WET And DRY PETITIONERS
FALL SHORT OF REQUISITE
NUMBER TO CALL ELECTION
Considerable Surprise Occasioned BY Discovery That
Over IL Percent Are Not Eligible To Vote

When the Board of Supervisors met Monday in regular
session of the first things taken up the petition on
hand for the past month calling for election to deter
mine the question of whether the liquor shall
be prohibited in Navajo county After short time spent
in checking the petitioners with the pole list it became ap-
parent that the work going to be long and tdous
task it decided to turn the work District
Attorney Crosby and County Assessor Williams prem-
mary vercaton while the Supervisors proceeded to con-
slider other business demanding its attention After
careful and thorough investigation of the list with the 1912
poll register which was not completed before of Tues
day announced that 31 sgners were all that were
eligible out of 1886 the petition short of the requisite
number provided by the statutes Eight petitioners from
the upper country found to have signed more than
one list.
Considerable speculation was induged in as to what
action the Supervisors should take under the circumstances
An opinion freely expressed then and since that the pc
ton should have been rejected in it's entirety and that
the drys be compelled to list if they still de-
sired action at later time
The Supervisors however, after reflection con-
cuded that wholly within their rights to postpone
action in the matter they could any other subject
they might not feel disposed to consider and to put them
selves entirely fair attitude before the public and
show their desire to act in full fairness both sides was
finally ordered that action in the matter would be deferred
until the next regular meeting.
The statutes give the Supervisors the power call an
election whenever in their judgment they may consider
expedent without any petition before them Hence
their action under the situation be viewed as
waiver of their authority in the interests of fair play to
all concerned
The drys' while apparently disappointed at their
failure compel action at the recent board meeting are
pleased with the action of that body giving them an op
portunty to supply the deficiency in their petition at the
next meeting and they claim it will be easy matter to
than the required number before that time
The wets' are also seemingly satisfied with the ac-
ton of the Supervisors and believe that the sooner the
question is decided the better it will be for the business
interests of the county They express confidence their
expectation that the good of the people will prevail
and that they will after proper reflection decide that pro-
hbton is not only in conflict with the spirit of American
liberty but disastrous and expensive experiment wherev
er it has been tried.

ELK ARRIVE IN
WINSLOW SOON

About February 10th the herd
OF Wyoming elk that will be used
as a nucleus in restocking the
northern Arizona ranges with
that noble animal, will be receiv-
ed at Winslow.
A letter to this effect has been
received by W. P. Geary from
Charles NJ. Bledsoe, of Winslow.
who was recently appointed de-
putty game warden for Navajo
county. Bledsoe has been busy
for weeks preparing to receive
the elk.
A corral, enclosing several
acres, is being built about forty
miles south of Winslow. An am
pie supply of mixed oat and tim
othy hay has been purchased
from a farmer in the vicinity and
will be placed in the middle of
the enclosure.
1t is possible that the elk will
have to be held some time in
Winslow, as the snow is quite
deep on the ground. They will be
moved out to the enclosure as
soon as possible and confined
there until spring. By that time
they should be accustomed to
their surroundings, and they will
be turned out to shift for them
selves.
Nearly enough money to pay
all expenses for trapping and
transporting the elk and of keep
ing them confined till spring has
been contributed by the Elks'
lodges of the state and the Boone
and Crockett Club of New York.
