REWARD BRINGS SLACKERSFR0M
 HIDING PLACES
With Fifty Dollars Offered
 for Their Apprehension A They Are Hurrying to Get Into Federal Service

The SlackerS are coming out of the brush. according to Colonel Breen who has heard from several of the sheriffs Of the state who notify the state official that they have rounded up numerous delinquent men of military age, some of whom have neglected to register, and some who. having registered, have failed to report for examination.
 The $50 reward offered by ,ne gov ernment for the delivery of any stacker to the nearest mobilization camp also has had an effect. In addition to the many officials who are on the look out for the wanted ones there are many civilians who are attracted by the re- ward and are giving information to the officials concerning the whereabo of many delinquent ones.
 Those who haven't been paying much attention to the draft are begin ming to look up," declared Colonel Breen yesterday after having received q wire from the sheriff of Pinal county stating that he had picked up a lot of alleged delinquent ones and was hold ing them subject to the orders of Colo nel Breen. That official wired the Pinal couny sheriff to turn his prisoners over to the United States marshal
 ANXIOUS to EnIiSt
 With his eyes wide open with ap- prehension, young man from Pima county presented himself in the office of Colonel Breen and stated that he wanted to enlist, and he didn't seem to care in what branch of the service it was: he just wanted to get into Uncle Sam's service right away.
 Alter questioning, the young man stated that he had received no notice of having been drafted, but his appear ance and his unsatisfactory answers convinced Colonel Breen that all was not right, and that the young man was considerably worried about the $50 re- ward hanging over the head of slackers.
 Communication with the sheriff of Pinal county brought the information that the particular young man disap- peared instead of answering to his summons. When confronted with the evidence, he admitted his guilt. The official, however, took the best course and sent the young man on to the mo- biliZation camp, trip that he was very glad to make. He is now in Camp runston.
 So tar as the reports received at Colonel Breen's office show. the third contingent went to Camp Funston in good shape and with no men short. By grape vine" telegraph comes the in formation that the fourth and last con tingent of fifteen per cent from Arizona will leave for Camp Funston on October + or whereabouts. This is not official, however.

 The road is to be standard guage," said MT Zander, and is generally supposed to be built by the McGaf- fee Lumber company. They expect to complete the road by this time next year when it will be ready to take out millions of feet of lumber yearly.
 Arizona has the largest unbroken timber belt in the United States, and this road will tap the finest part of that belt in the White mountains, and under government regulation will never become exhausted. There is now being sawed by five big mills at Flagstaff and Williams fifty million feet of lumner annually. The gov eInment experts estimate that there Is enough timber in that belt in this state to saw two hundred million feet of lumber annually perpeptually. and this road now under construction will make it possible to reach that maxi num- It also develops one of the finest dry farming belts in the state.

END F|RE WASTE
 WOULD ID MUCH
 TO WIN THE WAR
Money Saved in U. s. in Single Year Would Build
 Base Hospital on Every
 Mile of Battle Front

Fire prevention day, now nationally observed. comes on Tuesday, October g, that being the anniversary of the great Chicago fire. Observance of the day is now given to instructing the people that large per cent of the fires are needless and can easily be pre- vented. To that end Governor Camp bell has issued proclamation.
 Since the beginning of our partici patton in the present struggle fire has been Germanys most powerful ally. Its operations have crippled munitions plants, raZed hundreds of factories, destroyed thousands of acres of timber and field crops and obliterated hun dreds of thousands of,bushels of grain in warehouse and elevator It is un- ceasins in it's activities, working night and day, bringing devastation to countless homes and eXacting a terri ble toll of lives.
 If every tenant and property owner in Maricopa county and in Ari-t Zona will take the simple precaution on October to remove every apparent aid to the possibility of fire, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be saved in Arizona during the next year alone. Most of the fires are caused by care lessness; the rubbish heaps in lanes
 
 other inflamables in stores and ware houses; matches or cigar and cigarette stumps thrown aside while still alight; all these idiotic actions tend to in- crease a toll which in one year in the United States would. as Governor Campbelfs proclamation recites, pro- duce enough money to construct base hospital, capable for caring for 800 sick or wounded, for every half mile on all the European battle fronts. Following is the text of the proclama- tion:
 Whereas. Fire in the United States burns up annually a sum three times greater than the annual interest on the two billion dollar Liberty Loan, or an amount sufficient to construct base hospital capable of caring for 800 sick or wonded for every half mile on all the European battle fronts.
 Whereas, October g. 1917, is the forty sixth anniversary of the Chicago fire and this day has come to be cele- brated in the majority of the states of the Union, when all property owners and good citizens take stock of their fire liability and adopt such immediate methods of fire prevention as are pos sible. { Now, therefore. I would urge that | on this day owners of property, house. holders and citizens do their utmost to remove all fire hazards and thus assist in cutting down this fearful annual toll, every cent of which is needed in : the present eXigency. and recommend that mayors of all cities within this state make such provision with the fire departments thereof as may furnish proper cooperation with such energies on the part of our citizens. !

He has become very discouraged in the hope that Phoenix would do any thing. He states that nearly all these cars would come over the White Mountains to Phoenix if they could get through. This travel is in creasing rapidly, as each year shows from 20 to 30 per cent increase over the preceding year. Being all trans continental cars, if diverted to Phoe- nix this travel would mean a large expenditure in the Salt River valley to say nothing of other advantages to be mentioned

Most counties in the north have the work well advanced, but on my return I find that the treasurer of Maricopa county has made the best showing of all in the volume of taxes collected since he began his campaign to bring these taxes into the country treasury.
 T also made the trip to check up the cattle shipments in the north, and for this purpose took with me Mir. Ed w. Stephens, secretary of the state live stock sanitary board and with his able assistance and the thorough willingness of the live stock inspectors l secured the best and practically the only complete record of cattle shipments ever had in Co., conino county.
