MOTOR TOURISTS
 SWARMING THE S. F.
(From ss;urday's Daily.l


 / County School Superintendent Miller returned to the city Thursday from an official visit to districts in the north, and his report of motor travel to the west was surprising on account of the number of cars on the road. An average of fully 125 ma chimes is passing through Seligman daily and the congestion of people in restaurants and lodging houses has never before been equaled, not even during the summer months
 Those engaged in the above lines of business are thriving, and what prevails at Seligman is transpiring at every town along the Santa Fe. MT. Miller made the trip in his car, and stated that after leaving Seligman for Ash Fork he was never out of sight of q motor party westward bound, the southern part of California being their destination. It was generally commented upon that many of these tourists could be diverted from Will Hams to Clarkdale if highway were built, and thence to Prescott via the Jerome cutoff now nearing comple- tion.
 Anxious inquiries were made about the Jerome mines, also the pictur- esque location of Prescott, from which can be inferred what horde of tourists would visit these commit mites if good roads were available,
 The Seligman school, NIT. Miller stated, was now at the peak, the number of pupils attending being the largest ever known.
 Business ill the town is excellent, every building is occupied and res ervations must be made days ahead to get a room in a lodging house.

 In connection with flour prices it is noted in the report that Sam Drey- CT sells to the public at the same price as does the Bashford- -Burmister company, but seems to be a better buyer of four, this explaining the higher per cent of margin. Also, the Model Cash Grocery sells the 24 and 4S-pound sack at Sc less than do the two above mentioned although he is credited with a higher per cent of profit than the big company.

WINE MAKER IS FINED AND LET
 GO FREE

i Jim Dighera, the son of sunny Italy, who was held to answer to ,he charge of making intoxicating
 liquor, specifically wine, contrary to the peace of Arizona in general and Yavapai county in particular, ap- peared before the Superior court yes terday, unrepresented by council.
 Judge Sweeney patiently pierced the difficult English of the defendant and finding that Dighera was not en- tirely devoid of resources, yet unable to determine whether or not he pos sessed sufficient means to secure an adequate defense. appointed Attor- ney Westervelt to represent, him, leaving it to the attorney 10 ascertain whether the prisoner could afford to finance his own defense.
 Attorney Westeryelt was allowed, by the courtesy of the, county attor- ney, to confer in private with the de fendant. In a few minutes the pris- oner decided to plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court.
 Again the judge patiently and per sonally examined Dighera to deter mine the attitude of the prisoner to- ward the law and as 10 his previous good citizenship. The prisoner as serted he had been a producer, work ing in the mines about Jerome until feeling some seeck" he wanted lit tie wine. In response to a question by Judge Sweeney, the answer was that a doctor in California had pre- scribed wine for what ailed a man when sick, but the judge observed that California was quite way iron his jurisdiction.
 But Dighera grew eloquent that hl would make no more, and while no' denying that he knew he was break ing the law when he made this al tempt to turn California grapes int wine for the stomach's sake, he i'll formed his honor that previously he had not "savied" jails, and he woulf make no more booze or break anl laws, after this.
 In view of the recommendation the county attorney, who stated tha the prisoner, according to the sher ifs office, had always been a goo, citizen, giving no trouble of any kind and had been a regular worker i legitimate lines of employment, tn court assessed Dighera d $200 fine and hung years sentence over hin to take effect if the parole to keef within the law was violated
 Judge Sweeney evidenced his deter imitation to conduct an English speaking institution as far as he Ina any power in court matters. H stated he was getting a great plent of having prisoners claim that the, did not understand, nor knew the, were breaking the law because the. did not understand the language o this country. He was loath 10 shov clemency in this case until informe, of the opinion of the officers, wh, had a complete knowledge of th mans previous character. The fac that Dighera had cared enough abou his adopted land to complete his cit izenship here, evidently had som weight in deciding the court towart leniency. No speaka English" vii not incline the judicial ear to pit! in Yavapai county, if the attitud shown on this occasion is a preced ent to be followed, and the class II Americanization held in Prescott; should receive many more pupils iron the mo sabe" population.
