DESERVED A BETTER FATE
Frenehman Who lnsente5 Cold stor-
age is Declared to Have Literally
Starved TO Death.

Charles Teller, who invented cold
storage, starved to death in France
The inventor was a modest. shrink
ing little man, who never learned TO
distraat mankind. He gave his whole
life TO study and then he was robbed
Of the fruits Of his labor BY men 70
whom lie appealed for sid. Not bay
ing sufficient funds to market his
scheme for preserving foods by his
invention, he begged moneyed men
to try ont his scheme. They finally
stole the idea.
Few people in Chicago, where his
idea made the packers rich, knew
the man. England, which was saved
from starvation during the recent
war by his invention, hardly heard
of him. France forgot him until a
few years ago, when somebody dis
covered that the anniversary of the
first shipment of cold storage meat
into France was near. Then Teller
was sent for, and he was decorated
with the legion of honor before the
senate and the chamber of deputies
and the president aud premier of
France did him honor. He was sent
home with & guard of honor, and
again forgotten. Few knew that he
was even then almost without funds,
and that he often went without food.
His poverty was discovered after his
death from starvation.

ROPES MAY BE USED
 TO STOP SHEDDING

A summer shower occasionally makes it necessary for the driver of a truck equipped with solid tires to use some emergency device to pre- vent the skidding and slipping of the wheels. At such time the tire chains are usually in the garage and some makeshift has to be provided.
 The United States Tire Co. sug- gests that in such an emergency a rope wrapped around the tire at in- tervals will give the traction neces- sary and will do even less injury to the tires than chains. The rope should be reeved through the spokes and tied securely. It will wear long enough to meet the requirements.
 Trucks on solid tires are much less likely to skid than passenger autos, because they are heavier and stick to the road better, says the United States Tire Co. On slippery roads where passenger cars slew about wild fy, big trucks on solids will ride right along steadily. But frequently the solids will not grip the road, and in such cases the use of rope will fur nish plenty of traction.
 Many owners of trucks use ropes even in the winter instead of chains, because the ropes are less damaging to the tires. The ropes wear out rap idly and there is considerable ex- pense item, but the owners figure that the damage to tires is so much less than with steel chains that the cost of the rope pays for itself. r.

THE SAVING MADE
 BY GOOD ROADS

The improved roads of Milwaukee County, Wis, save s25,000 a day to the people who use them. This is the estimate of the county commissioner of highways, as reported to the Bu- reau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. The statistics are based on a census of the traffic taken periodically dur ing the past four years. The census is made by selecting 52 points scatter ed throughout the county, and making seven counts at each point, one for every day of the week. The count is not made on consecutive days, but at various periods from April to No- vember, so as to arrive at average conditions. This census is taken to determine the durability of certain types of pavement, according to the amount of traffic square yard. It shows that about 25,OO0 vehicles of all kinds travel the highways each day. Traffic on the road has increased about 42 per cent a year during the four years in which the survey has been made.

asked whether the city was in fnan- cial shape to pledge the money at once, as it must be ready within a short time and there can be no fur ther bonding or borrowing by the city. He said that the money could be loaned the highway fund from the sewer and water funds until the as- sessments were paid in.
 On motions of M. l. Powers and C. B. Wilson, the meeting went on record in favor of raising the money to meet federal aid in both city and county, the county's portion to be secured by bonding. On motion, the chairman of the meeting, L. c. Riley, appointed committee to inves- tigate further, formulate plans, and report back to a future mass meeting. The committee is composed of M. l. Powers, chairman, T. A. Riordan, and w. w. Durham, of Flagstaff, and R. A. Wilkerson and Jerrie w. Lee, of Williams.
 The committee will undoubtedly favor the Flagstaff appropriation and an issue of at least $150, ,0O0 of county bonds, and it is possible. that they will recommend bonding the county for $20O, 900, as, under the Forest Reserve act, SPOT 900 has been offered by the government for the road south from Williams to Oak Creek, Sedona, Clarkdale, Camp Verde, Jerome and Prescott, providing Coconino and the other counties interested raise like amount between them.
 As MT. Wright aptly expresses it, "We can have about $400,OO0 worth of new, permanent roads built next year for only $200,000. It is a won derful bargain, that can not be beat. The assessed value of property in this county is $20,0OO,000 If we raise the $200, 900 in forty-year bonds for roads it will increase the annual taxes for that period only 75 cents on each s1,000 worth of property. If you have a 1000 home your taxes will be only $500 higher. On a $1,000 automo- bile your tax will be increased only 75 cents. The saving in jolts, wear and tear, and time, both to automobil- ists and farmers hauling loads, will be more than that on every ten miles travelled on the new highway. Every taxpayer in the county will be bene- fited by the use of this highway and because when it is completed and taken over by. the state for future maintenance much more of our road money and attention can be devoted to branch roads. Moreover, the property lying within five miles of the roads it is proposed to improve pays more than one-half of the taxes of the county"
 Coconino county now has no bond- ed road indebtedness whatever. The only bonds outstanding against the county is an issue of $159,000, which was apportioned this county when it was separated from Yavapai county. Of this amount there is $42,000 on hand in the state treasury to the credit of this county, and the balance of the indebtedness will be raised from the sale of public lands. so that in 1928 the total present indebtedness will be paid off without any further tax levy against the taxpayers of the county.
 Thus, it will be readily seen, Coco nino county is in an excellent finan- cial position to meet the federal aid offer.

It is possible to clear out Ford oil pipe which has become clogged by taking off the front gearplate, which discloses the cam gear, and this is removed with a puller. Now the end of the pipe is exposed, and to this an air hose is connected, the air is turned on and the obstruction is blown out. Without this little trick it is necessary to tear down the en- zine to get at an obstruction of this kind.

VALUATION OF STATES PROPERTY WILL PASS
 BILLION DOLLAR MARK

The seventh annual Arizona tax conference opened at Grand Canyon Monday with Chairman c. M. Zander, of the state tax commission, in the chair. Representatives were present from all the fourteen counties of the state and from a number of the large companies in Arizona, whose proper ties will be investigated and assessed. Among officials here it is generally conceded that the total assessed val uation of all property in Arizona will reach the billion-dollar mark this year.
 Compilations prepared for the tax commission show that during the past 21 years, the assessed valuation of property in the state has climbed from $2S,0O0, ,000 in 1897 to S834, ,0O0,- 900 in 1918. Easing their calculations on these figures, officials say Arizona is certain to pass the billion-dollar mark in 1919.
 Following are the official figures, showing the assessed valuation of all state property for taxation purposes from 1897 to 1918, inclusive:
 1897, $28,047, ,176.40
