DEATH
 SHELDON REED
 LATE LAWMAKER

Sheldon A. Reed of Tucson, a mem Der from that county of the house of the second Arizona legislature, was killed last Friday afternoon at rail- road crossing at Luxor, a station on the Southern Pacific short distance this side of Deming. companion, Frank J. Odermatt, son of Dr. F. A. Odermatt, a dentist of Tucson for more than 30 years, was also killed.
 The men were riding in an auto mobile which was struck by freight train. Both were contractors and builders and were on a visit to Deming making a survey of the government work to be done there on one of the mobilization camps Both of them had been residents of Tucson since boy hood.
 MT. Reed will be remembered by those who attended the sessions of the second session of the legislature as a young man of dark complexion who sat with the Pima delegation in the right hand rear of the chamber. At tention was especially directed to him by reason of the fact that he was a steady supporter of Governor Hunt in the stormy events of that session and voted with the ,labor element of the house while the rest of his delegation was anti administration and anti labor.

GALL HALT T0 SOME
 USES IF MOTOR CAR
 AT OFFICERS CAMP

With the time drawing very near for the second training camp for officers for the new national army and with the first camp more than two months old, officials of the war department are endeavoring to profit by the experience of the first camp and make any necessary changes for the better in the second one To this end, Major Martin Craig, a mem Der of the general staff has been detailed to visit all of the training camps and report any recommended changes.
 Some of the changes that will be recommended for the second training camp are: Less time for target prac- tice, less time given to. sketching, more to other branches of work Recommendations also are to be made to correct what may believe to be errors in administration. It is sug gested that the students be en- tered at first into the branches they choose, and later if not found fit, to be transferred to others. In the present camps the men all were given the same training the first month and then divided up. Some went to the cavalry, some the field artillery. some
 
 the infantry.
 Many of the wealthy students at tending the training camps have their motor cars with them. They use them almost daily in driving to and from the target range, going to town at running errands and for various other things In the evening after study hour, some of them have beer taking their commanding officers and their friends among the regular army officers for pleasure rides
 To keep even a suspicion of favor itism from creeping into the selec- tion of officers from the training | camps and to make all feel that they have an equal chance, whether ricf or poor, an order has been issued ] forbidding the students from takinl | the officers out for social rides.

MOTOR CARS CRASH
 BUT NJ ONE |S HURT

MESA, July 16.-ln crossing the railroad tracks near the Johnson and Pearce warehouse, after night, the auto driven by J. M Sanders, Mesa rancher, was struck and badly dam aged, while Sanders himself, had a very narrow escape from death. He was approaching the crossing, having slowed down to pass between a train which had been broken to open the passage. When he reached the other track, there being a double track at that place, a freight car, which was rolling down caught his car and knocked it along, badly crushing the machine Sanders escaped by jump ing and was fortunate to receive only a slight injury to the shoulder. He states that it was dark at the crossing and no warning was given of the approaching car. Ordinarily there is very little train service over the road after night, but now that cantaloupes are being shipped, con siderable switching is being done. It is reported that a boy was knocked from his wheel by train the night before at the same crossing.

 Those who witnessed the affair say that Hurley was moving east and had just passed the intersection of the streets when Suddarth s9eeded up, passed on the right hand side and at tempted to turn in front. The witnesses also say that Suddarth did not indicate that he was to turn. The Overland managed to make the turn hefore Hur- ley was aware that a car was even approaching, with the result that the left rear wheel of the Overland caught the front wheel of the Ford. Ten min utes was required to clear the wreck age.

SACRIFICE BY MESA MINISTER
 TO GOD IF WAR

The following letter shows some thing of the workings of the great in ner circle of sympathy felt by England for those of her sons who are giV- ing their lives in battle, and for the relatives who are left behind to mourn. England is very self restrained. Her subjects keep their emotions under stern control, and this national trait has given rise to the idea that she does not feel as other and. more emo tional nations feel The letter below referred to is an original which was retained by the parents of Rev. Francis Rloy, rector of St. Marks Episcopal church, at Mesa, and have reference to the death of a brother, a private in the London Scottish regiment There are yet four brothers to be offered to the God of War. Two of these are captains, one of them being on the front in France and the other at Salon ica. The two youngest. one sixteen and one seventeen are in training in Eng land. One of these ran away from home to get into the army, his par ents thinking him yet too young for the service. They gave their consent and now he is the proud voungster who recently sent them a picture stat ing that he had been recommended for a commission.
 Here is one letter.. as received by the parents of Mir Bloy. They are yet living in England the father is seventy one and the mother sixty-t three years of age.
 B. F. F. France. Feb. II, 1917. My Dear Sir:

I saw him in the place where he had been killed. soon after it happened He was lying quite at peace 1 Tt was one of those happenings which but for our Divine Lord. we might 1 have called accidental. There had been l some activity on the front of a batal- i lion near us. but not on our own front and your son was not in the very front "The officers and all his comrades | of the battalion mourn the loss of a | good soldier and a gallant comrade 1 and would like you to accent through me the assurance of their sincere sym pathy.--Will you allow me to ado the assurance of my humble prayers tc our Father for His great comfort fol you all in so inexpressible a sorrow. Forgive me also, for letting a day pass before writing. Only this afternoon did I get your' proper address.

 WIND STORM-Phoenix staged an- other of the dreaded summer sand storms last night. Sand prevailed for several hours, Wrecking many avn ings. Probably the most damage was done to the awnings of the Central Drug Store and the Hub Clothing establishment.
 DANGEROUS AWNINGS Several of the awnings damaged in the storm of Thursday evening are menacing the safety of pedestrians on the down. town streets. The loose iron oars and pipes are danger to passers-by and should be repaired. In the windstorm last evening several iron pipes struck the side walks, barely missing the head of a passing man in one ease.

PHOENIX w. ]. w.
 WILL AGAIN DANCE


 When Phoenix Camp, Woodmen of the World, arranged for an open air dance at Eastlake Park. it was under stood that it was simply one of a series of summer evening entertain ments. The committee was racking it's brains to find popular amusement. What was to follow this dance was problematical. But success attended the first affair at the park. a success that seemed to warrant a repitition. And so a second dance was held, and despite the fact that a storm came up and threatened to spoil it all. it was more of a success than the first.
 Now comes the announcement that another dance will be held next Fri day evening under the auspices of the camp. The same excellent music that has made the feet of dancers fairly tremble to get into action will be on hand. There will be refreshments and there will be games, swings and boat ing for those who do not care to dance.
 AS for the dancing, nominal charge will be made for each set and there will be so many that evervbody will be satisfied The committee in charge consists of E. R. Pryor, w. R. Plattner and F. R. Godfrey. N. c. Doheney was named a committee of one on publicity.

VALLEY. HOGS AT
 X. |. TOP MARKET

The quality of hogs raised in the vii cinity of Phoenix and also in the Salt River valley is indicated by the fact that yesterday J. G. Peterson, the well known Mesa cattleman, shipped two carloads of hogs out of Phoenix to Kansas City to be used in making serum with which to combat hog cholera. This makes about 200 car loads of hogs that MT. Peterson has shipped to that city for the same pur pose during the past year.
 When asked as to the standard of hogs that are required for serum mak- ing. Mir. Peterson said: "These hogs must be healthy young shoats in order to pass the tests. Health is the main thing Of course, we don't want to appear in the light of Dragging, but of the many carloads that we have ship ped we have received not a single complaint. You can draw your own conclusion as to the quality of the hogs grown in the valley"
 The George E. Cole Livestock com pany of Kansas City, the recipients of these hogs, have bought hundreds of carloads of valley cattle and hogs through MT. Peterson, and MT. Cole has expressed his intention of buying cattle from the valley as long as the supply lasts.
 E. A. Tovrea, leading butcher of Bis bee, is also a lively buyer of cattle from this district The soldiers around that territory have required large sup plies of meat, and since their arrival Mr Peterson has been kept on the jump to meet their demands for cattle. -O-

Accompanying this letter were two others. one @ joint epistle from two chums of the dead soldier and the other from the second lieutenant of his company. They are too lengthy for reproduction, but all show the remark able personal touch of sympathy eX- pressed in the above. When one thinks of the tremendous struggle on the west ern front, the shock of she'll the crash of opposing armies and the thousands being slain day by dav. the individual letter of sympathy and the individual relation of details as contained in the various letters seem almost beyond hu man ability.
 Perhaps, after all, this is why Eng lands sons are always for England Perhaps also this is a reason why England calmly admits her binders, knowing that her children will under stand, and doggedly fight on until the last man lies in a British cemetery somewhere in France unless sooner, the yoke of Prussion militarism is for ever broken.
