 TO CUT THEIR WAGES

PRESCOTT-A compilation of fig ures, covering the cost of 21 necessi- ties of life, submitted at meeting of the carpenters union at Prescott, was declared by union officials to be the basis of calculation upon which it was proposed to offer a voluntary reduction of wages to stimulate the building in dustry.
 The present scale of SS for eight hours work. At last nights meeting the pre-war scale of S4.50 was com pared with the pre-war cost of the av- craze days consumption of 2l con- modities amounting to S2,92S.
 On this basis officials declared, a wage reduction of approximately 40 cents a day would be made.
 Costs will be studied further during the week and at meeting set for Jan uary IF and the union is understood to intend to make a definite offer to contractors.
 Demand was made by the president of the union, C. F. Rogers, that if car penters offer to "do their part other factors in the building industry, net ably contractors and supply dealers, be asked to contribute in like manner.

KUCHLER MAKES NEW
 STATE LAND RULING

That no action will be taken on any application dealing with state lands until at least 30 days after the filing of an application was announced yes terday as the policy of the state land department by Rudolph Kuchler, land commissioner.
 MT. Kuchler made an order to this effect which will serve to prevent aLy undue advantage in the matter of leasing and purchasing state lands" It is believed that 30 days will give sufficient time for all applicants to file their applications.
 The order, which will be given wide publicity by Mir. Kuchler, follows:
 "Please be advised that all applica- tions for lease, renewal of lease. se- lection of state lands, when in form, or upon forms as heretofore adopted by the department, and requests for action regarding the sale of state lands will be received and filed, but no action thereon will be taken by the commissioner for at least 30 days af- ter such filing, except such action as may be deemed necessary towards on investigation of any such application or request.
 Applications or requests for action, regarding matters above referred to, which are not made upon forms fur nished by the department or in form similar thereto, and in accordance with the requirements of such forms, will not be received for filing, nor for ac- tion by the department"

JOHNSON AND KOCH
 OPEN TUCSON OFFICE

The attractive outlook in construc- ton lines in southern Arizona and northern Mexico is responsible for the announcement by Johnson and Koch, wholesale lumber dealers, that they intend to open an office in Tucson about the 25th of this month. Office quarters have been leased for the pur- pose of organizing an active campaign in the southern territory. Koch will act as manager for the new office and the southern territory, while MT. Johnson, the senior member of the firm, will handle the northern part of the state, through the Phoenix office which has been established for more than a year.
 This concern is representative for the Arizona Lumber and Timber com pany, of Flagstaff. John A. Johnson was formerly assistant general man. ager of the A. l.. & T. and R. I. Koch was purchasing agent for the same concern.
 In addition to its Flagstaff connec- tions the firm recently contracted with some of the largest mills in Oregon to handle their products in Arizona The concern handles all classes of lum- Der for railroad and mining construc- tion as well as all classes of material used in ordinary construction.

EVEN "HASSAYAMPER"
 LIKES TO READ THE SUN

Phoenix, Arizona,
 P. O. Box POS.
 January 5th, 1921. Editor, Coconino Sun,
 Flagstaff, Arizona Dear Sir:
 More often than not you succeed in getting out an issue that makes mighty interesting reading to one whose risibleness is still in state of activity. An old Hassayampa friend of mine who has sowed some editorial wild oats of his own, who is somewhat of connoiseur along them lines" still persists in borrowing my copy each week. Me reads it from cover to cover and says that he even likes the COW brands. But then you know what a Hassayampian's word is worth. Any way what I "stuttered" out to say is that if you need these depreciated three dollars more than I, keep them. If not, return them and send sample copies of The Sun to me for year.
 Very truly yours,
 BERT HASKETT.

MEXICAN BANDITS KILL
 2, WOUND 1 AT TEMPE

Austo Hintze, II years old, was kill ed, Milton Spangler was fatally wounded, and H. c. Baber was serious ly wounded by two Mexican bandits who entered the Baber-Jones grocery store at Tempe at 6:30 o'clock Tues day evening. The bandits first shot Baber twice, then wounded Spangler, who was a night watchman and, fin ally, firing at crowd gathering in front of the store, killing Augusto Hintze. Baber and Spangler were brought to hospital at Phoenix. Spangler died in less than two hours after his arrival.
 According to reports received at Phoenix, Baber was alone in the store and was in the office at the rear. He was counting the days cash receipts.
 Baber saw the men standing at counter as though intending to make a purchase and went forward to wait on them. As he reached them, one of the Mexicans fired, wounding Baber through the shoulder. He turned and ran toward the office and as he reach ed the office door, he was shot a sec ond time, the bullet penetrating his back above the heart.
 Spangler, who was passing and heard the shots, ran into the store and the Mexicans turned and fired at him. Spangler was shot in the stom- ach.

PLENTY OF WATER
 FOR CANYON LAKE
Continued from page 1.)

but nothing was done at that time. There seems to be no question about the amount of water available for keeping the lake full. With the waste from the present reservoirs, the ease with which the Schulz Canyon waters may be diverted and thef possibility of also diverting the River de Flag into Switzer Canyon, to the great benefit of those parts of town that the river now makes almost swamp during cer- tain periods of the years, there should be water enough for lake twice as big as there is room for in Switzer Canyon.
 The city has plenty of money with which to do the work. Doing it this coming spring and summer will give us early assurance against lack of water for any and all purposes and undoubtedly will give an impetus to our growth that we can get in no other way.

CANS

We have new supervisors now That will each law enforce, And if they find there's one they
 need,
 They'll make it quick, of course. There's something we would like
 to know,
 Is there law to read: Dump all your cans upon one
 spot?
 If not, that law we need. There's cans out south and cans
 out west,
 More cans l never saw. It does not look to tourists eyes, As if you had a law. There's cans around your grave
 yard,
 And cans in every hole. There's can on every level spot, More cans on every knoll. I'd like to sit upon a knoll And dream of all my plans, Without my eyes a growing dull, By looking at tin cans. It cannot be that pride is dull, Let's talk as man to man. Can we not find some special
 dump
 For every opened can? Then let's put every can in place, And give to all that strays, To dump their cans another spot, Five dollars or five days.

WOMEN ARE GROWING
 MUCH TALLER AND HEAVIER

PHILADELPHIA. Women are growing taller and heavier, according to Dr. R. Tait Mckenzie, director of physical education at the University of Pennsylvania. Statistics of wo- mems colleges, covering sixty years show the average college girl of today is an inch taller than the college girls of 1860, he said. "These statistics also prove the modern girl is six or seven pounds heavier"
 Dr. Mckenzie attributed this in crease in stature and weight to the increased interest in sports and out door life.
