Clearing Political Atmosphere

The Phoenix papers yesterday
contained the information that
Gov. Hunt made a short shift of
the row in his official family that
broke out early in the week when
State Engineer Cobb made pub
lie a letter he had written the
governor bitterly assailing the
characters and the official actions
of members of the state commits
sion and the attorney general.
He promptly accepted the resig-
nations of Mr.. Cobb, and also
Homer Wood, chairman of the
state commission. He named B.
w. Atwood, long connected with
the state engineers office, to sue
ceed Mr.. Cobb, and named Le-
roy Ladd, his private secretary,
as chairman of the state commits
sion. For a new private secre-
tary the governor selected Mr..
Louis w. Lowenthal of Tucson.
1t is rumored that some other
heads are liable to fall in the
basket, as the governor is de-
termined to have harmony pre-
vail during the closing lap of his
official life.
Evidently the democratic poll
tlclans who thought they could
make Gov. Hunt the goat"
while they were threshing out
their personal animosities, did
not realize that the old governor
had few effective kicks left
that could be applied on the prop
er portion Of the anatomy that
would separate the man from the
the office. Perhaps this one de-
monstratlon will be sufficient to
restore perfect harmony and am
ity in the official family.

Education Seems Popular.

The announcement last week
that night school would be
opened last Monday in the high
school for all those who desired
to attend, brought out a CROWD
of seekers after knowledge larg-
er by far than the estimates of
the most sanguine. Over sixty
were registered for some study,
and they were of all ages, from
young men and women, to old
married people. New members
are being enrolled every day, and
before the end of the month at
tendance will be SO large that it
may be necessary to hold over
flow meetings in one of the other
buildings.
Night schools should not be a
novelty, but a regularly estab-
lished part of the public school
system, and we hope Superin-
tendent Cornelius will be so
pleased with his efforts in this
direction that he will continue
the night school every year.
Many men and women we'll ad-
vanced in years, who are fairly
we'll educated, would enjoy the
privilege of attending a night
school just to brush up on some
of their work, or possibly take
up some new subject that in the
present day is considered essen
tial, which in their school days
was not included in their studies.
The time for the night school
has been changed to Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, begin
ming at Z p. M, and everybody
interested in entering the work
in all seriousness is cordially in
vited to come. The enrolment
fee is one dollar.

ing his wife down with him to
put in the hospital for an opera

Mike Neson has gone to San
Francisco to enjoy a few weeks
vacation from his strenuous du-
ties as an engineer for tn e
Santa Fe.
Mrs. William Hogue and baby,
who have been visiting here for
two months at the>home of her
parents, left Tuesday for her
home at Prescott.
Mesdames Parr and Walcott,
and Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Hebert
leave to-day for Tucson to attend
the annual meeting Of the state
chapter of the O. e. S. which
convenes in that city Monday.
Ed. Woolf, who has been spend
ing the winter at his former old
home in St. Louis, returned home
last Saturday, having all the ap-
pearance of a man who had en-
joyed a well-earned vacation.
Mr.. L. C. Owens, of Snowflake,
was in the city early in the week
consulting with the doctor about
his J jaw. AS an unprofessional
opinion, we think it has been
strained reading about the revo~
luton in Russia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jess Hahn have
returned from their sad mission
to Albuquerque, where they laid
to rest their son Mr.. Harold
Finch, who passed away at the
hospital in Los Angeles about
ten days ago. They brought
home with them Mrs. Finch, who
will visit here a short time.
The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. B. Woodward will regret
to learn that Mr.. Woodward has
accepted a position as train dis
patcher for the Rio Grande at
Salt Lake and leaves to-day for
that city. Mr.. Woodward felt it
necessary to make the change
on account of Mrs. Woodward S
health.
Our little friend Anna Leonard
is rapidly gaining her health and
strength after a severe tussle
with appendicitis. When she was
first taken to the hospital she
had to go without eating for five
or six days, which qualities her
to be a country newspaper editor;
but with her improving appetite
it looks very much as though the
balance of the family will have
to go without eating for some
time, and we are all glad this
is so.

CAMOUFLAGE IS PROVING GREAT
! ART IN BATTLING THE ENEMY

Washington. Aug 24.-New de.
velopments In the art OF marine cam
outage have effected radical changes
In the painting OF ships to protect
them from the enemy. Modern naval
warfare no longer reckons upon "in-
visibility" as a defensive factor. au-
thorities having arrived at the con-
cluslon that paint itself being de-
pendent upon light, will not over
come shadows. "Bsfffle painting
has been developed as substitute to
deceive a submarine commander as
to the size and form Of ship and
her course and speed.
Camouflage on land still Is sue

protective colorlng. by which guns
and roads and men are made vlrtu-
ally invisible under screens which
blend with the surrounding terrain,
In the case Of moving ships, under

principles we're found less efficient
than those which frankly admit the

color schemes offer the torpedo such

Lieutenant Commander Norman
Wilkinson, Royal Naval Volunteer
Reserve. the inventor Of "baffle
painting" came to the conclusion at
ter long experiment that the moment
q submarine comes to the surface
within striking distance. no method
OF painting would render a ship suf-
ficiently invisible to escape being
seen.

says, when I thought It possible to

SECRETARY OF LABOR ORDERS

LEONARD 4 DESPERATE CRIMINAL


Portland. Aug. IA radical I.
w. w. leader and anti-war propa-
gandist was eliminated when Harris
Altman. considered one Of the most
dangerous agitators on the Pacific
coast, was deported. Altman was
born in Russia, but is Canadian
citizen by virtue Of his fathers nat
uralization. He will be delivered at
Vancouver. B. G.
The deportation was ordered by
the secretary Of labor on the ground
that Altman had been advising the
unlawful destruction of property.
Pro-German and anti-war literature
was found among his effects. The
United States attorneys office con-
sidered him one Of the most danger

order, and Is said to have planned
a revolution In the United States.
He was recently under serious sus-
picion in connection with fires a
lossing camps In which he was work

Allman's deportation carries con-
siderable Significance in that It re-
veals the attitude Of the immigration
service toward the I. w. w. organi-
ration. An l. w. w. cannot be de-
ported as such, but the very fact
that a man 10 member Of the I. W.
w. organization IS taken by the SER
vice as conclusive proof that he q
q destructionist; and the deportation
laws provide for the elimination OF
such undesirables. The disposition
OF Altman clearly indicates the gov
ernment intention to arrest all aliens
who make themselves obnoxious and
to deal summarily with them. De-
portation proceedings are now pend
ing against other l. w. w. aliens In
this district, according to the Port
land office of the immigration SER

led Altman to Seattle. where he will
be held at the detention station for

effect that he Is one Of the worst

which the presence OF a ship, her
probable size and her course can be
ascertained under water. The prob
lem therefore was resolved into rem
dering the ship as difficult 70 hit as
possible and BATTLE painting. the only
nationally accepted method OF ma
rine camouflage. was evolved.
Battle painting is simply a project
for breaking up all accepted forms Of
a ship by masses Of strongly con-
trasting colors. distorting her ap-
'pearance so as to destroy her gen.
eral symmetry and bulk. The idea
Is totally to mlslead the submarine.
OF course some vessels so painted
have been also sunk, but there are
records Of far greater number at
which 'torpedoes were fired unsuc-
cessfully. Equally important. much
larger proportion Of BATTLE painted
vessels which are hit by torpedoes
are able to make port than ships
painted gray, owing to explosions in
less vulnerable parts. The aim Of
the submarine is thrown Off by the
camouflage.
A clever story Is told Of q meet
ing between an excursion steamer
and vessel outward bound from an
Atlantic port to dare the submarine
under protection of her BATTLE color
design. The passengers crowded the
excursion steamers side to gaze at
the queer boat. which ploughed
steadily forward. Apparently the
camouflaged steamer was heading
straight for the heavily loaded pleas
ure boat and when woman shrlek-
ed, panic was imminent.
Shut up, you fool yelled a man
who understood the principles OF baf-
fle painting. She's heading six
points off"
It was true. The camouflags had
so changed the aspect of the boat
that she seemed to be going in a d.
rection where she was not heading.
