ured and large portion of the city of Halifax Nova
Scotia destroyed by the explosion of ship laden with
munitions, following collision with Belgian Red Cross
ship in the harbor Thursday morning. The disaster
is probably the greatest that occurred the Amer

Confusion to signals led to collision between the
Red Cross ship Imo and French steamer, the Mont
Blanc, as the two ships were passing through
passage into Bedford basin The Mont Blanc, which
loaded with munitions, caught fire, and exploded with
terrific force few minutes later.
The force of the explosion leveled all the houses in
two miles square, and many Of the injured
caught in the ruins and burned to death Hundreds Of
corpses have been taken from the ruined and thou
sands of wounded, many of whom will die, are in the
hastily improvised hospitals

RAY BOYS NOT
To BE ORPHANS
MUCH LONGER

At last the Ray boys in the different
training camps are to receive some
tobacco from the home folks. The
money raised by the Ray Consolidated
and Ray Hercules Copper company
among their employees and among the
merchants and their employees
amounted to $3.50. Of this 5000 was
turned over to the Woman's Commit
tee for Comfort Bags. The remainder
has been used to purchase tobacco
and this week each man from Ray,
if his address is known, will receive
three sacks of Prince Albert, one sack
of Dukes Mixture, one sack of Stud,
seven sacks of Bull Durham and three
sacks of wheat straw papers.
l. D. Rickerson purchased the to-
bacco at wholesale prices. The to-
bacco fund boxes are at the Chocolate
Shop and the Gila Valley bank for
more contributions.
Don't forget, homefolks. We don't
want the Pinal county boys called or

Thousands Killed in Halifax Disaster
sELFIsHNEss HELPS KAISER.

There are men dying a dreadful
death in France because there are
not enough bandages to have their
wounds properly dressed and these
men were fighting for the liberty
of the people in Ray. There are
men crouching this very moment
in the trenches aching with cold
and these men are standing be-.
tween the women of Ray and the
fate of the slave women of Bel
GUM. There are women in France
who consider themselves lucky if
they can get one ragged garment
to cover themselves and there are
babies wrapped in old rags and
papers. Meanwhile, there are in
Ray women who are embroidering
centerpieces and doing tatting.
The Prussian monster need only
wait; selfishness will win the war

The new state highway from Phoe-
nix to Globe via Pinal county is as
sured at last At meeting held in
Florence last Monday, attended by the
Pinal county supervisors and tax
payers from Pinal county, the matter
was gone over thoroughly.
L. S. Gates of Ray and Charles
Kumke of Superior were appointed as
a committee to call on Governor
Campbell and State Engineer Thomas
Maddox and place the proposition
before them. This they did and were
told that if Pinal county would do
nate rs per cent of the state road
fund allotted for this year and next
year the road would be built.
The answer proved agreeable to the
Pinal county supervisors and Ray will
be in close touch with Phoenix and
Globe in short time. A road from
Florence will also connect with the
highway below Superior and the Ray
Superior road broadened and re
paired
Granting of the petition, it is un-
derstood, carries with it the diver
sion for the next two years to this
project of Pinal county's seventy-five
per cent of the state road fund raised
in this county. This amounts to ap-
proximately $48,O00 each year, so that
it may be said, roughly speaking, that
100000 will be available from Pinal
county for the construction of this
road during the next two years.

counsel. Attorney Fristoe said that
Commissioner Pratt represented Ken
newick, Commissioner de Facto Nc
Neill represented Prosser while Com
missioner Bash was neutral and the
engaging of special counsel should be
left to him.
This called forth rather singing
rebuke from Mr.. Pratt, who in few
we'll chosen words served notice upon
the prosecutor that he had been elect
ed as one of Benton county's business
agents and that he was there on the
lob to represent the interests of Ben
ton county and not of Kennewick or
any other section or district. Mr.. Frls-
toe replied that he was free to confess
that he was prejudiced- in favor OF
Prosser and he had supposed that Mr..
Pratt was prejudiced in favor OF Ken
newick. Mr.. Pratt here INDUCED in
few more we'll chosen words to the
effect that his understanding had been
that the affairs of the Office of prose-
cutting attorney were supposed to be
administered in the interests of the
county as a whole and not in behalf
of any section. 49,,
When the resolution was put to a
vote it was supported by Bash and
Pratt and opposed by de Facto Nc
Neill. After allowing some bills the
board adjourned to meet again next
Monday. Commissioners Bash and
Pratt reft Wednesday for Seattle,
where they will consult one Of the
leading law firms Of that city.
