PHOENIX MAY AT LAST GET
GET MAIN LINE RAILROAD

Practical assurance of new trans
continental railroad to the Pacific
coast, probably by way Of Phoenix,
was given with the reported sale to
the Ell Paso and Southwestern rail-
road of forty acres of land in Los
Angeles for freight and switching
yards and other purposes, according
to a New York dispatch. The Los
Angeles tract has been for some time
under option to the railway and the
consideration is said to be in the
neighborhood of S7,O00,000. The Wall
street authority for the reported sale
indicates that the Ell Paso and South
western heads a syndicate composed
of Rock Island, Texas and Pacific and
some smaller rail lines in the middle
west and southwest and that the COM
bination of their trackage, with the
extension of the FL Paso and South
Westerns line from Tucson to Los An
geles, by way of Phoenix, will form
the new transcontinental line. A con-
siderable nlInber of smaller railway
systems will connect with the new
lines as feeders and will thereby open
up an immense territory to rail trans
portation in the southwest.

BELOVED TEACHER OF
SUPERIOR IS DEAD


While laughing and chatting and
apparently greatly pleased because of
her successful start towards Austin,
Texas, where she was going for the
benefit of her health, Miss Mary
Griffith, school teacher of Superior
and a former school teacher in the
Miami schools, died suddenly at the
Arizona Eastern station at Globe.
The body was removed to the Jones
undertaking parlors preparatory to
shipment to st. Louis, Mo.
Miss Griffith, who was about go
years of age and who was we'll known
and we'll liked in the district, was ac-
companied by her brother, DR.. F. l.
Griffith, of Austin, Texas, and Miss
D. L. Cargett, a trained nurse from
Phoenix.
DR.. Griffith stated that about two
weeks ago he received a telegram
from the physician who had been in
attendance upon his sister at Superior,
stating that if he wanted to see his
sister alive for him to come to Su-
perior at once. He made the trip at
once and found upon his arrival that
she had been suffering from pneu-
monia and that the disease had so
weakened her heart that the only hope
for her recovery was in getting to a
lower altitude.

SERIOUS THING THAT EVER
HIT STATE OF CALIFORNIA

Endorsement of the precautionary
measures taken by Arizona to pre-
vent spread of the foot-and-mouth
disease to this state from California
is contained in letter from Fred Fl.
Bixby, president of the American
National Livestock association, and
one. of the biggest livestock men of
the coast, to P. G. Spilsbury, president
of the Arizona Industrial Congress.
Mr.. Bixby declared the foot-and-
mouth epidemic is. the most serious
thing that has ever hit California,
and that efforts to check it have
been only partly successful. Regard
ing the situation Mr.. Bixby says:
"Beg to report that there were sew
eral new outbreaks of foot and mouth
disease in Los Angeles county yester-
day april 16), and wish to express
to you my endorsement. of all pre-
cautionary measures set forth by Ari-
zona and other adjoining states to
the end that this most obnoxious dis
ease be kept out of the adjoining
states. This epidemic is the most
serious thing that has ever hit Cal
ifornia, and although both federal
and state officials are doing every
thing possible to check it, up to date
they have had only partial success.
Mr.. Bixby is well known in this
state, having attended number of
cattlemen's meetings. He was one of
the speakers at the annual conven-
ton of the Industrial Congress a year
ago last December.

GIVE ROAD HOG RIGHT
OF WAY SAYS BULLETIN

"Road hogs" are creatures who are
either thoughtless or inexperienced
and usually are not wilfully disrespect-
full of law and order, that is to say,
they do not know any better-accord-
ing to a bulletin received by the
chamber of commerce from the Amer
lean Automobile association.
Recent Investigations revealed that
every spring brings its toll of pre-
ventable automobile accidents that
were due to recklessness and VIOLA
ton of the rules of the road, accord
ing to the bulletin. And as a remedy,
an appeal is made to experienced driv-
ers to give the inexperienced driver
the best of it, even though the latter
may be in the wrong.
"Whenever driver seems to be
usurping the right of way at an in
tersection when he is not entitled to
do so it is safer to assume he or she
is inexperienced and not wilfuliy dis
respectful of law, the rules of the
road and the rights of others" the
bulletin stated. "And if you are a
true worker for safety you will do
everything in your power to make it
less likely for the inexperienced driver
to come to grief.
"This means that you must give
way to him at crossings, fall back on
the hill if he tries to pass you and
shows signs of becoming caught be-
tween your car and the machine COM
ing down. hill, and apply your brakes
cautiously when he is following you
in. traffic.
"It means that at every curve IN
the road you should sound your horn,
because in all probability the careless
or inexperienced one will overlook
sounding his.
"The beginner will learn, but in the
meantime safety rests with those ex-
perienced drivers who are in posi-
tion to offset the beginners short
comings."

STATE QUARANTINE MAY
BE EXTENDED TO TRAINS

Recommendations that the present
stringent quarantine measures in ARR
zona against the foot and mouth dis
ease be maintained and that further
more quarantine be imposed against
all train passenger traffic into the
state, save in exceptional instances,
were made Yearly in the week by the.
scientific committee, comprising doc
tors and scientists, to the general ses-'
sion of the various associations meet
ing in the state capitol to discuss
quarantine measures.
The recommendations of the scien-
tific committee are in the form of a
resolution which seeks to prohibit
passenger traffic into the state save
in cases of extreme necessity, Under
its provisions persons wishing to
come here must show an affidavit
that they have not been in an infected
district for period of 21 days.
The plan proposes the establish
ment of a central office in Los An
geles to supervise all travel into Ari-
zona,
A Washington dispatch of the 21st
says:
The extra appropriation of $780,
900 to combat the foot and mouth dis
ease in California was approved by
the senate today. 1t was passed by
the house Saturday and now goes to
the president for signature.
Gov. Hunt, according to statement
made by him, will endeavor to have a
conference at Phoenix Of the COVER
nors of the western states in regard
to the menace of the foot and mouth
disease in California. The governor
of the latter state will be invited to
attend the meeting. The Arizona gov
ernor yesterday received the follow
ing telegram of appreciation from
Governor M. w. Richardson of Cali
fornia for the permitting by Hunt of
the passage of the stranded motorists
at Yuma into this state.
Appreciate your action in permit
ting vehicles and persons to pass
through Yuma eastbound. Our offic-
ers will cooperate in every way in
assisting inspection and fumigation.
Regret any action of county offic-
ers which may have disturbed you.
assure you of my cooperation and sup
port and hope you will send represen-
tatives here so we can give them full
information.
Governor Hunt said he is willing to
take the lead in urging a conference
because Arizona probably is most ex-
posed and most menaced by the out
break, due to its border position and
geographical location in the path of
