Collector Of Internal Revenue OF the
New York district. speaking Of this
latton, is quoted as saying that his
experience leads him TO believe that
there is IAN honest inclination 10 make
a true return and pay what is due to
the government" There is good
deal OF evidence that this is generally
true, and there are many cases OF
doubt as to what is due under thc COM

There Is scarcely a doubt but that

rather than ignorance OF lis wording.
There is good deal in its provisions
that Is puzzling, and board OF adYis-

BREAKS WORLD RECORD.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

LAUREL, Md, Oct. 1S.-In a sensa-
tional finish today, August Belmont's
Hourless defeated Viau's Omar Khay-
yam in the match race between these
three-year-olds. The Belmont horse
broke the worlds record by stepping
the mile and a quarter in two minutes
and two seconds. The former mark
was 2:OS 3-5.
Hourless won by good length al
though Omar made the pace and kept
it until the horses came to the home
stretch when HOurless forged ahead.
The owner received a purse of $4,000
and a gold trophy.
Belmont, however, wants only glory.
He will buy $4,000 in Liberty bonds
and present them to the American Red
Cross.
A crowd estimated at 10000 saw the
race. 1t was the largest ever assembl-
ed at a Maryland race track. Hourless
was heavily backed by the New York
contingent present while the small
betters seemed to be with Omar. Hour

SHE'S A DOG-G0NE
WONDERFUL GIRL,
And EVERYTHING!
With the Most Attractive
Smile In the World, Emma
c. Miller Literally knocks
'em Dead"

The worlds greatest press agent
was in town yesterday. And hist!
'Tis a She-not He! Her name is
Emma c. Miller, and she's the general
press representative for Al G. Barnes
Wild Animal Circus. OF course, Emma
C. doesn't claim that she is the
worlds greatest press agent, but the
business manager and the sometime
sporting editor of this sheet unani-
mously voted her such, and both OF
these bright young men shed real
tears of grief yesterday when they
realized that Miss Miller was lost to
them for at least a year.
Yes, What!
In the first place. she is good look
ing, and in the second place she is a
good business woman. All. dear
friends, what a combination! But
read,
She Comes
''The press representative of Barnes
circus is downstairs" the office boy
announced to the business manager
and the sporting editor Thursday
morning as they sat in the mahogany
furnished suite of the latter trying to
figure from whence their next meal
was coming.
'So?" the b. m. exclaimed. II shall
go and deal with him summarialy!"
The S. e. stuck his head out of the
window, expecting momentarialy to
see a typical press agent-silk-hatted
and wax-mustached-le by the
front door in a fury of Indignation.
But, no! Instead, from the floor be-
low came a sound of "Oh-h-h-h's" and
apologize coughs. so the S. e. went
down to satisfy his curiosity.
In a momnet he, too, was "Oh-h-
ing" and "Ah-h-nig' and bowling and
scraping before the melting smile of
Emma c. Miller.
'Tis All!
The rest of this story? In Arizona
language of a generation ago, Gents.
there amt no mroe," Needless to say.
Emma C. got everything she waned
out of the Review. She could get any
thing she wanted anywhere. AL G.

SUPERVISORS TO MEET
TO SET DATE FOR
BOND ELECTION

Chairman Vance Johnson of the
board of supervisors yesterday stated
the board of supervisors would meet
on October goth for the special purpose
of ordering an election for the propos
ed road bond issue in this county. 1t
is now agreed that the election will
be called for December 4th which date
comes on Tuesday
Recently the board with the county
road commission appointed under the
law in connection with the bond issue,
accompanied by the county engineer,
made tour of the county for the pur-
pose of deciding on what road work
should be done with the money to be
authorized if the election results in
favor of road improvement.
The first and most pressing work
found to be necessary, in the opinion
of all who went on this trip was the
paving of the road between Bisbee and
Douglas. 1t was a greed that the
road from Wilcox to Pearce and
CORTLAND should be put in substantial
condition. A road will also be built
from Pearce to connect with the cen
trail highway going north through the
Sulphur Springs valley. This will
give the citizen coming south from the
north end of the county the option OF
turning at Uearce either to Bisbee or
Douglas, or Tombstone. The bond
money is also expected to be utilized
in putting the road from Tombstone
to Benson and on the Pima county
line in excellent condition.
With this work done as result of
the bond issue then the board of SUI
pervisors will be able. with the annual
fund raised by the regular tax levy,
TO do a great deal more repair work
on the community roads which will
lead into the trunk line roads than has
been possible in the past.
The proposition carried before the
people at the December election will
be for the issuance of one million dol
lars in bonds and with this amount it
is expected that Cochise county will
be provided with better roads than any
other county in the state.
After the election, if it endorses the
issue then the bonds will be offered
for sale. After that the work will
start and be hurried to completion as
fast as possible.
