Washington, Dec. 13.-The senate

revival of the war finance corpora

The second section of the resolu-
ton, which as introduced would

jerome ISSUES
CHALLENGE To
MAGMA PLAYERS

The Jerome baseball team disputes
the claim of the Magma Copper COM
pany team of Superior to state base
hall honors. In a letter addressed to
the Phoenix Republican sports editor,
E. E. Vanderhoef, manager of the
Jerome team, says:
Claiming of the state champion
ship by either Ray or Superior is TAX
ing in a lot of territory. There are a
number of ball clubs in this part of
the state. The Jerome club disputes
the claims of the Ray and Superior
teams and hereby challenges the win
ner of the Ray-Superior game to a
game for the state title"
Inasmuch as Superior won the game
at Ray last Sunday, the challenge is
directed, as a result, at the Magma
team.
Superior is looking for game for
Sunday. Jerome would probably 'be
glad to get the game, if it has an
open date on that occasion. Such a
game would tie well worth watching.

FIRE THREATENS
TOWN Of HAYDEN

An oil stove in the home of r. l..
Bundick on South Utah avenue started
fire that at one time threatened the
entire southwest part of Hayden last
Saturday. Aided by a strong wind
the flames quickly spread to the ad-
joining building occupied by Mr.. Pert.
Mr. Bundick lost everything. Mr.. Pert
saved most all of his furniture but
lost a number of things together with
all their wearing apparel.
The next house, occupied by S. E.
Stretton, was of adoEe and helped to
check the flames, but was badly dam
aged, as was the house occupied by
Roscoe Henderson. Fortunately the
day shifts were coming out of the
plants and by their united\ efforts,
kept the flames from crossing the
street. The Holiday home and a
house belonging to the ,Gila Valley
bank caught on the roof but were
quickly extinguished
The house occupied by Mr.. Bundick
was the property of Al Cotherman.
Mr.. Perts place was bank property,
and the home of Mr.. Stretton belongs
to Mr.. Etheridge.

of Florence to connect with fine
highway out of Tucson in Pima coun-
ty. The state highway department
has been doing. relocation work on
this section for the past several weeks
and everything is in readiness for
actual construction which will start at
an early date.
One of the most expensive bits Of
work on the Pinal county system is
the Florence bridge which spans the
Gila river. This was completed in
1918 with the exception of the sur
facing of the deck which has just been
finished by state forces at cost of
about $4,000. This work was neces-
sary to meet federal requirements.
Owing to the great volume Of water
which comes down the Gila at certain
seasons and owing to the wandering
nature of the stream extreme care has
to be exercised in the protection Of
the banks above the bridge to prevent
damage to the north end and the ap-
proach. During the present year six
current deflectors have been placed
on the north bank above the bridge.
The same idea has been adopted by
property owners below the bridge.
These deflectors are so constructed
as to retard the flow along the bank,
causing deposition Of sediment
which gradually fills in below each
deflector and helps build up the bank.
They have been used with splendid
results thus far.

We damn the profiteers; but we
forget that until we work long enough
to catch up with our necessities, we
make the shortage that gives the
profiteer the chance to trim us. Next
time you storm and rage about prices
and profiteers, look at the man you
see in the glass and say-thou art tn
man. Let every worker remember
the wisdom of making two blades Of
grass, two pairs of shoes, two coats,
two bushels of wheat, instead Of one,
and act on it. That's the only cure.
Europe will learn it pretty soon and
go to work! and when she does, look
out for squalls. She will bring us
the goods we won't make ourselves;
we have no tariff now; and when she
gets good and busy we will have to
work harder and longer or she'll un-
der-sell us and put us out of work.
Do you get the point? Do it first;
and save our market and your job

Especial to the Copper Camp


PHOENIX, July 81 = One of the
fastest auto roads in Arizona is en-
braced in the 221a miles of improved
highway extending from the Maricopa
county line Is miles east of Mesa to-
ward Florence. Next to permanent
hard surfacing the gravel surfacing
which has been laid presents an ideal
finish, which with the easy grades
and sweeping curves makes auto
travel of from 80 to 35 miles an hour
easy, safe and pleasurable.
This road was constructed and fl
nanced through cooperation of the
Pina1 county authorities and the state
highway department One unit of 1877
miles was built with funds from
Pinal county's portion of the states
Is per cent road tax funds plus fed
eral aid at a cost of $198,OOO. The re-
mainder was built by state forces out
of rs per cent funds.
The highway in question serves a
double purpose, for it carries both
east and west and north and south
bound traffic through Phoenix. Fifty
two miles out of Phoenix is the juno
tion point. The right hand road con-
tinues to Florence and the left leads
to Superior to connect with the fam
GUS Superior-Miami highway now un-
der construction which in turn will
connect with the Globe-Solomonville-
Clifton highway.
Continuing the improvement beyond
the junction point, toward Florence,
state forces are now completing a 81
mile section at an estimated cost of
$67, 400, federal aid having been Sc
cured on this portion, and the remain
ing gap into Florence will be finished
by state forces. When this work is
completed a fast desert boulevard,
properly graded and banked, beauti-
fully surfaced and adequately drained
will he presented to the travelling pub
lie as an important unit of the Bank
head highway system extending across
southern Arizona as part of a great
transcontinental highway.
The Pinal county highway commits
sion is now anxious to complete the
Improvement from the junction point
to Superior and to this end $150,000
has been set aside from the recent
county bond issue State forces are
now working on the first two miles
from the junction point toward Super
ior, which project has been estimated
at $4,000. A contract has been let
for the construction of bridge across
Queen creek on this section and coz
tractors have been urged to submit
bids for highway construction through
Gonzales pass. If these canont be Sc
cured the work will be done by the
state on the force account basis.

tend the Improvement south and east
