PROSPEROUS SECTION OF THE
 CITY

The western portion of Kinelnan has had very prosperous season this year; a dozen or more new buildings being erected and many improvements in the way of tree planting being in progress. Especially is this true of that portion known as the Metcalfe Addition.
 w. O. Burrows has recently built a five room bungalow which his family occupies. While this structure is a frame one it is the intention of MT. Burrows to complete it with veneer of concrete brick, style of architec- ture much in vogue in the south.
 D. E. Croy is improving his lots on Grand View Avenue, having recently finished small concrete house in the rear which he will occupy while com pleting a seven-room residence.
 Earl B. Joder is also occupying a small concrete house while working on larger dwelling. After this is com pleted the smaller house will be used for laundry, etc.
 Chas. S. Johnson has a bungalow under construction that for beauty and comfort will be hard to surpass.
 Jack Wilson has nearly completed neat bungalow which will be oc- cupied by his son John and bride, nee Eileen Burns. The lots recently pur- chased are on a corner opposite the Wilson residence.
 Tom McNeely who recently sold his home in the Terrace Addition has moved small house on land he owns adjoining the Metcalfe Addition. He will sink we'll and make other inn ,provements. a....
 Nat Van de Verg received a mes sage that his family who are now re- siding in Los Angeles are preparing to come to Kingman to spend the sum- mer with him. The scarcity of hous- es for rent decided MT. Van de Verg to buy a lot and erect temporary home for them.
 The walls of the $6s,0O0 County Hospital are rising rapidly. When the sewer connections are made it is planned to extend the service to all the Metcalfe Addition which will be a great aid in proper sanitation.
 Ed. Gillispie is erecting a four room concrete block house on First St. near the High School. James Dundon is also completing concrete block residence on the corner of First and Oak Sts.

PREPARING FOR DEvEL-
 OPMENT CAMPAIGN ON THE SCHUYLKILL MINE

M. J. Riley is over at the Tennessee mine getting things shaped up for a further development campaign on that property, as we'll as on the Schuykill. The Tennessee was one of the largest producers of lead and zinc ore in the state a few years ago and has thous- ands of tons of high grade mill ore blocked out. This ore also carries good values in gold and silver. It is to be hoped that financial matters may be shaped up so that operations will be resumed early in the fall.

McFATES GO TO COURT

J. M. McFate, rather we'll known in Kingman, is being sued for divorce by his wife, Florence McFate, in the sueprior court of Maricopa county. She alleges in her complaint that the couple intermarried in Morenci in 1897; that four children were born to them, two of whom are minors. She also alleges that MT. McFate is worth the sum of $10O,O0O. This property consists of four lots in Kingman, one lot in Phoenix and valuable mining property and stock in Lower Califor- mia. The demand of the plaintiff is for one-half the property, alleging that it is community interests, $1,000 attorney fees, $500 to defray costs of suit and $100 temporary alimony.

ture, "Out of the Shows" which
comes to the Idle Hour today, ne
was confroted with the difficulty OF
obtaining a correct uniform for the
part. AS a member of the North
west Mounted Police he needed
special uniform, and for the sake OF
the picture it had to be true dupli
cate of the uniforms wora by the
members of the mounted POLICE.
From Thomas McGrand, who was
corporal in the R. N. W. N. P.
during the rebellion of 49, in Cana
la, and from Colonel VIM. Donald
son, official with the Canadian North
west Pacific, he obtained some pho
tographs of the Uniform, ana the two
men described the coloring to him.
Mr.. Ince had the costume compile
ted and submitted it to these two
gentlemen for insr ection. After close
examination they both said they be-
,ieved he could pass without difficulty

City Government in Virginia

The following cities have
adopted the city manager
plan in Virginia: Black
Stone, Bristol, Hampton,

Norfolk, Petersburg, Ports
mouth, Radford, I, Roanoke
Staunton, and Suffolk " {
hope that Alexandria will be
included in: the list before
the snow flies again!
!! Our own: state OF Viz,
;ginia, our sister city OF
.Staunton, will 60 down IN
history as the birthplace Of
the city manager plan OF
municipal government. In
1908 the mayor ana city
council Of Staunton, hecom7
ing disguised over. the mel
ficiency Of government by
council committees, hired
Mr.. C. +. Ashburner, and
passed an ordinance delegat-
ing to him all administrative
detail and responsibility
giving him the title Of gen
eral manager" He made
Isgood and the city became
famous for its novel plan OF
.municipal administration,
Since that time, however,
Staunton has changed from
it's make-shift ordinance ar
arrangement to the present
well-knOWn city manager
plan.
In 1920, Dubuque, Iowa

facturer and a physician,

iswould not become silk-shirt-
led job-holders at the City
Hall, but would remain
working men among their
fellows; since members OF
the council give only the
time needed for weekly
meetings, and continue IN

This same fact was an IN
ducement to the banker, the
1umberman, the manufact-

serve likewise. The coun-
ell hired as its city manager
the former expert manager
of Springfield, Ohio, who

many problemS-the selection of {
route, the difficulties of sanitation. the
decision between sea-level and
lock canal, the type of lock canal,
whether to let the work by contract
or to construct with forces in govern
ment enAploy. and a thousand minor
questions of administrative and engi-
neering detail. All of these problems
were of a nature to provoke great
variety of opinion and in some cases
obstinate controversy.
Criticism Of the methods adopted and
predictions of failure filled the public
press during all but the last years of
the construction period. Neverthe-
less, from the time the United States
took over the property of the French
company in 1904 the work progressed
steadily and without interruption un-
til it's successful completion ten years
later. Each problem was solved as it
arose. and Of all the critics who at
the time were so loud in their dis
sent none is new heard to question
the wisdom of those solutions. Criti-
cism has been refuted by the event.
The canal has been built and it's sue
cess is unqualified. 1t was completed
within the final estimates of 1908 and
at the time originally contemplated.
v Before Che war accustomed people
to think lightly of billions The cost
was considered enormous; but it was
realized then. and perhaps even more
clearly now, that the work had been
done both honestly and economically.
The task and it's execution constitute
an achievement of which the nation
has every reason to be proud. The
