We had trouble in the past in getting
immigrants from some lands TO adopt

America only as huge money bag,

NAVAJO COUNTY WROUGHT
 UP BY THE PINCH VETO

The situation in northern Arizona is bad. The connecting link of the Ma tional Old Trails road which has car ried during the years past 60 to 70 per cent of the nations transcontinental motor traffic is eliminated from im- provement. The National Old Trails is located from Albuquerque west by way of Gallup to Holbrook. The Springeiville road is an alternate route, detour from the main road, and is not a portion of the original National Old Trails road. The fact that it is 80 miles longer and many miles away from a railroad and with long stretches of uninhabited country, marks it as a road that will not be travelled when shorter and better roads are constructed through inhabited dis tricts. And this is the situation to- day. The Lincoln Highway is inn proving all along its thousands of miles of distance. It connects with the Arrowhead Trails in Utah and that road is receiving much improve ment. When those roads are in good condition, they will obtain the greater or major portion of the transcontin- ental motor traffic. Another thing, the National Park-to-Park highway was tentatively located over the Ma tional Old Trails road from Los An geles to Gallup, thence north to Den yer. This is one of the most active and strongest of all the great road or ganizations of the country. Utah fail ed to give it heed, but when it found that it was making headway and that they were encircled but did not par ticipate in its benefits, they imme- diately got busy and went to the con- vention at Denver last fall with very strong delegation. They wanted to be "in." They had national park, the Zion Canyon country, and they want ed the National Park-to-Park highway to reach it. And so a road was tenta- lively located that that scenic point might be reached, but it was not the main highway. Salt Lake City is very much alive and she has the annual convention of the National Park-to- Park association in June. They want to be on the main line of the Nation al Park-to-Park highway. They want to join with Colorado, Wyoming, Mon tana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Cal ifoynia and Nevada in this great seen ic wonder way. What argument will the delegates from New Mexico and Arizona have before that convention to retain the present location made over the National Old Trails from Los Angeles to Gallup? With the better ment of the Lincoln highway from the east to Salt Lake City and the con- tinued improvements of the Arrow head Trails from Salt Lake City to California, the traffic which has been enjoyed by the National Old Trails road and which has meant so much to Arizona will be switched to the better road, and with National Park-to- Park highway changed to pass through Salt

PREHISTORIC PUEBLOS OF
 SOUTHERN DESERT

An archaeological triumph, it is said, has been accomplished by C. s. Sarle, professor of geology of the Univers, ity of Arizona, who has located and surveyed thirty-six sites of prehis- toric villages in the vicinity of Tue son. Through the efforts of Professor Sarle a new prehistoric culture has been brought to the notice of scien- lists, it is stated by Robert F. Glider, Sc. D., archaelogist, University of Ne braska, who has spent much time in Tucson Investigating the discoveries of Professor Sarle.
 While Arizona has long been rec ognized by archaelogists as one of the richest states in the yielding of pre- historic treasures, almost all of the prehistoric research by various insti- tutions in this state has been done north of line drawn east and west through Phoenix, which comprised chiefly explorations of cliff dwellings and adjacent pueblos, according to Professor Glider.
 The desert region, the present habi- tat of Pima and Papago Indians, had been overlooked, mainly because lit- tie of archaeological interest had been discovered there. To Professor Sarle belongs the credit for proving the southern Arizona desert, especially that section lying about Tucson, rich CT in the remains of prehistoric tribes than any other section of the entire state.

ARREST FORMER DRY" AGENT BY FOLLOWING
 TRAIL OF HIS WIFE

Traced to the vicinity of San Fran cisco through the journeyings of his wife, Roy Fridley, former prohibition enforcement agent, who absconded un- der bail after having been charged by federal authorities with violating the provisions of the national prohibition amendment, has been arrested in or near San Francisco by Hughes Carr, special investigator for the county at toiney's office.
 The arrest was made by an asso- ciate of Carr in Los Angeles, who came to Phoenix at Garr's request and took up the trail after efforts to find Fridley had been started by fed eral officers and others.
 Fridley, according to the telegram received by Carr, will be turned over to federal officers at Los Angeles and brought to Phoenix immediately. The bond in his case has not yet been for feited.
 Fridley was arrested several weeks ago. on charges of transporting intoxi- eating liquors illegally. He was ar raigned before John B. Henke. Unit ed States commissioner, and pleaded not guilty.

NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE LN THE STATE

tions of lists embracing 1990.05 acres of land selected in the Fort Grant military reservation were received.
 Notwithstanding these facts, and without any consideration to the rights of the institution, there was is- sued to Webb about two years ago several five-year leases at three cents an acre on all of this land, including the section on which the industrial school plant is located.
 When Kuchler took office as land commissioner, he found check dated December 31, 1920, for $l063.20 to cover the leases on the Fort Grant lands as well as adjoining lands leased by the Seventy-Six company.
 kuchler refused to accept that DOT tion of the money applying to the Fort Grant land, and letter was sent to Webb advising him that an applica- tion had been pending since 1917, and recently renewed by the secretary of the board of directors of state insti- tutions, for a lease of the lands for purposes in connection with the indus trial school and could not therefore, be leased to him.
 The records show that notwith- standing that it was the intention of the federal government and the state to use this land in connection with the industrial school, leases covering the same were issued to Webb on No- vember 5, 1919, and that on January 12, 1920, these leases were consoli- dated and renewed for a period of five years to Webb.
 Kuchler in refusing Webb's lease money made clear his position by cit ing section 91 of the state land code which reads as follows:
 Right defined: The state of Ari- zona shall have the right, whenever the same is necessary for its uses, or for the uses of any department of the state government, or of state institution, to take over any state lands and the improvements thereon, by reimbusing the owners of the im- provements therefor, and the depart ment or institution so using the said lands shall lease the same and shall pay such rental as the commissioner shall fix"
 Upon receipt of this letter quoting the law Webb called at the office of the land commissioner, and after some statement to the effect he considered that he was within his rights in leas- ing the institutional land, signed a written statement relinquishing all rights to the lease of these lands.
 By this action the state has been saved the trouble of filing suit in the courts to protect it's right. this action having been planned if the cattle com pany should show any desire to fight the issues.
