FIRES BURN ON
 FOREST LANDS
Blazes Yesterday Reported to Be Burning Beyond Thumb Butte and in the Crown King District; Believed Small

Two fires yesterday were reported to the Prescott National forest serv- ice office here, one occurring beyond Thumb Butte and the other in the Crown King district. The second fire was reported during the after noon. The first blaze, first reported about noon, was located from the lookout station on Spruce mountain, in the Copper Basin country. Its exact location was on a ridge mid way between Thumb Butte and the Copper Basin summit
 The extent of the blaze was not known up to a late hour last night, but according to H. B. Wales, for est supervisor, it could not have been large, since the three men dispatched to the scene at 2:30 yesterday after noon did not call in for help. They were J. C. McNelty, Prescott district ranger, and Thomas Ryland and F. B. Garrett, vocational students at Groom Creek station.
 The second blaze was reported from the Spruce mountain lookout, and was discovered by the 1ookout's range-finder to occupy about the same position as the big fire which last week burned over a thousand acres of manzanita ground. It was believed yesterday that the Crown King fire, said to be small ill extent, may have been a recurrence of the fire of last week

CARPENTERS RISE
 PHENOMENAL SERIES
 OF RING VICTORIES
Game Frenchman Strode Through Series of Knockouts and Decis-
 ions to European Supremacy

Carpenter quickly developed, ill physical strength and weight, as well as in boxing skill, in 1910 and 1911. Descamps kept him busy during 1910, and although he met no op- ponents of exceptional class, he learned rapidly all the time. Four knockouts, six victories, one by a foul, two draws and two defeats, adorned his record during that year. Two youths, Buck Shine and Young Snowfall were credited with victor ies over him.
 By this time, Carpenter was a full-fledged lightweight and, early ill 1911, graduated into the welter- weight division. His first important battle in this class was with Frank Loughrey, an American, in May, 1911. The contest was fought in Paris as a preliminary to the Dixie Kid-Young Tommy" Loughery con test.
 Carpenter received the decision over his first American opponent in Is rounds of torrid boxing. The exhibition of Carpentier was one of the best of his early fighting and marked only the first of long ser ies of hot battles the French athlete was to have with American boxers.

GRAZING FEES
 ARE GUT DOWN

WASHINGTON, D. C., June B. Senator Ralph H. Cameron, repub- lican, Arizona, led a delegation of Arizona livestock men to Secretary of the Interior Fall yesterday and succeeded in gaining for the delega- ton reduction in fees relating to the running of livestock on the Fort Apache and San Carlos Indian reser- vations.
 The livestock men asked that the prevalent rate of $40 per head per year for cattle be reduced to $1.20 and that the sheep rate also be re- duced. After citing his views on the matter, declaring that the livestock industry in Arizona was entitled to every aid and consideration the gov ernment could extend, Senator Cam- eron succeeded in getting the rate reduced as asked by the cattlemen.
 Applying to the Fort Apache and San Carlos reservations the reduced rates are $120 for cattle and 27 and 28 cents per head per year for sheep This reduction is the elimination of the efforts Senator Cameron has been making for relief of the Ari- zona catt1emen. In the analysis of the situation Senator Cameron point ed out to the interior department that the cattlemen of Arizona are facing drought of equal severity of 1895. The range conditions be characterized as very poor, as spring and summer feed did not materialize and no mar ket existed for the livestock.
 Any one of these conditions Sena- tor Cameron stressed to the interior department was of sufficient serious ness to warrant government aid. He also pointed out to the secretary of the interior the handicap under which the cattlemen running cattle on the reservations are working under by the system of allowing the privilege to % to. the highest bidder.
 "After successfully bidding the range in for stated time,' said the senator. "a livestock man necessarily puts in considerable improvements, such as extending the water tacili- ties, erecting drift fences, corrals, etc. This expense is borne by the cattle company and is a large outlay ot capital. On the spur of enthusiasm or deliberate policy, a new company strange to conditions on the reserva- tions may outbid the old established company, take oyer the range, and also the improvements which the first company installed without the outlay of dollar from the new com pany. This is unfair and not good business policy on the part ot the government"
 That this argument on the part Of Senator Cameron was logical and fair. was admitted by the interior de- partment and it is probable that change in the administrative policies of the Indian bureau will be under taken to protect the equity rights ot the cattlemen holding priority leases on the Indian reservations.
 The delegation in Washington con- sisted of J. V. Marley, Globe, Ariz'; l. N. Robertson, of the First Nation al bank. Globe, Ariz.; Henry Boice' Globe, Ariz.; J. V. Mcclure and w. ID. Johnson, of Kansas City and Globe, Ariz.

FOREST PATROL BY LANES BACKED UP AS TWO FIRES RAGE
(From Fridays Dally)

A great many forces will be applied ito the government to bring about the establishment here of an air patrol for the group of national forests within striking distance of this city. It was learned yesterday in connec- ton with the breaking out of two forest fires-one near Copper Basin and the other south of Crown King that the Prescott national forest SUI .pervisor, H. Basil Wales, was willing to transmit to headquarters all argu- ments favoring such a step.
 A new idea was brought into the plan yesterday with the suggestion that the Salt river project be asked to use its influence. All of the com |pact watershed supplying the Roose- welt reservoir is within patrolling dis tance of Prescott. Moreover, this watershed is afflicted with torrential rains which are seasonal and hence would be dangerous to all deforested areas. The battle would be to pre- serve the range against denuding.
 The only argument against estab- lishment of a forest fire airplane pa trol here would be that the depart ment is of the opinion that this sec ton of the country is lucky, never having suffered a great fire, and be- ing bothered comparatively lightly by small ones. However, due to the ex- treme value of the forests, it may be that the service will add its influ- ence.
 Following is a table of acreage oi forests immediately contiguous tc Prescott and coming under the pa !rol district as it was visioned by Alexander Pearson, the army flyer low engaged in surveys around the Grand Canyon:

 Tn addition, there are the Sit greaves, Dixie and Kaibab, all of which can be served from here with comparatively little expense. A two patrol station, equipped with four last airplanes, can look over dis trict comprising over half of the northern part of the state.
 Forest fire detection is shrewd game now. At present, the observa- ton tower is being used. Here and there are located observation points where watchmen are kept on duty. Two stations locating a fire, observe the compass reading on protractor and telephone the reading to a cen tral office. The readings are traced out on large maps, and where they cross, the fire will be found. Fire fighters are then dispatched to the scene and in many cases within an hour or so after a fire has been ob- served, men can be on the ground with fire fighting tools.
 The government, the state and Phoenix have each put up money to fight floods in Cave creek Accord ing to Mir. Wales, the floods there are due strictly to deforestation. Overgrazing by cattle the year around and by sheep in the winter has devastated the range, so that wa ter is unrestrained and accumulates in the wash, often seriously damaging crops in the Salt river valley and making it very unpleasant in the city of Phoenix.
 The forests of northern Arizona represent vast stored wealth, accord ing to Wales, who points out the revenue from timber cutting on the Coconino and that from grazing on the Prescott-each figure being the record for the forests of the United
 
 States. Only three states-those on the Pacific, have more forests of value, although Idaho is leader ill the percentage of its area so set aside.
 As a result of recent publicity given to the proposition ill the Jour nal Miner, it is hoped that the gov ernment can be induced by next sea- son, at least, to establish a patrol here. This would mean construction of a landing and hangars, and might assist Prescott to be on the pro- posed north and south air mail route starting at Nogales and hopping to Tucson, Phoenix, Prescott, Williams, Kanab and thence north into Utah.

'THE NUT" AT THE REX 49,.
.s.- SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

One of the most conscientious pro-
ducers in the motion picture industry
is Douglas Fairbanks, and the corner
- stone upon which his popularity
rests is inscribed with the following
motto: "Make each new picture bet
ter than the last" 49,
With this aim in mind, "The Nut"
which opens Saturday at thu Rex
theater for two day run, was ch0s-
en- as Fairbanks fifth vehicle for the
United Artists. 1t is a story designed
from an entirely new pattern. In
corporated in the synopsis are ideas
and features Of plot evolution that it
islbelieved may result in establishing
new screen technique. Few pictures
have been issued that have called for
more concentration of effort from the
star, or for more thoroughness Of de-
velopment on the part of the author.
The fact that "The Nut is an orig
inal story seems to indicate that the
most progressive producers are en-
deayoring to secure material written
especially for the lens instead Of adj
herring to the established policy CT
filming famous books and plays.
The claim has been set forth by
many cinema critics that only by pro-
ducing stories written especially for
the camera can the highest point of
success be obtained for the photoplay.
For that reason the manner in which
the public receives the new Fair
banks offer will be watched closely,
and If this picture Is accorded the
same measure of popularity that has
been the lot Of his previous produc-
lions, it may establish a new prece-
dent upon which to base this stars
future plans. g. f-.
'oThe Nut" is from the pen of Ken
meth Davenport, and the scenario was
written by William Parker and Lolita
Woods. Briefly, the story deals with
the love adventures OF an eccentric
young fellow whose hobby is inven-
tion. In fact, he invents his way to
the hercine's heart. The locale Of
the story is the famous bohemian
quarter of New Ycrk-Greenwich
Village. The outstanding feature of
this unique screen tale is the manner
In which number of amazing nov-
city contrivances have been utilized
to provoke laughable situations.
It is believed that for originality
this picture will be recognized as one
Of the years outstanding successes.
Extensive preparations are being
made for novel showing Saturday
and Sunday at the Rex theater.
