And it waves in its glory today;

How they stood long ago on the fields
of their fame
Let Trenton and Brandywine tell.
Let Yorktown and Valley Forge echo
each name
To the tocsin of Liberty's bell;
They sleep where the rivers flow down
to the sea,
Revered by all patriots true;
They rest meath the rose and they camp
meath the tree
The men of the old Buff and Blue.
Who sees not our banner in pride as II

The beauty of Old Glory's stars.
We hail this bright day on the sea and

That tells us of Liberty's dawn,
And the old Continentals seem marching

AS they did in the days that are gone:
Their fame is eternal, for the fame never

When the cause that is fought for is

Look up see our standard that's set in

And honor the brave who are dust.
We are ONE in the land that they lett

We are strong on the crest of the sea,

Forever and aye may we gleefully sing
OF the worlds only Fourth of July.

INN LONG FAMOUS
Figured Prominently in Revolu-
tionary War Days.
Pennsylvania R%oadhouse That Stood
Squarely Between the British
and American Armies.

The advent of national prohibition
sounded the death knell for many
r%oadhouses scattered throughout the
country districts. The stopping places
Of tourists, the Mecca of motorists
and the scenes os many %impromptu
parties, these places for many years
held a corner in the hearts of the
American public that gave them a
place of almost equal Importance with
the circus and the chautauqua. Few,
however, survived long after January
16, 1920, because the main source of
their income was gone.
One of the most popular roadhouses
within several hundred miles of the
city, for many years a Mecca for prom
inent Philadelphians on their hikes
and rambles, has to some extent sur
vived and still opens its doors to thou
sands of tourists each month. 1t is
the old Jeffersonville inn, located on
the corner of Egypt road and Ridge
pike, about seven miles from historic
Valley Forge and about two miles
northwest of Norristown. 1t is better
known to its friends as Tom Brown
inn, by which name it went for many
years.
Surrounded by spots made famous
because of their connection with
events of the Revolution, itself per-
meated with historical associations.
the inn held the interest and patronage
of many educated men because of the
stories and data of historical events
so closely connected with the old
building.
The house was built in 1865 and was
besieged by the British and partially
destroyed ten years later. This site
was in the neutral ground between
the established lines of both the Brit
ish and American armies, and was
constantly secuted by horsemen of
both armies. The Americans, when at
Valley Forge, had their most easterly
pickets at the ju%ncture of the two
roads at Jeffersonville. At that time
the inn was owned by the Thompsons,
who, because of their relationship to
General Thompson and because of
their open hostility to the royal cause,
were objects of animosity to the Brit
ish troops. And because of this the
inn was fired and partially destroyed.

In the dining rooms were tables and

special Fourth of July dinner. Over

that cows could chew so placidly and

 rgable lands of the Big Sandy sec tion. About 5000 acres of these lands have been resided on by various set tiers, and either farmed or used for grazing purposes for many years prior to survey of the lands. These odd numbered sections are within the primary grant of the Santa Fe Pacific railroad ,and under the terms of the bill the railroad company will receive other lands in exchange for the lands relinquished.
 Should the measure become a law there is a large acreage along the Sandy that may be entered and which could be put to the profitable raising of crops, irrigation being carried on from wells, water being found close to the surface, especially on the east side of the valley. Possibilities are abundant for the impoundment of water in the canyons reaching down to the valley from the Aquarius range, from which water might be taken onto

LEGISLATURE GETS BUSY AFTER
 DEADLOCK

 of the legislators from two to four
 years, and cause the extension of the
 terms of the present members until
 January, 1927. Just how authority for such movement could be obtained is one of those things that only the Arizona Industrial Conference, which
 suggested the amendment, could evolve. The present legislature under the law die natural death on the first day of January, 1923, and their
 successors are to be elected at the same time that an amendment to the constitution is voted on. Another one of these measures provides that an .a amendment to the constitution and initiated or referred laws can carry only by majority of all the voters registering for the election. This is an impossible measure, as it would not be possible for any measure to carry under this provision, not even if special election was held for that purpose. Out of a registration of ap- proximately 10000 the laws and
 amendments, for and against have never exceeded 40%. And looking over the usual return from an cleo ton in any state the vote seldom rep resents more than 70@o of the total. Therefore, how can it be expected to carry measure by more than 5Oro of all voters registering? And there are other proposed measures equally as absurd. .
 The one measure that has interest for Mohave county is that of trans fer of the bridge fund of $4O,OOO, passed by legislature of 1919, but which was never used for the p,,r- pose of building a bridge across the Colorado river near Pierce Ferry. This sum, added to the work that ,he Mohave County Highway Commission IS carrying on would build good highway into Boulder Canyon, giving acc, ss tC the big damsite and making it possible to enter the canyon at point that would at all times be above submergence. As the work of survey ing that project is under way, and the money was available, the road would be useable within the next ! ninety days.
 Many of the propositions set out in the call of the governor are before the legislature, more than 100 bills having already been introduced. oS far we have not seen the proposed bill, nor the motor vehicle aw, but these measures, together with an insurance bill, are expected to emerge from committee soon. Tho egislature is working and the strain sd relations have given place to amic- .ble understanding.

 In making survey of the property so far as opened, MT. Halloran is con vinced that there has been no faulting of the big vein, but that the work heretofore done disgressed to a po,nt where it encountered the wall, which, when crossed through, showed anoth- CT vein or rather again encountered the vein lost in the drift. The work now being done will show the contin- uity of the vein ,and also the other veins paralleling the main ore body. All ore extracted from the drifts and raises is sent to the mill, no matter what its value may be, but the heads show that it is all pay. With the opening of the stopes the ore sent to mill will be kept cleaner and W carry much better values than the ores now being put through.
 The mine shows ore in every open ing and every day brings in more and better grade material. The mill is handling this ore most satisfactorily, the tails going to the pits with irac- tically 10 metal left. The saving Jf values runs from 93% to 97%, which is wonderfully high for a Notation plant. This mill is being addel 10 and within a short time will be hard. ling from 75 to 100 tons daily.

No mine in the state has a better showing than the Dean and none with greater promise for the fu- ture. It is in the hands of men who believe in making mine, not in ex- racting funds from stockholders.

FIVE ROAD BUILDING
 UNITS NOW GOING

The Mohave County Highway Com mission held it's bi-monthly meeting at the courthouse yesterday and allow ed bills and transacted other business. The commission is now operating five l roadbuilding units in the county, these being the road over Mokiac hill, the Short Creek road, the Littlefield road, the Chloride Searchlight project and the Mineral Park project. The bad road between Mesquite and Littlefield, in the north part of the county, is be- ing rebuilt and is now in fine shape. This work is in charge of J. H. Reber, of Littlefield. Near Wolf Hole the work is in charge of Mr. Parker and it is expected that much of the bad road through that section will be remedied. The Short Creek road is being built from the Utah line over good grade to Short Creek. The rock work is in charge of w. J. Murphy, who built the road over Union Pass, while the other work is under charge of J. H. Gallagher.
 
 The new road to Mineral Park has been graded to point in what is known as Gross Wash and some of the rock work is being drilled prepara- tory to shooting. This road is one of the best in the county and will be of great benefit to the people living at the Park. This work is in charge of Frank Gulley.
 The heavy grade over the mountain on the Searchlight Ferry road has been reduced and can be negotiated in second gear by any car. The sharp turns have been eliminated and the road can be used at any time. The road gang under George Vice is camped at what is known as Bonelli's

pasture, where operations will be car ried on both ways. This road will join the White Hills road about 10 miles north of Chloride and will form part of the road to Boulder Canyon. This road is to pass few miles west ofWhite Hills, but at point where it can be readily connected up with the road into the big silver camp.
 Surveys are about completed on the proposed road from Stout's We'll to Bill Williams Fork, the surveyors now being engaged in the work of cross sectioning. This road will form a link in the highway between Yucca and the crossing of the Bill Williams Fork at or near the Cactus Queen mine and make main line road through to Phoenix.
