WORK PROGRESSING ON
 NEW WOODRUFF DAM

By action taken last week at a meeting of the stockholders in the Woodruff Irrigation district, com mittee of three was appointed to di- rect the work of rebuilding the dam in the Little Colorado river. This committee is composed of P. T. Cole man, John R. Hulet and s. F. Smith.
 The stockholders agreed that Engi- neer Hinderlider should continue the work and s. D. Smithers should act as superintendent of construction. This action is satisfactory to all land owners in the district and it insures the early completion of the work.
 MT. Smithers is competent man and he has had great deal of ex- perience in construction work. He was in Holbrook last Sunday hiring all the men he could find, and stated to the News that he expected to have the dam completed in about 40 days, provided he could secure sufficient number of men.-Holbrook News.

NORTH ARIZONA HAS
 PROMISING OIL BOOM

Northern Arizona is in the thoes of an oil excitement, according to Ru- dolph Kuckler, member of the state tax commission, who has just return ed to Phoenix from trip to Holbrook, where he was for two days on busi- ness connected with the commission.
 "A test well is being sunk near Holbrook," said MT. Kuckler, land the people are greatly excited over the prospects of discovering oil in large quantities. There appears to be strong evidences of the presence of oil as the we'll goes down deeper, and the oil fever spreads accordingly.
 "With the building of the new rail- road from Holbrook to the great lum- Der belt in the White Mountains and the prosperity of the lumber industry in that locality, Holbrook is on the boom and the people are confident that the town is to have a rapid growth in the near future.

RAILROADS MOVING SUGAR.

It is denied emphatically that large quantities of beet sugar are being stored because cars cannot be had to haul it to eastern markets. The short age of sugar is due principally to the fact that this country has not curtail- ed consumption while exports have materially increased. Beet sugar is being distributed through govern ment committee in Chicago which may have to store some sugar tempo rarily at central railway points. The beet sugar production in the United States this year amounts to about S00,000 tons, all of it turned out prac- tically within three months. It is con- sidered that the railroads deserve great credit for the manner in which they are handling the large tonnage at the present time.

Ne,Us of Interest Gathered Here and There in the State
MOHAVE COUNTY OFFICIALS
 ARE HURT IN AUTO WRECK

Four officials of Mohave County narrowly escaped death Wednesday afternoon when the machine in which they were riding turned turtle as it failed to negotiate a sharp turn in the Topock road, ten miles south of Nee dies.
 In the party were Supervisor Chas. Lynch, District Attorney Stewart Sheriff Cohenour and County Eigi- neer Bob Blum. Blum was driving the car.
 All four occupants were pinned be- meath the up-turned car, but Stewart who was the only one able to free himself, soon crawled out. With the help of the county road crew, which happened to be working close by, the other three men were soon freed from the car. At first it was thought Lynch was dead. The top of the back of the front seat was lying across his neck. Both he and Cohenour were unconscious The latter, while not seriously injured was painfully bruised about the face and left side. The injured men were rushed to this city where Dr Parke, treated them. Supervisor Lynch was placed aboard a train for Los Ange. les that night.-Needles Nugget.

Washington, d. C.-Challenging Mrs.

AUTO MAKING TO Be HALTED
Supply Of Material for Pleasure We
hIeles to BE Used In Making
Aeroplanes for Army.

Washington. manufacture Of
pleasure automobiles must be greatly
curtailed to conserve the supply OF
steel so urgently needed to supply the
demands of manufacturers engaged in
war industries.
It is estimated that not less than
100000 tons of steel are used an
nually in the manufacture of pleasure
automobiles in this country.
This means a reduction by that
amount of the supply Of that metal
available for the manufacture of parts
for airplanes, for ships needed for the
merchant marine, for munitions. for
barbed-wire entanglements at the
front and for the thousand and one
things that go to make up the equip
ment for the army that this govern
ment is straining every nerve to make
effective as an aid to the allies.

FARMERS ASK FOR ELP'ALIENS MUST REGISTER
WAY DEVISED TO sIFT OUT GER.
MAN ELEMENT.
English Program Up for ConsIdera,
ton, and Proclamation ls
Expected Soon.

Washington. President Wilson Ia
expected to issue a proclamation soon,
requiring every alien enemy within
the United States to register, as q
step toward Kidding the country Of
spies and sabotage.
The government has virtually decid.
ed that this procedure IL the only way
open for sitting from the million Ger.
mans In the United States the few
who are believed to be causing fires in
munitions plants, grain elevators and
warehouses and promoting propaganda
injurious to Americas prosecution Of
the war.
1t IL probable the plan will be
worked out after the English program.
The recent increase in number of
disastrous fires and indications Of re-
newed operations of enemy propagan-
dists have prompted officials to con
slider more radical steps against Ger
man residents than the restrictions
heretofore imposed, barring them
from a half-mile zone about munitions
plants and government property with
out special government permits.
Under the proposed registration
plan, Germans would be given a speci
fled time, probably several weeks, In
which to report their names, occupa.
tons and family or business connec
tons to postmasters or some other
government agency.
Those not registered then would be
rounded up and prosecuted, and Off.
Gals believe that the failure Of some
to enroll would give valuable clews to
the identity of suspicious persons,
whose conduct and interests might be
carefully scrutinized.
Some officials recommend that every
alien enemy SO registered be required
to report periodically to the govern.
ment so watch might be maintained
over his movements.
Under present conditions, Germans
may move fro none locality to anoth
er without hindrance, providing they
do not enter the barred zones about
munitions plants and government e.
adjustments.

DECLARES AUSTRIA AND TURKEY
SHOULD COME UNDER Dis.
PLEASURE.
HAVEALWAYS HELPED KAISER
Overthrow Of Entire Autoeraey Only
Way by Which World Can Be
Made safe for Democracy
and Humanity. y

Princeton, N. J.-Theodore Roose
welt, in an address here, declared that
to make the world safe for democ-
racy" demands an immediate decla-
cation Of war by this country against
Austria and Turkey. He urged that
the United States take some action
toward establishing permanent pol
lty Of preparedness, and compared
pacifists and pro-Germans to disinte-
grating forces In Russia.
1--WE announced that our purpose
was to make the world safe for de-
mocracy," said Col. Roosevelt. This
pledged us to immense sacrifices in
a hard and dangerous crusade, Inn
mensely righteous, but for an object
In which our own concern was slight.
Grievance Was Against Germany.
''Our grievance was against Ger
many, and we could with honor have
Joined with our allies to war against
her until she was overthrow and
than make peace in such a fashion as
TO guarantee justice to them and to
rs and to make the world q little
safer for all OF us in consequence. But
a pledge to make the world safe for
democracy is q solemn engagement to
smash the two nations which most
bonspicuously make democracy unsafe
within their own borders, Austria and
Turkey.
"This war has shown that Austria
has become subject ally OF Germany
and an enemy ,of freedom and civili-
ration. Unless we resolNtely intend
20 break up both Austria and Turkey
and insist ON liberty for the subject
races in the two countries our talk
about Making the world safe for
democracy is a sham"
Col. Roosevelt compared the agi-
tators Of the. Industrial Workers OF
the World and German-American Sos
Cialists to the forces Of anarchy and
despotism in Russia, who, he said,
under the leadership of demagogues
and sinister or impractical doctrines,
become the worst foes of liberty and
democracy.

Buffalo.-The Farmers Nonpartisan
league invited organized labor In con

J. The invitation was extended in q
smashing speech by President A. C.

delegates listened, pending compile
ton OF their detailed war program in

Let the two great classes Of pro

this war" pleaded Townley.
LET US wipe out the middleman
Let us put down the profiteer. We
would find in a surprisingly short
time our people at home will be bet
ter and more economically fed, our
forces at the front better and more
economically equipped"
Remember this would be coalition
The farmers represent 81 per cent
labor rs per cent of the nations vot
ing strength"
This speech inaugurated a whirl
wind tour of the east by Townley, who
comes from the leagues headquarters
in st. Paul to boost his politico-agri
cultural organization.
Committees now in conference have
more than 1900 resolutions before
them. Several bitterly denounce the
postal censorship on newspapers. Not
one refers to CONSUMPTION of wealth,
One which promises to end in a
fight on the floor Of the convention
proposes no worker be accepted in
the federation who is not a citizen OF
the United States or not declared his
intention.

MISUNDERSTANDING Of War Baker
in an address before the National Con

danger Of woman and child labor dur
ing the war. He said
I'VE cannot afford, when losing
boys in France, to lose children al
home. With the great drain which we
will suffer in France because Of the
casualties of war, we cannot afford a
great drain upon the nation here al
home, because of the LIBERALIZATION OF
our youth.
There is a possibility that We shall
