WORK ON SHORT LINE ID START
 BEFORE OCT. 1
GOVERNOR TELLS TONY JOHNS THAT DIRT IS TO FLY ON PRESCOTT -JER- ONE ROUTE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

That the actual construction worl, on the new Prescott-Jer cutoff highway is to start not later than October lst is the word that Rep- resentative \. A. Johns brings to Prescott following conference with Governor Hunt at Phoenix on Saturday last. Because or the fact that the United States Highway Council held that the construction Of this road was compatible with the wartime pro- gram of conservation, the last stand upon which the opponents of the road had hoped 10 base their fight has been wiped away and State En- gineer Atwood is no longer in posi- ton to hamper the activities incident 10 the beginning of the construction.
 Mr. Johns stated that Governor Hunt had informed him that the whole road-making machinery of the State would be set m action in be- half of the road just as soon as the men and equipment could be with drawn from jobs upon which they were employed al the present time.
 The construction of this big road which is to link the county seat with the richest copper district in the western United States win- mark the end of the fight which has lasted for more than one year between the boosters and the opponents of the project. For a long time it appeared that the road might not be built be- cause of the opposition which de- velopcd from among certain residents of the county who proposed that the road should be built bv less used route or not at all The State cn, gineer also did what he could to de- lay the project and finally when the pressure became so great for the building of the road. that enterpris- ing gentleman skillfullv passed the buck up to the federal highway com mission. recommending that the mat ter be pigeon-holed for the duration of the war because the road was not 2 military or commercial necessity. The boosters of the project, however, were able to convince the Washing ton authorities that the road was the finest kind of a thing in the way oi furnishing a short line for the move Inent of troops or war supplies, should such a necessity arise, and the commission shortly afterwards ap- proved the application and directed that the construction could proceed as far as ii was concerned.

 What the effect of this huge ini- provement IS going 10 mean to the city of Prescott-measured in terms of dollars and cents-is hard to esti- mate at the present time. However. with an expenditure of nearly two million dollars. and with an increase in the adacent population of some thing like 1.500. local business inter ests are inclined to believe that the commercial life of the city is going to prosper as it never did before and that Prescott is destined to be one of the largest towns in the State. Along with the invalided soldier, and the officers is going to come a large civilian population which IS go- ing to be entirely dependent upon the local business houses for all of the necessities of life. and every busl- ness man who was interviewed on the subject vesterdav was firm m the belief that the city has come face to face with a golden era Of commercial prosperity such as was never before recorded in the annals of the munich . nalitV

 Peace Plan

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. - The United States government will definitely and enphatically reject the proposal of the Austro- Hungarian government for a peace conference. This was an- nounced tonight by Secretary Lansing with the authority of the president.
 Lansing made this statement: "The government of the United States feels there is only one re- ply which it can make to the sug- gestion of the Imperial Austro- Hungarian government. It has repeatedly and with entire candor stated the terms upon which the United States would consider peace, and can and will entertain no proposal for a conference upon a matter concerning which it has made its position and purpose so plain"
 Lansing's statement was given out within half an bur after he had received the Austrian pro- posal. It would have been forth coming immediately upon the de- livery of the Austrian note, ex- cept in order to avoid the pos sibility of grave error. careful comparison between the official text and that received in dis patches was made.
