The Wonders Of America
HE'LL GATE BRIDGE.

THE completion of the New York
i Connecting railroad gave us our
first all-rail through route from New
England, via New York, to the rest
of America and continuous rail line
UP and down the Atlantic coast from
Key West to Halifax. 1t also calls
to mind the fact that the insurmOunt-
able obstacle which had heretofore
blocked the way had been overcome
and the supposedly impossible accom-
plished.
Before this route, could be opened,
1t was necessary to get trains across
that terror to navigators. the rocky
bottomed tidal channel. known. as
Hell Gate" between Long Island
shore and Wards Island in the East
river, opposite Manhattan Island on
which New York city proper stands.
the channel, and the stretch was con-
sidered too great to be covered by
one arched span. An. engineer with
vision came to the rescue and trains
now cross on wonderful four-tracked
steel bridge A peerless, steel arch, l.
OFT feet long, said to be the longest
as well as the heaviest ever flung
across any waterway of equal width,
now bridges the gap. The entire
weight is carried by gigantic 250-foot
high towers on either shore. The
bridge is SO feet wide, designed to car
ry 10000 pounds per linear foot. The
extreme height Of the arch is more
than. 800 feet above the water. .-.
About 10000 tons Of steel were used.
The towers are bedded in solid rock,
and it Is estimated that they contain
100000 cubic feet of masonry. The
bridge cost $12,OOO,OOO.

Companies is one which occupies considerable at

- There is a greater need for cooperation between
the Utility Company and the Consumer than ever
before. - -
! The Man in the Street is thinking as he never
did before-he looks at the Utility Company and be-
ieves it is prosperous Why should he not share in
it's prosperity? nas ~ oa,-..r.
Not long ago a Power company received author
ity to add temporary surcharge to it's rates.
certain consumer living in the territory supplied
went to his neighbor one day and said, 'How about
this surcharge the power company is collecting?
Don't you think we had better look into it ?" The
neighbor replied, ."No, have been making inquiries
regarding the uncomfortable expenses our company
has had to face and we feel that the surchaige is
justified" The other man exclaimed, ''What do you
mean by our company?" Thereby was, ooh, Pm
stakeholder of the Power Company"
What better plan forits own protection and
prosperity can Public Utility Company adopt than
by making the Man in the Street full partner in
the organization? If the company is properly man
aged, if it has made favorable impression upon the
favor, and it will not be difficult to convince him
that in order to make the relationship perfect, he
should be stockholder
Some wise man has said the best way to con-
serve private ownership is to increase the number
of private owners. Who is brave enough to say
that is not the answer to the problem?

MISPROCEDURE INVALIDATES LAW.

T7HE outcome Of the case Of State of Arizona VS..
IN CD. Rankin, in the Superior Court Tuesday,
= gives rise to- reflection of inquiry Why
cannot the legislature of Arizona draw an enact
ment covering Seizure and sale of automobiles ia
ken in illegal transportation of liquor that will be
sustained by the courts?
The first enactment of that nature was declar-
ed invalid by Judge Pattee, in Pima county. Then
the last legislature enacted another measure and
that went by the board before Judge O'Connor this
week.
Now in the matter of seizures of cattle under
the statutes regulating the livestock industry the
law holds good: Every day the federal government
siezes and sells property taken in violation of fed
eral revenue laws In both those instances the laws
are drawn so they hold In every instance proceed
ure has to be against the property siezed. In the
case at bar Tuesday the procedure was against an
individual owning the property. Under rulings and
decisions presented by counsel for the owner the
court could do nothing but find as it did.
The former law invalidated by Judge Pattee
there had similar fatal defect; and the very next
legislature made the same kind of mistake in draf-
ting another enactment. ss+
s, Perhaps the next legislature will frame law
with the correct procedure.

Sunday night, about 8 O'Clock, while
Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Chamberlain and
their son, James, were on their way
to attend services at the Baptist
Church, they were run into by an au-
to, driven by Dance Owens, the acct
dent occurring on First South street
opposite the Owens residence.
Little James was thrown under the
auto and Mrs. Chamberlain saved her.
self by grabbing hold of the running
board. The boy was unconscious
when picked up by his father.
They were taken to their home and
a doctor summoned. James received
bfuise on the back of his head
and Mrs. Chamberlain sustained
bruises on body and suffered from
shock.
The accident was due to the dark
ness and the fact that the auto had
no front lights. The Chamberlains
had turned aside to get out of the
way of the auto, but the driver in
turning to go in front of the Owens
residence, did not see them. Mr..
Chamberlain jumped aside just as the
auto struck the boy and Mrs. Cham
berlain.
1t is miracle that the boy and his
mother were not killed.

Wyona Taylor, member of the

young lady who has accomplished
such feat which rivals in the amount

huge tasks our great grandmothers
used to accomplish in their kitchens.
The two hundred and forty varie-
ties were on exhibit at the State Fair
in the section of the agricultural
building devoted to the work of the
University of Arizona extension SER
vice. All kinds of fruit and vege-

included in the collection. Wyona has
won several prizes on her splendid
accomplishment, among them being

Newsy Interest About people in Arizona From

Miami Silver Belt, November 10
Owing to the fact that Special
Agent Sisk of the department of JUS
tice, is in Phoenix on business today
and the fact that other department
of justice officials are also out of
town the date of the. trial of the I.
w. w. leaders who were arrested in
this district Saturday could not be
learned.
A search among the effects of Dan
Klasna and Dominick Guisano, the
two alleged l. w. WIS who were ar
rested, brought to light many books
and pamphlets printed in foreign lam
guages. The books dealt mostly with
communist soviet and Bolsheviki gov
ernments.
Dan Klasna is said to be an Aus
trian and Dominick Guisano is said
to be an Italian.
Several hundred copies of "Der
Klassenkapf," the new l. w. w. paper
printed in German were found among
the effects of Klasna. 1t is alleged
that the department of justice of
ficials have known of the l. w. w.
leaders intention to open campaign
in Globe for some time and that they
were watching for the appearance of
the literature with which the propa-
ganda was to be carried on.
Both arrested men are nov at the
county Jail in Globe, where they will
be held pending further investigation.

slightly damaged. Four or five of
the passengers were slightly hurt but

FEW MARRIAGES PAST YEAR.
Sharp Falling Of Due to Young Men
Being in Europe-vital Statistics
For Brattleboro.

Vital statistics for Brattleboro for the
year 1918, which have just become avail
able show marked decrease in the
number of marriages over the figures Tor
1911 In the past year the number of
marriages in Brattleboro was so as against
$50 for the previous year. The Durham
marriage law went into effect May l. 1917
J'p to that time there had been l49 mar
rages. and there were 10 in the remain
ing eight months or 81 more than the en-
tire year of 1913.
While the Durham marriage law was re-
sponsihle for reducing shc number Of mar
liages in the balance OF 1917. it is un
douhtedly ii fact that the principal reason
for the large decrease in 1918 was the
absence of the young men in Europe.
The births show a decrease of 80 ovel
those of 1917, while the deaths show an
increase OF A, due partly to the epidemic'
of influenza and pneumonia which hav,
visited this community.
The births were divided among the at
! tending physicians as follows: c. r. Al
diich, four; Grace Burnett, 80; n. =
! Greene, 10; G. y. Hunter, four; W. j
Iiaine, one W. H. Lane, eight; +. r
Lynch, %; A l. Miller, "a; f. l., Tracy
three; Henry Tucker. two: Fl. l.. Water

In 1918 there were l5j births. 222 death
and 90 marriages. The l2-month periot
preceding, 1917. the records showed Is
births. l7S deaths and go marriages. Tn
1916 records showed 1853 births, 1913 death
and 573 marriages.

The water pools sheen whore the grass
