WHITEHEAD WINS
IN RATHER BOUT

Paul Whitehead has at last put over
tale of thrilling adventure fraught
with all the peril that goes with seven
reels Of Wild Bill Hart without being
given the 'official berry" by the
dormitory crew. Tuesday evening,
while on his way to the club, White
discovered a five foot rattler coiled
in path near the grounds and i'm.
mediately gave battle. After bad
fifteen minutes with the snake Paul
succeeded in delivering plexus punch
and then carried his trophy to the
club porch to give the necessary sup
port to his tale of victory. The snake
had seven rattles and a button.

Pinal county will vote on a million
dollar issue of road bonds on Septem-
ber 10th, according to action taken by
the Pinal county road commission at
a meeting just held at Florence ex-
tending over period of two days.
The board of supervisors will be asked
to ratify the action taken at their
next meeting, and as the action re-
ceived the unqualified endorsement of
the Florence chamber of commerce
and every other similar organization
in the county, it is probable the pro-
posed issue will be finally approved
at one million dollars.
AS the two mining companies, the
Ray Con and the Magma Copper Co
pay large percentage of taxes of the
county, and as the heads of these
companies have tentatively approved
the issue, it seems probable that the
question, when, submitted, will be ap
proved at the election.
The following table shows the roads
to be built and the amount of money
appropriated for each road, according
to the program so far outlined:
