Another Pioneer Gone.

Mr.. D. E. Hanks passed away
last Saturday morning, death re-
sulting from pneumonia after an
illness of about ten days. Mr..
Hanks had been in poor health
since early last fall when he had
serious siege Of pneumonia,
and for several weeks he how
cred near the brink. He finally
recovered sufficiently to be out
again, but his vigor and strength
was gone, and about ten days
ago he was taken to his bed with
a returning attack of the dread
disease.
The passing of Mr.. Hanks
leaves another vacancy in the
ranks of the early pioneers of
this city. He was a native son
of California, and came to Ari-
zona in the early territorial days
as a conductor on the Southern
Pacific, and later came to the
Santa Fe in a similar capacity.
When he quit the railroad service
he returned to California for a
few years, but the call of the
frontier was too strong, and he
came again to .Winslow and
started a transfer and coal busi-
ness. For number of years in
the early days of the city, when
civilization was primitive, he
acted as city marshal when the
duties Of that position required a
quiet courage that compelled
obedience to the law. At one
time Mr.. Hanks was possessed
of considerable wealth, and al
ways being a lover of horses, in
vested IN a racing stable which
proved rather unfortunate.
Deceased was a bachelor, and
never very communicative about
his family, very little was known
of his relatives. Among his eff
fects was found a letter from a
neice living in California, and a
telegram was sent to her apprais-
ing her of the death of her uncle.
1t was his dying request that his
body be cremated, and his ashes
scattered in the bay at San
Francisco, as this is where his
father landed in the early days
of the gold rush to California.
The body was shipped to San
Francisco last Saturday evening.

A Boiler Inspector.

Did you have your steam boiler
inspected? Tom Comerer didn't.
A short time ago the thresher-
men of this county were visited
by Mr.. S. S. Leach, of Everett,
who informed them that the
State required that they should
have their steam boilers in
spected, that he was the gentle
men that did the work, and that
the cost would be eleven dollars
per. Most of the threshermen
didn't talk back. 7. j. Comerer
saw an attorney first, and when
the attorney requested Mr.. Leach
to show his credentials, the in
spector waxed wroth, and de-
parted. The attorney wrote to
the Department of Labor and
Industry at Harrisburg and from
the reply, received the following
information: "Mr. Leach is an
authorized inspector to inspect
boilers operated by the Pennsyl-
vania Threshermen and Farmers
Protective Association. By an
arrangement between the
Threshermen's association and
theinspectors appointed by THEM,
the fee for inspection to men,
bers of the association IS So, 90
PLUS EXPENSES. The inspection
of boilers where farm labor is
employed is a protective measure,
and one which we believe is nee
essary, altho at the present time,
NOT COMPULSORY" "
The kick against Mr.. Leach
is, that he represented to thresh-
ermen that it was compulsory
on their part to have their boil
ers examined, that he was ap-
pointed by the State for that
purpose, and that it was up to
them to pay the fee he assessed.

Interest in Sheep Increases.

There is an increased interest
in growing sheep both for mutton
and wool, according to a report
just received by the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture from the sheep-extension
husbandmen in Indiana. This
feeling, according to specialists
of the Department of Agricul-
ture, prevails in many other
States. The increase in produc-
ton is being obtained from the
saving OF eve lambs and the in
PRODUCTION of good stock from the
western range.

Find Sugar Substitutes for BottIers.

Methods of reducing the con-
sumption of sugar in soft drinks
have been worked out by the
Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, which is now cooperating
with producers throughout the
United States. The bureau has
prepared directions for making
soft drinks which include form
ulas that utilize substitute sweet
materials snch as corn sirup
Ordinary glucose, corn sugar,
maltose sirup, honey, and high
grade refner's sirup. BY follow
ing these directions, which are
being distributed among bottlers
the actual sugar content in soft
drinks can be cut to 80 per cent
or less. A saving of approxi-
mately $4,000 tons of sugar an
nually, is thus possible, it is esti-
mated, and at the same time the
customary taste and quality of
the beverage can be preserved.
1t is estimated that there are
10000 producers of soft drinks
ia the United States. employing
1000, 900 workers. and having
a total capitalization of $3.50, 600,
900.

NEW POWERFUL GAS
MADE IN PHILADELPHIA

Phil delphla, July 27.-Rlght
here IN Philadelphia gas masks
are being made that will revolu
tlonize gas warfare. ;" They are
ad NIT edly superior to any now
in use by Eoglish or French
troops.
They are virtually perfect, be-
ing able to take care" ofany and
all of the seventy-slx different
kinds of gas used by Fritzle.
AS if that wasn't honor
enough for this city, comes the
development that government
chemists working in the various
laboratories in the city, notably
at the University Of Pennsylva
MA, have just perfected a gas
that "no German mask can stop"
"Uncle Sam" is going to give the
Germans a real touch of their
own warfare.
The most deadly of all the Hun
gases Is known as the "G-76 "
This newly invented American
gas Is so much more powerful
and deadly than &c 76" as to
make comparisons impossible. II
is now being manufactured as
quickly as possible and when
turned outiu sufficient quantities
will be shipped overseas to Gen.
eral Pershing. After our men
become proficient in its use II
will be turned upon the Ger mans,
It's so positively deadly tina,
in the unlimited tests that the
American officers have made Of
it no mask Of any nation Car
stand up under it. 1t will, liter
ally and figuratively, burn its
way to Berlin.
The nature Of the invention Is
not permitted to be told. 1t is 8
closely guarded government Sc
cret. For mon this the chemists
have been at work IN various lab
oratories perfectlng the produc'
to its present point.

Good Roads Saved France.

Good roads have twice saved
France in the present war. Had
it not been for the radiating road
system maintained by the French
Government. the Germans would
have won the battle of the Marne
and reached Paris. The Ger
mans had calculated on only three
divisions being sent out from
Paris to stop the invasion. In
stead the excellent system of
highways made it possible for
five divisions to, be sent to the
front.
Again. shortly after the battle
OF Verdun started, the French
railroad which was to furnish
many of the supplies to the troops
was destroyed. The French Gov
ernment, however, had a macad-
am road 80 feet wide on which
four lines of traffic, two in either
direction, were main tained.
Day and night $4,000 motor
trucks carried men and equip.
ment.
The traffic never stopped.
When a hole was made in the
road, man with a shovelful Of
rock slipped in between the lines
of trucks and threw the rock into
the hole, then jumped aside to
let the trucks roll the rock down.
Then another man would follow
his example, and so on until the
hole was filled. Trucks that
broke down were showed aside,
and repaired almost instantly.
Had the French depended on their
railroad or on poor highways the
Germans would have won the
battle.
There are few places in which
tgood roads will win great militia
ry victories. But there are many
places in which they will win
great victories in time of peace.
Whenever a crisis military,
economic, or social-occurs in the
life of acommunity, the condition
of the roads is a significant factor
in determining whether the com
munity will 20 up or down, for,
ward or backward. The com
munity with good roads is the
community that will deliver
the goods when the necessity
comes.
