WHITING SEES ROADS
 ABOUT THE CITY
(From Saturdays Daily.)

F. $. Whiting, who has spent the
 past three years touring around in
 behalf of all tourists who use the
 A. A. A. road guides and other publi- cations, has cultivated the all-inclu- sive eye. He can discuss football, dancing and the relative merits of the automatic and old style pistols, with out losing any great amount of road dope, as is fits by.
 Under the guidance of Gordon Clark and Grace Sparkcs of the chamber of commerce, Whiting spent yesterday afternoon going over the nearer roads, drinking in the data on the points of scenic and historical in tcrest and storing it away for future use in connection with his publica- tions. Whiting arrived from Phocnix by train, leaving his car at the capital and instead of punching a roadster over any more highways, he will luxur- fate on the cushions as far as the Grand Canyon and Chicago. The object of his visit here is not to gather road dope, for Yavapai coun- tvs roads are so well surveyed and that nothing additional is needed. He is merely taking mental and kodak pictures Of the places in which tourists may be interested
 He says that when making trips like this, he tries to put himself in the place of the tourist, and when a scene pr camping place or bit of road i'm presses him, he passes the fact on to Inc thousands of touring friends. who ook to the Blue Book for the infor- nation on where 10 go by automo- pile. Prescott and its cuvirons im- pressed him this way, and he will put t in that way.

 table toward all those who must make this choice. These are hard times for the foreign born, many of whom come from countries that may be at war with the United States within the year. He pleaded the cause of the new-made brother, and said that less than 1 per cent of them ever go back or change allegiance from the United States. The two-year period between the filing of the first papers and the administration of the oath, gives the applicant plenty of time to become familiar with the step he is about to take, and tends to impress on him the importance Of the oath of fealty he takes to the new government.
 Judge Smith introduced F. s. Whit ing of Chicago, official road man for the Automobile Blue Book, the tour ing guide of the American Automo- bile Association.

NEW CITIZENS AT
 LUNCHEON CLUB MEET
(From Saturdays DaiIy)


 Before the largest turnout in scv. eral months, some new citizens of the United States made their debut al yesterdays Luncheon Club meeting at the Yavapai Club. Judge F. O. Smith, whose signature made II aliens citizens of the United States, presided as head Of the club, and ono of the prominent speakers was Examiner Crutchfeld, who conducted the inves- tigation into the qualifications of the candidates.
 That the naturalizcd citizen in % cases out of 100, proves a good citi- zen, was the declaration of Mir. Crutchfcld, whose 20 years expert encc as member Of the department of naturalization, has made him an cx- pert on the subject. He likcncd the naturalizcd alien to the man who is compelled to choose between his wife and his mother. The natural choice, he stated, was the wife. And so it should be with the made citizen.
 He spoke of the solcmnity of the oath which aliens take when they be- come citizens. At this point Judge Smith made the unique point that Inc believed all American born citizens, upon reaching majority, should be given the same oath. The effect would be, Inc stated, to bring them closer to their home country, instill- ing in them better idea of what citizenship means, than they can pos sibly secure by the mere knowledge that they have attained the voting and property holding age.
 An interesting part of inc program was the short speech by John Zivko- vich, who has been conducting d night school at Jerome, for the instruction of alien miners in the English Ian guagc and the simpler branches of school education He had taught some of the men who yesterday be- came citizens, and was proud of their showing. The classes in the school, he said, were doing very well, and that many were on their way to be- come citizens. A knowledge ol the English language, Inc declared, was the greatest need of the foreign born man and woman. and that no alien should attempt to become a citizen without first mastering the language.
 Judge Smith complimentcd the class on its showing in court during the morning. and said that he had found it true that the naturalizcd citizen seldom gets into court for wrong doing.
 It is hard for a man to choose be- tween his native land and that of his adoption according to Mir Crutch

HEAVY TRAFFIC OVER
 THE s. F. P. & p. ROAD
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

At the present time and for scv' cral months past, the Santa Fc, Pres colt & Phoenix Railway Go. has cx- pcricnccd an era of prosperity ir freight hauling between Ash Fork and Phoenix which Is unprecedented ir the history of this road in tonnage handled and the wide scope of coun- try affected.
 Some idea of congcstcd freight conditions may be learned when 1t IS stated that during the pas, ten days an average of 50 cars daily have pass cd through for Phoenix as distrib- uting center. To Humboldt the daily average now is Is cars, while tc Mayer about eight cars arc being sent. Clarkdalc is receiving an aver age of 5 cars a day, consisting mainly of mine machinery and coke Prcscott's billing easily reaches to ten cars a day, while distributing points south of Prescott and along the Bradshaw route make a total oi at least five cars per day. The mar row gauge road from Jerome June tion to Jerome handles five cars a day. From a mining standpoint, the output of the Blue Bell and the Dc Soto for shipment to Humboldt to- tals ten full loaded cars daily without taking into consideration what the Big Ledge will afford when the May CT shelter gets into action.
 The railroad now has in commis- sion y locomotives, which from a contrast with industrial conditions in it's territory of less than one year ago shows double the number in use.
 With mining L.ospcrous, and fu- turc traffic into the country sure to be still heavier, the outgoing business soon will be difficult problem to handle in hundreds of cars of live stock leaving in the Spring months. Less than a quarter of century ago the motive power of the $. r. P. & r. consisted of only three engines, and they easily handled freight and pas scngcr traffic. The railroad today tells the story of Iavapai'S remark able industrial advance with mining as its backbone.

 here from San Francisco to attend the hearing.
 In the presence of half a score of young women, members of Miss Adams class in civics at the High
 school, the applicants, some of them rather bashful in the presence of the bright young students, answered qucs- tions relating to the fabric of the government of the country they wish cd to adopt. There was the usual line of queer answers. For instance, one of the applicants and his witness, apparently failing to understand the question, both admitted they were anarchists and believed in polygamv! The question was repeated. and with understanding came a quick rcnunci- alton of affiliation with the two faiths that arc so little in harmony with the crceds of this nation. It was report cd by some of the town joshcrs, but not found in the record, that, being asked who elected the president of the United States, one of the candi- dates had replied: California"
 But two of the applicants had their cases dismissed. They were Peter Nelson of Jerome, whose application was dismissed at his own request, and George F. Rambaud of Ash Fork. Nelson'S witnesses failed him owing to disability.
 Peter Shafcr, Eggcrt Stolen. An tonic John Bctcs and William Brown were not admitted, their cases being continued to the next term Shafcr, who has been trying to get in for sev- eral years, was handicapped by the fact his explosion last July 4 has left him very deaf and nearly blind Hc stumbled on a number of questions, and when the same were put to other applicants, cvinccd a desire to deliver the answers.

HUNTER WRIGHT KILLED WHEN
 GAR SK|DS
DEWEY STOCKMAN LOSES LIFE ON BAD HILL BE- TWEEN HILLSIDE AND KIRKLAND.
(From Fridays Daily)


 Hunter Wright, aged about 5, a cattleman from Dewey, was probably instantly killed on hill between Hillside and Kirkland, Wednesday afternoon, when his automobile skid dcd and turned over Tom Wright, nephew of the driver, was also pinned beneath the car, but was not seriously injured.
 According 10 the story told at the inquest yesterday, and brought to Prescott by Coroner Chas. H. Me Lane, Hunter intended shutting off his engine, in order to descend the hill against compression. As he was manipulating the switch key, he acci- dentally turned on the power, and as the machine leaped forward down the hill, set the brakes strongly. The car skiddcd to one side of the road, and turned completely over, imprisoning both its occupants underneath.
 The accident occurred on a rather bad hill, six miles this side of Hill side. Wright and his nephew, who is about Is years of age, were returning to Dewey from Phoenix.
 The elder Hunter leaves a wife and two children, living at Dewey.
 Hunter Wright was a son of Mrs. Grant Eads, of Dewey, also a brother Of Burrell Wright, of Mayer. Both brothers have resided in this county for many years, the deceased follow ing the cattle business in Agua Fria valley, and the surviving brother along Big Bug creek. When the fatal accident occurred, Thomas Wright, a nephew, aged about IS years, used all his physical ability to eXtricate his uncle, and managed af- ter about ten minutes effort to turn over the car, and prop it up, so as to 1 relieve the pressure on the body. But | the injuries received were serious, and in about Is minutes after, Mir. Wright | passed away. He was unconscious | immediately after being injured, and his suffcrings were agonizing. The . fatal injuries were to his chest, and it is believed his lungs were crushed. The body has been brought to this city and is at Ruffner's mortuary.
