Pompeii has always been one of the mysteries of the old world. At one time a powerful and highly civ ilized colony of the Roman Empire, the City of Pompeii was entirely for gotten between the years of 472 and 174S.
 Altho the first complete destruction of Pompeii by Mt. Vesuvius occurred in the year 79, attempts were made to rebuild on the same site up to the eruption of 472. In 174S a peasant, in sinking a well, discovered the fres- coed walls and statued recesses of what was once fine residence in the old city of Pompeii. The King of Naples then ordered an excavation and an investigation of the City.
 Little can be discovered of the City's early history, altho it's founding is at tributed to the Oscans, name derived from a Greek word meaning store house., indicating commercial spirit.

In the year 55, Nero, as Emperor of Rome, conquered the City, allowing her however, freedom of government by her own class. The style of public buildings indicates altered tastes fol- lowing her transferred allegiance; the early building being Greek and the later Roman.
 The effects of earthquake and vol canic eruption are also shown in the style of architecture, the buildings being usually low/and very heavily constructed. It is generally consid- cred that Pompeii was city of thirty to fifty thousand inhabitants. It cov- cred an area of about 160 acres. Two thirds of the City, within the lines of it's walls. has been uncovered up to the present time. It is conceded by all travellers that this is one of the most interesting sights in the world, combining the charm and mystery of a forgotten civilization with a tremendous volcanic pheno- menon.

 The commission has just returned from visiting the northern tier of counties and announced that increases would be made in assessments on property in Winslow and Holbrook and on ranges in Apache and Coco nino counties while the Apache rail- road and the great new sawmill at Cooley would add materially to the valuations in Apache county.

FINE CONDITION OF RANGES IS CATTLE MOVEMENT FROM WEST

The fine condition of the Arizona rauges, due to the plentiful rainfall Of the winter snd spring, have start ed a movement of cattle from all points of the west where the rain fall has been scarce and drought is feared.
 Three thousand head are being brought in from the Sacramento Val ley, California, twenty one thousand head is coming in a few days from Mexico, in one purchase, although not because of draught in this case and cattlemen throughout California are here looking for range.

FIRST MILES OF
BIC IMPORTANCE
Greatest Care in Handling Of Car
Called for Until Parts Have
Worn In Somewhat.
ENGINE DEMANDS attention
Make Thorough Study Of instruction
Book and Familiarize Yourself
With Every Grease Cup
Drive InteIIigently.

The dealer has just left your new
car at the door, and you invite the
family to go for a short ride. Doesn't
the engine sound powerful and quiet?
Your tests all are met satisfactorily,
and you realize that it means sun.
flowers andSred blood and that it will
pay its cost In health for you and
yours. But-are you interested in
your cars health? Do you Intend to
keep 1t fit from the start? OF course
you do.
After the first trip take wrench
and go over every nut and bolt on the
car to make certain that all are tight.
The engine parts should get especial
attention, for defect here will result
in mistring and poor carburetion.
Make your inspections frequently for
the first 1000 miles, until the car will
have worn in somewhat. Then you
can relax your vigilance bit.
Study Instruction Book.
Make a thorough study of the In
struction book. Look at the lubrica-
tiOn chart and familiariZe yourself
with the location of every grease cup
and oil hole. Then see that all are
kept filled properly. This will insure
against worn parts or scored bearings
and, incidentally, allow you to learn
the fabrication system thoroughly.
When an automobile is built the en-
gine has been run but little. and the
parts are fitted tight to make them
snug after the stiffness has worn Off.
The car will not show much speed un-
til these parts wear in. So don't ex-
ceed % miles an hour until your
speedometer registers 1000 miles. By
so doing each part will find itself"
and you will be perfectly safe In ex-
ceeding 30 miles an hour If you force
a car before 1t has obtained the 1000
miles 1t will result in noisy engine
and premature repairs.
Drain Off the oil every 800 miles
and replace it with fresh. You will be
surprised at the quantity of grit and
dirt that comes from the crank case.
The bearings and pistons throw off
small particles of metal which, unless
you remove them with thesold oil, will
work into the bearings and cause
trouble. Perhaps your engine will
show tendency to overheat when
new. Don't let this worry you, for Its
merely the friction caused In wearing
off the rough surfaces of the engine.
Drive !ntelligently and just give her
plenty of oil and water, and soon the
trouble will disappear.
Remove Looseness.
Every now and then the new car
should be lacked up, the wheels shaken
and the looseness removed. AS the
bearings become accustomed to their
work the need for adjustment will go
away.
Be careful of your gasoline adjust
ment on the dash. Do not leave 1t
'rich" any longer than is necessary
for this results in nm extra amount Of
gasoline getting into the engine. which
will of course, thin the oil.
The aody cleaning should be done
very carefully for the first month or
so. Use simple flow Of water with
out spray or force. If you don't the
finish will be marred. The longer you
drive without unnecessary cleaning,
the harder the varnish will become.

Is too much trouble to attach the

compression of each cylinder Is
not kept up to standard there Is
bound to be more or less of a
