most successful dinner Wednesday
evening, December 2, at Ray. There
were many important matters dis
cussed, the most important of which
was the appointment Of Mr.. Heating,
mayor of Florence, as a representa-
tive of this body to attend the con-
vention at Birmingham of the Bank
head highway and use his influence in
getting the routing through Pinal
county. There were thirty-six pres
ent and some very interesting talks
were given. In addition to endorsing
Mr.. Heating endorsement was also
made of record Whereby Mr.. Doty
should be made fair commissioner
and immigration commissioner, he to
maintain offices at the court house in
Florence. This is a post formerly

IN ATHLETICS
At RAY HIGH

A great deal of interest is being
manifested in school athletics. About
fifty of Ray High school folks went
to Florence last Wednesday week ago
and played their first basketball
game of the season. Florence team
won the game by a score of 1912, but
the local team made such a promising
showing that Coach Davis of Ray as
sured us that when Florence comes
to Ray we will carry the big end of
the score.
Folks who went to Florence say
that they were well entertained in the
county seat, but that is not a marker
to the good time the boys and girls
of Ray will furnish the Florence folks.
Since the electric lights have been
placed on the basketball court the
basketball team has been having
games with the "All Stars" team of
Ray. "All Stars" play good game,
but so far they always manage to
hold the small end of the score.
The school yells and the school
songs are being drilled by Miss Car
roll, music teacher. The school Of
ficials will appreciate any encourage
ment the patrons of the school may
lend in making the season a success
full one.

BOND BUYERS
MUST CARRY
OUT CONTRACT
With COUNTY
County Attorney Is Instruc-
ted BY Supervisors And
County Highway Commits
sion To Compel Compli-
ance With Agreement

Florence, Dec 3.-That the board
of supervisors and the highway com
mission of Pinal county are deter
mined that the eastern brokers who
purchased a million dollar bond issue
OF ~Pinal county last year shall not
escape paying for the same, is evi-
denced by the fact that on Saturday
the board met at Florence jointly with
the highway commission and reso-
luton was passed giving the county
attorney instructions to Immediately
demand that the bond buyers of Chi
cago take up the remaining bonds.
About one-half of the bonds, which
were sold to the Chicago parties, have
been paid for, and the highway COM
mission has been busily engaged in
carrying out the Pinal county road
program, and unless the bond money
is Immediately forthcoming the COM
mission will have to materially change
its plans and the outfits now engaged
in road building.
A few weeks ago a representative
of the bond buying house appeared
t'efore the board and made a PROPOSE
ton to the supervisors to take the
remaining bonds at a discount of
per cent This proposition the board
has rejected and is now determined
that the bond buyers shall fulfill the
original contract, which provided for
the purchase and delivery of bonds at
par with accrued interest. The action
of the board was taken after meet
ing with taxpayers of the county who
pay practically IS per cent of the total
amount of taxes, and is understood
that the larger taxpayers, including
the mining companies and the rail-
road, will uphold the efforts of the
county board to the limit to force the
bond buyers to keep to their bargain.

TIN Still and
TWO MEXICANS
IN LAWS Tolls

Two more Mexicans were captured
by Sheriff Elect Thurman and his
deputies last week, They had pro-
vide1 themselves with two Swift"
lard cans and soldered pipe so as to
make a still. They thought they had
things coming their way, but soon
found that nothing but officers were
headed in their direction. The affair
was very simply made, and had it
been of proper material would have
been splendid apparatus; but tin

Pilot OF AIR
MAIL BACK TO
VISIT FAMILY
IN RAY HOME
J. Robt. Wright, Cheyenne
Salt Lake City Flyer, Ar
rives In Time To Surprise
His Home Folks In Prep
aration For Thanksgiving

At least one family in Ray had a
real thanksgiving more to be thank
full for than the proverbial turkey,
cranberries and pumpkin pie. Mr.. ].
Robert Wright arrived home Tues
day, November %, where he is plan
ming to- spend the winter with his
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. G..
M. Smith, and Crystal of Boyd
Heights.
Mr. Wright has recently been en-
ployed by the U. S. government as
an aerial pilot, having the route be-
tween Salt Lake City and Cheyenne,
Wyo. He resigned on account of i'll
health and was expected home Wed
nesday, but came day early and sur
prised the "big preparations" for his
arrival. He enlisted in the army in
1917 and served % months in France
as a seargenr in the air forces He
returned to the United States in May,
1919, and was stationed at Mineola
Field, Long Island, N. Y, where he
assisted in the preparations for the
arrival of the English dirigible R-34
on it's transatlantic voyage from
England.
AS mechanic he prepared two
planes for the transcontinental trip
from Mineola, L. l., to San Francisco
and return. The young man con-
templated making the trip with Lieut..
French Kirby, but Kirby's observer,
who had accompanied him on mis-
siOns over the German lines during
the Argonne drive, desired to par
ticipate in thel race, so Mr. Wright
forfeited his opportunity to take part
in this history making event, which
later proved his good fortupe, as both
Lieut.. Kirby and his observer were
killed in the race.
From Long Island Mr.. Wright was
transferred to Arcadia, Fla, where he
took up a five minths' course in ad-
vanced flying on Chasse machines of
combat type, Spad 13, Nieuport type
%, rotary motors. After finishing the
course he was furloughed to the re-
serve and went to New York in the
employment of Curtis Engineering
corporation. Later he entered the
mail service as pilot, flying from
Newark, N. j., to Bellfontaine Pa.
Mr.. Wright left New Jersey and
went by train to Chicago, from there
he carried the aerial mail to Chey-
enne and took up his regular route
between Salt Lake City and the capi-
tol City, only recently giving up his
work for visit home.
The young man has not Keen in Ray
since June, 1919, when he was here
on short furlough directly following
his return from overseas.
He formerly lived in the camp be-
fore his enlistment in the army; and
has many friends here who are most
delighted to see him back.
Though the fatted calf was not
killed in honor of the prodigal son.
the gobbler was, and the joy over his
return ("Jim's", not the gobbler's)
is unadulterated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Denial that

Secretary Baker in letter to Chair
man Kahn Of the House Military Com

resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Britten, Republican, Of Illinois, Of
inefficient, unseaworthy, mutinous,
dangerous and almost murderous
operation Of transports" were unjust" /"
Referring to the case Of the trans
port America, which docked at New

bcrs OF the crew under arrest, the Sec
retary said they were charged with
certain derelictions Of duties" includ-
ing theft. Evidence against only one
Of the thirteen was sufficient to hold
him after the ship docked, he added,
the others being punished at sea.
"No evidence indicates that the acci-
dent to the Powhatan was the delib-
crate action of Bolshevism aboard that
vessel" wrote the Secretary, referring
to the recent plight Of that transport,
which finally was towed to Halifax.
