CORN CROP is SAVED
Recent Frost Comes After Big
Yield Is Past Danger.
Big Increase i'll Apples, Barley, POta-
toes and Beans Spring Wheat
Receives a Slight Backset.

Washington, D. C.-The country's
enormous corn crop has run unharm-
ed the gauntlet of dangers that faced
it during the doubtful days and nights
of September and lays into the lap
of mellow October 43,000,000 bushels
more of ripened ears than it could
promise at the beginning of that
month, the department of agricul-
ture commented today in issuing the
October crop report forecasting a
yield of 2,900,511 900 bushels. Prac-
tically all of the crop has, or will,
mature without frost damage, assur-
ing high feeding value. Husking and
cribbing has begun.
Blight, scab and black rust, to-
gether with minor ills, brought the
good early prospects for spring wheat
in the north central producing Sec
ton down until the reckoning now
shows almost 100000 bushels less
than forecast a month ago, the total
crop being placed at 203 100000 bush
els.
Barley showed an increase of more
than 100000 bushels; white potatoes
an increase of $4,000 bushels; buck
wheat, 100000 bushels; apples 3,479,-
900 bushels, and beans, 1927 600
bushels.
Reduced forecasts were. given for
oats with a yield lessened by 5,294,-
900 bushels; sweet potatoes, with a
decrease of 100000 bushels, and to-
bacco, with $4,000 pounds.

F. M. WILKINSON ce-President of the Commercial National Bank

With final preparations well under way for the opening of the Commercial National bank comes the announce ment of the election of F. M. Wilkin- son, one of the valleys foremost busi- ness men and ranchers, as -presi. dent.
 MT. Wilkinson is a native of the state of Illinois, leaving Evanston Il years ago for Arizona and settling or ] his ranch east of Phoenix where he still resides.
 Since coming to the valley MT. Will kinson has been closely identified with all movements to the interest of the ranchers and that his work has been fully appreciated is well evidenced by the fact that he has been chosen as member of the board of governors of the Water Users association for six terms and Is at present, by vote of the ranehers of the valley, president of that association.
 The Commercial National bank is indeed to be congratulated in pro- curing man of MT. Wilkinson's high standing as an officer and director. and he will without doubt prove a great asset to this new financial in stftution.

fourths of mile in length would cost about s750.000 or $500, 1000, the governor says, and the cost would exceed any amount which the governor could di- vert for that purpose A special ses- sion of the legislature, 1t Is believed, would be necessary to provide for the construction of 8 new bridge and the abandonment of the present costly structure.
 The governor, accompanied by State Engineer Thomas Maddock, visited the Agua Fria bridge yesterday afternoon and also inspected bridge sites for sev- eral mile sabove and below the pres ent location.
 Temporary repairs on the present bridge, intended to sArve during the present emergency and costing about $2,000 will put the highway crossing at the Agua Fria in passable condition within a week or ten days, but the expedient is not expected to withstand small flood
 The importance of the bridge, ac- cording to the engineers data. is para mount. no practical alternative cross ings being available and a heavy traf- lie being accustomed to the present route.
 Governor Campbell has not said that he will call special session of the legislature to deal with the problem but he has said that a crossing must be provided for the trans river traftlc He has said also, that substitute bridge would cost about $750 900 or $S00,000 and that any money expended on the present structure can be ex. pected to go with the next flood that comes along
 A special session of the legislature Is contemplated soon for the express purpose of obtaining a vote on the woman's suffrage amendment. The governor is on record for the intention of reserving that session solely for ac- ton on the amendment, but his stand on that point was made prior to the wreck of the Agua Fria bridge.

SPECIAL SESSION MAY
 BE CALLED TO PROVIDE FUR AGUA FRA BRIDGE

Confronted with a baffling problem, involving both haste and caution, Gov ernor Campbell announces that he is giving the fullest consideration to the proposed construction of the Agua Fria bridge or the alternative of abandon ing 1t for new bridge in a more suit able location.
 The Agua Fria bridge was wrecked Thanksgiving night when the flooo waters took out both approaches and 227 feet of the main structure. The wreck was the second of it's kind, a former flood relieving the bridge of both approaches which subsequently were rebuilt. The governor has a s350.- 900 emergency fund at his disposal. which he believes can be used for the reconstruction of the bridge, but hesi. | tates to put the money in the path of certain floods that are sure to wreck or render useless any bridge that can | be built.
