VICTORY SEEN FUR SHIPPERS
 IN DECISION

PHOENIX, March 24-A big vic tory for Arizona shippers is herald ed ill telegram received by the at torney general today from George Hill, assistant attorney general, and Will L. Ryan, special counsel for the state. The wire is to the effect that the federal court at Los Angeles has rendered an opinion, upholding the Arizona corporation commission ill its stand that for rate making pur- poses the Arizona Eastern railway and the Southern Pacific company should be considered as one line il- stead of two. The decision repre- sents a saving to the shippers which Is estimated at close to $60,O00.
 In 1913, the Arizona corporation commission issued a ruling prohibit ing the roads from making all arbi- trary transfer charge at transfer points. Through first one tactic and then another the railroads were able to cvade this order until the govern ment took over the roads during the war, and permitted the charge to Dc made.
 When the roads were turned back to private control, the commission renewed its order, and 'thc matter was then taken into the federal courts with the action noted above, It is possible that an appeal will be taken to the United States supreme court, though notice of appeal has not as yet been received.

 Grant claims to have suffered se- we're injuries in an accident arising through no fault of his own while in the course of his employment in the company's mine at Jerome. The accident occurred June 26, 1919. Working on a stope 34 feet above the 165-foot level of the mine, Grant claims to have entered a cage used to ascend and descend the shaft, and to have given the signal to lower, Through negligence of the servants and agents of the defendant com Ipany, in the person of the hoist en- gineer, the sage was allowed to drop with severe force and violence the 165-foot level of the mine from the stopc 34 feet above it, it is alleged.

These, he alleges, consist in the breaking and crushing of the bones m both his left and right feet and ankles, and the break ing of bones in his back and spine. He claims the accident and its re- sultant injuries to his person will effectually prevent him from further pursuance of his profession, and ask ed $40,O00 damages and costs.

Mountain Scenery and Climate

 Growing Year-Around Attrac- tion to Visitors and Tourists
(From Tuesdays Daily)

With its delightful year-round climate, Prescott is gradually be- coming known throughout the country as one of the best spots i'll America for those seeking climate where they can enjoy health and comfort the year round.
 Without much pomp or ceremony the Mile High city is taking it's place with the ranking resorts of America. Outdoor life which is a pleasure the year round can be en- joyed at its best in Prescott. Sel- dom does a day pass but what golf ing, horseback riding, automobiling, tennis and all outdoor sports can be enjoyed. This means not for few days but for the entire 365.
 The glorious mountain scenery, coupled with the sunrise and sun set, which can be found only in a mountain country, holds the native, let alone the visitor, enchanted.
 Golf has taken a firm hold in Prescott and the course of the Has sayampa daily attracts golfers. As business investment the club is one that Prescott may well be proud of for there is not a nine-hole golf course in the southwest that is its equal, either for sporty play or for the picturesque setting of the course.
 The club house, built in rustic fashion to conform with the general features of the links, brings forth praise. From the porch plays can be watched on several holes. The interior of the club house is artistic in every sense of the word, and the fact that it can be rented by mem bers for private parties adds to the joy, of the club.
 Every citizen of Prescott should make it point to call the attention of visitors to the Hassayampa. Card: for visitors can be obtained from members or officers of the club.

WITH NJ ACTION REACHED, BOARD STILL HAS HOPE
Condition of Market Gives Prom ise of Sale of Yavapai Million and Half Highway Bond Is- use Soon, Supervisors Say
. (From Fridays Dailvl

With daily meetings ill conference with representatives of two organiza- tions submitting bids for the Yava- -pai county million and half dollar highway bond issue, no agreement has yet been reached by the board .of supervisors, 1t was learned yester- day. The board is sure of one thing, however, and that is that no offer netting the county less than 97 per cent will be accepted.
 Though discussion of the matter has been going on for some time, with no definite action reached, it is the feeling of members of the board that the bonds can soon be disposed of at reasonable figure. This feel ing is based on the movement of the bond market. The market has been fluctuating, and several heavy issues have been floated recently.
 Two sales of 8 per cent bonds were closed recently, a big block of Republic of Chile bonds having been floated ill New York between 97 and 98, and the tax bonds, however, have an advantage of the Yavapai county issue, ill that in addition to bearing 8 per cent interest, they run for only a short term. The Yavapai bonds bear 6 per cent.
 The board is hopeful of making a deal in time to take advantage of the spring weather for road building

LAD HAS CLOSE
 GALL IN WHITE
 MULE TIPPLING

What Undersheriff Ed Bowers and Dr. H. T. Southworth described as a close call for life, occurred Sunday night when a lad of eight years was brought into the sheriff's office by Deputy Jim Cook, who
 QFrom Wednesdays Daily)
 picked the lad upon the street when he found him ill the act of emptying a quart bottle of white mule. When taken from the boy, the bottle was found to contain less than one-third of its original contents. The little prisoner also had a small two-ounce phial of the liquor.
 Endowed by the large quantity of white mule he had drunk, with all astonishing command of profanity, the lad opened up on his captors when brought in to the shcriff's of flee and questioned by Undcrsheriff Ed Bowers. His proficiency in un- savory words amazed his hearers. In d few minutes, however, he col lapsed.
 Called immediately to the court house, Dr. H. T. Southworth admin istered rcstoratives and medicine to rid the boys stomach of the liquor. It was at first feared that the little prisoners life was done for. After d time, however, he was revived from his stupor and taken home.
 The first words of the boy upon regaining consciousness were: Never again!' I'll never get drunk again, " he declared. Questioning revealed that the liquor, which the boy at first professed to have found i'll an alley, came from a cupboard at home.
 Undersheriff Bowers stated yester- day that the arrest of the little tippler was not matter of law and order Tt was matter of preserv- ing life" he said. And our pris- oner had closer call than I'd care to have, before we sent him home It is thoroughly unlikely that the boy will repeat his experiment with liquors that kick"

TUCSON, March 2--The path way of the bootlegger is strewn with snares and pitfalls and he is sus- picious alike of friend and foe.
 Out on the Nogales road near Continental a construction camp has been established by County Engineer Lefebvre, the men from which are now rebuilding a particularly dan gerous crossing that spans an ar royo.
 As grading is ill progress at this point, it is necessary that vehicles turn out of the road in order that a crossing be negotiated.
 To avoid accident and to warn night drivers of the change of route, a lookout has been stationed a short distance from the arroyo with a lan- tern. It is his duty to flag down drivers and direct them to the tenn porary road.
 The other night the lights of a small car were seen approaching, and the lookout, stepping into the road, swung his lantern as a signal to slow down.
 The car came to an abrupt stop, but its driver went into immediate action. His heels alone were visible to the amazed lookout as he dived into the tonneau of the car. When he again appeared he held aloft in each hand a gallon jug. These, one after
