BRAZIL. Mccain and J. Walker were
down here last March but did not

DOWN TOWN STARTS
 BY SEPT. 1ST
City Manager and Art Davis Fix That Date as Probable Time for Beginning 11-Block Improvement

Paving of the downtown district of Prescott, comprising all of the more important business streets, will be under way by the first day of September.
 This is the promise made jointly by City Manager John Robinson and Councilman Art Davis, who said that from now on they would conduct themselves on the theory that cement must be in process of spreading by that date or they would be forsworn.
 The district is now being equipped with the new cast iron water piping, replacing smaller water mains that have stood the test of time and done it badly. The first work is being done on West Gurley street, where a city crew has been trenching in preparation for laying the S-inch main that will supply the entire west side.
 Estimates and other preliminaries to q call for paving bids are being made ready so that within a short time the contractors will be able to land the work and begin shipping in their machinery and supplies. It is not known how long it will require to pave the eleven blocks involved in the downtown district, but it is considered probable that before there is snow, the town will be rigged up city-wise in this respect.

WET DOESN' I
 STOP W. '. DAM
One of County's Active. Spots Is Sullivan Damsite, Where Dirt Is Being Piled Higher Every Day on Great Dam

An encouraging spell of rain has not done anything to stop the hurl- ing of dirt on the embankment of the Williamson valley dam. Sunday afternoon inspection of the project proved that the Sullivan damsite is just about the busiest place in the county just now.
 General Manager Art Davis of the Williamson Valley Farms company gazed out over the wide and fertile valley and wished that the dam had been built two years ago.
 "Tnstead of scrimping along as they are doing now" he unused, "a lot of our cattlemen would be get ting in big checks for trainloads of fat cattle We would be feeding al falfa right now, and conditions would be much different from what they have been as a result of the drouth. y
 In spite of the long rainless and snowless spell the Williamson valley wash continues to flow a good head of water.
 The long earthwork dam, extend ing from the abutment of the con crete structure to the point where the natural spillway will be located, is growing in height every day. Camp conditions are good and the work is progressing well. The promise of an active construction season, made at the outset by Davis is being fulfilled with continual progress toward com pletion of the impending system that will irrigate l5,000 acres of fine level bottom land.

POWERS HAVE ALREADY SAID THEY AGREED
 ON PRINCIPLE
Associated Press Night wire)

WASHINGTON, D. C., July H. The suggestion of President Hard ing looking to a disarmament con- ference in Washington was expected by officials here today to meet a ready response from the powers con- cerned. Their attitude toward such a, proposal, it was said, was sounded in advance through American en- bassies. Pending to confirm this belief, in the opinion of officials, was the statement of Premier Lloyd George in the house of commons to- day welcoming the initiative of Pres ident Harding in the matter.
 It is understood that the powers were sounded also on the question of the far east and whether a dis cussion of this problem would be proper in connection with T consid- eration of disarmament. As a re- suit, the impression obtained that the far eastern problem will be prom inently considered.
 The details O Organization of the conference will be left until the pow CTS formally accept. -..-..-
 Before the conference actually meets, there may be some definition of the subject to be considered, how ever, and an understanding given of what the powers consider their special interest, it was said today.
 No date for the gathering has been set nor has the American representa- ton to the conference been determin- ed It is believed that Secretary Hughes may head the American delegation.
