WILL Be ECONOMICAL
But Idaho Governor Elect Goes
Light on Promises.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 3o.-The
new state administration will be
induced into Office next Monday.
The ceremony will be informal and
brief
Governor elect Davis has return
ed from the east where he attend
ed the conference of governors and
has been at work on his message,
which, it is promised, will depart
from the stereotyped lines of
promise. Mr.. Davis has some
ideassof his own and it may be
judged from conversations with
him that they are to be strictly
businesslike. Not only talking
economy, he will suggest ways to
bring it about, but not to an
extent to impair growing public
service.
Mr.. Davis has been in consulta
ton with other officers,elect, on
appointments, but as yet no an
nouncemeuts have been made. All
agreed that the best men available
should be gotten into the official
family to serve the state.
1t is understood frequent con-
sultatlons between state officers
and between heads of departments
will be held--a sort of cabinet pro-
gram-to produce team work. 1t
is also stated that a departmental
budget system is to be installed as
check against unnecessary ex
penses and in order to have a ready
record of accountability.

FOOD RULES STAND
Especially as to Margins AL
lowed to Dealers.

Boise, Dec. 28. That food ad-
ministration activities must con-
tinue in Idaho, and speculation in
licensed foodstuffs be cnrbed and
prohteering prevented, is made
clear in the following wire received
at the office of Administrator Bick-
nell from the United States food
administration:
"Partial rehabilitation of the
food administration and the with
drawal of many of its rules and
regulations have given the impress
sion in some quarters that all its
activities have ceased or are short
ly to cease. This is not the case.
The act imposes upon the admins
tration certain obligations which
continue until presidential procla-
nation releases US from the food
control act, and particularly the
obligation to curb profiteering and
speculation in licensed food pro-
ducts. This function must continue
to be performed, and there is no
intention OF relaxing in this direc-
tion.
at has been possible, now that
peace is assured, to cancel many
requirements for reports and many
of the details of the regulations,
but the profit margins and rules
have been for the most part re-
tanned, and will be enforced by re-
vocation Of licenses and other
appropriate penalties. 1t is expect
ed that it will be possible from
time to time to remove certain
commodities from the license list,
but this will be limited to COM
modities which do not seem likely
to be subject to possibility of
speculation and profiteering."

AN EXAMPLE OF REHABILITATION SOLDIERS
 (From Fridays Daily)

How the reconstruction of dis charged soldiers is worked out is shown in the case of Webster M. Roberts, member of Ernest Love Post and delegate to the state con vention of the American Legion, who leaves for San Francisco to arrange for vocational training.
 Roberts was invalided home from ihe Philippines, and was sent to Ari- zona for the benefit of the climate. Instead of being confined in hos pital--nis case not being severe-he was placed on a job in Prescott with Bert Tilton in the Music Store. He lis kept on this job to learn salesman ship under the course put out by the University of California extension service. His trip to San Francisco today is at the call of the vocational training headquarters there, and he will be presented with an extension course in journalism, which he will pursue in connection with his duties here.
 Roberts explained that this is an example of the rehabilitation work conducted by the war department for former service men, and available to every member of the American Legion upon presentation of proper claims to this service.
 He will be in Frisco but a week, during which time he will be exam ined by experts for his fitness to take the journalism course, and then sent back to Prescott, where the climate will rebuild his tissues and the gov ernment will rebuild his vocation to conform to the life-work he nas picked out for himself.

M'LAREN HERE TO . INSTALL GOLF LINKS
 (From Saturdays Daily.)

The construction of the golf links on the newly formed Hassayampa Country club will be commenced the first of the week under the super vision of Jock McLaren, who arrived from New York recently for the ex- press purpose of assisting the club in laying out its links. The Has sayampa Country club is fortunate in securing the services of Mir. Mo laren, as he has very wide experi- ence in this particular line of busi- ness.
 Born in the purple of golf a few miles from the worlds famous golf course, St. Andrews, Scotland, he knows the game from top to bottom. Some of the golf courses which MT, McLaren has installed abroad and in America are the Hampstead Golf club, which is the nearest golf grounds to London, England; the Royal Melbourne GoH club, Grelong Golf club, Sorrento Golf club, etc The latter today is Australias fla nous watering place. Also several courses in New Zealand and the Co- lombo Golf club, Ceylon, India. He also selected the ground for the Mid wick Golf club, Pasadena, California, and installed the beautiful putting clock on the private residence of P. c. Gates, California. In talking with Mr. McLaren today regarding the site selected for the Hassayampa Country club golf links, he states that the considers the formation of the ground ideal for a sporty nine hole golf course, with plenty of nat ural hazards and beautiful trees on the 80 acres of ground, blessed by nature in many ways for the purpose acquired by the newly formed club.
 The site selected for the club house is on the west side of Indian which when erected will command a superb view of the sur rounding country, also the golf course, tennis courts and above all one Of the finest miniature nine hole continuous clock golf practicing grounds which will be in the grass directly ill front of the club house

CONCRETE ROADS ARE
 STRONGLY ADVOCATED
(From Sundays Daily)

Forty years in Yavapai and Mar icopa counties has conclusively con- vinced me that there is only ono so- lution to the wagon road problem, and that Is having them construct ed of concrete material; to patcn them up here and there by annually spending huge sums is simply a waste of the taxpayers money and is like throwing it to the four winds, said James E. Bark of Humboldt yes terday.
 This representative citizcn has quite large interests in the above town, being president of the Arctic Ice and Meat company, and he also stated that he will not only vote for a $5,000,00O bond issue, but will hear tily support the movement. He goes into the minutest details ill his ad vocacy of the concrete road system, and i'll d pronounced manner offers data that cannot be ignored by any person who has followed for many years the havoc wrought by cloud bursts and high water to those high ways that were made only to be wiped out annually by the recurring of the same old storms that are again today in evidence ill every sec tion of the county.
 It is pathetic to have the money absolutely thrown away again this year, as it has been for the past 25 years, and then to nave the old job done over again, he says. NIT. Bark also believes in the high line eleva- ton for roads, thereby limiting to the minimum the exposure to dam aging cloudbursts or swollen streams emptying a huge volume of

SANTA FEE MAIN LINE
 CLOSED BY CLOUDBURST (From Sundays Daily)

Prescott again is enjoying the dis tinction of being on the main line oi the Santa Fe, due to a serious cloud burst occurring yesterday morning at an early hour at Houcks, east Of Winslow, when communication was suspended, and for the next two days all overland passengers will be detoured at Ash Fork via this city for points to the east. The havoc wrought by the tremendous water flow is reported to have been the most serious in the above section ever known, and over one mile of track has been washed away, making transfer impossible. Accordingly all trains for the east are to be contin- ued on a new schedule, and the first was due to pass through last night at about 10 o'clock, for Phoenix where the Southern Pacific will take charge until Deming, N NJ, is reached, that is on the Santa Fe sys- tenn. All west bound trains likewise will be handled at Demlng by the Southern Pacific, and after reaching Phoenix turned over to the s. F. P. & F., thence going to the coast via Prescott and Ash Fork.
 Prescott passengers who left Fri day night at 12 o'clock for the east were returned yesterday afternoon on the 3:3O train, and their report of the situation ill the north in fine storm zone was decidedly gloomy of communication being restored before next Tuesday at the earliest. Under conditions prevailing the Santa Fe is closed to traffic east of Ash Fork, the road being utilized to carry only material for rebuilding purposes.

FIRST WILD WEST MEDAL
 GIVEN TO F. D. ASSN
(From Fridays Daily.)

III D. Aitken and C. w. Davis some months ago presented to the Frontier Days association what is probably the first medal to be given in the west for Frontier Days sports.
 Just recently they had the medal mounted on a piece of black walnut, with the following legend written on the back:
 This medal is probably the first one given in the west for Frontier Days celebration honors. Was pur- chased by H. D. Aiken as secretary and treasurer of the celebration, held ill Prescott, Arizona, July 4th, 1888. Juan Leivas (whose name is inscribed on the medal as its its winner Caught C. w. Davis to ride a broncho when Davis was a boy. This medal was recovered from silver scrap donated to aviators' fund during the great world war, and was purchased by C. w. Davis and H. D. Aitken, who hereby present the same to the Prescott Frontier Days association, to be kept as a souvenir. Prescott, Arizona, July 4th, 1919."

MOTOR THIEVES BELIEVED OPEN
 WORK HERE
(From Friday,s DaiIylL

What county and city officials be- lieve, is possibly the beginning Of an attempted series of automobile thefts occurred night before last when one machine was stolen and one damaged by would-be thieves.
 The stolen car si a Dodge touring, belonging to C. H. Cunning. It was lifted from in front of Dunning's residence on South Mt. Vernon street.
 One or more thieves attempted to get away with the Studebaker be- longing to Secretary Grace SParkes of the Chamber of Commerce. It was close to midnight when Miss Sparkes heard someone fussing with a car, trying to get it started, but she opined it was neighbor, who had his car in the street nearby When morning came, she found that some one mad tried to start the car without key and failing, had torn out much of the wiring in an attempt to get contact.
 Garage and service station men are warning car owners not to leave them standing overnight in public streets, even though locked, for it is possible for men in the game to sup ply fake keys and start almost any brand of motor. Lock chains for the wheels are useful, but these can be removed if the thief has time and pa tience.
 IA vigorous search will be made for the purloiners of the Dunning car in the belief that a possible car swiping association can be broken up.
