Nine Years Experience as Superior
 Judge

Has presided over the Superior Court of all the Counties of the State except three.
 Frequently called to sit as mem Der of the Supreme Court when one of the Supreme Judges was disquali- fled and in each instance prepared the opinion of the Court.
 Unlike Governor Campbell, who in his announcement for reelection stated that in the twenty years he had served the public, he could say that he had never been spurred on by per sonal ambition, but on that each occa- sion when he became candidate it was because of a public demand that he do so, the judge says that he is run ming because he wants the position, and not at the urgent request of his many friends, nor because of any known public demand for his services Adv.

Condit;'" cf livestock and Ranges |.
 Arizona and Western New Mexico,

Phoenix, Ariz,-Showery weather continued over mos, range sectious of the state during the week ending August 10th, acording to mail and telegraph sdvices received by the Weather Bureau office. In the South east rain is still badly needed though locally heavy showers have fallen. In the neighborhood of Stafford the range is dry with no summer grass and this is typical of great part of the southeastern counties, except Santa Cruz county where rainfall has been much more abundant Range con- ditions over the east-central portion of the state are excellent. On ths Apache Indian reservation stick are in splendid condition. Rainfall has been plentiful above 7,50o feet eleva tion and showers at lower levels have kept the grass going. Over the area from Pine to Heber, conditions are excellent, about Pinto they could not be better, and they are generally satisfactory over the north central portion of the state.

CHAIRMAN OF THE SOUTHWEST ERIN HIGHWAY COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT ON THE
 MULE CREEK ROAD

MT. B. l.. Wise, of Mule Creek, N. M., was in town on Friday and left the following report at the Era Office:
 MT w. M Harris. County Superin- tendent of Roads of Grant County N. M., has been surveying the Mule Creek road and will begin the actual work on the road within the next ten days. He has Completed the sur veying over the toughest part of the road and has found that there will not be a grade of over four percent any where on the New Mexico side.
 He expects to have the road in shape as far as grading and curviture is concerned, and receive state aid from New Mexico as soon as he re- ceives a definite answer from the road officials of Arizona, and Green lee county to meet him at the state line.
 MT. Harris is very much enthused over the proposition, owing to the fact that he has found such small percentage of grade on a mountain road.

to give the babies and children the right start in life and place them in proper home surroundings. This is especially true with reference to the campaign on Tuberculosis. In tn Survey which has been completed in some of the Southern towns of Arizona, hundreds of children who have been living in intimate contact with advanced tubercular cases have been examined and found to have been already infected and markedly predisposed to the disease. Through the health centers and the visiting nurses these children will be carefully made to restore them to normal condition and upbuild their resistance so that they will overcome the in- lection and not break down, with tuberculosis in later life.
 The Survey, in brief, has the fol lowing objects:
 1. To detarn1ine the housing conditions with special reference to congestion and sanitation.
 g. To ascertain the present or existing sickness and to learn what sickness has been in the families during the past year which might be conductive to illness of another nature later on.
 3, To ascertain the home sur rounding with reference to proximi- ty of stables, exposed garbage and other sources of fly breeding.
 A. To ascertain the sanitary con ditions of all stores, restaurants, hotels and soda, fountains.
 5. To investigate sewerage dis posal and make recommendations for the elimination of existin, evils in this particular.
 6. To investigate water supply and trace the point of origin of any pollution,
 '. To point out the need of estab fishing permanent Free Clinics, about which the work of the Community Nurse or Public Health Nurse sheuld cen, CT.
 8. To cooperate with local healtf officers and Public Welfare organiza ens in the enforcement of present laws aimed to preserve public health and to assist in the adopting of sucf additional ordinances as may be found necessary to overcome existing evils
 The Statewide Public Health Sur vey has been enthusiastically receiv ed in all of the twelve counties thus far. reached, and in every instance the funds provided by the State Board of Health and the Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis Association have been supplemented by local organiza tons and interested individuals. The expense of conducting the Survey an( the Free Clinic in Morenci will bt shared by the State Board of Health the Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis Asso citation and the Morenci Chapter of th' American Red Cross.

 Than of Force" in Address

Camp Perry, Ohio Aug. 12-Honor able prevention of war by the arb.- trament of reason rather than of force was urged by Governor Cox today in an address opening the democratic presidential nominee's speaking tour.

 Will Always Be Guard
 There will always be a national guard in the states, if for no other reson than domestic defense, and the military arm of the federal government will be maintained, but the hope that vast expenditures for ornaments are a thing of the past, possesses every home in America, while the common impulse that moves the great mass of people world wide, is inspired by the vision of peace and the settlement of controversy by the arbitrament of rea- son rather than of force.'
 Praises War Record
 Praising the national guardsmen's s record in the war, Governor Cox said many had failed to receive commits sions won by bravery and declared that belated justice now should be accorded them. Governor Cox elabo rated on a theme in his acceptance i speech, government aid to ex-service men, declaring many met obstacles on returning to civil life These, he said the government should assist whe- | ever possible.
 Value of Craftsmanship The governor also cited the value of American craftsmanship in the ] nations history and expressed the hope that America would continue "a nation of sportsmen, devoted to the propagation of wild life, and build ing health and sinew in the open" The occasion of Governor Cox's ad dress was the presentation of the governors cup" in the national rifle shoot. He returned to Columbus to l night.

PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEY IF MORENC| WILL CLOSE WITH DEMONSTRATION
 FREE FREE CLING, AUG. ' I028 INCLUSIVE

The Statewide Public Health Sur vey of Arizona has this week reach ed the towns of Morenci and Clifton The Survey has been underway for the past two months, and has been conducted in the form of house to house canvas by community nurses who have recorded data concerning the housing conditions, the sanita- ton, and the present and past illness of thel people themselves. For every family and every dwelling complete record card has been made These cards are to be tabulated and charted and the records will be published when the Survey is com pleted throughout the State.
 The Survey is being conducted comparatively by the Arizona State Board of Health and the Arizona ArtiTuberculdsis Association. As the Survey has reached the various communities the locaI Red Cross Chapters and other Public Welfare organizations have joined forces and have taken active part in the Survey.
 A feature of the Survey in each community is the Demonstration Free Clinic which is conducted at the close of the house to house can vass These clinics serve two purposes: First; they are productive of additional valuable data which it was impossible for the nurses to secure; and secodly, through the clinics, hundreds of families are given not only diagnosis, but valu- able information and directions as to preserving the health of their babies and children.
 All of the physicians in Morenci have endorsed the Free Clinic which opens next week, and all have pledg- ed themselves to gratuitously give their services for diagnosis of Clinic cases. The clinic hours have been scheduled for to Il each morning and 1 to every afternoon.

Center Of Markets. West

mand Change from Mon
arch Pass Route.

The tri-tunnel amendment is un.
doubtedly carried. Denver and north
western Colorado have extended the
helping hand to the Western Slope,
bound down as we have been for 40
years with inadequate railroad trans-
portation. Pueblo, Canon City and
Salida, in fact all the towns of the Ar
kansas valley and southeastern Colo
rado have opposed US. They used the
most senseless and ridiculous argu-
ments against the tri-tunnel bill, which
was designed to help Pueblo more than
1t did Denver. These towns not only
voted against US, but they passed reso-
lutions, wrote letters by the thous-
ands, subscribed money like water 70
advertise against US. Apparently they
want 70 see the western part of the
state remain for the next forty years
an undeveloped empire, unable to ex--
port because Of narrow gage railroads,
high mountains passes and resultant
high freight rates. i
It is evident that the Arkansas val
ley towns don't want anything to do
with US. Therefore, the suggestion
has been made to the News Champion
by half a dozen Gunnison citizens that
our Chamber Of Commerce, aided by
0y the county commissioners, town
council and similar bodies in Montrose
Delta and neighboring towns, immedi-
ately petition the railroad commission
to change the location of Monarch
tunnel to Alpine pass.
This would give us an outlet with
100 MILES SHORTER ROUTE TO
DENVER THAN ANY OTHER POS
SIBLE RAILROAD.
Look at the map. 1t is 289 miles
TO Denver by way Of Pueblo and only
202 miles by way of the old South
Park, whose road bed is still in fair
condition. Passenger and even stock
trains used to make Denver from Gun
nison in ten hours instead of fifteen on
the Rio Grande. No new approaches
would have to be built. Starting lit
tie above Quartz, four miles from Pit
kin, a five or six mile tunnel would se-
cure much better grade on both sides
than Monarch. The saving of 80 to
100 miles on all freight and passenger
transportation from Southwestern Col
orado to a market center would be
worth almost as much as the saving in
4 power gained by the tunnel in lifting
trains over the mountains.

is often charged and generally believ-
ed that at the time the South Park
was built, the Rio Grande bribed the
South Park engineer to locate the east
portal on the north side of the noun
tain where ice and snow block it for
eight months in the year. Certainly
no one but fool would have located
1T where it is built, unless he was
bribed, or was rank tenderf0ot.
None of these objections would
hold against six-niile tunnel properly
located above Pitkin. Arkansas val
ley towns would not object for they
would still have the benefit Of the
San Juan tunnel, and besides they do
not want tunnels anyway.
It may be objected also that the

Sensational SHOOTING Of

Grand Junction Man Murders Son and Serious

A sensational shooting affair occurred
at Aontrose last Monday afternoon,
when J. J. Baker of Grand junction
shot and killed James Kelley. well
known Montrose sheepman, probably
fatally wounded his father, ID. NJ. Kei-
ley and seriously wounded his brother,
Dan Kelley Jr. The shooting was the
result Of hot quarrel between the
men over q sheep deal and took place
in the rear Office of the Montrose Live
Stock Commission Co. The Montrose
county officials got wind Of q reported
attempt to lynch Baker and he was
rushed TO the Delta county Jail where
he is at the present time. II seems
that Kelley and his two sons purchased
q large number of sheep from Baker
q couple of years ago, and the stock
was not all paid for. When the men
met in the office Monday, discussion
was Immediately started which ended
in the shooting. Neither Of the Kel-

A phone conversation with Con-
gressman Taylor at Glenwood Springs
brings the cheerful information that
our popular congressman viii carry
the fourth district ms usual, receiving
a majority in all or nearly all of his
% counties. Due to the Republican
landslide these majorities will be
somewhat reduced, and his total ma
jority instead Of 10000 will be between
1000 and 5000.

The momentous election Of 1920 is

fast being tabulated into stupendous
republican victory in state and nation.
The "kick" Of the general fight was
reflected in the Gunnis0n county re-
turns where the republicans have elect
Helen Blackstock superintendent Of
schools, DIR. Hyatt - coroner, Walter
Haymaker as assessor, and ON the
face Of the returns claim Knowles over
Mcdonald ~ commissioner from the
second district, with . lead Of 49,. The
race between Judge HcDougal and
Tom Hogan for county Judge is also
close, but here the Judge has the ad-
vantage Of b eng ahead on the tabu-
lated returns, with Muddy precinct and
the absent voters to hear from.
Melvin Herrick for county treasur-

majority Of 604. DR.. Sullivan, for
commissioner, is next, with EOS. C. C.
AcWilliams and Pat Hanlon piled up
fat matorities from the Somerset pre-
einet which proved . waterloo to the
other candidates. Charley Cowan for
representative has 20 majority and
will comfortably await the official
count. His scalp was viciously sought
by certain elements, who also succeed

Good news for the Western Slope is
contained in the word from Denver
that the tri-tunnel amendment almost
certaihly carried, in spite Of the stren-
uous opposition Of the Arkansas Val

The Fort Collins district, 5000, and in
fact all northern Colorado from east
to west was in favor Of it. Only the
knocker outfit 1t Puebie--was opposed.
Gunnison will give 500 majority for
