Apperson Car of State Land Commission Returns Un- hurt From 1900 Miles of Eastern Arizona High ways and Byways

Probably the hardest used car that ever spent few short weeks on Ari- zona roads is the Apperson Jack Rab- bit with which the members of the State Land Commission made its now famous trip over the eastern half of Arizona. Four passengers and nearly a ton, in all ony the car made a load that will hump any car to get away with on the roads such as are found in Greenlee county, for instance But that was the equipment of the rabbit, and 1t went the dis tance, just the same, thereby prov ing itself a hardy boat and one we'll fitted for the rough and ready going of the west.
 The car was returned to the Phoe- nix garage, from which it was bought, last week, and aside from some scratches and minor injuries to it's smooth sided beauty, the machine was just as good as new. The engine, which had done husky service through the mountains of the eastern part of the state was running just as smooth ly as a new one,
 The cars work for the land com mission is not done; by many miles, yet. For a day or two the machine will be out of service, while the com inissioners sojourn in the capital city to recuperate and get ready for their next trip westward on their land sec ing duties. Tn the meantime the chauffeur has been allowed a leave of absence and departed several days ago for California to spend a couple of days with his people during the holidays.

It will not be long before the handsome new place will : be ready for the display storage and repair of the Buick and Apperson lines that are already ordered for the Arizona state agency.

PROPOSED LICENSE
ON POOL HALLS

The city Is endeavoring to raise mo-
ney for current expenses by the licens-
ing of pool halls, card tables, skating
Kinks, etc. The average person looks
upon the pool hall as being similar to
the old time saloon and a natural tar
get for licenses Of all kinds. They
are looked upon as minis for revenue
only, and this is very mistaken
idea. The pool hall of the average
town in the west is like the saloon
in only one respect. It Is a resort
where men can congregate after the
business Of the day and enjoy each
others company. In this particular
alone are they alike. There ara three
in Blackfoot, the largest Of which is
Fred Murphey's. This Il the most
beautiful In the state and an adver-
tisement to any town The old Pas
time was a credit to Blackfoot for q
stranger, coming to the city, would
remark about the large tabocco store
and pool hall, and seem surprised that
1t could be maintained in 81 town thsi
size. Mr.. Murphey- has already over
stepped a justifyable business princi-
pal in installing in this city a gentle
mems club such as the new store for
there is not enough business to war
rant the outlay which he has made,
but this Isl the town in which he has
resided for years and he retains a
strong belief that it is destined to
be one Of the best in the state. Dur
ing the time he has been engaged in
business here he has conducted every
thing in highly satisfactory way. He
is already paying a personal property
tax and county license tax on his
equipment, $40 cents Of which now
goes to the city, and while he did
not enter any remonstrance in strong
terms at the special meeting Friday
evening, he gave very convincing proof
that any additional tax, coupled with
his large expense account and present
taxes tend to cripple his business to
such an extent that he could not con.
tinue his present high standard, but
would have to curtail ether expenses
and thereby let the business be run in
a manner that would not prove salts.

SPECIAL SESSION
OF CITY COUNCIL

Friday. evening a special session Of
the city council was held, for the
purpose Of passing an ordinance for
the licensing of skating Kinks, card
tables, pool and billiard tables. Fred
Murphey Of the Murphey, cigar stores,
and Dick Watson Of the Club cigar
store, were present. Mr.. Murphey
submitted statement showing how
much his receipts were for the past
three years and showed that the t.
bles had been run at a loss, his mo.
ney having been made through the
sale Of cigars and tobaccos. The city
- already receiving $40 from the
county tax on tables Of $500 and Mr.
Murphey did not feel that he could
stand more taxation. He stated
that he conducted legitimate bushes.
within the law, allowing no practices
that were contrary to law, and felt
that in adding an additional burden
to the proprietors Of such business.
the city council would force some
into illegal practices, and force others
out Of business. The ordinance was
laid over for further consideration, up
on molten of Councilman Peck, second
ed by Councilman Gibbs.
The second ordinance was that per.
tanning to the fire limit extension and
with few changes was passed, the
same appearing in this issue of this
paper Council then adjourned.

PROSPECT HILL.

Ex-Governor Thomas and his cote
rie of democratic candidates, arrived
in Cheyenne Wells last Friday evening
as scheduled. The sumptuous banquet
served in their honor was attended by
Is or 20 prominent democrats and
their wives. The Hotel Albany is Sec
ond to none in hastily and tastily pre-
pairing good things for the hungry.
H. Y. Tarwater, editor of the East
ern Colorado Times, was ''mine host
on this campaign occasion, and right
royalty did he entertain. The writer
and wife could only send their regrets
but in part measured up to this es-
teemed privilege by attending the big
gathering at the court house that eve
ming. AS an eager listener we con-
cluded that that intelligent crowd of
candidates were as honest a looking
lot as ever made a united run on q
town. Gov. Thomas, who is a candi-
date for the U. S. Senate, in an able
an we'll timed speech, left no doubt in
fair and candid minds as to his fitness
and ability to represent the great
State of Colorado in the Senate of the
United States. In his tall and manly
form, and massive facts, oratorical
powers and convincing arguments, we
were reminded of the one time we ever
saw Jim Green, q former U. s. Sena-
tor from Missouri. We were on the
palatial Mississippi Steamer Rob Roy
enroute from Louisiana, Mo-, to
Quincy, ILL.,, in 1869. Senator Green
was on board, and though he was at
that time in his decline, he kept the
entire passenger crew in ecstacies of
enjoyment by his charming address
and pleasing conversation.
By happy turn of circumstances,
M. W. Purcell, candidate for district
attorney was made chairman of the
meeting, and by his tact, wisdom and
wit the various candidates were pre-
sented to the audience and their pecu-
liar fitness explained. You are likely
TO see all these worthless elected in
November.
