 cred Friday evening at the Rosswog home, and slipping over to the home of MT. and Mrs. c. H.

Phillips and Dr. Wright One of the games played required each one present to tell some thrilling incident i from his life's experiences. All voted that Miss Rosswog's and Miss ThaW- 1 Ieys stories were the best and pro eeeded to shower them with ludicrous "prizes" Each guest also bestowed upon the two girls a wishbone, to which was attached witty litle verse wishing them the best of luck while they were gone. All the girls were then given maps of states cut from cardboard, for which the boys sup piled the capitals, whereupon they sat down together to enjoy coffee, cake, sandwiches and ice cream as the close of very happy evening. # # *

KANSAS CITY, July 16.-The /.
W. W. program to gain control Of the
Kansas harvest this summer, in which
secret communications revealed that
more than a hundred men we're COM

SA N|TARY LEAGUE
FORMED BY LADIES.
Civic Organization By Wick
enburg Housewives Calls for
Clean-Up.O Ordinance.

The ladies of Wickenburg have
formed a civic league and are
prepared to meet the demands
for a better and healthier town.
According to call they met last
Monday at the Presbyterian
church and appointed a delega-
'tion to visit the City Council
meeting on Wednesday night.
Among those present were Mes
DANES Volk, Shannon, Butler,
Wilkinson, Baxter and Paul.
In the discussion which fol-
lowed the trustees were asked to
frame, and enforce an ordinance
to prevent accumulation of gar
bage and filth around town either
upon public streets, sidewalks or
on the lots or premises of private
owners,
1t was shown that there was
danger of disease being spread
by tuberculer patients who came
in here to get the benefit of our
salubrious climate. These pro
miscuously deposit their infec-
tious sputum about the walks
and crossings of the town only
to dry up and later be inhaled as
CONTAGIOUS dust that is breathed
into the lungs Of healthy resi-
dents with every wind that
blows.
The ladies found favor, as they
always do, and the Mayor was
instructed to look up and frame
an ordinance that will meet the
emergency with an addenda spec
flying that persons who have tu-
berculosis shall be required tc
carry sputum cups as provided
by the state law.
A cleanup week was designated
to begin on January Oath and
continues for a whole week, after
which persons who neglect, OF
refuse to dispose of their old tin
cans and garbage, shall be prose
cuted. The penalty for avoid
ing or neglecting to comply with
this ordinance will mean a fine
of $40 or ten days in the city
bastile.

and at this writing it is believed
the man will recover. The doc

till O'Brien is out of danger, when
a preliminary hearing will be
given him.
A private dispatch received to-
day, says the preliminary hear

Suspension Footbridge.

w. w. Bass, who owns about
80 acres across the river, has be-
gun operations to put a foot
bridge across the Hassayampa at
the place where the two spans
went out. He has been to Phm-
nix, bought a winch and acquired
also steel cable from r. A. Volk
to suspend the foot bridge across
the chasm left by the going out
of two spans that were washed
away on Thanksgiving. This bit
of enterprise on the part of our
townsman ought to be a gentle re-
minder to the county supervisors
that production of ore out at the
mines has ceased and correspond
ing travel and trade with people
of Maricopa county is seriously
handicapped. The erection of a
suspension footbridge by w. ".
Bass is a commendable bit of
enterprise that will be appreci-
ated by many people who might
otherwise be compelled to swim
over and back.

W|CkE:NBI]RG GETS
CENTRAL HIGHWAY
Buckeye and River Route Too
Expensive and Upkeep Too
Heavy to Be Practical.

Looks now like the Central
Arizona Highway as the STATE
MINER has heretofore maintained,
will eventually come via Wicken-
burg. The bonds issued by Yuma
county specify the improvement
and building of a highway thru
Wenden and the northern partof
the county. The route via Buck
eye and Gillespie will eat up the
major portion of Yuma county's
road bonds and the upkeep of
heavy travel over a light roadbed
laid on top of sand in five years
would equal it's original cost and
then have to be done over again.
The southern or border highway,
already established to Yuma will
answer for all purposes to San
Diego and environs. Converg-
ing another route at Yuma over
those hot sands would be ridicu-
lous as it is costly and serve only
travel headed for San Diego and
be an expenditure of money very
much needed to make northern
Yuma county, its mines and new
irrigation districts along the Col
orado accessible. The central
route via Wickenburg will serve
Phoenix much better, going and
coming; is less expensive besides
offers advantages of travel to
Prescott, the Grand Canyon and
all points East and west via the
Apache trail a fact that Yavapai
is already preparing for by the
completion of its highway from
Prescott to Wickenburg right up
to the Maricopa county line only
two miles from town.

TOWNS FUTURE
IS PROGRESSIVE
Liberal Policies Affecting the
Municipal Government Will
Speed Business Growth.

The publisher of the ARIZONA
STATE MINER came to Wicken-
burg a year ago and from what
he saw then firmly convinced him
that of all Arizona towns this had
the brightest future. He went
back to California, gathered up
the family belongings, three sons
and wife and brought them here,
intent upon making a permanent
home where the silvery Hasa
yampa wends it's way. Later ar
rangements for the removal of a
publication he had founded over
twenty years ago came about and
like the village parson, blast our
fooled souls, hyar we are, after
over nine months scratching an
gophering about for scant liv-
ing. We're just as full of ginger
right now on the growth Of Wick
enburg as the Bering sea is full
of ice this time of year.
Now we're not certain that it s
going to blossom out like a big
sunfower tomorrow, next week,
or the week after; but the fu-
ture of this burg is as sure as
corn in Iowa, or hogs in Mis-
souri,. 1t is the one thing to be
dreamed of, talked about and
worked for by every bona fide
citizen of the town. Talking up
the advantages and resources of
Wickenburg means success to the
cattle, goat and sheepmen as we'll
as crooked backed farmers and
thrifty miners. It means adding
to our seductive climate those
conditions that makes for lower
cost of living, comforts and lux
uries. This condition of pros
perity for our town wont come
by high taxes on property valu-
ations nor occupation and busi-
ness licenses that scares away
the tinsmith, or washerwoman.
Throw down the bars of business
competition and let the people in
who want to buy lots and start
something.
