 SAFELY IN FRANCE
(From Saturdays Daily)

According to word which was re- ceived by Superintendent George Kingdom of the United Verde Exten- sion at Jerome, James s. Douglas who sailed from an Atlantic port on September Sth for France, has ar rived safely in that country.
 This information was conveyed to John s. Reilly of this city, who wa. Jerome visitor yesterday.
 Mir. Douglas was to asSpme the position of general superintendent oi all of the Red Cross activities in France, having sacrificed much in order to make the long trip and take charge of the humane work which the big organization is looking after Un- til the message of yesterday to Mir. Kingdom, no word had reached the United States as to whether Mir. Douglas had arrived safely, and fears were beginning to be expressed that possibly the liner on which he had sailed had been a victim of one of the kaiser's sea skunks. The uneasiness caused by the absence of a message was banished by the announcement of his safe arrival and the many friends of Mir. Douglas are expressing relief since hearing that he succeeded in lodging all of the unseen perils which bcset the way of the transatlantic traveller nowadays

JEROME HIGHWAY IS
 NOT COSTLY PROPOSITION
(From Fridays Daily.)

A detailed report, showing the actual expense of construction mile by mile, for the proposed Jerome Prescott road, was submitted to the board of supervisors this week by Engineer Earl Parker, the report set ting out the cost of the route by way
 of Granite Dells and also the cost of the road if it should be built via the
 Four Mile house.
 According to Mir. Parkcr's figures, Q build 20-foot highway around the
 Four Mile house way, an expenditure of Sl60,947 will be necessary. while if he road is run through via Granite Dells, its cost will be approximately Sl47,429. There is practically no diff ference in the distance covered by the routes, the Granite Dells route being l-l0 of a mile shorter than the other one.
 The increased cost of the Four Mile house route is made necessary on account of the fact that if the road IS built in this direction, long bed of malapai will be encountered at a point about half way between here md Jerome, and the road would have to be capped practically all the way over this formation.
 According to word which comes lately from Jerome, the two big cop per producing companies in that camp are ready and willing to make a sub Stantial donation to the county as an id to getting the road through. At
 he present time it is something like % miles from here to the copper camp by wagon road, and as the new route will cut the distance down to about 30 miles, all of the big industries of the Jeromc-Clarkdale district are boosting for the proposition, and in the cases aforementioned. willing to devote some of their good money to aid in the accomplishment of the i'm provcmcnt.

NEW ROAD FROM CLARKDA[E ID
 JEROME
CITIZENS ARRANGE TO CONSTRUCT CONCRETE HIGHWAY FROM COPPER TOWN TO VALLEY; WORK TO BEGIN SOON.
IFrom Saturdays Daily.J

According to word coming from
 Jerome, work will be commenced
 there within the next few weeks on
 concrete highway when Is to con-
 meet that city with Oarkdale, the
 work to be completed within a period
 of 60 days from the time the first dirt | is turned.
 The firm of Fleming & Stitzer ha. the contract to construct a l6-foot
 roadway, with base of six inches of concrete, covered with an oil finish, exactly the same as the wonderful roads which have made motoring so popular in Southern California. One half of the road will be built at time that is. a strip eight feet wide will be built the entire route and then the other half will be put in, this method being used so as to reduce to min imum the interruption of traffic be- tween the two towns.
 It is estimated that the road will cost something like S70OO0, this figure being based upon the assumption that the distance is but five miles between the two cities. In some parts of the line. the present grade will be ma terially reduced, and when completed, the residents of that district believe that they will possess one of the fin est pieces of roadway in the South west.
 About S2O,0OO of ne required amount of money is already in sight. and it is understood that the United Verde and the United Verde Exten- sion have both agreed to make sub- stantial donations in behalf of the i'm provement. Most of the expense is to be taken care of by public sub scriptions, and the board of supervis- DTS will also be asked 10 put the county down on the list of donors. The contracting firm has agreed to do the work for the actual cost plus a small margin of profit. equal to about 10 per cent of the money expended.

one of the happiest little speeches
 which it was ever the good fortune of
 an audience to listen to. He jollied
 the boys most of the time, interspers-
 ing his humor with some very sensi- ble advice to the fellows who are of
 not only to encounter the dangers of
 shot and shell, but other dangers which turk wherever soldiers are quar-
 tered. He told the boys to steer clear of the vices which tend to wreck the mind and body, and to which the lads would be sure to be thrown in con- tact in foreign countries. He also told them that he, like Mir. Anderson, regretted the fact that he was too old to be of use to Uncle Sam in the present crisis, but offered to give up everything he possessed, with the ex- ception of his wife, for a chance to sail away with the new soldiers. As closing part of his speech, Rev. Hedgpeth recited bit of verse of his own making, entitled, Good Bye, Boys, Good Bye"
 At the close of the program, the ladies of the local chapter of the Red Cross distributed handy little con- fort kits among the boys of the quota, after which most of the gathering re- tired to the Odd Fellows hall, where the dance was given.
 The ball, which was the parting mark of esteem from the citizens to the soldiers, was one of unusual mer- riment and was attended by one of the largest crowds ever gathered in the hall. A six-piece orchestra fur nished the music, and the dancing continued until an early hour this morning. It is the intention of the local board, which is in charge of the men, that all farewells be said to the boys relatives and friends at some hour before the time the men are to report to the board this evening. After the quota has reported at 5 o'clock this evening, every minute of their time will be taken up with other mat ters, and no time will be allowed for farewell demonstrations, either before or after the men have been assigned to their sleeping car spaces.

Throng
 Voices Farewell
(Fom Fridays Daily.)

Two thousand persons tramped
 through the mud in the Santa Fe rail-
 road yards last night to bid farewell
 to the l70 men who pulled out for
 Fort Riley. As the engine which was to haul the special train to Ash Fork snaked the heavy Pullmans out from the siding onto the main line, a cheer
 went up which was of sufficient vol tune to remind the boys aboard that the hcartiest wishes of Prescott and
 Yavapai county were accompanying them on their long trip to the mobil- ization camp.
 Farewells, which ranged from tear sprinkled kisses to the timc-worn ad- monition to the lads to beware the ever-present nickels of the wooden and flannel kind, were showcrcd upon the departing rockies, and not a man was in the number who was not given heartfelt good wish by some of his relatives or friends.
 The four sleepers were sent out as the first section of the northbound passenger train which leaves here at 1 40 p. m. At Ash Fork, the special will be joined by the car carrying the Mohave contingent, and farther along the line, the care with the Coconino, Apache and Navajo county boys will be hooked on for the trip.
 Report to Board.
 The l70 men reported to the local board at 10 o'clock last night for the final roll call, and such other instruc- tions as were necessary. The board named Paul C. Whitice as captain of the contingent, and four licutenants, Tom Thorpe, Richard Merritt, Ben Perkins and Albert Blcvins were named to assist Mir. Whitice in the job of keeping watch on the lively bunch of youngsters. Cecil C. Gibson was named as clerk.
 Arrangements have been made with the Harvey houses all along the line for feeding the boys, and detailed specifications as to the number and kind of meals have been given to the eating houses in advance. Each meal is to cost 60 cents, and the Harvey system is to be reimbursed for the meals through the medium of govern ment scrip, especially issued for this purpose.
 Thirty-three Fail to Respond.
 When the final roll~c call was made yesterday evening B of the original lo9 were not present, and the requisite number of alternatcS were pressed in to service to fill up the quota. During the day the board received numerous tclegrans from men who were unable to get here, and while the status of the missing men is now that of dc scrtcrs from the regular army, the local board is authority for the state mcnt that the district board will be | very lenicnt with any of the men who can show some valid reason for their | absence. Those, however, who can not give good reason for their non appearance will feel the long arm of the war department wrapped tightly about their several anatomics.
 Flagstaff Girls Awaiting Them.
 X wire was received shortly before | the hour of entrainment from the Tsvapai county girls who are attend ing the Normal school at Flagstaff, | asking for the exact hour that the | local boys would pass through that city. The girls have prepared a dandy surprise for the boys, probably some thing in tho nature of big bunch of cdibles, although the telegram did not go into details as to the nature of the treat.

join the youngsters in their long trip to the French battleields. Mr. An derson quoted few statistics which went to prove that the ratio of mor- tality on the battlefield was consider ably less than that among men em- ployed in the copper mines alone. and that comparatively few of the men were mortally wounded. His little checr-up talk had the effect of lead ing the boys to believe that no hor- riblc fate awaited them in the trench es, and that their chances for return ing to their homes with sound bodie. were remarkably good. The fact that the United States government was issuing life insurance to the boys at the rate of sS per 5000. he said, was ample proof that Uncle Sam did not expect so very many of his sons to be slain. The average man, according to Mir Anderson, is compelled to pay something like SPA per Sl,000 for his insurance, so in this respect, the boys were more fortunate than the average civilian.
 Judge Wells Speaks.
 Judge E. w. Wells in few words, told the soldier boys that the Amer ican soldier had become world-fam- ous because of the fact that he work ed with his mind as well as with his muscle, and that the Allies had good reason to expect great things of the Sammies when they were once gotten into fighting trim. The speaker re- cited portions of Lincoln's Gettys- burg speech, and told his audience that the principles cnunciatcd by the great emancipator in 1863 still held good, and that the time had come for America to test the truth of her as- sertion that all of her citizens were endowed with the inalienable right to life, liberty and pursuit oi happiness, regardless of where their footsteps might roam.
 A Soldier Responds.
 One of the most appreciated num- bers on the program was that render cd by Karl R. Goetze, one Of the men who is to leave with the quota today. Mir. Goctzc is a pianist and singer of no. mean ability, and when he was called for response, he played and sang new song, one of his own com- positions, entitled Arizona, My Ari- zona," the words and music of which made big hit with the audience. The words of the chorus were quite catchy, and run as follows:
 Arizona, my Arizona,
 You're the grandcst State of all.
 l love your pine trees and your
 mountains,
 Desert sands, hear you call
 From the Canyon to the border,
 Every spot was made to order
 Your mines are great,
 My dear home State,
 Arizona, my Arizona.
 As an encore, the musician respond cd with the rendition of another sclec- ton of his own composing, I'm Go ing Back to Arizona" this number getting the biggest hand" of the en- tire program.
 Brother Joe Speaks.
 X speaker who injected a goodly amount of wit into his talk was Rev. Joel Hcdgpeth. pastor of the West Prescott NJ. E. church. Had it not been for the fact that Chairman An dcrson had introduced him as d min ister, the speaker said, it would have been quite possible that he would have succeeded in passing himself off as anything but d man of the cloth However, Rev.
