Jeff Clark Tells How
They Do 1t in Arizona

Lowell, Ariz Nov Is, 1919.
Siftings News.
Idaho Springs, Colo.
Dear Editor:
THE weather is very warm days
but cool at night. This seems to
be quite lively place with sever
al thousand men working in and
around the mines.
Phelps Dodge Company are
just starting the erection of 400
ton concentrator for the treatment
of part of their ore mined here.
The smelling grade of ore is ship
ped to their smelter at Douglas,
Ariz.. which is abont thirty miles
from here. They are working six
steam shovels taking the waste off
from mountain of ore. The
waste is loaded in railroad cars
holding about twenty-five cubic
yards and is hauled about one and
one-half miles to the dump. There
are about fifteen small locomotives
going all the time to keep the
dirt away from the shovels. Each
train has three cars and [ think
they load a train in about ten
minutes.
Yours respectfully,
+ r CLARK -

EVANGELIST MARTIN SPEAKS TONIGHT ON
 PASSPORT TO HEAVEN
Song Service Will Precedc Lecture at Seventh Day Adventist
 Church Tonight

"Our Passport To Heaven" will be the subject of Evangelist Irwin M. Martin at the Seventh Day Adventist charch, 727 Nineteenth street, north, tonight. There will be an illustrated song service preyi ous to the lecture. At the morrins ser vice yesterday the Evangelist spoke on the subject: Angels In part ke said;
 Angels are net the djsembodied spirits of men and wonien who once lived or earth. The Bible shows that they e1- isted before man sinned. Ever since the fail of man angels have had an impor- tant part to play in helping to work out the redemption of the human race. Con- missioned of God they have brought messages of warning and comfort to those in need. From Heb. 1:14 we learn that they are administering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation.
 "Every Christian has guardian ansei to protect him from the power of Satan, The angel of the Lord encampeth round them that fear Him and delivereth them. This unceasing guardianship of holy angels is needed as there are evil as well as good angels. In the conflict Wlta the forces of evil God has given us means of protection which is efficient against the unsleeping malice of Satan and his inps We should be tbanhlui and live so as to merit their companion- ship"

and he was outspoken in his praise of it all. saying that it was almost in conceivable that such s tupendous de- velopment should have been establish ed in the course of only a years time" The senator denominated the govern ment's plants here as the most marvel ous exposition of industrial works to be witnessed anywhere in the United States. and he declared that these plants must function during peace times in producing nitrates for fertili- gers, just as they were built to func- tion during war in producing nitrates for munitions. He summarized the sit uation further by pledging his faith and belief that the future of the plants is absolutely assured, inasmuch as he had not an iota of doubt but that the Muscle Shoals dam would be com pleted His was a stirring message to deliver to the people here al this time
 The great nitrate plants were ordered built here by President Wilson, who had the backing of the American peo- pie in waging the war on Germany. The President also ordered the Muscle Shoals dam constructed. The Presi- dent early committed himself to the Muscle Shoals development, and Sena- tor Underwood holds that congressional action cannot but fail to halt or delay the building of the dam, since the po- tential power to be derived from the Tennessee river when the dam is com pleted will insure the usefulness of the nitrate plants during the peace era The American farmer must have vastly increased stores of fertilizers if crop production is to be increased, and because this will be made possible by the completion of the Muscle Shoals dam and the operation of the nitrate plants, the power of the American farmer is behind President Wilson and will be the factor to be reckoned with by Congress, that is, if any attempt is made by the latter to arrest and stop the work of completing the Mus cle Shoals industries.

New Road Law

The Carter road law went into effect July 1st. This act glves the overseers $500 per day for their services. All men be- tween 12 and 45 must be work ed four days each year. In case they do not work when warned they must pay $2.OO per day instead of $1. % as heretofore.
 The drastic part of the act, provides that all overseers must file with the County Judge a complete list of all hands sub. ject to road duty and the county judge must not allow the over- seer's last quarters pay until it is shown him that the over- seer has worked every man 4 days or collected and turned into the road fund S2 for each day not put in on the road. This will help provide more money for road work.

Road Commissioned
 Assumes Office

Under an act of the legislature, Judge Barham became road com. missioner on July 1st.
 Just what he can do under the new law is not clearly set forth. The act does not change the law providing road districts and dis. trict overseers. and gives the road commissioner only advisory powers. He can not force sn overseer to work a road in his district. 1. It provides for no authority nor funds oby which the commissioner can have any work done independent of the district overseers.
 In Johnson county the county judge has complete control of the roads and bridges. There are no districts. The county
 
 judge has a truck and . bunch of road hands. He loads on the hands and tools and goes to any part of the county and repairs or bnilds roads. This county has no general road fund. but district funds. like our school funds.
 The county judge. acting as road commissioner. is going to do everything in his power to im- prove the roads. He intends to go over the roads this summer and will advise the overseers and try to create a greater interest in good roads. If he carries out his intentions. and the provisions of the law. his salary will hard lv pay his travelling expenses,
 We need a new law completely changing the present system.
