ARIZONA INDIANS ID CALL ON PRESIDENT
 WILSON

Apache Indians are going to inter view the Big White Chief in Washington. The fact Mas pertin- ently demonstrated to the satisfac- tion of the editor of the Holbrook Tribune Sunday evening when five prominent Indians arrived in town and put up at one of the principal hotels. They were real Western Indians, dressed mostly as the paleface robes, but still carrying with them their regular woolen blankets. They were accompanied by Charles L. Davis, superintendent of the Apache Indian Reservation, which is situated few miles south of Holbrook in the White Mountains.
 Among the number was Chief AL tesay, grizzly and wrinkled, who claims to be over 80 years of age He is the big Indian chief of the tribe which in former years caused Uncle Sam so much worry by their depredations on the whites. These murders and raids by the Indians were in most cases due to the in roads of what we term civilization The white man continued to drive the red man back and away from his hunting grounds into sections less favorable for cultivation and hunting and fishing, and the Indian retaliated.
 Baha, son of Chief Altesay, was also one of the number.
 Wallace Altaha, known as RIA on the reservation, who is a large hand some young Indian, is one of the delegates He is stated to be the richest Apache o1 the reservation, his outfit of stock, etc, said by one of the representatives of the govern ment to be worth from $250,000 to $300,000. During the recent French English-German war Altaha purchas- ed from the United States Govern ment Liberty Bonds to the amount of $35, 900.
 Chief John Talay, of the Cibecue Indians, a sort of a detachment from the Apache, though small in num- bers, was one of the party. The Gibec1es are said to be quite crafty and have always been able to care for themselves, under almost any circumstances.
 Jack Reyes, another Indian went along to represent the East Fork Apaches.
 Hoke Smith, an educated Indian, who is employed by the government as clerk at the agency, went with the party as interpreter.
 The trip which is chaperoned by Superintendent Davis, will consume three or four weeks. As far as can be learned, the Indians want to in. terview President Wilson ini order to ascertain what has become of the money that the government has re- ceived from the rental of grazing pri- vileges and the sale of lumber. The aborigines evidently believe they ought to get more of it, and are go ing to visit the Big White Chief at Washington to find out what the reason is that they don't see more of the coin.

STATE MUSTPROv|DE FUNDS TO MATCH
 FEDERAL AID ].

Phoenix, Feb. IT am sure that the next congress will provide at least $100,000, 900 for federal aid for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, 90 that you are safe in making plans for the next two years accordingly" was the word contained in a letter from Congressman Carl Hayden to Thomas Maddock, state engineer, in reference to the Sells bill, winch the Arizona congressman believes will pass on the next suspension day, February IT.
 If the situation is as Congressman Hayden believes, there will be $2,S00,- 900 additional federal aid available for Arizona in the next two years.
 The American Association of State Highway Officials have endorsed the Sells bill, and w. c. Markham, it's leg islative representative, is asking the heads of the highway department in the different states to secure the en- dorsement of their state legislatures for the measure. MT. Maddock is in receipt Of a copy of the letter, which he will bring to the attention of the legislature at an early date. It fol lows in part:
 You may have seen by the dis. patches that the road committee ot the house this morning recommended by unanimous vote, an appropriation of $100, 100000 for one year beginning July 2, 1921. It also carries S3,000,00C for one year for national forest roads and trails. This appropriation is good for two years after the close of the fiscal year for which it will be avail able
 'This bill also carries with it the authorization to the secretary of agri culture to grant di%erent ratio oi federal aid in the states where the patenteds tax exempt and national | forest lands are more than ten pel cent of the total area of all lands ir the state.
 Tt is suggested to me by a senator who. has charge of appropriations that in all states where it is necessary fo1 the legislature, by law, to appropriate funds to match the appropriation from the federal government, you should have this attended to at once as the bill may not pass congress until the [ last hours on March A. Your legis lature would know how much to ap propriate since you know what you, l idIAO ID Ihio yea, Sio WO dlS ISCOlNluS | $10O,000,00O.
 | Please bear in mind that if the bil passes the house it still has to TUT the gauntlet in the senate. I am there | fore urging that you continue you work in securing endorsements iron the people at home" You may no l feel that concurrent resolution b! your legislature is necessary to infiu |
 your state, but there are now 40 stat
 legislatures in session and if larg,
 majority of them pass a resolution o i that kind the solidarity of the reques
 will certainly have a psychological l effect upon the senate.

GRANT COUNTY IS AT WORK ON MULE CREEK
 ROAD

Work upon the Mule Creek road, which has been in progress for the past three months under William Harris, county superintendent of roads, is nearing completion and adds an additional link to the east and west road across the county, destined to eventually become a scenic portion of a popular transcontinental route
 Supt. Harris was not supplied with sufficient funds to build a highway into Mule Creek but he has expended the amount available upon the worst stretches of the road and when his work is done the resluents Of the Mule Creek section will have a very good road with a maximum of five per cent grade.
 Three bridges over twenty feet in length have been built and three large culverts besides a number of smaller ones and all the steepest and toughest parts of the road eliminat- ed
 From Mule Creek postoffice to the Arizona line there is stretch of five miles which offers no particular ob- stacles to road building so that now there is fairly passable road almost connecting with the road that will be built westward from Clifton. During the past week thera was a delegation from Clifton in the Mule Creek dis trict looking over the new road and from the enthusiasm which prevails in Clifton there can be little doubt about the early construction of that section of the road. This will give the Clifton people short outlet tc the east, put them on. transcontinen tai route and make available to then the products of the Mule Creek dis trict.
 The people of Grant county vii profit by the building of this stretch of road in Arizona since it will vir tually complete an east and west roaG 1 leading from the Elephant Butte dan i on the east to the Roosevelt dam or the west creating the damdest section of any transcontinental route and one that will surely be popular with ( large proportion of the tourist public as eliminating many miles of sandy | desert travel from the Rio Grande west.

bers which delighted the music lovers in the audience.
 The Floradora SeXtette was pro- bably the prettiest number, for could anything have been sweeter than the three maids with their floppy hats and shepherd crooks and the ador- ing glances bestowed upon them by their partners, must have caused jealou spangs in the hearts of at least one or two young men. The two numbers by Verone Ferguson were very good and cleverly danced.
 Mrs Burtch and MT. Romanes gave What color eyes do you love best" in a very charming manner and surely deserved the several en- cores they received. But when ''Si Perkins, came on with his nine sweeties 70 Boy" is right, we all sat up and took notice. He said he was nervous, but we didn't notice it, for it kept us all busy watching those sweeties 'vamp" the boys in the first row.
 The finale chorus, ''Old Fashioned Garden of Roses" closed one of the best performances, ever given in Cliff ton.

BIG ORPHEUN BILL

Did you say tPep?"-Did you say Jazz?
 Well you got it all at the Auditori- um Monday eve, for the show went off with a bang! from start to finish.
 Much credit is due to the Di- rector, Mrs. Burtch, who thru her un- tiring efforts, has proved to the public that vaudeville, which is the most difficult for an amateur, can be sue cessfully put over by the young peo- pie of Clifton.
 Even the program was a neat little affair and attracted every ones inter- est until the curtain went up for the opening chorus. The entire cast ap- peared in this so we had a chance to '1ook'em over."
 The second number, the Evolution of the Dance, was an attractive number, and as the lovely lady and her partner, in their Satins and laCes, so graceflly danced the stately minuet. it caused us to wonder if it were pos s.ble that people danced like that iE olden days. The Waltz number fol lowing, was an exhibition of grace and rythm. The Tango bro't us down to modern times, and altho the name it. Sell udS uduSuIy SOuuQ, tne lnIrl- cate steps danced with such perfect boise. called forth round of applouse which showed it was appreciated. The Apache Dance and dancers took down the house, "Nuff said'' The song and dance by Irene Nixon was fine and proved this was no troupe of amateurs.
 The violin solo by little Miss Jami son was splendid. and makes one wonder what she will be doing few years hence.
 Miss Peggy" and her Travellers made a hit all right, even to her two year old admirer. who greeted heI appearance with Hello Peg"
 MT. Eschwegge in his Monologue gave some pretty good hits, but the young swains from the mess, deserv ed more than they received

Feb. Sth, 1921.
 To the Honorable Board of Super visors, in and for the County of Green lee
 Gentlemen:-
 In view of the fact that my atten- ton has been drawn to a communi- cation directed to your Honorable Board, by Hon. Claude Hoker, Coun- ty Attorney, in which communications he calls your attention to the fact that a portiSn of the Court Report CTS salary of this county has beea charged to his office and to which fact he seems to take exception; I deem it advisable to call your atten- tion to the following:-
 On the 20th day of September, 1919, pursuant to an understanding between myself, as Judge of the Superior Court of this County, and Mr D. w. Ling, then County Attorney, in order that the expense of both these bran ches of the County Government might be materially reduced, the following agreement was entered into:- MT. c. w. Heumann, Court Report CT, agreed with myself and said Coun- ty Attorney, to do all the sttnogra- Dhic work for both departments for the salary of $175.00 per month, which he was then receiving as Court Reporter, and which agreement was ratified by the Board of Supervisors of this County; $10O.0O per month of ! this amount was charged to cover Court Expenses and the balance of | $75.00 per month charged as expense of the County Attorneys office. T am of the opinion an examination l by your Honorable Body into the operating expense of the County At | torneys office prior to the date of the afore mentioned agreement will | fully justify such an arrangement, | regardless of any personal feeling in 1 the matter.
 The present Court Reporter is at all times ready and willing to fully | perform this agreement on his part and can be called upon at any and all times to perform such stenographic
 work for the County Attorney as he may require in the conduct Of the business of his office regardless of | what department such expense is | charged up to.
 Yours very respectfully, FRANK B. LANE, Judge, Super l for Court.

TAX DEMAND FORCES MINING CO. INTO HANDS IF
 RECEIVER

Jerome, Feb. 1-When the Conso- lidated Arizonz Smeltingi Company was thrown into the hands of re- ceiver, something over a month ago, it was generally supposed that the sluggish copper market was respon- sible. Now it develops that the blame rests upon the income tax de partment. of the United States Gov ernment. The amazing spectacle is presented of a going concern, in the best financial condition of it's his tory, shut down and in a receivers hands because of the arbitrary rul- ing of bureau clerk.
 Late in 1920 clerk was sent to Humboldt to look into claim which the Consolidated Arizona Company had made for a rebate on the income tax it had paid for 1919. In the course Of his investigations this clerk learned that when the present company bought in the smelter and other property of the old bankrupt concern, at sheriff's sale, the price paid was $191,O00.
 Thereupon the clerk announced that $191, ,000. was the invested capi- tai of the Consolidated Arizona Smelt- ing Company and that it must pay in come tax, surtaX and so on, based upon that figure.
 In vain it was pointed out to him that the $191 GOO was merely the first investment of the company, that over a half million dollars had been paid for mining claims and that oth. CT purchases had raised the invested capital up around $1,000,000. By some mysterious process of his own he arrived at the conclusion that the subsequent investments were not a1- lowable
 When the clerk got through figur- ing he announced that the Conso1i dated Arizona company owed the United States government some $662,000
 As soon as the companies from which the Consolidated Arizona peo- \ pie had been buying their supplies learned of this, they demanded cash for everything they furnished. IIi this they were quite justified, for an income tax claim takes precedence over all other indebtedness Under the circumstances it was impossible to continue operations i; suspension and the appointment of a receiver naturally followed. At the time Of the shutdown the company was making splendid prog ress. It had paid of 70 per cent of it's bonds and had improved the Hum. 1 boldt plant until it was the most modern and efficient of it's size in the
 southwest Directors of the concern had every right to expect that with the revival of the demand for copper l the Consolidated Arizona would go ] on a regular dividend basis. I Attorneys for the company are talk ing the matter up with the revenue i department and hope to secure 6 ! reversal of the ruling which started l all the trouble.

COUNTY OF GREENLEE STATE
 OF ARIZONA

Clifton, Ariz., February End, 1921.
 To the Board of Supervisors, in and for the County of Greenlee.
 GENTLEMEN:
 I wish to call your attention to the provisions of Chap.a 22, Revised Statutes of Arizona 1913, especially to Sections 629, and 626 thereof, and to Chapter 162, Section E, of the Acts of the Fourth Legislature of Arizona, re- lative to the employment of Court Reporters, and Stenographers for the various County Officers, and the pay ment of their salary.
 I understand that large portion of this salary has been heretofore charged as expense to the office of the county Attorney. This should not be, unless the County Attorney ap- points said Court Stenographer, as the Stenographer for the County Att torney, and for such work may receive compensation to be charged as ex- pense against said office, otherwise this salary should be charged to the Salary fund, The County Attorneys office has not yet employed or design ated any one for the position, as Stenographer, and until this is done no part of the Court Reporters salary should be charged to this of flee.
 I am very truly
