CONVICT LABOR EMPLOYED

Phoenix = Road building by
convict labor is be resumed in
the stare after several years dur.
ing which time the convicts in
the state penitentiary were not
used in such work, it was an
nounced by Governor Hunt fol-
lowing his return from Globe
and to the prison at Florence.
The announcement followed a
conference held Saturday at
Florence between r. B. Sims of
the prison, when it was decided
to use convict labor in rebuild
ing about fifty miles of the old
Hunt hig ghvay between Chand.
Ter and Florence. The highway,
it was stated, was abandoned
some years ago.
Improvement of this highway
which gradually came into dis
use through the building of a
road between Mesa and Flor
ence by way of Florence juno
ton will materially shorten the
distance between Phoenix and
Tucson, it was stated, and at the
same time furnish road to the
residents OF the south side of
the Roosevelt irrigation District,
the rapid development of which
has created a demand for a road
through the district southeast of
Chandler.
The highway to be improved
with convict labor starts on the
north side of the Gila river, a
few miles from Florence and
after skirting Poston Butte and
the northern slope of the San
Tan mountains, runs in direct
line for Chandler. It's estimat
ed the new road will cut eff
about 20 miles between Phoenix
and Tucson.
Two reasons are given for the
decision to use convict labor in
road building in the state, one
being lack of funds for road
building purposes and the other
the lack of work for about 200
OF the convicts at the prison. 1t
was decided at the conference
to establish a road camp along
the unused highway and to use
highway equipment in building
the road with convicts from the
prison.

GRADE CROSSINGS.

The elimination of grade cross
ings of railroads and highways
is matter of great interest now
that so many people are being
killed daily while trying to beat
train to grade crossing. 1t
might be argued that the fool
drivers get what is coming to
them, but that is not the point
and is not we'll taken as an argu
ment. On the other hand, it is
argued, and to good advantage.
that it is the duty of a city, coun.
ty, state and the United States
government to protect the peo
pile as a whole by doing away
with grade crossings of this kind
as rapidly as possible.
This situation had reached
such a vital point in New York
state that the people, at the re
gular November election last
month, voted three hundred mil
lions of dollars that the work of
elimination might be done at the
earliest moment.

TUCSON LEAD CROSSES HOAX

Tucson-That the lead crosses
and implements recently un
earthed in Tucson and purport
ing to date back to the eighth
century show no more indication
of being ancient than would a
cake of modern soap be an auto
mobile. axle found imbedded in
caliche, was the statement made
here today by Dr.. Frederick Ia.
Der Cooper, formerly editor of
The Forum, and a scholar of
Greek, Latin, Sanskritt and an.
cient Persian. DR.. Cooper is
the first expert to declare the
artifacts hoaxes after a personal
examination.
The vocabulary of the in
scriptions found on the Tucson
artifacts is not that of the eighth
century, their purported date, "
DR.. Cooper said. 1T is not only
hoax, but clumsy one.

'Brittania' were impossible in
