rolmen not only to pick up camp fires along the ain-travelled roads but to get to fire RIGHT NOW. The mo- trocycle has come to stay on this Forest and the next step is to secure one of these vans or side cars so that the patrolman can take not only him self but some chuck, water and some fire tools, up to 500 lbs, so he can stay with a fire until it is out. With the good roads in all directions out of Flagstaff the motorcycle has proved invaluable in fire protection and the local forest office is now looking for ward to having one of these side cars for local use.

OPINION OF A FIGHTER

John l.. Sullivan, who used to be the best individual, unarmed fighter in the world, says that the only man the Kaiser is afraid of is Theodore Roosevelt, and that when Congress sends the Col. to the front with an army, "Bill Hohenzollern will know he has a fighter on his hands," John l.. might have added that the people of this country will also know then that there is a real fight on. Until then we shall not know when the watchful waiting will end.

 Believing in preparedness the For. est Service is trying out new Motor. cycle Van on the Gila Forest neal Silver City. This van, as the illustra. ton shows, is side-car for a motor. cycle, will carry 500 lbs, and is to be used to get tools and supplies quickly to forest fires.

Bedell, a former motor cycle patrolman here is planning to take the transcontinental run begin ing on June 5, from Los Angeles to New York City, in which he will try to break Cannon Ball" Bakers record. After this race is over Bedell will probably go to France in the American Motorcycle corps or as a member of the American Forestry Regiment.

Governor Hunt has concluded to show his supreme contempt for the people and courts of Arizona, by taking his defeat up to the supreme court. Regardless of politics, the peo- pie of the state of Arizona are pa triotic and not especially interested in helping to muddy the water to boost some ones individual game.

Mayor General J. J. Pershing has been appointed by President Wilson as the first American "toastmaster' to visit French soil and assist the allies in making things disagreeable for the Kaiser. It is expected that a small party of inquisitive Americans numbering some 10000 or more, will soon go over to assist Gen. Pershing on his expedition, with more to follow later if their services are required.

The sheepmen of Northern Arizona were we'll pleased to learn of the ap- pointment by Governor Campbell of George T. Campbell as a member of the state sheep sanitary board. It meets with popular approval as does the appointment of N. J.

BOUND TO GET TO THE
 FRONT SOMEHOW

Some one told us that Col. Breen of the Coconino Sun was going to the front with regiment of Northern Ariona fighters. We don't believe it. The Sun has installed an up-to-date stereotyping plant. This sounds like that Col. Breen is going to stay at home. He is determined to make the Sun the biggest paper this side of Los Angeles. Herald.

COLLEGE MEN ONLY

The War Department has ruled that a man must have college dip Iona to qualify for training as an army aviator. Of course, some col iege men have been high fiers; but the absurdity of the rule is evident when one thinks of the mechanicians who know all about aeroplanes and who cannot enter the government service for lack of piece of parch- ment.

DISTRICT COURT

The adjourned term of the Sa-
vened January 30th.
Harry Morgart charged with the
larceny of a colt by Elmer Headlee
was tried at the instance of the Peo-
pie of the State of Colorado and
promptly acquitted
1t seems that in 1916 Morgart
claimed the ownership of the animal
which carried his brand and Jesse
Booth denying his claim took it into
his possession. Replevin was
brought and tried in the Courts of
Alamosa County the District Court
finally adjudging the title to Nor
CART Jesse Booth in the meantime
had sold the colt to Elmer Headlee
and Mr.. Morgart taking his property
into his possession information
charging larceny was filed against
him, but the former judgment of the
District Court introduced in evidence
was apparently conclusive evidence
in the minds of the Jury that a man
could not be guilty of stealing his
own property.
Other cases tried were w. II.
Brickel Jr. VS.. James K Holmes and
Ira Bacon and w. II. Brckel, Jr. VS..
j. x. Holmes; these cases grew out
of some trespassing, charged by Mr..
Brickel against the defendants Bac-
on and Holmes, for running their
stock upon his pasture and destroy
ing his grass. Mr.. Brickel was
awarded in the one case $3.50 and
in the other 1880

FIRE APPARATUS ON HORSES

A. l.. SweitZer went to Denver
Sunday night to attend meeting of
the Forest Supervisors of the state
this week.
One of the new things to be intro
duced by the service and which was
discussed at the session Wednesday
is the scheme for fire fighting. 1t is
proposed to have a mounted fire ap-
paratus the equipment to consist of
two water bags strapped to a pack
saddle in much the same manner as
panniers are used. The bags are
to be connected to a point in the
shape of a letter T. a long piece of
hose joining the two and going to
the force pump, which will throw
stream of water thirty to forty feet
The horse with his load of 200
pounds will trail after the ranger.
mounted on another horse, and fires
in logs, which start large conflgra-
tions in the forests can be easily put
out as well as the smouldering kind
among leaves and shrubbery. 1t
saves the ranger the necessity of
going back miles for water and car
rying it in buckets. A bag will carry
ten and three-qLartT gallons of
water and the forestry service esti-
mates that the total cost of each
outfit will he $33. There will be
eight of them in use in the district
during the summer. They cores
pond to the Mexican "alforgas" or
pack. The bags have funnel at
tachment which permits the ranger
to fill them without getting off his
horse.

vironment.
He died Saturday morning, Jan.
27th, at eight O'Clock at the resi-
dence of his son William S. Woods,
aged S3 years months days. Be-

CITY COUNCIL TAKES
PROCEEDS OF THE "KITTY''

Last Sunday afternoon, presum-
ably in pursuance of inside" infor-
nation, the City and County officers
visited house in Sunnyside Addi-
ton and there registered the names
of number of our citizens who were
presumed to be guilty of an infrac-
ton of the laws relating to the ma
tional pas ime-not the national
SPORT and a certain other diver
sion sometimes termed Shooting
craps
These parties were eventually
urged to appear before Justice Hen
der and contribute a portion of their
worldly goods to the public excheq-
uer and the simple request seemed
to prove sufficient, being met without
demur.
II has not been learned whether
or not there was a leak" or who
was responsible for it or under what
circumstances, but no other names
being available, we are constrained
to the belief it was the Honorable
Thomas Lawson.

HOG ROAST WILL OUTDO
FORMER AFFAIRS

AS the time draws near for the an
nual hog roast by the Monte Vista
Hog Growers association, which
comes on next Friday night, Feb. 8,
the lack of seating and serving fac
ilities becomes more apparent to the
committee on arrangements. For
this reason the invitations are res
tricted to each member of the associ-
alton and wife, or lady friend. The
member must be in good standing or
no invitation.
The banquet and entertainment
this year promise to exceed in ex-
cellence the former annual func-
tions.
The banquet will start promptly
at 700 p. m. Immediately following
the executive meeting at o'clock.
