an extensive of trucks not only for short hauls
but for comparatively long ones.
Public attention was first called to the possl-
bities of the trucks when long procession of them
started long journey under their own power
from western factories Atlantic port for ship
ment overseas. They were so transported because
the railways that time too congested to
handle them 1t was then seen how the truck might
be made to transport load well as itself over
considerable distances
Under normal conditions of railway traffic there
is limit the radius of the activity Of the truck.
Up to 100 miles good roads or fairly good
roads, students of transportation believe that The
truck may be profitably employed; that within that
radius, only is the cost of transportation lower
but that the eliminates great loss of time the
frequent handling of loads and much breakage of
breakable commodities.
When one sends a shipment by freight train, say
a distance of so or 100 miles he understands the de-
lay to which it may be subjected 1t may be set out
or there and at junction points may be held for
days. 1t is loaded at the station of the point of
origin unloaded at lis destination and thence hauled
by wagon truck to the consignee. When trans
ported by truck it is loaded only at the point of
origin and is unloaded the premises of the con-
signee
We are speaking only of shipments by truck as
against shipments by rail- 1t is unnecessary to speak
of the general usefulness of the truck for the trans
portaton of products of the farm factory to the
nearest market. That is universally recognized
that farmers. merchants and factory owners now
wonder how they got along without trucks.
When shipment by truck becomes general.
and ~ is Incoming more general dav by day an i'm
petus will be given throughout the country to good
road building to make for the trucks. Thus the
truck will force good roads and the country will be
doubly benefited by its adoption means of trans
portation.

Shipment BY Truck

II remained for the war to demonstrate the
fulness of the truck 1t the truck that saved
verdun when its loss seemed inevitable and the
military authorities OF France counselled it's sur
render It was the truck that arrested the German
horde below Chateau Thierry and it the truck
that alone made possible the last great allied drive
The war the western front was in one respect
a contest between the truck and the railway and
the truck won. The Germans relied upon the railway
for the movement OF troops and supplies. AS they
advanced they constructed behind them along their
whole front such elaborate system of railways as
had never before been contemplated in military
operations The allies did military railway
building but not such scale the Germans.
Either circumstances foresight led them to
dependence upon trucks and in the end the trucks
won and the world brought to understanding
If their superiority railways for comparatively
short hauls On this side, too. there enforced

SCOTTSDALE MAN
WINS FIRST PRIZE
FOR LINT COTTON

Maricopa county carried off the
honors in the cotton exhibit at the
state fair, capturing the blue ribbon
for the sweepstakes, the best plant,
the best seed and the best lint.
John NJ. Walthall of Phoenix, was
awarded the sweepstakes prize for the
best all-around exhibit of Arizona
Egyptian cotton. Walthall was also
given the blue ribbon for the best
cotton plant exhibited at the fair.
The first award for the best lint
cotton on exhibition went to NJ 4.
Driggens of Scottsdale This cotton
was ginned by. the Mccall Cotton COM
pany and presented for the public gaze
in neat, compact bale of miniature
size.
Mrs. H. w. Lathlean of Phoenix, was
given the first prize for the best COZ
ton seed. This exhibit impressed the
visitors at the fair with the fact that
cotton growing is not confined to the
masculine farmer.
The judges of cotton found special
interest in the lint cotton exhibited by
Juan James, Pima Indian of SAGA
ton, who is said to be one of the first
growers OF Pima cotton in this state.
James was induced to exhibit his cot
ton by several fair officials who went
to his farm. James told them TO help
themselves to any one of several sacks
he had just brought in from the field
Although the Indian took no special
interest in either the selection or gin
ming of hts cotton, his lint was
awarded second place. The judges
were of the opinion that if James had
taken more care in preparing his ex-
hibit it would have easily captured the
blue ribbon. Although James has on
! ~ ten acres of cotton land under Gull
| tivation, he has realized more thar
$4,000 a year from it.

An elimination convention will be-
held by the democratic party some
time in March, it became known yes

council meetings of the party Thurs

their quest for harmony, seek to elm

Hardy of Santa Cruz, during a speech
at the morning meeting Thursday.
made reference to several candidates
who ran and were defeated or pulled
out of the race before at the last
gubernatorial election. He said he
cautioned against a REPETITION of this
next fall.
1t is explained that while this elimin-
alton convention will not be manda-
tory upon any aspirant to the posi-
ton of governor, or other offices, those
attending will seek to select the strong
est of the various aspirants as they
appear.
Gubernatorial material is already
piling up, along with other material
for state offices. Among those who
are said to be aspirants for governor
at present are c. NJ. Roberts of Co
chise, Hugh Campbell of Coconino,
Tony Johns of Yavapai, Jesse l..
Boyce, state auditor; Wiley E. Jones,
attorney general; Milford Winsor OF
Yuma, and several judges.
Conversation heard on the street
yesterday would indicate that any eff
forts at the elimination convention to
eliminate certain of the aspirants will
lead to bitter opposition. The state
central committee however, accord
ing to statements by well known
democrats, will labor for harmony to
the end that satisfactory selection
will be made without causing i'll feel

1t is hoped by the leaders that the
convention will result in pledges from
all candidates to support the nominee
at the general election.

ELECTRIC PROPERTY
ORDERED PURCHASED

Order was issued by the state cor
poration commission yesterday author
izing the purchase by the Yuma Ice
Electric and Manufacturing company
from Sanguinetti and Ewing of its
electric property, paying therefor with
capital stock at par, or $150,000.
The hearing was on an application
of Sanguinetti and Ewing Commits
sion Jones presided. H. NJ Femme
more appeared for the applicants and
G. P. Billiard for the protestants.
The plan, as explained in the APP
plication, merely contemplates an
abandonment of the co-partnership
owning the electric plant and vesting
the ownership of the plant in the new
corporation. 1t is stated that this will
be of distinct advantage to its own
ers in reducing the cost of operating
two concerns and the reduction of this
cost will be reflected in the correspond
ing reduced operating expenses of the
