ARIZONA LAWS PROVE TOO
 SEVERE FOR TEXAN; LEAVES

BISBEE, Mar. 14.-"John Doe Villa" forfeited $50 bail in Judge M. c. Highs court yesterday when he failed to appear to answer to charge of carrying a gun. MT. Villa, gen tleman of Texas, was arrested on Brewery Gulch Saturday night by Dep uty Sheriff Jack Ryan while toting A calibre automatic.
 "Why can't I pack this here shootin' iron?" asked the offended Texan.
 Because it's against the law" re- piled Ryan.
 What law?' asked the prisoner.
 '"The law of Arizona.
 'Sufferin' cats, this here Arizona ain't no place for me, then" said the gent from the Lone Star state. 'Lemme get out on bail an please tell me the quickest way out O this here state"
 'tAll right" replied Ryan. Whats your name?"
 Whats the name of this here out law down in Mexico?"
 Villa Well, pardner, my names John Doe Villa, get that? An as soon as | I separate myself from these 50 iron men I'm goin' back to Texas. He evidently did.

CONTRACT IS GIVEN FOR RAILROAD ID
 THE J. '. EX.

The Verde districts most important development of the week attended the return from the east of James s. Douglas, president of the United Verde Extension. Wednesday, the day fol- lowing his arrival, MT. Douglas let a contract for the grading of a standard gauge railroad from the Verde Valley lines terminal, at Clarksdale, to the site of the Extension shelter, little over four miles south, says the Je- rome News.
 This piece of railroad is to be built at once Fleming & Stitzer, the con tractors, already have about twelve men and several teams at work. Three carloads of rock are coming in next week, after which work will be rush. ed forward with 75 teams and over 100 men on the job. A boarding house has been erected for the en- ployes of the contractors.
 When asked Thursday if it was true that construction of the railroad would be continued from the new shelter site to Mesa, MT. Douglas replied:
 'Ft is not We expect to build such an extension sometime in the flu. ture, but not now. Indeed, none are contemplating construction of any kind at this time except such as is imperative All are waiting until the end of the war and the return of steel and other construction materials tC such figures as will permit their use in the expansion of business through

new enterprises. Present prices rep resent a greater burden upon new en- terprises than those can conceive who are not absolutely compelled to con front them. Our shelter will cost us 75 percent more than it would have cost three years ago, and then some High prices on steel, lumber and all mining materials, together with freights. I may add, are 1mpos- ing a little realized burden upon operators.
 Study the reports of the mining companies in this respect and you will get some astonishing informa- tion. Take the item of freight in our case alone. We paid over s9O0,000 last year to the railroad from Clak- dale. Of course, our own line to Mesa would not be long in paying for itself at that rate, but never freight to the Santa Fe for a while tban to buy materials and build at the present excessive prices. When the railroad is extended to Mesa it WILL De uHueT Iuo AIlLond IIdllIOdu Extension corporation, formed some time since and financed for building that is contemplated, including the extension to Mesa"
 MT. Douglas since his return has spent a good deal of time under ground at Verde Extension and in personal touch with affairs of the Ecompany in his offices. He has no; failed, however, to pay daily visits to Jerome and has been greeted or the streets with pleasure by great many friends. He has expressed himself as pleased with Verde EX tensions physical condition and witf the general situation in the district.

bility,
One of the first lessons driven
home by the war was the necessi-
ty OF putting a crimp in the op-
GRAFTON of John Barleycorn. In
every nation at war restrictions
against liquor were very greatly
strengthened. In the U. S. this
movement fitted in with q senti-
inent that was already growing
powerful and that was gradually
procuring prohibition for III g
whole country. But the impetus
given by the dangers of drink Us
brought in strong relief by war
demands was most powerful and
accelerated the movement verify
decidedly.
The memphis Commercial Ap.
peal calculates that seventy five
million of the hundred million
people of the United States are
prohibitionists. That is not too
liberal an estimate we feel sure.
Wherever prohibition is tried, it
sticks. 1t reduces crime and con-
serves health, wealth ard moral
ity. 1t gains new friends in large
numbers every day.

the dry column is an important
event in the history of the move.

said Mr.. B. b. Dougherty, super

Training School at Boone, iu
talking about the cattle industry
in that county when here Satur-
day. Watauga people have long
since learned that there is money
in the cattle industry. However.
it was during the last year or
two that they have come to real
ize the profits and possibilities in
cheese making, which is allied
with the cattle industry. Sixteen
car loads OF cheese will be sold
from Watauga cheese factories s
this year, Mr.. Dougherty said.
This will bring, in round num-
bers $4,000. And this is not the
end. More cheese factories are be-
