FRONTIER LETTERS
 FOR MEN AY|''.POST
From Saturdays Dailyl

Through the courtesy Of Colonel Robert H. Stanley every patient at Whipple Barracks yesterday was presented with a letterhead and en- velope of the Prescott Frontier days. This may not sound much but when the number is considered 1t goes a long way. That the stationery, with its artistic lettering and better still the bucking bronc, made a decided hit was proven by the wild scramble which ensued when M. Corcoran, to whom had been delegated the job Of distributing the stationery, appeared at the chamber of commerce office with cries for endorsements.
 Practically every patient ill using the stationery to write his folks a letter and ask them to visit him during the celebration. Incidentally there are some 600 folks who will hear about Frontier days who per haps didn't know these contests eX- isted.

STONEAAN ROAD IS IN GOOD SHAPE ON
 YAVAPAI'S GROUND
Road to Stoneman's Lake is a High Gear Thoroughfare, Says w.
 w. Midgley Here
(From Thursdays Daily)

The road to Stoneman's lake is a high-gear thoroughfare all the way, and can be done via Jerome in five hours, according to Chairman w. w. Midgley of the board of supervisors, who was in the city yesterday to at tend a meeting of the board of equalization.
 Yavapai county has fixed ib share of that road so that nothing need deter sportsmen from making flying visits to the great fishing resort, he said. Three hours to Camp Verde and two more to the lake, is pos sible schedule for fair drivers. A de- cided increase ill travel over the route is expected.
 Coconino county, pursuing dif- ferent road policy and being, it is suspected, a little shorter of road funds even than Yavapai, has done little for its end of the road, but the last few miles are not so bad that they spoil the trip.

RESUMPTION OF ITS
 ACTIVITY BY U.V.X. AND UNITED VERDE
Report Current of Million and Half Dollar Ore Crushing Plant
 at United Verde
From Thursdays Dailvl

Reports were unconfirmed here yesterday that the United Verde Ex- tension smelter at Clemenceau would increase its activity beginning July 1. On what basis the resumption of more active operations would be made could not be learned.
 There was also a report that opera tions on the new million and half dollar ore crushing plant at the United Verde smelter at Clarkdale, would be started within a compar- atively short time. This work would give employment to large crew of workmen and would offset somewhat the dullness occasioned by suspen- sion completely of smelling opera tions.
 Business ill the mining district of the Verde is of course "shot" badly, but according to businessmen com- ing from that section, fundamentally things are not so bad. A great many families remain in the district despite lax business conditions.

CATTLE EAT DESERT
 PLANTS 'DETHORNED'

GLOBE, June 3.-Poor range COIL ditions due to continued dry weather have forced at least one rancher ill this vicinity to feed his cattle cactus, saguaro and other desert plants after burning off their thorns.
 Pollard Pearson, who has cattle in the Mescal range. 40 miles south of Globe, recently came in for sup ply of gasoline, to be used in burn ing the thorns from the plants. He said his cattle were suffering f1om lack of feed and that, though the cactus and similar plants would not fatten the animals it would give them strength to withstand the drought while the owners prayed for rain.
 Pearson, who is an old-timc cattle man, has little use for automobiles. He made the long trip into Globe on horseback and brought along pack animals to carry the gasoline back to his ranch.

 UNDECIDED LIN
 SUIT ACTION
Believe Case Should Be Thresh- ed Out Quickly, So That Pre- cedent May Be Established for Appointing of Deputies

The board Of supervIsors has not made up its mind on a course of move of Warren c. Davis to carry action of Warren c. Davis to carry the disputed deputies salaries into court, it was learned at the office of the board yesterday. There is an in dication that outside counsel may have to be employed inasmuch as the county attorneys office is said to have leaned to the opinion the ap- pointment of deputies is in the hands of the sheriff.
 "We have not considered the mat ter yet" one member of the board stated. The sheriff, acting as pri- vate citizen and assignee of the claims of Deputy Sheriffs Ernest Childers and William R. Hughes, filed suit day before yesterday to re- cover from the board The suit is an outgrowth of the contested "econ- omy program" of the two offices, the board contending for reduction in the deputy force and the sheriff's office holding out against reduction in numbers.
 Clerk R. E. Donovan expressed the belief of the board that the case should be threshed out as soon as possible "whivhever way it is de cidcd" in order that precedent may be established and prevent any other elective officers from running wild" No other office ill the court house, he added, has contested the policy of the board except that of the sher- if. New laws, he asserted, impose greater work on three offices, chiefly these being the board, assessor and treasurer, yet no increase has been made in the forces of those depart ments.

BAD BEES GET IN CONTEMPT
 JUDGE SANES

BISBEE, June 3.-Judge Albert M. Sames of the superior court, regrets that his authority as d jurist will not permit him to issue an injunction against the activities of bees on a public highway.
 Several days ago Judge Sames was driving from Tombstone to Bisbee to transact some court business. Twenty miles out of Tombstone the judges car ran into swarm of bees.
 Give her the gas!" shouted the judge. The chauffeur did, but the bees refused to be left behind. De- termined to stop the car, hundreds of bees climbed into the air holes of the radiator, prevented the circu- lation of air and caused the motor to overheat.
 The judge and other passengers were coppelled to alight, cover their faces with coats and hats and al most fight each bee "single-handed." !" There were no casualties, however.
 "The rankest kind of contempt of court" smiled the judge, when the last bee had been persuaded to fly to another part of the desert. But who wants to have d swarm of bees brought into court on bench war rant?"

crew now engaged in that work will start on the road branching off to the northwest at Rattlesnake. This road enters the Jerome-Sedona-Flag- staff highway at Munds park, well over the line in Coconino county. Though only a few miles lie in Yav- apai, the board of supervisors of Coconino county has agreed to repair its share of the road at once.
 Middle Verde Road
 With the completion of work on the road from Prescott to Whipple Barracks, Road Superintendent J. H. York and his crew will return today or early next week to the Verde section, under general instruction to repair the roads of that part of the county, it was learned here yester- day. The principal task of the road crew will be to put the road from the Middle Verde up to Cornville in- to shape at once.
 Repair of this road will make it possible for residents of the Middle Verde section to travel to the Verde district towns without going by way of Camp Verde.
 Lack of a bridge over the Verde river at Middle Verde causes travel CTS going from Middle Verde to Je- rome, Cottonwood, Clarkdale or Clemenceau to go around by way of the Camp Verde bridge. It is pos sible for wagons to cross the Verde at the mouth of Oak Creek, but the water is too deep for cars.
