THE oMENs

In his youth Mark Twain edited weekly journal in small western town, says the Youths Companion. A subscriber wrote to him one day to remark that he had discovered a spider concealed in the folds of a re- gently delivered paper. The writer wanted to know whether such an oc- currence was sign of good or bad luck.
 The young editor replied in the next issue as follows:
 Constant Reader: The appearance of a spider in a copy of last weeks paper was a sign of neither good nor bad luck; that intelligent insect was merely studying our columns in order to ascertain whether any store in the neighborhood had failed to advertise in our paper, in order that he might make for that establishment and there weave a web across the doorway. where he might dwell in undisturbed peace"

COOL R. R. ENGINEER
 PREVENTS DISASTER

PRESCOTT, Aug. 21.-Through the cool action and prompt manner in which Engineer k. E. Lee acted on Saturday night in bringing his engine to a standstill at the right time, the loss of life when bridge went out on Lynch creek, near the Hall ranch, was averted, as well as large amount of property saved from destruction.
 The bridge is one of the longest on the Bradshaw road, and appeared to have been undermined by cloud burst a short time before the train reached that point.
 On entering the frail structure and passing over about half way, Engineer Lee felt his engine giving way and in stantly perceiving the danger, he op- ened wide the steam valve and sent the locomotive over the danger point, when with a cool head he told his fire man to shut off the oil and both then jumped to the creek bed, the proceed ure from first to last requiring only few seconds. The train broke in two. the passenger coach remaining on the opposite side of the stream.
 A transfer was made and at about 12 o'clock Saturday night passengers arrived in this city.

BONDS ARE LEGAL SAYS
 THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

PHOENIX, Arizona, August 21.- Maintaining that the people of Mari copa county had legal right to bond the county for $4,OO0,O00 for roads, the attorney generals office today made public an opinion on the question, which was rendered at the request of Assistant County Attorney R. A. Jar rett. The question was raised, it is said, by attorneys for the interests who purchased the bonds in Chicago.
 One of the questions raised was whether the county was legally able to redeem the assumed indebtedness of road districts No. l, ? and 3, out of the $4,00O,000 received for the bonds. The attorney generals opinion denies that this could legally be done, stating that the S4,000,000 was voted for the purpose of building roads only. The indebtedness of the special road dis tricts aggregated S110,000, and it was suggested by the bond attorneys that this amount be redeemed from the money realized ty tbe sale of the bonds.
 The opinion states that the bonded indebtedness of the three special road districts was assumed by the voters of the county in addition to the pro- posed $4,000,00 road fund, and that the election made legal the raising of the bond issue over the legal 1 per cent set by law as the limit without an election

 WHY SIX VOTES FOR BRITAIN? New York Herald.
 in the American plan of a League of Nations Great Britain was to have one vote in the assembly. In the plan now before the senate Great Britain is given six votes-one for herself and one for each of her self-governing colonies. Why the six votes for Great Britain? Thus far this has not been explained by Mir Wilson or any other member of the American peace dele gation. This one quarry is in the minds of most people. Why did Mir. Wilson permit the peace commission CTS in formulating the final draft of the covenant to give Great Britain six times as many votes as the United Statesg

LARGELY BUY
 WAR DEPARTMENT FOG

 TUCSON, Aug. 21.-The lower cost of living rode triumphantly over the city yesterday with a city grocery store opened in the council room of the city hall, and a crowd cleaning up the supply assigned to the postmaster to sell Thousands of dollars worth of provisions have been bought since the first announcement of the sale of government released goods and the supply is not ended and the demand continues.
 Five hundred dollars worth of can ned goods was disposed of at the city hall by Councilman A. c. Bernard and the remainder of a carload will prob ably be disposed of before this eve ming.
 Orders at the city hall began com ing in early and continued until late in the afternoon when MT. Bernard and his assistants closed perfect day of distribution in which the individual orders ran from $5 to S100, each in- dividual evincing a desire to buy the limit of his pocketbook, to hoard against the day when the government will have closed out its storage goods. Some purchased enough canned goods to last all fall and winter. Others for the next few weeks. Many small buy CTS were disappointed to learn that the city could not venture to split cases because of the need of absorb ing the freight cost of the case itself. Those left determined to organize neighborhood clubs to split cases and take over the goods they wanted.
 The hours for purchasing at the city hall beginning this morning will be from g to 1 o'clock and from until 4 o'clock.

REPRESENTATION OF NO
 COUNTY TO BE REDUCED

PHOENIX, Aug. 21-No county will lose out in the representation in the state legislature. This was the an nouncement turned loose from the at torney generals office today, with the discovery of the fact that the reappor- tiOnment law, which was signed by Governor Hunt on December last, contains provision expressly stating that mo county shall have a smaller number of representatives than that to which it is now entitled"
 This means that Cochise, Greenlee, Graham and Yuma counties will not lose one representative each, as pre- viously stated, and the only change in the matter of reapportionment will be in Maricopa county, which hereafter will be entitled to 9 votes in the house instead of six. This will increase the membership in the house from B to SS. but will not materially affect the political complexion of the legislature as heretofore figured

BLACK FELT HAT ONLY
 CLUE IN CREME MURDER

PHOENIX, Arizona, August 21.-
 No clue more tangible than mans black felt hat was discovered in their search of the scene of the staying of Harry Creme by the city and county officers. This hat was introduced in the justice court late yesterday after noon, and each of the score of wit nesses was questioned as to whether or not he could identify the owner of the hat
 No satisfaction along this line of questioning was obtained by Justice Wheeler or the assistant county attor- neys who conducted the inquest. At the close of the hearing the Greeks were released, and the cOrOner's jury was very little wiser in regard to the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Creme, the gambler, at the door of the Athenian club on the second floor of fl Wall street early Monday morning.
 Although success has not crowned their efforts, the officers have not re- laxed their search for the guilty man. They are following each slender thread to it's end in the hope of To- eating the man and furnishing a mo- tive for the crime.
 V Creme's body will be shipped back to his relatives in Lowell, Mass, for burial.

THE NEW MENACE

Do you realize that there is a new menace abroad in the land, one which may assail us in any street. at any corner, even in the very halls of our public build ings? A menace against which the authorities seem helpless, a constant peril against which men and women are almost powerless to defend themselves. This hid den danger, innocent appearing enough. turks at unexpected spots. always ready to take it's ioIl of life and limb. Steps should be taken at once, even at the cost of martial law, to overcome this summer peril. It is more treacher- ouS than the rattle snake. for it gives no warning; it is deadlier than the banana peel, for it covers more ground. We refer, Mir. ToastmaSter, to the traitorous cantaloupe rind.

 The allies withheld the necessary supplies. especially the supplies of arms and ammunition, from the Omsk government. This has not been done deliberately. It is the result of the irresolute. aimless policy which the al. lied governments without exception have pursued toward Kolohak and his gallant effort to bring about the cleo. ton of a constituent assembly. In principle all the allied and associated powers approve the Omsk govern ment. But their approval has been confined to a God-bless-you. The guns, the tanks, the airplanes, have not been forthcoming.

ARMY DROPS PLANS
 FOR TROOPS AT YUMA

YUMA, Aug. 21.-Yuma people will be disappointed to learn that the sol diers who were to have been station ed in this city are not coming and that Yuma in the future will be the largest undefended city on the MeXi- can border. True. the Mexican condi- proven serious. but notwithstanding there are large potentialities and Mexican raid up through the Yuma valley could be arranged and carried out with but little interference from American troops. Soldiers should be stationed at Yuma, but unless the gov ernment changes it's mind, troops will not be sent to this point, at least at the present time.
 The following letter has been re- ceived by MT. and Mrs. Charles Mead ows, who recently leased, or at least thought that they had leased, their property in West Yuma to the govern ment for a soldier camp.
