The Arvada enterprise. (Arvada, Colo.) 1908-1970, 1916-12-07

America is comfortable and
rich. In contrast with the peace
and quiet which are ours let Us
think of the terror and strife in
Armenia. We have safe homes
and sweet comforts Of the undis-
turbed comradeship Of those we
love. Their homes are in ruins;
they are in lonely exile, and in
place of family comfort there are
only ruined confiscated houses,
starving bodies, stunned minds
shattered nerves, bruised hearts.
With loneliness and pain and
terror and uncertainty and hung
err, cruelty and hate they keep
constant vigil. The moan of a
race moves across the heart Of
the stricken world.
The latest cablegrams say that
the exiIed, homeless Armenian
survivors are eating grass and
dying by the hundreds Of starva-
ton and exposure and disease.
Many of those who remain alive
can be saved only by prompt and
generous measures of relief.

ROAD MAKING
LACKS SYSTEM
State Engineer Urges Coun-
ty Courts to Watch Ex-
penditures.

In circular letter TO members OF
county courts asking for suggestions
toward revising the road laws OF the
state, State Engineer Lewis points
out that over SG,OOO.OO is being ex.
pended annually on roads in Oregon,
largely under the direction Of coun-
~ courts
Seventy per cent of the funds
available must. under the law, be al
lotted to district supervisors and as
a result there is no Capitalization OF
responsibility or Standardization OF
work.
Good results are doubtless had
In some eases" says Engineer Lewis,
but in other the funds are wasted,
there being no clear-cut division of
responsibility. County courts are
often blamed for the inefficiency of
the supervisors without centralized
control, no uniform system of maps,
profiles or cost keeping records can
be kept 30 as to show where and how
the money has been expended.
Those doing good work cannot
get proper credit and must often suf-
fer criticism because there Ia no
method OF comparing unit costs OF
work done In one county or district
with that OF another"

MAXWELLS MAKE
new RECORDS

Recent motor car performance N
the west have focused the attention
OF the automobile public on Maxwell
cars. says Mr.. Olson, who handles
Maxwell cars locally. During the
month OF May. stock Maxwell cars
have been put through various PAGES
along the Pacific coast and In every
instance have established records
that proclaim dependability. strength
and the all-important item of econo-
my
Ray Mcnamara, who has piloted
several Maxwell economy runs. and
who established record IN Detroit
early In April when he drove a stock
touring car ~ miles on IA gallon OF
gasoline. broke his own record In
California when he drove car
from Oakland TO San Jose. the speed
ometer showing 45.6 miles when the
engine stopped after consuming its
supply OF one gallon OF gasoline.
In connection with McNamara's =
performance. a report comes from
Seattle that Maxwell touring car
made the run from Seattle to Tacoma
on gallon OF gasoline. A distance
OF 43 miles was registered and the
car carried five adult passengers and
two children.
The Maxwell gained added glory
by breaking the trail to Lake Tahoe,
making the run three full weeks be-
fore the earlist arrival of any pre-
vlous season.
This performance Is all the more
remarkable In that the snowfall in
the Sierra Nevada mountains during
the past winter was the heaviest
since 1889, The Maxwell made the
trip to California's most famous
lake without any aid save
that furnished by its own engine and
its hardy crew OF four men.
In many places the snow was piled
fifteen feet deep. but the car came
through without being buried once.
The success of the venture was due
in large part to the ability of the
car to ride the heavy drifts instead
OF breaking through them, as was
the case with heavier cars in past
seasons.
Mr.. McNamara's latest economy
test was observed by representatives
of the Lincoln Highway association
and the San Diego fair, while the au-
editor of the Oakland, Cal
ifornia Tribune inspected the speed
ometer gears. the carburetor. etc
Speaking of the economy test at
Seattle. one of the newspapers there
said:
Seattle has been the scene of
numerous economy trials, which
have aroused much interest among
motor enthusiasts, but new chap
ter was recorded when a 1916 model
Maxwell touring car, carrying five
adults and two children, travelled
from Seattle to Tacoma on a gallon
of gasoline. That the performance
was not an accident was demonstrat-
ed when the feat was repeated on
the return trip. The distance from
the Seattle Automobile eompany's
building in Seattle to the Logan Gar
age in Tacoma is forty-three miles,
which gives the Maxwell record for
phenomenal gasoline economy"

Still Time For Bevmuda

Feed for the stock twelve months in the year, bermuda pasture for summer and bermuda hay for winter, can be had on any farm. Why grow more cotton to buy hay when bermuda grows so readily everywhere? Bermuda is the cheapest feed that can be grown. Bermuda is adapted to nearly all soils. It is hardy and very drought resis- tant. But above all bermuda grass is the richest in feeding value of any grass grown in the South. Its protein content is higher than that of any grass known. Pasture the bermuda already on the place and get some more started for hay. Start it during April or May. Use pieces of sod planted in rows three feet apart or SOW six pounds of seed per acre. Start bermuda and then grow live stock on it.

AWAY OUT IN ARIZONA
Former Monroe County Man Writes Interesting Letter From Far
 Away West

SAWOJ VSSs
 Prescott, Arizona, April II, 1916 Dear ARGUS Friends:
 am constrained that 1 should write again and give an account of myself.
 On last Thursday morning the 5 inst. 1 left Clifton at 6:15 and arrived at Lordsburg, a little city on the Southern Pacific about 9:15. There we were de- layed till near 6 that evening, when we should have left there at 11:45. We changed cars off the s. P. at Maricopa and arrived at Phoenix the capital of Arizo- na at 3 o'clock Friday morning. l went to a hotel and got about three hours sleep, a medicine 1 very much needed. At 745 we started for Prescott over the the most picturesque road I have ever travelled. Phoenix is in a beautiful valley through which we travelled for miles, passing fields and pastures green with 
 wheat, rats and alfalfa, in many of them were droves of horses and fine cattle. We then passed through desert portions where the different species of cactus were in abundance. About the only animals seen in the desert section were big droves of sheep or goats. We then began to climb up the ountains, and such a circling and worm winding never realized before what it could mean. At places we could see our road making great loops, and the engine putting away in her ascent as though her very life was being given in the effort.
 When we left Phoenix our attitude was about HOO feet and when we reached Prescott we were near $500 so we had made quite a climb as you can see. We find this to be a delightful climate, somewhat cooler than in old Monroe.
 I have made the acquaintance of some splendid people, but oh! at the wickedness there is among the masses. 1 have heard more genuine (if l should so term it) hard down swearing, "cussing," since l have been West than l would hear in five years in good old Arkansas. Be- side our people 1 see a few negroes, some Japs, Chinese, and plenty of Mexicans, but not near so many of them as there were at Clifton. The subject of greatest interest discussed among the men is that of mining. There are gold, silver and copper mines all through this country and you will see exhibits of ore, that been taken out of the differ ent mines in many windows as you pass along through the business part of the city.
 I visited the old Pioneer Home on last Sunday evening. It is located in the Western suburb of the city. It is a grand institu- tion kept up by the state. Noth- ing else like it anywhere they say. There are now forty-four inmates. ranging in age from seventy to ninety years. A new addition is being added-nearly completed for the old women of the state. The building is a two story brick setting on a high rocky eminence overlooking the city of Prescott. The manager, Judge Wren, kindly showed me through.
