Bisbee daily review., 1919-06-01

Striking contrast between the old and new highway is presented the traveller passing down from the Mesa to Curtis flats, along the San Pe- dro some ten miles this side of Ben- son. On the left is the new road; on the right the old. Ahead of you on the new smooth, even stretch which any automobile can take in high gear. Above you on the left is a rough, narrow trail over which machines in the past used to labor. It was stiff second gears pull up that old hill. and the man driving down the new road silently thanks the fates for the pleasure of the drive back, with sey- eral hills of this variety eliminated. Driving such speedway as this is a pleasure.
 Green Fields Replace Mesas
 Before you at the foot of this, the Curtis hill, is Curtis flats--a new and unexpected and wonderful pleasure. The mesas with their beauty have suddenly disappeared The noun tains are in the distance. And before you is unfolding acre after acre of green alfalfa, of grains, of towering cottonwood trees in summer foliage, and about artesian fed lakes, sway ing dropping. weeping willows grown so close together and so thick ly a whole grove takes on the ap- pearance Of d single. gigantic, spread. ing tree. -'

Further down the road and almost in the morning shadow of the granite shaft is the county sand pit. Here sand of the purest and best type is taken out in car loads and shipped to the new highway between Bisbee and Douglas. It is being used in the concrete which is making the finest stretch of paved highway in the south west between the mining town and the town where the ores are smelted.
 Highways are built scientifically today. Even the dirt with which the roads are surfaced, is tested thor oughly. All along the highways can be found shallow pits where surfac- ing material has been rejected, and deeper pits from which surfacing ma terial has been taken.

Drainage has been the great prob lem which has been worked out on the highway from Tombstone to Ben son. Here is a stretch of road which in the past has been a constant source of trouble, of repair. of ex- pense and high costs. Today these troubles are being eliminated, and with tue completion in sixty dayssof the new link, the county will boast a highway as fast and free of main tainance difficulties and expenses as that road from Bisbee out over the divide. where $1OO year has been a maximum of maintainance mileage costs

Past Drainage Lessons
 The lessons which the railroad engineer had learned, have made possible this feat Application of knowledge of rainfall and engineering skill have surmounted the drainage difficulties. Every foot Of ground above the road which must be drain ed has been measured by the engi- neers. With rainfall records of the past six years, the engineers nave then ascertained just how much water will be carried at a maximum in any one gulch, canyon or arroya. Then they have constructed bridges of their own design especially to carry away the heavy waterfall, and culverts where the flow is lighter.
 Not in one place, but in many, where the new road carries \ 12-foot bridge, the old road was undermined with 12-inch culvert. And in places where a big bridge was thrown into the old road, a small culvert has been found sufficient to carry away tho water. It was simply a matter of measuring the drainage area-a. fac tor which in the past had been more or less neglected. -~

New Loading Record Made.

AS the homeward rush did not start
until December 6. the new orgsniza-
ton which Col. Daniel Van Voorhis,
the embarkation officer effected, has
been averaging practically 100000
men a month. 1t is expected to dou-
BILE the number this month. Col. Van
Voorhis, a former cavalry officer. was
in charge at Newport News when the
men were shipped to this side, and he
is now sending them home at an even
faster rate. Every individual who
passes through the port 10 card in

are recorded down to the number of his
bunk on the ship, his company. the
organization to which he belongs and
the place to which he is going in the
United States. The walls of Col Van
Voorhis' office are covered with big
charts instead of pictures. and look

The next board indexes the tran

map of France and Germany with
markers indicating the location of
each remaining division. Then comes
a diagram of the harbor Of Bfest with
cardboard silhouettes Of the ships,
each marked with the name and
pinned on the harbor, according to
the anchorage. Those due to arrive
hang above and under the numbers

which they are due. Beside those
sailing toward the west hang squares
labeled New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and Newport News, according
to the destination.
Finally there is a big blackboard
which shows the expected arrivals
of the men in the camp and the ex-
pected sailings. A daily balance sheet
is figured two weeks in advance
Other curved charts record every
division that has passed through the
camp homeward bound. Daily curves
indicate the fluctuations Of the base
populations. The fastest movement
was that of the nth Division. which
arrived and departed within six and
one-half days. The first men of the
89th Division arriving at Brest were
on the water in less than thirty-stx
hours.

Equality in Partnership.

Senator Kenyon paid tribute to Sam
uel Gompers for his work during the
war and his fight against trouble
making propaganda among labor or
CARNATIONS. He declared that labor
and capital must stand on an equality
of partnership; that the United States
is behind most OF the world in caring
for the interests of those who really
produce the wealth; that woman wage
earners are entitled to the same nav
as men for the same service, and that
they must not perform tasks that I'M
dermine their health.
He said that IL the Supreme Court
held unconstitutional the present child
labor law some other method would
be devised for stopping gentlemen
from grinding up little children into
dfvidends-if not under the Constitu-
ton, then by amending the Constitu-
ton.
Senator Kenyon declared in favor of
prohibiting all immigration for two
years, and during that time there

Workers Not Bolshevists.

Mr.. Heating said:
The American workingman is not a
bolshevist. He is too straight a
thinker for that. He knows that in
a republic wrongs may be righted
more effectually and more endurinely
with the ballot than with the rifle. He
is as much opposed to the Dictatorship
of the proletariat as to the TYRANNY Of
the plutocrats.
He Ia the conservative of conserva-
tives among the worlds toilers. He
demands no special privilege and in
sists on only the most elemental
rights.
Demanding improved conditions for
women. Miss Van Kleech said:
I'm spite of their record during the
war. millions of women in the Ifnitad
States receive less than a living wage
and thousands of families are heIow
the poverty line for no reason excent
that their bread winners happen TO
be women earning women's wages
Millions of women are working TOO
long hours for health and eAcien.-
and many women are working undSr
conditions which are unwho,esome
and unsafe"

When Private Leroy Lenig of Plain

mark in American history. Lenig did
not know what he was doing any
more than a man winning q prize in
a lottery knows that he is going to be
the lucky number. However. Lenig's
number was 100000, which means
that half a million Americans had
registered as passing through the
port of Brest on their way home since
the flood of men started back toward
the west. The embarkation officers
knew that the half-million mark was
going to be passed. but 1t was late In
the evening before Lieut.. Dennis E..

officer, was able to put his finger on
the exact man who made the record.
