. STORY WITH A MORAL

A California girl who did not like
the restraints that her aged and re-
ligious stepfather imposed upon her,
perjured his liberty away on a charge
of improper conduct. After he had
served three years in prison remorse
overlook her and she returned from
the east, where she had been during
his Incarceration, confessed her crime
and enabled him to secure 4 pardon.
In the meantime her mother had dis
owned her and removed to San Quen-
tin, residing in a house as near to
the p~enitentiary walls as she could
to be at hand to render such assist
ance as she might in an emergency
during his rapid decline.
This noble impulse OF the young
perjurer reads fine, revealing a broad
field for story building, extracting
morals and providing entertainment
for those who become interested.
But without intending to be unduly
pessimistic in an altruistic world, it
may be noted that the did
not arrive until after the statute of
limitations against the crime of per-
jury had run and the remorseful one
cannot be prosecuted.
One moral which might he drawn
under the circumstances is that it
pays to be foxy about the day and
date when your remorse sets in.

ELY-McGILL PAVING

Upon this read state authorities by
a recent count of one weeks duration

that in respect to travel it stands
second in the state to only the Reno

AIR NOT FOR FEEIGH"

What's the use of building great
highway systems at an expense of
millions and millions OF dollars when
in a few short years all the freight
and passenger traffic will be carried
IN the air?
The question is alwayc being asked
by some one, usually some one who
is unendowed by nature with faculty
of thinking straight, but sometimes
ly those who think but without data
on which to 90.
The next ten, or the neXt hundred
years will see enormous strides made
in aviation. Mail, some express, some
passenger traffic will 60 via plane,
and much sport and travel will use
1t. But no further development of
a~eronauticS can overcome the funda-
mental fact of nature, that to raise
a weight in the air and maintain il
there requires power, AMI that power
is an equivalent for value; in our
terms, money.
Therefore, 20 matter how desira-
BILE otherwise, no system of trans
portation which requires an eXpendi-
ture to support a weight, can compete
in cheapness with those in which the
weight is borne by the earth.
There will always be railroads, al
ways be vessels Oh the water, always
be roads and road vehicles. They
will change, improve, become mere
economical, more speedy, more safe.
but the earth will continue to carry
the bulk of the traffic, simply and
solely because it doesn't charge any.
thing for holding up the weight,
whereas nature makes us pay, and
heavily, to hold the weight up in the
air while we transport it..
Those who build roads today will
not live to see the time when their
roads are not used. Those who band
themselves for roads today will never
see the day when those bonds are out
standing against unused highways
The airways will be incI easingly used,
but not for freight.

THE FORGOTTEN GRAVEYARD

! always think when the hearse goes
by
1t brings distant memories to my
minds eye
OF a place tucked away in a departed
heap,
1t rests in the rye grass fast asleep.
AS for surroundings away from the
home,
1t has lain there for ages sleeping
alone;
Its headstones with records have been
dimmed by the sand,
They fairly seem sleeping as they
slant into the land.
No one has been buried in that plot
for years,
Humanity abandoned it with the
extreme lack of tears;
Time has dimmed all sisns of the
presence of man.
don't wonder why it sleeps buried
deep in the sand.
No hand seems to worry by the alb
sence of toll,
Though it may be best sleeping
alone with the soil.

J A DESERT ROAD

The Arrowhead trail is a fairly
good road through Utah and will lie
better when it is paved from Nephi
TO st. George, which is promised n
the early future, but that does not
take a person all the way to Los An
geles. OF what its condition is in
the southern tip of Nevada from the
Utah line to Las Vegas recent re-
ports are not at hand, but it used to
be exceedingly rough there, and it
is a fairly solid natural country road
on to S~earchlight.
From there on is the trouble. a
few miles east of Golf S it is merged
with the Santa Fee highway, known
as the Old Trails route, and for more
than 200 miles across the Majaye
desert it is a bad one. Frequently
one reads OF its extreme heat il sum-
mer, of autOists not being allowed to
drive over it in the daytime during
summer months, but of it's roughness
and sand less is heard. Back in 1915
and before it was so rough that a
Ford could hardly be driven ove- il
in high gear and there was talk of
mending it, but instead of this be-
ing done in a permanent hammer or
at all, the road has grown worse.
Recently the Motor West Maya
zine published an editorial uron this
roads wretched condition, which arti-
Gle has been copied by the Victor

ROAD

AN DIE IbOAD
California is naturally known as
the land of good roads, and with a
few exceptions this is the case. The
most glaring of rotten roads is the
most important one which enters
the state from the east, the route
travelled by thousands of tourists
each year, which from Needles to
V|ictorville is hardly worthy of the
name of highway, In regard to
this stretch of road the magazine,
Motor West, has The following to
say:
ITO describe conditions at the
interstate highway points en- Cali
fornia's boundaries only cxpletives
would serve adequately. : recent
Newspaper cartoon was very appro-
pirate. 1t pictures a group of
motorists at a boundary, gazing in
to the state and asking:
Where are the boulevards?,'
Blaming CaliforDia's present
economy administration is correct
only in a very small degree. Go
back through the ages for the basic
reason. Trace man from then to
now. We are not yet rid of the
primitive idea of having and hold
ing. Bettering distant commune
ties or distant highways, to better
ourselves-muh, Our customary
conception of cooperation still is
about as far as we've progressed
in many matters. II Il cammun-
ity is one of those that pay most to
the state in fees applicable to high
way work, we not only get back
about half the money, but cooper
ate to get as much as possible of
the other half spent on highways
where we live-right Under our
noses, where we can see them as
concrete return for our n
and we do rot try to see far beyond
our nasal protuberances. If We
were located close to the interstate
boundaries the roads there would
be excellent.
California has done SO we'll in
establishing standards IF construc-
tion that are perfect in many ways
that a few hundred miles on her
borders are 4 dlsgrace.'

BABBLINC BROOKS
IN THE DESERT

Old Bill Boggs, down at Jerome,
Ariz., hates autos. Bill has a little
acreage on the steep slope at the bot
tom of the gulch below town, and in
front of his house he converted the
terrain into a terrace and bulkhoad-
ed it handsomely with a stone wall.
The next thing Bill did was to grade
up the road in elegant shape i'll front
CT this stone fence, making it look
like a new flower bed before the
seeds had sprouted and the flow
ers had come up. After that Bill
strewed the area with tacks, this as
a preventive against autos backing
up to mis- wall and turning around.
None IF this is so amusing, lut there
is a slightly funnier side tc it While
Bill hates autos as he does he pats in
his time walking up and Gown the
roads, either talking to himself or 10
anybody happening that way. tursjng
autos all the while, but here crops
out Bills other hobby, which is to
throw rocks out of the road. Every
twenty or thirty feet as he walks he
will spy a rock, stoop fer il. throw
it over the grade and then utter all
, maledictions in his profane vocabu-
larry against every auto, everybody
who ever rode in one, singly and col
lectively. Then Bill ticks up an
other rock and throws it out of the
tracks. That's about all I ever knew
about Bill Boggs, but even that brief
sketch of his eccentricitios is inter
esting. My idea Is that the auto
owners of Arizona should erect a
granite shaft in honor of their hater
and benefactor, and do everything
for his comfort and we'll being while
he is still meandering about the terra
firma.

of times. Two mounted policemen
soon vanished also. AS It proved.
Brophy was hiding in a supposedly
abandoned cabin on a pup OF Bonanza
creek-pup in the Klondike lingo
meant tributary. Away late at night
he would sneak to q roadhouse. the
keeper of which it was whispered was
his friend. Constable Egan had been
in the Boer war and was full of the
tricks he is about to play here. Bro
ply crapt up the trail to the back
door of the roadhouse. He left his
Winchester rifle leaning against the
wall, stock in the snow. Egan was
windlass man IN the night shift at
the placer mine upon which the road
house was situated. Over he crept
and worked the lever of the rife,
throwing all the ca;tridges out in
the snow, then carefully leaned the
gun back in the position he found
it. Both policemen waited for their
quarry. At last as Brophy came out
they allowed him to pick up the rife
before they commanded hands up.
Brophy did not put EN- up but lev
eled the gun at the policemen, and
cooked and pulled, but it would net
shoot.

l won't mention her name, but she
rode straddle, even before it became
stylish and after autos took the place
of saddle horses, and carried a gun
like a man. She staked some mining
claims a few miles from Jerome,
where she had it doped out to her
own satisfaction that there was to
be a big mine like the United Verde.
She intended to build a smelter, a
railway and have a one-man town
there, like Jerome, run by a woman.
Rude men claimed the same ground
and tried to take it by force. but she
camped there night and day with
her gun strapped on her, holding
it against all corners The papers

DELTA MAN COURTS
TROUBLE IN MATRIMONY

Last Wednesday q most unusual case
Of fraud was brought to light near
Delta, when Deputy Marshal Lewis
Worker arrested Thomas Tiplett,
who is fifty years old and the father
Of seven children, it being alleged
that Triplett had used the mails for
obtaining money dishonesty.
1t appears that Triplett has been
posing as young girl, Lottie Seals
by name, to young Kentuclsian,
sending the man q photograph Of a
movie queen and representing it as
his own, having obtained information
in some way that the Kentuckian
was in search Of a sweetheart. He
wrote many letters, finally requesting
$500 with which to go to Kentucky
and become the young mans bride.
The accused man has been living
near Delta for some months on the
Bert Durham ranch, near Reade. He
was supposedly Baptist minister
from Kentucky. He is well known in
Colorado Springs and Denver, and
a 81 500 bond was arranged. He is
said TO be financially responsible and
alleges the fraud Of which he is ac-
cused was done merely as a joker An
which several others played q part.
