SP0RTSMEK or ARIZONA
WILL ORGANIZE STATE

Albuquerque, N. NJ, July 12.--In
response to requests from the sports
men from Flagstaff, and other inter-
ested parties scattered throughout
Northern Arizona, G. M. Willard,
State Game Warden, and Aldo Leo
pold of the Forest Service, formerly
secretary of the New Mexico Game
Protective Association, will shortly
make tour of Northern Arizona
points to aid in the organization of a
series of game protective associa-
tons. The remarkable results ac-
complished by the sportsmen of New
Mexico since their organization few
months ago have convinced consid-
cradle number of Arizona sportsmen
that their best interests will be sub
served by starting a similar move
ment. Thomas f. Mccullough, a
young business man of Flagstaff, to-
gether with about a dozen other
Flagstaff sportsmen, have made plans
for a meeting to be held about the
middle of July to start the ball roll
ing by organizing game protective
association to represent Flagstaff apd
the surrounding country. Gustav
Becker and Frederick VIM of
Springerville are said to be advocating
another game protective association
in that part of the state. The objects
of these associations will be to coope-
rate with the State Game Department
and the Forest Rangers in securing
the better enforcement of laws, the
enactment of better laws as needed
and the establishment of an adequate
system Of game refugees throughout
Arizona. A concerted move will also
be made to cooperate with the various
stock growers associations in secur
ing more effective action toward tn,
determination Of predatory animals
which modern sportsmen now realiZ,
threaten their own interests quite a.
seriously as they do the interests o.
stockmen. An extensive publicity
campaign will also be undertaken Il
educate the general public to a better
appreciation of the value Of a gooC
supply of game and fish and the ne
cessity for universal Observance Of
the game and fish laws.
The leaders of this movement have
expressed the opinion that if the
sportsmen Of Arizona can organize 6
really active series of game protect.
i've associations that it will but g
short time before conditions can be
revolutionized throughout the state
At present they say it is well-knowr
that not only is the supply of game
and fish decreasing each year, but
violations Of the laws are more or less
prevalent in many places. They think
that there is but one way to effective,
~ check this illegal work of destruc.
ton, and that is to start a radical
campaign of law enforcement backed
by educational measures comprehen.
sive enough to reach every citizen Of
the state with new idea Of his re.
sponsibilities in observing the law
and aiding in its enforcement.
Mr., Willard and Mr.. Leopold will
give illustrated lectures at all points
covered by their proposed trip.

NATIONAL FORESTS CLAIM
A MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR

Albuquerque, N. NJ, July 13.-The
District Forester here has announced
that the government receipts from
timber operations, grazing permits,
and other industries in the National
Forests of Arizona and New Mexico
total $4,000 for the year just ended,
as compared with 100000 for the
previous year. at has long been APP
parent" says District Forester Red
dington, chat Forest receipts are an
accurate index to business prosperity,
and these encouraging figures for the
year just ended speak for them
selves"
Local Forest Service men point out
that not only have stockmen con-
tinued to receive excellent prices for
beef, mutton, and wool, with a cor
responding heavy demand for Forest
range, but the timber business Of the
Southwest has experienced marked
revival, with corresponding demand
for Forest Stumpage. New timber
sales of considerable size have just
been negotiated on the Alamo and
Coconino Forests and not less than
five new mills made sale contracts on
the Santa Fe forest within the last
few months. Existing sales have
have largely increased their output in
response to the thrifty condition Of
the trade.
