DISEASE MAY KILL
 LOCO WEED, BELIEF
CFrom Friaay,s Dailvl


 Experiments to determine whether an unnamed plant disease attacking loco weed can be spread by artificial means and thus used as weapon against this "scourge of the northern Arizona cattle ranges, are being con ducted by Prof. J. c. Brown, in charge of plant disease investigation at the University of Arizona, says the Verde Copper News.
 Samples of diseased ,locp weed found on ranges of the Northern Arizona Land company, which con trols 1,500,000 acres in Apache coun- ty, were sent to Prof. Brown by H. w. Furlong, head of the company, who suggested that the disease might be spread and thus be used to kill off the weed.
 The land controlled by the North ern Arizona Land company is used mainly for grazing. The loco weed is one of the chief problems the company has to meet, and Furlong hopes state university investigation may prove it can be combated by the disease. The chief point to be de termined is whether the disease can be spread among loco weed without other plants.

ROAD DAMAGE
 GETS REPAIRED
CFrom Fridays Daily)


 Road damage occasioned by recent storms is being repaired as rapidly as possible, it was announced yester- day at the office of the board of su- pervisors, who reported that eight crews have been placed at work in different parts of the county, drag Iging the roads and removing ruts and holes which, in many cases, cold weather had frozen.
 Crews are at work on the Copper Basin and, the Senator roads, on the Walker road, and on the Prescott Jerome hill. Two teams are engaged in repairing roads below Mayer and rear Canon. Another crew is put ting roads in the vicinity of Prescott into shape.
 Rain waters, though still running rather high in the creeks, have some what subsided, and promise normal crossings in the immediate future un- less swollen by further storms.
 Mail and freight and passenger traffic between Prescott and Jerome was held up for a short time, but teams at the Granite creek crossing enabled the road between the two cities to be kept open. Stage runs on the Prescott-Jerome highway was resumed Wednesday, while passen- gers were enabled to cross by means of teams kept at the crossing. Travel between here and the Verde valley went partly over the Santa Fe. whose schedules were not much held up by the storms.
 The crossing at Lynx creek is be- coming more passible, though on Wednesday, it took eight passengers and the Mayer stage driver to pull the stage through the crossing. Re ports brought by travellers across Williamson valley say the road there is badly begged.
 Snowfall clogged traffic over the higher routes in several places, but has now been removed and the roads opened. This is true of the Copper Basin hill and the Senator road. The snowfall on Mingus mountain was not as deep as had been thought here, Shepherd Hiscox, state road camp superintendent, reported yester- day. The snow there did not impede travel and was quickly removed.

JUST \ REAL
 GOOD CAR; TIE
 DURANT'S HERE
First Example of Craftsmanship of Cliff Durant Is Unloaded by Milligan & Weaver Auto Supply for Local Trade
cF'rom Thursdays Daily,

They are here-the new Durant cars which are the present sensation in the automobile world
 A carload of them arrived yester- day and late in the afternoon, one of the cars was on exhibition at the salesroom of Milligan & Weaver, who are the distributing agents for northern Arizona.
 ! In Tuesdays Journal Miner, a ipage advertisement appeared an nouncing that Milligan & Weaver would handle the new wonder car and as result, several hundred per sons have visited the salesroom for i. the purpose of inspecting it. Those who arrived after the car was placed lon display were unanimous in it's praise. It is not only classy in ap- rpearance, having beautiful lines with the body in Brewster green with drum-head lights and the rolled steel lenders that are found on the Pack ard, but 1t has many features that are not possessed by any automobile.
 The accessibility to all parts of the engine without the necessity of get ting underneath the car is one salient feature which reduces to a minimum the time required in making repairs or adjustments. It has something entirely new in brake which is a marvel as regards the ease and rapid ity with which it can be handled. The method by which the hood is fastened is also an improvement over the usual contrivance. Another ex- elusive feature is the tubular steel backbone which gives rigidity and prevents warping of the body or squeaking of its parts.
 The motor has the Alemite lubri- cation system which is only found in higher priced cars and the leather used in the top and upholstery is genuine throughout. These are only few of the features that were point ed out to the Journal-Miner repre- sentative last evening. Incidentally, Walter Milligan remarked, The Du- rant is baby that can step 6 miles an hour. It made that test in Cali fornia repeatedly with a stock car I consider the Durant the equal of any $l,60O car on the market and yet we can sell it here in Prescott for $1,O75."

RIGHT OF NAY
 LAW DEFINED
 FUR COUNTIES
(From Thursdays Daily,

Cooperation IS made a voluntary part of the duties of the boards ot supervisors, but there is no imposi. ton of tasks in the state laws gov erning highways and rights of way according to a recent opinion of the attorney generals office.
 The office was asked whether or not 1t was the requirement of the law that boards of supervisors must fur nish" rights of way for state high ways. After a discussion of the laws the opinion holds that although it IS desirable for the counties and state to work together, it is not obliga- tory that rights of way should be furnished.
 Another recent opinion holds that If services or supplies are furnished by school trustee to the board and the transaction was devoid of fraud and done in good faith, there is no prohibition against the payment for the same. The judgment of the board of trustees is depended upon to large extent, and the opinion concludes by saying there is some question as to whether or not the school trustee comes within the ex- press terms of the statute. How ever, the principle of the law is ap- plicable as a rule of conduct to be observed by trustees"
 Volunteer fire departments are en- titled to receive financial aid from the state according to another opin- ion, handed down to a query sent in by the Stafford fire department. The laws quoted in the opinion show that cities of 5000 population or over are entitled to receive so per cent of all moneys collected from fire in surance companies and that this money is to be devoted by the city to fire prevention and control. The money obtained by the state from fire insurance companies is derived from a per cent tax on all prem iums collected within the particular city or town.
 Part of the funds thus collected and turned over to the cities may be used to care for firemen or their de- pendent sin case of deprivation of powers by reason of duty.

 In 1886 she was made mother su- perior. title which she held for P years, when for six years she was  assistant mother, and then again for two years mother superior. In 1894 she went to Prescott, where the or der owned a small cottage, and soon after she arrived she began the con struction of Mercy hospital there.

 Before entering the congregation of the Sisters of Mercy, Mother Mary Paul was a teacher. During her life as religious she was distinguished for her charity, especially to the poor sick. Her chief characteristics were her warm heart for the unfortunate, her deep sympathy with the suffer ing and her unusual executive ability. As a mother superior she won and kept the love and confidence of all those under her direction, and was, above all, an exemplar of the perfect religious life. ,-- .t. tSA-AE

YARNELL AND BLACK
 CANYON ROUTES ARE
 DISCUSSED AT MEET
CFrom Fridays Dallyl

NN lOHl W AOdllSJ
 The Black Canyon and Yarnell routes again locked horns, so to speak, over the question of which route should be designated as the main north-south highway between Prescott and Phoenix to receive fed eral aid, at the first 1922 meeting of the chamber of commerce. A mo- ton that the chamber reassert and approve a previous recommendation that the Black Canyon route be des- ignated the federal aid highway, made in the course of a lively dis cussion of the matter, was with drawn in favor of q motion to defer action until such time as R. E. Tally, chairman of the roads committee, and Joseph Mccarthy, county engineer, could be present.
 Discussion of the merits of the two routes was set in motion by a query from c. M. Colvocoresses, receiver for the Humboldt smelter, who want ed to know whether the chamber still held to its recommendation for the Black Canyon road. The motion to reSssert and approve that recommen- dation came from Judge D. E. Parks, to secure information" for NIT. Colvoeoresses, who in making his inquiry voiced his belief that if the chamber had adopted a report recommending the proposed Yarnell route, it would create a contradic- tory situation" The report had been made by the highway commission to MT. Tally as chairman of the roads committee and incorporated by him ill his annual report to the chamber
 F. s. Viele suggested that such re- affirmation be not made until R. E. Tally could be present. President Harry Heap, presiding at the first under the new administra- ton, mentioned that the motion was in order, and could be voted down or carried.
 The matter, Mir. Hazeltine rose to remark, "is ill the hands of the high- way commission" and should be cared for mot by any rule of thumb

MILLION AND ONE QUARTER GALLONS
 OF GAS 4 MONTH
Gournal-Miner Capital Bureau,

PHOENIX, Jan. 7. - Records oi the gasoline tax of one cent per gal lon collected by the secretary of state indicate that Arizonans consume an average of 1,244,679 gallons per month, or about 4l ,489 gallons every day, and as officials of oil companies estimate that 90 per cent of this amount is consumed by automobiles, or 37,340 gallons, and as there are about the same number of cars, in cluding trucks and visiting cars, in the state, it would appear that the daily consumption of gasoline by automobiles in the state averages but one gallon per auto. Which would indicate that Arizona owners of auto mobiles are not given to joy-riding,, at least.
 The total tax collected from this source since June 9, 1921, when the law became operative (not including the December tax) amounts to $74,- 680.76.

Weber this morning will go to property to start up the camp and with his brother, Arthur C. Weber, explore the lead, cut across 10 days ago.
 The ore showing reveals itself, Hill said yesterday, in a strip of hard quartz assaying $l50, and one of honeycomb quartz assaying $297. Silver values of $1.60 and $21O are mentioned in the assay report. Ex- ploration will be made to reveal the extent of the vein and to show, as Hill said, whether we have 10 feet of it, or 100 feet"
 The Golden Treasure claim adjoins the north end-line of the Jersey Lily. Hill believes that the showing will reveal another such ore-chute as those found on the Railroad and Jersey claims, between which lays the workings now being explored. The lead was opened up in the course of prospecting, and if the ore follows out as it is hoped it will, the. men plan to tunnel in and stope on the vein.
