SMITH INTRODUCES
 AN IMPORTANT BILL

Word was received this morning from Washington, D. C., to the effect that Senator Marcus A. Smith has in troduced a bill under the terms of which the United States will pay to the state of Arizona an annual rental of two cents per acre for all lands in cluded in the forest reserves.
 If this measure becomes law, the state will receive considerable rev enue, amounting in all to something near a quarter of million dollars an- nually, which will be applied to the general fund of the state.
 It is Senator Smiths idea, as ex- plained by him to Senator c. H. Ruth erford on the occasion of the latter's recent visit to Washington, that the state is entitled to this rental in view of the fact that it is practically inn possible to locate homesteads within the forest reserves. While the law provides for the location of "strictly agricultural" lands within forest re- serves, it has been found in practice that the privilege is of little value as the forestry department is naturally averse to such locations as are also the cattlemen who have grazing priv ileges within the forest limits.
 It is understood that the measure has strong support in committee and that there is every probability of its early enactment.-Jerome News.

DEATH FOR EDITH
 CAVELL'S BETRAYER

PARIS, Cept. 10.-Georges Gaston Quien, on trial before court-martial charged with having had reasonable dealings with the Germans and of having betrayed Edith Cavell to them, was convicted on Saturday and con- demned to death.
 M. d'Armon, counsel for Quien, oc- cupied all of the last session of the court-martial with an eloquent plea on behalf of his client. He endeav- ored to show that the name of Miss Cavell and the tremendous sensation created by her execution had influ- enced the public opinion against Quien.
 The advocate severely condemned former Emperor William for permit ting the crime again Miss Cavell, and the German officers for committing it. He was certain, he said, conviction of Quien would be an error of justice.
 The court-martial deliberated for three-quarters of an hour.

HOPE TO RE-ESTABLISH
 U. s. EMPLOYMENT OFFICE

E. T. Mccoy, examiner in charge of the U. S. Department of Labor em- ployment service at Phoenix, was in town last week conferring with J. c. Dolan, of the Flagstaff Lumber Co., and other employers with view to securing their cooperation in re- establishing the local employment of- flee and getting MT. Timberlake back here to take charge of it.
 MT. Mccoy went to Williams and Winslow, also, on the same errand, as both of those towns are in this terri tory.
 MT. Mccoy says that the employ ment service has been reorganized since the war in way that greatly increases its. effectiveness, that the demands upon it are increasing very steadily, and that employers of all classes are being greatly helped by it's work.
 No definite arrangements have been made as yet to reopen the office here, and further conferences will probably be held.

FOREST SERVICE NOTES } l++++++++*+%+$s < < |

E. S. Wheeler. senior highway en- gineer, from Albuquerque, was here yesterday and Wednesday to hok over some of the major road improvement projects in this section. He brought an assistant, Robert Devereaux, with him, and started him out on recon naissance surveys of the main north and-south road from Flagstaff to Clints We'll, and on the Camp Verde to Cinch Hook route, by the latter of which it is proposed to connect Camp Verde with the Strawberry and Pine countries. This preliminary work is to be done so that when construction is actually begun there will be as little delay as possible. .a~
 E. G. Miller, supervisor of the Co- conino National Forest, says that the building of a good north-and-south road will be tremendous advantage to Flagstaff, because it will make this the most convenient trading point fo, that big section south of us, which now does most of it's trading in Wins. low. It will be an advantage to the people there, also, as they will finf much better feed available on thi, road than on the one to Winslow.
 R. L. Hughes, engineer, is up iron Albuquerque, and established camI this week on the west side of Lake Mary for the crew that will extent the road around that way. 'i 'fiait

CONGRESSMAN KENDRICK
 ON THE PACKERS SITUATION
(Continued from Page 1.l

Personally, am unable to under stand how any one engaged in the in- dustry can be reconciled to market situation in which the slightest dis trust or suspicion as to fair play pre- vails. F'g @
 The separation of the stockyards from the packing houses so far as control goes, the placing of refrigera- tor cars through the railroads at the disposal of every shipper in the same manner that Pullman cars are now at the disposal of all travellers, and, finally, the establishment of a licens- ing system which will insure publicity are the three factors which in my mind are necessary to restore vital and real competition in the meat packing industry.
 The restoration of competition achieved, there will follow, I am sure, an immediate strengthening of every branch of the livestock industry. Producers will find it possible to raise more cattle and sheep, the consumer will find it possible to obtain meat more cheaply, more packers will en- gage in the business and larger volume will be done.
 Very truly yours,
 JOHN B. KENDRICK.

 In the party this year will be chief of staff, Al Doyle, his son Lee, and the Taught brothers of the Tonto Basin country, and Nelson, who has been caring for Gray's favorite horse here during the summer, getting him ac- climated for the journey. The Taught brothers are pioneers down in the Tonto country, where they have lived many years, and are famed for their prowess as hunters in the wilds of a country not often visited by the trav- eler.
 The trip will include the big elk hunt, which is to take place in the Chevalon Canyon country, and from there the party will go on in quest of bear, mountain lion, bobcats, and other predatory animals. While the hunt and vacation is ostensibly the main object of the famous writer, there is every reason to believe that another new book will figure largely in the outing.
 It is expected that the party will be outfitted and ready for an early morn- ing start for the southeast by Sep tember 18th.

CONDITION OF LIVE STOCK AND RANGES IN ARIZONA

Personal inspection of ranges and stock over the greater part Of the state reveals the most satisfactory conditions prevailing for years. Ex- cept along highways where overgraz- hg is apparent, pastures are .gener- ally excellent and browse has made a fine growth. Reservoirs are well filied and most water courses have running streams. |,
 Stockmen have begun to see the necessity of providing feed for hard winters and in many cases are grow ing crops of corn, milo, sorghums or hegari for supplementing pastures and browse. These crops are making an excellent showing in most parts of the state and in many places phenom- enal exhibits are seen.
 Light to heavy rains have occurred during the past week, restoring pas lures previously reported as beglnnln,g to deteriorate, condition particularly apparent near the Mexican border,
 Owing to the scarcity of feed and Pseverity of last winter much stock was sold so that there is now more grass than is needed for the stock on hand. It is probable that more cattle and sheep will be wintered at the higher attitudes the coming season owing to the abundance of forage.

JOHNNY PROCTOR JAILED
 FOR SLUCCING WOMAN

Johnny Proctor is back in the Coco niAo county jail, this time charged with aggravated assault, with goo1 chance for the penitentiary ahead.
 Proctor paid his latest bootlegging fine of $200 last week. Then he de- parted, vowing to keep away from here in the future. Alas! His good resolution was soon broken.
 He first went to Williams. There he was engaged by two colored women, Alice Martin and Mildred Williams, to take them to Lake Mary for their vacation. Gus Carlson, a lumberjack, came along with them. They did not stop at Lake Mary, but went on few miles beyond to a de- serted shack, where they set up tenn porary housekeeping. During the night one of the Flagstaff Lumber Co. camp men, "Big Hans," came in and bought demijohn of mescal-which Proctor had gotten out of cache on this side of Williams-paying $50 for it.
 Then the party came to Flagstaff. They applied for admittance at a cer- tain house here, and Proctor was in- formed that the officers were after him again. He decided to beat it back to Williams. The women decided to go also, hiring him to take them. They got part way to Williams, to Proctor's cache, where he got several pop bottles full of mescal. Soon they were drunk.
 Proctor next demanded pay from the women for their transportation One of them paid him $20. Then he put them out of the car. Starting or toward Williams, he ran his car of the bank on fill about five miles or this side of Williams. Then he hoofec it back to where the women were, anC started a rough house. One woman grabbed a hoe and the other a shovel in self protection, but without avail as Proctor gave them both a thorough mauling.
 In some way or other Proctor got to Williams, where he was found the next morning by some railroad men lying beside the tracks, drunk. Hs was locked up. Constable Scotty Nc. Dougall and Deputy Sheriff Howard Curtis, of Williams, after long hunt found Proctor's mescal cache. County Attorney Gold and Sheriff Harrington went to Williams on Tues. day and brought Proctor back to jail
