IN the lead, pressed the fragile crystals
down under his fat, short snowshoes.
The task required lungs and muscle,
and he flung himself into it with all his
strength
Behind, on the surface he packed,
strained the string Of six dogs. the
steam jets Of their breathing attesting
their labor and the lowness of the tenn
perature. Between the wheel dog and
the sled toiled Shorty, his weight di
vided between the guiding gee pole and
the haul. for he was pulling with the
dogs. Every half hour he and Smoke
exchanged places, for the snowshoe
work was even more arduous than that
of the gee pole
This was their sixth day out from
the lively camp of Mucluc, on the Yu-
kon. And now they were breasting the
big divide past the Bald Duties, where
the way would lead them down Por-
cupine creek to the middle reaches of
Milk river. Higher up Milk river, it
was fairly rumored, were deposits Of
copper And this was their goal-a
hill of pure copper half mile to the
right and up the first creek after Milk
river issued from a deep gorge to flow
across a heavily timbered stretch of
bottom.
Smoke was in the lead. and the small
scattered spruce trees were becoming
scarcer and smaller when he saw one,
dead and bone dry, that stood in their
path. There was no need for speech.
His glance to Shorty was acknowl-
edged by stentorian Whoa" The
dogs stood in the traces till they saw
Shorty begin to undo the sled lashings
and Smoke attack the dead spruce with
an ak, WhereupOn the animals dropped
in the snow and curled into balls, the
bush of each tail curved to cover four
padded feet and an ice trimmed muZzle.
In twenty minutes from the time they
halted the meal was ready to eat
About forty below" Shorty mumbled
through a mouthful of beans. Hope
it don't get colder-or warmer neither.
It's just right for trail breakin'."
Smoke did not answer. His own
mouth full of beans, he had Glanced to
glance at the lead dog lying half a
dozen feet away. That gray, frosty
wolf was gazing at him with the in
finite usefulness and yearning that
glimmer and haze so often in the eyes
Of northland dogs. Smoke knew it
WELL but never got over the unfathom-
able wonder of it.
AS if to shake off the hypnotiSm he
set down his plate and coffee cup, went
to the sled and began opening the dried
fish sack.
"Heyw Shorty expostulated. What
T. you doin?'
Breaking all law, custom, preceuenl
and trail usage" Smoke replied. I'm
going to feed the dogs in the middle OF
the day-just this once. Bright there

The only successful way Of repair

to tear out the wooden floor, put in

The regular tax levy for city pur-

ordinary expenses of the municipality,
and no provision at all has been made
for emergencies like the Niaduct situ-

court revenues have fallen from
$500 to $1,000 a month since last
August, and thirteen police officers
were laid off two days ago for the
purpose of cutting down expenses
Commissioner T. J. Quinn now fears
that one of the fire stations will have

unlikely that city salaries will have

In addition to the unusual decrease
in police revenues the city has been

ABOUT SALT RIVER
VALLEY NURSERIES

One of the best arranged and most
conveniently located downtown nur-
sery sales yards is that of the Salt
River Valley Nursery, located on
North Central avenue, just south of
the Arizona School of Music. This
nursery, whose proprietors are John
and Robert Armstrong, is located on
North Park road, just a mile south
of the Arizona canal, in the citrus
district. The Salt River Valley nur-
sery makes speciality of growing
fine citrus stock, and those interested
in particularly fine young oranges
and grapefruit trees should inspect
the specimens shown at their sales
yard. Their practice is to dig and
ball their citrus stock late in the fall,
then place in a lath house through
the winter, so that even the tenderest
and freshest of the young shoots are
untouched by the frost Thus the
young tree has ample time in which
to recover from the digging and ball
ing. to re-establish itself, so to speak.
and is ready when set out in the
spring to begin growth at once. Many
of the trees shown are really phen-
omenal in size the system of topping
in hard wood aiding in developing
very thrifty growth.

TEMPE
GOOD ROADS DISCUSSED
BY TEMPE CITIZENS
Live Meeting of Few Tempeans
Shows Favorable Local Sentiment

Good roads in all their phases and
the possibility of organizing local
booster association, were subjects in
terestingly discussed at special meet
ing of the Tempe board of trade held
Friday evening in the council cham
bers The attendance on local boosters
was small but those who did attend
found much of interest and were overly
enthusiastic in the promotion of work
as outlined by the national organizer,
Mr.. |. J. Kirker.
Mr.. Kirker discussed the good roads
question and showed in many ways the
reason why Arizona and the Salt River
valley should have good roads, partic-
ularly on the state highway and its
main branches. His talk was an eX-
Ceedingly interesting one and those
who We're fortunate enough to hear
him are enthusiastic-eVcn to the point
that they appointed a committee among
themselves to see that a better turnout
of representative citizens is secured for
another meeting to be held in couple
of weeks.
The interest displayed on the part Of
those present alone, indicates that
Tempe is in for most anything that will
better the roads of the country, but be-
fore any definite action will be taken
a thorough canvass will be made and
the general sentiment of the local resi-
dents secured. Live items are to be
discussed at the next meeting and an
altogether lively session of the trade
board is anticipated.
