The mass of the people is so busy

few fish that IL hasn't time for things
abstract. Furthermore, the feeling Of
the people Is growing more antagonistic
to militarism and military service.
Even under most favorable circum-
stances, Japan could not make war
alone against the United States. 1t is
the question as to Japan's future alli-
ances that Is Of first Importance now.
In an alliance she would be q powerful
factor; alone, she requires too many
commodities and materials from the
outside to make her dangerous, espe-
cially in q war with the United States.
Without Importation of steel, iron
and machinery, Japan would soon be
In bad way industrially. That very
fact explains why she has been 10 eager
to get into the Chinese iron deposits.
Japan didn't want the north half OF
Saghalin island as colonization spot
She wants its minerals, coal and oil.
Therefore, while many of her opera =
tions on the Asiatic continent have q
distinct military and imperialistic as
pect,. some Of them will be found to be
based on desire to provide for her in :

NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
VENISON SHIPMENT
 ARRIVED AS BEEF

There was a recent curious trans formation of a shipment between Ce- dar Glade and Prescott. Deputy Sher- iff Harris had seized some meat of g carcass of deer which had been kill ed out of season, and found in the Puntenny Lime company plant. The deputy sheriff packed the meat in a sack in the presence of Forest Super visor James C. Scott and Forest Ranger Smith. It was to be sent by express. Scott advised Harris that it would be better to superintend the transportation of the sack, but the lat ter believed that it would go through intact.
 On its arrival it was found that the sack contained only scraps of beef, and the case against the persons charged with killing deer out of sea- son fell to the ground for the lack of a proper exhibit.
 But though that case is gone, the foundation is laid for another one, which is in the investigatory stage, relative to the miracle by which the meat Was so radically changed en route. Game Warden Joe Prochaska is leaving no avenue that will lead to information, untrodden, and those who were brought into contact with the shipment from Cedar Glade will be closely questioned.

MARCICOPA ROAD WORK
 BIDS ON WRONG TARIFFS

Following close upon the announce ment that the Maricopa county high way commission had received a low bid for the construction of all-concrete highways by means of the $4,000, 900 bond issue, a bid based on $4 per ton freight rate on cement, the South ern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads to- day notified the commission that the reduced rate could not be secured. The present freight rate is $6.40 a ton. The Southern Pacific's commun- ication expressed an opinion that the present cement rates were as low as the company could defend considering other long distance cement rates gen. erally and considering also that in- vestigation in other sections of the country showed similar situations in other states and that no concessions had been granted elsewhere.'
 To the two railroad representatives who communicated the decision of the carriers, Commissioner Hackett said: "You may wire in reply that there will be no cement to haul at the present freight rates, and that's final"

OLD 4sER DIES AT KINGMAN

Another pioneer is gone; another blazer of desert trails has passed the divide. Judge William c. Blakely, a 49er, and one of the best known men of the state, passed to his eternal home early last Monday morning.
 William G. Blakely was born m kortwright, Delaware county, New York, August %, 1929. He followed the procession of gold seekers to Cal ifornia in 1S49, taking up his resi- dence at Sonora, where he discovered the Eureka mine, which since that time has been great producer of gold. in 1861 he and family removed to Carson City, Nevada, where he en- tered upon the practice of law. In California he was ordained minister of the Methodist church and while not following the ministry as a profession he entered largely into religious af- fairs in the Sagebrush state. He was appointed superintendent of schools for the state and did much to organ- ize the public school system of that sparsely settled country. Later he re- moved to Pioche and in 1871 came to Mohave county in company of the late k. G. Patterson, taking up his resi- dence at 'Cerbat. During his long residence in Mohave county he had held many offices of trust, among which was that of district attorney, probate judge, county judge and rep resentative in the state legislature. All of the positions he filled with abil- ity and credit.-Kingman Miner.

GIRLS INSTRUCTED IN
 USE OF THE BALLOT

The Woman's City Club of Chicago has undertaken to see that girls in the loop department stores are in- structed in the use of the ballot and impressed with the value of the right to go to the polling place and lend their voice in the government.

 The girls are being told of the three registers in which they must write their qualifications to vote in order to become a recognized voter.

DOCTORS MUST OVERCOME
 FLU, SAY SPEAKERS

Medical science must develop some method for exterminating or controll- ing influenza, if the fight against tu- berculosis is to be successful, accord ing to speakers at the annual conven- tion of the National Tuberculosis as- sociation held at St. Louis recently.
 Examination of past influenza cases, it was asserted, developed that 65 per cent were infected with the tubercu- lar baccilli.
 Great headway could be made in checking the spread of tuberculosis if employers would realize the value of having their employees undergo an ex- animation, according to Dr. John s. Billings, director of the New York Tuberculosis association. Many cases are. in that way, detected in the incip- tent stage and proper attention effects a complete cure.
