 STILL EN ROUTE; ARRESTED
(From Thursdays Daily)

When the Ford autOmibile bearing Arizona license plate No. 50992 pull ed up at the curb on North Cortez street yesterday afternoon, Under sheriff Ed Bowers approached An tonic de Bardeleben, its driver an" claimant. and intimated that he would admire for to see what the rear end contained.
 Not waiting for any objections from the owner. Bowers inspected the tonneau, which was enclosed in the storm curtains, and there. under some saclling, he turned to the light of day as shiny a copper still as one could wish to see That it had been used for some purpose or other, was testified to by the odor which the undersheriff declared came from the still. It was an odOr as of jags and joys-a penetrating smell re- minding one of breweries and distil- lerics and the dank basemcnts of bar-rooms.
 Bardcleben was taken to the coun- ty jail and given board and room pending the filing of q charge of having a whiskey still unlawfully in his possession.
 q was going to Pohcnix with it." Bardclcben said He must have heard that there was great crowds at- tending the state fair. but could not have heard. as some in Prescott have. that Canadian Club in quart bottles is the prevailing tipple there at this time

DANCE RULE IS BASIS
 OF SOME DISCUSSION
(From Thursdays Daily)

(From Thursdays Daily)
 Are the directors of the Yavapai club fossils?
 Devotees of dancing in the organ ization yesterday took steps to find out whether or not the club coulG afford to give frequent informas dances during the winter season, and thereby precipitated a discussion lover the recent action of the board in "censoring" the program sub mittee for twice a month informal dances and formal dinner dances to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christ mas.
 The decision of the board was to limit the function to two formal al fairs. Many of the younger set Go not go wild over the dress suit af- fairs (whispcr, most of them do not possess the regalia) and they have circulated petition calling d special meeting of the membership to decide which program is to be adhered to.
 The petition opens up a discussion of many phases of the dance GUS toms of the Yavapai club. Attend ance has dropped badly during the late summer on account of the fact that many of those attending have become mildly and gently peeved at the insistence of a portion of the crowd on using homemade pro grams There has been no official action to discourage the custom, nor to limit the number of extra men who have been dropping in. The strict informality of the affairs, is said by some of the dancing set, to have been the chief charm, and now that the dances have been more or less robbed of this, they do not attend any more.
 Action of the directors limiting the number of dances is said to be due in part to the fact that the af- iairs have been run at a loss during the year. A suggestion was made that the expenses of the music, lights etc, be prorated and that the weekly events be kept on, but this met with disfavor from those who held that on stormy evenings few would attend believing that they would be stuck
 Attempts to cut down the cost also have met with opposition. The pur- veyors of the music hold out for six pieces in the orchestra, this costing the club $35 a night Some members insist that four pieces give just as good jazz and should cost materially less.
 The entertainment committee con sists of Norman Hoffman, chairman, Gary Vyne and Lester Ruffner, who are inclined to let the younger set and the directors fight it out before the club and decide on the future course of action.

APPROACHES TO COURT
 HOUSE NEARLY FINISHED
(From Fridays Daily)


 A few days more of work on the concrete approaches to the court house and Yavapai county will be ready to go out of the sidewalk busi- ness. The cessation of cement mix ing and pouring will be move in which Superintendent Arnold Cruick- shank, Gardener George HarbeSon and all hands will heartily concur.
 The new concrete mixer, relic of the late war with Germany, but new, withal, is working fine, but its ca pacity is only 50 yards a day, ac- cording to Cruicksl{ank. The old mixer borrowed for the purpose, did more work, but gave a great deal of trouble.
 Many thousand feet of cement side walk have been added to the plaza work. Prices submitted by contract DTS are said 10 have been bettered by Superintendent Cruickshank with his own force of men and the County's fools.

NEATLY DONE IS WATER
 PIPING BY NEW METHOD
(From Thursdays Daily)

Making new water connections on a street main is not the complicatcG job one might expect. The connect ton can now be made without the loss of a drop of water Or moment service.
 Machinery now provided for water companies enables their wOrkmen to ''cut in" new customers with but fraction of the time, trduble and effort that fl used to take, and this machinery will be used in connect ing up Prescott's new water supply syscm.
 Charles Shaw, manager of the wa ter department. yesterday inspected cast-iron mains on South Pleasant street, where new service pipes will soon be laid ready for the coming of pavement Cor the millenium). He says that the department uses a ma chine that its over the main pipe. cncloscs the part on which the work is 10 be done, cuts 2 hole, taps threads in it and screws in a valve. When the machine gets its job done, the men take it off, connect a pipe with the valve and the operation is finished
 Cast iron pipe, immune from rust and strongly rcsIstcnt to elcctrolysis is used for the new water system of Prescott and unless outgrown, can remain in practical service for 800 years, according Shaw. There are records of this kind of pipe in good condition after that long service.
 The joints are put together with lead and oalum In the event the lines are outgrown and it is neccs- sary 10 replace them, nothing will he lost except the oalum, &hich amounts to about IS cents a joint. The pipe can be dug up and used oyer again, and the lead fittings can be melted and also put 10 use.
 New water pipes for the streets of Prescott will have carrying ca pacity of from twice 10 three or four times the old ones.

SCENIC HIGHWAY TO S. F.
 PEAKS NOW UNDER WAY
(From Fridays Daily)


 J.. w. Weatherford, pioneer resi- dent of Flagstaff and builder of the Weathecrford hotel in that city who is at present a visitor in Prescott, yesterday made known the details of plans for the construction of a toll road now building to the top of San Francisco peaks, project calculated to rival the famous Pike's Peak roac in Colorado, and to bring thousands of tourists yearly to Flagstaff.
 Weatherford is the organizer and motive force of the San Francisco Mountain Scenic Boulevard com pany which has immense scenic pro jccts under way Work on the road from Flagstaff to the highest point of the famous peaks begun several years ago and, interrupted by the war, is now being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, in order that an other great scenic attraction may be added to the already large number of al1uring tours in the state.
 The San Francisco scenic road, ex- tending from the toll gate located three and one-half miles from Flag staff to the top of the San Francisco peaks. will circle famous scenic mountains until at the top it attaius height of 14,000 feet, and affords a magnificent view into seven states, uuequalled anywhere in the country. Tourists making the trip over the completed road, a 50-year franchise for which has been obtained from the United States government, will be able to look into Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Ne vada and Old Mexico. The Painted Desert, famed as one of Arizona's s greatest scenic attractions, will also provide a picturesque point for the observer pcrched at the top of the new toll road
 The new road, Weatherford said last night, will be completed as far as the Saddle by next July, when it will be opened for traffic to this point, from which a splendid view is also obtainablc. In another year, the remainder of the road will he finished, allowing for traffic to 'hc summit, according to the original plans.
 An idea of the vast number of tour ists who will be brought to Arizona by the new scenic boulevard may be gained when it is realized that dur ing the past year over 80,000 people came into the state from cast to visit the Grand Canyon. Thousand of these tourists, coming into the state yearly, will make the trip to the San Francisco peaks in order to avail themselves of the remarkable scenic beauties it affords.
 It is expected that many tourists will make the trip to Flagstaff by way of Prescott. The new state highway under construction from Prescott to Flagstaff by way of Je- rome and Oak Creek, will attract many tourists to this city on their way 10 visit the San Francisco peaks.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA
BY GLENDIVE BOYS
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

ABOUT two years ago Miss Lucille
dennager, principal of the LongfelIow
school in Glendive, started chiIdreus
orchestra with neven members. Since
then the orchestra has grown to 80
members, the ages ranging from 6 to
Is years. A boys band of 40 instru.
ments has been an outgrowth of the
first organization. In order to accom-
odate other boys musically inclined
the band boys are training a drum
corps
Miss Hennegars methods have been
both unique and effective. She trained
small number of leaders who in
turn train other applicants who are
on the waiting list until they reach a
certain degree of proficiency. 1t occas-
lonally happens that seven or eight
year-old musician has for a pupil one
VINO is two or three years his senior.
There is no question of attendance or
dlscipline at orchestra or band prac-
t1ce. The older bows relieve the leader
OF all responsibility along these lines.
This youthful musical organization
mas earned in the last year and a half
$1,000. The organization owns $4,000
In instruments. The Eastern Montana
Fair association has engaged the boys
band to play at the fair to be held in
Glendive this fall.-Ex.

Horse CREEK BRIDGE
:. NOW BEING USED

=
Il The bridge across Horse Creek on
the Richey road was completed a short
time ago. also the grading to the ap-
proaches, and the bridge is now being
used
This is certainly a big Improvement
on this road as the former crossing on
Horse Greek was a bad one, especially
in the spring and winter time.
The bridge was one formerly located
on Lost Creek and moved here and the
work was done by j. N. Madison who
done good job of it. 1t might also be
of interest to mention that when COM
missioner Kirchner let the contract for
moving this bridge he saved the coun-
ty between $500 and 5000, Glendive
firm wanting that much more for do
ing the work then was finally paid by
being able to make arrangements with
Mr.. Madison and having him doing it.
