DOUGLAS-BISBEE ROAD

BISBEE-Under the supervision of J. c. Ryan, engineer for the coun- ty road commission, the work of laying cement on the Douglas-Bis- bee highway began this morning, just west of the Douglas depot. The work will continue at the rate of pos sibly 500 feet day until the stretch between Douglas and Forest station, ten miles i'll length, is paved.
 The contract for paving this stretch was let to Oswald Brothers of Los Angeles, and they have been doing preliminary work for some time. The road has been graded and 'surfacing done for a distance of three and half miles, and rock and sand to be used in laying the cement piled along the road as far as the C. & A. bridge. With the start they now have these workers will be able to keep well ahead of the cementlayers and have the entire stretch ready to be paved as the latter come along.
 The paved section will be eithteen feet wide in the center of the road with a five-inch concrete base.
 Work on the road from Bisbee to the Forest ranch, a distance of five miles, has also been in progress for some time, though actual paving has not begun. Smith and Eating, a California firm, have the contract for that stretch.
 No definite provision has been made for paving the ten-mile stretch left between the Forest ranch and Forest station, though it is probable this will be done with funds that will be available later from the federal government

WRATHY WOMAN GOT EVEN AND
 ALSO IN JAIL

The business copartnership between Mildred Clark and John Tisdale, of Phoenix, does not seem to have been mutually agreeable so far as a 50-50 settlement is to be considered, and the bustup occurred when both were rounded Up by federal authorities and are now serving sentences in the Yavapai county jail, arriving yester- day ill custody of U. s. Marshal Dill Ion. Their speciality seems to have been opium, for the selling of which they both were convicted.
 The woman squealed on the man after the latter had failed to divide the funds received from the dope dealings, and when Tisdale appreciat- ed that he was up against it he turn ed the tables on Mildred, and when she was grilled in a cross-examina- ton her complicity in the opium deal was so convincing that she practi- cally admitted her guilt as we'll as establishing herself as doing business illicitly with Tisdale.
 The latter is to serve six months and pay fine of $2OO, while the wo- man will sleep it off for sixty days in jail.
 The bunch of federal offenders brought to Prescott yesterday from Phoenix numbered 21, crimes ranging from booze selling to violation of the Mann act, the maximum sen tence being six months down to six ty days.

TO EXPLORE SONORA

DOUGLAS-Probably no party of prospectors who have entered So- nora in the past year of more has been outfitted on as extensive a scale as the party of Douglas men who will leave here in a few days. The party consists of George Gray, Jim Taylor, Courtency Mott and Jeff Lo- mas and they expect to be gone one year, during which time they intend to explore parts of Sonora never be- fore touched by the foot of the white man.
 The iprospectors will enter Sonora at Agua Prieta, on horseback, and with train of pack mules carrying a complete outfit. MT. Mott is now in Sonora buying the pack mules, as it IS better to have animals acclimat- ed to that climate, "tenderfoot" ami mals from this side of the line being unable to stand up to the hard trav- el. The prospectors will give par ticular attention to the Yaqui river country, which is already fairly well known to most of them, and will go as far south as the Sinaloa line.
 All of the quartette are old So- nora prospectors, and among the four of them there will be a few parts of the state that will be unfamiliar ex- cept the mountain rccesses they in- tend to explore in the Yaqui river country.

AIMS AT THREE ROOTS
 OF OUR LIFE

TUCSON, April 29,-With the aid of organizations. like the Industrial Workers of the World, bolshevism is seeking the destruction of loyalty to and faith in the three divine in stitutions, the family, the nation and the church. This was the statement made today at the 27th annual meet ing of the Arizona Anglican conven- ton by Bishop J. w. Atwood of Ari- zona.
 ITO the more conservative spirit of socialism" said Bishop Atwood, "and to such organizations as the American Federation of Labor, which certainly has fought the exploitation of labor by capital, this new spirit of anarchy and hate is in fierce op- position. It is founded upon a class distinction as unjust and cruel and tyrannical as prevailed under the rule of the worst of the czars.
 "The great leader of labor in this country, Samuel Gompers, has declar- cd his abhorrence of it, while only the other day the head of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor in a great eastern city declared that bolshev- ism had no love for man, for country or for God"
 of We are to stamp out this alien spirit in our land" continued the bishop" we must see to it that the evils of past industrial system shall be no longer tolerated, and especially must opportunity be found for all our soldiers returning from war to earn decent livlihood, and for all other men and women willing to work, while we exclude the nordes of men who would seek our shores as aliens and haters of the republic. "
 After asserting his belief that the formation of a league of nations would go arm-in-arm with the treaty Of peace, Bishop Atwood continued:
 "The church as we'll as the nation must awaken to the new leadership, must realize that it can no longer fight for dead issues; that it must drive out worldliness. selfishness, bigotry and bitterness from its midst Or else it will see written in letters of blood upon its own walls the fatal words traced long ago on the palace walls of faithless king ill Babylon, "Mene. meme tekel upharsin"- "-Thou art weighed in the balance and found

OH BOY

JEROME-Ignoring the golden caresses of Dame Fortune until that impatient feminine diety directed his attention to her with a staggering blow, T. C, O'Shaughnessy, an en- ploy of the United Verde Mining company Is wandering about the town in daze this morning He is placed in the peculiar position of be- ing in the possession of more money than he knows what to do with-just at present; says the Verde Copper News.
 The financial romance began six months ago when in spirit of reck- lessness, the local man invested a spare $100 in 100 shares of promo ton stock of the Duke Oil company. For some time he sought avidly for news Of the progress being made at the property, but with little success. At length, ne charged the transac- ton up on the debit side of the led ger, buried the artistically engraved certificates in the bolton of his trunk and proceeded to forget about the whole thing.
 He retained one memory-a sad one. During the highest pitch of the present oil excitement MT. O Shaughnessy maintained a cool and skeptical attitude In his own words, he mad been there" Agents for the various companies which endeav- ored to interest him in the merits of their respective properties met with cold rebuffs.
 , Last evening as the genial Mrs O. Shaughnessy was enjoying an after dinner stroll, he was handed a tele- gram. The message was brief. It said, "Wi1l give you one thousand dollars a share for your stock in Duke Oil Wire reply" and was sign ed by a prominent Texas broker. Then another terrible though struck him. What had become of the stock?
 A madd dash to his room Business of throwing a more or less extensive wardrobe, knick-nacks and papers about the interior. A huge gasp of relief followed by hystcrical laugh 1 ter. The stock was rcposing just where it had been placed in one cor ner of his trunk.
 Mir. O'Shaugnnessy is a nephew of the Honorable Nelson O'Shaughhessy i former envoy plenipotentiary from the United States to Mexico. He has been resident of the city for years, and is a painter by occupation.

DRAFT EvADERS SNEAK BACK
 ARRESTED

Two alleged draft evaders, Louis Lopez and Elias Valencia, were land ed in the county jail on Monday as federal prisoners by Deputy U. s. Marshall Harry Carlson, of Jerome, after a flight of nearly two years. They left Jerome in June, of 1917, a few days before registration was or dered, and they returned last Satur- day. They protested being arrested, stating that they were called into So- nora by relatives, and were unable to get out of that country, also say ing they were only to anxious to serve in the army. It has been al legged, however, that both in crossing the boundary line purchased their ad- mission into Sonora, under false re- presentations, the penalty of which crime also is severe. One of these young Mexicans will be taken to San Francisco for trial.
 Deputy Carlson while here also stated another exceptional case in military draft annals of an entirely opposite character, wherein a Mexi- can figured, was that of one of this race falsifying his age of g years to 2 years, so that he could enlist and be of service to his adopted country. He was arrested, but prosecution was deferred when his loyalty was proven as the motive for his zealous actions. He is still anxious to get into the army, and it is possible will enlist to go overseas with the command of 50,- GOO volunteers now being raised.
