REPORTS SHOWS
MUCH SNOW

Telegraphic and mail reports to the
Weather Bureau for the past week
indicate that large part of the stock
ranges of the district has been cover
ed by snowfall ranging from scatter
ed patches to a maximum depth of
eleven inches in the vicinity of Crown
King in Yavapai county. The week
was not considered sentirely favorable
for livestock inasmuch as it opened
With comparatively low temperatures.
but slight warming up and an in
crease in sunshine made it more toler-
able. Saturday a storm of local orig
in began as rain over the southern
valleys and as it increased in it's
strength became over the higher alti-
tudes a snowstorm of formidable char
acter. Fortunately the disturbance
was of short duration. The condi-
ton of livestock continues generally
good in the principal range sections
their healthy, well-fed condition en-
abling them to Withstand the incle-
ment weather. Young lambs in the
desert sections were not so fortunate
as the cold rain caused considerable
suffering but practically no losses. No
losses of cattle are anticipated unless
it be. of stragglers left in the high
attitudes.
Crop Progress in Arizona
Some cotton picking continues al
though the season may be considered
as practically over. Truck in the
valleys is doing we'll especially beets,
carrots, turnips, spinach and lettuce,

development of the last two carload

pected to go out this week, both of
excellent quality.

CALL FOR BIDS ON
BRIDGE At SAN
CARLOS
State Highway Department Acts In
dependently of Indian Department
Bridge to Be Combination of
Wood and Steel

Phoenix, Ariz.. Jan. 1O.-The state
highway department has issued call
for bids for the construction of a
bridge across the Gila river near San
Carlos.
A bridge was constructed across
the Gila river at this point about
seven years ago, but Immediately
after its completion the river cut a
new channel around the south end
of the bridge, leaving the bridge high
and dry with about 500 feet of river
between the south bank and the end
of the bridge.
Repeated efforts have been made
by the boards of supervisors of Gila
and Graham counties and the state
highway department to have the In
dian department extend this bridge
to the present bank, and at one time
congress made an appropriation of
$4,000 for this work, but the Indian
department did not see fit to proceed
with this work and the appropriation
was allowed to lapse. An appropria-
ton was made by the legislature in
1919 to complete this bridge. Since
this time the state highway depart
men has been endeavoring to secure,
federal aid on this project or to Sc
cure a special appropriation through
the Indian Department. However,
no success has accompanied these
efforts, and the highway department
considers this crossing of sufficient
importance to proceed at once with
out waiting for federal assistance.
The plans for the bridge call fol
a combination wood and steel struc
ture, the compression members be
ing made of wood and the tension
members of steel. This type of con
struction is much cheaper than an al
steel structure and if properly main
tanned will last as long as needed
There has been a great deal OF un
certainty as to the plans of the fed
eral government regarding the con
struction of the San Carlos dam. L
this dam is constructed to heigh
of 200 feet the present bridge slit
would be submerged, but no definite
information is available regardins
what is likely to be done regarding
The San Carlos project, and it is ther'
fore considered inadvisable to wait OF
that account, but to put in temper
ary extension as strong as the presen
structure, even if not up to the usua
state standard of construction.
The roads approaching this bridg
will not be expensive and very l1ttl
loss would result if the location IS I
be abandoned later on account OF tn
San Carlos reservoir.
The bridge is so designed that
can be easily dismantled and move
to another location as a very sma
cost.
This bridge is one of the state higf
way which enters the state at Franz
lin Arizona, and goes thence to Gil
ton, Stafford, Globe, Miami and Super
ior to Phoenix and thence to Yuma
With the completion of this bridg
and the road from Superior to M1am
a vast amount of traffic will pass owe
this entire highway.

GEORGE h. COSPER
PASSES TO HIS
REWARD
The Deceased Was An Old Resident
OF The Duncan Valley And Widely
And Favorably Known Trough
out This Section; Buried At "a
Duncan.

George H. Cosper, a wellknown,
highly respected and honored citizen
of the Duncan country, died at the
A. C. Hospital about 2:3O a. M, JAN
uary Is, 1920, following an illness ex-
tending over few weeks, which how
ever was the recurrence of trouble
incident to his advancing years. He
had been brought to the hospital
sometime previously in the hope that
the hand of death might be stayed or
delayed but the life forces steadily
ebbed away and he passed at length
into the presence of his Maker.
In his long life-he was in his 10th
year at the time of his death-Uncle
George, as he was familiarly and af-
fectionately called by many, had had
a wide experience. He was native
of Alabama and in the fratricidal strife
ner of the Confederacy having as his
chieftain and leader that supremely
| great and noble American, Robert
E. Lee. He participated in some of
| the best known battles of that mighty
! struggle, notably those of the Wilder
ness and Pickett's famous and fateful
charge at Gettysburg. And, when. at
last, the curtain dropped on this orgy
of blood and suffering at Appomattox
Court House he was close at hand. He
then returned to the peaceful pursuits
of life in his native state and in 1879,
with his parents and other members
of the family, he turned his face to-
ward the setting sun. finally locating
in Bosque County, Texas. Here he
remained, until after successive cror
continued, ending in the Duncan val
ley in 1885. The following year he
bought the place miles up the rivel
from Duncan on which he resided tt
the time of his death.

This condition reported from New

"The fact that the supply of women
for office work in New York exceeds

facing a shortage, is not peculiar.
MEN As well as women perfer the
white collar jobs through snobbish-

"They would rather work at the
desk at starvation wages and re-

social plains than go into industry
where wages are considerably better.
"The woman in the skilled trades
is receiving high pay. but while at
