Ancient Wooden Bridge Goes Out; East Gurley
From Saturdays Doily)

Travellers to Whipple Barracks or other points east of the city by way of the East Gurlcy street route will soon be relieved of an old and .un- slightly wooden bridge, according to City Manager John H. Robinson.
 For some time, city crews have been engaged in the construction of a large culvert to take care of waters flowing through a wash from the hills south of the city, and crossing East Gurley and East Willis streets The culvert has been completed, and the city is filling in above it. The old bridge will be torn out as soon as the filling is done.
 The culvert is 100 feet long, five feet high and six feet wide, amply large enough to take care of all waters flowing through it during the wet season. It duplicates a similar culvcrt carrying the waters of this wash under East Willis.

|S BEST FUR KIDS, THE
 STATE POLICY
Some Data on State Welfare Board Which Is of Help to Mothers and Children; Econ omy Without Con
tJournal-Miner Capital Bureau

PHOENIX, Sept. 16.-The state
 child welfare law, passed by the last legislature in response to the senti-
 ment and demand that Arizona
 should take care of its dependent children in a manner which will in-
 sure future good citizens through
 home instead of institutional raising, is now in full operation throughout
 Arizona, except in the counties of
 Apache, Coconino, Santa Cruz and
 Yuma, where local boards have not as yet, but will soon be, organized.
 At a meeting held this week, the state board received 30 applications
 for relief. Cochise presented a list of IA widows. who had received aid under the widows pension law Gila and Graham asked relief for widows with small children. Maricopa want ed aid for one defective child, one neglected child and two widows with dependent children.
 The report of the secretary, Mrs. H. A. Guild, showed that she has visited the counties of Pima, Santa Cruz, Cochise, Pinal, Graham, Green lee and Gila, and in consultation with superior judges, probation and in digent officers, county school super Red Cross leaders and local boards, and had gathered in formation from these sources regard ing the condition surrounding de pendent children in those localities. One interesting fact brought out was, that last year, Cochise county alone, expended $15,0OO for the relief of widows with dependent children, just one-half of the entire amount by the state to meet this problem.

STATE REGISTRATION
 BOARD BEGINS WORK

The state board of registration for architects, professional engineers land surveyors and assayers, created by the last legislature, has announced that it is prepared to receive and act upon applications for registration. Application blanks and copies of the act creating the board may be ob- tained from the secretary, room 7, city hall, Phoenix.
 The registration act does not apply to stationary or railroad engineers, but members of the other professions or vacations covered by the act who wish to retain the confidence of the public will doubtless seek registra- tion. No written or oral examination is required unless the applicants rec ord or credentials are inadequate or unsatisfactory.

MAKES AUDIT IF BOOkS
State Examiner Here to Look Over Yavapai Accounts; Re ceives Call From U. V. x. Au- ditor Who Inspects Records
(From Fridays Dailvl

The regular yearly eXamnation of the books of Yavapai county was be- gun by State Examiner Hugh Morri- son yesterday. MT. Morrison arrived from Kingman, where he had made his audit of the Mohave county books, looked over the, Katherine mining district and decided that if everything claimed for it is true, Cripple Creek Klondike and Tono- pah will recede to an insignificant place in the history of gold mining.
 The work of checking over the books of the county officers is con ducted both in the offices and in the vaults of the board of supervisors, where checks of the records are al ways kept filed.
 While engaged in preparing his survey, MT. Morrison received as a caller H. T. Cuthbert, accountant, who came from Phoenix to examine the books of the United Verde EX- tension and who was put to work looking up matters in relation to tax ation.

fore this is done and until word is received from Washington, the state cannot turn a spadeful of dirt. Meanwhile, however, Hiscox's splen- did organization may be used on the surfacing job across Lonesome val ley. This may occupy two months. Thirty trucks, a steam shovel and a gravel pit that has already been strip ped, will make it comparatively easy to put an eight-inch capping on the worst mud stretch now remaining on the shortline road, and thus com plete the section up to the foot of Yaeger canyon.
 The thirty trucks, Hiscox esti- mates, will be able by working from two ends, to surface four miles a month. Traffic would not have to be detoured for this job.

TWO EXPERTS IN
 SMOKE HEARING
eFrom Saturdays Dany1

Tom Crawford came back to the jury box and Judge Sweeney yester- day resumed hearings on the smoke case, with two defense experts on the stand during the day. They were
 w. w. Jones, formerly of the Selby commission, and T. J. Mcdonald of Knoxville, Tenn, once arbitrator for the state of Georgia in smoke cases.
 The testimony of Jones was con cluded from Tuesday when the case was recessed on account of the ill., ness of MT. Crawford. There will be a half holiday today.
 There were a number of possible pest or disease causes of crop dam age on the Biles-Wells farm, accord ing to the experts.
 . The subject of compensation of witnesses of the so-called expert class, was brought up in connection with the Jones testimony. The plaintiff sought to draw from the witness the facts surrounding his hire by the defendant and Jones was al- lowed to go into the subject but not very far. He declared that although employed by a corporation to look up smoke cases, he was given a sort of rowing commission to chase down facts and did not presume to go be- yond what appeared to him to be the real facts in connection with the case.
 MT. Mcdonald is a smoke and plant expert who has been connect ed with cases similar to that at bar for number of years. At the time the metal industry and the farmers of Georgia were warning over claims, the state named him as a sort of tribunal to arbitrate cases. In dis tricts where smoke cases have been fought out over a period of years, ar is said to have become the saving considerable in costs after courts have clearly defined the lights of the parties.

PLUNKETT HAS EYE 0N CHAIR
 AT THE CAPITOL
Phoenix Mayors Candidacy for Governor on Democratic Tick ct May Come if Prospects Should Brighten
tJournal-Miner Capital Bureau)

OOuiHdi-o1lner capital Bureau)
 | PHOENIX, Sept. 16.-Introducing
 MT. w. H. Plunkett, at present mayor Iof Phoenix and probable democratic laspirant for the nomination for gov
 ernor in the primaries next Septem-
 Der.
 l While there is a plethora of tenta-
 tive candidates for the republican Fnonination for the same office, the democrats are having troubles of their
 own these days. Not long since it
 was decided by the party leaders to
 forget their differences and unite on
 G. w. P. Hunt, figuring that he was lthe strongest man in their ranks and
 would provide the most formidable opposition, possible to muster, against anyone the c. O. P. would trot out. But backroom conferences do not all ways settle such matters, as under the primary system 1t is free field, and no entry in any political race can be barred. Therefore, MT. Plunkett has the idea milling around in the open spaces of his brain that as long as he has made good in the high and exalted office of mayor of Phoenix, that there is no good reason why he should not occupy the leather-cush- toned chair in the state house. Ne formal announcement has yet been made but doubtless it will be forth coming in due time in event the out look brightens to any perceptible de- gree.
 In the meantime the medicine-mak- CTS are going forward with their plans for the launcing of the Hunt George has grown tired of his job as minister to Siam and has indicated his longing to return to Arizona and again become the stormy petrel of its politics. He is now busily engaged in writing letters to all the people whose names he can remem- Der and favoring them with a set of chop-sticks. ! The significance of the chop-sticks cannot be figured out by the wise ones, but they are agreed that there is some deep meaning at tached to them, which will later de- velop. When the official release from Siam comes for which he is daily up incense to the god in that part of democracy which IS rallying to his standard will start their preparations for the mon- ster welcome which will signify his advent here. Such old-tirne loyal sup porters as Homer Wood of Prescott are working out the details, assisted by many former conservatives, who desire to get behind and push, but who do not care for patent reasons, to get in the band wagon where they Ire i'll full view of the multitude.

Still Going South

The prisoners who had been given court tickets to Florence, and pend ing their removal to that retreat, broke jail at Nogales and crossed the international boundary line into Mex ico, are still at large. That is, three of them are, the fourth having been captured and turned over to Superin tendent Rynning of the state prison. At last accounts the desperate trio were still logging it south, following their release by the Sonora authori- ties. That there is some hope they will be caught is contained in letter just received by Governor Campbell from President Obregon in which the latter says he has dispatched orders to the effect that immediately upon their apprehension they be de- ported to Arizona"

JOE CAMPBELL IS
 HURT IN SMASH

(From Saturdays Dailyl


 Joe Campbell, brother Of Governor Thomas E. Campbell, and we'll known resident of Prescott, yesterday sus- tained injuries to his left hand which resulted in the amputation of the first two joints of the ring finger, when a car he was driving turned over at the street crossing just beyond the Mercy hospital. The accident occur red at about o'clock in the after noon. No other passengers were in the car.

The first two joints of the ring finger and the top joint of the little finger were re- moved. The patient was resting easily last night.
 Campbell was driving his machine over the concrete apron across the road just beyond the hospital. The machine left the concrete, at the right and turned over.

 For Sick Passengers

Rejection by railroads of applicants for passage who, being tuberculars, were not equipped with stutum cups as required by law, has led Dr. A. M. Tuthill, state health office, to issue the following notice to superintend- ents of hospitals, institutions and boarding houses in the state, treating tubercular persons, and all others concerned:
 "Your attention is invited to the fact that several instances have oc- cured where tubercuiar patients have beer refused transportation by car riers because such patients were not supplied with suptum cups, etc, in accordance with the interstate quar- antine regulations of the United States. To. prevent such embarrass- ment to the patients and the common carriers, it is desired that you inform tubercular patients before travelling to or from your establishment of the re- quirements of the regulations.

HOW CHAMPION OF
 THE TRAPS LOST BY
 BEING 4 GOOD SPORT
(From Fridays Daily)

Mark Arie, the Champaign, H., professional, brother of Champion Nick Arie of Kingman, won host of friends for himself. even though he lost. the professional champion ship to Art Killam of East St. Louis, H., by his sportsmanlike conduct. None of the newspapers carried the details of the event. They are rather interesting.
 Mark Arie and Art Killam had tied with 198-700. Both had gone straight in the first two shoot-offs of twenty five birds each and Killam had broken his third string without a miss. Arie had one more bird to shoot. He had already fired at 479 targets that day. Through some queer mental quirk which all shoot CTS have experienced, he called for his 4S0th bird and failed to shoot. Had he wished to take advantage of one of the weaknesses of trapshoot- ing he could undoubtedly have called for another bird, and it would have been allowed him; he could have pro- tested that the pull was too slow. too fast, or have feigned d mechani- cal difficulty with his gun. Mark Aire isn't that kind of sportsman,

Safeguarding Prescott By ROBERT CORNELL
 Chief, Prescott Fire Dept.

Calling attention to the dangerous condition that has arisen from the wide sale of inflammab1e cleaning liquids for home use, it is necessary to caution the housewives of Prescott to exercise the greatest care in pur- chasing such cleaners.
 Reports that I have received indi- cate that many drug stores are put ting up solutions of carbon bi-sul- phide, which they offer to the public as safe preparations for the removal of spots and stains from clothing and other materials. This chemical is more explosive than gasoline because or its greater volatility. Its vapors will ignite at comparatively low tenn peratures without either spark or flame being present. The heat of steam-pipe, for example, is sufficient
 As matter of fact, carbon bi-sul- phide is classified as the most haz- ardous of inflammable liquids. In some instances, the carbon bi-sul- phide is combined with ether, which makes 1t even more deadly.
 The fire hazards of cleaning fluids differ considerably, and buyers should ascertain whether they have been ex- amined and passed upon by the .un- derwriters' laboratories. Cleaning consisting wholly of car bon tetrachloride are safe from a fire and are actually valuable n extinguishing small fires in con fined places.

BOARD MAY PASS UP COMMISSION FOR 4
 LATER APPOINTMENT
Regular Meeting of Supervisors Mon- day Expected to Take No Ac-
 ton On Five Vacancies
From Sundays Daily)

Indications were yesterday that the meeting of the board of supervisors tomorrow, the third Monday in the month, would pass the question of reappointment of the highway com mission. No information was put out yesterday by the board, but there have been several hints lately that the matter would not be rushed.
 The highway commission is too important to be selected in an off hand manner and besides there are issues up for settlement in a court action that may have a bearing on the appointments.
 By tomorrow, all members of the commission will have overrun their two-year terms, so there will be five good whole vacancies to fill. Reap pointment of three of the present members IS expected. Heinie w. Lewis of Jerome has indicated his unwillingness to serve a second term.

The best steers here brought $940 Other fed steers sold at $S.5O to $9.25. Strictly prime steers would have brought 5000 or better. Wintered summer grazed steers sold up to $8.25, and straight grass fat steers up to SIPS. Medium cows and heif- CTS were 10 to IS cents lower and others steady. Veal calves were 25 cents lower.

 Hogs
 Hog prices were strong to 10 cents higher than last weeks close, and fully 25 cents higher than the low point last week. The top price was S8.65, and the bulk of the good hogs sold at $7.75 to $8.65. Pigs were steady, top $S50. The market open ed barely steady and the advance came at the close
