DISPOSAL PLANT
FOR CITY MEETS
WITH APPROVAL
Councilmen Discuss Sanitary
Measures Advocated by
Health Commissioner

Advisability of constructing a
large sewage disposal plant in this
city, one of the sanitary measures
urged by Colonel Edward Martin,
State Commissioner of Health, has
been discussed in councilmanic cir
cles, the plan meeting with the ap-
proval OF all the commissioners.
The cost of the project, which would
probably be many thousands of
dollars, may be prohibitive at this
time, some of the officials said, in
view of the many other big i'm
provement expenditures which are
contemplated for the immediate fu-
ture.
DR.. Samuel F. Hassler, Superin-
tendent of the Department of Public
Safety, explained that the plan for
a disposal plant in Harrisburg is
not new one, and that for some
time it has been commended but

VICTORY BONDS
AT $50 ANSWER
TOFALSE STORY
Chairman Patterson Denies
Report That Smallest Sub
scription Must Be $500

Some one with nothing to do has
started a story that no subscriptions
to the Victory Loan will be taken
under $500.
THAT story is ridiculous" said
Chairman Andrew S. Patterson, of
the Harrisburg district, Victory
campaign, o-day. las a matter of
fact, it is probable that folks who
buy over $4,000 worth of Victory
Bonds may not get all they want to
buy, because the issue is limited to
$500, 100000, and the big buyers
will be disappointed. But it is safe
to assume that all under the $4,000
buyers will get what they want.
THE persons spreading the story
that no subscriptions will be taken
under $500 are, in plain words, talk
ing through their hats. Subscrip-
tons will be taken as usual-from
$50 up"
New Medals Arrive

committee, to-day received from ma

Two More Wells, On Land Ad-

The Humble E. S. Davis Mol,

thing like $500 barrels of oil
per day. This company also has
it's No. 2 Davis in and it is max
ing a good flow of oil.
These two wells are both prov
ing to be good producers and no
doubt will develop into real wells
just as soon as they are COM
pleted.
There are several other wells
drilling on this tract that will
doubtless prove to be good pro-
ducers and make this good
part of the field. 1t already has
big production on it and all
around it so it is already proven

The foregoing is from the

one Of the most important and

A colloquy between Fall and
Senator McCumber of North
Dakota, whom Fall criticised
because of McCumber defence
yesterday of the Shantung pro-
vision in the treaty, nearly led
to personal encounter between
the two.
At the outset of his remarks
Mr.. Fall declared that senators
who admitted they had not read
the treaty have been the most
impatient to get it ratified.
"Scorn rather than argument
seems to be the portion of those
opposing the treaty as it
stands" said Fall.
He scored the subcommittee
of the Judiciary Committee
which reported on the con-
stitutionality of the French
treaty, and drew from Senator
Nelson, chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee, a charge
that Fall and others are "try-
ing to chop the treaty into
mincemeat in the foreign rela-
tions committee"
"You take advantage of your
age," retorted Fall to Nelson.
'I am as strong as any man in
the Senate" said Nelson, who is
past seventy.
ooh, well, there's second child
hood" said Fall.
Nelson demanded explanation,
and Fall apologised, adding that
Nelson, who has been insistent
on early action, had himself de-
layed the treaty in committee
by introducing a resolution for
investigation and disposition of
Aland Island.

Three hundred collars was
pledged last night at a meeting
of the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce to the National
Park service for the work on the
restoration of the Tumacacori
mission, after the directors had
heard an interesting talk on the
progress made there from Frank
Pirl .ey of the National Park
Service. Three hundred dollars
had already been pledged by the
Nogales Chamber OF Commerce
With these pledges Mr.. Pinkley
lexpects to secure an appropria,
ton Of $500 from the Nationa,
Park Service toward the uncov-
ering of the ancient ruins.
At the meeting last night pic.
lures were shown of the side
affairs uncovered in the ole
ruins. There are six of these
affairs, indicating the import
ance of the mission, since none
of the California missions have
so many.
The foregoing was in the Tue.

are simply blue prints made by

LABOR DAY

A Large Attendance Assured At
The Picnic By Army & Navy
Union. Directions To Find
The Way.

Three and a half miles north
to 'The Willows" on the Tucson
highway, then west quarter
mile.
These are the travel direc-
tions issued by the Army &
Navy Union for reaching the
Service Mems Celebration in Po-
trero Canyon next Sunday and
Monday. It has been learned
that many people were under
the plession that Potfero
Canyon is a long distance from
Nogales, but Commander Price
of the A. & N. Union guarantees
that the grove can be reached in
fifteen minutes by auto, and
special arrangements have been
made with the Border Auto Ser
vice to carry out the public at
so cents per passenger.
Cowmen who had arranged to
go to Tucson for Labor Day
have been urged to delay their
departure until Monday morn
ing, in order to participate in
the events at Potrero Canyon,
and it is anticipated that a
group of ex-service men will
come down from Tucson in re-
sponse to the invitation issued
to the Tucson post of the Amer
lean Legion.
Bids for refreshments, lun-
cheon and other edibles at the
celebration are being received
by Commander Price until
Thursday evening. Amusements
such as mechanical baseball and
shooting galleries will probably
be installed also
The complaint of a few mer-
chants that the picnic is taking
business out of Nogales for two
days is answered by the ex-ser-
vice men with the counter argu-
ment that everything sold at the
picnic will be purchased in No
gales and that without question
far more money will be put in
circulation because of the picnic
than would otherwise be spent,
and everyone has been invited to
bid on the various picnic neces-
sites and novelties. The at
titude of a few has aroused the
ex-service men, who point out
that whereas the complainants
take long vacations in California
and the East; practically none
of the Army & Navy Union men
have been away from Nogales
this year to spend money.
