when he got sober. of course, and
the remorse will abide with him
every minute for the remainder of

He may be brought to trial and

punishment for the crime which he

crime: and the ends of justice will

The laboratory was established in 1910, and during the war increased its forces by about 100 per cent. It is conducted by members of the uni versity faculty.
 Investigations along industrial lines are carried on, assisting in the de- velopnent of substitutes for present uses of timber. Through preservative treatments. uses for poorer grades Of timber are being made possible. Tim Der beam tests are now being con

guard us from fire, 1t has been re-
 quested by the president that the 10th
 day Of October be set apart for this purpose. It has been aptly suggested
 that there be told ill each of our
 schools on the day named, the fiftieth
 anniversary of the disastrous Chicago
 fire, the story of that destructive con
 flsgration brought about through mans carelessness.
 Now, therefore, I, Thomas E.
 Campbell, governor of the state of Arizona, do hereby designate Mon day, October 10, 1921, as Fire Pre- vention day, and I urge every citizen to take an active part in all measures looking toward the prevention of fires. It IS requested that the day be observed by clearing up and abat- ing any accumulations of inflammable material and abolishing of fire haz- ards wherever same may be, found. Let the day become one of rigid in- vestigation of. all premises with a view to preventing the inception of conflagrations. In this worthy move ment our churches can be of great assistance in spreading ethe doctrine of carelessness from the pulpit and through the Sunday school. The pro- motion in our schools of systematic instruction in fire prevention should be given special attention on this day i'll order that there may come about at frequent intervals a recurrence of public realization to the ever-present peril. of fire and the means whereby this calamitous destruction of life and may be averted.

GRAZING LANDS
 CAN BE MINED
tFrom Fridays Daily)

When can a prospector prospect and when can't he, and where?
 This question is being asked by numbers of Yavapai miners and pros pectorS in relation to forest service ranges under fence by the services grazing permittees. What the miners want to know, is whether they have a right to prospect and locate mining claims on such fenced ranges.
 The question was answered yester- day by Assistant Forest Supervisor Robert Munro, who stated emphati- cally; "They have"
 The permittee right, Munro ex- plained, has simply to do with graz ing and pasturage and is not con cerned with the location or develop ment of mining claims. He said:
 There is no regulation whatever that interferes with prospecting on the forest ranges. Prospecting and mining, in fact, are encouraged by the forest service. The mining laws applying within the forest are exact ly the same as those applying on the public domain" ,4
 Certain rights of grazing permit tees, however, must be observed by miners prospecting on fenced ranges. Fences must not be destroyed. Forest service regulations demand the con- struction of gates on trails and roads, and when these are lacking, their con- struction will be promptly seen to. Grazing permittees also have certain water rights on the ranges.

Local Hunters Walk to Senator District From Town and Bring In First Venison; 250-Pound Buck Ragged in. Early Hours

H. H. Keays and George Davies claim the honor of having bagged the first deer of the season in Yavapai county. Strange to. say, neither Keays nor Davis had four or six cylinder, their entire equipment for transportation being their two cylin- ders. Leaving their residence on Marina street on the afternoon of September 30th, Keays and Davies hiked through the drizzling. rain and mud to the Senator country. Early Saturday morning, four bucks were sighted with the result that these hunters brought their. one buck weighing about 250 pounds, to Pres colt, easily hours ahead of other hunters.

BOB CONNELL HEADS (. (. COMMITTEE FOR
 FIRE PREVENTION
Observance of National Day Will Be Under Chamber of Commerce;
 Governors Proclamation
From Sundays Daily

Observance of national fire pre-
 vention day in Prescott will be under special committee of the chamber of commerce, of which Fire Chief Robert Cornell, IT,, has been named chairman.
 October 10 has been officially pro- nounced Fire Prevention day by Gov ernor Thomas E. Campbell, following receipt of a proclamation by Presi- dent Harding, setting aside that day for the observance of instructive and educational exercises on fire preven- tion and requesting state governors to designate that day as Fire Preven- tion day in their states. Governor CampbelPs proclamation follows:
 That America cannot afford to dal- ly with the fire fiend or to relax her vigilence, becomes increasingly ap- parent as the long list of ruinous corflagrationS, frequently attended by loss of life, continues seemingly un- checked.
 Despite the fact that we are con- stantly being urged to exercise pre- cautions for the prevention of fires and the costly experiences which we continue to undergo, a great deal still remains to be accomplished be- fore we shall have attained the goal desired, namely that of doing away with all preventable fires. When we reflect upon the fact that approxi- mately l5,000 persons, most of them women and children, are burned to death in the United States each year, a much larger number are. seriously injured, and property. amounting to billions of dollars destroyed, z it brings forcibly to mind the necessity for constant and never-flagging eff fcrt to hold in check this monster of destruction.
 Obviously every day should be ob- served as fire prevention day, but in order that a special effort may be made to impress upon the public mind the urgent necessity of observ- ing all proper precautions to safe
