INCREASES IN TAX VALUATIONS ARE DUE IN NORTHERN
 ARIZONA

Phoenix, Ariz., May 13.- Material increases in assess ed valuation of property in the northern tier of counties in Arizona will be made, it was announced today by the state tax commission, after the annual inspection of Yavapai, Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties. This completed the commissions state tour, it was said, and the commission will now t a ke up assessments on mines, telephone and tele- graph line and railroads.
 T h e commission stated that assessments of grazing lands in Coconine and Apa- che counties will be increas- ed and that at Holbrook all town property will be in- creased 25 to 150 percent. < Holbrook, it was stated, has been materially benefited by the operation of the newly constructed Apache railroad line operating trains daily from Holbrook to the new town of Cooley, near the boundary line between Apa- che and GiIa counties.
 The commission, having visited Cooley, described it as a thriving town of 700 to 800 inhabitants, having the largest sawmill in the state in operation. The mill is turning out 200, 1000 feet of lumber a day, members of the commission said, with a visible supply of lumber sui ficent to last 25 to 30 years.
 The northern part of Nav ajo county also was visited by the commission. Partic- ular attention was paid to the coal deposits at Keam's canyon and members of the board brought back speci- mems of what was declared to be high grade coal. They said the coal totals millions of tons, sufficient to supply the entire southwest for gen. erations to come, and added that the coal land would be open to lease and develop ment under recent act of congress.

NAVAJO COUNTY NOT
 REPORTED IN THE LIST

Record of cases of infect ious diseases reported to the State Board of Health dur ing the Month of April.
 Doctors are required by law to report promptly to the Local Health Officer all cases of certain diseases that are recognized as communi- cable. The purpose is self evident. When such cases are reported, it follows natu- rally that the necessary pre- cautions as to isolation, quar- |antine, etc, will be observed.
 According to the reports turned into the State Board of Health, there were no cases of Typhoid fever in Arizona. This may be true. It is a splendid thing if it is true, since it would show a ondition of cleanliness throughout the State that is very praiseworthy. In Co., chise, Navajo and Pima counties there were no com municable diseases at all re- ported. If this reflects con- ditions honestly. those coun- ties are very fortunate.
 The State Board of Health numbers the cases of com municable diseases reported during the month of April as follows:
 Chickenpox- Maricopa, 8; Mohave, 5.
 Diptheria - Apache, 1; Graham, 1; Greenlee, 2, Maricopa, 1.

WILL BUILD BOULEVARD TO
 TOP OF SAN FRANCISCO PEAKS

 l The following is condensed from a write-up in the Flag. staff Leader of May 11th:
 Construction of the IA mile scenic boulevard from Flagstaff to the top of the San Francisco Peaks, IA, feet high, is expected to be gin within the next 30 days. Announcement to this effect was made at The Leader office yesterday by John w. Weatherford of Flagstaff, and John Lynes of Los An geles, who, with Ralph B. Seely of Los Angeles, are the promoters of the boule- yard.
 Lynes and Seely are cotton raisers and land men of the Palo Verde, with headquart- CTS in Los Angeles.
 A. E. Warrington, gen. eral manager of the Cali forniaS Southern Railway com pany, who interviewed the people of Flagstaff last Oc- tober on behalf of the pro- posed boulevard, was unable to handle the proposition on occount of the Santa Fe not being able to take over the California Southern railroad. Had the Santa Fe taken it over, Warrington would have been released from his present duties and would have had the opportunity to take up the new work.
 Frank Murphy, contractor of Prescott and former resi- dent of Flagstaff, and c. c. Welsh, former Santa Fe con- tractor, associated with Mur- phy, have agreed to furnish all teams and equipment and build the road, and in return for their services, to accept stock in the company. They expect to start work within the next thirty days.
 Lynes and Seely, who are aviators, plan to fly from Phoenix to Flagstaff about Thursday of this week. They are now Investigating the route with the U. s. Aerial board, to see if it is a safe flight, on account of the alti- tude and mountains. It is the desire of the promoters to bring the airplane here in order to show the local peo- pie the proposed highway from the air.
 The proposed road is to be of decomposed granite, IA miles in length, and will take about four months to con- struct it. A lodge is to be built near the summit.
 Flagstaff and the entire state should get right behind thisproposition, which means so much to the entire south west.

PROCLAMATION
Designating May I7-22, 1920, as American
 Legion Week
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ] STATE OF ARIZONA, !
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.

| OFFICE Of IdE IONEhNOh.
 The American Legion, from May 17th to 22nd, will make an effort to secure the membership of all men and women who served in the World War, in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps, be- tween April 9th, 1917, and November 11th, 1918. It is hoped there will be an en- rollment in Arizona of the full quota of 1s, 72S new members based upon the total of enlistments from this State.
 The plan is one which should have the support of every loyal American. The Legion, as the ''Grand Army of the World War;" is the rightful successor of the pat riotic work of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Spanish War veterans. It's aims are lofty and yet simple: To uphold the Con stitution, to maintain law and order, to perpetuate 100 per cent Americanism, to preserve memories of the great war, to combat autoc- racy of both classes and masses, make right the master of might, , promote peace and good will, safe guard and transmit to pos terity the principles of jus tice, freedom and democ- -racy and to sanetify com radeship by devotion to mu- tual helpfulness.
 The soldiers of the World War have not only saved their own nation from op- pression and dishonor, but have saved the world from retrogression to the gross tyranny of militaristic gov ernment, and that from a single world center. Our re- public has been permitted to live and to work out it's aims, and democracy has been spared against the fiercest assault made upon it since the middle ages.
 There can be nothing but good resultant from organ ization of such a body as The American Legion, one that will uphold the Flag and civic righteousness until its mem bers shall have passed from earth. It would appear that no reason of worth can be advanced why the entire en- rollment of men and women of the World War should not be included in the Legion's muster rolls.
 Now, Therefore, I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of the State of Arizona, by vir- tue of the authority vested in me by law, do designate period from May 17th to 22nd, inclusive, 1920, as American Legion Week, and call upon all patriotic citi- zens to assist as best they may in securing to the Ari- zona posts of the organiza- tion new membership that shall at least reach the quota assigned the State.
 ! In Witness Whereof, 1 have
 hereunto set my
 hand and caused [sEALl the Great Seal of
 the State to be af-
 fixed.

AN INSIDE BATH
MAKES YOU LOOK
AND FEEL FRESH
Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, declaring this
is of vastly more Importance than OUT
side cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorbe impurities into the
blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast
glass OF water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in ii, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver. kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toX-
ins; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the alimentary canal be-
fore eating more food.
Those who wake up with bad breath
coated tongue. nasty taste or have a
dun, aching head. sailow complexion,
acid stomach: others who have bilious
attacks or constipation, should obtain
q quarter pound OF limestone phos-
phate at fthe drug store. This will
cost very little but is sufficient to show
the value Of inside bathing.
