FORT SALISBURY SHOTS

Colonel w. B. Ladue, Major Paul
A. Hodgson and Mr.. L. D. Shuman.
District Engineers, paid us an Off
cial visit recently. They inspected
the entire reservati ton and were
pleased at the progress made by our
construction engineers. They were
especially interested in The Great
Eastern and Fort Salisbury Rail
way"
We speak of trusting God and do
ing our best fine sentiment. But
the Fowls of the Air" and the fish
es of the sea-" may give us pointers
on this great duty. A pair of xii
dees" made their nest on the tram
way, not more than two feet from
the road travelled by massive trucks
and the feet of men. They were
driven off, perhaps, a thousand times
during the period of incubation But
each time they came back, and finally
Matched their little ones, and so far
as we know, are now safe and free.
Always within two feet of destruc-
tion and death, but they trusted God,
and did their best David said,
There is but a step between me and
death" and yet he lived fairly good
life
John A. Anderson, the overseer of
our gun mounting, has been doing
that work for quarter of a CEN
tury. He has placed guns on all our
prominent forts on the Delaware.
He is a good gunman-not the kind
they have in New York City. He is
quiet and unassuming-but what he
doesn't know about placing guns is
a minimum
This life is full of Disappointment.
The First National Bank of Cedar
Creek, OF which we wrote recently,
i. e., the bank from which our Gov
ernment is supposed to draw for the |
Fort employees, has proved to be a
sand bank
H. G. Mccormick is always glad .
to show visitors over the reservation .
and explain the different features of /
our great batteries.
Well, it was swat-fest. The guns
Of the enemy were trained on our
Datteries-they were shotguns. When
our big 12-inch guns returned the
ire there was CONSERVATION and de-
,truction After viewing the re-
mains it was found that the score

zee the impact was that of bird-shot
against our massive fortihcation-

ihot to a cannon ball. Just think of
nen trying to kill elephants with
BIB shot. But we are good sports
t is true that their best pitcher fail
ID to appear, and that their pinch

SENATOR BALL FIRST
TO VOTE ON ROLL CALL

WASHINGTON, D. C.-United States
Senator L. Heisler Ball is considered
the bell-weather Of the new Re
publican majority in the Senate,
and it is necessary for him to
know every detail of an amendment
or bill under consideration to vOte-in-
telligently when the roll Of Senators
is called. His name is first on the
alphabetical list Of senators on the
Republican side Of the Chamber, and
naturally his colleagues look to his
vote as giving them an indication as
to how they shall vote. This situation
necessitates the Junior senator from
Delaware being on the job when the
vote is taken, and being thoroughly
familiar with the legislation under
consideration.

Reorganization of National Guard on
 Basis 16 Divisions

WASHINGTON. July 16.-Final plans for the reorganization of the National Guard on the Is division basis, with di- visional areas following the same limits as did those from which guard divisions were organized for service against Ger many, were approved today by Secretary Baker.
 Major General Mel. Carter, chief of the bureau of militia affairs, immediately sent notifications to the various adjutant generals of the units allotted to their states and of the readiness of the federal government to extend recognition after the required inspection had been made.
 The organization table announced to- day provides for 47 regiments and IS bat talions of infantry, six regiments, r sQuadrons and 19 troops of cavalry: 10 regiments. 20 battalions and seven bat teries of field artillery and "A coast ar- tillery companies. with additional forces of engineers, sanitary and signal corps.
 A maximum expansion to about 40. .000 men or 800 per senator and congress- man is provided for by the units for the time being are to be organized on the basis of 65 men per company of infantry. as appropriations tor the National Guard for the fiscal year 1920 permit only the organization of the guard on the hasis of 200 men for each senator and representa- tive giving an aggregate strength or about 1o6. 1000

.SUPT. HOFFMAN BACkFROME EAST Mining Conditions
 Greatly Improved. Says Sliding Scale in Effect
 Here Will Regulate Future
 Wage Advances.

Arthur Notman, Mines Supt of the Copper Queen Branch, returned Tuesday from an extended pleasure trip to Chicago, St Louis and New York and several other eastern points of interest.
 MT Notman stated yesterday that he had attended a reunion of the class of 1903 at Harvard of which he was a graduate and that it was one of the largest gatherings of it's kind in the east. They were unable to hold a reunion last year on account of so many members of this class being away in various capacities of war work and so this year was more largely attended than any before.
 MT. Notman's family are at the beaches near Los Angeles and will remain there for the balance of the summer
 In regard to mining conditions MT. Notman stated that he believed there was a general improvement in con- ditions all over the country and that while wages had been increased in a very few isolated cases he did not believe there would be any material change for a few months yet until the industry was back on a more sta ble footing, and so far as the local condition was concerned the sliding scale was in use here and would pre- vail as long as it was satisfactory to- all concerned

EXPENSE ID BE HEAVY TO STATE DUE ID LACK OF PROP ER CARE .ON PART CO. ATTY. AND H|REUNGS
Prosecutor Admits Deputies Arrested De- fendants in Error; That Warrants Do Not Name ''The Right Party in Alleged DepOrters.

DOUGLAS, July 16.-The cases of James Boyd, Fred Santdner and Phil Tovrea, scheduled to be taken up for hearing today on the charge of kid naping in connection with the depor- tation from Bisbee, July F, 1917, of more than HOO alleged I. W. w. and their alleged sympathizers, failed to be heard. Early in the proceedings, after court had assembled, the county attorney announced, that through an error made by his deputies in prepar- ing the complaint and warrant, these men were charged with deporting the wrong man." He said he had wit nesses who could test1Zy that all three had been seen in the line guaroing the deportees, but that the warrant did not name ''the right party" so he could not proceed, therefore asked continuance
 Tt is not the courts desire to have these men come here every day and then go back home to Bisbee with nothing accomplished" said Judge w. c. Jacks, the presiding magistrate. The county attorney said he coul have the complaint amended in the superior court at Tombstone. He added that due to bad roads some of his witnesses had been delayed.
 The county attorney stated that all evidence had been offered in the case Of Harry Walters, whose hearing had

whole effect of his replies was that by preparedness he meant prepared ness greater than was needed for de. fense, and he regarded the army and navy of 1916 as quite adequate By scarecrows and vultures he meant | those who advocated an army and navy greater than those of 1916.
 Throughout the session the air was thick with the objections oi fhe Ford , lawyers, Alfred Lucking and Alfred G. Murphy. In arguing one of them, Mir Lucking, said:
 T desire a further objection that counsel has been told by the witness several times that he hired an expert to write this book, that he gave him his general views, that he told him to be careful of his facts. Questions of this sort, which might be considered expert questions should go only to the man who wrote it, not to the man who, it is admitted, had the right to hire a man to prepare the facts. He has told counsel repeatedly that he did not pre- pare the language.
 MT Stevenson in reply, said:
 The comments of the Chicago Tribune were not based on what MT. Lavaigne did, nor anybody else, but what MT. Ford gave to the public They knew nothing about Mir. Della vigne. These articles claim the SUD- port of history and history is some thin MT. Ford knows nothing about"
 MT. Stevenson stated that he regard ed MT. Ford as the most important witness of the case and added:
 
 my duty to examine Mir Ford thor oughly on this subject so that the jury may understand just what MT. Ford's views were in order to determine whether he was what we called him or not"
 When the question of preparedness was under discussion, Mir. Stevenson was pursuing MT. Ford's characteriza- tton of preparedness advocates as mur- derers. 'I advocated preparedness after we got into the war;" said MT. Ford.
 But you were speaking of 1915 and lSl6," explained the lawyer. The wit. ness in an apparent abstraction ignor. ed the dates, and, following his own train of thought, added:

 Do you mean that in 1917 you were the same kind of a murderer that ad. Vocates of preparedness were in 1915 and 1916?V7

is as follows: Number the hous- es on the principal streets, as Naco Road, Brewery Gulch, etc. as in any other city; that is, start out at some point, and number the houses odd on one side, even on the other, leaving numbers for all vacant pieces of ground, so that if houses were built, there would be number for them. This only numbers the houses on the streets, and you have the houses on the hills to number. The way I would sug- gest is this: If a house on the street had house directly above it, it would be given the same number, adding a letter to the end. as "A" for the first house, "B" for the second, and 70" for the third, etc, taking for exam pie if the Brooks apartments on O. K. Street were numbered "95" then the houses directly behind it would be "95B." and the house above that would be "95C," and so on. The numbers on Brewery Gulch would reach from Brew cry Gulch to O. K. Street on the East side. and the O. K. Street numbers would hold above O. K. Street. On the West side of Brewery Gulch, the Brewery Gulck numbers would hold from Brewery Gulch to Opera Drive, and the Opera Drive numbers above Opera Drive. On School Hill from Clawson avenue to the top of the hill, the Clawson Ave. numbers would hold from Clawson Ave. to Temby Ave; Temby Ave. numbers from Tenn y Ave. to High Road and above the High Road.
