AN INDIAN TRICK THAT WORKED
 IN FRANCE
(From Sundays Daily)

Writing from Mogollon, New Mexico, where he arrived from over seas last week, Cyril Deneer has many interesting things to say to his aunt, Mrs. Margaret Munson, of tais city. Deneer was with the 18th Sig nal Division, and volunteered from Socoro, N. NJ. He visited Prescott during the spring of 1917, and has many friends who will be pleased to know of his safe return home. He writes as follows;
 You will remember how often your husband mentioned that early day trick of the Mescallero Apaches in hiding behind brush to attack the unsuspecting traveller, who was easi- ly shot down without having a chance. We'll, over in France they would call that camouflaging. In camp one night I mentioned this matter to the captain commanding, going into details of how the game was played. Four of us asked per mission to go out and try the game, WHICH was SdHCIlOuGu w e WSul Oul before daylight and laid on the ground behind bunch of sweet grass as they call it here. We took special care also to be on ground that was open and shot to pieces by shell fire. The elevation also was high, so that we could make clear observations
 "All We had on us were powerful field glasses, and it was thrilling to be SO close up to the Hun lines of action and hear the moan of the big shells as they went over us. Final ly we backed out and reported What we ascertaincd was flashed to the artillery in that zone and afterward each of us was commended by the division commander. This ruse was adopted again when typographical conditions would permit, and l learned that our information had been secured without any risk what ever, and was of material benefit. They called us the red devils after that stunt, and our signal company mess was well provided for after ward"

THIS ARIZONAN HAD
 TASTE OF REAL THING.
(From Sundays Daily)

There are many in this county who will learn with pleasure that Harvey Carter of Kirkland Valley, son of Mir. and Mrs. Grant Carter, has gone over the top over there. He writes to his parents as follows to show that he could dodge shrapnel and sidestep the bullet:
 "Tissey, France, Dec II, 1918. Dear Folks:
 Since the strict censorship has been lifted somewhat, perhaps from now on we can write letters that will be more interesting. As you no doubt notice l have given you the place where I am now stationed, and other things which l wanted you to know. We have just finished l2- day hike and are temporarily station ed here. It is the general belief that we are on our way home, and it may be that I will soon follow this letter. I can well afford to miss this Christmas with you, because, my dear folks, l was on my way to face the Huns when the last letter was written. Am rith the 143d, regi- vet = the Roth Division, and have been Cn the front lines many times They are wonderful men, and it Is to these fellows, and the others who have given their lives. that we should hand the honors. Before l was transferred from my old company | toured most of France in a box car. For about ten days we were sta toned at Cerons, a beautiful place where it was very warm. Although we have had no snow as yet, 1t IS foggy four days week and rains the other three. We wade in mud ankle deep most all the time and when the sun comes out it is a real treat. l haven't found an inch of dry ground like we have in Kirkland since 1 landed on this side of the water. long for some of the good old Ari- zona sunshine, or even Camp Cody sand

 Haven't had thing to trouble me with the exception of numerous 'cootie" friends, as large as humble bees, and let mo say they dig in hard and deep.

submitted to an operation for the re- moval of these alleged useless incum- brances. He did not recover from the operation, and for a week or so past mas been in a serious condition.
 Attorney Walter H. Davis, of the Anderson & Ellis firm, returned yes terday afternoon from Los Angeles, and stated that Mir. Anderson was still suffering a lot of pain and was still very weak, the attending phys icians failing to discover just what was the matter with the patient MT. Anderson hopes to be able to return to Prescott sometime within the next three or four weeks if his condition improves sufficiently to allow him to make the homeward trip in com fort and safety.

YOUNG YAVAPA|. SOLDIER TELLS
 HIS STORY
PATHOS AND HUMOR COM BINED, MAKING AN IN TERESTING RECITAL OF THE PECULIAR ANGLES OF WARFARE.
l(From Tuesday's Daily)


 William Plant, a young Yavapai soldier over there, who had been in all combats up to the time of tne ar mistice, writes his father, George Plant, at the Venezia mining camp in Crook Canyon, quite an interest ing letter, from which the following excerpts are taken:
 This is Thanksgiving Day over here. and I trust you are as happy at home as I am. We are going to eel ebrate at our camp tonight, and will have a big dinner and good show.
 will tell you little about that famous Verdun battlefield through which I nave been from first to last. In marching into that hell hole, l saw many towns which were blown to atoms by the Hun. There was left in scores of towns only a piece of a wall here and there to remind one of what once was pretty and substantially built town. There were scores of these towns leveled to the ground, and it made one sad to view the awful sight. Saw Dead Mans Hill that was simply cut deep with shell holes, and 1t was here that over 10000 Huns were made Good In juns." And on tue other hand there is the famous Hill 3O4, where scores of noble Frenchmen are at rest Here the Hun continued to shell and rip open graves of the French soldier, showing that they would not even let the enemy rest in peace in death.
 "WeH, there are many funny things happening even in warfare, and will mention one episode. Out side of the Argonne woods those Huns were we'll fixed in cozy quar- ters, and were living like kings. They had prepared fine dinner and were getting ready to eat, when we got the order to go over the top and after them. You should have seen the big stampede of the boche, who flew the coop in jiffy. We sat down and I tell you the eats were fine.
 "The famous Argonne Forest is gloomy place, 20 miles long and Is wide, every foot covered with timber and an easy place in which to get lost We had big job there to get at the Hun, but finally he skiddooed
 -"The Hun dugouts are finely con structed, and a whole company can be accommodated in a single one of them They have up-to-date cook ing stoves and some are as deep as 30 feet Our heavy artillery tore hell cut of scores of them.
 Tt was a Humorous sight to see the Yanks after the Huns when the big retreat started. We went after them in autos, but they were too d-d fast on foot and we caught only a small number. We would have got into Germany all right, but the armistic prevented Us and saved them.
 Am in a base hospital now in a convalescent camp and will soon be ready to report for duty"

SEEK NEW MEANS FOR
 TAXATION OF MOTORS

PHOENIX, Jan. 1.-The adop- ton of strong resolutions calling for improved methods of taxation ot motor vehicles, the retention for the most part of present tax schedules marked the closing session Of the conference between the state tax commission and county assessors which was held at the Adams hotel this week.
 That thousands of dollars can be saved to the state through the adop- ton of the proper legislation is the assertion of C. NJ. Zander, chairman of the tax commission. This legls- lation would prevent any owner of q motor vehicle from obtaining lie ensc number without presenting a tax receipt for the machine or cer- tificate showing that the taxes had been paid. Zander estimates that this would increase, the states rev enue by from $3,0O0 to $5,O0O. A larger gain would be made, he says, through the elimination of expense attached to tine hiring of special dep uties employed to check up automo- piles and see that the taxes have been paid. Every county is placed to an expense of from S2OO to $500 ill carrying out this work, he said.
 The legislation committee was in structed by the resolutions to use their every influence to secure the passage of d law which would re- quire the tax receipt in obtaining motor vehicle licenses. This conf mittee is composed of F. A. Hughes, C. E. Gentry, J. T. Bone, Pat Rose

ON GOOD ROADS IS
 ANNOUNCED
(From Tuesdays DailyO


 Following is the call issued by Dwight B. Heard, president and Harry Welch, secretary of the Ari- zona Good Roads Association, for a conference to be held in Phoenix on Monday, January ?, at 10 o'clock a. m., in the War Work building.
 Arizona Good Roads Association
 Arizona Division of the National
 Highways Association
 Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 10, 1919.
 Call for Good Roads Conference Gentlemen:
 We believe that the present is a most opportune time for undertak- ing throughout the state of Arizona, comprehensive system of road building, especially in view of the fact that this public work will offer an additional opportunity for en- ployment for the returning soldiers and sailors.
 A practical system of good roads in Arizona would prove one of the states greatest assets. The federal government is prepared, under cer- tain conditions, to expend $9OO,0O0 in this state during the coming year, and a large amount of state and county funds will also be expended in road construction. Tn order to get the best results with the least expenditure of funds, serving effect ively all portions of the state, the most careful coordination of road building plans must be secured.
 Realizing the vital importance of this matter, and representing all counties of the state, we have joined in a call for a Good Roads Confer ence to be held at Phoenix, Arizona, on Monday, January 27th at 10 a. m. at the War Work building, Room 31, when representatives of all boards of supervisors, cities, commercial and other organizations, managers of bureaus for returned soldiers and sailors, and all others interested in the cause of good roads, can meet and outline recommendations
 We urgently request that every section of the state be fully repre- sented. Board of supervisors and mayors of cities, are entitled to ap- point five delegates each, commer- cial and other organizations are en- titled to three delegates each. The purpose being to make of this con vention a thoroughly statewide body all interests in Arizona.
 Will you kindly give this matter your early attention, and notify the secretary of the Good Roads Ass1- citation the names of the delegates whom you may appoint.
 Yours very truly,
 GOOD ROADS ASSO-
 CAPTION,

WANDERING PIGS CAUSE
 OWNER TO DROP $35 CASH.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Frank Leonard, who was arrested in the east end of town on Thurs day afternoon by Chief of Police Bloom on a charge of interfering with an officer in pursuit of his duty, was yesterday morning fined $10 when his case was called in Judge Whisman's court. According to the story told by Mir Bloom, Leonard had been allowing his drove of hogs to wander at will through the east side of town. On Thursday morning, the pigs got into the E. A. Kastner yard on North Mt. Vernon street and Poundmaster Sheets was called in to corral them. While Sheets was engaged in an attempt to round up the porkers, Leonard ap- peared on the scene and scattered the pigs in all directions and pre- vented Sheets from nabbing any of them.
 Chief Bloom appeared at this june ture and arrested Leonard and aided Sheets in rounding up the swine. The hogs were taken to the city pound, and Leonard's case was set for yes terday morning. Not only did Mir. Leonard have to pay the $lO which had been levied against him, but was also compelled to pay an additional $25 in order to settle up the pound bill and secure possession of his hogs.
