KILLING OFF UTAH'S
 WILD RANGE HORSES

Americans who like adventure and excitement in a hunt are advised to try their hand at hunting wild horses. That they will find this sport quite as thrilling as cornering tiger, is the opinion of sportsman who has just returned from a months hunt in Skull Valley, near the Utah-Nevada line.
 There are thousands of wild horses in this valley and ranch owners in that district have begun a war of ex- termination. The wild steeds are be- coming very troublesome, leading away domesticated stock and demol- ishing fences and damaging, property in general. Before the plan of shoot ing these horses was adopted, the old ranchers tried corralling and shipping them to eastern markets. The ex- pense of catching and shipping the animals was far aboves possible prof its, however, and the danger connect ed with attempts at capture also were dispropo1tionate. The horses are de- cidedly vicious, and several cases are cited where they literally dashed their brains out against tree, or post, rather than submit to capture. ,
 The expedition here referred to in cluded several members, and during the month of wild horse stalking the party shot one hundred and two ani- mals. The largest days shooting was ten head. This number was made possible only by the fact that the leaders of two bands of wild horses met at waterhole and immediately began battle for supremacy.
 A fight of this kind is always to the death, and the most exciting period of the hunt was spent in watching the two wild beasts biting, tearing, and kicking, while members of the two bands intermingled and looked on, taking care to keep away from flying hoofs. Ranchers in Skull Valley invite shooting parties to go after the wild horses, and furnish guides and other necessary supplies. Estimate of the number of wild horses in the valley run as high as fifteen thousand.

PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING
 MONDAY, OCT 27, ROOSEVELT DAY

In listing great Americans, the na- tion and the world have given high place to the name of Theodore Roose- welt. The purity of his life, his devo- ton to the land of his birth, the higb ideals he followed, as well as advo. cated, and the services, both civil and military, which he so wholeheartedly rendered to his fellowmen have all been considered in according to him the rightful title, Theodore Roose- welt, American"
 As long as the state of Arizona shall have existence the memory of Theodore Roosevelt will endure in the hearts of the people, for here espe- cially he will be remembered through that greatest of all reclamation works, the Roosevelt project, which created an empire from the desert, and was possible only because of his effective influence at a critical time. This very rugged monument, no mere statue or work of art in bronze or marble, is typical of the man whose name it bears--a fountain of good to the peo- plea direct benefactor to thousands of homes. It is such a monument as he would have wished and within a state made doubly dear to him as the homo of many of that gallant regiment that followed him on Cuban battlefields.
 The nation at large has now under taken to honor the memory of the hero who has passed. The Roosevelt Memorial Association has now been formed, open to the membership of all patriotic Americans, to secure for pos terity the Roosevelt home at Oyster

LADIES NARROWLY
 ESCAPE DEATH IN AN
 AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Four Flagstaff ladies and a little child miraculously escaped death on Sunday, returning from Grand Can yon, when their car got away on a very steep hill, and overturned twice into deep gully.
 It was Mrs. Wm. Rudd's car, and she was driving. With her were her little daughter, Velma, Miss Lucille Nolan, Miss Mabel Milligan, and Mrs. J. w. Piner.
 After passing Grand View, they got on the wrong road, toward Desert View. After a little they came to a very steep hill, and had partly de- scended it when Mrs. Rudd found the brakes were not holding. At the same time there seemed to be something wrong with the steering gear, for she found it impossible to turn the car into the bank at one side of the road, but it persisted in turning toward the deep gully on the other side. As it got out of the track, it bumped over a lot of boulders, then, reaching the edge, turned over, then turned over again, landing fifty or more feet be- low the road level.
 Mrs. Finer was the only one who was not thrown clear of the car. She was pinned down between the seats by the battery box and was badly bruised. All of the others were more or less badly bruised and all were in a very nervous condition for some time fol- lowing their terrible experience.
 Mrs. Rudd managed to walk back to the main road, though in an almost fainting condition, where Martin Bug geln found her and carried her back to the canyon, two other cars picking up the others, getting them to the Swinnerton home, where Mrs. Swin- merton and mother gave them first-aid, after which they were carried to the Fl Tovar, where physician and nurse attended them until they left, on the train, for this city, where they arrived early Monday morning. Miss Nolan who was the most severely injured was taken to the Milton hospital, where she soon began to improve.
 The relatives of those in the party, anxious over their non-appearance on Sunday night, had decided to go and meet them, and Mir. Milligan was ready to start, at II o'clock, when a telegram, which had been several hours in transit, arrived, saying that the party had had car trouble, but were safe.
 Mrs. Rudd says that one of the noteworthy things about the accident was the fact that none of the party screamed.

 "Oh, yes," he yawned, "the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Owens and Sir Frank Bowdin, all o1 London"
 Say" he chuckled, you know, the duke had an Fl Tovar chauffeur take him all around up there the other night, and when he got back to the hotel he thanked him for his trouble. Old Choffy expected at least five dollar tip-and that's what he got!-
 "Yes?" l said, also yawning, just to let him see that these high and mighties bored me, too.
 "Yesp he said.

 In this memorial Arizona must have no small part and in every com munity it is hoped that the Associa- ton Membership Campaign will be actively conducted from October 20 to 27, with special participation by all the schools and churches. It is considered particularly fitting that the last day of the campaign should be set aside for public observances.
 Now, therefore, I, Thomas F.. Campbell, governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby set aside Monday, October 27, 1919, as Roosevelt Day." and do request and urge that on that day every effort be put forth to insure the success of the Memorial Cam paign, and that on the evening of such day there will be held public assem- plies at which the special subject be "The Americanism of Theodore Roosevelt"
 In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed.

LADIES MEET ROAD HOG

While on their way to Grand Can yon Saturday morning, when about five miles this side of the hotel, Mrs. R. G. Stevenson of Flagstaff and Mrs. Chas. Hughes of Jerome, driving the latter's Buick Six roadster, were run into by travelling man coming this way. He was coming down a hill which they were ascending.
 A spring, guard and fender on the Buick were smashed. The man kept right on, and the ladies finding they could not start their car, set out to walk the rest of the way to the can- yon. Fortunately, the road-hog dis covered in the meantime that his car had not escaped without injury, so he started back to the canyon, and, over taking them, condescended to give lem a ride. Mir. Stevenson sent new spring up Sunday, and the ladies drove back that afternoon.

HOW LEGISLATORS MUST

Pierre, c. d., Dec. 13.-Those who
have in mind being legislative candi-
dates should discover that there is a
provision in the Richards primary law
which makes the procedure Of trying
TO be a candidate diff rent for some
of the represe ntatives and senator's
than under the old law. IL a legislator
comes from n district which is COM
posed of more than one county, the
county convention cannot name him.
He must, instead, have an independent
party petition, and file it with the
secretary of state before January l..
Unless he does this, he cannot be con-
sldered a candidate. This will apply
TO a lumber of the senator's, as quite
a few of the senatorial districts are
made up of more thar one county. And
it also applies to some of the represen.
