FOREST BUSINESS BY WIRELESS
Apache Ranger Flashes Message from
White Mountains to Clifton

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov. 28.-A
message received here this morning
from District Forester Redington,
who is inspecting the Apache Nation
al Forest in Arizona, states that
wireless message was transmitted
yesterday from the Baseline Ranger
Station to Clifton. The distance is
forty miles. This is believed to be
the first time that wireless has been
used in transacting National Forest
business.
The outfit was installed by Forest
Ranger Warner and Ray Potter Of
Clifton and cost $500. An ordinary
telephone line between Clifton and
Baseline would cost at least $4,000
per mile or 100000.
The transmittal of the message

THE CUB REPORTER
What the Young Man Wrote and
What Appeared in the Paper

The graduate of the school of jour
nalism secured job as reporter on a
big daily. There was fire on Smith
street, and the graduate was assigned
to cover it. This is what the graduate
wrote about the fire:
"The grim, red god of fire demand
ed his toll on Smith street yesterday.
Pandemonium prevailed when he
slaked his appetite on a magnificent
residence at A p. m. The building was
soon one continuous, seething inferno,
and great tongues of flame Ieaped
high toward the heavens, seeking to
poison with their fury the pillows of
smoke and send them on and away to
carry further destruction elsewhere.
Great streaks of livid light shot
through the pail of blackness which
hung overhead and outlined the mon
ster, rolling gaseous clouds in grim
and ghastly figurations. Soon the re-
sidence stood gaunt specter of it's
former self, its massive timbers hold
ing up and standing forth like huge
skeletons lashed by the hellish ton
CUES of the furies of inferno"
And this is what the graduate saw
in the paper next morning when the
copy reader got through handling the
story:
"a small frame dwelling at 10
Smith street was destroyed by fire
yesterday. No lives were LOST

DEATH SUMMONS
MRS. GEO. v. HANCE

Mrs. Partheny II. Hance, wife of
Judge George w. Hance, of Camp
Verde, passed away Saturday morn
ing at o'clock at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. ]. A. Ketcherside in
Yuma.
This information was received in a
telegram and while the end was ex-
pected the loss of this beloved woman
who was so universally well liked
from one end to the other of Arizona,
occasioned expressions of profound
sorrow.
Mrs. Hance had resided in Verde
and other sections of the State since
1876, and her life was graced with
many virtues, in which the home was
made beautiful and those near and
dear were extended that affection and
devotion of a dutiful wife and sacri-
ficing mother. In other spheres was
Mrs. Hance highly esteemed and
through her kindly nature did she
contract the fatal affliction of tuber-
culosis about year ago in admins
tering to the care of another, which
ended in her life paying the penalty.
She was born in Alabama on Feb
ruary II, 1856. When Is years of
age, she removed to Arkansas, coming
to the Verde valley in 1876 to reside.
Two years later she married Judge
Hance, and from the union are three
daughters and one son, who survive,
as follows: Mrs. Partheny Josephine
Reddick, of Huntington Park, CAL;
Mrs. Frances NJ Ketcherside, of Yu-
ma; Miss Eva Hance, of Yuma, and
Harvey Hance of Camp Verde. A
brother resides in this state, and a
sister, Mrs. H. L. Jones, is residing
in Arkansas. Nine grandchildren also
are left to mourn her loss.
The remains were taken to Prescott
for burial on Monday afternoon, in
terment taking place in the Masonic
cemetery.

WRAPPING TwINE FOR PAPER

That wrapping twines which give
thorough satisfaction can be made
from paper has been demonstrated by
experiments made by the Forest Pro-
ducts Laboratory at Madison, Wiscon-
sin. Several hundred packages, each
containing a medium-sized book, were
wrapped and fastened with the light
est-weight paper twine and were
mailed to various points throughout
the United States. Reports show that
practically every package was re-
ceived in good order and that in no
case was there any damage which
could be charged as a fault of the
twine.
In making twine the paper is cut
into narrow strips which are then
twisted tightly to form a cord. The
strength of the twine depends upon
the character of the paper used and
the process of treatment. 1t is well
adopted to a number of purposes, but
the foresters say that as yet no
satisfactory means has been found for
protecting paper twine from the ac-
ton Of water and it should not be
used where it will be exposed to
moisture.

Stock Quarantine Lifted

The quarantine on stock was taken
off in Kansas City Saturday and the
market is again resuming a normal
appearance with the passing of the
scare over the supposed foot and
mouth disease epidemic.
U. S. Inspectors decided that the
affliction was Infectious stomatitis
and after disinfecting the pens and
running the stock through a foot bath
declared the quarantine off.

The Colorado First Called
"Firebrand River"

The Colorado River was reached
by two of the early Spanish explorers
from Mexico in 1910. One of the ex-
plorers was Melchior Diaz, who came
across country and went only short
distance above Yuma, and the other
was fernando de Alarcon, who came
in boats from western Mexico. Owing
to the custom of the natives of carry
ing frebrands in winter with which
to warm themselves, Diaz named the
stream Rio del Tizon (Firegrand
River), a name more distinctive than
the resent one, which often causes
considerable confusion because no
part of the river is in the state Of Co
lorado.-Santa Fe Guide Book, Super

"But are you able to support a

occurred to me-" went on the youth

GAME ASSN. PLEASED
WITH PASSAGE OF BILL

The Northern Arizona Game Pro-
tective Association, which was organ
lied in Flagstaff almost a year ago
is rejoicing over the passage of the
amendment to the fish and game laws
at the recent election. The associa-
tion in Flagstaff worked hard for the
passage of this measure, feeling that
through it the game of the state
would be. preserved and at the same
time the pleasure of hunting and fish
ing could be enjoyed. 1t is believed
that by this means the season on big
game can be kept open for several
years, where on the other hand, had
the law remained the same the legis-
lature would have closed the season
altogether. The new law is as fol-
lows:
Sec. l. That Paragraph 564, Title
XVIII, of the Penal Code, Revised
Statutes of Arizona be, and the same
is, hereby amended to read as follows:
Par. 654. The possession of game
or fish at any time, unaccompanied by
a valid license or permit, shall be
prima facie evidence that such game
or fish was unlawfully taken and is
unlawfully held. And it shall be the
duty of every person to produce a
proper license or permit when called
upon to do so by any game warden
and permit the same to be examined
and copied.
The open season, inclusive of both
dates mentioned for hunting or taking
game birds, game animals and fish,
and the bag limit on each, shall be as
follows:
Male deer, October /, to November
1; bag limit, one deer with horns, dur
ing season.
Wild turkey, October /, to Novem-
Der 1; bag limit, two, during season.
Ducks, geese, coots, rail and larger
shore birds, October 15 to January 81 ;
bag limit, 20 birds of all said varieties
in one day, or in possession at any one
time.
Doves and whitewings, July 15 to
December 81; bag limit, not exceeding
% birds in possession at any one time,
or in any one day, counting both vari-
eties.
GambePs or Valley quail, October
15 to December 81; bag limit, not to
exceed 20 birds in one day or in
possession at any time.
Trout, of all kinds, June /, to Sep
tember 1; bag limit, rs individual fish,
not less than seven inches long, in one
day or in possession at one time.
All other kinds of fish, January /,
to December 81; bag limit, not to ex-
ceed 25 pounds in one day, or in
possession at one time, including all
kinds here referred to.
Sec. 2. That Paragraph $40, Title
XVIII, Penal Code, Revised Statutes
of Arizona be, and the same is here
by amended to read as follows:
