OBSERVATIONS.

1t is to be hoped the president
will stop the use of grain by dis
tilleries and breweries. When
there is evidence that part of the
world is starving, all grain should
be conserved and used only for food
to sustain life instead of using it
for making booze to destroy the
health and benumb the senses of
people whose energies are needed in
maintaining the dignity and honor
of the nation.
In view of the contemplate ac-
tions of Congressman Sherwood of
Toledo we would suggest that he
be invited to read the 9th chapter
of Mathews, 5th verse, the sub
stance of which is that after Judas
had betrayed his Master he became
ashamed "and then he went out
and hanged himself. -
The greatest need of the United
States today is more acres planted
and more gardens cultivated more
economy in the management of
homes and general expenditures
that can be eliminated without i'm
posing hardships upon those who
voluntarily reduce their own
methods of living expenses. The
people of the United States do not
seem to realize that our country is
involved in the greatest war that
the world has ever known and that
it's outcome is so extremely proble-
matical that no one can foretell the
conditions that will prevail when
the great struggle is concluded.
Therefore the only manner in
which the people of this great
nation can serve their country and
save themselves is by Immediately
commencing to practice economy
and self denial before the govern
ment is driven to the extremity of
enforcing such laws upon them.
After long days and nights Of
discussion and wrangling Congress
has finally passed the CONSUMPTION
law and the President has won in
favor of an army that will be
drawn from every locality and
from all classes of people without
favoritism. The ages of service
from 81 to 35 years is a sufficiently
wide range to make possible the
raising of splendid army. There
will be no side-stepping this service
and whether or not mothers
boy" was "raised to be soldier"
he will be given chance to show
what kind of a man his mother
made of him and they will make a
showing that will shine in the his
tory of the world and reflect credit
upon the mothers of the best and
greatest country on which the
gracious sun reflects its glorious
rays.

Catarrh is local disease, greatly in

Why is 1t that in spite of the pre-
cautions against fire the nations fire
loss continues SO impressively large,
year after year? We have done away
very largely with many hazards of
the past. Why isn't there more OBJ
vious compensation in the form of a
diminished fire loss? Perhaps 1t is
because of the uprising Of new haz-
ards. One of the greatest of these is
the carelessness of people addicted to
smoking cigarettes.

SHELTER PLANT FOR
 PRESCOTT IS ASSURED
(From Fridays Daily.)

Those in close touch with c. c. Lemons and other Englishmen oi large means who arc behind the new shelter undertaking for Prescott, are optimistic over this movement. Ii was learned yesterday that inside of 30 days announcement will be made by which there will be full realiza- ton of the project. The exigencies of war have prevented Mir. Lemons and the other Englishmen coming to the United States, but this matter it was stated yesterday has been ad- justed, and several of the principals are expected in short time.
 Their forthcoming visit practically assures the plant will be established, and initial construction will be the first move after their arrival. Many who hope to become identified with this proposition have taken options on outlying mines Of all mineral bearing contents and these deals are also to be definitely closed and de- velopment inaugurated.
 After the arrival of Mir. Lemons and party the public will be informed of what is contemplated, and of the plans as they are completed.

HEAVY CAPITAL FOR OPERATING
 THE UNION
C. T. PABST, OF ST. LOUIS BECOMES ASSOCIATED WITH D. M. LOCEY, AR ATTACHMENTS COMPLET- ED FOR WORK.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Important matters to affect the fu- turc of the Union group of gold mines in Chaparral were satisfactorily con cluded yesterday when Charles T. Pabst, of St. Louis, became associat- ed with D. NJ. Locey in acquiring a one-half interest This action follow ed after Mir. Pabst had visited the property with his consulting engineer Frank Virgin, of Montana, both re- maining for thorough examination of the holdings and spending five days on the property.
 Initial steps are now being taken for incorporating what will be known as the Locey- Pabst Mining Co.,, with stock of Sl00 a share and with the specific understanding between the two above named principals that the affairs of the company are to be close ly controlled, with no marketing of shares. Mir Pabst'S association with the Union is significant on account of his prominence in financial circles in the East, and the new team of operat- ors is practically assured of capital sufficient to place the Union on a solid basis for the future.
 Already they are planning exten- sive operations. The payroll was in- creased during the week to B men. Mir. Locey stated yesterday all mat ters affecting this property are now in an excellent shape, and beginning at once a radical change in past methods of handling this desirable gold property will be inaugurated.
 The ten-stamp mill on the ground is to be enlarged to 20 stamps, with an oil Notation system added. New hoisting machinery is to be installed and several additional buildings are to be erected. the contract for which will be let this week. Certain grades of ore will be milled and that from zones from which the high grade has been determined recently will be shipped
 Since taking over the Union under a bond a few months ago, Mir. Locey has carried out a system of explora- ton that has resulted in the deter imitation Of a surprising character, and which are substantiated in many test runs made by the mill. The new arrangement by which the Union passes into strong hands, makes the heirs of John s. Jones particularly pleased over the satisfactory culmina- ton of the affairs of this property.

 A TWO-DAY ILLNESS
(From Thursdays Daily.)

J. B. Armijo passed away yesterday afternoon at his home in this city after an illness of only two days, due to a general breakdown in health in cidental to his age of over 70 years.

In New Mexico he had filled many offices of trust, and was conspicuous as a mem- Der of the legislature He also cap ably filled county offices. and worked earnestly toward building up the country.

(From Saturdays Daily)

Brief announcement was received in this city yesterday forenoon of the death at the United Mines Company camp at Congress, of A. E. McGill, but no particulars were given of the cause. The deceased was justice oi the peace of that precinct, and brother-in-law of D. ]. Sullivan, pres ident of the United. NIT. McGiu also was large shareholder in the com pany, and came from Chicago several years ago, to faniiliarize himself with the operating of the property, con cluding to remain.
 He was a man of splendid person ality, and friends importuned him last fall to seek the office to which he was elected. The remains are to be brought to Prescott and will be pre- pared for burial by Lester Ruffner. It is probable the body will be ship ped to Chicago. where relatives re- side. The death of Mir. McGill has occasioned expressions of sorrow from many friends in Prescott where he was we'll known and very popular.

LEWISOHNS NOT IN
 CONTROL OF THE C. & j.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Whether or not the LewiSohn ln- terests control the Calumet & Jc- rome is the subject of lively discus sion just now in Jerome circles. That the Lewisohns have an interest of some sort in the property is conced- ed. Nothing is obtainable from that source, however, as to the extent of their holdings. On the other hand in terests associated with the Avery or ganization insist that the reports arc not well founded, but the denial ap- pears to be of the constructive or technical sort.
 C. NJ. Garrison, vice-presidcnt of the company, IS sponsor for the de- nial that the Lewisohns are in con trol, but Mir. Garrison's statement, boiled down, is that he doesn't sec how the Lewisohns have obtained control. There is in the treasury 100000 shares" he says, (which l be- lievc can be chased as removed from the market Mir Avery and his as sociates control 500,000 shares. These are in escrow until the property is on a producing basis. There are 450,0O0 shares afloat, and much of this stock is publicly owned. 1 cannot see how the Lewisohns have obtained control. The company has on hand a large cash surplus that assures develop ment, and will finance the sinking of the shaft to the point where results can be shown"
 Notwithstanding the Garrison de- nial, the rumor persists that the Lew isohns have taken over block of the stock in the public market and have an option on the stock in the treas ury, or on large part of it, sufficient to ensure them of control whenever they sec fit to exercise the option. This phase of the matter does not ap- pear to be covered by Mir. Garrison's s somewhat technical denial, which does not touch on the status of the treasury stock.

PRESERVE OUR TRADI-
 TIONS; G. w. JAMES
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Prescott has traditions, places of intense scenic interest and lots of the things that attract visitors, investors and home makers. Prescott should keep this fact before the public.
 So said George Wharton James, author and lecturer, to the Luncheon Club yesterday noon. Incidentally. Mir. James talk proved so interesting that he became the only speaker who has been allowed to keep the business men away from their offices over the one-hour period. He spoke for an hour and half.
 His subject was the "Value of Pub licity" Few realize, he said. the real value of placing Prescott before the public He urged that all possible measures be used to keep hammering at the matter.
 Speaking of the Indian and early settlers traditions, so thickly cluster ed about this region, the lecturer urged that they be preserved. Few communities have SO much of histori- cal interest in their immediate sur roundings as this city, earliest seat of the constituted authority of the Unit ed States in Arizona, scene of the first clashes between the white man and the red.

BIG HUNT GAIN CLAIM
 ED IN HUNT CAMP

PHOENIX, Feb. ?. - While the court rests on the recount, everybody is trying to explain how it is coming out-and everybody's explanation is different from everybody's else. Strangely enough, all the Hunt peo- pie think that because the recount of hand picked precincts by the Hunt attorneys has shown Hunt gains, the fight is all over but the shouting
 It is notable fact that in many precincts, where the Hunt inspection returned showed large gains, the re- count is proving that the wish of the Hunt inspectors was the father to their thoughts regarding many of the ballots. Gains of a dozen or so. claimed in the inspection, are hacked down to one, two, three or none, by the recount.
 Still another feature of the recount has been the discovery of a number of precincts in which the total vote was exceeded by the sum of the votes counted for Hunt, Campbell, Robert son and Dunlap. There has been no attempt to explain this discrepancy, though the Hunt attorneys did spring a surprise during the week by placing Clerk Standagc of the Maricopa county board of supervisors on the stand to validate before the court, the ballots that were then being counted from precincts in this county. Be- fore the first batch of ballots were sorted out, CampbelPs counsel sug- gestcd that by the nature of things, it would be proper for the Hunt at torneys to prove that such ballots were admissible as evidence, that they were actually the ones cast in the precinct at the election in question Senator Ives, Hunts chief councel, said that it would be proper to do this, but that it would be more inter esting to start counting, so lets start He said the evidence to prove the validity of the ballots would be introduced later. Then, without any warning, and after everybody had got used to the strange procedure of hearing evidence the propriety of which had not been proven, Ives al- lows he will put man on the stand to do some teStifying.

SCOUTS NOT A MILITARY BODY

Boy Scouts of America are not a military organization. The implica- ton that the organization has been so revised as to give 1t this nature, is stoutly denied by high officials, one of whom, Chief Scout Executive Jas. E. West, writes Scoutmaster Howard w. Wester, of this city. that dis patch recently handled by the Asso- ciated Press was erroneous and mis- leading.
 Mir. Vests letter follows:
 In view of the misleading story in the Associated Press there has been a great deal of misunderstanding in the field. In order that you may know accurately the statement au- thorized by our executive board, l am sending herewith copy of Scouting, special delivery.
 "A telegram as follows was sent to a number of the scout execitiveS to- day:
 Associated Press story misleading and unwarranted. Official statement issued subsequently same as that of July lst, lol6, Scouting. Deny vigor- ously any suggestion of military ser vice.
 Please do all you can through the local press 10 make it clear that scout service will be of non-military char acter but of very definite value be- cause of the Boy Scout program along civic lines"

TWO LARGE LIONS
 KILLED BY MEXICAN
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Two mountain lions, each measur- ing nine feet from tip to tip, were brought to the city Monday by a Mexican cmploye of J. w. Stewart at the Dumbbell ranch, near Sim mons. Both animals were shot and killed after chase of many miles through the snow. Their condition would indicate that they had been faring well from livestock on the range, and it is stated they had de- stroyed several hundred dollars worth of cattle. They were run down with the aid of two we'll trained dogs after chase of over Is miles. The Mexican receives only S20 for the belts there being no stockmen's pool in that region.
