(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The hopes of Prescott for short road to Jerome were aroused yester- day when the board of supervisors promised to take the matter up at its earliest convenience, and to make an investigation of the ground over which it is proposed to build. The board held out hopes that a survey would be ordered as soon Gs it has complet- ed its investigations.
 This action was in response to a request put before the members at the regular monthly meeting yester- day by Harry w. Heap and J. H. Robinson, appearing for the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce, which has made the Jerome road a perman- cnt order of business. At last Thurs days meeting. the chamber of com mercc thoroughly discussed the prop osition, and determined that better than anything else for the county, MOLlu DE d SiOAl iOhAN tC lNANAAANs A'' connection, the matter of other roads was discussed, and it was believed justiiablc to build four roads, 10 cover most of the county, for the sake oi winning popular approval of the ex- penditure of fund on the proposed Jerome route.
 It is said that a new road can be opened out to Jerome through Lone some valley, at comparatively low cost. It is proposed to build the road to grade, and in less unsettled times. to cap it with concrete or some other reliable road building material of Q permanent character.
 The automobile, it is claimed, will make it to Jerome in less than two hours over the proposed road, which will be around 4O miles long.

FIRE FIGHTERS TO
 HAVE OWN GARDEN
(From Saturdays Daily.)

 A city team was used yesterday to hack up the ground, and the plot was narrowed and planted to potatoes and beans during the afternoon by the fircmcn, who will take care of the garden.
 The amateur truck farmers are not figuring on having to use very much water on this tract They believe that dry farming methods here will be amply able 10 take care of the crop.
 Quite a number of private individ- uals will blow and plant vacant space during the next week or so. The movement started by the chamber of commerce 10 increase the food pro duction of this vicinity Is being car ried out with as much rapidity as pos siblc, and it may be that consider able acreage of outside farm lands will be put into cultivation this Spring.

BIG WAGE RAISE FOR
 CON.-ARIZ. WORKINGMEN
(-GIrr0 s.AepunS moII)

Recognizing the fact that the high cost of living is constantly growing higher, and that in the face of the war, it is difficult to secure and keep first class mechanics and industrial workers, the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company has put into effect a general raise in wages of l21l per cent, based on the wages paid during times when copper sold at between Is and IS cents pound. The raise went into effect on May 1, and touches the entire crew of the reduction works and the two mines operated by the company
 In addition to this raise, the men receive the regular bonuses paid with the high prices of the output. Many thousands of dollars have been added to the payrolls by this move. A laborcr receiving S4 day is raised to S4.5 SO beside his bonuses.
 At the smeltcr, there are now prac- tically 400 men working steadily. The forces at the Blue Bell and De Soto mines number POO, so that the raise goes to at least 600 men in the me chanical departments of the com pany's plants. It is understood that office men arc also to benefit by the company's new policy. but just how their raises will be paid has not been given out.

ASK GOVERNMENT FOR AUTHORITY
 ID FLY FLAG
(From Tuesdays Dailv.)


 There has been considerable local criticism over the fact that no United States flag is flying at Fort Whipplc, the sergeant in charge being seeming ly in the public mind the party to blame. Captain Nelson, who is here recruiting for the First Arizona in fantry, inquired into the matter yes terday and ascertained that Whipplc being an abandoned post the sergeant had no right under war departmcn: regulations to display the colors, hence is not ccnsurablc in any way.
 While Captain Nelson was in the Journal-AIincr office yesterday eX- plaining the above facts, H. \. Cole man was standing at the counter. "lt is very peculiar thing" Inc said. "that there is a piece of soil in the United States where the flag cannot be dis played and I am willing to stand the expense of tclcgraphing Congressman Hayden asking him to sec the war department at once and have it send the necessary orders" The sugges- ton was heartily endorsed by Cap tain Nelson and as result the wire was used to get action. It is there fore likely that Fort Whipplc, even though not used by the government, will soon be as patriotic a spot as the rest of Prescott.

BILL WILL OWE
 SOME BILL FOR THE WAR

NEW YORK, May 3.-According to adviccs from Paris, where statis- iicians are as busy as waiter in a high priced restaurant figuring out the bad news" for Germany, all that the Kaiser will owe the Entente as an in demnity when he gets through losing the war will be Sl20.000 00O,0O0. This figure includes nothing for the war expenditures of the United States.
 The first hay impression will be that there isn't any such sum. The second will be an attempt on the part of the reader to try to reduce 1t some what by blue pcnciling a few dang ling siphcrs and calculating the re mainder in trillionS. But, ncvcrthc- less, NJ. Jean Pinot, the well known expert in European affairs, not only insists that there is this amount of money in the world, but that Ger many will be able financially to make this vast restitution. The bill as made out by NJ. Pinot does not take into consideration monetary rccompcnsc for loss of life to the Allies, which might be made in a separate account of S2SOOO, O,OOO,OOO- 1000 per man for 1000 GOO Allied soldiers already either killed or totally disabled.
 With regard to Gcrmany's ability to foot this bill as well as to meet her obligations 10 her own people, NJ. Pinot says:
 The first condition of peace must be based on this rigid principle, which applies to all affairs in human life, that he who causes damage to others must pay for it. There is nothing in the principle of war iudcmnitics which
 hits at thc liberty Of peoples, thc indc
 pcndcncc of small nations. or the great ideal of the Entente Allies. Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria are completely ruined and need not be considered, but Germany can pay. i Her national prc-war fortune was as
