BOYS ARREST MARKS FIRST STEP ID STOP
 STEALING IF PAPERS

As the first step in a campaign to stop the wholesale thieving of Repub- licans from doorsteps and street cor ners, Tom Hauser, 15, yesterday was arrested and placed in the city jail on a warrant sworn out by Oliver King, circulation manager Of The Republi- can. Hauser is charged with taking a bundle of 250 mornng papers last Sat urday mornng from the corner of Seventh and Van Buren streets where they had been left for the carriers.
 According to the complaint, Hauser took two receipt books which were left for the carriers to use in collecting on their routes. Hauser is alleged to have collected about $1.50 with the re- ceipts. The papers were in two bun dies and it is alleged that Hauser took one of the bundles and threw it into the canal and the other bundle of papers he is said to have hid under the steps of the Catholic church. This is not the first time that Hauser is alleged to have destroyed bundles of papers, MT King said
 It is the intention of The Republican management to break up the practice of stealing the papers from doorsteps where the boys have thrown them From three to five complaints are received daily from subscribers who have no paper. The practice is not confined to boys alone. and it is said that old men are also getting their daily papers by the filching method Warrants will be sworn out for all those who are known to be guilty of taking the papers.

KELLY WILL SECOND KEMPIE IN
 FRIDAYS CONTEST

Interest in the Palmer Robinson fight scheduled for Tally's arena Friday night is increasing daily as hundreds of fans watch the two boys in training at the Lewis quarters
 From the attitude of both boys in getting ready for the match the out come of their meeting means a great deal to them. They take to the road every morning conditioning their wind and the evening finds them hard at work with the gloves.
 Spider Kelly, the celebrated second from San Francisco. who is now mak- ing his headquarters in Tucson. is ex- pected to go behind Robinson in the coming contest
 Battling Scotty, the Phoenix favo- rite will receive his first real tryout when he faces Mack Spaw Friday night. Spaw has nine straight kayos to hts credit. This match should be an eX- citing go as Scotty is known to be a fast worker and hard hitter. Kewpie Robinson is training with Scotty and the two exchange some stiff ones from all angles.
 Palmer takes on Young Maza and several other local sIuggers. He is in fine form If he wins this match he is counting on meeting Battling Ortega in the near future
 Billy Alger and Young Nugent are scheduled to meet in a speclal event but the match maker stated last nlgnr that perhaps Wild Cat Ellis will be substituted for Nugent if Ellis wins his bout with Holguen in Miami. Battling Sam and Kid Buzzo will furnish the opener and should furnish some lively interest for the fans.
 Tucson fans have wired to Doyle.s cigar stand for 15 reservations and calls are coming in rapidly from Globe, Ray, Bisbee and Douglas. The local sale indicates the fight will draw a record breaking crowd.

 As a result of the publicity the Glen dale district has received throughout the summer through the medium of the press it is anticipated that there will be a heavy influx Of visitors and new arrivals this fall and winter and already the problem of housing them is becoming serious. The scarcity or bank funds for real estate loans at this time has prevented much building ac- tivity during the summer. but with the crops out of the way and the money needed to finance them flowing back to the banks again, the commercial club anticipates this situation will be relieved and that Glendale twill witness veritable boom in building this fall and winter.

AL though the announcement has just been made, 1t is understood that the wedding took place last August, a fact known to the family since Thanks giving day, when it was announced a a dinner given by Mrs. Jack Rice of San Francisco, sister of Mir.

mals Complaint had been made that a man living near Marinette had been starving a lot of mules, 70 of them. Mir. Canning went to see about it and found that the story that had been brought to him was inadequate. One mare was so far gone that Mir. Canning shot her. The mules were subsisting upon dry manure in the feed yard.
 The man who owned them told MT. Canning that he had ordered 25 bales Of hay, but that it's coming had been delayed. With the understanding that the mules would be fed a certain ration of hay every day with some bran mash until they had been restored, he re- turned to town. But in a day or two word was brought to him that the mules had not yet been relieved. Then he secured a warrant from Justice Pat terson of Glendale, and the owner of the mules was arrested and brought into court, where he was fined S25. Hay was forthcoming soon thereafter.
 Another matter in which MT Can ming is interested is the announcement of a forthcoming wild west event in which there will be ''bull logging" He then made a counter announcement that there would be none nor any oth- CT performance in which cattle are con cerned. contrary to the statutes in such cases made and provided.

as far as possible and in crossing the
mountain valleys to elevate the grade,
thus permitting the wind to sweep
clear the highway of snow as fast as
falls.
This is the problem which confront.
ed the highway department when the
present administration took charge,
and this is the kind of a road which
the state engineer is now building.
The highway for the most part passes
through forest reservations covered
with heavy timber. Timber on the
south side of a road shades it, causing
dangerous patches of ice, and to over
come this danger it has been found
necessary to cut down the larger trees
for a considerable distance on the
south side. The necessary permission
has been received from the forest
service, which realizes the necessity
for keeping the roads open.
The second vital consideration in
improving this portion of the road has
been to provide proper surfacing ma
terial The region is peculiar in that
the country rock is of the hardest
character known and disintegrates in
to the finest particles of dust which,
when coming into contact with water,
forms the stickiest, softest, spongiest
mud with which highway builders
have to contend.
Fortunately, the same forces of ma
ture which produced this metamorphic
formation Of malpais or bad rock" as
it was called ty the early Spanish
explorers, threw UP red volcanic
ash or cinder which occur in the form
of huge pit deposits at somewhat reg
ular intervals along the right of way.
These cinders have long been used
by the Santa Fe for ballasting and for
highway surfacing they have been
found ideal. No rock crusher is neces-
sary to handle them The material is
shovel, which works on the same prin-
ciple as a steam shovel The cinders
are loaded directly into trucks and
then dumped on the grade, forming
surface which is fast, smooth and
hard in dry weather or rain.
During the last three years the road
east from Williams for sixteen miles
has been put in excellent shape
through relocations and reconstruc-
tion Of portions and cinder surfacing..

The state highway department forces
are now working on the remaining fif-
teen miles into Flagstaff. This work
is being financed from Coconino coun-
tvs $15O000 road bond issue supple
mented by federal aid. The work was
offered to bidders twice. No bids
were received as the construction was
different in nature and most of the
contractors were elsewhere employed.
Under these circumstances the state
highway department offered to under
take the job if desired and the offer
was accepted by the highway commits
sion of Coconino county.
Four days after the commission said
"Go!" state forces were On the
ground. Despite the heavy summer
rains two camps were established and
with fifty head of mules, numerous
trucks, caterpillar tractors, graders,
plows, gasoline shovel and a small
army of men they were making the

was wonder to all who witnessed
the operations.
And they are still at it. BY dint
of. extraordinary effort the state en-
gineer hopes to have the road COM
pleted into Flagstaff before snow
comes, realizing that what is to be
done must be done within the next
thirty days, if at all, this season.
An interesting thing in connection
with the surfacing is that through the
use of modern machinery the cost has
been kept to point even below costs
which obtained before the war. The
state engineer has detailed figures to
bear out this statement, which is re-
garded as remarkable in view of the
rising cost of labor and construction
work in general since the war.
