For the Good of
 the Community

the Community THE inland waterways are no longer petl- tioning at the door of the government. They have gotten beyond the scramble for such handouts for development as might be got ten in a paternalistic way through efficient con- gressnen and senators watchful of the interests of their constituencies
 The waterways and waterway transportation have been put on level with the railroads With the view of making them serve commerce the same as railroads do Where an inland stream may serve, it stands in line for recognition
 The governments is definitely committed. The first clause of Section 500 of the transportation act reads:
 Itishereby declared to be the policy of the Congress to promote, encourage and de- veop water transportation service and la cilities in connection with the commerce of the United States and preserve m full VlgOr both rail and water transportation.
 That is the same as to say that waterway and rail transpOrtation stand before the government on equal footing and that the government ln- tends that both systems of transportation shall be so treated as to serve the business interests of the country.
 This is precisely that for which the waterway interests have contended. They have not sought to put railroads out of business but to serve as an auxiliary common carrier. The government says they shall be allowed to do that.
 In letter of instructions to district and divi- sion engineers Col. c. B. Pillsbury, chief of en- gineers of the war department, says this
 Division and district engineers should at all times maintain cordial relations with To- cal officials and commercial bodies and en- deavor to obtain a clear insight into condl- tons governing transportation movements in their districts. It is only through inti- mate understanding of the causes underly- ing the existing failures to utilize our navl- gation facilities that steps can be taken to rectify conditions and to carry out the trust imposed upon the department of promoting, encouraging and developing inland water way transportation in connection with the commerce of the United States.
 It is for the establishment of these relations and to secure data on which the government may base sound system of waterway develop n1ent that Colonel Pillsbury has ordered the pulp lie hearing respecting Alabama waterways at Mobile July 28.
 The government wants to know all about the rivers and has invited those who possess the data to present tat these hearings, whence it will be transmitted to the department at Washington and filed there for ready use when interests of the waterways are under consideration.
 The government will especially apply ascertainng craft best suited to the different waterways aiding To- caes planning and placing terminals keeping track of the transportation act and will generally promote and Under this law and this governmental attitude worthy inland waterway projects cannot but develop None them stands

THIS ARIZONAN WAS
 A PRISONER OF WAR
(From Sundays DailY)

Mike Molitke, of Greek nativity, but naturalized citizen of the Unit ed States, passed through the city yesterday from overseas for Quartz site, where he has mining interests and where a brother is located.
 He stated that he was captured by Bulgarians while in the Serbian army and exchanged after six months in a bullpen. The treatment given the allies in custody was horrible, and over 65 per cent succumbed from starvation and disease. The Bull garians of the lower type he classes as beasts, and their hatred of the Serbian is so intense that they were picked on as the ones to suffer the most cruel of barbarities.
 q proved my nativity by papers carried, and only for this reason did I escape a frightful death; it was bad enough" he concluded.
 Molitke has been in Arizona tor Sc years, and in 1908 volunteered to go with the Rough Riders, but was not accepted Several years ago he worked. in the Dividend mine at Chaparral.

THE REAL KICK IN THE OLD
 WHITE MULE
(From Tuesdays Daily1

On the streets yesterday the re- porter learned through the posses sion of ears adapted for long dis tance conversation, that the trouble with home distilled white mule from fermcntcd cornmeal is the presence of acetic acid in the brew.
 So if any of the fortunate notice peculiar notification that in the left breast there is a heart, it might be well to remember that pyrotoXins, are formed when burning tannic acid to give that keg-wood flavor. And the acctic acid plays some part in the inner economy not approved by the medical profession. Willow charcoal and calcium chloride pur- chases in quantities arc now on the suspicious trading with the enemy list, so it behooves the conscientious law violator to find ways and means to avoid poisoning himself or his friends with his latest attempt.

The scene at the grounds of the Hassayampa Country club IS busy one. The dirt has flown and the work of constructing the beautiful clubhouse is well nnder way. In fact the first floor of the club room has already been constructed. Hundreds enjoyed Saturday and Sunday morn ing and afternoon on the links. While there are some who were down on the world in general for the scores they failed to make, others were happy in that they played the best game since the links were opened. Very noticeable is the interest which the ladies of Prescott are showing in the game. When some who have played considerable get back into form, it is planned to have ladies tournament.
 Already two cups are hanging ready for the Hassayampers to cap ture; one from the Verde valley golfers and the other 10 be awarded by the Saplding company, this hay ing been arranged for by Frank Eos ter. Before many days SFork on the tennis courts will commence. The club has grown i'll popularity and memberships will certainly be at a premium after the opening of the clubhouse.
