Death of Mrs. w. r. Hurley

Mrs. w. R. Hurley, Of Clifton,
died suddenly OF heart trouble at
Long Beach, Cal, on August 10Th,
aged 22 years. Mr.. and Mrs. Hur-
ley had gone to the coast on ac-
count of the 1atter's health, and
was at the home of Mr.. Hurley's
parents at the time. The remains
were brought here for burial, ar
irving Sunday afternoon, and the
funeral took place at the Methodist
Church Monday morning at nine
O clock, conducted by Rev. Jas. E.
Ferris. and the deceased was laid
to rest beside her mother in the
Benson cemetery.
Mr.. W. R. Hurley, while teach
ing in the Benson Union High
School, married Miss Una Jones
here about two years ago. Her
father. DR.. J F. Jones, of Linn,
Mo-, was making his home here
at the time, having come for the
benefit of his wffe's health Mrs.
Hurley was a highly accomplished
and attractive young woman and
before her marriage was one of
the most popular members of Ben
sons younger society.
A sad circumstance attending
the young wife's death was that
her husband was not with her
when she died, as he had been
called in the draft and had return
ed nome to Clifton to appear be-
fore the examining board.
DR.. Jones arrived Monday morn
ing from his home in Missouri to
attend the last sad ceremonies.

The Southern Pacific Road
Making improvements

The relapse of Benson from a
prosperous town into whistling
post on a blind siding seems quite
long way off yet, notwithstand-
predictions to that effect by the
pessimistic. On the contrary the
railroad company is making i'm
provemenfs to its property here
and seems more intent on building
up than tearing down.
The company carpenters during
the past week or so have peen put
ting new roofing on the round
house, damaged by a windstorm
a short time ago, recovering some
three or four hundred square yards
of space with new material. The
sides have also been repaired, new
lumber being used to take the place
of the damaged or destroyed ma
terlal.
The painters too have been max
ing showing The passenger and
freight station and the various
smaller buildings have all received
attention, the painters now being
nearly through with the work.
The action of the company in
making Benson a local freight di-
vision point is also a cause of graf
ifcation and will help in no small
way in making the wheels of trade
go round.

Road Bond Election

Supervisor J. M. Sparks, on his
return from Tombstone this week
gave some information about the
proposed road bond election. 1t
seems that the board erred, technic-
ally, in the appointment of the
county road commission simultane-
ously with the filing of the petition
asking that a road bond election be
ordered. The law requires that
there shall be a certain period elapse
between the filing of the petition
and the appointment of the com
mission provided for by the new
law. On this account it was neces-
sary to defer the election long
enough to allow correction of the
technical error.
The petition has been relied and
the election will now be held in
December instead of next month,
or as first ordered.
So far as reports indicate the vo-
ters of the county are ready and
anxious to vote for this bond issue
and have the work of permanent
road improvement begun as soon
as possible.
When the bonds are voted and
sold the money will be expended
under the direction of the follow
ing county road commission: Harry
A. Clark and w. M. Adams, of
Douglas; Capt. Hodgson and J. J..
Bowen, of Bisbee; and A. H. Gard
ner, of Tombstone. international

Government Search
for Water Supply
Geological Survey Will Help
Solve Water Problem.

To make the desert regions of
the western part of the United
States more accessible by locating
their widely separated watering
places and erecting hundreds of
signposts to give directions and dis
tances to the watering places is an
interesting and practical project
undertaken by the United States
Geological survey, Department of
the Interior. The project involves
also the work of making accurate
maps showing the locations of the
watering places, of preparing guides
describing them and giving distan-
Ces between them, of selecting we'll
sites, and of developing watering
places $50 far as money available
will permit in localities where water
is most needed and where the geo.
logic Investigations indicate that
underground supplies can be OBJ
tanned. It is expected that this
work will help to expedite the dis
covery and development of the rich
mineral deposits in parts of these
regions. 1t will, of course, also be
valuable in other respects.
In recent years the water-supply
geo1ogists of the Geological Survey
have developed trustworthy meth
DDS of locating ground water in arid
regions from surface indications
and of estimating the depth to water
and approximate annual yield of
the underground reservoirs. These
methods will be applied and fur
ther developed in connection with
the survey of desert watering pla-
ces.
A number number OF survey
parties are now being organized in
Washington and will in a few weeks
be at work in the most arid parts
of Arizona, California and Nevada.
Each party will consist of a geolo-
gist and one or more assistants and
will be provided with an automo-
bile and camping outfit.

ance of Mrs. A. c. Smith and Mr.
w. J. Bennett, made a canvass ol
the hall rafting an Eastman fold
ing pocket kodak at fifty cents g
share. The sum for a chance was
so small and the prize SO desirable
that $500 was netted for the Red
Cross. While all were anxious to
obtain it, it fell to the good fortune
of Mr.. J. w. Dixon to have Miss
Wilson draw his number as the
lucky one.
Mr.. A1fonzo Castaneda, of Los
Angeles, who is visiting his rela-
tives here. by request gave an ex-
hibition of fancy dancing which
was quite entertaining and enjoyed
by all.
Mrs. Thompson had a bevy of
attractive girls selling tickets to
the dance two weeks in advance,
offering a prize to the girl selling
the greatest number. Miss Mar
guerite Wilson sold thirty six. tick
cts, making her the fortunate win
ner of a pink crepe de chine cami-
sole.
It is estimated that about $500
will be cleared from the proceeds,
although all reports and bills are
not in yet. This money will be
used to buy material to make ban
dages and hospital garments.
The Red Cross ladies wish to
thank the public in general for the
hearty response; Mr.. Wilson for
his services; Mr., Treat for water;
Mr.. Rucker for Reduced rates on
advertising; the merchants and
ladies for contributions of sand
wiches, coffee and cakes, and each
and every member of the commit
tee for their services.

The Red Cross Dance
Monday Night
The Affair Was a Grand
Success i'm Every Way.

The Red Cross dance given
Labor Day evening was huge
success both socially and fnan-
cia1ly.
A great deal of credit is due
Mrs. E. B. Thompson, the chair
man in charge, and her corps of
able assistants, but without the
hearty cooperation of the public
the amount of money raised for the
Red Cross would have been i'm
possib1ee
An innovation in the way of a
Jazz band of colored players from
Tucson furnished the music, and
with an ideal floor, charming girls
in pretty frocks and gallant young
men and evening not soon forgot
ten was enjoyed. The guests of
the evening were Orrick Robertson
and Archie Theroux, two of Our
young men who will leave for Fort
Riley, Kansas, within the next two
weeks. These, as far as known,
were the only two officially accept
ed for service up to Monday
night.
Because of the extensive adver-
tising the dancers came from all
quarters, Tucson, Wilcox, Dra-
goon and even down the river be-
ing well represented. Mr.. Heron,
a merchant of Cascabel, disposed
of eight tickets, showing that the
interests of the red cross are be-
coming the interests or all.
The hall was most appropriately
decorated for the occasion, the
American Flag of Freedom and the
Red Cross of Mercy vieing with
each other for first place.
The Benson ladies gave of their
best cakes, which need no COM
ment, and with ice-cream, dainty
sandwiches and rich, golden coffee
the inner man was satisfied for a
nominal sum, and the Golfers of
the Red Cross were considerably
enriched. Ice water was dispensed
free during the entire evening, al

that several offered to pay.
