avail.

Bates County Christian Endeavor

promising future in the business
world before him, and he left q

A Difference of Votes.

It's remarkable fact" the
professor said, THAT the differ.
ence of only a few hundred miles
in Europe often makes the Ian
guage OF people unintelligible to
their nearest neighbors."
"Quite So"
Whereas a Californian easily
can be understood by a New
Yorker.
THAT used to be the case, but
since the presidential election.
New Workers swear they can't

Grand Jury Reports.

The Bates County grand jury,
after being in session nearly two
weeks, adjourned Friday. Bates
county is undoubtedly getting
more law abiding all the time.
The time was, not SO many years
ago, that the meeting Of the grand
jury was the signal for a number
Fof Butler citizens to have urgent
business in Kansas City, or some
where else until after it had ad-
journed. But it is different now
adays. After the eleven days of
diligent work on the part of the
body two indictments were re-
turned. The following is their
report as made to the Circuit
Court:
We, the members Of the grand
jury for the February term, 1917,
beg to submit the following re-
port:
We have visited the county in
situations and recommend that
the county court see that there IS
a general cleanup around the Jail
and court house at least once
month.
In regard to the Jail, would
recommend steel lining where
needed on the second floor. Also
a general ovcrhauling of the locks
to make the jail secure. Also,
the painting and papering Of the
floors, walls, etc, and we recon-
mend chains rivetcd on cots in
stead of bars as supporters. We
also recommend the immediate re-
pairing of the south wall to the
new addition.
We also visited the County In
Urinary and are pleased to report
that we found it sanitary in every
particular.
We found the county offices
clean and sanitary and records
well kept.
We found the shutter to the
window of the room where the
county records are kept in the
Probate Judges office in bad
shape to keep out fire or burg
lars.
We find that the mems toilet
in the court house in a very in
condition.
We also recommend that the
city officials of Butler exert more
vigilance in enforcing and obey
ing the statutory laws.
We also recommend that the
county attorney see that the laws
in regard to slot machines and
punch boards are enforced.
We think that IL rods Of chick
en- wire should be furnished the
County Infirmary to keep chick
ems out of the flower garden, as a
nice flower garden would add
greatly to the beauty of the home.
We also recommend that the
county court install a telephone
in the ladies rest room in the
court house, and also place a sign
for the room that can be plainly
read from the streets, as the
county is full Of women who do
not know there is such a place.

Work Soon To Commence
 On Addition To Normal

The new wing to be added to the main building of the North ern Arizona Normal school at Flagstaff, for which the last le- gislature appropriated $75, 900 is to be started at once, according to the members of the state com mission for institutions which visited the school on July 4. The new wing will contain class rooms and a much-needed audi torium.
 The last legislature declined to appropriate the necessary money to erect a dormitory at the Flagstaff Normal, although it was much needed. There is not sufficient room to care for 1917-18 registration, it is decIar- ed. In as much as it will be two years before a legislative appro- Driation possibly can be made, it will be three years before a dormitory can be started. The officials are puzzled to know what to do until that time.
 The Flagstaff Normal differs from the Tempe Normal in that the school runs twelve months of the year. The present sum- mer registration is about 200, one-half of the winter registra- ton. - Flagstaff Sun

Cattle Brands Number IS, 500

Cdtte Brands Number Is, ,5OO
 More than IS, 800 cattle brands are on file at the state house in the office of the Live Stock San itary board. These are the in- dividual property of cattlemen of Arizona, some now dead, some living. and represent all the known brands since the earliest days when brands first were placed on record to prevent du- plication and for the purpose of protecting cattle from theft by appropriating another brand.
 One of the largest tasks in the office of Live Stock Sanitation board is to keep these many thou sand brands ready for quick ref erence. When application is made for a brand these 18.5O0 and more brands must be search ed to find if the applied for brand already is not taken.
 To reduce this work and also because many of these brands have been abandoned, the board is asking for relinquishment of cattle brands. In letters sent to board requests that they sign re- linquishment of all brands which are not at present in use.

prostitution. Bail in the sum of $100 each was required of the women. and s25 each of the men. Yelton and Smith soon secured their release under bail and soon afterwards bail was furnished for Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Crane was still in the city jail last evening.
 The raid of yesterday morning was not the first that had been made CT.
 rand avenue house. Some two or three weeks ago both Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Crane were arrested charged with prostitution. They appeared in court and upon conviction were fined twenty five dollars each. At the same time the city magistrate and the chief of police warned them that they would be arrested promptly if they at tempted to resume operations Be- fore their departure from police court they promised to comply with the law
 Recently reports have been coming to the police station of the activities of the two and a watch keps of the house. Men are said by the police to have been seen going and coming frequently to and from the house The raid of yesterday morning was effected after the police had positive evidence that there were men in the house. The cases of the four arrested are set for trial in police court this afternoon at four o'clock.

@ars to the allied cause through sub- marine sinkings.
 While working on this problem, Mir Clark conceived the idea of the con- crete ship and offered it to the ship ping board, but the board did not wish to make the experiment. Since his re- tirement from government service MT. Clark has perfected his design and has interested business men in it. A com pany with large capital has been formed to build the new ships. and in few months some of them will un- doubtedly be in the water.
 The concrete ship has a steel frame work and heavy steel wire, like net ting, stretches from one part of the frame to another Wet concrete is ap- piled to this much as in ordinary con- "rete construction. It is said in behalf of the plan that ships can be built ! more quickly and at less cost than steel ships. After ways have been constructed it is estimated that con- crete vessel can be turned out in sixty to ninety days and that the cost will not be more than one-third to one i half that of steel or wood construc- 1 tion And the advantage of this style | of construction is that it will draw up- on a wholly new supply of labor and no high degree of skill or training will | be necessary. The labor supply is free of the important limiting factors in bot hsteel and wooden ship building. 1 Apparently something similar to this | is being done in Norway, which has suffered seriously from the ravages of | the German submarine. According to report sent to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce here. Norway is experimenting with what are de- scribed as stone ships" or "steelbe- ton" ships. made of frames of steel and plates of "beton." A big barge o1 | this sort has been constructed and was l so successful that small ocean going ship is now in process of construction Like the concrete ship. the "stone ship" of Norway costs only about hall as much to build as a steel ship and can be built much faster.
 Many efforts are being made by in ventors to solve the shipping problem | One of the most interesting was brought to The Tribune office by tht | inventor, William c. Elliott. He was referred to the shipping board. where
 his plan is being considered with some favor
 His idea was a wooden ship with { 1 solid hull up to the water line. Thi.
 ship would have two advantages. I
 would be non-sinkable by torpedo And being of solid wood up to tn,
 water line. it could probably be built
 as the inventor claims, like a raft il
 the water without ways. This woul'
 mean a great saving of time, as pro
 viding ways is what stands in the wa,
 of prompt building of ships in thi T country.
 The solid hull design would only b
 practicable in large ships. in which tn
 sacrifice of space would not be con
 siderable on account of the economy o
 carrying in large bottoms. The chic
 doubt which arose in the mind of tn
 shipping board engineer who studio
