The development of the national forest road systems in New Mexico and Arizona, as well as throughout the national forests of the country, is given great impetus by the terms of the postoffice appropriations act which the president has just signed. Besides increasing by $200, 100000 the total fund available for expenditure by the secretary of agriculture $9,. 000,000 for roads and trails within or partly within the forests.
 The local officials of the forest ser vice, in cooperation with the office of public roads and the states of Arizo- no and New Mexico and various coun- ties of those state, have already made plans for extensive road and trail con- struction. The location surveys for some of these roads have already been completed, so that construction can be started in the spring as rapidly as la Dor and equipment can be secured.
 The law also authorizes the secre- tary of war to transfer to the secre- tary of agriculture material, equip ment, and supplies suitable for high way improvement and not needed by the war department. While most of this will be distributed among the highway commission of the states for use on federal aid road projects, not to exceed 10 per cent may be reserv- ed by the secretary of agriculture for use in building national forest roads and other roads constructed under his direct supervision.
 The $9,000,000 fund may be used for maintainance as we'll as survey and construction. The new legisla- tion, like the federal aid roads act, authorize the building of roads and trails necessary for the use and de- velopment of national forest resources or desirable for the proper adminis- tration, protection, and improvement of any forest where cooperative To- cal contributions can be obtained; but in addition to this contains new fea- ture of much importance.
 This new feature permits the sec retary of agriculture without the CO., operation of local officials to build and maintain "any road or trail with in a national forest which he finds necessary for the proper administra- ton, protection, and improvement of such forest, or which in his opinion is of national importance" In view of forestry officials this law is the most important step ever taken for rapid development of national forest roads system, and will be of inestimable benefit to the local public.

day and until such time as the water shortage should be remedied, they would not be furnished any water over that needed for domestic purposes, this amount to be limited to 1500 gall Ions daily.
 The A. l.. & T. Co.,, in its represen- tations to the city authorities after they were informed of this, according to statements made in the council, stated that they were at all times glad to discontinue using the water when ever it was found necessary, but that they felt they had certain legal rights as to water from the common source that were not appreciated by the council, and that they intended to see that these legal rights were ac- knowledged and upheld. It seems that in 1898 there was an agreement en- tered into between the Santa Fe & Pacific railroad company and the town of Flagstaff in which the suburb of Milton was included in the water ben efits and it was on this agreement that the company at present bases its claims to an equal right with the town to water from the common source. The city officials, however, claim that a deed, of date after this agreement, and abrogating that agree ment, from the Santa Fe Land Im- provement company to the Town of Flagstaff of the land where the pres ent reservoir now stand and of all water rights, completely annuls the old agreement. The council stated that it only had desire to furnish water to every one needing it in an equitable and just manner but that they felt that since the water con- tract between the A. L. & T. Co. and the Town of Flagstaff had expired, the company had no legal rights to water now under the old agreement and the matter would have to be ar ranged in some manner. The water committee was asked to look into the matter thoroughly and prepare equi- table rates at which water could be sold in the future to persons outside of the town limits for manufacturing purposes. It was pointed out that the rate should be made higher than that asked from those residing in the city since those outside were. bearing no

NEW AUTO TOP SHOP.

A new and needed business is mak, ing it's bow to the public of Flagstaff. W. H. Switzer has planned an auto top trimming and auto painting shop which will be found in the building on west Railroad avenue formerly occu- pied by the Northern Arizona Leader.
 E. N. Switzer and E. R. Woods will be in active charge. The firm will de- vote itself exclusively to the painting of autos and the making, repairing and trimming of auto tops. Before they could get the business under way, calls for the work they plan doing commenced coming in and it seems that opportunities for a firm of that nature are large.

who would not be disappointed as a
contemporaneous musical farce and not

There are two composers in Lionel

on the programme and to them must go

score, while to some unknown native
genius Of syncopation belong several
numbers that possibly appealed more TO
the audience.
Fred Thompson wrote the new text,
with further local adornments from an
undisolosed author Of undoubtedly local
origin. The result was happy, since the
daintiness and somewhat slowly moving
