it is estimated
that 100000 blocks will be cut in
the New England states alone during
the present year.
The first process in the manufac-
ture of the granite paving blocks Is
the blasting Of huge slabs of granite
from the main body of rock. Au

Mantle is utilized in the actual loosen
ing of the slabs. It is necessary
for the larger slabs to be broken into
sizes which one man can handle, and
this is done by a second use Of the air.
compressor drills.
The next step in the process in
wolves the removal Of the small slabs
from the quarry to the paving cutter.
Huge derricks lift these small slabs
from the pit Of the quarry onto small
fiat cars by which they are hauled
to the paving cutters yard by a steam
engine over narrow gauge rails. The
platforms of the cars are so adjusted
with automatic drops that either side
may be lowered, thus allowing the
blocks or lifts to slide directly from
the platform Of the car into the "cut-
ters' yard"
The first break is made in the
cutters yard. Through years of ex-
perience the cutters have learned
that granite splits more easily in two
planes than in any other direction.
These two planes are known as the
rift and the grain" Blocks split
easier along the rift, but the ordin-
airy person can detect neither the rift
nor the grain, but to the experienced
cutter their detection comes as a mat
ter of course.
Holes are drilled in the block at
regular intervals. The cutter then
makes his first break by means Of
plug and feather splitting" In the
drill holes which extend nearly
through the block or lift" are placed
steel plates called feathers" to pro-
tect the Sides of the drill holes. Be-
tween the feathers, steel wedges or
plugs are driven along the whole line
with sledge hammer as nearly sim
ultaneously as possible. In this way
the blocks are split in the first break.
The second split is made by means
of a bull wedge The air compress

WOMAN MURDERED AT DUBOIS
Head Crushed With Axe; Husband
Missing; Authorities ON
Trail of Murderer

z At their little tent on the outskirts
of Dubois the CHASTITY remains OF
Mrs. Charles Smith were found Sat
urday morning, the head hacked to
pieces with an axe, which lay at her
side covered with her blood. Her
husband, Charles Smith, is suspected
of the deed because he has been mis-
sing since the body was found. His
description is being sent broadcast,
as follows: weight about l8O
pounds; height, feet, 10 inches; a
popularity of his face is the absence
of eyebrows; he is about 40 years OF
age.
Nothing much is known as to
where the couple came from They
were camping on some ground which
Mr.. Smith cultivated. He had been
doing odd jobs around the railroad
yards and town.
No reason is suggested for the
murder and the couple seem to have
had no intimates or friends among
the neighbors. The authorities will
continue to do all they can to locate
the murderer or mailman who com,
mitted the terrible act.
