Norton, War- i"n McArthur, Warren l'eterson and i. S. Stapley. This group of Rood roads workers, which represented nearly everyi section of the v;il!y. after luncheon adjourned 10 the uireefurs' room f the l'hoenix 'hai.i!er of Commerce where the iiole 1 roads situation was frankly discussrd, the runjori'jr or those present f'-eliug tliat the time was opportune for constructing about ! miles of per manent highways through Maricopa county conic'ctim,' with the present peim.tnent roadways in such a manner as to provide a practical good roads system on which the farmers could move their crops to the shipping points without the great losses in transpor tation now incurred due to the wretch ed condition of the roads: Several speakers brought out the fact that Instead of being a burden, roads id' this character, constructed under the new highway commission law, should prove an investment to the people of Maricopa county. It was also show 11 that the labor necessary to con stnpl these roads would not interfere with the labor supply needed for the requited productive industries of the valley, and it was sfiown that if the construction of a system of concrete highways as outlined in the report of the committee having this matter in charge last spring, composed of Dr. A. J. Chandler, J. li. Cook, Itoy S. Good rich, and mvight H. Heard, were ap proved and a road building campaign undertaken whic h would result in the actual construction of about five miles id road every month, that not to exceed 4"U laborers would be required.' The majority of thosr present, after the discussion, felt that the time had nrrived to take advantage of the pro visions of the highway commission law, present tile necessary petitions to the board of supervisors, arrange for the appointment by the board of super visors nf a highway commission of five members, to the end that at the earliest possible date a definite proposition for a permanent highway system to be paid for by a bond issue, might be pre sented to the people; and as a result of the m,'ting a resolution was adopted authorizing the chairman of the meet ing. J. H. Cook, to appoint a com mittee of fivenncluding himself, to take charge of the necessary work in con nection with this matter, that the peo ple of the county, without delay, might have an opportunity to express them selves on the question of the good roadt bond issue. The committee appointed was com posed of J. K. Cook, Lindley B. Orme, Dr. A. 0. Chandler, J. T. Conduit and Warren McArthur, who will at once begin their work and within a short time have the petitions mr good roads circulated throughout the county, and assist in every way possible in develop ing this good roads plan along such lines as will insure prompt and eco nomical construction. All the men present recognized that nothing should bo done on good roads construction which would in any way hamper the government's campaign for Increased agricultural production, and it was felt a plan could bo devised which would meet with the thorough approval of the government. o Arizona Bulletin Shows In State 214 Breeders of Some of. Highest Classes of Stock Found Anywhere Still confident that the body of Ken neth C. Kalston is somewhere in the valley, Constable Roy Morrell will ap peal to the Indian agent at Kacaton to day to allow the several hundred Pimas on the reservation to join the exhaus tive search that Is being made by the authorities. Hen Kalston, brother of the man Tvho mysteriously dropped from view one week ago, has offered a reward of J 100 for information concerning his where abouts or for the finding of his ImmIv. Some time ago Falston offered a $10 reward but believing a more defter mined effort would be made if he ad vanced the sum, he now offers his hard earned dollars to anyone who ends the search which up to the present has revealed no trace of Kalston. The country was scoured yesterday as it was the day before and the pre ceding days. Both city and coui.itv of ficers as well as private citizera have gone over every foot of ground where there was the slightest likelihood the body could have been hidden. Although the authorities believe te coat and scarf of the victim which were found in the vicinity of the power hou.se on the Arizona canal were placed there with a view of misleading the officers, they nevertheless passed many hours in that vicinity yesterday going -over that stretch of country. Sheriff Wilky and Deputy Sheriff K J. Warren left town earlv yesterday morning over the Black Ciuiyon road. They circled the Black Canyon moun tains going , as far as the Union mine. Ben Falston with Iwvn McCann formed another searching party, pass ing hours along the Arizona canal, then north and east of the caniil and finally south of where the elothnag was found. Roy Morrell with Mike titrathy of the city police and former- Sheriff Jeff Adams labored in the man hunt for four miles west dragging the Salt River. Morrell stated ijst evening that he would leave town at an early hour thjs morning hoping wu secure the co operation of a large uumber of Pima Indians. He,, like tho brother of the missing man, scoffs ait the idea of suicide. Falston, his voice breaking, declared that Kenneth could not have taken his own life. 'Why he was getting stronger every day," he said. "It is true he came to Phoenix for his health, but he was never despondent s.bout it even when ill and he had improved so rapidly that I doubt if he ever -thought much about health. Had he intended Buicide he would surely not Itave draw n his money out of the bank nor would he have left town. No, I can not believe that theory nor is it nhared by the author ities. What I wunt is information and if I do not get i't soon " When he was. able to continue Fal ston said that he would give $100 for information about his brother "dead or alive." He feels confident that his brother has been murdered killed for the $300 he had drawn ..from the bank the day he disappeared. The reward offered is being held by Justice Franlc De Sotiza. ASSEMBLING OE SOLDI S T SIZABLE FIGUR E Getting First Quota Off for Cami) Cost In This State Alone $25,158.04 and Much "Work Was Free BE Bill SHOW GOOD AS EVER Introducing a new member of the company, a sure-'nouRh "coon shout er." and presenting the old favorites in favorable roles, the Kd Redmond com pany again scored last evening in a new production at tne Elks theater. The latest vehicle ha noth the at tractiveness of numerous situation and of unusual plot, an elixir of life theme which, work.ed out along comedy lines, presents afl sorts of exceptional and surprising situations. As Prof ssor Relya, the inventor of the elixir, Mr. Redmond has a capital part whiclj he carries off in his usual manner. The singing roles are rather stronger than in the average Redmond production, which is saying a good deal. There are 17 interpolations to make the skit go in lively fashion and they certainty do their part. Notable among them is Miss Dingwall's nirging of "l.a Palorr.a," Miss Deanes "Broadway Chicken Walk," "You Said Something," by Mins Hammond and the chorus, with electrical effects. Minor Reed's novelt ies, the hit made by Mr. Cochran "Dark town Strutter's Ball" and Kemp er's m ork with Miss Hammond and the girls, a transformation stunt, "My Lady of tine Telephone." Miss MeRae, the aforesaid "coot shouter" has a good charuce to show what she can do and makes the most of it. Some idea of the extent of the pure-bred livestock in Arizona may be secured from a brief bulletin just is sued by E. P. Taylor, director of the agricultural extension service of the state university, which in a partia list shows that there are not less than -'14 firms and individuals in Ari zona thus engaged. It is pointed out in this bulletin that it is not neces sary for the seeker after pure-bred stock of practically any kind to leave the confines of Arizona for even the comparatively unusual breeds are rep resented in the state already. There are, for instance, 41 breeders of pure blood Holsteins, while 28 are engaged in the breeding of high-classi Jersey cattle. There are 11 Hereford breeders and 8 breeders or pure blooded Duroc Jerseys and the Polanu China breeders number 13. High-class horses of all established types are to be found in the state. In the Perch eron class there are 8 breeders and in the fancy sheep classes there are 17 breeders. The bulletin states that the breed ers have been listed largely through the efforts of Dr. R. H. Williams, an imal husbandman of tha University of Arizona and G. W. Barnes, livestock specialist of the university extension Bervice. In his introduction Mr. Taylor says: "Arizona is fast reaching the stage when breeders within the state can supply the necessary pure bred breed ing stock to build up and maintain our livestock herds and flocks. There was a time when iit was necessary to se,ek for pure breeds without the state but in most cases highly satisfac tory, acclimated and adapted puro bred sires and dams can be bought from Arizona breeders. "The purpose of this circular is to provide a roster of Arizona breed ers of pure bred livestock so that per sons wishing to get in touch with such breders may do so, and so that breders themselves may be brought into closer touch with one another. The greatly increased cost of feed and livestock production is added ar gument for the pure blood animal adapted to its specific purpose. There is strong reason at this time for a vigorous culling of inferior animals with a substitution of only the high est producing pure breds. The pure bred sire should be urged even more strongly than before, now that effi cient production is being stressed. ' In circulating this roster of Ari zona breeders of pure bred livestock it is probable that some names have been omitted that should have been given, and some breeders listed may have disposed of their herds since their names were secured. The exten sion service .will appreciate notice of corrections that they may be observed in future publications of livestock lists and rosters." The list cannot fail to be of value for It shows breeders of pure-bloods in all parts of Arizona. It shows that there are 41 breeders of pure-blood Holsteins, 10 to Ayrshires, 9 of Guern seys, 28 of Jerseys, two of Dutch Belt, two of Brown Swiss, three of Red Polled 11 of Herefords and 8 of short horns; while in hogs there are 40 breeders of Duroc Jersevs, three of Berkshires, 13 of Poland Chinas, one of Hampshire, four of Tamworths and two of Mule-footed hogs. In horses, there are eight breeders of Percherons, one of Belgians, one of German coach horses, two of American trotters and one of Clydesdales While there are two breeders of Jacks and jennets. In the sheep classes there are two breeders of Cotswolds, three of Dorsets, five of Hampshires, two of Lincolns, four of Rambouillets, one of Tunis and three breeders of Angora goats. o WAR ANANIAS CLUBS Do not wait 'till tomorrow phone that WANT AD to The Republican anl dispose of, or get what you want.

The cost of raising Arizona's first quota of soldiers for the national army from the time the first move was made until they were turned over to the railroads for transportation to the training camps was J26.158.04, accord ing to a report made public yesterday by Colonel Fred S. Breen, disbursing officer for the selective draft for Ari zona. The report, which is up to and in cluding November 24, shows a per capita expense of J7.5S4 for raising Arizona's share of the new army, thus far. Other states are sending in like reports which when received will make interesting comparisons. The total expense of District No. 1, comprising the eight northern coun ties of the state, is J 12,304.40, or a per capita of $7.60. The expense of District No. 2, comprising the six southern counties, is $12,176.33, or a per capita expense of $6,946. These also are up to the delivery of the men to the railroads. To Cochise county goes the honor of furnishing that county's quota of sol diers at the least per capita expense to Uncle Sam. This Was made possi ble through the gratuitous labor given the local board by those anxious to do their bit. The expense of selecting the 674 men from that county was J1.1S0.17, or a per capita of only $1,751. Gila county takes second honors with a per capita expense of only $3,786 for the 518 men selected from that county. Yuma. Yavapai, and Greenlee counties ran a close race for third place, but finish in that order with per capitas of $4,104 $4,901 and $4,966. Navajo county's per capita is the greatest being $13,853 for her 99 men. Pima is next largest with $11,826, and Coconino third largest with $11.39. The total cost of selecting the men for . the first quota in the different counties is as follows: Apay.e, $440.71; Cochise. $1,150.17; Cocono, $615.06; Gila, $1,961.16; Gra ham, $745.21; Greenlee, $799.52; Mari copa, $4,333.10: Mohave, $1,165.94; Navajo, $1,371.44; Pima, $3,441.36; Pinal, $S41.49: Santa Cruz. $795.15; Yavapai. $2,073.12; Yuma. $508.89. The expense of conducting the state headquarters during the selecting of the men of the first draft and up to date is $1,444.35. The total expense of District Board No. 1 is $1,065.30, and of District Board No. 2 is $3,374.52. Following is the per capita cost in the different counties for selecting the men for the national army: Number Per County of Men Capita Apache 55 $ 8.0)3 Cochise 674 1.751 Coconino 54 11.390 Gila 518 3.786 Graham 114 6.537 Greenlee 161 4.966 Maricopa 598 7.246 Mohave in 10.504 Navajo 99 13.853 Pima 291 11.826 Pinal 155 5.429 Santa Cruz 95 8.37 lavapai 423 4.901 Yuma 124 4.104 Average for state 3,472 $ 7.534 Figures showing the per capita ex pense of selecting the men from the different counties for the national army do not tell a story of efficiency, inefficiency, carelessness or thrift, ac cording to the officials in charge of the selective draft law operation in this state. Conditions differ in the coun ties and tend in some to cause a larger expense than in others. Also in the counties where a small quota was rurnished, the per capita runs much higher than in counties that gave a large quota, as the necessary ma chinery for the selecting of the men had to be supplied, although the "out put" of soldiers was small. To a person who has seen little or nothing of the vast amount of labor expended in selecting Arizona's first quota of soldiers for the national army comes no comprehension of the amount the government would have had to pay for this work, if none had given his services free or at a low price. it is estimated that millions of dol lars have thus been saved to the gov ernment, but in the call sent out for gratuitous labor it is reminded that every dollar must "do Its duty on the tiring line. i.verv person who thus gave his or her services free in this work of selecting the first quota of men for the national army is to be recognized in a communication of thanks direct from the president, a memento that in after years will be exhibited with pride. o CHEERFULNESS And being well dressed are inexpensive habits.

Griffith's latest spectacle, "In tolerance," which will appear at the Columbia theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week is such an extraordinary theatrical offering that words fail to convey any idea of its magnitude and grandeur its marvelous spectacular effects, its human interest and its amazing reproduction of histor ical events. In "Intolerance." there are four separate stories, each with its own set of characters. Ancient Babylon, Judea of the time of Christ, Paris dur ing the reign of Charles IX and a mod ern American city are the scenes of these stories. Such film stars as Mae Marsh. Robert Herron, Seena Owen, Margerv Wilson Miriam Cooper, Lil lian Gish, Tully' Marshall, and Bessie Love have the Vading roles. A fea ture of the profiction is the musical score which is interpreted by a sym nhonv orchestra of 30. For the past six mXiths this Griffith masterpiece has been playing to crowded houses at the Liberty theater. New York. Long runs in Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francis co and Los Angeles also evidence it; remarkable popularity. Douglas Fairbanks at Lamara Douglas Fairbanks opens a three days' engagement today at the Lamara appearing in his latest Artcraft offer ing, "Down to Earth." This announce ment will be more than well received by the hundreds of his ardent admirers in the city, but when the further an nouncement is made that the story was written by himself, they will rea lize that a special treat is in store for them. To those who read "Laugh and Live" the philosophy of life a la Fair banks is an open book. Sunshine and fresh air, optimism and getting "down to earth" is his gospel of living. The present production might well be termed the screen adaptation of tLaugh and Live" for it deals with the same theme, picturized amid a riot of fun. His characters are ail so fine ly drawn that they are recognized as people in the every day walks of life, and the fun so contagious that it has been reviewed as the greatest combi nation of material ever blended into a scenario.

As they breathed in the whirl of dust blown up by the train ar.d imag ined rather than saw the mirages be yond, their enthusiasm was hard to un derstand unless one happened to be a native of Arizona. In spite of the incredible altitudes to which the mercury is wont to climb, even when concealed in the shade. Ari zona has its charms for any lover of the immensity of nature. To look down from the heights upon the splendour of a sunset in the desert of the south west, to see the rich clouds rolled up en the horizon and tinted with the glory of a thousand spreading colors, the floating fields of purple along the valleys, and the soft, enveloping silence of the great outdoors at dusk, pry's open the soul of any normal person. Add to this the distant love-call of the quail, and a little bunch of moun tain posies symbolizing human love, and you have an idea of the scenes in which Olive Thomas, elusive and be witching as a mirage, plays the part of a kidnapped actress in "Broadway, Arizona," a new Triangle film triumph to be shown at the Columbia today. Emily Stevens at the Empress Today the Empress will inaugurate the newly acquired Metro program at this house with an auspicious offering in the personage of Emily Stevens, ap pearing in "A Sleeping Memory." Miss Stevens comes by her dramatic talent as a natural course of events. Being the niece of the celebrated actress, Mrs. Fiske under whose personal sup ervision she received her early train ing, it is but natural that she should develop into one of the foremost dra matic stars in pictures. The present vehicle is a story of a soul's adventures through the ages, and demands that the gifted star portray several different characters of women, both good and evil, not only of the present day, but of the different periods throughout the history of the world.

OOLUMBIA SPECIAL TODAY "BROADWAY ARIZONA" With OLIVE THOMAS Best Bet This Year Alice Joyce at the Hip An "Alabaster Box" is the title of the Vitagraph picture which opens this morning at the Hip for two days run. It features Marc MacDermott and Al ice Joyce and discloses a highly inter esting and unusual picture theme. A young girl, Alice Joyce, attempts to make restitution to the people of a lit tle town where the speculations of her father ruined the people. Hatred is still in the breasts of the townspeople for even the daughter of the man who brought ruin on the little city and it is with this the girl has to deal. The return of her father from his prison sentence is discovered by the towns people and a riot occurs when he is in discreet enough to try and visit the scenes of his early triumphs.
