DISCUSS PLAN TO
CHANGE DOKEY AREA

On Monday evening, August 80, two
auto loads of local Dokeys journeyed
over to Hayden to visit the K. of P.
Lodge and renew fraternal acquaint-
ances. Those who made the journey
were: Messrs. V. H. Duffel, E. HI.
Wiser, e. w. French H. e. Easter
day, L. ]. Oakes, John .McCafferty, AL.
A. Smith, J. J. Marshall, r. J. Walsh,
Geo. Morgan and Paul T. Whitehead.
The main topic undre consideration
was the organization it, this part Of
the state of new d. o. K. X. Tenn
pie. At the present time the entire
state of Arizona and part of New Mex
leo constitute this royal domain. This
territory seems too big for the pres
ent organization. The work required
of the Phoenix ID. o. K X. team re-
quires them TO cover so much terri
tory that many of the boys feel that
the order would be better served by
a division of the territory The Ray
tic over the idea of cooperating, or
ganizing and getting a charter so that,
if possible, the next ceremonial in
this district can be put on by our own
team. A committee consisting of
Messrs. Easterday and Oakes of Ray
and Nash of Hayden was appointed
to take up the matter and report as
soon as possible to their respective
lodges.

STATEMENT BY jayne MAKES
GOOD IMPRESSION IN RAY
Aspirant For Republican Nomination For County Attor
ney Addresses Chamber of Commerce And After Meet
ing Explains Away Charge of Bad Faith Made by His
Opponent-Gives Terms of Proposed Deal For With
drawal of Little

y ~
Mr.. A. A. Jayne, republican candi-
date for the office of county attorney,
was visitor in Ray last Wednesday,
attending the banquet given by the
Ray chamber of commerce Wednes-
day evening, and, incidentally, made
one of the cleverest talks that has
been heard here in long time. In
few well-chosen words he told the
members of the chamber of commerce
of the gratitude the people of Casa
Grande and the southern part of the
county felt toward "those two mining
camps, Superior and Ray, whose
wealth and energetic development had
made possible in Pinal county good
roads, good schools and all the other
advantages which counties Of the first
class now enjoy" At the banquet Mr..
Jayne did not discuss politics, but af-
forwards discussed the charges which
his opponent, Dave Little, also a can
didate for county attorney, had
brought, alleging that Mr.. Jayne had
agreed not to enter the race should
Mr.. Little become a candidate, and
relying upon such assurance, Mr.. Lit
tie did enter the race, only to have
to make the fight against Mr.. Jayne
for the republican nomination.
10 oh M
Jayne made the following statement:
Last June, Mr. Little came to me
and asked for my assurance that if
he entered the race for county attor-
ney, would I agree not to oppose him
for the nomination. This l agreed to
do. In July, however, considerable
pressure was brought upon me by the
republican voters of Pinal county to
announce myself as candidate,
which l declined to do unless Mr.. Lit
tie agreed to withdraw. About July
8th, Mr.. Little came to me in the court
house at Florence and asked me if
would reimburse him for the $3.50
which he said he had expended as a
candidate, stating that he would with
draw in my favor, providing his ex-
penses would be returned to him. Mr..
Little stated that a number of repub-
lican voters had requested him to
withdraw from the race in my favor
and stated he was perfectly willing
to do so, if no financial loss would be
incurred thereby This I agreed to
do, but shortly thereafter Mr.. Little
also imposed the condition that in the
event l should be successful and elect
ed to office, l would have to take
care as he put it, of Mr. Abbey of
Florence, and appoint Mr.. Abbey dep
uty county attorney. This l flatly re-
fused to do, and Mr.. Little thereupon
announced that he would continue the
race. | do not think Mr. Little cares
to continue this discussion further, for
although l challenged him to an open
debate more than ten days ago, he
has publicly stated that he would not
go before an audience and present his
charges, so that can reply to them"

Mr.. Jayne has lived in Casa Grande
for more than six years and has been
practicing law for more than twenty
years. He was public prosecutor in
Oregon in the seventh judicial dis
trict for six years and is generally
regarded as one of the most capable
lawyers in Arizona. Mr.. Jayne made
splendid impression here during his
visit and his supporters are predict
ing that his majority will be over
whelming in the primaries.

ENGO;s ~ .'''c'rqENT is
Seen IN SITUATION
BY COMMERCE men


Notwithstanding some recession in
business, encouragement is to be de-
rived from the growing resistance to
high prices and the manifest tendency
toward economy throughout the coun-
try, according to the market letter in
the August Commerce Monthly, pub
l.shed by the National Bank of Com
merce in New York. In so far as this
tendency applies to luxuries, to nom
essentials and to excessive consump-
tion Of necessities, they constitute a
needed corrective to the present situa-
ton, the bank declares.
Some recession in business is in
evidence as consequence of increas-
ing transportation difficulties and Of
reduction in public buying" the let
ter states. Inability to make deliv-
cries of materials because of railroad
conditions has retarded turnover and
prevented the releasing Of an enor-
nous volume of credit, thus accentu-
ating the credit stringency. The clos
ing down of plants has caused unem-
ployment and lessened buying power
in many sections. The volume of re-
tail trade has been considerably re-
duced and cancellations of orders
have been reported by some textile
mills. In the New England textile
~ ,;, cik &c, fnd
by recent wage demands of the work
ers.
While in the retail markets there
is slackened public demand and a
downward trend in prices, in the pri-
mary markets there are indications of
under-production, tending to sustain
prices. The relative strength of these
two forces is not yet clear. The out
put of iron and steel during April.
| shows to marked degree the effect
of the railroad strike. During April
but 2,740,000 gross tons of pig iron
were produced, a decrease of $4,000
from the March total. On May J., ca
pacity per day of furnaces in blast
was 89,14O gross tons as compared
with 109,585 gross tons on April 1.
Steel ingot production during April
totaled 2,63S,9O5 gross tons, a falling
off since March of $4,000 tons.
"The building movement continues
to be retarded by rail embargoes,
scarcity of money, excessive costs of
material and by labor conditions.
| can extreme shortage of farm labor
still continues, and this, in combina-
ton with very late season, has
served to delay all farm work and to
lessen acreage planted. In most Sec
tions recent weather conditions have
been more favorable for wheat grow
ing than those which prevailed during
April. Spring wheat seeding is not
| yet completed, but it is estimated that
acreage planted will tie from 10 to Is
per cent less than that of last year.
| While it is yet too early to estimate
acreage planted in corn, it is thought
that this years acreage will be rela-
/ lively large. Droughts which were de-
laying cotton planting in the south
west have been broken, and some re-
i planting will be necessary in that
region. The eastern part of the cot
ton belt has been adversely affected
| by too much rain, but better weather
of late has remedied that condition"

M'MILLAN SENDS
letter TO VOTERS

Chas. E. MacHIillih, our popular
townsman and candidate before the
democratic primaries for state seha-
tor, has issued the following letter to
his friends and voters:
MAY / ask your indulgence long
enough to call attention to my can
didacy for state senator in the COM
ing election, September 7th?
AS the time for election draws
near, you are doubtless considering
the relative merits and qualifications
of the candidates for various offices
1t is somewhat of a problem for the
voter to determine in his own mind
just whom he should support at the
polls. I wish that I might have the
privilege of talking to you in person,
but owing to the limited time between
now and election, it will be impossible
for me to make a personal call upon
all voters of the county; hence l am
taking this method of asking your
serious consideration in my behalf
Through the kindness and conf
dence of the voters of Pinal county, /
have had the privilege and honor of
representing you in the state senate
of the second state legislature, con-
scientiously, sought to do my duty
81 now feel that am much better
qualified than ever before to be of
service to my constituents. I have
served my apprenticeship, and with
the knowledge gained, the acquaint-
ances formed, and the advantages
which would be mine should you re-
elect me, are being recognized, and
appeal to you to give me the oppor
tunity to demonstrate what I can do
to further the interests of the county
of Pinal as well as the rest of the
state in general
Naturally, it is to the interest of
the voter to know something of the
person for whom he is voting; conse-
quently, will give you personal mar.
ration of my life. | was born in the
city of Morengo, Iowa, in the year
1899, and was educated in the public
schools of that city, from which 1 was
graduated, later attending and being
graduated from the, University of
Iowa, in Iowa City l later went to
Denver, where 1 met and married the
wman whom / a mproud to call my
wife and the mother of my two chill
dren. Then both of us, deciding that
there was more in store for us in the
further west, we came to Arizona, To-
eating in Ray, county of Pinal, in the
year 1911. l then emarked in the
drug business, which has been my
chosen profession ever since. On
September 5th, 1917, l enlisted in
Uncle Sans service in which I served
twenty-seven months, thirteen of
which were spent overseas in the
midst of the fighting. Being one of
those fortunate enough to return, I
am now asking for reelection.
81 appeal TO you for your support
and you may be assured that l would
always strive to keep fairness and
equity uppermost during my term of
office, if it, is your pleasure to honor
me with the nomination on September
7th.''

"HOW COME"

variations of the earth that the high
and low places might exist; so did
He, in His infinite wisdom, endow
men with various visual faculties.
This accounts for the divergence of
mems opinions regarding the same
thing; in other words, why men see
things differently. This qualification,
or lack of it, furnishes one of the prin-
cipal factors that makes baseball, our
national sport, so attractive; it is the
uncertainty of the human equation.
1t is generally conceded, however,
that when an umpire goes on the field
he will use his best judgment and rem
der impartial decisions. This is
natural corollary of his appearance.
One who does not do this should not
be chosen to act in so important a
capacity
An umpire, by duty bound, should
be in a position where he can watch
every play in his territory, as his ap-
pearance on the field is an indication
of the belief of the people in his in
tegrity, and lest this be impaired and
their confidence misplaced, he should
use discretion and exercise his best
judgment toward the men in activity
on the diamond.
1t is natural to presume chat the
general public, onlookers composed of
fans desirous of assisting their IA
vorite team to win, might be over
Jealous in their desire for victory.
Much of the time, however, fans are
not physically in position to COM
petently criticise a decision and many
do not know the rules of the game
There are times, when, to all ap-
pearances, the umpiring is unfavor
able. The general public and play
ers are universal in their allegations
that the base umpiring last Sunday
was partial. If the umpire on the
bases was impartial, then he is to be
commended and should have the sup
port of the teams and fans; if he
felt that his decisions were liable to
be prejudiced on account of partiality
to either club, then his sense of duty
to players and public alike should
have acted as a barrier to his accept
ing the position of umpire and he
should have refused the privilege ac-
corded him.

TO START WORK
SOON ON PIERS
FOR BIG BRIDGE
State Highway Commission Ad-
vertises for Bids fop Con-
StructiOn
TO HAVE TROLLEY TRACKS

Work will be started on construction
OF the four giant piers which will
support the $1,OOO,OOO vehicle bridge
over the Missouri river between Bis
mArck and Mandun within two months.
Announcement Of this was made today
following meeting of the state high
way commission at which time plans
and specifications for the work were
ordered advertised so that contracts
could be awarded.
The cost Of the four piers will be
$1S5,OOO and will be the first real
evidence of what will ultimately be-
GENE the largest vehicle bridge in
the state. The commission will adj
vcrtise for bids for this construction
for thirty days and it is expected
that the actual work on them will
start within a month after the con-
tract is awarded.
PREPARED by TURNER co.
The plans and specifications for the
bridge are those prepared by the G.
A. T.. Turner Construction Co. for the
state highway commission. They have
been approved by the United States
government engineers at Washington.
Sorndings for the sinking Of the piers
have already been made.
Acting on the recommendations OF
the federal engineers the revised plans
and specifications of the immense
bridge will provide for trolley car
tracks. The state highway commits
sion had originally planned to make
provisions for such trackagc. but did
not include the provision in the plans
sent to Washington as it did not be.
lieve the federal government would ap-
prove of this part of the proposed
plans and specifications.
The plans :hs finally approved by the
federal authorities provide for a 2s
foot roadway for vehicles flallke,I by
two foot walks four feet wide. This
is slightly broader vehicle passage
way than ariginalIy planned and will
permit two vehicles going in the same
direction passing each other.
