Arizona Abounds In Places
 Where Sportsmen Will Find
 Hunting and Fishing Galore

try is West Chevelon, where brook and Verde trout abounded last year.
 Oak creek, in Coconino and Yavapai counties, may be reached by way of Prescott and Camp Verde and is said to be one of the most beautiful streams in Arizona. SpcckIed trout abound in it.
 In the Sierra Ancha mountains. which may be reached via Pine and Payson or by Pleasant Valley, Cherry creek, Trout creek and Rock creek can be found Pine creek is accessible be- tween Pine and Payson, up the Tonto from Roosevelt
 For those who prefer to fish where boating is possible the state offers many places. Lakeside in Navajo county is a beautiful body of water two miles long, an artificial lake, and may be reached by way of Prescott. Flagstaff and Holbrook. Near Flag staff is Lake Mary, also an artificial lake and also beautiful and a popular summer retret
 Mormon lake. a natural body of water holding rainbow trout, bass and croppie, and Stoneman lake also may be reached from Flagstaff. Roosevelt lake, of course, is fine fishing ground.
 Trout fishing may be had in the southern part of the state, good streams being found in the Graham mountains of Graham county, reached from Saggord; in the Catalinas, reached from Tucson, and on the route to Mount Lemon, where the upper Sa- bine with its rainbow trout is found. The hunter can find equally good spots for his particular sport and find them in all parts of the state. Inci- dentally, hunters should remember that June and July find wild berries ripe, with their attraction for bears, which are often found in the noun tains. as are mountain lions. Every season is open season for both.

STATE IS ALLOTTED
 \ TRAVELLING CRANE

Information was received by the state highway department yesterday from F. M. Molmquist, assistant state engineer, that he has been able to se- cure an allotment of a travelling crane to be used in the state repair shop soon to be erected at the repair yard. Mir Holmquist is in Washington at the present time working with the de- partment on securing of federal aid. The crane which has been allotted is able to handle the heaviest pieces of machinery and will greatly facilitate repair work.
 According to the report the depart ment of agriculture is apparently mak- ing every effort to secure road build ing equipment in accordance with the provisions, in the recently passed Kahn bill. There is, however, some tendency on the part of the war department to sell the better part of this equipment through it's sales department. It is be- heved that unless the states, which are being greatly benefited by securing equipment, bring additional pressure to bear through their senators and rep resentatives that a good deal of valu- able equipment will be sold without receiving prices at all commensurate with the present worth of the equip ment This is because the material is widely scattered over the United States and sold to the highest bidders at iso- lated places far from competition.
