PASSES AWAY AFTER
LINGERING ILLNESS

On Sunday night, near the hour of
IL O'Clock, Mrs. Frank C. Wright.
quietly passed into the sleep which
we call death. She had been suf-
ferer from a painful and lingering
illness during many months.
The deceased, whose maiden name

ing in the seth year of her life when
she was called away. One daughter,
Lillian, now MIS- Meerelle Kissinger,
was the fruit of this union. In 1891
the family moved from Iowa to Lamar
Colorado, and after remaining there
seven years they located in Canon
city where they have since made
their home. She is survived by her
husband and daughter, Mrs. Kissin-
w. C. Moyle, all residing here and
two half brothers, Blaine and Bud
Moyle, and step-mother, Mrs. Ida
Moyle of Lenox. Iowa, and in addition
a number of near relatives at their
old home in Iowa. Mrs. Wright was
a faithful and consistent member of
the United Presbyterian church of
Canon City.
Mrs. Wright was woman of splen-
did character. She gave her heart
to the Master in early life and dur
ing the passing years joyously yield
ed to the Transforming power of His
love. She was sweet spirited, tender
hearted, helpful to those around her
and patient under the affections and
suffering that came into her own life.
To such one. we can be sure that
there was no fear when she approach
ed the valley and shadow" for she
heard the voice of the great shep-
herd saying: 81 am with you" The
ing weight of loss and loneliness
comes down upon the bereaved hns.

with the anguish of the separation
and the host of friends and relatives
who respected and loved her for her

they realized that they will never
again in this life be greeted by her

shadow there is the Light of the
World, and If we but listen we can
hear the message of Joy and hope
that comes from the Jesus whom she
trusted with an abiding faith: II am
the resurrection and the life" No
no, death does not end all. The Low
ing wife and mother and friend has
only been promoted to that endless
life of peace and Joy. She has gone
a little in advance to live forever
more in the mansion prepared for
her" and realize that peace that
''passeth understanding" The aches
and pains wbidh racked the body
here will be no more and the gentle
hand of the loving Father will wipe
away all tears. And by and by. when
the shadows are little longer
grown" the loving friends who are
now bowed in sorrow will cross the
river and there will be meeting and
a greeting on the Other Shore.
Mr.. Wright and his daughter have
the. deepest sympathy of wide circle
of friends, not alone in this immedi-
ate bereavement, but in others that
have come to him during the past
year.
The funeral services were held at
the home on Grand avenue. Lincoln
Park, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
being conducted by the Rev. l. C. Ran

ed among the crowd. The company
street is not an agreeable place for
woman to come to. The Y. NJ. C..
A., offers an opportunity for visiting
under pleasant condit ons. Next /
noticed men playing checkers and
chess, Willing away the dull moments
between mess and bedtime. Other
men were seated at the reading ta-
bles enjoying the latest magazines.
But the great majority were writing
letters. Good stationery furnished
free as well as tables. ink and pen.
This is the only place in camp where
a man can sit in chair with his
feet under a table. The stationery
supplied is very attractive, bearing
the heading:
Military Camp Tent,
ats ices
The State Executive Committee
of
The Young Mems Christi n Assn.
of Colorado.
To the left of the heading is a
print of the American flag in red,
white and blue. A canteen is main
tanned in the tent. Here the men can
buy stamps and mail their letter.
1t was twilight when l visited the
tent. Just outside was Jim Good
heart with his automobile playing
hymns on that mysterious instrument
of his. The men were jammed about
the machine enjoying the music.
Later on in the evening he came in
to the tent to talk. This was the first
time since my arrival in camp that
/ felt the refining and restraining
atmosphere of religion.
Unfortunately could not stay for
Mr.. Goodheart's address. We had
again been inoculated for typhus and
the serum was getting in its work.
But returned to my tent feeling that
there still existed a bond between
me and civilization

Sunday. July 9, 1916.
Some very funny things happen at
camp occasionally. The following
stories are told on some of the boys
when they first did sentry duty. The
regular form of challenge and reply
is: Halt, who is there?" A friend.
Advance friend to be recognized"
The first time private Tannehill was

Two o. the boys, Fred Merriam and

The boys were all giving thanks to
Mitchell & Egbers yesterday. We
were vaccinated for small pox. I'M
mediately afterward one could see in
nearly every tent amateur surgeons
dressing wounded arms with the ma
terials furnished by these thoughtful
gentlemen. 1t is quite a common
sight too, to see some footsore soldier

Jiggadier Brindle Thomas has been
promoted to the position of canteen
steward. In other words the Jigga-
dier is running a country store for
the camp. He has on sale ice cream,
pop, socks, tobacco. candy. under
wear, cigarettes, candle sticks. pipes,
shoe strings, towels. deviled ham, saus
ages, sardines, lemon waters, etc etc.
ad infinitum.
1 The store has al.eady proven big
success. The Jiggadier is assured OF
his patronage. He does a credit busi-
ness, drawing against the accounts of
the men on pay day. 1t is his plan to
issue coupon books thus facilitating
+, the handling of accounts. The store
offers its patrons laundry service.
This is perhaps appreciated more than

ing sight to see the various compa-
nies. about 1900 men, marching to the
target range. Here they sat down on
the grass while Major Jolly and Capt.
Hughes lectured on camp sanitation
and personnel hygiene. The talks
were practical, right to the point and
based on experience. The doctors
were particularly explicit in explain
ing why the camp should be kept abb
solutely clean and what measures
might be taken to prevent disease.
After the doctors had spoken. the
men were pleasantly surprised to see
Governor Carlson. He spoke to
them briefly His main point was
that as the civil war veterans during
the past generation had been an in
fiuence in unifying the various ele-
ments Of our population and keeping
alive spirit of patriotism, go might
we, whether we ever went to Mexico
or not, inspire loyalty to country
among the people in the communities
to which we return.
The Governors address was roundly
cheered.

A BOOT-LEGGER ON TRIAL

Constable John Roberts. Bernard
ROBERTS and Henry Turk Went to
Phoenix Monday night to appear in
the superior court as witnesses for
the state against one M G.. Thomp-
son, charged with boot-legging. This
man thompson was arrested ON or
about May Goth by Constable Roberts
III Parker ON similar charge, he
having in his possession in an auto
mobile, II cases of whskey and a
barrel of bottle beer which he was
bringing in from California. He was
held pending instructions from the
district attorneys office at Yuma,
but as the desired information for
some reason was mduly delayed, the
prisoner was discharged and he went
on with his booze. He claimed it
was intended for his Gown personal
use"-for an "eye-opener' in the
morning, shot just before break
fast, Jolt before dinner, a 'swig'
before supper and a ''night-cap" be-
fore bedtime, not forgetting a drop
now and then between each of these
for the stomach's S sake, and so on
and so forth, ad infinitum world
without end till the moistures gone.
Recently he was again arrested as
he was returning from California with
more personal use" goods, represen-
ted by $50 bottles of beer, and this is
the charge upon which he is being
tried
Just what his defense will be is
not known to us at this writing, but
if he sticks to his PERSONAL use"
plea and proves to the satisfaction of
jury that he has, within something
like one month, alone and unaided,
guzzled the contents of those twelve
cases of whiskey and that barrel of
beer-and still wanted more-then he
will have proved that he is not a
boot-legger, but will have shown be-
yond the peradventure of a doubt
that he is sadly in need of a guard

RECORD PRODUCTION.

The mines and smelters of Arizo-
ma have been working at a pressure
SO nigh IN 1916 that they are prob
ably making record productions of all
metals. If they continue to work at
the present rate during the year they
WllImake an output of over 600, ,OOO,-
ooO pounds Of copper, against about
4o0, 100000 in 1915, according tore
ports received by the U. S. Geological
Survey from Victor C. Heikes of the
Salt Lake office.
A corresponding increase in the out
put OF the precious metals and an in
crease in that of lead and zinc, which
Is probable will, at the greatly in
creased prices, make the totan value
OF the output in 1916 nearly double
that of 1915, which was about $685.
OOO,OOO. Thus Arizona not only re-
talns Tlrst place as copper producer
but is producing at a rate nearly
double that of any other state.
Aside from general effort to take
advantage of an unusually active mar
ket, several factors have aided this
increase, such as the settlement of
the strike at the Clifton Morenci
mines in January. The International
smelter, which treats Inspiration ore,
contributes the greatest part of the
increase, for this plant is supplying
about one-fourth of the total copper
Marked increases and improvements
were made at the United Verde, Mi
ami, Calumet and Arizona, and Old
Dominion mines, and the Sasco plant
in Pima county was again blown in
