POLLUTED CREEK FUR
 SPITE EIS CHARGE MADE

Depositing dead animals in Kanab creek, the sole water supply of Fredo- mia, by citizens of Kane, Utah, has de- veloped such a serious sitution in northern Arizona that Attorney Gen eral Wiley E. Jones yesterday appealed to Attorney General Shields of Utah to take action in the matter.
 It is alleged that the people of Kane, incensed through the operation of a law passed by the last session of the Arizona legislature requiring a grazing fee on livestock untaxed in this state and grazing on grasses in Arizona, pol luted the waters used for irrigation and domestic purposes in Fredonia.
 The Utah stockmen opposed the law, the validity of which was attacked by Utah lawyers. After Judge Bollinger upheld the act by which fees were collected by the sheriff of the county in which the livestock grazed. trouble began. An appeal was made to Att torney General Jones, who has re- quested the attorney general of Utah to take the matter up with the county attorney of Kane county.

TO BUY GASOLINE COSTSPHOENIX S7.50O EACH DAY
Bill of Phoenicians to Keep Their Motor Cars Going Amounts to Considerably Over $2,7OO,OOO Yearly

How much does it cost Phoenix to keep its thousands of motor cars in operation. merely to keep them SUD- piled with fuel?
 The price Phoenix pays for its oaso- line would, if paid to any one nerso,, make the income of an oil well owner look feeble by comparison. Each year Phoenix spends for gasoline for her motor cars sum equivalent to se1 for every person in the citv. aIIovrir7e, . population of 3O,OOO
 mat Is the question somebody thought or yesterday, and that is the answer which might have been given but wasn't, for nobody knew the fig ures then. But the question and un- known answer were the basis far a little informal investigatfne ,pbict brought to light some interesting facts about Phoenix and her motor cars.
 The normal daily consumption of gasoline in the city of Phoenix aver 'tses zo,ooO gallons, an oil company of Ilcial estimated Twenty-five thou sand gallons of gasoline a day, Tn month the consumption of gasoline nere runs to 75O,000 gallons And at the same rate Phoenix uses 12OOO 900 gallons Of gas" a year. a total truly staggering for an unsuspecting person.
 Expensive? Yesl
 Gasoline now is selling at 90 cents gallon At that price motor car owners of Phoenix are paying out s4,5O0 a day for gasoline. Tn other words, with gasoline 30 cents a gallon Enoenlx spends $225,000 month for the fuel to keep the autos going. If gasoline sold at 30 cents a gallon every day In the year, this city during that year would spend $2.70O,o0o for it's supply.
 sive?
 Such were some of the figures a little rambling in the realms of mathematics. with the estimated consumption of gasoline as basis, brought into be- ing. Another fact the investigation brought to light is that there are no less than 94 places in Phoenix where motorists buy their gasoline, including filling stations and garages and ac- cessory houses that sell gas.
 About 1000 Cars Tn City
 But the little probe yesterday fell down when it came to finding out how many motor car owners or drivers buy gasoline here each day. That was go- ing a little too far for actual figures Just offhand, but it is a safe bet that half of the cars in Phoenix visit the filling station every day or so-and there are somewhere. around 2 0On autos in Phoenix, figuring on the sta tistics which place II. 900 and more in the county
 That a huge number of cars take on gas here each day was shown from the estimate of one filling station man that 40 cars stop at that particular filling station each day. The station in ques- ton, however. is one of the best patronized in the city, and sells from TOO to 800 gallons a day, and around 1900 gallons on Saturday.
 All of which shows you never can tell what you can find out until YOU begin to skirmish around

FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE
ON BEAVER PARK

An attractive little frame house on
the Heppie tract on Beaver Park. two
miles east Of Penrose. was destroyed
by fire early Thursday morning. As
far as can ascertained there was no
insurance on the property.
The house. which was the pride OF
the neighborhood on account Of It's
neat appearance. was unoccupied al
the time. but 1t contained the furni-
ture and personal belongings of the
Rev. Heppie and family, who make
frequent visit to Beaver Park to look
after their interets there.
The house was discovered in ruins
nv a neighbor Thursday morning. and
the fact that the track OF a motorcycle
could be traced in the snow leading
from the place creates the suspicion
that the fire might have been OF in
cendiary origin. but the motive that
prompted its destruction is n mystery.

say something about Querida and the
ore bodies being uncovered there.
when Mr. Putney learned that the
Lost Chance" mine that the former
wanted was in Custer county instead
of at Cripple Creek. as he had sup
posed.
Mr.. Putney. of course, had no claim
on the Querida Lost Chance proper
ty, and his interest in the McNulty
proposition dropped from the top of
the scale to the zero point with a
dull. sickening thud." Mr. Putney
also ascertained, as McNulty pursued
the subject further. that he was not
the man his interviewer had supposed
him TO be. but that McNulty had II
terrogated him under the belief thai
he was Mr.. Putnam of Ilse, Custer
county. who. with his brother, had To-
Gated the Querida Lost Chance" lode
a number of years ago. In short. the
whole matter turned out to be sort
of comedy of errors" mixed with a
confusion in names, localities, etc.
that was at once strange and remark
able To Mr. Putney the affair seemed
to be almost tragical in its termina-
ton
Not wholly discouraged by the pass
ing of his dream of sudden riches, Mr..
Putney still hopes that the whiligig of
time will produce another transition
from depair to hopefulness and that
the Lost Chance" at Cripple Creek
will in the course of the coming year
become a no less prodigal pro
ducer of 1.-The dollars of our dad

Querida.

and in which she was awarded second
honors.
The state spelling contest was held
in the chamber of the House of Rep
resentatives in Denver, and was open
to all pupils in the public schools of
Colorado. Thirty. eight out of the SO
counties of the state sent delegates to
compete for first place. Miss Morgan.
made a remarkable record in the con-
test, and her friends are proud of her
achievements, both in the county and
state contests.
The contest was a written one, and
100 words, prepared by a committee
of prominent educators, We're submit
ted as test of the spelling skill of
those who were to take part in it,
Five of the competitors got all of the
words correctly, Miss Morgan being
one of them 1t then became neces.
sary to present 100 additional words,
of more difficult photography to de
termine the victor among the selec-
tive quintet, and Miss Morgan won
second place with a grade of 81 per
cent
First honors went to a Salida girl,
who made 9S per cent, and was de-
clared TO be the winner of the compe-
tition. She was presented with S25
in gold and. in addition. was given a
S35 kodak by James r. Nolan, secre-
tary of state. as a souvenir of her vic
tory. Miss Morgan was given a SO
gold piece as second prize in recogni-
ton of her near triumph.
All of the 3S contestants were en-
honor at the Argonaut hotel by the
State superintendent Association,
and were complimentary guests of the
same organization at a theater party.
The five winners in the first contest
were given an automobile ride about
the city in Gov. Shoup's car. The
courtesies and hospitalities extended
to the contests by the state officials
was delightful in the extreme, and
was something they will never forget

gan is not only highly creditable to
herself, but reflects honor on the com
munity she represented

Modern Comedy
OF Errors

j. H. Putney. circulation manager
of The Daily Record. was almost with
in grasp OF oodles of money on Thurs
day of this week, or rather, thought
he was, when Jdmes McNulty, a sue
cessful Cripple Creek miner. walked
up to his desk and. after Introducing
himself. bluntly offered him a certified
check for $4,000 for the privilege of
taking over for one year his inter
ests in the Last Chance" mine. of
which Mr.. Putney is a one-third owner
In addition Mr.. Putney was offered
33h per cent of all the revenue de-
rived from the operations of the prop
erty under the 12 months lease.
Mr.. Putney was a bit staggered by
the proposition although lie outward
~ maintained a fair degree of COM
Posure. He demurred to the sugges-
tion that an agreement in relation to
the matter be entered into. as well as
to the acceptance Of the check, until
he had conferred with an attorney on
the subject Finding Mr.. Putney OBJ
durate it was finally stipulated that
Mr.. McNulty should return at O'Clock
the following evening for further ne
2otiations concerning the deal. In the
meantime Mr.. Putney cogitated on
wealth beyond the dreams OF
avarice." II is to Mr. Putney's credit
in view of the fact that it was April
l, when the. proposition was submit
ted to him. that he kept the matter to
himself and only permitted it TO leak
out a day or two later when the vision
had vanished For a few hours, at
least, Mr. Putney had every reason to
believe that Fortunatus had picked
him as a favorite and was about to he
stow upon him smiles such he never
gave to Coal Oil Johnny" or Barney

When McNulty came back to see
Mr Putney in the evening he reiter-
ated his offer for lease on the Last
Chance" in fact intimated that he

sraiion to secure II, IL the transaction
could be closed promptly. Mr.. Put

posed deal were exhaustively dis
cussed. until McNulty happened TO
