1926 scenic photo contest, in which cash
prizes of 500 and other awards will be
given the winners. With less than one
week left, the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce and Mines and the state in
dustrial congress are urging that every
citizen who has taken scenic photos of
any sort this year enter them in the
competition. w
Those in charge of the contest are
particularly anxious to obtain good
films from which pictures may be taken
to advertise Arizona throughout the
United States = in publicity articles,
booklets and displays. New scenic
photographs are more.lthan needed for
this purpose = they are badly needed,
and for this reasoni every effort is be-
ing made to bring in a large collection.
Any photograph of a scenic nature,
taken anywhere in Arizona this year,
and taken by anyone who is not pro-
fessional photographer, may be entered
IN the contest. contestants may enter
as many pictures as they choose; in
fact, a special prize is offered for the
best group entered by any person.
Photos may be turned in through the
chamber of commerce or sent to the
Arizona Industrial congress in Phoe-
nix, and should be accompanied by the
negatives. Films will be returned as
soon as extra prints can be made for
advertising purposes.
The contest should be unusually at
tractive from the prize standpoint, in
view of the fact that anyone may COM
pete without trouble or expense other
than merely turning in the photo
graphs. Four cash prizes of $50, $25,
SIS and SO will be awarded for the
best individual scenic pictures entered
the first prize will also carry hand
some silver loving cup; and the person
entering the best group of three or
moro photos will receive an Ansco
camera set. Judging will be done by a
statewide committee, and results prob
ably will be announced by the middle
of next month.

Democrats Begin Their
Vituperation Campaign
Against the Republicans

WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (AP)-The
republican party is engaged In a
program of Inconsistencies and is
headed for defeat, Seantor Bayard of
Delaware, treasurer Of the democratic
senatorial campaign committee, said
in statement here tonight, review
ing issues of the campaign.
"The country is awaiting our speak
ers to spread the democratic doctrine
to the people," he said. eve be-
lieve that when the facts are put
before the voters that the democratic
viewpoint. will prevail
"The republicans have been bank
ing on Coolidge popularity but are
now are trying to sell the president
personally to the country through 81
press agent-Bruce Barton-who is
best known as the author of the
book The Man Nobody Knows This
is simply an effort to draw a red
herring across, the trail of the dis
NAL record of the complete failure Of
the so-called Presidential Program
Another claim rof the republican is
prosperity. but still, we find the cam
paign orators of the republican party
telling the farmer and textile in
dustries that the way to relieve their
depression is to vote to retain the
republican party in power so that
remedial legislation can be passed
"The republicans are making
a claim for purity in politics and yet
endorsing the candidates nominated
by wholesale corruption in the prI-
maries.
'The admission by the administra.
ton of the surplus in the treasury
which is caused by still continuing
war taxation, also brings from then.
a howl that this is the time for tax
reduction.
"The countryside demand of the
people for tariff revision, and of
course they mean revision downward
is met by the statement Of Chair
mans Edtler Of the republican national
committee that the tariff ought to
be revised but upward.
Thus is seems to me that the re-
publicans are advocating inconsis-
.tencies and are carrying on what
might be styled paradoxial cam
paign,"

Pamphlets Describe the

ing pamphlets carrying questions to
be submitted to popular vote in the
November election One constitu-
tional amendment will prohibit the
candidacy of persons who have served
two consecutive terms, with excep-
tions of members of the legislature

for bond issue of $10,000,O0O for
permanent Improvement of the main
highways and for general state con-
troll of roads.
The second, backed especially by
Secretary of State j. H. Kerby, pro-
vides for the creation of motor
vehicle department, with a commits
sioner who is to be appointed by
the secretary of state. The main
feature of the proposed act is that
registration of a motor vehicle and
collection of a fee shall except the
vehicle from all other county and

DID YOU SEE A
METEOR SEPT. q

On Thursday evening, September %,
at S:56 O'Clock, there was seen at the
Steward observatory very brilliant
meteor or shooting star more brilliant
than any star or planet in the sky. The
Steward observatory is very anxious to
obtain reports of this meteor from as
many observers as possible, hence this
notice is being given wide publicity In
the state All persons who saw this
meteor are requested to send in as
much information about it as they can
and in particular to answer as fully as
possible the following questions:
l. What was the time of your OBJ
servation?
2. Describe your location as accur-
ately as possible, with reference to
places and objects which can be found
on a good map of the district.
8. Describe the direction of fall of
the meteor. Did it approach the hori-
zon in a vertical path or at slant?
Indicate if possible by making sketch
showing the path of the meteor and
the horizon
4. In what part of the sky did the
meteor appear, or in what direction,
nent objects, did you see it? If you
know the consultations make draw
ing to show the path of the meteor
among the stars. This is the best way
to locate the meteor But very good
substitute is to tell the direction in
which the meteor appeared, referring
it to near or distant hills, mountains or
other objects that can be located upon
a map If you locate the meteor in
this manner, make an estimate of the
height from the horizon to overhead.
S. Describe as fully as possible the
trail left by the meteor, with any draw
ings you care to send. How long was
the trail; how many seconds did it last?
How bright was it compared with the
stars, and what part of the trail was
the brightest? Did you observe the
meteor to split in two or more parts,
or to explode?
"A shooting star is not a real star,
but simply a piece of rock or metal
falling to the earth from outside space
at a high speed and heated to incan-
descence by friction with our atmo-
sphere. Any information that you can
send will be of scientific value in, de-
termining what part of space this
shooting star came from and with what
speed, etc. If you cannot answer all
the above questions, answer as many
as you can as accurately as you can.
Your assistance will be appreciated,
and all information received will be
duly acknowledged.

Firemen Called Out in Rain
Find Only Fire in Furnace

The building formerly occupied by
the Daily international Publishing
company at 537 Twelfth street, was
thought to be threatened for a .seconG
time during the storm Monday wnen
at II p. m. the local fire department
responded to a call turned in when
passers-by saw clouds Of smoke aris-
ing from the rear of the building.
Upon closer inspection, the smok>
was found to be coming from a Chin
ney in the rear of the building, but
men forced entrance, believing that
waste materials in the building had
been ignited and that the smoke was
taking it's only availabl exit.
A quantity of paper and rubbish
was found burning in brick furnace.
1t was learned that G. S. Cowden
had arranged Monday morning to
store his car in, the rear of the
building and it is thought possible
that he may have had the place
cleaned placing the rubbish in ths
furnace.
Earlier in the day a portion of tho
esat wall 70 the building fell OUT
ward, the falling debris crashing to
the ground only a few feet from
Jesse Mattingly, an enlDloye of the
Douglas Daily Dispatch, who hap
pened to be passing. 1t is believed
the rain saturated the upper section
of the wall, effecting it's eventual
decomposition.

ARIZONA INCLUDED
IN U. S. STATISTICS
REGISTRATION, AREA

Arizona has been included in the
United States vital statistics regis
tration area, and Douglas had an
important part in making. this for
ward step possible Several months
ago, the Douglas postoffice sent out
cards requesting the registration of
births and deaths IN this city, at
the same time that similar cards
were sent out by all postof1ices in
the state. More than 90 per cenz OF
the cards sent out here were filled
in and mailed to Washington as re-
quested,
Notice that ArIzona h5.S been IN
cluded in the registered area was
sent by the United States bureau of
census to Dr. F. T. Fahlen, state
superintendent of public health.
To be included in the registration
area the vital statistics kept by q
state must exceed 80 per, cent regis
tration of the actual births and
deaths. The recent check made
showed that the vital statistics sbu-
reau for the state was registratlng
better than 80 per cent and the
state was admitted to the area.
statement reSdruluS IHS dulllo-
sion of the state to the United
States registration area was issued
by DR.. Fahlen and is as follows:
For several years the state board
of health has had in view more
complete registration or pirtns ana
deaths. With the idea of bettering
the registration, or conforming 70
the standards adopted in practically
all other states in the union, a mode!
vital statistics law was placed be-
fore the legislature in 1924 are
passed, becoming a law in that year.
This law has proven very effective
in obtaining the registration of
births and Deaths and has worked
out to the satisfaction of everyone.
This is shown by the fact tnat we
are now getting over 90 per cent
registration of both births and deaths
in the state.
"The idea of the vital statistics
law was to ultimately get the state
of Arizona in the registration area
cf the United States and to have
the registration figures Of this de-
partment accepted by the federai

DOUGLAS BISBEE
HIGHWAY CLOSED
TO ALL TRAVEL

Al II o'clock Monday night with the
rain still falling internationally, Off
cials supervising the control work at
the concrete bridge over the Aqua
Prieta or White river just west of
Douglas made their final inspection for
The night and decided that the bridge
and it's approaches would hold. At that
time the water had receded some two
feet and was not running over the
pavement as it had done for hours ear
lier in the evening.
The traffic blockade which was es-
tablished shortly before dark Monday
afternoon was partially lifted and cars
were being permitted to cross the
bridge ''at their own risk" under direc-
tions from the four special deputies on
guard.
During the afternoon Monday the
waters rose rapidly and all connection
with the Calumet and Arizona smelter
was lost by O'Clock, except by way
of the railroad trestle. At 5 o'clock,
under directions from county super
visors acting in behalf of the state
highway department and Deputy Sher-
iffs Morris and Hayhurst, the blockade
was established.
The danger was deemed to be more
serious on account of the hundreds of
cars bringing sightseers, many of them
wanting to drive onto the bridge and
stop. 1t was feared at that time THAT
some car would back off of the high
embankment into the swirling waters
beneath For two hours the blockade
was rigidly maintained and no cars
were permitted within the Gordon
drawn about the bridgehead
At that time the water was running
across the highway west of the bridge
in a swift stream some 80 yards wide
and nearly two feet deep and it was
expected that the approach at that end
might give way at any moment.
James Randolph, famous dirt track
speed king upon being Informed thai
he could not cross the highway bridge
turned his car across the clats and
took to the railroad, driving steadily
and finally disappearing west after
crossing the trestle of the Southern
Pacific tracks.
J. p. Sexton, superintendent of the
Arizona Edison company, who inspected
the highway bridge in an official ca
pacity as an engineer, stated that he
did not believe the bridge would go out
and the general opinion early Tuesday
lmorning was that unless the rains con-
tinued it would hold The guards were
retained throughout last night, how.
ever, in case of emergency and to war;
motorists of the water.
