SHERIFF FOUND
 SPRAYED LAMBS
Good Thing for Two Young Wo- men Guests That John E. Shearer Was Placed in That District by County Officials
From Friday,a Dailvl

It was a good thng for two young women guests of Castle Hot Springs hotel that Sheriff Davis and the board of supervisors recently decided to put John E. Shearer in that dis trict to look after the sheep problem. For, while caring for matters of straying sheep and cattle, the deputy sheriff was able to rescue two strayed lambs.
 The two young ladies, according to a report sent in by Manager E. A. Watson of the hotel, started out on a hike into the mountains They tramped to a spot about II miles rom the hotel where they had lunch. They were delayed i'll starting their return walk, and darkness overlook them. They wandered off the trail, and as anyone knows who has visit ed the country around the Springs, they pretty soon didn't know whether they were coming or gong.
 The non-return of the young women exercised the management of the hotel to the point of sending out Ia number of men to search. Deputy Sheriff Shearer happened to be at the hotel, and he struck out on his own account. Late in the evening, the officer saw a fire across a valley and started for it The fire went out, however, and he continued his search by the use of noise instead of firelight and soon located the wanderers. They had fired a dry cactus for warmth and were prepared 10 make the best of it for the night. Shearer mounted them on his horse and they were soon safe at the hotel, unharmed but full Of their exper- fence.

Report of City Manager John H. Robinson at Annual Meeting of Chamber Commerce Shows Progress of Work
Fronl Friuay's Daily)

VT A'hA 1T ! lNAN ADtt-ANJ
 The following report submitted by John H. Robinson at the annual meeting of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce is of particu- lar local interest:
 Dr. C. E. Yount, President Yavapai
 County Chamber of Commerce,
 Prescott, Ariz.
 Dear Sir:
 As chairman of the municipal play grounds committee, I beg leave to report that your committee met some time ago, and took up the matter of selecting and purchasing suitable grounds for the children.
 At that time, ways and means were taken to secure an option and raise the necessary funds for the purchase of grounds.
 We secured an option on block IS, Whipplc Heights, for the sum of $6O0O, this amount to run over a term ot about two years.
 In the last city budget the mayor and council made provision for mu- nicipal play-grounds to the extent of $1,O0O for the year 1921.
 Since that time have spoken to several of the committee and on ac- count of the financial conditions, thought best to let the matter rest for a short time, and after the holi- days we will again assist ill the matter.
 I really think that the spot or block referred to is an ideal one for a starter for the play-grounds, and also think that at a later date we should also try and provide one in west Prescott.
 Respectfully submitted,
 J. H. ROBINSON,
 Chairman Municipal Fairgrounds.

standpoint of local pride, that the citizens of Arizona shall not be dere- lict in their attendance. We hope that every chamber of commerce, civic and business organizations and every community in the state will send representation. We should be on hand in large numbers to indi- cate to the examiner the interest we have and to give such testimony as may be deemed essential to disclose the great injury which would result from the proposed rates.
 At the initial hearing in Chicago, representatives of cities and business interests were present from Maine to California, from Seattle to Florida and from Canada to the gulf. We should show that we are equally alive to protect our interests in Ari- zona.
 The progress and prosperity in our state are involved i'll this proceeding and I trust that you will give us every possible aid in support of our efforts to prevent discrimination in the matter of feright rates.

WHY ARIZONA NEEDS
 SECOND I. 5. JUDGE
 RELATED BY HAYDEN

Conditions in Arizona demanding the appointment of an additional federal judge are convincingly set forth in the speech of Congressman Carl Hayden in the house of repre- sentatives December 10, just prior to the passage of the bill authorizing the appointment of 2 additional judges in the United States. Pres ence of large numbers of Indians, wards of the government; trial of cases arising from infractions of na- tional forest service regulations, the necessity of travelling long distances between federal districts, and various other causes of congestion of federal district court calendars, are clearly explained. In Congressman Hay den's remarks, which were in part as follows, a high tribute is paid to the unflagging devotion, judicial ability and long service of Federal Judge Wm. H. Sawtelle. He said:
 Great Distances
 Tt is difficult for members from the eastern states to realize the dis tances that must be travelled between the places where sessions of the fed eral court are required by law to be held twice each year i'll Arizona. From Prescott to Phoenix IS 137 miles and from Phoenix to Tucson is 122 miles. In each case the judge must travel farther than from Wash ington to Philadelphia From Tue son to Globe is 238 miles, which is the same railroad mileage as from Washington to New York city. The total distance from Globe to Pres colt by rail is 497 miles, which is fatrther than from Washington to Co,u:-.l,i Us, Ohio, or to Columbia, 5. C., or to Boston, Mass.
 Corporation Clearing House
 "There is another explanation for the congested condition of the fed eral court calendar in Arizona, which arises from the fact that prior to statehood, under the territorial laws. companies could be incor- porated more promptly and at less expense than anywhere else. Thou sands of such corporations were or ganized to do business in other states and when they get into difficulties elsewhere suits are brought against them in the Arizona federal court. A recent case of this character was the Coca-Co1a Co. V. the Koke Co.,, which took months of the courts time before a decision was rendered.

SOLDIER DIVORCE RIGHT HINGES ON
 STATE RESIDENCE

Soldiers stationed in Arizona do not automatically acquire the right to sue for divorce.
 This is the effect of an opinion handed down by the office of At torney General w. ]. Galbraith in order to settle a question raised by the military authorities on the border. The crux of the matter is the ''resi- dence" of the soldier.
 It will be recalled that during the war and its training period soldiers of this and other states were per mitted to exercise certain functions of citizens regardless of the change ill residence. Enlistment or draft in to the army was not regarded as de stroying the mans citizenship in his home state. From this point and with the aid of the statutes defining citizenship, etc, the attorney, general makes his way to the decision that suits for divorce cannot be maintain ed in Arizona courts unless the sol dicr has taken some definite step such as acquisition of property, to show he has changed his official resi- dencc to Arizona

 The matter of legal residence is also followed Up in an opinion cover ing the qualification of an appojntce to the job of police judge of the town of Wins1ow On inquiry of l George C. Crcswell of that place. the attorney general made search of the statutes that brings to light a thorough definition of the citizen or elcctor.

"A further cause for litigation is the transfer of cases from the state courts to the federal court owing to the fact that practically all of our large copper mining companies are foreign corporations. The employers liability and workmen's compensation law of Arizona defines mining as an extra-hazardous occupation and IS unique in that a workman has three different remedies that he may pur- sue in case of injury. Arizona pro duces more copper than any other state in the union, and large numbers of miners are employed, with the natural consequences that transfer red suits of this character, many of which are stubborn1y contested, oc- cupy much Of the time of the federal judge.
 Tribute to Sawtelle
 Having demonstrated the excep- tional nature and character of the cases that he must decide, it is proper that I should speak of the ability and industry of the judge. The present incumbent was appoint ed nine years ago in the prime of life. Under his oath he has con scientiously administered justice to the rich and poor without fear or favor He has held two terms oi court in four places in the state each year, and has worked day and night until his health IS beginning to break under the strain of attempting to dis ipose of the ever-increasing business of his court He has had no real vacation since his appointment, be- cause he has felt 1t proper to assist the federal judges in California each summer in return for the many oc- casions on which he has called up- on them to come to Arizona to as- sist him. He holds court from in the morning to 5 o'clock in the after noon during jury trials and from 10 to and o'clock for law cases, yet, despite his every effort, and with the assistance of other judges, the situa- ton grows worse each year. The appointment of an additional judge is the only possible way of relief"
