LIFE IN DEATH VALLEY

FOR MINERS.

Christian B. Zabriskie, the million.

prospector and miner at the Cande.
laria, and one Of the old time desert
rats" of earlier Nevada days, main
tains one Of the finest mining organi
cations in the world at his borax dig
gings" which are situated in and nea.
Death Valley. one Of the hottest and
most forbidding places in which to
live that could be found in the world
In spite of this, however, he has with
modern conveniences established a
place to live and work to which labor
ers flock, with long waiting list Of
applicants always on hand. A recent
account of this operation in the Tono-
pah Bonanza says:
Christian B. Zabriskie, the boray
king of the world, who Is lust as
cbummy with his old-time pals as in
the days agone in Candelaria, drifted
into camp this morning and is going
to spend still another day renewing
old associations and wishing up to the
Divide situation, in which he is inter
ested as one of the heaviest stockhold-
ers In the Tonopah & Tidewater rail-
road.
Men Stay on the Job.
"Mr. Zabriskie Is proud of the fact
that he has one Of the best forces of
miners in the United States in spite
of the fact that the scene of opera
tons is in Death valley, where. it is
reported, the mercury has broken out
on the roof of the thermometer on
few occasions. He says this is be-
cause he treats them right and there
fore has the same crew from year to
year, with scarcely a change, and
long waiting list from men who want |
to get employed. The boarding house |
operated by the company sets a bet
ter allround table season in and sea-
son out than the Palace hotel in San |
Francisco, and the men are furnished |
with entertainment by visiting COM
panies and the best movies twice a
week and billiard and pool tables for
spare hours.
THE plant in the valley is running
to capacity for the first time in his
tory, although it has been customary
to close down during July and August.
The borax production at present is on
the basis Of 500 tons month. Six
roasters and an ice plant are kept
busy at Death Valley Junction with
an output of borax of $50 tons daily"

A Proposed Realty transaction

There may not be great deal of enthusiasm in remote parts of the United States that is parts re- mote from the southwest, regarding the proposition acquire by purchase Lower California and a part of Sonora adjacent to the head of the Gulf of Cafor- nia. The people of this country have generally op- posed such territorial acquisitions. Louisiana terri tory was for long time called Jeffersons folly and alaska became known as Stewards folly Neither atrftory was purchased because it believed at the time it was needed and certainly neither Jefferson nor Seward could comprehend the importance of the purchase They were both moved by other considera- ions than those Of bargain driving. There were po-
 icai purposes to be served international reasons for taking those territories over Russia anxious to set rid Of Alaska, and in the belief of Seward, We were under some obligation to Russia.

NEED INSTRUCTORS
 ALI OVER STATE IN
 VOCATIONAL HIGHS

. That there is urgent need of a con- tional subjects for the various high schools of the state was the statement of l. Colodny, director of vocational education.
 The department of vocational edu cation is making an effort to organize evening classes of mechanics for the purpose of preparing them to teach in the high schools of the state. The aim is to select artisans of proved skill, men who are good citizens, and train them for the profession of teaching trades.
 At the present time there is an in creasing demand for shop men to teach in our schools. There is a demand in the classroom for the man that knows a trade from the ground up and who has had contact with the trade for a number of years. These men, properly
 trained, will make excellent teachers.
 The department of vocational educa-
 tion has secured the services of Prof. w. F. Gordon, who will organize short courses in Phoenix for this work. The instruction will be given evenings for those employed in the day time, and during the day for those who work night shifts. At the completion of l the course mapped out by Professor Gordon students will be awarded cer- tificates which will entitle them to each in the high schools of the state. The initial work will deal with meth- ods and principles of teaching, class management closs organization and class discipline, organization of courses
 of study. etc. This instruction will be i given to men who have been selected ! for class work free.
 i All those who are interested in this 1 work are requested to communicate ! with l. Colodny, state director of vo- i catonal education, at the state house

He would either be well on his way through high school or else be be- ginning to fit himself for the tasks of manhood. It was perhaps unnecessary to drag the girls of II who still play with dolls, into it at all. That was done only for the sake of emphasis.

ILLINOIS GETS THE JUMP

Illinois, for once, has the jump on Kansas At the November election the state voted $600c0o00 bond issue for the construction of statewide system of permanent roads by an overwhelming majority. The bonds not to be sold the work to begin until after the war, which happened to end a week following the election. Consequently, Illinois not only has the drop on Kansas permanent roads but has the means if times bad and work is scarce to give every returning soldier who cannot find other employment job great public work where he can be Prospecting and provided with the common necessarie sof life least, until something better is offered.-Emporia Gazette.

To the Editorial Department of The

 l wish to call attention to your edi- torial of this morning entitled Save the Birds" To say that I was sur prised would be putting it mildly, for, after having been a subscriber for many years, l can truthfully say that l have never seen anything so unchar- itable appear in the pages of The Ari- Zona Republican
 It is just and right to save the birds, and the shooting of them should be prohibited. but the matter could be handled differently, and, 1 am sure without such insults to the children for, after all, boys and girls of II are but children, and surely cannot be ex- pected to have lost all their childish ways.
 I have no children, but I want the boys and girls of Phoenix to know they have at least one champion, who while loving birds and wanting them spared, will not sit silently by and allow such unkind and untrue things published about them. So I am going to ask that this be published. Faith fully, SUBSCRIBER.

RRIrAIN,s eLoRlou START

Since God broke chaos into light, And flung the stars upon the night, And set the wonder of the day Upon it's high; celestial way, Illuming itno life and time The unconditional sublime, And vast insentience, touched with plan, Felt that first throb whose end was man. An all-pervading, frightening sense Has led on toward divine intents. In darkest hours of sore travail Doth still the leading sense prevail When eviling airs from hell were spun, And woke the blood-lnre of the Hun, Who every savagery combined To conquer and enslave mankind; Fair Belgium,s sgreatened in her Nrath Stood sword and soul across the path; All France arose in battle-cry- They shall not pass for here de' Still, the untutored Scourge of God Rolled on, and slew and over -trod. Great Britain, queen of ever ysea And righteous champion of the free,
 Led by that righteous sense divine, Was quick on every battle-line. Into the fight her all she hurled Bled unto death to save the world In all of time since entered man Upon the microcosmic plan, In all the heaven drift and flight Of stars that consteate the night And join the word-reel with our sun Old England's sort is numbered one Though We were slow in getting right We were not shlow when in the fight; And though we served a lesser part We helped to pierce the tyrant's hear And in the great summatio- time, We too, shall walk with the sublime

>EREQUENT epidemics of

~ towns below Pendleton
on the Umatilla may possibly
be traceable to lack of sewage
purification here. Echo has
had smallpox and now Rieth
has diphtheria, one death hav-
ing resulted in the latter in
stance. Several cases of small
pox were experienced in Pen
dleton, although diphtheria is
said to be absent.
Water supply in the lower
county towns is largely obtain
ed from wells. These wells un-
doubtedly get their water from
river seepage. The large am
cunt of sewage material receiv-
ed in the river from this city
might affect the water supply
several miles below.
The city has had under con-
sideration for a long time the
construction of a septic tank to
purify sewage. More than a
month ago an engineer was
here to consult with the coun-
ell members interested. Per
haps they have plans for i'm
mediate action. If they have
not, let them consider whether
this city is, in any measure, re-
sponsible for the contagious
diseases below. If it is, the
improvement cannot be made
