Arizona Moves Forward

Arizona has developed the last
few years by leaps and bounds.
Agricultural development has ex-
panded enormously. Thousands
of acres of desert are constantly be-
ing made green with prosperous
farms. The vast untouched min
eral resources of the state are grad
ually being developed and more of
the profits are being left in Arizona
instead of being shipped to the east
and to foreign countries. New
banks are constantly being estab-
lished, with capital coming to be
owned more and more by Arizonans
whose interests are here. Strong

American Legion Post Will Be
Named for Cochise Boy

At the meeting of the returned
service men held last evening the
preliminary work toward securing
local post of the legion was com
pleted and a temporary chairman
was elected to make application for
charter from the national organl-
zation. O. G. Bell was elected and
will at once make application for
the charter, and as soon as received
a meeting Of all service men will
be called to perfect the permanent
organization, elect officers and
name the various committees. The
name selected for the post was one
of the questions before the meeting
and it was unanimously decided
that the Tombstone post would be
named in the honor of Roy e..

The Grape Industry

When the dry regime was still
distant, the grape-growers of Cali
fornia and Ohio were asking in
dismay, What will we do with our
grapes?"
Now they know. They will make
grape juice and grape jam and
grape jelly and grape syrup out of
them. And from the present de-
mand and present prices. it is evi-
dent that they will make more
profit from these products than
they ever made from their wine.
Producers of grains, hops and
nearly all the other things which
formerly entered into the manufac-
ture of alcoholic or malt liquors
are having a similar experience.
Their products crn be used for
temperance drinks and for food
stuffs for which the public is clam
oring.

Auditorium to be Repaired

An adjourned meeting of citizens
interested in saving the Auditor
iu1n building was held at the bank
Wednesday evening. 1t was de-
cided to go ahead with repairs to
the building and put it in shape
for dances and entertainments, in
temporary way, at the earliest
possible time, although it seemed
to be the idea that eventually more
substantial improvement should be
made.
1t was decided to rebuild the
sides along the original lines as the
walls damaged and rendered unsafe
by the storm of two weeks ago.
There was some talk of tearing
away the shed or lean-to running
the length of the building on the
west side and using that material
to enclose the hall along the line
of inner supporting pillars, but this
idea was abandoned and all the
original floor space Of the hall is to
be retained. Immediate beginning
of the repairs was decided on and
arrangements made therefor.
1t is desired to have the build
ing in shape for the Cattlemen's>
Convention early in September.
While sufficient funds have been
secured or pledged to take care of
the purchase price and the tempo
rary repairs, it is intended to form
a stock company, with capital of
probably $4,000 in order to give a
working capital sufficient to make
it creditable hall for public en-
tainments and maintain its rep
utation as the largest and best
dancing hall in the state.
Mr.. S. L. Wilson stepped into
the breach at the critical time and
saved the hall to Benson when its
removal had been positively de-
cided on, and for SO doing deserves
the thanks and Appreciation of all
Benson people who have at heart
the towns welfare.

Wage Increase in the Warren
District

That a substantial increase in
wages and salaries would be grant
ed the men working for the various
companies of the Warren district,
was decided at a meeting in Tucson
last night, of all the principal
operators of the state.
Details of the increase have not
yet been worked out, but represent
atives of the various companies are
in conference this afternoon, work
ing out the details. The Ore, how
ever, has it on good authority that
a very substantial increase has been
decided on, to commence July Is.
The increase will apply not only to
the men working in the mines, but
to the engineering and Office force
as well.
This move has been under con-
sideration for some time by the
companies, due to the fact that the
high cost of living has not dropped
as was anticipated with the coming
of peace and now that copper is
once more on the up grade, the
companies are giving their men the
benefit of the increase in price.
The wage increase will be con-
siderably more than the present
price of copper would bring the
men, based on the sliding scale
formerly in use. .-Bisbee Ore.

Front Line" Magician to Give
Entertainment Here

D. c. MacIver, prominent min
ing man of Prescott, will give a
Trench Fun entertainment here
Thursday evening, July 81, in the
Presbyterian Church. Mr.. Mac

call came for entertainers in over
seas Y. M. C. A. work and gave
nearly a year of his time to max
ing the boys Over There. laugh.
He spent a number of years of his
earlier life in the American vaude-
vile circuits, playing in many of
the leading amusement houses of
the country. He won success dur
ing his vaudeville career as an en-
tertainer, magician and humorist,
and his ability as gloom chas-
err made possible many happy
hours for our boys at the front.
The Y. M. c. A. operated large cir
cult of theaters for the boys. These en-
tertainment houses gave over 100 perform
ances each day. in addition to many en-
tertainments that were given in the front
line trenches and other temporary quar-
ters. Six hundred and nine of the best
American entertainers were with the Y
over there at the time the armistice was
signed.
Mr.. Maclver entertained hundreds of
thousands of men in these Y theaters, and
also spent two months under FIRE enter
tanning the boys who were holding down
the front lines and making almost daily
expeditions across No Mans Land. The
first day that Maclver was in the front line
service he won the French war cross, the
Croix de Guerre. One hundred and FIVE
Y workers have been decorated for brav-
cry and service in their work while under
FIRE, and one hundred and sixty-three
others have been cited in official reports
for bravery.
Through the courtesy Of the Interstate
Committee of the 7. NJ c. A.. with head
quarters at El Paso Mr. MacIver has been
scheduled to give one Of his Trench
Fun" entertainments to the people of this
community. He will give the same enter
tainments that he gave in the trenches, in
the prison camps and with the Army Of
Occupation in Germany. This affords the
public an opportunity to see what fine
class of entertainment the Y. M. c. A. pro-
vided for the soldiers over there free of all
charges.
