The people of Arizona are reeling from the incredible news that fearless and legendary Arizona Ranger Jeff Kidder was gunned down two weeks ago in the streets of a squalid Sonoran border town. Kidder and two other rangers, Doc Johnson and John Quincy Vanderbilt III, were hot on the trail of notorious Mexican bandit leader and rustler Efumio Vaquero when their search took them to the town of Naco. According to Vanderbilt, the sole member of the ranger party to return safely to the United States, the lawmen were working from a description of Vaquero and a tip regarding his movements, both of which were provided by a paid informant. The rangers established a surveillance site on a rooftop overlooking the main street of Naco. Before long their vigilance was seemingly rewarded when they observed a solitary gunman who fit Vaquero's description exactly, strolling toward them from the opposite end of the street. Losing no time, the three rangers descended to the street below and mounted their waiting horses, intent on apprehending the unsuspecting bandit and carrying him out of town without attracting the attention of the Mexican municipal police. In the ensuing struggle as Kidder and Johnson attempted to overpower Vaquero and muscle him across Vanderbilt's saddle, the bandit broke free and fled down the street and around a corner. Kidder and Johnson pursued on foot while Vanderbilt remained with the horses. Overtaking the Mexican assumed to be Vaquero, Kidder bulldogged him across the back of the head with his pistol barrel, dropping the bandit in his tracks.

Several patrolling municipal policemen became alarmed at the obvious altercation in the street and began sounding their whistles. Vanderbilt insists he shouted "Arizona Rangers! Do not interfere!" at the policemen several times. Nevertheless, he saw several of the police draw their revolvers and more police and at least one Federale soldier were converging on the main street from all directions.

Suddenly disaster struck the rangers. The real Efumio Vaquero, who did not match the description the rangers had been given, emerged from behind a truck parked near the municipal police station and began firing at Kidder and Johnson who were preoccupied with the prostrate decoy "Vaquero." The leader of the party, Jeff Kidder, dropped in the initial hail of lead with a round blue hole in his forehead and the back blown out his head. Doc Johnson managed to return fire, but was badly wounded almost immediately and lost consciousness. Two of Arizona's finest lay motionless in the filthy Sonoran street.

John Quincy Vanderbilt III maintains he could see Kidder was obviously dead and Johnson was down, probably dead. He had, nevertheless, determined to turn his horse about and come to their aid when the police, perhaps emboldened by Vaquero's success, opened fire upon him. Vanderbilt returned fire, wounding and dropping the policemen who had initiated the fusillade. It was clear now nothing could be done for Kidder or Johnson and the odds Vanderbilt would not make it out of Naco alive were mounting with the arrival of every new policeman and the appearance of Federale riflemen. Reluctantly, he spurred his horse and fled the killing fields on the streets of Naco.

We are indebted to the selflessness of Vanderbilt in overcoming the natural urge to stay and shoot it out, avenging his fallen comrades. Instead we can be thankful he survived to bear witness to the last heroic minutes of Ranger Jeff Kidder and to the loathsome betrayal by the Mexican authorities in the streets of Naco. Readers must ask themselves, why were Kidder, Johnson, and Vanderbilt in Sonora in the first place? Was it not in order to bring law and order to a lawless and chaotic land? Had the Mexican authorities of strongman Porifirio Daiz's regime not already proven themselves incapable or unwilling to protect the innocent from the depredations of the likes of Vaquero? When Vaquero and his bandits spread the violence and disorder north into Arizona, were Kidder and the rangers not justified, indeed honor bound, to stamp out the disease at its source? Now the legendary Jeff Kidder rides no more. Doc Johnson lies horribly wounded in a Sonoran jail. What is Porifirio Diaz going to do about it? What are we going to do about it?

One final mystery remains, who tipped off the bandit Vaquero and arranged for the spurious description that cost the rangers so dearly? There are rumors self-styled "General" Alvaro Obregon may have been behind the tip to Vaquero. Obregon, suspected by some as harboring socialist and anti-American sentiments, has not been shy about criticizing the Diaz regime for not standing up to foreign interference with Mexican sovereignty. He is now reportedly operating in Sonora and may have been involved in the horrendous explosive locomotive incident in Cananea. There are also rumors he is attempting to foment unrest among the volatile and disaffected Yaqui tribes surrounding Naco and bordering Arizona. We wonder how the Arizona Rangers will seek justice for their fallen heroes.

The situation in Sonora continues to deteriorate and it seems no one's safety is assured! Following closely on the heels of labor unrest and revolutionary violence at the Consolidated Copper Company Mines of Col. William Greene and the recent railway bombings in San Bernardino and Nogales, Mexico, a fresh disaster with a new twist unfolded last month in Cananea. A locomotive packed with explosives was sent careening down the tracks into the rail depot at Cananea. The resultant explosion caused horrific carnage among the unsuspecting passengers awaiting the regularly scheduled arrival of the daily express from Agua Prieta. Garbled reporting from the scene suggests large numbers of civilian casualties, including some Americans!

While accounts of the disaster remain sketchy, it appears the regularly scheduled express from Agua Prieta was commandeered somewhere north of Cananea by revolutionaries posing as passengers. No group has claimed responsibility, but several eyewitnesses report having seen self-styled revolutionary "General" Alvaro Obregon transfer at Agua Prieta onto the southbound daily express to Cananea. The notorious bandit Claro Reza was also identified as having been a passenger. Perhaps a more detailed picture will emerge when noted American film director Onslow Faust and his newsreel crew return with their reportedly spectacular footage of the train seizure and the subsequent carnage in Cananea. American audiences are already thrilling to Faust's footage of the railway attack in San Bernardino last month and are clamoring for more!

Following the explosive locomotive incident in Cananea, Federale cavalry units converged on the city, abandoning their regular patrols along the rail lines to the north and south. As a result, the forces of self-styled revolutionary "General" Pascal Orozco were able to prepare an ambush for the train transferring a number of his followers, captured last month during the wave of violence engulfing the Consolidated Copper Company, to the prison in the Sonoran state capital Hermosillo. The train was stopped and assaulted south of Cananea by Orozco and his forces. The resultant gun battle involved Orozquistas, Mexican municipal police guards on the train, Federale cavalry, and reportedly private detectives in the employ of Col. William Greene. Reports of the incident are terribly muddled, but it appears the police and Federales mistakenly engaged Thomson's detectives, ultimately allowing the prisoners to escape in the resultant confusion. Orozco and his forces were last reported moving northeasterly from Cananea toward San Bernardino, raiding Haciendas along the way for cattle and weapons.

As if guided by some unseen hand, Colonel Emilio Kosterlitzky and his Rurales were on hand immediately after each fresh disaster, usually too late to intercede. They seem to be everywhere and nowhere in time. The Diaz regime appears only capable of reacting to the ever-increasing cycle of violence and disorder in Sonora.

Reports emerging from the Mexican border town of Guzman reveal self-styled "General" Francisco "Pancho" Villa was wounded in a shoot-out with the bandit Claro Reza. In the dramatic high noon-style confrontation, Villa burst through the doors of a local ice cream parlor into the blinding Mexican sun that beat down on Guzman's main street and challenged Reza to a gunfight. Reza, who was in company with another bandit and Orozquista, Cohones Comacho, responded not by squaring off for the duel, but by lighting and hurling a stick of dynamite at Villa. Unfortunately for Reza, the dynamite dribbled from his hand and landed almost at his own feet. Had it not been for the quick thinking of Comacho, Reza would probably have ended his days right there in the sunny Guzman street. Instead, Comacho fearlessly kicked the sizzling stick of dynamite toward the incredulous Villa. The subsequent explosion heavily damaged the boardwalk and the façade of the ice cream parlor, wounding Villa slightly with a splinter in the chest and propelling him backwards through the swinging doors into the parlor. A somewhat dazed and now outraged Villa struggled back to his feet and began blazing away at Reza, who returned fire and beat a hasty retreat down a side ally next to the ice cream parlor. The stalwart Comacho provided covering fire for the fleeing Reza while seeking cover himself behind some freight situated on the boardwalk opposite the parlor and the enraged Villa. Unfortunately for Comacho, Villa recovered his equilibrium quickly and seriously wounded the Orozquista, ending the gunfight. Claro Reza, while not covering himself in glory, did manage to escape uninjured and remains at large.

Questions abound regarding the reason for the showdown. Until now, it was generally believed Reza worked for Villa, although he has been seen recently in the company of self-styled "General" Alvaro Obregon. When asked about the violent encounter, General Felipe Angeles explained Reza had been discovered to be working as a secret informant for the Rurales. Angeles maintains the Diaz regime is using agent provocateurs like Reza to infiltrate the moderate ranks of the Maderistas and to bring discredit upon the anti-reelectionist movement in general. In Reza's case specifically, Angeles said Villa had discovered he was involved in a number of recent railway bombings, resulting in horrendous carnage and innocent deaths. President Porifirio Diaz and his regime have blamed these attacks in Nogales, Mexico and at Cananea on the followers of Madero. Angeles pointed out that in some instances non-Villista revolutionary forces in Sonora have attacked the railway infrastructure, but the rail bombings of Reza in Nogales and those of the Orozquista bandit Comacho in San Bernardino in recent months were probably actually at the behest of Diaz. Angeles reiterated General Villa's commitment to protecting the Mexican people and legitimate foreign interests from the excesses of lawlessness and anarchy threatening to engulf northern Mexico. He pointed to the relatively secure and orderly state of affairs in Chihuahua as an example of how Villa has successfully filled the void left by the crumbling and corrupt Diaz regime. Why, Angeles asked, is Diaz reinforcing Ciudad Chihuahua with Huerta's Federale cavalry while the situation in Sonora and Baha California is spiraling out of control?

The brewing unrest and discontent in Mexico has finally erupted into what many feel could be a full-scale revolution against longtime presidential strongman Porifirio Diaz and his regime. Opposition leader Francisco Madero fled Mexico in November, having been released from prison by Diaz. On November 20,1910 Madero issued his revolutionary plan from the safety of the United States Known as the Plan of San Luis Potosi, Madero's road map for revolution names him provisional President of Mexico and calls for a general uprising against Diaz. Also included in the plan are provisions for political reform: non-reelection of either the president or other powerful officials, genuinely free elections, a free press, and an independent judiciary. The plan contains few clauses dealing with social reform and only one paragraph deals with the peasantry.

With only 25,000 troops in the federal army, it is impossible for President Diaz to adequately cover every potential revolutionary hotspot throughout Mexico. He seems focused on crushing the revolutionary movement in Chihuahua. Diaz is repositioning some 5,000 federal army troops there, including the cavalry units recently moved to Ciudad Chihuahua by General Huerta. He also named Alberto Terrazas, son of the all-powerful Luis Terrazas and son-in-law of the equally powerful Enrique Creel, as the new Governor of Chihuahua. Diaz undoubtedly hopes the Terrazas and Creel families will be able to mobilize loyal retainers on their vast estates in Chihuahua to augment the over extended Federal army in putting down the insurrection. The new governor reported on January 7 that he was already setting up groups of volunteers to fight the revolutionaries in villages throughout the district. The Terrazas-Creel patriarchs seem confident they will receive the support of the lesser Haciendado families with their peons and retainers as well.

Only time will tell what direction the revolution will take. For the present, Madero remains in the relative safety of the United States. Others, such as Pascal Orozco, are carrying the banner to the south where Diaz seems incapable of containing the violence in Sonora.

The governments of Mexico and the state of Sonora are faced with continuing problems posed by the Yaqui Indians. This intransigent Indian tribe has proved to be a thorn in the side of local and Federal Mexican authorities since before "colonization" of the Yaqui Valley began in the 1880s.

After putting down several armed Indian uprisings aimed at Yaqui independence, the Mexican government adopted a policy of banishing problematic Yaquis to the Yucatan to be put to work in the huge henequen plantations which provide the raw materials for rope making. Those Yaquis that agreed to support Mexican rule were allowed to stay, but were soon forced from their historical lands when the Yaqui River Valley was divided up and sold off to American growers and industrialists starting in the 1890s.

Forced from their lands and unwilling to be shipped off to virtual slavery in the far south of Mexico, the Yaquis either retreated into the Sierra as guerillas or left to find work in the mines and railroads of Sonora and Arizona. Many also found work at the cattle producing haciendas. These hardworking Indians became valued as a fine source of cheap labor by capitalists on both sides of the border.

Over the last few years, Yaqui laborers have been accused by the Mexican authorities of supplying the still rebellious Sierra guerillas with money and firearms and of providing these insurgents with shelter and protection from pursuing Mexican soldiery. The Diaz government believes that many Yaquis may be actively engaged in fomenting unrest in Sonora as well.

In an attempt to stem support for the rebels in the Sierras and put an end to Yaqui dreams of a reestablished homeland, the Mexican government is now engaged in rounding up all the Yaquis from Sonora and shipping them South to join the banished laborers in the Yucatan. The American government has been persuaded to gather and deport the Yaquis from U. S. Border regions as well.

It is unclear what effect this will have on the troubled state of Sonora. Although there are other ready sources for Mexican miners and railroad workers, it is reported that many of the "Haciendados" are very angry with the government for "robbing" them of their primary labor force. With unrest in Mexico already at an all time high, can the Diaz government afford to further anger the Sonoran Yaquis and the Haciendados? It is believed outrage over the government's interference could cause prominent "Sonorans" such as the Maytorena and the Morales families to turn against the Diaz regime and spread unrest rather than end it.

The editorial staff of the Bisbee Review recently obtained a number of Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) documents clearly revealing the violent, revolutionary objectives of this socialist and subversive organization masquerading as a labor union. Taken in their entirety, these internal publications leave no doubt the members of the IWW, also known as "Wobblies," seek to destroy our American way of life and enslave us in a socialist dictatorship. Instead of seeking "a fair day's wages for a fair day's work" the Wobblies are committed to "abolition of the wage system." They unabashedly claim "the working class and the employing class have nothing in common" and their aim is to create a world where workers in each major industry all belong to the same union and these industrial unions run society. They advocate the violent overthrow of everything we hold dear and no man, women or child in Bisbee is safe while the Wobblies continue to grow and organize.

Let those who would dispute the devilish purpose of the Wobblies look no further than the IWW's secret Little Red Song Book. The following lyrics taken from a Wobblie favorite hymn should leave our readers with no doubts or illusions about the real intentions of the IWW:

Let the gentle Jesus bless your dynamite.

Splinter skulls with shrapnel, fertilize the sod,
Folks who do not speak your tongue deserve the curse of God

Smash the doors of every home, pretty maiden seize;
Use your might and sacred right to treat her as you please."

Do not be deceived by the moderate claims of other unions! They are all part of the same plot under the overarching banner of the IWW! The Western Federation of Miners would have us believe they stand apart from the radicalism of the IWW. Have our readers forgotten the speech made by Western Federation President Edward Boyce at their annual convention in 1897? The Bisbee Review has not. Here is just a sample of what President Boyce had in mind for us all even then: "Every union should have a rifle club. I strongly advise you to provide every member with the latest improved rifle….I entreat you to take action on this important question, so that in two years we can hear the inspiring music of the martial tread of 25,000 armed men in the ranks of labor." The Bisbee Review has evidence the IWW is preparing caches of arms and ammunition in the hills surrounding Bisbee with the express intention of supplying an armed insurrection when the time is right.

Big Bill Haywood is recruiting followers and subverting decent workingmen in order to swell the ranks of discontent The copper mines of Arizona have become his recruiting grounds and when he decides the time is ripe, he will unleash the dogs of class war upon us all. Already the internationalists in his organization are creating the chaos and revolution across the border to our south that will be the precondition for the coming revolution in our midst! His operatives are already at work in Cananea, targeting Col. William Greene's interests. Americans are not safe in Mexico. Soon they will not be safe at home! Again we ask the authorities, WHAT IS BEING DONE TO CRUSH THE IWW AND PROTECT OUR WAY OF LIFE?

WORKERS OF AMERICA!

It has been 45 years, nearly half a century, since slavery was abolished under American law. Yet workers all across America and her colonial empire still are treated as slaves by the industrialist overlords who line their own pockets with gold, while keeping the workers in a state of degradation and poverty.

Now a GOOD MAN, a BRAVE MAN, a LEADER, who has dared to speak out against the depravity of the capitalist system that seeks to hold all workers as slaves, sits rotting in a tiny cell in Cananea, guilty of nothing more than opposing the evil economic system that seeks to destroy the pride, and curtail the power of workers everywhere.

WORKERS OF MEXICO!

You continue to be treated as SLAVES by the American capitalists, who come to your country like great leeches, intent on sucking the lifeblood from Mexico and her people. They give workers nothing but crumbs in return for your honorable labor. You are kept so hungry, you take their meager offerings gratefully.

Now a fellow worker stands accused of heinous crimes. He was hungry like you! He dared to ask for more than CRUMBS! He now stands accused by his American capitalist oppressors! Accused for standing up for his fellow workers! Accused for being a brown skinned little lead figure instead of a white one! Accused for wanting a better future for the People of Mexico!

SCAPEGOAT!

Sammy D. is a SCAPEGOAT! Col. William Greene's Scapegoat! Greene hopes to save his crumbling business empire by silencing those who would speak out for workers rights! As workers everywhere DEMAND an end to economic slavery, Greene seeks to keep them down, using his influence and money to make an example of Sammy D He hopes that Sammy's plight will frighten his fellow laborers into SUBMISSION!

What horrors will be meted out to this BRAVE WORKER at the hands of his oppressors? WHO WILL NEXT STAND ACCUSED?

Workers, will you let Col. Greene and his thugs cow you into submission?
Brothers, will you sit idly by while Sammy D. is tried and MURDERED by the forces of big business?
Comrades, will you let his brave sacrifice be forgotten?
We must hang together or we will surely hang separately.

SHOW THE BOSSES WHO IS BOSS!

ORGANIZE NOW!

STRIKE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

FREE YOURSELVES!

DEMAND FREEDOM FOR SAMMY D!

I.W.W.

Unquote.

Bisbee Review editorial comment: The intention of the Wobblies to foment terror and disorder on an international scale is clear from this leaflet. The socialist labor activist referred to, Sammy D, was a key instigator of the recent violence at the Consolidated Copper Company Mine in Cananea, Mexico. He was being held by the Mexican authorities for his attempted murder of Col. William Greene and his involvement in the bombings in Cananea last October. Since the distribution of this leaflet, the forces of the Mexican self-styled "General" Pascal Orozco have freed Sammy D and the other revolutionaries involved in the carnage in Cananea. Orozco's connection with Sammy D reveals his socialist colors and highlights the international dimension of the IWW threat.

Concerned citizen organizations in Silver City are claiming victory in their struggle to keep the barbarous blood sport of bullfighting out of their city. Filbert Goodfellow, of the Silver City Society for Kindness to Animals, announced at the protest march and torch rally held in opposition to the proposed Bullfighting ring that city fathers had assured him privately the bullfighting initiative was dead. Mr. Goodfellow pointed to the large turnout at the rally and the conspicuous absence of the principal proponent of introducing bullfighting in Silver City, Rob "the Cape" Mcgraw, as a great victory in the fight against blood sports. Goodfellow quipped that, despite fears in some quarters there might have been violence had the bullfighting lobby attempted to breakup the rally, "the Cape" might actually be in need of some augmentation from the bulls themselves. According to Goodfellow, the society intends to capitalize on the momentum from this victory and move against cockfighting next. Ethel Falwell of the Women's Christian Abstinence League of Silver City appeared smug and announced the league was very pleased with the victory and intends to begin targeting local gin mills and houses of ill-repute. Rob "the Cape" McGraw could not be reached for comment, but one of the city fathers, speaking on condition of anonymity, opined the scheme had fallen through due to lack of financial support.

The sounds of music and laughter echoed through lantern-filled Avenida Serdan last evening, as Guaymas "society" gathered to celebrate the arrival of new German Cultural Attaché Kurt Jahnke. Hosted by Club Kronprinz, the party lasted well into the wee hours and was by all accounts a great success. In attendance were Mayor and Mrs. Jose Salazar, Chief of Police Ignacio Mendes, and numerous German and Mexican socialites. The lavish banquet of seven courses also featured free flowing champagne imported from regions near the Rhine River. Local musicians, the Bidinger Brass Band from Bavaria, and chanteuse Lilly Von Schtupp provided the entertainment.

Herr Jahnke, who was posted to Mexico from Berlin earlier this month, was reportedly delighted with the festivities, toasting his hosts and the assembled throng throughout the night. He and Miss Von Schtupp led the crowd in some traditional German songs and started the dancing after dinner. As the festivities began to wind down, Mr. Jahnke and several of the local businessmen retired to the inner recesses of the club with brandy and cigars, no doubt to discuss the day's events.

Just outside, some of the revelers were treated to a special display of Germany's newest martial technology Local importer Rolfe Schrader showed off his wares and his shooting skills in the adjacent plaza, as he and an associate repeatedly holed small paper targets with great speed and accuracy. This was accomplished using both the new Luger P-08 and older "broomhandled" Mauser Model 96 automatic pistols. These automatic pistols are among the imported German goods that continue to find favor with both the Mexican Government and provincial forces. The fine display of shooting elicited warm applause from the assembly and is sure to assist Mr. Schrader in his sales of these remarkable firearms.

Events such as this gala have helped Club Kronprinz and its owner Werner Hartzmann burst upon the Mexican social scene this year. The club has hosted numerous parties and luncheons in Guaymas and sponsored local theatre and dance events. Last night's fete will no doubt add to Herr Hartzmann's reputation as a fine host. Membership in the Club Kronprinz is available for Germans and those of German heritage, subject to approval by the membership committee. Guest passes are available to those of other nationalities. The club currently boasts members from as far away as Mexico City and even Berlin.

The arrival of Mr. Jahnke is another sign of the continually growing ties between Mexico and Germany. Guaymas is home to many expatriate Germans and Mexicans of German descent. Along with the Club Kronprinz, the German quarter of Guaymas boasts a Bavarian-style beer hall, sausage shops, and numerous German-run businesses. The import and export business is especially strong here. There is almost always a German freighter in the harbor unloading manufactured goods or loading produce or raw materials. Ships of the Imperial Navy are also a common sight at the city wharves. The residency of Attaché Jahnke in Guaymas will no doubt serve to make Germany's connections here even stronger.

Last night patrons of Bisbee's "Brewery Gulch" were thrilled by the mellifluous melodies of lovely German chanteuse and dancer Fraulein Lilly Von Schtupp in her debut performance at the Sazerac House Saloon. A packed house was enchanted with her singing which featured favorites including "A Bird in a Gilded Cage" and "Shine on Harvest Moon," as well as a number of German and French songs. Her finale, "Danse Serpentine," in which she appeared on stage clad only in a diaphanous green silken veil, may have shocked gentler members of the audience. The majority of the audience, mostly local businessmen and miners, seemed more enthralled than disturbed by her performance. Judging by their enthusiasm and applause, saloon owner Jack Devereaux may well have to add additional shows to cater to the demand. Following her performance, the charming and re-clothed Miss Von Schtupp was seen graciously chatting with the bar's patrons over glasses of congratulatory champagne.

Fraulein Von Schtupp began her professional career in Munich in 1904 with theatrical director Max Reinhardt. She has appeared in productions ranging from the celebrated "Midsummer Night's Dream" to Oscar Wilde's "Salome" and Hofmannsthal's "Electra" as well as numerous vaudeville and small theatre productions in Germany, France, England, and the United States. Her show at the Sazerac House is scheduled to run through the end of February. She appears nightly at 10. Early arrival is suggested.

Famed American Aviator Roy Knabenshue of Toledo, Ohio, currently is developing the field he has been using in Douglas for use as a permanent aerodrome. Fresh from his remarkable appearance at the fantastically successful First International Aviation Meet, Knabenshue believes the sunny skies of Arizona will provide an ideal location for year-round flying and all manner of aeronautical pursuits.

Knabenshue, who was one of the first men to pilot a steerable balloon and who flew America's first successful dirigible at the St. Louis World's Fair, also holds numerous firsts and world dirigible records. He hopes to attract fellow aviators and provide a proper permanent airfield for both Aeroplanes and dirigibles. A local aerodrome means Douglas may expect visits from other well known aviators, such as the celebrated Glen Curtis or the brothers Wright, and displays of flying the like of which the Territory has never seen.

Aviation displays are growing more common and more popular. The First International Aviation Meet held in Los Angeles at Dominguez Field early this year attracted more than 175,000 people and featured flyers and spectators from around the world. Machines of all sorts were flown, including biplanes, triplanes, and monoplanes. Even experimental models such as the "ornithopter" were on hand. There were also balloons and dirigibles of every make along with their pilots. Of special note were two famed Bleriot monoplanes all the way from France.

Remarkably, the locals of Douglas and Bisbee seem wholly unimpressed by flying machines. Few people have ventured out to see the giant flying contraption in its hangar tent. Many have seen it as it passed serenely overhead or climbed gracefully into the blue Arizona sky, but locals seem largely unaffected by the aviation craze sweeping the rest of the world. Perhaps Arizonans are more concerned with Apaches than aeroplanes? This may change as they grasp the value of practical aviation. One day dirigibles and aeroplanes may be as commonplace and well used as wagons and automobiles!

Knabenshue's aerodrome is currently home to a single dirigible, the"Toledo 2," and a single Curtis-designed aeroplane, but there are reportedly more in various stages of production or repair inside the workshops, which stand beside the flying field. Plans call for the building of new facilities and improvement of the landing field. A grandstand may also be constructed for public convenience.

Apparently there are still a few aerodrome positions available for skilled and unskilled laborers. Apply in Douglas with Mr. Knabenshue or his agent. Interested citizens may tour the airfield by appointment.

Once again, The Bisbee Review wishes to extend a full and formal apology for some of the recent inaccuracies in the stories by WA Pffankuch. Mr. Pffankuch assures our readers that further incidents will not occur in the future.
