Medora, N D., July 24-Here in the
heart of the badlands, in picturesque
Medora, full of romantic interest and
frontier associations, the Red Trail
bridge, built by popular subscription,
was dedicated today before more than
5000 people, most Of whom motored
from all points Of the compass.
It was fitting climax to two
hours run from Dickinson through
the Badlands, over roads as smooth
as city pavement, and made doubly
enjoyable by the sublime scenery
that heged them in. .s.f
TheSs ceremonies which formally
opened to traffic the Red Trail bridge,
'The Bridge that Boost Built were
typical of frontier days. Members Of
the. ,sociability tour, as they dipped
into the basin of the Little Missouri,
upon which Medora is located, were
received by the cowboys and cowgirls
headed by, the Hebron band. In their
gay, colored handkerchiefs, wrapped
about their necks, caps and other re,
gala of the cow-puncher and broncho-
buster, the setting gave an atmos-
phere to the reception which had in
it touch of the regal way in which

British and French Fleet
Cause Alarm for the Safe
Return OF the Deutschland

Norfolk, Va, July 24.-The appear
ance of strange, allied warship off
Cape Henry today led to rumors that
British and French fleet of consid-
cradle size was in the vicinity of the
southern drill grounds, awaiting the
departure of the German submarine
merchantmen, Deutschland, or the ar
rival of her sister ship, the Bremen.
The new warship is believed to be
one of the new British battle cruis-
ers. She has three tunnels. Stimuli
taneous with her appearance the four
funneled warship, thought to be
French, which has been patroling just
outside the three-mille limit for sew
eral days, struck out to the east and
disappeared The vessel which ap-
peared today was the fourth of the al
lied navies that has been outside the
cape within ten days.

High School Notes

With an ample supply of oak and
other hardwoods to work with, and
with all machinery running in first
class order the manual training
classes will soon be turning out
some excellent pieces of furniture.
The student body was entertain
ed Monday by reports of the fair
visitors OH the Arizona exposition
and the Salt River valley. Many
of them bitterly told how they
were relieved of their hard-earned
sheckels' without getting value
received. This of course is to be
expected of country folks.
For the opening exercise Thurs
day a good live yell practice was
held in the assembly.
The Crescents entertained the

so to speak, with all the prizes at
the State Fair at Phoenix. Mrs.
J. r. Profitt, club leader, has re-

the result of their efforts.
The first prize was won by Miss
Florence Coons, Miss Clare Nc
Guire, second, and Miss Theresa
Sabin, third. The prizes were

enterprise
San Diego and Arizona Railroad

President John D. Spreckles has
made announcement that the San
Diego and Arizona railroad is to be
completed at once. This means
direct rail connection with Yuma,
the Imperial valley and San Diego.
The road was commenced some
time ago, but financial difficulties
stopped construction work when all
but thirty-four miles of the road
had been completed. After the
completion of this gap trains will
run direct from San Diego via Ell
Centro and Calexico to Yuma, and
give Arizona a much shorter and
more direct route to the coast.
President Spreckles' statement,
published in a San Diego newspa-
per, says: Il have made financial
arrangements which insure the
early completion of the San Diego
and Arizona railway. So soon as I
can obtain a modification of the
order of the railroad commission,
contracts will be entered into with
two large contractors whose bids
we have in hand for the uncom-
pleted portion of the road" "
The completion of this road
means much for Southern Arizona
and is welcome news to all who are
interested in the states develop

A Proclamation of Thanksgiving
EXECUTINE DEPARTMENT,
STATE OF ARIZONA.

Since that memorable day in
America S history when our ances-
tors foregathered on the bleak
shores of New England and there
proclaimed their gratitude in
unison to Almighty God for all
those blessings providentia1ly be-
slowed upon them, it has been the
custom of the American people to
set apart annually a day for the
rendering of thanks to the Creator
i'll fitting recognition of divine
mercies and benefactions. This
custom, universally approved, is
properly perpetuated III the State
of Arizona and observance thereof
is commended by law.
1t is particularly see1nly that
Arizona S citizens should celebrate,
in the present year, the annual day
of Thanksgiving, for harvests have
been bountfu1, and the pursuits of
industry have been fruitful beyond
compare. In other ways, also,
than those of merely material bene-
fit the people of the State have been
abundantly and providentially fav-
ored.
Now, THEREFORE, I, GEO. w.
P. HUNT, Governor of Arizona, by
virtue of the authority in me vest
ed, do proclaim and set aside
Thursday, November 30th, 1916,
as Thanksgiving Day. 1t is
urgently recommended that on the
day thus set apart, all the people
of Arizona shall unite in giving
reverent thanks to God for the
peace and prosperity which abide
within our State, and for that faith
in the underlying purpose of di-
vinity which portends the ultimate
salvation of humanity.
In WITNESS WHEREOF, / have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the Great Seal of the State Of Ari-
zona to be affixed.
Done at Phoenix, the capital,
this gath day of November, A. d. +,
1916.
