DAILY BOAT NOW TO
HARST|ME ISLAND
ARRANGEMENTS MADE THIS
wEEK-GRAPE INDUSTRY DE-
vELOPs RAPIDLY.

Daily boat service which will bring
the residents Of Harstine island and
the mainland along Pickering Pass
into closer relaaons with Olympia,
was arranged for this week by Charles
Somers. Jr., a resident OF that dis
trict for years, who, with his brother,
is now cultivating a vineyard on
Stretch island; just beyond Hastine.
on q tract of land adjoining that of
Adam Eckert, the pionaar grape
grower Of the islands.
Eckert, who is president of the
Island Belle Grape Growers Union.
gave a promising forecast of the
future of new Puget Sound indus
try, at the unions recent annual
meeting at Detroit. He stated that
l1918 was the most successful and
profitable year since grapes had be-
come factor in developing the
Puget Sound grape belt in the waters
of southern Puget Sound. Fifty
thousand baskets of grapes was the
seasons crop. which sold at fancy
prices, he said. an average in Seattle
of 45 cents a basket wholesale, which
figured from 5000 to $500 an acre,
based on the 1918 average yield
throughout the district.
To meet the growing demand and
to encourage the planting of addi.
tional acreage, Eckert urged the es-
tablishment of nursery for the rails
ing OF young vines. The meeting
took steps to put this idea into effect
and it was decided to furnish these
vines at actual cost to the growers
who would set them out In the dis
trict.
Mr.. Eckert announced that the new
grape juice plant on Stretch island,
which bottled 1000 gallons of Juice
last year. had doubled. it scapacity
and would be able to take care of any
excess crop should there be one, but
said last years demand so far exceed
ed the supply of basket fruit that he
had no fear of declining market.
In discussing the care of a vine
yard, Eckert, who has had 20 years
experience in raising grapes and
other fruits on Puget Sound. said that
he would rather care for one acre of
grapes than five acres of apples. He
pointed out that the expansion of the
grape juice industry has put the crop
on a commercial basis, always fur
nishing an outlet for any possible
surplus crop, and urged all the grow
ers to cooperate in every way.
He advocated the use of a common
label to advertise the special variety
of grape raised in the belt, and urged
the construction of new roads
throughout the county. He said the
new King-Kitsap ferry service would
be q great benefit to the industry In
facilitating the handling of the crop.

were: Vice president. E. c. Suiter:
secretary. Capt. Fred Armstrong:
directors, j. F. Rauschert, ]. Win.

Quite nubmer of new grape vine
yards are being planted throughout
the district from Hunters Point to

HOW TO STOP BEING NERVOUS
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to Strengthen Weak Nerves and Increase Strength and
 Vidor

According to noted French Scient- ist, the most effective remedy for ner- vousness,' insomnia and ailments due to depleted nerve force, is form of organic phosphate known among drug gists in this country as Bitro-Phos- phate.
 It is described as a substance which is similar in composition to the phos- phorus naturally found in brain and nerve cells and, being easily and quickly assimilated, the work of creat- ing nerve force, strength and vigor be- gins immediately it is taken into the human system.
 There are many reports of astonish- ing results from it's use, some showing remarkable improvement even in stub born cases of long standing nerve weakness. As there are many kinds of phosphates, care should be exercised to procure the genuine Bitro-Phos- phate as sold by J. NJ. Ball in Bisbee and all good druggists. Adv.

Girls Seek Police
 AsDance ChaperOns

Excellent results have attended the inauguration of the campaign by Judgc A. c. Lockwood and Sheriff James Mcdonald to keep girls under IS years of age out of public dance halls. This was the report made yesterday by depu- ties and constables in both Bisbee and Lowell. A few instances of violations of the new rules have been noted, but prompt warning has always brought the promise that there will be no repetition.
 The dance hall proprietors have joined with the deputies in exclud- ing young girls unless they are accompanied by an older person. Several calls have been received by the officers asking that they at as chaperons for girls below IS who want to attend the dances and have no older person to ac- company them. This has proven impracticable and has resulted in some disappointments.
 The dances at the city parks in Warren and Bisbee also will be carefully watched to see that no young rils attend unless properly chaperoned.

I SESSION
 BY SUPERVISORS

The board of supervisors, Chair man I. c. E. Adams and Member c. M. Roberts present yesterday were in session at Tombstone for the purpose of hearing taxpayers on the adoption of the county budget for the year 1919-1920 The entire morning was spent in going over the budget for each department, Secretary J. M. Gaines of the Cochise County Taxpay- CTS association being the only one present to go over the budget with the board. Only. few minor changes were made in the final adoption of the budget as published Next Mon- day the board will meet to fix the tax rate of the county, passing the rate of the budget as adopted on the taxable wealth of the county.
 Yesterday the board also took up the matter of starting work on the Benson-Pima county highway, with State Engineer Maddock, the super visors announcing themselves ready to stand their half of the expenses out of the 75 per cent state road fund, provided that federal aid could be se- cured for the other half, as promised by the state engineer after a confer ence with the board here last month
 It is announced that the work will be done possibly on contract, to be stated just as soon as the necessary preliminary plans are disposed of, which will probably be within the next month of six weeks.

by one concern at Los Angeles. When completed, it will give employment to more than 300 men.
 As an example of the magnitude of the operations planned, Mir. Tovrea stated that the plant would utilize the 100000 gallons of cottonseed oil pro duced annually in the Salt River val ley. This will be combined with 100000 gallons of animal fats from the packing plant, producing 100000 gallons of lard year, or 15,000,00 pounds.
 A campaign of education is now be- ing conducted to stimulate the grow ing of hogs, which the plant will han dle extensively. It Is hoped to relieve the present pork shortage as soon as the big plant gets fully into wing.
 The plant will handle cattle from the entire southwest and it's products will cover an immense territory in the west. This is one of the largest inde- pendent packing projects ever launch ed in this country.
 AS to the high cost of living, MT. Tovrea said the general opirion in Chicago was that no drop In prices could be expected soon. Business con ditions as a rule in the east are good he said, but strikes are furnishing a grave industrdial problem.
 Mrs. TOvrea was with her husband during part of his trip to the east.

 YOU WANT U.S.
 FOOD SUPPLIES

R. J. Wilbert, chairman of the food committee of the Central Labor Un- ion, took several hundred dollars worth of additional orders yesterday for vegetables and bacon, two car loads of which have been ordered from the army surplus stores by May or Jacob Erickson. MT. Wilbert re- quests that in order to prevent a scramble when the supplies are re- ceived and to bring about an orderly distribution, those who intend to pur- chase shall place their orders as soon as possible. Those who order and pay in advance will have their goods set aside for them as soon as the cars arrive.
 Mayor Erickson expects to know tomorrow or next day just when the food stores will arrive. The vegetables will be shipped from Fl Paso, but the army post there is out of bacon and the carload of this commodity must come from San Francisco or San An tonic. MT. Wilbert explained yester- day that there is considerable differ ence between the parcel post prices as announced from Washington and the prices for stores sold to munich palities. The scale of prices for the stores to be sold here as fixed by the zone supply officer in Fl Paso fol lows:
 Bason, 12-pound cans, 38 cents a pound, including freight, or $4.56 a can.

Woman MOtOrist Saves Life But DOuses Crowd

While the usual Sunday after noon crowd was enjoying the shade in front of the Phelps Dodge store in Lowell day before yester- day an apparently intoxicated man weaved a devious course diagonal ly across the street toward the Lowell bank. At the same time a woman driving a Dort car came around the corner. This juXta- position was bound to result in trouble, but not the kind the crowd expected.
 The bibulous man tackled a course almost directly in front of the woman's machine, but by a sudden twist of the wheel she saved his life. She did not, how ever, save the big iron water hydrant at the corner of the store. The car leaped up the curb and directly into the hydrant, which snapped off close to the pavement as if made of clay.
 The crowd of about fifty re- ceived the resulting deluge, this apparently being the only damage done. The woman drove away on her own power; the water was shut off and yesterday the hydrant was back in place.

BECHDOLDT n
 PUBLISH STORY
 OF TOMBSTONE

Fred Bechdoldt, special writer for the Saturday Evening Post, who has been spending a week in Tombstone obtaining data and historical events for a special story to appear in the Post at a near date, returned to his home at Carmel, California yesterday morning, where he will write the story to appear shortly.
 Before leaving, Mr. Bechdoldt ex- pressed his appreciation to the Tomb stone Commercial club and the old pioneers who were so willing and as sisted him in his quest for the data on which the story will be founded
 He stated that from his plans now formed, the story will appear in the form of two chapters. each to be a separate story in itself appearing in two separate issues of the magazine, the first half of the narrative to deal with the early discovery of Tombstone by Schieffelin, and the coming of the pioneer; the second will embrace the influx of the lawless element. and the Apache uprising against the whites. ending with their being subdued by the law and order crowd.
 From the outline given, MT. Bech- dOldt will no doubt present the his tory of Tombstone in a manner which it has never before appeared, and will result in nationwide advertising for the old camp that will be price less. Yesterday the author, on his trip to the old Mormon settlement of St. David to obtain local color for a story on the Mormon pioneers, cap- tured a large gila monster which he is having stuffed to place among his collections.
 Mir. Bechdoldt announced that he will probably return to Tombstone in October or November, following the appearance of his present story, to obtain color for a fiction story in which he will incorporate a number of local characters, dealing on early day history.
