SCENIC ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT
 PROBABLE
REPORTED FROM PHOE- NIX THAT THE STATE cONTEMPLATES MAKING THE SENATOR HIGHWAY REAL BOULEVARD.

If road building plans of the pres ent administration at Phoenix are carried out, one of the movements will be the widening of the sharp curves on the state highway leading out of Prescott to the south for dis tance of approximately l6 miles to the summit of Senator hill. It is re- ported by arrivals from Phoenix that such action will at an early date re- ceive consideration by the state en- ginter. and in all probability this summer will see the work under head way and completed.
 This driveway is popular with sum mer visitors, owing to the high ani picturesque elevations traversed, and the only complaint heard is over the narrow roadbed on several curves, making it dangerous for either naul- ing or motoring unless extreme care is exercised.
 In maintenance of this division ths annual outlay is reduced to a mini mum expense owing to the grade be- ing capped with a tecomposed gran te, which is procured at many points along the route. Aside from the pleasure features of placing this high way in the best possible condition for speed and safety, the resourceful mineral country which it taps has been made far more productive since it has been available than in all the years of the past. The realigning Of he road and the reducing of the linn ted number of curves will give many benefits to the country in promoting and attracting tourists.

precipitation occurred until the
 storm that began on the 30th and
 was in progress at the close of the month, covering the state with snow at the higher levels and moderately heavy rains in the valleys.
 At the end of the month reports of snow on the ground show that depths in the upper Little Colorado basin, the White Mountains, and in the region between the upper Yer de and Little Colorado rivers rang ed from five to twenty inches, and over the plateau region north of the Colorado river and in the northeast ern part of the state there was, on the average, less than one inch of snow. There were from one to four inches over the upper Verde water shed, while in the lower Verde, Has sayampa, Agua Fria and Gila basins the snow had practically all disap- peared. Mogollon Range, Little Col orado watershed, and Bill Williams Colorado watershed, had a greater depth of snow at the end of the month than for the same pc riod in past seasons, while the depth on Camp Wood mountain and Juni- per mountain, Verde watershed, was about the average.
 The forest ranger at By Ranger station, Little Colorado watershed, reports that on account of the unus- ually cold weather during January, the snow line is. much lower than for past winters, the approximate elevation being 6,O00 feet.
 Observers generally reported the snow as being well packed and solid and the water content high. InI districts nearly all the pre- cipitation for the past three months has either been absorbed by the soil or held in reserve in the form of snow or ice.
 While the snowfall for the month was deficient, the reports of heavy accunulations in the mountains as a result of the storm that continued over the first two days of February, indicate that an. ample supply of wa ter for irrigation purposes will be available if normal conditions pre- vail during February and March.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
 HAD IDEAS ON THRIFT.
(From Saturdays Daily.l

.I
 The 18th anniversary of the birtl of George Washington finds hi. memory as sacred in the hearts oi Americans as. at any period of ouf history. His advice against foreign alliances" has been disregarded-had to be disregarded in the face oI events-but not even in this has the Father of Our Country been discred- tied.
 This year another phase of Wash ington's policies has been brought to the forefront as the result of the war and the leaders of the thrift move ment are using his appeals to in- crease fine habit of thrift. Every one of the following quotations is an urge to buy Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps:
 q am no more disposed to squan- der than to stint"
 Economy makes happy homes and sound nations. Instill it deep"
 Tt is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest"
 q cannot enjoin too strongly upon you a due observance of economy and frugality"
 Keep an account book and enter therein every farthing of your re- ceipts and expenditures.
 Promote frugality and industry by example, encourage manufactures. and avoid dissipation"
 Reason, too late perhaps, may convince you of the folly of mis- spending time"
 There is no proverb in the whole of them more true than a penny saved is a penny got"
 Nothing but harmon, honesty, in dustry, and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy na- tion."

FREAKISH WORK OF
 NATURE IN MINERALOGY
tFrom Tuesdays Daily.)

The transition of the mineral char acter of the Copper King in Eureka district, from zinc to copper is re- ported by arrivals from tne camp as being pronounced and absolute. The rcd metal was developed a short time ago in sinking a winze from the 30O- foot level when an eight-foot ore body was exposed, and much to the surprise. of the operators, the zinc content disappeared.
 Heretofore the King has been rated as exclusively zinc bearing, and has been steadily shipping a product of this mineral ranging as high as 50 per cent.
 Determining of the new zone is not to interfere with operations for the future, as the original metal abounds in great tonnage and regular shipping thereof is to continue indefinitely Those whos bring the news to Pres colt of the3 latest situation say that the new zone penetrated is practically copper in it's native state. For this reason the property is creating gen eral comment for its freakish revela- tions.

 The biggest cleanups of stolen prop
 erty known in many months in this
 City and for shrewd work, it is without a parallel As a result three MeXicahs are now in the county jail, charged with grand larceny, and the big loot was recovered. The central operating point was Valdrini hotel, while the final cache was Stoney Point, a lodging quarter among the rocks of West Prescott. Here is d part of the inventory of the principal stock of goods on hand, which for utility would indicate that the thieves were not inclined to be discriminat- ing, so far as the sex was to be con sidered, as they took everything in sight:
 Two pair of mems shoes, one pail of women's shoes, two pairs of boys shoes, two women's hats, boys overcoat, one woman's tailored suit, a new raincoat, one new suit case, with cost mark of $22 filled with another suit case, nearly new, also filled, large box of beads, assorted colors, a full set of fifteen pool balls, and a large assortment of other goods and ware to indicate a long system of successful stealing.
 The officers followed one thread and then another during the long hunt for the guilty ones, and like the little bee gathering the sweets to 1 store away in the hive, SO did the 1 MeXicans. leave a trail from the Val l lrini to Stoney Point, where they were arrested together in a dingy lit lie room ready to bulge out with 1 
 House breaking, with, kindred 1 ,rimes, have been occurring in this :ity with frequency during the past wo months, and many complaints lave been lodged by those suffering. The sheriff's office has made the irst big cleanup, and it proposes to ;eep up the good work. Many of he articles have been identified by he owners, and they will be return q 10 them in due time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(From Sundays Daily)

To the Editor of the Journal l-Miner
 Sir:-Aliow me to make a few
 comments on your editorial of Feb
 ruary 20th, entitled Where Is That
 Whip Hand"
 Your recapitulation of the vote on
 suffrage under democratic congress. es is not complete without a recapit- ulation of the vote under republican congresses. Allow me to give it.
 The federal suffrage amendment was first introduced in the United States senate by Senator A. A. Sar- gent of California, January 10, 1878. Although this matter was many times reported favorably by the com mittee it was never brought to a vote until January, 1887, when it re- ceived l6 yeas and 34 nays. After that it rested quietly just being re- ported out of committe often enough to keep the men agitated OH the sub ject and the antis mad until March 19, 1914.
 In the house the bill was first in- troduced in 1883, but it never got a look out of committee there until January l2th, 1915. And all this time the republicans held undisputed sway over both houses of congress until the Wilson administration was ushered in.
 But now comes a change and on March 18th, 1914 with democrat, majority in both houses of congress the federal suffrage amendment shows its first signs of animation in 7 years and was brought to a vote and received s yeas and 34 nays The various votes on this measure i'll both houses of congress is a mat. ter of recent history and while your figures are not entirely correct the tact remains that more republican members have voted for it than dem ocratic members. But it is also set forth that this fact is more than off set by other defections chargeabIe to the republicans as for instance. when the vote was taken in the sem ate last October and failed by two votes, Senator Jones, democrat changed his vote from yea to nav and moved a reconsideration of the i bill. At this time it was openly that failure was due to Sen ator Pollock. democrat, of South Carolina and Senator Moses of New Hampshire, republicans, who were false to their pledges. The last vote on this bill, February 10th, was the reconsideration moved by Senator Jones. The bill then failed by one vote. And wno came through? The women say it was the democratic. party when Senator Pollock gave the

 CRUEL DEATH FROM HATE
(From Sundays daiiy.9

At Seattle, Washington, on Febru- ary 4, the scaffold on which were working George Lamar and two other brickmasons, gave way, and in falling below about 47 feet, Lamar was killed outright, while his com panions escaped with serious injur- ies,. but will live, it is believed. An inspection of the pulley rope showed it rad been freshly cut, and the yer dict of the coroner's jury was that it was criminal act of some party or parties whose identity was not known.
 It is presumed the deed was com mitteed by some person affected by the strike, and one of the victims stated he had been repeatedly asked to quit work out of sympathy with other strikers. Lamar is said to have worked at his trade in Phoenix, Prescott and Jerome up to about one year ago. He was aged about 3S years, and leaves two children, hiss wife passing away at Albuquerque before lie came to Arizona.

 although he was urgently requested
 to do so by Will Hayes, national re.
 publican committeeman, and many other republicans of national repute,
 among them being the late Theodore
 Roosevelt, who was one of the
 staunchest friends of the federal
 suffrage amendment. Newspapers
 say that even Senator Curtis, the re-
 publican whip, told Senator Mosoes
 to have a little political sagacity"
 but the women say that the whips of

 So now who is to blame? The last
 issue of The Woman Citizen says
 Senator Lodge, republican, of Mas
 sachusetts, is the man "who ate the
 canary'' and this paper is strictly non-partisan and flays democrats
 and republicans alike when they prove false to suffrage. In summing up the situation it lays the blame fairly at the doors of Senator Wads, worth of New York and Senator Bo- rah of Idaho, both republicans, as being the only senators from stuff. rage states who dared defy their women constituents, and concludes that neither democratic nor republic an party as such is to blame but places it squarely upon individuals Oh, the women are in a temper all right and it is true that they are sharpening up several large sized for certain worthies of both parties. Indeed some have al- ready gotten theirs, and the Novem- Der issue of The Woman Citizen gave quite sizeable list of undesir- ables among congressional aspirants who had been weeded out by means of said snickersnee. The women confidently assert that they have the necessary two-thirds in both houses Of the next congress. As the incom- ing congress will have a republican it is clear that it will be ur to, them to pass the suffrage amend ment, and that their doing so will give them a party advantage we democrats reluctantly admit.
 But Stop, look and listen" There are now Is full suffrage states with B in all having presidential suffrage.
