No Mixtures For Road Racers

''All but three of the sixteen contestants Tn the recent Doug las to Phoenix road race took particular pains to secure straight-distilled, all refinery gasoline, and the winners of first, second and third places were among the wise thirteen, said J. B. Balsley District Sales Manager of the Standard Oil Company. yesterday. while dis cussing the ever-present subject of pure gasoline.
 "The lesson to be drawn from this incident by motorists, is the fact that practically all of the contestants carefully avoided mixtures and doped gas.
 "A racing driver is out to win. He is wise to all the tricks that make victory more certain, ana he knows that mixtures and doped gas are unreliable. causing loss of power and carburetor difficulties. They all spoke of these points before the race, and I know what kind of fuel they used because they filled with our Red Crown gasoline.
 ''The winner, c. l. Cord, driving a Paige, was frank enough to give most of the credit for his victory to the uniform power he obtained from oul gasoline"

Bond Election Tomorrop

OANNA 1LCNNNOAA
 Tomorrow, Saturday Dec. 9. there will be held in the school house in Holbrook an election for the purpose of deciding whether or not bonds to the amount of $8,000 shall be issued to complete the new school building now in course of construction. The polls will be open from 10 o'clock a. m. until 6 o'clock D. m. Every voter Tn the school district who has paid property tax, and who is otherwise qualified, is entitled to vote at thls election.
 The first bond issue for the new school building was $25, 900, Before the contract was let it was found that the money voted was not sufficient to build a school house such as Holbrook needed. The contract was let, however, the plan being at that time to call an election to vote additional bonds. Such an cleo tion was called and was held several weeks ago. A large ma jority of votes was cast in favor of the bonds. but it was after wards learned by inc board of trustees that the election had not been legally conducted-the polls had not been keep open the length of time required by the statute. Hence it became nec- essary to call another election and this will be held tomorrow.
 With the original issue of $25.- 900 and with the $8,OO0 which it is hoped will be voted Saturday, there will be available the total sum of $33,O0O. This amount will complete the new school building as first planned, and will equip it with furniture and apparatus needed. It is though that there will be very few votes cast against the bonds.

Forest SerUice Notes

The resources of the National
 Forests are shown to be steadily
 increasing in value and use. They
 returned $34O, 900 more in the treasury this year than last; more timber is being sold. and nearly three-fourths of a million head of stock has been added to the carrying capacity of the for est ranges. A very large in- crease has taken place in their use for summer homes and other recreational purposes.
 The Secretary of Agriculture sounds strong warning against the proposition to turn the Ma tional Forests over to the states, or to disintegrate them by the passage of general grant laws such as the one attempted by the last session of congress, and wisely vetoed by the President. He points out that the govern ment has found it necessary to re-purchase essentially similar lands in the eastern mountains to prevent the destruction of their watershed value by private ex- ploitation. and urges that to part title with the western forests would be to repeat the same mis- take.
 The report of the Secretary shows that 2,OO0.OOO acres of public lands. partly forest lands, have been successfully cleaned of prairie dogs at a cost of 5c per acre, but that 22, ,0OO,O0 acres are still infested, to the serious detri- ment of their value for graz ing purposes. Nearly 5000 wolves and coyotes have been destroyed by the Department within the year, and a continu- ance of the work is strongly rec commended. The annual loss of livestock caused by predatory animals is estimated at SIP, ,000,- 900.
 The immediate adoption of a clear cut National Park policy is urged. The tendency toward wholesale establishment of Ma tional Parks is condemned as useless and confusing. All areas embracing outstanding scenic features and natural wonders, such as the Grand Canyon, the Yosemite and the Yellstone, should be made parks, and all other areas, i. e., areas chiefly valuable for the development and other material resources, should be left as National Forests. The transfer of the National Park Service from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture is suggested for consideration, and the necessity of the closest correlation and cooperation between the Park Service and the Forest Service is clearly explained.
 The passage of the Federal Aid Road Act is characterized as "one of the most important and far reaching steps in Nation al Forest development which has been taken for a long time."

Gopemor Hunt Starts Contest

From the Arizona Gazette of Dec. 7, we reprint the following anent the contest for governor of Arizona:
 Secretary of State Sidney Osborn has certified to Gov. Hunt the election of Tom Camp bell as Governor of ArIzona by a plurality of 30 votes and has also certified the election of the other state officials elected Nov. 7th. With the exception of Hunt the entire Democratic ticket is elect ed by pluralities ranging from 19, 470 to 536. Secretary Osborn is out of town today and there fore the issuance of the individ- uaI certificates of elections, in accordance with the usual GUS tom has been delayed. The Will son electors have carried the state by II. 4.646.
 'The anticipated contest of election over the office of gover- nor is now on and the matter IS properly before the court for consideration. Yesterday after noon Secretary of State Sidney Osborn completed his canvass of the returns from the counties and officially announced that Tom Campbell had received a plurality of thirty votes oyer Gov. G. w. P. Hunt.
 Immediately following his an- nouncement, Gov. Hunt. accom- panied by his counsel, Eugene s. Ives, Homer Wood and Attor- ney General Wiley B. Jones, ap- peared Tn the office of the clerk of the superior court and filed a petition for an inspection of all the votes cast for governor in the election of Nov. 2. This petition was accompanied by the customary fee of S1O, and Gov. Hunt gave bond in the sum of $500, Wood and Charles R. Howe, tax commissioner, being his bondsmen.
 This morning shortly after the opening of court. counsel for both sides appeared before Judge Stanford and what is expected to be a long drawn out legal battle began. The proceedings were brief, but they are regard ed ss merely preliminary. and those familiar with court pro- cedure and the handling o1 election contests are freely pre- dieting that this contest will bC drawn out for several months.
