WILD ANIMALS KILLED BY
 RANGERS
One Wolf Destroys Six or More Hundred Dollars
 Worth Each Year
Ispecial to The News.l

Washington, Oct. During the past fiscal year 4, 7S6. predatory ani- mals were killed by federal officers on the National forests, according to an actual count of carcases. An in determinate number of animals whose bodies were not found, are presumed to have died of poison.
 The rangers bag of-beasts of prey this year, as shown by forest ser vice figures, was made up of 2O6 bears, 3,541 coyotes, 133 mountain lions, 62 lynx, 3S3 wildcats, G. wolves and 97. wolf pups. The fig ures indicate. that the National for ests are becoming cleared of wild animals that prey upon domestic livestock and game, for the forest ranger fills in odd moments between other jobs by thinning out "undesi- rable citizens" of the animal world.
 Wolves are said to cause greater loss to western .stockmen than any other of the predatory animals. Ii is estimated that a family of wolves will destroy about $3,000 worth oi stock per annum. and that one able bodied individual costs, the grazing industry $500 season.
 Vhe wolves are of two classes- the smaller prairie wolves or coy otes, and the larger grey, black, ol timber wolves, called '1ebos. !, These latter are the great stock de. stroyers against which the campaign of the ranger has been waged.
 The methods of hunting wolves in the west vary. On the plains wolves are sometimes hunted witt dogs and horses, but this way is considered expensive and ofter dangerous This sport is described by Roosevelt in his earlier hunting books. On national forests the ran gers either set out poison or baiteG steel traps, or by watching trails and hiding near a wolf's den, art able to shoot one or both of the ole wolves when they return from for aging. In no other way, according to the forest service, can the numbe of wolves be kept down so well a.

by finding their dens and destroy ing their young.
 The skins of the predatory ani- malls killed by the rangers are either kept as souvenirs or sold for a price or for bounty. Wolf skins in the west said to bring from $4 to $6 for robes and ruge; a mountain lion skin from $10 to $20, and bear skin, anywhere from $20 to $50 according to size and species. In addition to this there are bounties on bear, lions and wolves in most of the western stock states. Wyo- ming, in ten years, has paid out, it is said, ever $65, GOO in bounties on wolves alone and $95,OO0 mo- on coyotes and mountain lyons.
 Through his activity against these pests, the forest ranger, it is said, has saved the stockmen many thousands of dollars during the year, while the protection to game animals, such as deer, elk and an- telope, is or almost equal import ance.

Chicamagua, he was the only one of the officers who lived through the awful experience of the strug- gle between Rosecrans and Bragg, which was declared a draw. Of the ninety-six men in the Alaba- ma battery, thirty-two were killed outright. When the battle was pending, Robert Perrin, a mere boy, but a onfpderate first lieu tenant, was placed in command be- cause the captain was off on fur tough.
 Colonel Perrin has remained a bachelor. A man of large wealth, he has given the most of it away to relatives and good works At v he is still man. of affAirs, one of great foresight, a student of hu- manity. He reads much on the progress of the world, keeping closely in touch herewith.
 "The dan,ing of the Colorado is feasible, easily so," said Colonel Perrin today" It would not in any way interfere with the scenic beauty and value of the Grand Canyon, as the dam could be built far gh above to do away with that objection. Such a dam would create lake of three to five thou sand square miles in area, holding water enough from the floods to irrigate an immense area in Ari- zona and Utah and still allow the usual flow down to the south fol IContinued on Page 6l

CADILLAC CAR COASTS VERDE
 GRADE
Chief Engineer Roberts Gets 5000 of Good Money
 From Miller
Especial to The News.l

Phoenix, October 8.-By coast ing down the famous Six Mile road between Jerome and Clarkdale, in his 1913 Cadillac, T. c. Roberts, chief engineer of the United Verde Copper company, won 5000 from Walter Miller, the we'll known Jerome merchant, a few days ago. News of Roberts feat was bro -aght to Phoenix by w. A. Horrell. local agent for the Cadillac, who has just returned from trip to Yavapai county.
 Dozens of machines have tried to coast down the steep hillside road from Jerome to Clarkdale, where the new United Verde smelter is being built. Because of the many sharp curves not one driver, before Roberts, succeeded in making it without using power. Roberts got it into his head that his Cadillac could go down hill just as well as it could go up, and that he could coast down the Clarksdale road without power. Miller told him that he could not do it and a wager of 5000 was made Roberts won, and said that it was easy.

OFFICIALS SHOULD JET
 ACTION
Combination of State and Federal Governments
 Now Essential

Secretary Houston of the Depart ment of Agriculture, says that the state and federal governments should work together for highway improvement in order that a large proportion of the money usually spent for road construction may not be wasted.
 In his own department the office of public roads has been demon strating the value of proper road building by the construction. of cer- tain obiect-lesson roads, and the forest service is carrying out his idea of national and state coopera- ton in road building. E.The law re- quires.that ten per cent of the gross receipts from the national forests shall be spent in the states in which the forests are situated. This mon- ey is expended for good road im- pavement under direct1.control of the secretary of agriculture.
 The amount appropriated under this act, based on the receipts of the national forests for the fiscal year ending June 30, 194-, is $234,- 63S. 68. From the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent road item, there is an additional $134, 831. 10, which is still available.
 In administering the ten per cent road fund, forest officers charged with the actual plans and expendi- lures in the neighborhood of their forests have, in almost I'll cases, se- cured an equal or a larger coopera- tive fund from state authorities for the building of certain pieces of road.
 With the money thus expended many important roads are being built or put in repair. One on the Wyoming national forest, six miles long, makes accessible to farmers a large body of timber A-d opens up region of great scenic beauty. In northwestern Arizona, part of the fund will be used in connection with the LsFevre-Bright Angel road, important because it makes accessible to tourists the Grand Can yon of the Colorado. In one place the Ocean to Ocean Highway crosses the Apache national forest, Arizona, aud on this project the forest ser vice and the local authorities coop erated enthusiastically. On the Florida national forest in western Florida steel bridges and graded roads have, under the stimulus o1 this fund, taken the place of cordu- roy, bog, and sand.
 This federal road fund is now available in all nat onal forest states of the west. Just as fast as returns come in, th~ forestry off. cials say, a similar fund will become available in states fin which eastern national forests are being secured.

FRAUD CHARGED NOTE S|GNERS
 BRING SUIT
Banker Burrage of Winslow and Other Good Men
 Are Involved
Through Judge Sloan Many Repudiate Paper Having
 Their Names Thereon
Special to The News.1

Special to The News.l
 Phoenix, Oct. 8.-Whelesale liti- gation against the Ranchers' Trust company has been instituted in the Superior Cour' .f Coconino county by the local fl .n of Sloan, Seabury < Westervelt, representing slxry- three signers of notes given the agents of that concern. The notes aggregate $14O,0O0 and many of them have been sold or hypothe- cated.
 It is alleged in the complaint, which was written by former gov-| |ernor Richard N. Sloan, that theI Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust com-| |pany and R. D. Greer, both of Winslow, ano other persons who took over the notes held by the Ranchers' Trust company, are not innocent parties and entitled to| protection as such. It is charged that they knew that the company was not complying with the terms of the permit issued by the corpo7 ration commission.
 Following are the defendants mentioned .iE the complaint Ranehess' Trust company, Thomsa Watkins, c. H. Harrison, H. n Schultz, W. H Burbage, T. E Dye, T. H. Bargman, J. A. Graves William B. McCandless, John WI Thompson, Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust company, and R. D. Greer Watkins, Harrison and Schultz arS the agents who took the notes from various stockmen of Northern Ari zona after painting glittering word pictures of seven per cent money directorships in a powerful finan cial institution and places on it loan board at s10 day. All tn other indivi0 .4als, except Greer who is a note holder, are, or hsv been, directors in the Ranchel, Trust. Dye, Bargman, Graves an Burbage are residents of Winslov McCandless and Thompson are d Phoenix.
 Judge Sloan's complaint allegd that there never was any intentio of conducting an honest bushes that the who,s scheme was fak from start to finish and was starts merely for making easy mono from the sale of shares. It is aske that a. receiver be appointed an that steps be taken to dissolve tl corporation.
 Under the Corporation Commi sion's permit the agents were q lowed fifteen per cent commisid for the sale of stock, and ten pI cent additional when the enu subscriptions should be paid cash. The notes taken from trus full cattle growers and sheepm, were hypothecated however, al the agents, in number of insta ces, were paid the entire g p cent immediately. The claim set up that the persons holding t notes knew that this was bel done, that they were cognizant the dishonesty of the scheme the time. This is the ground s vanced for asking that the notes declared invalid.
 Notes of two kinds were giva
 First a subscriber would give
 note for 25 1-2 per cent of the c, l of his stock and then another n, for the remai >er.

 of Los Angeles
Especial to. The News.l

Phoenix, Oct. S.-For the first time in the history of the Los An geles-P Phoenix road race the cars are to be sent away at daylight. This question was settled when the com mittee in charge decided to make the race=a speed contest from start to finish in an effort to chop down the record time, between Los Ange- les and the Arizona capital. The fastest motor cars the world are tosbe entered in the Phoenix race this year and theytim between the several cities along the route of the great race course, :
 Instead of a desert classic this year the course has been laid so as to include San Diego, the most populous city between Los Angeles and Phoenix. Steel Canyon, which has been. repaired ana put in excel lent shape with wide macadam highway, is the first trial this side of San Diego. The Mountain Springs grade in San Diego county yhas -heen@-ehopped down to spoint where the cars enter Imperial. coun- 7a5ty and the Devils Canyon is now in far better condition than it ever was before. --x
 After leaving the Devils canyon the racers. will be sent through Fl Centro to Brawley and thence out to the Mar6moth wash! Here will be the severe test of the cars and drivers. Men who are accustomed to fast time on a smooth road will be forced to pilot their cars through theNdeepest. of desert sand washes. This test will be, supreme, and the cars that are sent through the wash in shape must then finish the run into Yuma in preparation for another days grind. The first nights coptrol. will be on the banks of the Colorado river
 ~'-The racer as it arrives at the river control will be checked in and fer ried across to Yuma where it will be placed in control and guarded No work~-whatever can, be-dohe on the cars during the wait and the racers will be sent away the second morning from Yuma on the 206-mile run into Phoenix where the winners will be, checked in at the fair grounds after the cars have been sent around the fast one mile course.
 After leaving Yuma the racers are to be routed through Dome in Castle Dome, the wide arid stretch where the1nalpais focks4play havoc with the. fires. Then the cars are to be sent through the beautiful Hassayampa valley, the gateway of \ Phoenix, and the racers will pilot their machines through a well wa tered country which is remarka ble in it's contrast to the desert which they must traverse after leaving Castle Dome.
 The race this year has been so arranged that the beauty spots of the course will be shown as never before. The terrors of the desert, it will be shown, are now thing of the past, and the Phoenix race this year, which is :. to be. over large part of the proposed national high way, should mean more touring be- tween the Arizona capital and the coast: AS it is expected the record made this year will call attention to
