WALLS RAPIDLY CLIMB;
 COURT HOUSE GROWS
(From Fridays Daily.)

Now that part of the wall of the court house is three stories above ground, some idea of the proportions of the building may be gained The tuge round bases for the massive Greek columns to adorn the steps and entrances of the building, have been delivered.
 As the outer walls go up, solid con. crete backing is poured, and mean while, the interior concrete walls and reinforced concrete floors arc being put in as rapidly as the granite IS laid The workmen arc now constructing what will eventually be the court room. This room, it is said, will be inc most impressive throne of law and justice in the State, not excepting the Federal court room in the big Federal building at Phoenix, which is rarrow and crampcd in comparison with the Yavapai court room
 There will be other buildings as big, but none as impressive looking in Arizona. This court house is but the second really modern county building to be put up in this State. Stafford, county scat of Graham coun- ty, has the first new court house.

 GRANT WAS RIGHT
 IN AUTO SMASH-UP
(From Sundays Daily)

That w. II. Grant was driving at reckless rate of speed and not ob- serving due care when he met a Santa Fc switching train at grade crossing in Humboldt last Winter, is the charge made in an answer to Grants suit for $500 against the company for the damages alleged to have been done to his car. The answer was filed yesterday by Norris & Norris.
 The answer denies that Grants car was worth the sum he mentioned, that it was damaged to the extent he claimed, that he was making SEQ a day clear in the rent business, and that he has anything coming to him as result of the collision. Grant had alleged that the train backed into his car, no signals having been given In the answer. it is stated that the train was moving at not to exceed four miles an hour and that the bell was ringing.

WILL RIDE FOR BR0NCH0
 TITLE HERE
DOC PARDEE AND BOB ANDERSON TO DEFEND CHAMPIONSHIP THEY SPLIT LAST YEAR; THE CONTEST INTERESTING.

Much interest IS centering around the worlds champion broncho riding contest, which will be held this year during Frontier Days; Sl,000 in cold cash will be hung up for prizes in this event.
 The first prize is S400 cash and the diamond-mounted worlds champion ship gold medal; the second prize, S250; third, $100; fourth, $50. Doc" Pardee has held the title during the past year but as the money prize was divided between Bob Anderson and Doc" Pardee, both must again con- test in the arena. The above prizes will be awarded at the end of the contest. In addition the following day moneys will be awarded: July 2, SS0; July }, $50; July 4, $40. Twenty dollars will be awarded to each of the top contestants for the day. The entrance fee is S20 with IA chances to win It back.
 Prescott's claim to a worlds cham pionship contest is based upon the fact that the winner of the first prize and gold medal must contest for the medal and his title as champion at any place in the world where as high purse is offered and the same riding rules govern. If no other organiza- tions makes bid for the champion ship, the holder of the title and medal must contest for the same at Pres- colt in 1918. The first rider to win the medal two consecutive years will retain it as his property and the From tier Days management will provide new medal for the following years championship contest or contests.

MILLER VALLEY SCHOOL MAKES
 FINE RECORD
GRADUATES CLASS OF 4, EXCEPTIONAL NUMBER IN PROPORTION TO GEN. SUS RATING; ENJOYABLE EXERCISES BY PUPILS.
(From Tuesdays Dsily.)

The hrst graduating exercises Tn the history of the Miller valley public school were held at the handsome new building last Friday evening. The class consisted of four members. Wayne II. Ahlrich, Robin Ahlrich, Robert Vincent and George Allan. This class ranked second in number in the county, in proportion to the school census.
 The splendid literary program rem dcrcd was a credit to the school and to those participating, in which all pupils acquitted themselves in man ncr to receive the highest commcnda- tion. The entertainment throughout reflected the capability of the Misses Annie NJ. and Mary r. McEachran, the teachers, and who are classcd as among the best in the State. There was very large attendance and the appreciation of all was kccnly shown by the sincerity of expression as each selection was given.
 One of the amusing numbers, The Washing Machine" was very clever. Charley Chaplins and Cholly Boys were ground out at a moments notice.
 "Thc Earth Child in FairyIand," portrayed by the little boys and girls as Brownies was exceptionally good Each little Brownie was at his best.
 The closing number was a ribbon drill in which fair Columbia played an important role. Columbia carried very beautiful shield, the artistic work of Henry F. Hunter, Jr., of Camp Bcauvor.
 The musical numbers were pro duccd by the magnificent Edison ma chine, owned by Mrs. B. r. Denny. and kindly loaned for the occasion.
 County Superintendent of Schools W. Curtis Miller in very pleasing and appropriate address. presented the diplomas. He commented, cs- pccialIy, upon the splendid attitude of the larger boys in carrying out and assisting generally in making the pro- gram such d pronounced success.
 The Misses McEachran have been retained for another year at an ad- vance in salary. The Miller valley patrons are, therefore, assured of an other very successful school year.

WILL PUSH WORK ON NEW SHORT
 LINE ROAD
DIRT BEGINS FLYING AT TURKEY STATION FOR NEW RAILWAY DURING JULY; TO TAP OLD MIN ING COUNTRY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The Prescott & Phoenix Short Line Railway will begin construction out of Turkey station on July Is, was the statement made yesterday by E. H. Wilson, managing director, who ar rived from Phoenix to make Prescott his base of operations and from this point to direct all business.
 Mr. Wilson states the preliminary survey engineers are making good progress in laying out line, and are now passing through the Black Can yon country, completing sufficient of permanent grade to warrant work to begin. The railway will not parallel the wagon road as was generally be- licved but will pass through a region where many copper mines are to be tapped, and at a higher elevation, to avoid heavy grades on Arastra creek hill and other similar places. The old survey made by the Southern Pa cihc many years ago, when it was projected through Black canyon from Phoenix to Prescott, is not being fol- lowed, but instead a winding road through the mining region on the eastern slope of the Bradshaw range has been selected All of the Tiptop mining country as well as the Castle Creek region, will find an outlet by rail of less than six miles. The propo. stion is said to be fully financed, and as well arc several mining companies along the route assured of ample funds with which to begin operating.
