STATE GIVES CONSENT
 TO TROOP MOVEMENT

PiOENlX, May 26.-Permission for armed Mexican troops to pass through Arizona. New Mexico and Texas from the state of Sonora. Mexico 10 Juarez. was sought today by the Mexican au- thorities through Acting Secretary Of State Polk at Washington and granted by Arizona. according to an announce ment tonight by K. E.. McGillen. acting governor of Arizona.
 The state department telegraphed the acting governor that the Mexican authorities sought permission to trans port 1000 Mexican soldiers across l. $. soil 10 Jusrez and asked if Arizona would asQuiesce. The permit was telegraphed. according to the acting governor. with the understanding that the troops will be moved across Am erican soil under the supervision of the United States immigration ins pec,- or at Fl Paso.
 Adyices received from ihe border late tonight were 10 the effect that two trains of Mexican troops from Sinaloa and Sonora with the permis sion of the United States authorities would be rushed across American Ter ritory to take the neld against yilla's organizations in Chihuahua
 Troops Moved in 1915
 This will be the second time MeNi- can federal troops have been granted transport on American soil In the latter part of 1915 when General Fran cisco Villa moved his army from Chi huahua City across ihe desert 10 the attack of igua Prieta the Ameri- can government granted permission for Mexican troops 10 pass through American territory 10 the relief Of the beleagured city. The result Of the arrival of the endorsements broke down Villas offensive and on the morning of the third day of the al tack his forces crumbled as they flank ed the city from the east and the west and he withdrew his army in defeat. A few months later. in March. 1916. Columbus. x. M. was footed and burn ed by Villistas and a number of Am ericans lost their lives.
 The transfer of Mexican troops to Juarez substantiates the expression from Washington few days ago which stated that Chihuahua City was about to fall.

Tucson Great Center

Tucson, now the terminus of the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad. will become great railroad center when the new line to the gulf is constructed. It will have the effect of reducing greatly incoming as we'll as outgoing freight rates.

TUCSON TO GULF LOOMS AS SURVEYING PARTIES
 TAKE TO THE FIELD

TUCSON. May 26-Surveying par ties are in the field running a line from Ajo to the Gulf of California. ac cording to authentic reports reaching Tucson.
 The plan is said to extend the Tue son. Cornelia and Gila Bend railroad not only from Ajo to a port on the gulf. but to build the line from Tue son to Ajo as originally projected con meeting with the Fl Paso and South western system here and giving all the great mines of southern Arizona water route to the eastern seaboard.
 This action comes closely on the eve of the announcement of a large in crease in freight rates on copper mat ter from Arizona 10 the east.
 il will be little less than 200 miles from Tucson to Port Lobos on the Gulf of California by way of Ajo.
 When the Tucson. Cornelia nd Gila Bend railroad was built from Gila 10 Ajo. Capt. John C. Greenway, gen eral manager of New Cornelia. stated that the line from Gila was only tenn pOrary and that the main line would eventually be built from Tucson to Ajo. a distance of 146 miles by the company survey The name Of the road indicates the intention to build from Tucson.
 E. p. & S. W. Interested
 IL is generally understood that the Fl Paso and Southwestern furnished the rails. ties and rolling stock for the Tucson. Cornelia and Gila Bend railroad and is therefore interested in the line
 Walter Douglas. general manager Of Phelps-Dodge and Company. has re- gently been in the southwest. IL is known that he has always been look ing toward an outlet on the gulf. The Phelps-Dodge interests hare also in corporated the Tucson. Phoenix and Tidewater railroad and may decide 10 connect up with the Aio and the Gulf road by this route which would catch the great mines at Ray and Superior and connect up with James & Doug las proposed north and south road at Mesa, giving the Jerome mines an out let to the sea.
 It has long been the dream Of the great copper producers of the state to get an outlet to the sea on the Gulf of California Conditions in Mexico and the world war stood in the way. bu. with the prospect of the Mexican sit uaion and peace in sight, the first step toward line to the gulf is being taken

Prayer
By Louis Untermeyer

By Louis Untermeyer
God, though this life is but wrath,
Although we know not what we use,
Although we grope with little faith,
Give me the heart to fight-and lose.
Ever insurgent let me be,
Make me more daring than devout;
From sleek contentment keep me free,
And fill me with a buoyant doubt.
Open my eyes to visions grit
With beauty, and with wonder lit
But let me always see the dirt,
And all that spawn and die in it.
Open my ears to music; let
Me thrill with Springs first flutes
and drums
But never let me dare forget
The bitter ballads of the slums.
From compromise and things half
done,
Keep me, with stern and stubborn
And when, at last, the fight is won
God, keep me still unsatisfied.

Community Ise. Spreading

L ne STIIneS.
The Community Church idea
spreads. A few weeks ago, some of
the leading representatives of the
various denominations, including,
among other notables, Bishop John
son of the Episcopal Church and
Bishop Mcconnell of the Methodist
Church, met in Denver, and according
to the press reports, put themselves
on record in favor of the community
grouping of small churches. The
thing is bound to come. The waste
of reduplication in upkeep is seen to
be unnecessary in a day when doc
trinal differences are fast dying. One
of the notable items in the Gunnison
Church is the unusual way in which
the finances have kept up in year
when services could be held only
three months out of eight. If there
had been two churches and two sepa-
rate expense budgets in this difficult
year, how would they have Jared?
Listen to Walt Mason, the ripping
rhymster of Emporia:
I'm Pumpkinville the fourteen
churches have no support that's
strong and stout, and all the time the
village searches its clothes for coins
to help them out. The pastors go
upon their uppers; they're hungry
looking men and lean, as they ar
range for chicken suppers to pay for
coal and kerosene. They can't put
much into a sermon, not much of elo-
quence or vim, with each so poor he
can't determine just when the poor
farm will get him. The churchyards
all are rank and weedy, for none will
paw to NOV the grass; the churches
all look frayed and seedy-they're
needing paint and window glass. In
Pumpkinville one church might -four
ish and be prosperous concern, and
there'd be wealth it's work to nour-
ish while yet the lamp holds out to
burn. But Pumpkinville has
fourteen churches, and each is poorer
than the rest, and evermore the vii

Boys Working Rsserve

Every boy in this country between
the ages of 16 and 20 who wish to
get in touch with good summer job,
where he will be treated right and
learn something of future value to
him, can do so by enrolling during
week of May 5 with Mr.. Allen p.
Berkstresser of Gunnison, director
of the Boys Working Reserve for
this county. Those who are not so
located that they can personally see
the director can write to him, giving
their age, work they desire to do and
such other information as will aid
him in determining their qualifica-
tions. Or apply to the principal of
your high school.
The Boys, Working Reserve is a
great summer educational and employ
ment movement inaugurated by the
government and, in Colorado, aided
and supported by the state. Boys
are not only secured work during the
vacation, but are also supplied with
certain educational literature such as
the farm craft lessons issued by the
government.
The Boys, Working Reserve takes
special pains to place boys in con-
genial work, where the surroundings
and environments are of the best.
After boy is secured a place the or
ganization continues to watch him
and see his treatment is all that is
promised and that he is making good
with his employer. Not only are the
boys thus benefited through earn
ing money during the summer, but
they gain an education of great val
ne no matter what may be their fu-
ture occupation.
One thing does not seem to be very
well understood and that is, boy
working 1T homo on the farm, if he
is enrolled in the Boys Working Re-
serve, secures credit just the same as
if he were employed by someone else.
