these conditions by a commission to be named by him;
 "2. That grazing fees and moneys now being charged for grazing on that section of the Prescott national forest as herein described be re- mitted;
 "3. For such other relief as may be deemed proper.
 Tt is further resolved that the secretary of this association be in- structed to spread this resolution upon the minutes of this meeting and convey copies of the same to ! the secretary of agriculture and to the Arizona representatives in con gress."
 Last nights meeting of the as sociation, which convened for 1927 in the rooms of the chamber of commerce, was an energetic one, marked by the strong determination of its members to make their or ganization one of the livest and best in the state, Yavapai being the larg est cattle growing county in Ari- zona. For the past two or three years the association has been rather slackly attended and has not sue ceeded in arousing a great deal of interest among its members. But this situation was frankly confront ed last night, and when the question of either disbanding or going ahead with all energetic program was pre- sented, the organization without all exception was for going ahead. | Following the discussion of the damage to the Verde valley range, the election of officers and an ex- ecutive committee for 1921 was taken up, and the officers for 1921 unanimously reelected. They are H. T. Knight of Camp Verde, presi- dent; J. Van Dickson of Skull Val ley, vice-president; NJ. B. Hazeltine, Prescott, treasurer and C. E. Gentry, Prescott, secretary. The 1920 mem bers of the executive committee members were all reelected save one, Charles Hooker voluntarily withdrawing in favor of the election at his own suggestion of Robert Perkins, of Verde valley.
 As elected the committee reads: Bob Perkins, L. L. Bate, R. N. Looney, C. P. Mullen, Ray Hill. Meeting after the adjournment of the session, the executive commit tee appointed the following advisory board: T. c. Walters, Walnut i Creek; J. T. Ralston, Camp Verde; Ben Stewart, Mayer; T. w. King. Chino valley; J. Van Dickson, Skull valley.
 The balance of the association meeting was devoted to routine busi- ness.

necessary to cross the canyon and blast down another sentinel of rock in order to provide a water course that will not endanger the embank- ment of the highway.
 In this operation something like S150G0 was saved the state, this rep resenting the difference i'll cost be- tween putting in the tunnel as orig inally planned and the cost Of blast ing away the mountain side.
 At another point tunneling was saved ill part by blasting away the underside of the cliffs, in such way as to provide an excavation for the highway open on one side or q halt moon tunnel as it is called.
 Between the Superior road camp and the town of Superior splendid reinforced concrete bridge has been constructed, and this is now prac- tically completed with very little re- maining to be done toward finishing jhe highway between these two points.
 Below Superior the worl, on the contract through Gonzales pass was iilSJNNLNA- 1 liio Lo e siNN MI -AA'tN N'AA'Nf which forms an important link i'll the Superior -Florance highway.
 The importance of the Superior Miami road was more readily under stood by the northern senators, when it was pointed out 10 them that when completed it would connect one ot the largest mining districts of the state with the largest agricultural district, making connections with both the Salt River and the Casa Grande valleys.
 All of the prisoners have been re- moved from the Superior camp to the prison and only paid labor is now being employed. Fifty-three men are employed at the lower camp and g at the upper camp Owing to shortage of funds the upper camp has been ordered closed down for the present, but this will not inter fere with the work or getting the line opened as soon as possible.

CHA SENATORS ARE
 FIRST OVER NEW ROAD
(From Sundays Daily) |.

PHOENIX, Jan. S-To State Sen ators Claypool and Barry of Gila county belong the honor of having made the first automobile trip over the new Superior-Miami highway. They arrived here last night. both apparently highly pleased with the progress which has been made on the most ambitious undertaking of the state highway department dur ing the last two years.
 The through trip was made pos siblc by the 1act that the big tunnel on the new line has been completed. Only 2,G09 feet of heavy construc- ton remains to bc done to make the new Highway passible 10 traffic, though several thousand dollars will have to be expended to put the road lin firSt-Class condition.
 Senators Claypool and Barry were met at the Superior road camp by Senator Larson of Coconino county and Senator Curtin of Mohave coun- ty, accompanied by Tom Maddock, state engineer. The object Of their visit was to gain lirst-hand informa- ton concerning the project and the progress which has been made. At the completion of their inspection both expressed themselves as pleased, especially in view Of the exception ally rough and precipitous country traverscd.
 The Gila senators were driven from Miami over the partially i'm proved route to Bones camp, on Queen creek, known as the upper camp, where the heavy construction starts, and to a point about one mile below where construction IS now Ill progress. From this point they travelled afoot over trail to a point which marks the upper end of the .construction from the lower or Su- perior road camp. The highway de pertinent is now centering its efforts lin bridging this gap, in order that the new line may be opened to traf- fic at the earliest possible date.
 The opening up of the tunnel will mean much toward furthering con struction, for heretofore it has been necessary to pass men and supplies over ladder surmounting a huge cliff.
 Originally three tunnels were plan ned. Two of these have been elim- mated by the judicious yet generous use Of T. N. T.
 Blast Mountain Away
 Instead of boring holes through thc mountain spurs to let the high way through the highway engineers have found that it is much cheaper to blast the mountains away, with the result that blocks of stone as big as buildings now lie on the floor of the canyon a hundred feet or more below the grade, and the high way winds around the cliffs in the open.
 Seven thousand pounds of ex- plosive were used in one blast, in removing one of the colossal crags which blocked the progress of the road, and so complete was the de- molition at this one point that it is

STAR ROUTE SERVICE MAY
 BE PUT ON MAYER LINE
(From Saturdays Daily)


 That there is an opportunity to se- cure alternate daily mail service by star route to the towns along the Crown King line is forecast in a telegram received yesterday by Post master Andrew J. Herndon from Chief Clerk Moore of the western division of the railway mail service at Los Angeles, instructing him to make inquiries as to costs.
 Since the abandonment of daily train service on the line, there have been many protests from residents of that district because they received mail only three days week. MT. Herndon, in an attempt to fill the gap, took up the matter with the postal authorities and in reply, was told to:
 Ascertain and wire lowest ob- tainable rate star route service be tween Prescott and Mayer, via Dewey and Humboldt Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, carrying first and second class only. Secure at least two informal proposals be- lcre replying"
 MT. Herndon now wants to know whether or not he can secure bids from stage lines to handle this mai route on the days specified, in order tlat the matter of securing daily mail service for the towns mentioned cannot be quickly cleared up.

BADGERS WIN FIRST CLASH
 WITH CLARKDALE QUINTET
CFrom Saturdays Dailv)

Inter-school basketball between Prescott and other high school teams started off with bang last night when the Badgers walked away from the Clarkdale five to the tune Of g to l9, in an exciting and well attended dribbling contest at the high school gym. Though the Shelter lads put up a determined fight, the local students had every thing their way from the start, main taining to 1 break on the basket through both halves of the game.
 Playing guard, Thompson, the little old Lefty who used to tear up the line before the gridiron was de nied to Prescott, shot over more goals than any man on either team, and equaled the goal shooting Of all the other Badgers combined. He wasn't the only. man on the team, however, for Poe, Bradley and Southworth got to the basket quite effectively. in which laudable enter prise they were ably seconded by the excellent team work of their mates. In fact, Prescott played like a single man for most of the game. 1t remains to be seen what they will do on a court not their own. If their present record is any indica- ton, they are likely to prove among the closest contestants for the north ern Arizona dribbling title.
 On the Clarkdale lineup, Tim Cheek starred in rather hay firm ament. Used to an outdoor court his spectacular long shots to the basket were frequently effective. The Shelter dribblers, however, punched too much, and didn't rely enough on passing, much of their goal-shooting being done from the center of the court. Prescott, as in its victory over the Biles-Lockhart quintet, made its goals by punching on the basket. At that, however, Clarkdale showed its mettle in the dogged per sistence with which it clung to the game to the last whistle Harold 1 audaman put over the rest of the Clarkdale scores.
 At the end of the first half, thc score stood g to II, with Prescott leading by more than double the Shelter score. The second half wit messed repetition of this scoring, the Badgers putting over 14 points to Clarkdale's S. The game was fast and closely contested, clean playing jbcing one Of is features.
 { Following the Badgers victory, the students turned the gym into a re- Iccption room and entertained the Shelter quintet and the Clarkdale lads and lassies who had come over to witness the contest. Refreshments were served, and the High school orchestra furnished dreamy or pep ful music for a big dance in honor Of the visitors.
 Coach Napier said last night that the Badgers are out for the title. They will meet with opposition, but they have a quintet that is hard to beat. However, the future will tell ! the tale. The lineups:
