 juster Will Travel by Air From Phoenix to Mining Communities, They State

 The plane is for the purpose of reach ing the scene of accidents for the pur- pose of adjustments, at the earliest possible moment after the accident.
 With a speed of 110 miles an hour, jumping over to almost any mining town would be a matter of minutes, as compared with the many hours re- quired to arrive by train or automobile.
 Buys s. w. Cotton Co. Plane
 The plane will be of the English scout type, on the Waterman model a model perfected and tried out just at the time the armistace was signed and never used in actual warfare, but re- garded as a distinct advance over earlier models. The motor will be of 1 the Curtiss o. x. type.
 It is Barr's intention to keep the machine at the fair grounds, and he is considering the establishment of 9 ! flying school in order to utilize the craft when it is not needed for emer- gency flying.
 Yesterday he bought the Southwest Cotton company plane, which was re- gently partly wrecked at Florence while the pilot in making landing and in order to keep from hitting { wandering COW, struck mesquite tret and partly demolished the wings. Ht is having, it shipped to Venice to bt rebuilt.

"The Better Wife" at Columbia.

An interesting and absorbing photo drama, ''The Better Wife" starring Clara Kimball Young, will be offered at the Columbia theater for the last times today
 The Better Wife" is the story of an American girl who goes to England and there becomes acquainted with Sir Richard Beverly and his family. Char milan Page, the American girl, immedi- ately falls in love with the baronet's little boy and when his mother is killed in an automobile accident, Char milan tries to nurse him back to health.
 Gradually Sir Richard grows to love the American girl, but he refrains from mentioning it because of the sacred memory of his first wife. Following events tend to prove that the first Lady Beverly was not worthy of his love, and that the American girl, once he has made her the second Lady Rev. erly, is actually the better wife.

WILL GUARD AGAINST
 DEER KILLING BEFORE
 SEASON DULY OPENS

The state game warden, Joe V. Prochaska, does not propose to allow anyone to kill deer, even a few hours before the season opens, if the sta tioning of numerous deputies in the roads leading toward Phoenix can pre- vent it.
 Prochaska stated yesterday that he fears that some nimrods, anxious to be the first to arrive with a deer and thereby annex the prizes offered by sporting goods houses, might get en- thusiastic and kill a few hours too soon. Hence the precautions.
 The wardens will examine all deer being brought to the city, and being experts, will be able to accurately judge whether they have been killed within few or a number of hours
 Things will be made extremely un- pleasant, says Prochaska, for anyone found with a deer in his possession that bears evidence of having been killed before midnight of September 30.

Returning from a three weeks trip over the east and south, s. E. Jordan. of the Jordan, Grace and Phelps Land company, reports that progress is be- ing made rapidly on the plans for the new million dollar hotel this firm is to build. He was in consultation with the architects in Chicago while in the east.
 Jordan visited New Orleans, Bir- mingham, his old home; Memphis and Chicago in the course of his business trip.
 Returning, he ran into the effects of the recent torrential rains and hurri- cane winds in southern Texas, and was delayed three days getting home.
 Sixty miles of railroad on the main line was out of commission, MT. Jor- dan reports, with bridges, culverts and part of the grades washed out.
 All trains were detoured by way of Fort Worth, causing considerable de- lay. The Oldest inhabitant' told him that such downpours of rain had never been seen in the history of that sec- tion
 The cotton crop Of the southern most part of the region is very badly damaged by the storms and rains" said MT. Jordan yesterday, and the crop will be much curtailed. Brokers are now offering to contract for next years crop of short staple at 25 cents, which to my mind means high priced cotton next year as well as this.
 Authorities on Sea Island cotton whom I consulted told me that the crop is in a bad way, and will not exceed 10000 bales, which means all the greater demand for Pima cotton, and better prices"
 Outside of the storm damage, the boil weevil cut into the long staple cot ton, and a general unrest in the iron and steel section, the south, he said, seems more prosperous than ever.
