Where the J1tneys Won Out
By Frederic J. Haskin

could not get any business. The jitneyS had it all. The bus line got another ordinance. just like the first one passed, and the jitney drivers again went into court and had it declared unconstitu- tionaI. That finished the bus line as means of conveyance within the city. The jitneys are now absolutely su- preme, and they have a remarkably secure place in the affections of the people.
 This jitney service is a good example of a very loose organization in which every individual is a free operator, but which serves it's purpose very well. The union has president and a lodge room. It costs ten dollars to join it, and a dollar month in dues. The union has a business agent on the street. who looks out for it's interests. Each driver, however, is free to drive where and when he pleases. Supply and demand is relied upon to regulate the number of jineys operating on each street, and this laissez -faire policy seems to work very well, as you never have to wait long for a car anywhere. The driver may leave his route wher- ever he pleaseS. If he has time he will often take you to your door for dime or nickel extra, but in the rush hours he will usually refuse to do this. The only hard and fast regulations have to
 
 ries a card on the windshield which announces on the outside that it is a union jitney, and on the reverse car ries a statement of the fares to ali points. Thus there is no chance for misunderstanding
 Nearly all of the jitney operators are young men, most of them little more than boys. They make from $25 to $50 a week each, over and above all eX- penses of operating their cars. That is iii the tourist season. In the summer a good many of them go away, and the rest manage to make living here.
 This jitney service has grown ui: with the city of Miami, which means that it has grown up very fast. Miami has grown like tropical plant. Twen- ty years ago there was next to nothing here. Now there are about 35.o00 reg ular inhabitants, and in winter about the same number of residents. Building is going forward at a great rate. Ho- tels are crowded. Prices are high. but service is good. Every possible oppor- tunity is afforded you to spend your money, but you always get something for it.

COPPER HILL LANDS

Reversing the decision of the United States land office q L Phoenix. the com missioner of the general land office of Washington. D C.. has ordered the aC- ton dismissed in which the government contested the states claim to land in Pinal county. The government based it's action on the report of the mineral inspector who claimed the land was mineral in character and contained val uable deposits of copper. The local of flee held with the government.
 The tracts under dispute are located in the Copper Hill portion of the old Hat mining district and the commis- sioner stated in his ruling, while from the evidence the land has prospective value for mining, it was shown to be more valuable for agricultural pur- poses. He quoted from the mineral in spector who stated that eff he were looking for a mine on his own account he would not locate on the land in question"

WALKS ACROSS us. ID REGAIN HEALTH LOST

Believing by remaining constantly out of doors he can recover from the effects of being gassed in France, Will liam Mullen, who enlisted in the ma rine service when he was 11, arrived in Phoenix yesterday from San Fran cisco He was 21 days on the trip, walking the entire distance. He de- clares that he intends to walk across the United States to his home. and that when he arrives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. he will have entirely regained the strength that was his before he went overseas.
 Mullen is making the trip across country by himself. He laughed at the idea of being afraid of anything after his experience in No Mans Land" He is not yet 20.
 Besides being gassed. young Mullen was twice wounded, his hospital ex- perience being even longer than the many months passed in service. While he wears a sharpshooter's medal he also wears wound stripes. and both cause him inconvenience, for Mullen has very large amount of modesty. He wants to forget about being at Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and any, thing connected with the war; He wants only to remember that he is back in Gods country and that the sun is shining, he says. He. believes ne VIII reach massachusetts by the latter part of July, and that he will be physically fit once more. He carries with him on his jaunt in Tight march, ing order a bit of water, a bit of food and few necessaries.
 "That is all I need and all I want until I get back home Then I am going to begin where I left off and study, study, study. One day you will find my name in glittering electric lights announcing Americas greatest pianist" he confided

text Timothy 4,1-8. Il have fought a
good fight, have finished my course,

there is laid up for me crown of

righteous Judge, shall give me at that
day; and not me only, but unto all
them that love his appearance" The
pastor pointed out the faithful, pious,
humble and sincere character of this
pioneer Christian. an example for our
emulation.
Rev. O. T. Doe, son-in-law Of the
deceased. spoke with much feeling in
behalf OF the family. He based his
remarks on Ruth 1;8. 1.-THE Lord deal
kindly with you, as We have dealt
with the dead and with me. The
Lord grant you that ye may find
rest"
In spite of the bad roads many peo-
pie came both to the h'.uso and the
