 Now il is pretty hard to say just who is mishandlinc the truth in the state engineers department but is either of two gSSes. Reference correspondence the matter shows that Maddock his chcf clerk. Ln Raphie. have guessed ways in trying to explain matters to the 'orhSc county board of ~upervis OrS
 As have remarked before. the state engineer has evadcd for year. answering CochiSe county for upwards of $l20o0O that should have been credited to D per cent fund. and his only defense is his ment that We challenge anyone in CochiSc county ShOr that all of the per fund allotted your county and all of the Federal Aid secured roads built in COchisc county have been expended i'll Co chise county
 We opine that it Is Ilp the engineer to show Cochise county where he has spent the fund in question: since she was entitled to the money through her 5 per cent fund If Maddock did spend that amount in this county out of his p per cent fund.- he is still doing Co chse county injustice. because. are informed through auditors report that the three years ill question his records show that only little than $12OO0 and above the $12O0Oo Cocise y, when $20000O paid into the p per fund from this county during that period.
 little cXplantion on Tom Maddocks part coupled with little detailed report many times requested and many times refused, would clear up the whole matter.
 If Tom Maddock has played fair with Cochse county. little man Friday Inghra1n steadfasty avovs then why does Maddock hesitate to advise the Cochise county board of supervisors to where and wien this money expended
 Does the office of which Friday Inghlam is the .'big cheese keep temzed of the cxpendi turo of such a trifng little $120.OO0!

 If this is true 1t does not speak well for Tommy man Friday, that parsonage who spends his time writ ing slapstck letters adorned with his signature chef clerk"
 If all is well with the funds supposed to have been pended in EOchiSe county, those funds which trusted Tom Maddocks office for such expenditure, why the hesitation in granting the just request of the CO chse county board!
 The board of supervisors of Cochise county, well as hundreds of taxpayers, want to know WHERE Tom MaddOrk spent this money and they will find ou even at the terrible possibility of arousng the ire of Frday Ingbram.

GOOD ROAD SAVES MILLIONS
Men With Tools Enabled to Reach
Threatened Break In Levee and
Stop Rising Waters.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
A federal-aid road has just been COM
pleted In Arkansas which has already
saved millions of dollars to the COM
munity in which it is built. Recently
during high water in the Mississippi
word came to Helena, Ark, that the
levee at Old Town, II miles away,
was about to break. The situation
was critical. A few hours delay and
thousands of acres of rich farming
land would be flooded, and possibly
many lives lost. Helena was the only
source Of aid, and many men with
tools and material were needed. Every
available motor vehicle was pressed
into service and over 900 men, prop
erly equipped for the work, were in
short time speeding over the new road
to save the levee. They arrived in
the nick Of time and by almost super
human efforts damned back the ris-
ing waters. Residents say that had it
been necessary to make the trip over
the old road the levee could not have
been reached in time and that the
workers would have needed boats
rather than motor vehicles.
