 OF BL|zzARDS
Five Men Seriously Hurt When Rotary Snowplow Boiler EXplodes and One is Dead in Great Ava lanche
[ ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

SEATTLE. Dec. 3O.-The explO- sion of the boiler of a rotary snow plaw on the Great Northern and an avalanche that wrecked a stalled freight train loaded with oriental inn ports for the east on the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound railroad complicated conditions today in the Cascade mountains where the north ern transcontinental railroads are fighting one of the worst bliZZards of the last twenty years. Five men were injured, two probably fatally by the boiler explosion. one was severely hurt in the avalanche, and the Mill waukee line will probably be blocked for several days, but the Great North ern is expected to get trains through tonight. The Northern Pacific open ed it's mountain division for passen- ger traffic late today, but reports frim the mountains said there is danger that the line will be. blocked again before morning.
 Snow in the mountains is eleven feet deep on the level and a stiff wind is piling huge drifts across the tracks.
 EVERETT, Wash, Dec. 30.-Five men, members of a Great Northern rotary snow blow crew, were serious ly scalded today when the boiler ex- ploded two miles east of the Cascade tunnel.

 WILL MEET ON
 JANUARY q
Call Will Be Issued Last of This Week for Second Special Session of Ari- zona s Solons; Many Mat ters Up

The long looked for special session of Arizona will convene in the state house on January 27. according to authoritative information obtained yesterday. and Governor Hunt will issue his call for the session, outlin- ing what he considers to be the needy subjects for the solons to work on, some time between Thursday and Saturday of this week.
 There are a number of matters of great interest that will come up be- fore the session, but that of the the body is as to whether or not they are to get their pay for their work. In order to determine this there will be a friendly suit filed before the supreme court to compel the state treasurer to honor the warrants This will be done during the first week of the session.
 In the call for the session there will appear reference to the need of ap- propriations sufficiently large enough to carry the state for two years as there will be no meeting of the legis- lature before 1915, there will also ap- pear request that the legislature pass an anti-capital punishment law, a road bond issue. make such laws as will allow the state to immediately transfer the whole of the Industrial school from Benson to Fort Grant appropriate sufficient money to per init the state to also use the Fort Grant reserve as site for the school for the deaf and dumb and the feeble minded, pass amendments to the game law placing a closed season on deer for two years, and prohibit ing the sale of game more strictly than it is now done.
 It is possible also that an appro- priation will be asked for in addition to the present capital for the Ari
 zona exhibit. to the Panama Pacific exposition, and for the maintenance of a commission for the state as a part of a similar commission to be appointed by other states on the ques- ! tiOn of the control of the flood waters Of the Colorado. It may be that nc appropriation will be asked for the last named commission It is further : rumored that the opponents of the
 administration will endeavor to pas. another board of control bill abolish ing the office of citizen member.
 One of the most important bills however, to come before the house: will be the taxation bill, preparation for which will be made by the com mission, between now and the meet ! ing of the legislature It has beer 1 ytrr l. nf l1 1 administration that there will be ar
 attempt to refuse the appropriation l for the land commission, although this | is not regarded very seriously. It is
 known that the members of the com
 mission have worked very hard since Continued on Page Five)

CATTLE GROWERS HOLD
 ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

The second meeting of the Navajo Apache Cattle Growers Association was held in the court room at the Court house, Monday afternoon and evening. There was a large gathering of cattlemen from the two counties and the matters of interest to the growers were so numerous that the evening session was continued until late hour. At the same time that the meeting was being held here a branch meeting was being held at St. Johns.
 The membership of the as- sociation was practically doubl- ed. A constitution and bylaws were adopted. Considerable other business was transacted including an instruction to the executive committee to take up with the railroads the matter of paying for all cattle killed, at current regular price. It is to the interest and advantage of every cattleman in the two counties to become a member of the association as the state sani- tary board will certainly consid- CT the wishes of the board in appointment of inspectors and similar matters, and aside from this the cattlemen have many interests in common which re- quire their unite effort.
 The next regular meeting of the association will be held at St. Johns. Sept. 9th.

The Holbrook News,
 Holbrook, Arizona. Gentlemen:
 In the issue of The Holbrook News. dated the 10th day of August, 1912. 1 note an item all luding to my rumored change of residence from Navajo to Mari copa County. Of course you realize that under the provisions of our Constitution and sub sequent legislative enactment the members of the Corporation Commission must reside at the domocile of the Commission. In accordance herewith my official residence is necessarily placed in this bustling and thriving city. Remember however, that 1 re- gard myself as a resident of the Town of Winslow. County of Navajo, and that I intend to re- gister and vote there this fall and any impression to the con- trary is erroneous. 1 read your paper with a great deal of in terest and it is a bright, newsy sheet but you have not yet at- tained the acme of journalistic fairness in political policy of which you seem capable. 1 sug- gest the following-join the ranks of the Wilson and Mar shall boosters that are being daily augmented, and aid and assist in making the choice of Arizona practically unanimous.
 Yours very truly,
