 q hope to see the day." said En- gireer ohnston last night, when we shall have a properly built paved road between Jerome, Ciarkdalc and Verde, but it is impossible to under take this work at the present moment or until the county has authorized the ssue of road bonds that is now pending.
 "In the meantime we are deter mined that the road shall be put ir the best shape that is possible with out complete rebuilding and paving and we have determined to resurface it completely.

 The coun V engineer has beCon-e with Supervisor Mi1glcy's tor better roads in theI Verde district and says tha:. before the summer is over the highways in this section will compare favorahly | with the very best in the county.
 He states that there is a wonder fu1 revival of sentiment in favor oi better roads all through the south west and adds that this sentiment is backed by the real, tangible money savings that have followed wherever the roads have been scientifically "I believe" he said, that money spent on roads is returned immediately in the increased value of farm lands and is repaid hun 1rcd fold by the greater facilities for business and social intercourse that arc afforded by proper highways"

JAPANESE LABOR TROUBLE

TOXIC, July l2.-Labor troubles arc taking place in Japan. At gold mine in Shizuoka prefecture, 100 miners went on strike recently and, armed with pickaxes and shovels, raided the residences of the mine of fcials and destroyed or damaged tho buildings and furniture. The local police force suppressed the rioters. The cause of the trouble is dissatis- faction over wages.
 Over 1000 women and girls em- ployed in a big silk factory at Oyeda have gone on strike for higher wages. Similar occurrences are re ported from various parts of the em- pire. One cause of the unrest is the soaring of rice, which is now higher than last summer, when the country was involved in serious rice disturb ances.

IS CLUE ID ELOP|NG
 COUPLE
CFrom Saturdays DaiIy.)

JEROME, July 11.-Securing a clue from an intercepted letter mail ed in Jerome, Pete Novich arrived in the city last night in search of an errant wife and her alleged lover, Nick Haygia, alias Nick Eiden. The "other man. in this version of the eternal triangle IS now said to be using the name of the injured hus- band.
 According to the story related to Judge w. H. Hughes this morning by Novich, who has enlisted the as sistance of the authorities in his sarch, Maygia broke up his home in Waltonburg, Colorado, about two months ago. With the departure of his wife and her lover, all trace oi the fleeing pair vanished.
 Quite recently a letter was re- ceived in. the Colorado town by a former employer of Maygia, request ing that $60, due him as wages, be forwarded to Pete Novich, general delivery, Jerome The. husband learned of the letter and immediately came here in search of the man fho had alienated his wife's affections.
 It is no motive of revenge that ac- tuated the search instituted by No vich. He assured the judge he had no desire to wipe out the stain upon his honor with the blood of the se- ducer of his wife. His sole desire is to secure the evidence which will make possible a divorce and to re- strain Maygia from using his name.
 Theirs was a happy home, asserts Novich, until Maygi appeared upon the scene. Gaining access to the home under the guise of friendship, the latter became eneamored of the chatelaine of the household, paid ar dent court and persuaded her to sever the matrimonial ties of nine years duration. They took with them all of the valuables accumu- lated by Novich and his wife during their welded life.
 Novich now fears that an effort is to be made by the two to gain pos session of property to which he holds title in Servia In the event of his death he is apprehensive that the false wife will lay claim to tne lands which he owns, and aided by her lover posing as the husband, secure the estate which he plans to will to| relatives ...
 Photographs and description off the missing wife were placed in the hands of the county officers. Mrs. Novich is described as dark and stout. ne is g years of age, five feet five inches in height, weighs 225 pounds and is a decided brunette

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR .

To the Editor of the Journal-NIiner

To the Editor ot the Journal Miner
 In your issue of July 1, you pub lished an article headed, Fishing Resort Fatally Wiped Out"
 Tn justice to all parties concerned, we ask for space in reply to this ar ticle. In it, apparently you hold the Prescott Farms company responsible for the water being permitted to run out of Lake Watson. This is errou- eous. The water, and its manage ment and control in Lake Watson belongs to the Chino Mutual Water Users association, which is compos- ed of the farmers who nave moved upon the lands near Jerome Juno ton.
 We desire to state that this asso- ciation had no intention of killing single fish in the lake, by running the water low, and will say that had the water been fresh, instead of con- taining so much oil, the fish would not have died. We state, however. that if we had known the water was as low as 1t was, we would have stopped it off sooner, but owing to its being situate a such a distance from our place of business near Je- rome Junction, we were not in close touch with the elevation of the water in the reservoir.
 So far as the financial side of the proposition is concerned, and the statement in your article that the dealers in fishing tackle in Prescott would suffer a serious loss, and the interest which you have shown ill the poor fishermen of Prescott, we desire to state that we farmers have all our interests tied up in that water, which must be used for the propa- gation of our crops, without waich the same would die and our families suffer.
 We wish it distinctly understood that we are law abiding citizens and have no desire to starve the poor of Prescott. We moved into your county with our families and all weI possessed. We put our money ini your banks, buy all our supplies from. your merchantsA have built school houses, churches. roads and other improvements in your county, and our every aim and ambition has bcenI and is for the upbuilding of this county, and we wish to continue to 20 forward with this end in view.

HOLLAND BEATS BEL GUM IN
 TREATY ROW
By Associated Press.

! By Associated Press.
 PARIS, July 1O-Holland has
 scored in the first heat of the diplo- matic tourney with her neighbor,
 Belgium, over the clauses of the
 treaties of 1889, which have aroused a good deal of feeling on both sides of the Belgo-Dutch border.
 It was these 80 years old treaties that gave Holland the Limburg pen lnsula, the narrw elongated strip of land popularly known as the Dutch
 appendix, by crossing which, the Germans in their retreat last fall saved themselves a detour of some 40 miles and possible capture by the allied armies.
 The Belgians dug up ancient rec ords showing that several towns and villages situated in Dutch Limburg had, in the thirties of last century, petitioned the first king of the Bel gians to be joined to his new king dom. Although tine Dutch Limbur- gers of the present day are, said to have ro such desires, an influential section of Belgian politicians clam ored for the annexation of Limburg to Belgium.
 Also, to safeguard the future posi- tion of Antwerp, the Belgian annex ationlsts claimed the territory known as Dutch Flanders, situated on the southern bank of the Scheldt estuary, which the treaties named mad also given Holland.
 These territorial claims aroused d storm of patriotic indignation in Hol- land. Queen Wilhelmina visited the disputed parts of her dominions. and there was good deal of flag waving and shouting about dying in the last ditch" before giving up national ter ritory. The situation was becoming unpleasant Cool headed elements in Holland realized that an estrange- ment from the Belgian sister nation would be fraught with disastrous consequences. When a conference was called by the five great powers to reconsider the treaties of 1889. a delegation of eminent Dutch jurists came to Paris with the firm resolve to avoid anything in the nature of a breach with Belgium.
 On the cession of territory. how ever, their instructions were dehn- ite, and the Dutch standpoint has been upheld by the five great pow esr. 5iri
 It was agreed to institute com mission of seven powers, including Belgium and Holland. This commits sion is to examine the proposed re- vision of the treaties of 1S39 and submit proposals duplicating nei- ther a transfer of soveregnty nor the creation of international servitudes' The commission will invite Belgium and Holland to submit joint formulas in the matter of waterways, the gen eral principles of the peace confer ence to be applied as bases for the same.
 The bellicose feeling on both sides now has almost died down.

VERDE-FLAGSTAFF
 ENDURANCE CONTEST

JEROME, July 12.-Plans are being made for all endurance motor run from Jerome to Flagstaff. and return in which all dealers of the district will be invited to enter cars and from which no car owner will be barred.
 Tne event is not to be race in any sense of the term, and speed will not be the object sought.
 The dea is to make a careful de- termination of the endurance of the cars and of the gasoline, oil and water consumption. To this end an official observer will ride in each car and will keep an accurate account of the oil gas and water used, of any failure of machinery which necessi- tates a stoppage for repairs, and if all the other incidents of the trip.
 Naturally, tire trouble will not be counted against the car, but all other delays will be scored.
 The Verde Copper News has been asked to supervise the test and to furnish the observers, one of the ed itors of the paper to ride with one of the drivers and exercise d general supervision of the entire event. The rules and other details are in charge of Harry Hunter, who is an old race driver of long experience and who understands every detail of the game. It is hoped that every dealer in the district will enter his cars and that many private owners will also take part in the competition, the date of which will be announced as soon as the cutires are secured.

KAISER HAD HIS NEST LINED
 WITH GOLD
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 AMERONGEN, July 1O-The for mer German emperor has been dis cussing his financial problems for more than week with Dr. J. Kriege, who has been in charge of the imper- ial estates and funds in Germany since the Hohenzollern abdication.
 Dr. Kriege, one of the former Ger man functionaries of the German for eign office, has been here in confer ence with Herr Hohenzollern when the latter was not engaged in wood saving. The marshal of the German emperor's court, Von Gontard, also participated in the discussions.
 The former emperor is not short of money, as he possessed a consider able amount on deposit in Holland before war began. This was added to appreciably while hostilities were in progress. During the few stirring weeks preceding his abdication, Will liam and his followers transferred further large sums in ready cash.
 But William is troubled as to the fate of his real esttae. He possessed no fewer than $ castles, hunting boxes and country seats scattered over the empire The revenues of these properties are for the present at least in the hands of the new gov ernment, which hitherto has paid from their proceeds all Herr Hohen zollern's bills, forwarded to Berlin for settlement These accounts have been quite formidable, as the imper- ial refugee is called upon to pay for everything he consumes, as well asI for his accommodation and the up- keep Of his suite, besides paying the wages of the gardeners and domes- tics Of the Bentinck estate who ren- der him services while wood-cutting or in the household.
 The expenses of the Dutch guard of gendarmes on duty around the castle also fall on the Hohenzollern purse.
 The German governments inten- tions concerning the former em- peror's private fortune cannot bel gleaned here. Germans recently from the fatherland declare there is great deal of purely personal sym pathy for William among all classes and that it is likely he will receive a large portion of the value of what he owned. They say it is probable most of the castles and country houses will be sold and the cash re- suit paid to Williams account, but a number of them may be retained as government property to be used for the purposes of local government headquarters. This they consider an equitable arrangement which will not deprive the ex-monarch of his rights as a private citizen as, they believe, would be the case if his property were conhscated.
