ENLISTED MEN HAVE
 A SCHOOL AT WHIPPLE.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Pretty nearly any course a man might want in beginning studies will te available for the men at Whipple Barracks, now that a new school has been established under the joint di- rection of Chaplain Zeigler and Sec retary E. D. Raley of the Y. M. C. A. The first meeting of the stu dents will be held this. evening at 5:3O.
 Elementary English, arithmetic, algebra and geometry, typewriting, telegraphy, gas engine repair, Span. ish, history, civics-these are some of the subjects already on the pro gram, and it is announced that any other studies for which there is sui ficient demand, will be taught
 The staff of this unique school will be made up chiefly of men in service at the post, but instructors at the Prescott high school will also be available for special courses. Each instructor at the high school is a sort of ex=officio member of the board of education for this little school.
 Thirty-five enlisted men had en- rolled yesterday, prior to the first public announcement of the estab- hshment of the school. It is expect, ed that many more will avail them selves of the opportunities to fiji themselves by both education and vocational training, for better service after they return to civil life.
 Classes will be limited to three days a week under the present sched- ule, and will last from 5:30 to 7 p. m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. None but enlisted men will be ad- mitted to the school

CITY EMPLOYS TWO
 RETURNED SOLDIERS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 If everybody was doing as much for returned soldiers and sailors I'as the City of Prescott, there prob ably wouldn't be so much unemploy- ment. Two ex-service men were given jobs by the city administration yesterday. They were Major Harry T. Southworth, officially appointed public health officer and Captain HhrtweH H. Linney, city attorney.
 Captain Linney, who had only re- turned from service, received his dis charge at Camp Travis, Texas. For about five months, he had been com manding a battery, and sometimes a battalion, of heavy artillery in the 18th Division, known as the Cactus Division, which was formed at Travis, but disbanded before it got a chance to get across. Linney, how ever, was luckier than the Cactus Di~ vision. He got across.
 .One-time speaker of the house, and known aEovcr the state as one of its most promising young attor. neys, Linney left his practice here ill August, 1917 to enter the training camp at Leon Springs, Texas. He graduated from that warm and busy camp with first lieutenancy ill the field artillery, and was assigned. Af- ter some time with his outfit in this country, he was sent across to attend the school of fire, and made so much progress that he was rewarded" by the war department with a commits sion to- go on down to Travis and teach some more rockies how to shoot with the big cannon. His pro motion to a captaincy, however, did not relieve his injured feelings at be- ing relegated to the safe side of the water, even though the assignment promised at the time to be but tenn porary He got no wound stripe for that hurt, but went to Texas and i'll dulged ill lot of hard work during the formative days of the new 18th Division, which was self-designated to arrive on the firing line just in time to beat the Dutch finally and for all time. Early ill January, the Rehabilitation reached combat divi. sions, and Linney's outfit was desig- mated for early discharge. This meant a lot more extremely unlovcly, un- welcome work, without any glamor, no war crosses, nor any great re- ward, except the sense of having done the job.
 During Linney's absence, his busi. ness has been conducted by Mrs. Linney, who is an attorney, all same Captain Linney.

 Sedan, France, January 19.
 You will be glad to hear that 1 am over the la grippe as the French term the flu, but another misfortune overlook me by being kicked by e government mule, so back to the cot in the hospital I went. If the cycle of hard luck keeps up I don't know what the third misfortune will be. Probably it will be my long service at this supply base Am now in the depot commisary,, and some job. That is what fellow gets fo, being too quick in singing a pen and writing a good plain hand. This is the most wonderful city in France, that is what IS left of it. The Boche carried off everything in sight, and the demolishing was sim ply cruel, not to say barbarous. The fine nature of the French peoplL shows no outward feeling of revenge as they are filled with weeping and sorrow over the losses. I tell you it got 10 my soul when we Yanks came in here, to see many old men and women come tottering up to the col umns and throwing themselves prone on the ground murmuring a prayer brought all of us to tears. It was a solemn sight. and I never want to behold sucn d demonstration again. Old and young are bringing us sim pie little home made things for use, and it is beautiful to see such sent ment so earnestly expressed, when these poor people are in need of ev, erything. But when we take, we give back many fold more. * Saw Judge Frank Smith. some days ago, with other Y. NJ. C.

Utah wants it because it would pro- vide rich grazing ground for herds of cattle. The Salt Lake City legis- lators have offered to buy or to trade but SO far without result
 The latest move on Utah's part has been to send special delegation to the Arizona legislature sitting at Phoenix, but Arizona sentiment is against parting with the territory and plans are being made to bridge the tremendous cnasm which cuts it off from the remainder of the state almost as effectually as though it were an island of the sea.
 For years settlers from Utah have been drifting across the state line and settling in this isolated portion of Coconino county. The majority of these pioneers are Mormons and at Fredonia a compact Mormon cen ter has been built up.
 In the natural course of events 1t occasionally becomes necessary for the supervisors and county school superintendent to visit this village To get from Flagstaff, the county seat, to this settlement, the officials find it more convenient to travel through three other states to reach their destination. This is known as the eastward route and carries them through portions of California, Ne vada, and Utah.
 A direct cross-country trip would involve the negotiating of rough desert roads and the fording of the Colorado river at historic Lees Ferry, with its dangers of quicksand.
 Arizona may not be able to make much use of what she owns north of the Grand Canyon, but nevertheless she IS jealous of her property rights there, and through the medium of Governor Campbell a protest, has been lodged in the legislature here against Utah herds grazing on this Arizona territory without paying any taxes for the privilege.

 The plans of the Jerome Verde have not been definitely decided upon but it is understood that there will be no immediate resumption there, at least not on the scale of operations that prevailed prior to the strike. The pumps are to be oper- ated until the first of April, at least, in order that there shall be no eX- pensive unwatering job if the direct ore decide on a resumption.
 For some time the Jerome Verde has been shipping ore from the Maintop body to the Humboldt shelter, but the price of copper has dropped so low that this hardly pays any more Therefore, the directors notified Superintendent J.
