FORMER SERVICE
 MEN EMPLOYED
(From saturday's Dailyl

In a letter from State Engineer Tom Maddock to Governor Camp bell, made public yesterday by the Ernest A. Love post of the American Legion, to whom a copy was sent it was learned that, in compliance with instructions rom the governor ex-service men be given preference in employment on state highway work, the highway department has given employment to a high per Ecentage of former soldiers, sailors and marines.
 On seventeen projects built or building by the department, eX-serv- ice men were given preference of employment In northern Arizona F. N. Grant, head of the survey party on location of highways in Yavapai, Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties, is an ex-service service man, as are six of the nine LlGll uHuSl IlII. L. n. WO OllC, III charge of construction work in northern Arizona outside Mohavc county, and Charles O'Connor and Floyd Allen, foremen on the Jerome Prescott highway, are also ex-serv- ice men.
 Practically every truck driver now employed, or employed during the last year by the department, saw service with the army motor trans port corps. The task of placing ex- service men on highway department work was simplified by placing such men at the head of various branches of the work, their tendency being to secrue ex-service men to work under them.

MINER ASKING S20,000 FROM
 THE EXTENSION
Louis Mendiez Alleges He Fell While Carrying Heavy Tim Der Over Uneven Surface of Tunnel in U. V. Extension
CFrom Saturdays .Daily)

Labeled 'an action i'll tort" but
 seeking compensation for an alleged personal injury, a suit was filed in
 superior court yesterday by Louis
 Mendicz, naming the United Verde
 Extension Mining company as de- fcndant. Mcndicz requests payment of $20000 for hurts he says were incurred while in the service of the mine corporation.
 The complaint states that the proXimate cause of the injury was a fall the plaintiff sustained while car rying heavy timber over an uneven floor of tunnel. His work, Men diez says, was loading and carrying heavy timbcrs with which the com Ipany was snoring or bracing the walls of tunnel, off the Daisy shaft He stumbled, he declares, by reason .of the uneven character of the foot ing and in falling, was wrenched by tAN NNlShI OI lllS Dul uCl. ne IC- suit was hernia and allied disabilities which caused intense mental and physical pain and weakness which precludes his ever indu1ging in man ual labor
 Before the accident the plaintiff was able to earn from $15O to $20O a month, according to the complaint, and now he is unable to continue in that employment. He continued working for a time after the injury but the pain was such he was obliged to undertake a surgical operation. This operation, the complaint says, was done by a company surgeon and resulted in scvering of certain nerves and bloodvcsscls, causing weakening and atrophy of tissues, pressure of scar tissue on nerves and resulting nervous disorders. He spent F days in the hospital, the plaintiff declares.

Public dances at the Odd Fellows hall hereafter will be conducted by the lodge, according to plans alluded to ill letter to w. w.

Pickerill was informed yestcr- day by Financial Secretary Fred Moore that the lodge desired to get away from the renting of the hail. which is the largest of its kind in the city.

SNAG STRUCK BY
 SHEEP MEASURE
Cattle Interests to Oppose Sen ate Bill No. 5 in House; Be- lieved Joker May Be Con- cealed in Sheep Moving Clause
Nrom Sundays DaiIyn

PHOENIX, Feb. 1o.-An echo of the half-century-long contention be- tween the sheep and cattle interests was heard in the senate yesterday when substitute senate bill 5 came up for final consideration. Senator Curtin, from Mohave county, took exception to the wording of the bill. claiming that it would open up the
 ranges of the entire state to the shcepmen.
 Curtin moved to amend the meas ure but his motion was lost and the bill in its original form was passed by a small margin. The cattlemcn are now preparing to fight the meas ure to the bitter end when it comes up in the house, unless the wording can be changed to suit them.
 This bill represents the efforts of gct-togcthcr movement which was instituted in a joint convention of cattle and sheep men held at Flag staff last July, and the measure was carefully gone over by attorneys for both sides at recent conference held in Phoenix and declared to be satisfactory to both sides.
 As passed by the senate the bill provides for certain established trails for sheep travelling from summer to winter ranges. It further provides that when 1t is necessary to move sheep across a cattle range to shipping point or to lambing grounds they shall travel at least three miles a day. Curtin contcnded that there was nothing in the bill to prevent sheep being moved across d cattle range from one sheep range 10 au- other and moved to insert this fca~ turc in the bill as under the three milc-a-day rule. Otherwise, he said, thc sheepmen could move their herds as slowly as they wished when pass ing from one sheep range to another. And this being the case there was nothing to prevent their having a small ranch in northern Arizona and another small ranch in southern Arizona, and keep the sheep slowly moving between the two all the year around across cattle ranges.

Williamson Valley Farms Com pany Recommended to Com merce Chamber by Agriculture Committee Chairman
From Fridays Daily)

NHlOll Y lueN . OdllNy
 That Yavapai county has new reclamation project of merit, backed by local men and deserving of the support of the chamber of com merce, was the declaration of L. L. Bates, former superintendent of the experimental farm for the govern ment near here and now head of the agriculture committee of the cham Der at the meeting of that body last night.
 The chairman was reporting on farm conditions and had recommend ed in a motion that the chamber try to secure a mail route via the Amer ican ranch and Prescott farms to Del Rio and thence back to the city through the experiment farm.
 The chamber of commerce was instrumental in putting through the Prescott farms project, Mir. Bates said, and that was promoted by out siders. He declared here was a new project he had looked over and from his experience in such matters, he felt he could recommend it most highly. No better project had come to his, attention; there were larger ones like the Roosevelt, but no better.
 He named the proposition, which is entitled the Williamson Valley Farms company" and is being pre- pared by Arthur w. Davis, city councilman and father of the pro- grcssive measures ill Prescott, such as paving and water extension. Davis, who has heretofore been identified with mining promotions and has brought a great deal of cap ital into the county, has now turned his attention to a new enterprise and is backing farming to win by six lengths.
 Inquiry revealed the fact that the new project will embrace some 22,- 900 acres lying in the lower end of Williamson valley and in Chino val ley. The center of the project is approximately 5 miles north of Prescott. A watershed of 331 square miles will provide ample run-off beth from flood and normal flow for the irrigation of a large acreage. Land under the proposed dam will lie on both sides of Williamson valley wash, is level, very little troubled with brush and capable of being cropped with trifling expense once it is watered. Corn and alfalfa are to be the major crops. The elcva- ton is about l,5O0 feet lower than that of Prescott, d fact which, ex- perts agree, will enable growers to get four or five crops of alfalfa a year.
 Land included ill the project is patented and is held under option by Davis, who has entire charge of the affairs at this time All preliminar- ies are concluded for the launching of a syndicate to improve the tract with dam and canal system. This company, which is ill process of completing its corporate organiza- ton, will own the dam and water rights and distribute the water, ac- cording to present plans.
 Chairman Bates told the chamber of commerce last night that he in tended to call meeting of the agri- culture committee next Thursday and discuss a number of matters prior to the regular meeting.
 Dr. Yount noticed MT. Davis in the hall and called on him to ex- plain the proposed reclamation pro ject further, but Davis said he would wait until next meeting night as "the corn and alfalfa arc not growing vet
