tiers Of mile distant from Perkins

Martinez was the first OF the
party to be ready for the plunge.
Taking a flying start, he hit the

sign. They waited FIVE minutes.
Still no sign.
Alarmed. they rushed back in a
body to Perkinsville where the sta
ton master was informed. Return
ing to the shallow water, they fish
cd around until the body was re-

F. L. Vandegrift. editor of the
Santa Fe Railways magazine, The

county for few days to collect
data for some articles to be pub
lished in the November issue OF that
influential publication, left for
Phoenix Saturday for a like cam

With Secretary Fraser of the
Chamber of Commerce and H. Chill
Ter. Mr.. Vandegrift visited Skull
valley Friday, where he was much
impressed by the changes which
have taken place since his last
visit in the spring of 1913. He
made other trips through William
son and Ferguson valleys winding
up his visit with a hurried survey
OF Little and Big Chino valleys.
He was especially pleased with
the heart of Skull valley. where in
tensive cultivation promises to make
veritable garden in a short time.
Future changes, in the shape of
young orchards of we'll chosen va
rieties of apples. pears, plums, and
peaches, newly reconstructed houses
and fences. hundreds of acres re-
claimed from marsh by scientific

other plans surprised Mr.. Vande-
grift.
1t is Mr.. Miller's design to make

ley, show place and enough has
already been done to demonstrate
that the work will be carried on
without Interruption, and thus an
example Tor settlers in other val
leys who have not taken equal adj
vantage OF their opportunities, will
be set.
Mr. Vandegrift came here from
Flagstaff, where he collected infor-
nation for editorial correspondence
on that favored section. Returning
from Phoenix. he will go to Al
buquerque. Las Vegas and other
cities in New Mexico.
Mrs. Vandegrift accompanied her

FIX
THE COUNTY
TAX RATE
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE
OVER LAST YEARS FIG
URES DUE TO BUILDING
BOOMS

The county tax rate was fixed
yesterday by the board of super
visors at .555 on 500 of property.
This coupled with the State tax
rate of AS makes a fiat rate of 81
to be paid in districts not affected
by special school taxes. In Pres
colt, School District No. /. tax
payers must meet a special tax of
OPS this large figure being neces-
sary because OF the interest due on
the $4,000 bond issue voted early
in the year and the interest and re-
demption fund for 1912 bonds. The
city council will today probably
fix the local rate at 81 on the $780,
This means that the local tax
payer will have to pay a total of
$2.6225 on each 500 of property.
The county tax and the different
funds it will be distributed to, to
gether with the figures of the pre-
ceding year are as follows:
19l4-15 1912-13
General fund ------- .2274 POO
Road fund ---------- .145O $500
Int. on bonded indebted
ness State Bond .036S .0391
Redemption fund, court house
Int on Court House
bonds 0l62
General school fund --.l2l4 .l059
County total rate 49, SIS sos
Last year the State tax rate was
five cents higher while the increase
OF the same amount in this years
county rate makes the same figure
of 81 available. The increase OF
five cents in the county rate is di-
vided all along the line, materially
assisted by the new court house
bond issue. Taxpayers will be call
ed upon to pay .O244 for the new
court house this year, almost two
thirds of this amount going towards
the redemption of the initial bonds
which are due January l. 1915.
\ substantial increase in the spe-
cial school tax rate OF this district
is accounted for in the issue OF the
$4,000 bonds for the erection OF
"a new high school and manual train
ing building. The interest on these
bonds results in a levy of .2765.
The rate will be increased when the
initial bonds become due.
Last year there was a special
tax of "a FOR high school purposes
in this district. A special tax of
0S was also levied for the bonded
Indebtedness accrued by the issue of
the 1902 bonds making a total rate
OF .32. The rate for the maintcn-
nance of the high school and man
ual arts buildings is increased this
year to $40 which added to .2765
for the new high school bonds in
terest makes a total figure for spe-
cial school taxes in this district of

There are special taxes levied in
many districts OF the county as a
result of the sudden building boom
inaugurated late last year. In five

CAR GOES ISL NILES
ON GALLON Of GASOLINE
Red Crown Shows Remarkable
Test.
Judged by c. A. c. Committee.

y
Surprising results were obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when in a dis
lance test on the bo%ulevards, a 1915
big six went 28.7 miles on a gallon
of Red Crown gasoline. The. test was
made to demonstrate the fuel econ
omy of high test gasoline, by the tech
nical: committee of the Chicago Auto.
mobile Club.
9 Red crown gasoline, So test was
decided upon by. the judges and driv-
.ers as the best gasoline to he used.
All through the trip the clutch was
not slipped, except when traffic con-
'gestion made it necessary. The dash
adjustment on the car buretor, was
disconnected, and in order that the
test be- a fair one the fan was in 0p-
Grafton throughout the run.
Next came the ~acceleratiOn test.
With the carburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven from standing start to
thirty miles an hour in IL As seconds.
The fleXibility test. saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
up to %fortyfour.
This test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where
the bet gasoline is used.

EASTERN TEAMS BAVE
ADVANTAGE over west
Longer Hours to Practice AL
lowed Men on Eastern
Teams.

Chicago. Nov. 7~.---Several inter-
sectional football games are likely to
be on the gridiron program next year,
and in that case will the East meet
the West on even terms? That query
vas raised after the Michigan,Har.
ward contest, with the answer from
the seaboard critics Of why not?
There is a general tendency in the
East at the present time to find out
what the widest west of Hudson can
produce and there are several schools
on this side not averse to Showing
them.
After the question had been thrash
cd out a bunch Of w%esterners came
to the conclusion that a team from
this section must be at least 80 per
cent better than the eastern eleven in
order to win. That took into con.
sideration the fact that, if the games
were played in the east, the visiting
team would have to travel a thousand
miles or so, which naturally Is a
big disadvantage. .Eut that is the
smallest, according to western ex-
perts. 1t is the preliminary training,
prevalent in the east. which gives
the Atlantic coast teens and others
further inland a tremendous edge.
The visitors from the west were
surprised when they discovered THAI
the Yale candidates. fcr the team be.
gan practice at 100. VI; ctically every
day, and were at it until after dark.
Then after this came indoor quiz and
blackboard talks, which meant that
the football curriculum accounted for
four OF five hours a day. H.. ...
At Harvard they are not so fortu-
nate. Practice there begins usually
