OFFICIALS
ARE ACTIVE
Commissioners Down to
Business in Impor-
tant Session
TO NAME PROBATE JUDGE
Plan for Highway District Election
Clean up Mass of Routine
From Old Year
TO NAME PROBATE JUDGE

Commissioners Lyon, Woody and
Cone are down to business at the court
I'house today in one of the busiest ses-
Sions of the year. In addition to a
great mass of routine business they
are to act at this session in the mat
ter of a new probate judge and the
creation of the Juliaetta-Troy Ken
drick high district.
Delay Over Judge
Some slight delay may be occasion
ed in the appointment of a probate
judge by the fact that Judge Morgan
edge had a change to make in his Of
fetal bond as postmaster. The bond
ing company demanded that his whole
name be spelled out in full so he
changed it to ''Will Frank" instead of
Will F. as he always signs his name
and returned it. Still his resignation
as judge is in the hands of the COM
missioners and can be accepted at any
time.
Considerable pressure is being
brought to bear upon the commission
ers in the interest of different candi-
dates for probate judge, but of course
the commissioners :, themselves will
give out no expression until they have
canvassed the whole situation thor
ughly.
Hold Highway Election
In the matter OF the highway dis
trict the commissioners will grant the
petition for the special election, fiX
the date and make all the other ar
rangements. A protest was filed
against the creation of the Juliaetta-
Troy-Kendrick district but the petit
TONERS outnumber the objections 50
overwhelmingly that the commission
ers feel fully justified in granting the
petition and submitting the matter to
a vote of those directly interested.
Make Clean Up
At the session this morning the
commissioners cleaned up a number
of salary bills for the last fiscal year;
they apportioned the S2061 vehicle Ii
cense tax to the general road fund;
they cancelled a number of erroneous
tax sale certificates, and they cancell
ed a number of old county warrants
unclaimed aggregating $3.50. This was
all in line with cleaning up the bust
ness of the last fiscal year and clearing
the decks for action in the new year.

State Board of Education
to Hold Important
Session
PLANS FOR SOUTH WING
Permanent Improvements and Main-
tenance to be Considered and Pol
icy for Two Years Outlined

Matters of vital Importance to the
University of Idaho are under consid-
Grafton at that institution this week
The board of education will meet to-
morrow and expected to be in session
three days-Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday.
First among the things. to be con-
sidered at the meeting is the erection
of the south wing of the administra-
ton building. There was provided
for permanent improvements at the
university by the legislature the sum
of $4,000 for permanent improve
ments. The chief item is the wing
which was expected to cost complete
100000. 1t will be necessary to re-
duce this amount because of the re-
duced appropriation.

Make Both Ends Meet

ance to be considered is maintenance
for the two years. Governor Alex

from the appropriations for mainten-
ance and the budget will have to be

another member of the committee, ar
rived later. President NJ. A. Bran
non, head of the university, is also a

DIR. SissOn Here

education, arrived in the city Sunday
and spent the greater part of today
at the university going over matters
with President Brannon.

90 YEARS OF AGE
 50 YEARS IN ARIZONA
(Fiom Thursdays Daily)

(Fion Thursdays Daily)
 Captain John Hance, of Grand Can yon fame, Is in Prescott for the dual event of celebrating his S0th birthday tomorrow, and to observe the 50th anniversary of his arrival in Arizona.
 By way of coincidence these two events occurred on the same day, September 7. 1887, and September 7, 1867, respectively. The memorable day is to be appropriately observed by this Hassayamper, he stated to friends yesterday, when he reviewed the past in interesting "reminiscences.
 Captain Hance after a short so~ journ in this section hit the trail for the Grand Canyon, where he lived alone for seven years, during which time he built the Hancc trail from the rim to the river, $500 feet below, a feat that was attended with hardship and danger For B years he con tinued to make that wilderness his home. and at one time his nearest neighbor was 60 miles away.
 Captain Hance IS a native of Ten nessee. and his physical vigor is re- for a man of his age, con- sidcring the privations he has borne in his isolation for over a third of century. He walks with an upright carriage and his vim is like that of youth, with only few gray hairs to keep him in pace with others one half his age.

TIMES ARE GOOD
 FOR SANTA FEE COMPANY
(From Wednesdays Daily. !

The fact that the local branch oi the Santa Fe Railroad Company has had most prosperous year and is looking forward to another twelve month of conditions as good or better is attested by the fact that the off, cials of the Prescott division yester- day made acquisition to the supply department of the coast lines for a big lot of new materials which are to be put into use in the way of improv- ing the local branch as fast as they can be procured.
 According to General Manager w. A. Drake, it is the intention of the s. F. P. & P. line to relay the tracks between Ash Fork and Skull valley, using 85-pound rails instead of the somewhat lighter ones now in ser vice. As soon as the track can be strengthened in this manner, the company will place in service on this line several locomotives of about twice the hauling capacity of the en- zines used now. the change in the

HER SPECIALITY WAS
 COLLECTING DAMAGES
(From Thursdays Daily)

Word was received in this city this week to the effect that Mrs. Victoria I. Colby had filed suit for damages against the City of Portland, Oregon, for injuries which she alleges she re- ceived by falling on a defective side walk in that city. The suit is of local interest because of the fact that the lady in 1910 filed a similar suit against the City of Prescott and re- ceived the sum of Sl,000 in settle mcnt for her claims.
 After she had collected her money from the city, information was res ceived by the city officials here to the effect that the woman was a profes- sional in that line, and that her spec ialty was starting actions against various municipalities for alleged in juries which she said she had re- ceived usually through faulty side walks. It was further alleged that Mrs Colby possessed the knack of being able to throw her ankle out of place at will, and that it was through this accomplishment that she was usually able to collect damages from any unlucky city against which she directed her talents. The suit filed against the Oregon city would seem to bear out the contention of some of the local city officials that the woman has been practicing her little game ever since she hoodwinked Yavapai's capital out of $l ,000 in cold cash.

FIND QUICKSILVER IN THE DEPTHS
 OF HARBOR
Associated Press Correspondence.

HONOLULU, Sept. 5-Quicksilver brought up from the depths of Homo lulu harbor by "clam shell'' dredger caused a two-day sensation recently and for time reports were in circu- lation that a quicksilver mine had been located.
 Finally some one remembered that previous to the declaration of war against Germany by the United States several German and naval vessels had been anchored near where the quick silver had been brought mp by the dredger Investigation revealed that the quicksilver had been thrown over board by the Germans when the crews of the ships put the machinery of the vessels out of commission.
 The German system of registering pressure and vacuums in the engine room is by use of quicksilver and not by springs. and when the German sailors destroyed the machinery of their vessels large quantity of the metal was thrown overheard. Quan- titles of it ran in the bilges of the boats and in repairing the gunboat Geir at Pearl harbor more than 1000 pounds of quicksilver was removed  from the bilge of the warship.
 The German sailors smashed the gauges of their vessels with sledges and threw the debris overheard. to- gether with the quicksilver that was left in them.

GLENN GETS A GOOD
 BERTH AT PHOENIX
(From Thursdays Daily)

William F. Glenn, who for some time past has been acting in the capacity of an assistant to the mem bers of the local exemption board, left this morning for Phoenix. where he will take the position as chief clerk to Colonel Fred s. Breen, the State disbursing officer.
 Mir. Glenn was called to report at Phoenix today, and will take immedi- ate charge of the work over which he is to have supervision. He is especi- ally well-ftted for the new position on account of the experience which he had had with the local board. Mir. Glenn, who was chairman of the com mittee in charge of the farewell dem onstration for Yavapai's soldier boys, had asked to be allowed to remain here for the affair of this evening, but a wire received from Governor Camp bell during the afternoon conveyed the message that there was an i'm mense amount of work to do at the State offices in connection with the draft, and consequently Bill was com pelled to forego the pleasure of at tending the big party which he had helped arrange, and took the early train to the State capital.

THIRTY MILES ID JEROME BY THE
 NEW ROAD
FIRST PRELIMINARY SUR VEY OUT OF PRESCOTT SHOWS REDUCTION OF OVER g MILES BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES.
(From Thursdays Daiiy.)

Preliminary surveys on the pro- jected short line highway between Prescott and Jerome have started, un- der the direction of Earl Parker, an engineer formerly with the s. F. P. & P. railway, and the first line has been run.
 Mir Parker visited the city during the week and submitted his report to the board of supervisors As survey ed the road covers a distance of 90 miles, and the maximum grade does not exceed 6 per cent, it is reported.
 Practically an air line route is laid out, and after leaving the roadway beyond Whipple the new survey di- verts to the north near Bullwhacker hill, and enters Lonesome valley, connecting with the old wagon road used many years ago, before the building of the narrow gauge rail- road out of Jerome Junction.
 Mir Parker has returned to the field 10 make further observations, and is preparing to make another prelimin- ary survey out of this city, which it is stated will course through Granite Dells and have it's outlet in Lone- some valley near the old station of Witherville, on the abandoned F. & A. C. railroad This latter point was oie gateway to Jerome for many years, in wagon freighting and the old road grade still remains in fairly good condition. Tn selecting the Granite Dells region as a possible route, the formation is a strong in ducement, owing to the granite com struction, this material being desir- able for capping purposes. All routes under consideration enter Yeager canyon and intersect the early-day road at one point or another It is also stated that after Mescal gulch is passed the new grade is to avoid the long and steep hill leading into Je- rome. and will have a trend to the. west at much lower elevation, enter ing Jerome from the west and below the old grade several hundred feet to the north.
 Jerome welcomes this initial move ment in official action being taken to- ward the early building of this popu- lar road as assuming definite consid- eration.

PIONEER GOLD GROUP
 HAS BEEN REVIVED
(From Thursdays Daily.)

A mining operator named Tracey of the Rouse field has recently taken over the Golden Reef group near Flu genia gulch and is actively developing with two shifts in re-opening shafts sunk over 40 years ago, when the property was owned by T. w. Boggs now deceased. The values in early days were free milling and the pro- duct was treated by an arastra on Big Bug creek, recoveries from the free ores reaching to as high as Sl50 to the ton.
