Mr.. l. H. King, who has some
very good mining claims on the

mountains, in the vicinity of the
Washington Camp road, was in
Nogales yesterday.
Monday there were opened
ten miles of the State Highway

five miles being in Pima county
five miles in Santa Cruz. But
about eight miles remain to con-
truct before completion of that
highway. With that done time
between Tucson and the line
city will be shortened greatly.
Upon their property on North
Grand Avenue, that part of
that thoroughfare which the
county reaches insides the town
and holds, Karns brothers ms,
are erecting a large warehouse
of concrete construction. The
building consists of a single
story and a basement, each
floor having 5000 square feet Of
surface.
In making mention of the
transfer of the plumbing busi-
ness of Mr.. A. S. Noon to Mr..
Otto Mayer, "The Oasis" over

assertion that the electrical
business had been taken over
also by Mr.. Mayer. That is re-
tanned by Mr.. Noon, who in
tends enlarging the business and
increasing the range and
variety of the stock carried. Mr..
Mayer will confine himself to
the plumbing end of the busi-
ness.
Yesterday Mr.. A. w. Noon,

started for Fort Sam Houston,

later telegraphic order for the
young man to report at San
Diego instead. The later orde,
was transmitted to him at Tue

stead of eastward. The young
man is very proficients in
mechanics, and he will make
good in the Aviation Corps. He
is another of the young soldiers
Of whom Nogales is proud.

CONGRESSIONAL ''POST MORTEMS.' -

To a whist player these various congressional in

Quently by players after every hand has been
played They tell where this player should have LED

criticism the most n; ;,

having failed to provide the army with arms and

Shipping Board is at fault for having failed to mateaze
a great mercantile navy within eight months time.
And these grave and reverend seigneurs cannot
that the fault lies with themselves But SO plain and
palpabe that fact that rreverent writer East

Keep Arizona Ranges
For Arizona Cattle

Phoenix, January 15.-The
executive committee of the
State Council of Defense, after
consideration of Arizona range
conditions from many angles,
has endorsed the following re-
solution:
That it is the sense of the
Committee of Food Production
of the Arizona Council of De-
fense that, owing to the con-
dition on the range reported
as the result of careful in
vestigation of the matter in
every county by the Bureau Of
Crop Estimates and other re-
liable sources, we recommend to
the Executive Committee of the
State Council of Defense that
they promptly take necessary
action to prevent further inn
portation to the state of range
cattle and sheep until the pre-
sent range conditions are mat
erially improved.

forming thousand and one duties at

way of statistics this enthusiast

acres of farm lands in this country
are devoted to wheat growing, a.
100000 acres are given up to oats and
10000 acres to hay. two articles of

Ninety-five million acres for horse
feed and only 6G,000.O00 for wheat in
these times, when every acre counts,

ion.
Having practically vanduished the
horse in the fed of passenger trans
portation. the automobile is now TAX
ing new line of attack by making
a strong bid for supremacy in the
field of truck transportation.
A statistician estimates that nearly
100000 truck tires are now in use on
commercial vehicles in this country.
The trucks in use already have sup
and it is safe to say that when the
war is over and there is a surplusage
of motive power the auto trucks will
stay and the horses will go. The
