NEW ROAD MAP
GIVES TACOMA

The only automobile road map
of the state Of Washington issued
this year discriminates broadly
against Tacoma, according to
j. II. Gonyea. deputy city con-
troller, who purchased one of the
maps Tuesday.
Only one road is shown on the
map as leading out of Tacoma.
The highway to Mt. Tacoma leads
direct from Seattle. There is no
road connection between Tacoma
and Seattle. The only road given
on the map as entering Tacoma is
one connecting this city with
Olympia.
The map. published by Edward
w. Pulyer of San Francisco. is the
only 1917 road map on sale in
Tacoma, according to Gonyea.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 10.
John Barleycorn" is coming to
life again as a prominent figure In
senate debate on food control.
After having been buried with
ceremony by substantial ma
jority last Saturday, whisky re-
vived under the strenuous first aid
services OF "wets" and a group of
"drys" who believe his burial was
unconstitutional.
The center of fire in the debate
is that portion of the rites over
distilled spirits which would d.
rect President Wilson to buy all
goods In bond. appears likely
NOW there will be reconsideration
of last Saturdays action.
Hard liquor prices are soaring
as a result of the senate confusion.
Dealers who see whisky and gin
vanishing or curtailed are laying
in extra stocks, thus forcing up
the price, while the prospective
drouht is an excuse for boosting
prices. Here, whisky Is Is cents
straight, while by the case there
is an advance of $t.50 or more
since last week. Scotch is up as
high as 30 cents a drink.
The food control bill will be
voted on in the senate not later
than Saturday, July 81, at $3.50
p. m. This decision was reached
by unanimous consent today.

METCALF LADIES
 FEED HUSBANDS
Ladies UpIifr Club Entertains Spouses With Big Dinner. Evening One of Enjoyment With Toasts and Merri- ment EnIivening the Affair.

One of the happiest affairs in the life of our neighboring camp, Metcalf, occurred February 18th, when the Metcalf Ladies' Uplift Club entertain ed the husbands of it's members at an informal dinner in the Reading Room.
 The tables were decorated with a border of maiden hair fern and the center with vases of white carnations, carrying out the Club colors A verit- able feast of roast turkey, cranberry jelly, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, aspic salad, ice cream, cake and cof- fee occupied the attention of the guests for a good part of the evening, with MT. E. l.. Gay and H. H. Dyer carving the fowls and replenishing the platters as fast as they were emp tied.
 Cigars were passed to the guests and during the smoker, Mrs. Dye, as toastmistress, called upon Mrs. Far rar to respond to Husbands I Have Known which she did in a clever and fearless manner.
 H. E. Boyd was asked to respond to Wives Have Known" He handled the subject with evident eau tion but sprinkled it with many wittiCisms.
 Messrs. Gay, Dermont and Dyer each added something Complimentary or otherwise" to the fair hostesses The president, Mrs. B. Y. Gay, gave most amusing account of her trip to Globe to the sraIe convention mad extended an invitation to the genetle- me n to witness a model club meeting The ladies were called to order and put through a business session W caused much merriment, as it was a farce from start to finish. Mrs Farnsworth, as parliamentarian, strug gled to maintain order.
 The affair proved such a success that the husbands urged a repetition of the entertainment in the near flu, ture.'

CLOSE CALL FOR
 SHER|FF'S PARTY
Car in Which Sheriff Slaughter and Deputies Bass and Nicks and Pat Slaughter are Riding, Dashes Into
 Embankment at 65 Miles An Hour.

In the early hours of Sunday morn ing last Sheriff Slaughter, accompan- jed by Deputies Bass and Pat Slaugh- ter, had narrow escape from death on the Clifton-Duncan highway near Cole Creek.
 The party, who were in the Sheriff's machine and out looking for violators of the prohibition law, had reached a point near Cole Creek, some fourteen miles from Clifton, when they saw a car coming for which they had been on the watch The bootleggers, how ever, must have sensed what was com ing for they turned their machine about and beat it back for the state line.
 Sheriff Slaughter let his machine out and gave chase to the offenders of the law. Just before reaching the sharp ned on one side by high embank- ment and on the other by sheer descent of several hundred feet, the sheriff looked at his speedometer and found that he was making about 65 miles an hour and would be unable to make the curve. With quick presence of mind, he decided rather than take the fall there would be less danger in running the car into the bank, and applying the emergency brake on the machine, with grinding brakes and mil lions of sparks flying from the rear axle, shot ahead several yards and plunged into the bank full force. For tunately none of the men were injured. Sheriff Slaughter received a slight cut on one hand but outside of this the others escaped completely. Naturally pursuit of the fleeing ma chine was given up as the sheriff s car was badly wrecked and will be out of commission for some time. It was hauled back to Clifton the first of the week for repairs.
 The officers regret their failure to capture the bootleggers and contra band goods, but are congratulating themselves upon their good fortune in escaping as luckily as they did from serious injury or possibly instant death.

been received recently for the copper output of the state. All the mining districts where production is going on wages are much higher than ever be- fore, this being on account of the high price of copper and the sliding scale on which the men are paid. It is not expected that even war will disturb this industry unless some of the great reduction plants should be destroyed by agents of the enemy.
 AS a resume of the underlying causes for the present Arizona pros perity it may be said that yearlings gathered from our cattle ranges are now selling for $32 per head; wool clipped from the sheep of northern Arizona is selling for price never before known, reaching well above forty cents a pound. Alfalfa is worth SPA per ton loaded on the cars in our agricultural valleys where this hay is grown. Copper is selling for g cents per pound for delivery during the last half of the present year and long staple Egyptian cotton, grown in the Salt River and Yuma valleys has sold as high as 54 cents per pound during
 the winter" Major Kelly concluded.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED

What was considered by those pres ent to be the most brilliant and pret- fiest appointed affairs to be given in Clifton for some time was the din ner party on Tuesday evening given by Dr. and Mrs l.. A. W. Burtch at their home in South Clifton and at which time the engagement of Dr. A. H. HiXson and Miss Maude Anna Terrell of Morenci was announced.
 The decorative scheme was pink and white, hyacinths being used in profusion in this respect. The din ner tables were also beautifully decor ated in the prevailing colors and at eight o'clock the guests sat down to delicious six course dinner.
 The table at which the honor guests were seated was beautifully decorat- ed in the prevailing color scheme, a shower of hyacinths pendant from the chandelier to the outer edges of the table. Upon the whole the decora- tions were most tastefully arranged and lent a charming atmosphere to the scene.
 Those present beside the host and hostess and honor guests were Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Hastings, Misses Sch enck and Hitchcock, w. G. Landers, and Mrs Joe Terrell, MT. and Mrs Terry, Misses Butler, Bass, Mccain, Dr. Lien, David Robbins, and John Fenwick.
 It is understood that the marriage of Dr. Hixson and Miss Terrell will take place in April, after which the couple will leave for Tyrone, N. M where they will reside

 Our convention year closes with this week. The annual meeting of Arizona Baptist convenes with the church at Tempe on April 10. This has been an unusual prosperous year for the denomination throughout the state. The Clifton church has contributed her share to this prosperity. We have had an encouraging increase in mem- bership, and will report a full budget on benevolences.
 The new convention year opens new doors of obligation and opportuni- ty to us as a church and we are ready to enter and meet the demands now upon us. We live to serve and it is great pleasure to serve people that are ready to accept larger burdens that they may render larger ser vice.
 Sunday evening gave us the largest audience we have had in Clifton. The people greatly enjoyed the special se- lection by Miss Margaret Steubing She will sing for us again next Sun- day evening. Prof. Umfieet is al- ways enjoyed at the morning hour The sermon subject for. Sunday even- ing will be Passing from Death to Life." After the sermon the ordi- nance of baptism will be administered. Sunday morning sermon will be from the subject: Entering tn Gate". Communion service follows the sermon. Why not you go to church Sunday? Other folks go and some even enjoy the services.

First Athletic Exhibition

r IrSL AIn1SLIC GNffSiItOTl--.
 The first wrestling and boxing exhi- bition to be given under the auspices of the Clifton Athletic Association, in charge of Messrs. Al Wasem and Chas. Alt, was pulled off at the Prin- cess last evening and was attended by good sized crowd, among whom were many ladies who seemed to en- joy the exhibition equally. as much as the male members of the audience. The sports were fast and clean and each event kept the spectators in fever of excitement.
 G. A Franz acted as announcer, eX plaining the purposes of the exhibi- tion and introducing the contestants for honors in the different events. The judges for the events last even ing were Al Wasem and F. H. Sprin- ger, the referee being Al Higgins, welterweight boxing champion of New Mexico.
 Before the announcement of the first event Mr. Franz called Peter Beze- kas, of California, to the stage and 1n- troduced him as the welterweight champion wrestler of the world, who had arrived in Clifton yesterday. MT. Bezekas has issued a challenge to wrestle Al Wasem, and on account of the difference in weight in his favor, agrees to throw Wasem twice in one hour and thirty minutes. Side money of $500 is expected to be posted to- day and the match will probably be pulled off within the next thirty days. This should be a drawing card for the lovers of the wrestling game. The date for this event will be announc- ed later.
 The first event on the program was the wrestling match between Bud Frauz and Douglas Pascoe, the first round being won by Franz in two minutes and the second won by him in one minute. thus giving him the de cision of the contest.
 Ed Gomez and Frank Keppler in the 115-lb boxing match put up snappy fight and the bout was full of fast fighting from the first gong. The de cision was awarded to Keppler.
 In the 125 lb. match between Gallo Perlo and Refugio Olvida, Pereda won in the second round on foul.
 The 135 ID. event was between Clark Wilkinson and John Spaw and was easily the cleverest and best of the three boxing events Wilkinson wining the decision.
 l The matches were all clean and free from rough stuff and it is urged upon the parents of the contestants as well as the ladies in particular that they turn out to the next exhibitions and encourage these athletic events. The exhibition to be staged next month will be a dual meet between contestants of Metcalf and Cilfton
