ARIZONA WILL GET FEO-
 ERAI AID ON ROADS

WASHINGTON, D. C., July IT, Strategic highways can now be con- structed pursuant to the provisions of the s5,00O,O0O federal aid roads bill which has just been signed by Presi- dent Wilson. The first of these high ways necessary for military pur. poses would naturally be the road which parallels the boundary between the United States and Mexico, and traverses the states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona and California.
 The cost of construction of these jCintly-built roads is to be borne 50 per cent by the federal government and 50 per cent by the states; the fed eral monies being divided proportiouate to area, population, and post road mil cage. The largest amount allotted to any state is to Texas. by reason of it's large area. The other three mention ed states also have a very large al lowance.

RIFLES ARRIVE FOR
 TOMBSTONE GUN CLUB

The rifles. ammunition. and other equipment of the Tombstone Rife Cub arrived today from Benetia. Cal, where they were shipped from the gov ernment arsenal. and work will be begun as soon as possible on the clear ing Of the rife range on the site be- low town. The work of clearing will be started possibly by the first of the week, or as soon as a meeting can be called, at which plans for the work will be made. A report has been cir culated to the effect that the Rifle club is travelling as a weak-kneed pro- position but this has been entirly dis credited by examination of the records of Secretary J. w Walker, which shows that in the neighborhood of 65 members have signed the member ship roll. and out of this number 56 have paid their initiation fee of s1O. making a total in the treasury of $500. which will be used in purchasing equipment and constructing the range.
 The Tombstone Rife Club promises to come up to the equal of any organi- ration in the state. and with a mem bership of the most prominent resi- dents of the city. among them some crack shots. bids fair to make a good showing at practice.

PHOENIX. July 1s.-Get a receipt.

PHOENIX,J July 1s.-Get a receipt.
 According to an agreement between the corporation commission and the Southern Pacific, Arizona Eastern and Santa Fe railroad companies. made public upon the filing of suits in Fed eral court to enjoin the commission from applying the three-cent fare law, purchasers of tickets after August 1, will be handed coupons good for the excess fare over 3 cents per mile. in the event the court denies the in junction.
 It is in accordance with a practice inaugurated in Oklahoma that the commission and the roads have adopt ed the coupon system. As a measure of economy. it will save the state the expense of opposing in federal court the issue of a temporary restraining order. Hitherto, when the commis- sion has sought to apply the three cent-fare law, and the roads have sought such restraining orders. 1t has cost each side considerable money to decide the preliminary issue.
 The law as now handled by the commission, goes into effec. on Aug ust 1. In the opinion of attorneys concerned in the case. the court will reach the suite of the three railroad companies in October. or at the latest in November. So for each ticket sold during August and September. at least there will be an accompanying coupon or receipt, returnable in cash if the injunction is denied. but worthless, in case the court decides to uphold the contention os the railroads.
 Other rsIlroaos in the state are not affected .. th- commissions ruling.

GLEASON COWBOYS IN
 REAL WILD WEST SHOW

GLEASON, July 17.-Joe Brazeal, better known as Calgary Red" Chicken" Moon and C. M Davis, were in Gleeson for a few days this week. They are enroute to the northern part of the state with herd of horses, and among them are some of the widest animals that ever roamed the range. Calgary Red is noted for his ability in riding this sort of animals without bridle or saddle, and his reputation as a broncho buster is envied by many prairie rat. During their stay here Red" rode some of the horses for the amusement Of the town, among them being an outlaw mule from one of the nearby ranches. and whose owner said could pile" anybody at any time. The mule in its bucking antics fairly represented a German Zeppelin as it plunged an snorted. but Red" stuck like a porous plaster, mid cheers from the large crowd that gathered to witness the fun.
 Pete Winds, who has for some time been shift boss at the shannon mine. has resigned and agil taken rc his residence on his ranch about four miles from Gleeson. where he is now busy putting in some large crops. talk ing advantage of the beneflt this sec tion derived from the recent rains.

OLD SPANISH TRAIL ROUTE
 WILL REcEivE-TRAvEL


 The old Spanish Trail Association
 with headquarters at Mobile. Ala, was formed last year to develop a greater travel and better roads through the southern portion of the United States. The routes selected have been char Texas Automobile Tours and num- Der of other practical guide books for automobile travellers.
 At persent thousands of motorists are crossing the greater part of all the distance from ocean to ocean each season and the routes up north have received the greater portion of this traffic. The principal reason for their being favored is the publicity that has been accorded them and the maps and
 guide books that have been made available. It is reasonable to pre- sume that when properly exploited the Old Spanish trail will receive more than it's share of travel, for it is a line of least resistance. greatest at fractions, best accommodations and ser Tice and can De travelled at all seasons of the year
 From Los Angeles the route follows the Pacific coast to San Diego and thence through the Imeprial valley to Yuma. In Arizona it passes through Phoenix. Tucson. Tombstone, Bisbee and Douglas, reaching New Mexico at Rodeo. Hachita and Deming are the most important towns on this line. in New Mexico, which follows the Mexican border ot Fl Paso. From the latter city to Dallas the route follows close to the Texas & Pacific railway. Between Dallas and New Orleans op- tional routes have been mapped out, one via Houston, Orange, Lake Charles. New Iberia and Donaldson vile, and the other via Shreveport, Alexandria and Baton Rouge. The route via Shreveport is shorter by 133 miles. but a greater mileage of i'm proved roads is found via Houston. The Mississippi coast is skirted in reaching Mobile, Ala, from New Or leans, and is wonderfully attractive section. Florida is reached by anoth- CT option in routes. One goes from Mobile to Pensacola and the other via Bay Minette. Flomaton and Munson.
 The latter eliminates the necessity of ferrying rivers. In reaching Jack sonville and St. Augustine the route passes through Cresview, DeFuniak Springs. Tallahassee and Lake City.

TUCSON, July 1s.-Whether Jack Ellison. the Aio pool hall proprietor who shot L. L. Buck at Ajo Thursday night last, is poor shot or a crack shot, is one of the incidental consid- erations that has occurred in the case the first shooting in the new mining camp of the Calumet & Arizona min ing company in this county.
 At the arraignment Saturday Eli son was held under a bond of 5000 County Attorney Hilzinger and Sher- If Forbes returned to the city Satur- Jay night after attending the arraign- .nent. The preliminary hearing was
 ct for August Is.
 Ellison shot at Buck four times, fol lowing a quarrel at the formers pool hall and soft drink stand. An ex- animation of Buck showed that there was a bullet wound in his leg and one in each arm. If Ellison shot at his antagonist with intent to kill, he is a very poor shot, officers say. How ever, if he was shooting merely to wing" Buck, then Ellison must be a marks-an of rare ability.
 The state has taken the theory that Ellison is poor shot, since it charges him with attempting to kill Buck.
