RECONSTRUCTION WILL FOLLOW
 RAILROAD

PARIS, May 26-What is charac-
 terized as one of the most vital steps towards the speedy reconstruction of
 war-torn Europe is being taken this
 week in the inauguration of tte
 through, transcontinental train se,v- ice between Paris, Belgrade and Bu- charest, via Pontarlier. Milan, Tries., Agram and Vinkovce. This line would under any ordinary circumstances be great boon to the traveller and to the business man, but now. on the eve of the signing of peace, it as sumes an incalculable importance to the welfare of many countries.
 The allied !capitals will now be linked up once more by rapid serv- ice which will permit of easy com munications. The slow sea route can be abandoned for the numerous gov ernmental missions which will play a great part in the reconstruction. Tn numerous other ways the new lire will facilitate the process of rebuild ing the fortunes of the allies.
 That this railway avoids Germany and undoubtedly will take away much of the trade of tine German railways, finds no adverse criticism in Paris. The French are quite content to see the railways of their late enemies lie dormant for time Whether the new allied line will ultimately become the great trade artery for the cor tinent, replacing the German lines b.- tween the North Sea ports and the East, IS a matter of much discussion. There are arguments on both sides of the question. Certainly its immediate effect is expected to be to lessen the German prospects. Whether there s any sentiment in trade, which will in fluence future developments. remains 10 be seen.
 The new service will provide through trains de luxe between Paris and Belgrade three times each we.;x. according to present plans. One train a week will go through 70 Bucharest Thus with a good train service between Paris and the Eag- hsn Channel ports, England will again be brought into close touch with her eastern allies.
 As soon as possible the line will he extended to Constantinople and 70 Athens, but the running of trains 10 .hese places now is impossible owing 10 the destruction of railways during he war. It will take several months to repair the damage. In addition, -olling stock is very scarce. Even now it is necessary to make a wide ietour to get to Bucharest from Bei- grade.
 While the transcontinertal train service will be important for relief work and for traders who wish to risit tne East to re-establish commer- 'ial relations. 1t is believed that the 'teamship traffic will not he mate -iallv affected by the innovation. Goods will still continue to pass through the Mediterranean as of old.

RANGE INCIDENT WITHOUT A
 PARALLEL

School Superintendent Miller was at Perkinsville on Saturday last, and here is his account of drama of the range. of which he was an eyewit- ness:
 The scene was the annual spring rodeo. and the subject was a cow pony sprawled out on the bridge 50 feet in height a.'d l75 feet in length.
 First Aet-Tet Rees is endeavoring singlehanded to rescue the equine, but fails. He then arises and mopping the swet from his brow, whips out his gun and fires the s. O. s. signal for help.
 Second Act-Nelson Puntenney gallops up and asks what's the mat ter: bunch of ten other cowboys are closely following. A council of war fellows and tile riatas are unwrapped from the horn of the saddle. The moaning beast has his hind legs dang ling between the ties, while his fore feet are pinned 10 the side of the rail as if anchored.
 Third Act-lhe dependencies its neck. the front feet are tied together, and all ropes spiiced as one.
 Fourth Act-A freight comes bouncing down the grade and it is Jagged The riatas are hitched to the cowcatcher, and the engine backs up. The bunch of punchers get the hind feet Of the equine in range and they gre welded by the tie ropes.
 Grand Finale-The locomotive groans and SO does the beast, as ii slides rapidly over tne ties. Ii is saved. and down goes the curtain.
 Why horse should attempt to cross a bridge to save time in reach ing the opposite point. has never been known. Rut this pony took the short cut. and afterward it was proven that it had two companions in the same game But they went over the top successfully, while the last one eeemed to have been a raw recruit by tae bungling job it made.

"Howdy. Mrs. Venus." Evening, Judge!'


 Last evening, after the sun had gone down and the rain clouds cleared away, Prescott people were able to gaze on the meeting of Judge Zeus ]. Jupiter and Mrs. Apnrodite k. Venus over above Thumb Butte. Tie meeting was notable because it only takes place once in about a dozen years, if for no other reason Anyway, the star sharps say that the present conjunction Of the two best known planets was somewhat spe- cial for the manner in which the lary, who is 336,000000 miles nearer and many thousand miles Hitler, out shone the monster planet of the solar system.
 Ii was noticeable that Mars, who n the olden days used to have a sort of common law marriage with Venus. and wno frequently got jealous of Judge Jupiter, was not around when the two passed the time of night over in the western sky.

Anybody who likes doughnuts ought to be interested in the latest activity -ef the E,kS. announced yes terday in Prescott for the first time. It is the management Of the Salva- ton Army's local campaign to raise Sl 900 toward the millions that orga- nization needs to carry on. Peace is having its struggles no less than war for the Salvation Army, and on the theory that if the dougnboys needed the ex-doughboy might appreciate other help from the doughnut dispensers are preparing to continue their activities on large scale.
 The campaign opened later in Prescott than it did in Jerome. In one day the Copper City Elks raised S. 800 toward their S1,000. and yester- day the total had passed $3,000. Pres colt will do well, it is said, to reach half the figure set by Jerome, and it is a matter of pride with the local Elks to let no Yavapai county lodge, at least, outdo them very much in this enterprise.
 All over the nation. the Elks are handling the Salvation Army's hnan- cial campaign. Phoenix, for instance, IS to raise some Sl5,000. The work vii, be carried on during the present week and later announcements will be made with respect to it.
