DOUGLAS ELECTRICIAN
 IS BURNED BY JUICE

DOUGLAS, Aug. 21.-George H.. Clav, an electrician for the Douglas Traction & Light Co.,, had narrow escape from instant death in Pirtle- vile, when he was thrown across a live wire carrying 220 volts of cleo tricitv. As it was, he received serious burns, and will probably lose his left hand, though it is believed he will survive. The accident happened when Clay was changing wire on new pole recently installed on the Pirtle- vile line. He was about 25 feet from the ground, clinging to the pole by his spurs" as the sharp iron pieces are called, when one of the spurs slipped, throwing Clay on top ot the live wire. Fortunately his body re mained in contact with the wire only few seconds before falling to the ground, else he. would have been burned to a crisp. As it was he was frightfully burned across the left side and his left hand, which will probably have to be amputated.

LONDON APPRECIATES
 PERSHING'S VETERANS (From Saturdays Daily.)

LONDON, July 20-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press )-The provisional regiment of American soldiers who followed General Persh- ing in the Peace Day procession was the tirst sample of American fighting troops to march in London. Other organizations seen here had been on their way to the battlehelds, while these men were returning
 Here were the Americans in steel helmets, marching in companies eight abreast with bayonets fixed" said the Daily Express. They were as jovial as any when the procession halted for a. time, but while they marched their faces were as seroms and as immobile as the gravest of graven images. They made a profound i'm pressiOn on the onlookers Their marching was Roman in its iron sternness and precision"
 "A magnificent regiment it was, !" said the Daily Telegraph, "young men all of them and the quintessence of the alert and 1.-the. Khaki clad in brown steel helmets they looked most workmanlike.
 How magnihcently they marched, swinging past in perfect alignment, with a long, easy stride, heads held high and shoulders squared" said the Daily News They are greeted vociferously with as good cheering as l ever remember having heard in London"
 There was a grim, indomitable look about Pershing's men" said the Daily Sketch, "an effect greatly height ened by their shell helmets, and it made all the more wonderful the burst of clear color which followed as their massed banners came by. Old Glories, along with the rest, held American fashion so that the fabric flew freely and no shred of color was lost The cheering of the crowd turned at the sight to a great An of delight Except for the passing of the massed colOrs of the Guards with their laureled staffs, it was the most picturesque moment of the process sion. Good old Yanks,' thus are the Americans affectionately if somewhat familiarly greeted" said the Morning Post ill its story of the procession.

SIMMS EXPLAINS
 MOTOR CAR LAWS
(From Saturdays Daily.


 Difficulty and delay attends the ad- ministration of the new motor ve- hicle law, according to word received 1 by the Journal-Miner from Secretary of State Nit Simms yesterday. The owners of automobiles are failing to get" the meaning of the statute pro- viding that no licenses nor number plates will be issued by the state un- til it has been certified by the county assessor that the vehicle in question has been rated by him or that the personal property tax of the owner 1 has been paid.
 Mir. Simms discusses the recent amendment as follows;
 Chapter O. (sub Senate bill l54). This amendment provides that before the secretary of state can issue li- cense and deliver number plates to any person, firm or corporation in the state of Arizona, they must have certificate from their county as sessor, stating that the personal prop erty tax on their motir vehicle has been paid for the current year, or is secured by real estate in their coun- ty.
 Chapter l56 Senate bill l7D. This amendment provides that persons driving automobiles or auto trucks on any state highway must use the full arm signal to indicate whether they are turning to the right or left. On enclosed motor cars, an auto matic signal must be used when it is not possible to use the arm.
 Chapter l72 (House Bill No. l48). This amendment divides the license year into quarterly periods, so that a person applying for license between anuary l and March 3l must pay the full annual license, and those apply ing for a license later in the year must pay for the uneXpired quarters of the year.
 These three amendments were passed for the better operation and enforcement of the motor vehicle law of the state. The one requiring the personal property tax to be paid before a license can be issued by the secretary of state, is an innovation and is not generally understood by the persons applying for licenses; as a consequence much delay is caused in issuing licenses on account of the length of time it takes to get the cer- tihcate from the assessor.
 Each assessor has the certificates in his office, and much time would be saved if persons who want motor ve-I hicle licenses would provide them

CATTLEMEN WISH U. S.
 CONTROL OF GRASSLAND
(From Saturdays Daily)

Fifteen years ago the forest serv- ice of the United States department of agriculture tackled the big job of administering the national forest area. This area contained much oi the first grazing land in the country. Naturally its administration brought up many questions which melted the discussion and often times criticism of the stockmen The newness and the vastness of the enterprise natur- ally at the beginning resulted in many mistakes while the big forestry grazing poliices were being evolved.
 Stockmen of l3 western grazing states met in conference in Salt Lake City recently and a resolution was passed, almost unanimously, asking congress to provide for administra- ton by the United States department of agriculture of all pubic grazing lands of the country after somewhat the same fashion as the forest service is now administering grazing land within the national forests.
 During the southern Arizona tour of the livestock squad of the agri- cultural extension service of the uni versity, cattlemen were interviewed all along the line to obtain their view point on this question: Only one of some scores of large or moderately large cattle outfits, where the owners or managers were interviewed ex- pressed opposition to federal control of the public grazing lands. This isl a splendid vindication of the forest service grazing policy.

 HERO MARCUS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-The heroism of the late Lieutenant Arm old Marcus, of the United States navy, in navigating to safety the explosion-torn submarine Az at Manila in July, 1917, while he, him self, was suffering from fatal burns, was commemorated here in the launching of the United States de- stroyer Marcus. The crafts spon- sor was Mrs Arnold Marcus of San Francisco, widow of the young off, cer.
 Earned and otherwise badly in- jured by an explosion of gasoline va DOT in the hold of the Az, Lieuten- ant Marcus refused aid for himself until he had insured the safety of the crew and beached the submarine. In a letter to Mrs Marcus, who is the only daughter of Paul Cowles of Chicago, superintendent of the cen- tral division of the Associated Press, Secretary of the Navy Daniels re- gently wrote:
 The conduct of your husband was that of a most gallant officer, who. though fatally injured, without re- gard to self, devoted every action and thought to the care of his vessel and men"
 Lieutenant Marcus was graduate of the Annapolis naval academy with the class of 1913. He had served in American waters and was attached to the Asiatic fleet when he met his death He was the son of Lady Young wife of Lieutenant Colonel Sir Popham Young an official of the government of India. Lady Young attended the launching of the de- Stroyer Marcus.

ANOTHER COPPER IS SHIPPING
 ID HAYDEN
(From Saturdays Daily)

Completion of the new wagon road from the works of the Franco-Amer- ican Copper company, situated about six miles east of Humboldt, was an nounced yesterday by Superintendent Geo. B. McGarvey, and under orders of Col Fred Bowler, the president shipping starts today, Dewey being the loading point, and the Hayden smelter will be the market, a long contract having ben closed with R. H. Hetherington of this city.
 The product tor the present will be freighted out by teams, but later, if the property is not sold, a gang oi trucks is to be placed on the road, negotiations now going on for these utilities.
 Mir. McGarvey was decidedly en- thusiastic over the advent of this copper into the shipping class, saying From the l25-foot level a crosscut has determined a remarkable new body of ore, three feet of which av- erages l9 per cent in copper, $5 in gold and $5 in silver. This is the operating plan decided upon: To raise from that level a grade of ore that will easily return $l00 to the ton, and to continue driving that crosscut to tap a condition indicated by dykes as carrying attractive val ues, in fact it is my belief of still higher grade of ore. Sinking from the 30O-foot level is to be continued, with crosscutting also. The new zone on the l25 was discovered last week in an effort to reach the hang ing wallh when our developing plans were changed for the time being. This discovery was due to the recommen- dation made about two weeks ago of w. H. Burt, mining engineel who visited the property, and after his inspection exploration started substantiating his theory that geo logical conditions indicate a parallel ore body from the structural condi- uOnS prevailing on the surface.
 The old dump IS not to be dis turbed for the present that contains approximately 750 tons of a 25 per cent content, but will be marketed la ter if negotiations are dropped, as | understand this asset is to remain un- der the agreement closed in the deal that is pending. The new road out of Dewey to the camp is open, automo piles can easily make the trip, and il will be a pleasure for me to have any from this city come to examine coming copper"
 Col Bowler leaves today for the mine, and he stated yesterday that the force is to be increased immedi ately, since shipping begins, and to defray expenses only as development progresses is his plan for the present

THE ARMY WORM ATTACKS THE
 FARMER

Judge George A. Ainsworth, famed as the cabbage king of Yav- apai, will have a limited supply this year of the delectable kraut, as the army worm has entered his sector or Walnut creek and refuses to capitu- late. This industrious farmer was an ticipating a trip to England, his na- tive country, in anticipation of mar keting his crops at high price, but has abandoned the idea, saying;
 It looked good for while, as the rain soaked the soil to the grass roots and up came the cabbage, beans, corn, potatoes and other truck in such abundance as to make Us farmers smile. It was a fine year ahead of us, but now our hopes are vanished into gloom The army worm has wrecked my cabbage crop and l will lose fully 1000 by its ravages. It came along just 20 years ago and put me out of the kraut business, the sea son being parallel to the present one in rainfall. The wagon roads out of my country are also gone, and traffic into Seligman and other sections north is closed. Hog raising is our only resource, and we will pull! through by the pork route The cat tleman has been saved at the expense of the farmer being crushed by too much rain, so after all it is a case of hoss and hoss as to who wins out by the caprices of an Arizona climate" '"

 The dealers assert that, according to reports, dozens of families in the district are making a beverage that contains as high as six and seven per cent of alcohol. They assert that certain companies are making busi- ness of supplying the people with a concentrated brew of malt and hops which when fermented makes very good quality of home made beer.
 They express the opinion that the manufacture of this beer is as much a violation of the prohibition law as the selling or handling of regular beer would be, or just as much as the moonshine stills.

WAR SAVERS TO COMBAT
 HIGH PRICE EVIL (From Satur days DailyJ

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Six million members of government war savings societies throughout the United States were asked by the treasury department today to aid federal food administrators war up- OH the high cost of living by help ing to establish and publish fair prices, to discover, check and prose cute cases Of profteering." The ap- peal was signed by William Mather Lewis, director of the savings divis- ion Of the treasury department.
 The savings division of the treas ury department" Director Lewis tel egraphed to all federal reserve dis trict savings directors, appeals to the 100000 war savings societies at present active throughout the coun- try to enlist in this campaign. They can show the people of America where, when and how to buy They can teach how and when to save. They can assure larger part oi our national effort to production of nee essities. They can aid to bring about increased employment and can prevent the lowering of the general standard of living in Amer ica, bound to ensue if prices of food clothing and other necessities con- tinue to mount or maintain their present level. In so doing, they will perform a patriotic service to them selves, their idustries, their commu- mites and the nation"
 Lewis said steps have been taken in New England already in this di- rection by war savings workers who in many cases are acting as local representatives in cities, towns and villages of the federal food admin istration. Active, not passive work, is demanded" Lewis pointed out. Not only must each individual save vigorously and invest in conserva- tive securities such as war savings stamps and savings certificates to provide capital for increased pro duction of food and other necessities but they must wage a campaign to check waste in their communities and by precept and example in buy ing help the country shake of its present spending intoxication.
 Firm hold must be kept on the savings accumulated during the war. Prices have been forced up by people who are spending, not from their earnings but from their savings. thus making money cheap"
 Robert E. Smith, director of the war loan organization in the Twelfth Federal Reserve district, with head quarters in San Francisco, com mending Lewis, appeal, said that HOO war savings societies on the Pacific coast would be asked to en- list in the campaign.
