 M ARTHUR BROTHERS
Newspaper Man Concludes He Will Sell Autos-Takes Tucson, BIsoee
 and Douglas Branches

Warren Pitcher, one of the best known newspaper men of Arizona and New Mexico, will leave the newspaper work at an early date to accept the management of the Douglas, Bisbee and Tucson branches of McArthur Brothers.
 Mir Pitcher during the past year has issued a number of special editions for leading newspapers of Arizona and dis tinSuished himself as young man of unusual executive and sales ability. Tie specials issued under MT Pitchers direction were in each case pronounced to be the cleanest and most valuable ever issued by the Arizona papers. Frequent editorial comment throughout the southwest pronounced these edi- tionS the most informative and com prehensive descriptions, and analysis Of the various Arizona districts and their possibilities. MT. Pitcher has just completed a mining edition for the Arlzona Record that will doubtless be long used as the most comprehensive authority on the mining and other re- sources of that part of the state.
 Mr Pitcher, however, has decided to enter the automobile field and when he assumes the mana agement of the south cln Arizona houses of the McArthur Brothers he will represent one of the strongest automobile organizations in the southwest. The automobile busi- ness of McAithur Brothers has eX- pa1ded during the past year until it h liSlo numerous branches in other parts of the state in order that proper service could be rendered all purchasers of Packard, Jeffery and Dodge cars.
 With the intense mining activity around Bisbee and Douglas, and with the prospects of better conditions in Mexico, these southern Arizona branches of. McArthur Brothers prom ise to be the most important of the automobile institutions in the state.

Monday, May l, 1916.

Francis H. Petit and Hamilton
D. Gronen, who are to take office
at the city hall tomorrow as COM
missioners of public safety and
public works, respectively, each
declared today they had not made
any definite plans for manage

would make few preliminary
changes among city hall Jobs.
Petit declared that he would
release Fire Chief McAlevy as his
first official act. He declared,
however, that he had not decided
upon a successor.

trict will have been completed
Mears believes the line will be
through by the end of 1916.
Use Eastern Coal.
Uncle Sam s patrols in the Pa
cific are now compelled to use
easetrn and Australian coal, al
comparatively high prices.
In time of stress the blocking
of the Panama canal might pre-
sent a perilous handicap for the
navy in Pacific waters.
Alaska coal therefore becomes
big factor in preparedness.
In the aMtanuska region lies
an immense supply of sub-bitumi-
nous fuel, the equal of West Nir-
ginia steaming coal. according tic
the experts who tested it.
Cheap fuel will be provided foi
the navy, for the industries of
southern and western Alaska and
the entire Pacific coast. 1t il
estimated the navy alone will use
more than 10000 tons a year.
Alaska will then begin its new
yield of riches.

Because of his contention that
his position is controlled by civil

be able to hold position at the
city hall, but not as secretary.
Garretson will probably be
given a position as clerk in the

week. G.. w. Burroughs has been
selected by Commissioner-elect

Mills has served a four years

that they have become regarded
as fixtures.
Petit and Gronen visited the
city hall today, and attended the
morning council session, familiar

Big MEN OF ALASKA

Greatly hated and greatly adj
mired-a man of many friends
and many enemies!
Such is the record Co. w. p.
Richardson has made as presi-
dent of the Alaska road commits
sion during the last 10 years.
He has actively directed the
construction of 1000 miles of
highway, $50 miles of sled roads
and $3.50 miles of trail through
out the northwest territory.
In addition to this, Col. Rich
ardson investigated all the early
Alaskan railroad projects for the
government, and built all the
army posts, beginning at Circle
City, where he was sent as lieu
tenant of a company in '97.
Big, bluff, uncompromising, 1t
was his first job to maintain law
on the Yukon during the days
when men were apt to regard the
law as a hindrance and handicap
in the battle for riches.
He did that with a directness
and unflagging vigilance that
gave pause to potential outlaws
and won him the plaudits of the
pioneer majority.
Quick to identify himself with
the important task of construct
ing roads from camp to river
transportation and mining CEN
ters, Col. Richardson has won a
place among the big men of Alas
ka by making the pitiless path
of the musher" less heart-break-
ing.
How thoroughly he had digest
ed the problem of highways in
the North was illustrated n

What Tacoma schools are

came in for high praise from
two of the leading educators
i'm the state, who We're here
fer short visit today.
"Tacoma's plan for a juvenile
public market, where the children
can sell the products of their
home gardens, is just about the
best idea OF its kind | ever have
heard Of" said Mrs. Josephine
Preston, state superintendent OF
schools.
The market ought to he a big
success. 1t means the boys and
girls will learn the foundations OF
industry, economy and business
not to mention giving them some
thing practical to do which will in
terest them kenely.
