Apache and Yuma counties

Apache and Yuma counties were we'll represented in both branches of the third legislature. Colter of Apache and Winsor of Yuma aided by the senior senator from Cochise, made a trio of statesmen who were far above the average. The representatives from both Apache and Yuma were ever on the side of human rights. Such men do not meas ure virtue, human welfare and moral advancement by the guage of the sordid medium of exchange the big round dollar. The Mes Senger, Phoenix. @@

 The board of supervisors con vened in regular monthly session on this date at the hour of g a.m.; there being present Chairman Heber Jarvis, Members w. A: Saunders and John c. Hall and Levi s. Udall, Clerk.
 Minutes of the previous regu- lar session wee read and apprOv- ed. Outdoor relief for the month of March was ordered paid.

Bouldin, Supt. of Health, was granted a leave of absence from the state for a per iod of six weeks, dating from February 20th, 1917.
 In the matter of the petition from residents of Vernon, Spring lake and vicinity and also sign ed by residents from Navajo county residing at Taylor and Snowflake, asking the board of supervisors to declare the road known as the "Dick Greer Auto mobile Road" as a county road, said road leading from ConchO via Springlake to Taylor After a consideration of the matter it was ordered by the board that the Notice of Presentation of Peti- tion" be first posted as required by law Paragraph 5057 R. V. $. 1913 and that then the board would take some action in the matter.

The matter was fully considered and it was d'cided not to accept his offer at this time, ] in view of the fact that the book was to go to press the early part of March, and the Board felt that it did not give them sufficient time to have copies of the chapter pre- sented to them for their consider ation and approval.

partment this afternoon in a lengthy
cipher dispatch from Ambassador
Francis, at Petrograd. Code experts
of the department are now decipher-
ing the message.
II, as is expected, the report shows
that the Russian Duma is in com
plete control and has erected a de
facto government able to cope with
the situation, the American Govern
ment probably will lose no time in
extending provisional recognition.
In the meantime the Russian en-
bassy is being kept completely in the
dark as to developments, and Am
baSsador Bakmeteff Is considerably
disturbed over his failure to get d.
rect news.
In the hope of learning something
definite he called on Secretary of
State Lansing this morning. Up to
that time Mr.. Lansing had not been
informed that the message from Mr..
Francis was arriving. Consequently
the Russian Ambassador remained
but a few minutes. When he emerged
his agitation was noticeable. As
usual, however, he would say moth
ing.
The general impression in Wash
ington is that while 1t is probably
too early for such a development,
Bakmetef is certain to be recalled.
Reactionary in the extreme, his whole
career has been closely associated
with the house of Romanoff.

UNREST IN GERMANY
Trouble Results From News of Russ
ReVoIutionIsts' Success.

AMSTERDAM, March I7.-Unrest
in Germany has been accelerated by
the Russian revolution. Even those
elements of the German people who
favor autocratic control have been
affected by the news from Petrograd,
seeing therein the failure of German
plans and the certainty that instead
Of Russia growing weaker, she is like
ly to grow stronger with a new gov
eminent.
Dispatches today from Vienna de-
clared the Russian revolution had
created a profound impression there.
That the government did not regard
this impression as one favorable to
continuance Of the military autocracy
was indicated in the return to the
Austrian capital of the Emperor and
the departure from Berlin for Vienna
OF Imperial German Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg.
Meanwhile German newspapers hail
the chancellor's speech as one OF the
most momentous in German history.
