Chinese delegates saw the respective

decided afterwards as to the prospects.
Facing a situation that both described as

.MORE LICENSES
 RECEIVED HERE
Yavapai Motorists May Now Se-
 cure Automo bile Plates Steady Increase Noted in the
 Number of Licenses Issued.

Motorists who have been unable to secure new automobile license plates may now get them by calling at the office of County Assessor C. E. Gentry. A new shipment of 1922 plates has been received and the licenses are ready for distribution. During the past few weeks the big demand by automobile owners for Yavapai plates has swamped the as sessor's office to such an extent that the supply on hand was quickly ex- hausted.
 Up to June 30, 2,3OO licenses plates had been issued this year in Yavapai county, Assessor Gentry said. The present issuance stands at the 2,632 mark, and will probably reach 2,80O or 5000 before the end of the year
 Automobile license plates for 1923 will be made in California instead of in the east where plates have pre- viously been secured. Thus, con- siderable time will be saved the state and Arizona automobile owners in getting plates received and dis tributed promptly. Proposals advo- eating that 1923 plates be made oi copper has been discontinued. The plates will be made as heretofore The design for 1923 will reproduce the present county number scheme and colored lettering on a white background, except that the 1923 plates will be blue on white.

 THAT "VILLAGE" OF
 CLARKDALE IN 1921

He calls the great smelter town a village" Blu; then it was at Clarkdale, he says, that Ihis wife, Mary Leslie Taylor, up and left him without just cause, and went so fast that he is now perfectly ignorant of her whereabouts, if any.
 An affidavit accompanies the com plaint, and says that the present residence of Mary Leslie is to the affiant unknown. Her last sailing orders were California.
 The Taylors were married at River side, Calif., on June 20, 1920, and the alleged desertion occurred at Clark dale on March IA, 1921. O'Sullivan & Morgan represent the plaintiff.

WHY ONE OF FRANK SCULLYS
 CHEERING SECTIONS WAS NOT IN THE PAPER

Why there was no Cheering Section" in the Journal-Miner one day nine months ago is now ex- plained in communication re- ceived from tne postmaster at Phoenix Saturday. A large official envelope arrived, carrying within it, the opened and somewhat be- draggled envelope of Frank Scul- ly, the contributor, and the "cop' he had written on November 2, 1921.
 The envelope was poshnarked Tucson on that date, and bore the the inscription: Copy, Rush, pleaseP
 Postoffice Inspector J. L. Coop CT in a form letter, explains the slight delay:
 "The inciosed mail was recently recovered near Maricopa, Ariz., it having been stolen from the mail car at Maricopa on the night of November 2, 1921, by Roy G. Gardner, the notorious mail bandit, who rifled most of the mail and left same in a secluded place in an uninhabited section.
 Tt is greatly regretted that you have been inconvenienced by this delay, but there is some satisfac- ton in knowing that Gardner is now serving 25-year sentence in the United States pelitentiary at Leavenworth, Kans."
 The Journal-Miner is not so vim dictive but that it hopes MT. Gard ner enjoyed the perusal of MT. Scully's poem and sport comment, to an extent to relieve his disap- pointnent over finding no cash or other sordid values in that en- velope. Anyway Roy ought to have known there would be no money in a newspaperman's letter.

OATMAN, Ariz., July 31. - One
 eyed Steve Soubic, known through
 out the Oatman district as the bare
 foot geologist," is in the Oatmar
 jail charged with non-payment of his annual assessment on a liquor bill which it IS alleged Steve contracted back in 1913
 Lawyer V. P. Lucas has charge of Steve's case and expects to have his client out tomorrow morning on a writ of habeas corpus. Lucas as- serts that Steve was unlawfully i'm prisoned, that the statute of limita- tions and the Volstead act make saloon bills uncollectable, that Steve was never known to accept drink if he thought he would have to pay for it and that therefore 1t was not likely that his client would contract a bar bill.
 Round Mountain" Scotty, proprie- tor of "The Highgrader's Cafe," of Oatman insists, however, that Steve signed an agreement in 1917 to pay $5 a year on his old bar bill until the full amount of $35 was paid. All Oatman is discussing the case in low tones.
 Steve Soubic is the same old desert rat who saved Charles Schwab's life in 1906. Schwab and party of Pittsburg friends left Emigrant Springs near Skidoo, Cal, on the edge of Death Valley. When found oy Steve they had wandered to Horn Rock seven miles north of Daylight Springs on the Nevada frontier. The ochwab party was off the road and lad become ebwildered by a sand torm which so twisted them around hat they had lost all sense of di- ! ection.
 Moreover, the Schwab party had | un out of food and rinking water. They had not eaten for forty-eight 1 tours. Steve thus describes his res ue of the Schwab party.

YAVIPAE CLIMATE IDEAL FOR TUBERCULAR PATIENTS SAYS
 DEPUTY PRE5I DENT IF 3. E. I.
D. A. Mckenzie Inspects Local Sanatoria and Fort Whipple and Gathers Data for Brother hood; Favorable Impression.

That the climate and health re- sources of Prescott and Yavapai county are ideal for the treatment of tubercular patients is the conclusion of D. A. Mckenzie, deputy president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who has been here for the past several days inspecting local sanatoria for the brotherhood. Mir. Mckenzie was unable to say whether members of the brotherhood suffer ing from tuberculosis would be placed in sanatoria here for treat ment, for the simple reason that all decisions ill the matter will be given by headquarters of the B. R. T. in Cleveland, Ohio, after the first of the year. These decisions, however, will be made on the basis of data provided by MT. Mckenzie.
 "The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will not construct its own sanatorium for at least three years" :" MT. Mckenzie last night told a rep resentative of the Journal-Miner. He further stated that report that a sanitarium was to be constructed by the B. R. T. at Phoenix, and a later report that while in Phoenix he had designated sanatoria of that city for use by the B. R. T., were erroneous. Those reports were exaggerated he said. No sanatoria have been desig mated anywhere, and will not be un- til the headquarters of the Brother hood decided the natter
 Yesterday Mir. Mckenzie visited all the sanatoria in Prescott and vicin- ity. In company with Lester Ruff ner and Miss Grace Sparkes of the chamber of commerce he called at Films, Wilson's, St. Luke's home and others ir the morning, and in the afternoon in company with pr. A. D. Wilson visited the government hospital at Whipple Barracks. He  said last night that his impressions of this city and county as a health center for tubercular patients were very favorable.
 Our greatest problem" he said, Twill be to find a reliable institution capable of caring properly for large numbers of men. From what I have seen I believe the sanatoria here will be able to do so. But all decisions will be made by headquarters after the first of the year. Between now and then I will continue to gather data"
 The caring for members who have contracted tuberculosis is a new de parture for the B. R. T., MT. Mo Kenzie said. Although it was planned at first to build a hospital, this plan has been deferred, and the brother hood will place its patients in pri- vate sanatoria on a contract basis. A minimum of 500 patients a year will have to be cared for, the deputy president said.

JOB GONE, HE
 MAKES WH|SKEY
Gavino Soto Adopts Liquid Me thod of Recuperating Fortunes When Work Plays Out, But Gets Only 3 Months for 1t.

Gabino Soto knew just enough about the constitution of the United States to be aware of its rather vague and hay existence, but he was sure that somewhere in that document there lurked a provision against mak- ing liquor But having been in the United States a comparatively short time, and being engrossed with other affairs, he paid but slight attention to the changing fads of these Ameri- cans, and when the job she was lost, and the pinch of poverty he became insistent, Gavino threw all other con- alterations to the wind and began making booze.
 He did not know whether the pro- duct of his enterprise was good liquor or poison; potable or wood all cohol. He had not, being of the age of but 2, and not very thoughtful, meditated upon the possible deadly effect of his output, provided he had erred in his calculations. But it was sufficient for his purpose to produce something that was liquid, something that was hot and something that would bring in the jack. He needed that jack Unmarried and without parents, still he needed 1t.
 He had a tio, Pedro Flores, pre- suambly the brother of his mother. And Pedro was arrested with Gavino at Puntenney, and brought to Pres colt. But after Gavino had pleaded guilty yesterday and had been sen fenced to three months in jail, as the judge said, to have time to think over the constitution of the United States, Mir. Westervelt asked to have Pedro released, as the prisoner then at the bar appeared to be the really guilty party.
 Through his interpreter, Gavino was quite sure that he would be able to ponder quite satisfactorily upon the white mans law. He had made his last liquor, he was also sure.
