 the two had travelled to 0atman to- gether. At rKingman Smith had se-
 cured about $100 from his bank in
 New Mexico and after paying for
 some repairs on his car had some
 thing over $100 left
 On the 23rd day of July, 1921, the two men left Oatman for Needles by
 way of 'Topock, the trip being made
 after night. A party of three men
 saw body lying in the road about
 Il miles north of Topock, but believ-
 ing it to be an old holdup trick they
 gave it wide birth and proceeded at
 "a more rapid rate on their way. A few miles below this point they found West in a Ford car stuck in the sand at. the side of the road, and as he was unable to handle it one of the men got in and drove the car into Needles and thence to Danby. There the car broke down and had to be abandoned, West taking a train to Barstow, tell ing the men that he would send some- one back after the car.
 The following morning the body of Smith was found in the road some miles north. of Topock. An examina- tion disclosed the fact that he had been shot through the back Of the lead. '.
 Then Sheriff Mahoney took up the trail which was meager one to say the least. With the hundreds of tour
 ists passing through Kingmar and two days already having elapsed since the n.urder, there was not much to work on. All the evidence Sheriff Mahoney foGnd on the dead man was signet ring with the initials L. s. on it. This and the mark of horse shoe tire was all the evidence there was to work on. Placing his depu- ties at diff rent points, Ma',oney started west gathering evidence as he went. At Ludlow he found the mur- der car, and exactly four days after the discovery of the body of the Inur- dercG man, Sheriff Mahoney landed his man in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles i,aper- at the time made quite a feature of the fact that Sheriff Ma honey was hatless ,coatless and wore a pair of tennis shoes when he arriv- ed in the Angel City, and commented o nthe fast work of the Mohave Coun- ty officer.
 He had bloody money or his person and the bloody clothes belonging to Smith, besides other effects of the rurdered man. He was returned to this county and tried. He set up a species plea that he and Smith had gone out from Oatman and when sor,e n;les on their road they were held ur by men in another car: he had been asleep and when suddenly awakened had grabbed gun and fired and that he had shot Smith in the eXcitement;. that the men had forced them into their car and one of ther number drove the Smith car until it had bro ken down; That they had taken part

of the money and forced ;he bloody money and effects of Smith on him. These men came voluntarily from Taft, California, and testified in the case, and while their connection with the case was not of the clealest, it was evident that they had nothing to do with the original killing, although it was rather clear that they knew that a killing had been committed.
 After the arrest and preliminary hearing County Attorney, John M. Hines, Jr., proceeded to accumulate evidence regarding the past life of West, and when the court convened for the trial of this case he had built up an impregnable mass of evidence. He showed that West was master crim- inal, stopping at nothing in his ca reer of crime, Murder, arson, robbery, ahdSa Hong list of lesser crimes had been fixed against the defendant, and so sblaek was his career tfatIa jury could do nothing less than give him the extreme penalty.
 The brief interposed by County At torney Hines was a masterly exposi- tion of the whole case. He showed conclusively that no right of the de- fendant had been invaded, nor was there one single error or presumption of error raised by the defense.

Blast-furnace slag as a material for concrete road construction is to be tested by the Bureau of Public Roads. At various parts of the country great quantities of slag are to be found at blast furnaces and tests will be made for resistance to wear, water absorp- tfon, strength and general utility. Test roads built with slag as the coarse material will be built in var ious parts of the country and reports will furnish information which can be fully relied upon.

AND ROAD
 MEETING IMPORTANT

The meeting of the representatives of eleven western states at San Fran cisco, which was called for the pur- pose of discussing and concluding the attitude of the states on federal aid road building and reconciling them to interestate lines twas one of tie most important called together in recent years. Every phase of the road slt- uation, so far as it affected the land grant states was gone over and a tacit agreement was entered into by which federal aid was given a better posi- tion with all of the state governments. The per cent federal aid system was .he main topic of discussion between the state road bureaus and t'ie bureau Q: ied,ral roads and a most pleasing understanding arrived at. The federal directnr of public roads was quite en- -thusiastic over the progress of road building in the west and is giving the w:'rk his hearty support. Tie !: per ''ceht type road is the main issie in the building of roads, no eff,rt be- ing made in various localities to get beyond the clay roads with some srr- facing suitable for the :afty ns If ordinary automobile traffic. .,
 At the conference Thomas Maddock, state engineer, agreed to include in the Arizona seven per cent system the 19 miles of road between Mes, ,e, Nevada, and the Utah State line, on what is known as the Arrowhead Trail. Mohave county has already built part of this road and the state will later use federal aid to rebuild and surface this road, making it one of the best oh the whole mileage of the Arrowhead. Mr. Maddock recent ly inspected this piece of roadway in company of Thomas McDonald ,direc- tor of public roads ,and also took in Boulder Canyon damsite. It was on this trip that Mir. Maddook conclud- ed that the Arizona side of the river was the best point of entry to the dam, and in this conclusion he is agreed with Congressman Hayden
 MT. Maddock also made ; arrange ments for the meeting of the Califor- mia seven per cent system at Topock and Yuma, no other roads being pro- vided for by California. This condi- tion practically obviates the attempt of Maricopans to bring about bond issue of $2,500,000 to build a road across the north end of that county and the north part of Yuma county to meet a road, from Los Angeles to the Colorado river by way of Blythe, as there will be no road to meet at that place other than the roads connecting with the main highways of the state. And therefore there may not be any weekend parties going from the al- falfa fields or. Maricopa to the re- ieving station at Los Angeles for some time to come. .
 The work of. Thomas Maddock at San Francisco will soon be reflected in the building of substantial roads from the coast to Topock and to Yuma, points that should have good road communication.

sible to get on the land, and seeded
it to wheat as early as possible, so
cleaned out without losing a years
crop, and that it certainly pays to
do it. 1t is simply a matter of work.
Without doing this work no crop
could have been grown on this land.
By working it to the extent of pre-
venting the quack growing, we got
a crop of % bushels of 61-pouno
wheat.
Shallow plowing after the crop is
removed, and raking the quack so as
to not allow it to take root until
freezing weather, and working it
again before seeding in the spring,
if honestly and properly done, will
kill the quack grass. Ordinary plow-
ing, and discink, simply cultivate the
quack. The roots must be worked
out and burned if necessary, to clean
the land so that the field cultivator
can be used. Quack land properly
worked will produce a better crop
than any other land.

there for a vacation more than being
attracted by the fishing that is so
plentiful. The automobile licenses
show that they come from nearly

attracted by good roads and pleas
ant surroundings. 1t is not the peo-
pie from the cities alone who visit
these parts but farmers with their
families, from Iowa, Missouri and
other states to the south and east
who pack up their tents and equip
ment and spend their extra time
camping, and the time will come

at least twenty-five thousand strang-
ers were there in camp.

Dr.. w. w.
Mcqueen Here

+ DIR. w. w. Mcqueen, brother of our
post master, came down from Lang
4don Monday and spent a day, in the
city on his way to Grand Forks via
automobile. DR.. Mcqueen is just
back from the south where he spent
the last year after closing out his
business in Langdon where he prac-
;ticed medicine for many years be-
fore he sold out and went south. DR..
Mcqueen went to Brownsville, Tex
as in March and remained there un-
til he satisfied himself that the nor
thern climate was better for him
self.
Toa representative of the Pioneer
Express the, other day the doctor
said that he thought it mistake
for any one to go to the extreme
south to live after living in the north
as long as he had. There are GER
tain. advantages there that we do
not enjoy here but as whole he ad-
evises those who have notion of
making change to give it a trial
for few months before they anchor
themselves SO they cannot return if
they want to go back.
+ Brownsville is quite place within
sight of the Gulf of Mexico, and in
the extreme southwest corner of Tex
as, bordering on Mexico. The peo-
pie living there are largely north
erners who have bought land from
land agents at fabulous prices with a
view of going into truck farming.
The railroad facilities are limited
and it is difficult to get what one
grows to the market in time on ac-
count of that difficulty.
Land sells for as high as $500 per
acre said DR.. Mcqueen, where irri-
cation facilities have developed, and
where there is no irrigation it is use
less to try to raise anything. Labor
is chiefly Mexican which is cheap
but not worth more than they ask
per day for their labor.
Regarding the climate DR.. Mcqueen
said that in the winter people went
around shivering at 40 above as much
as they do here when the thermomet-
er is considerably below zero. This
is on account Of the dampness and
raw winds.
The doctor is back to stay and he
is looking for a location somewhere
in this state or Minnesota. DR..
Richardson of Drayton who went
there before DR.. Mcqueen did has
bought dentists practice at Lakota
and is moving there.

Buying Grain
FOr.2 Markets

Last Monday afternoon Jos. Power
informed us that he and Ole Gjevre
had leased their elevator at Mazda to
the firm of Wiley, Low & Co. of Win
nipeg: The new proprietors have ta-
ken possession and are buying grain
and selling flour at their place Of
business.
The elevator is built just over the
line in Manitoba from MAZDA. On
that account they can only handle
American grain in bond, but they
buy American grain and on the ba-
sis of the Minneapolis or American
markets and ship it through in bond
over Canadian roads to points in the
United States.
They also buy Canadian grain and
pay for it on the price list from Win
nipeg. Payment for all grain is
made through the Bank of Mazda in
North Dakota and the Canadian grain
is paid for with American money.
In addition to the grain business
they handle flour, etc. AS there is
good deal being said about markets
on the other side as compared to mar
kets here, we asked Mr.. Power to
give. us the prices being paid for
Canadian and American grain as
purchased by the same buyer at this
elevator. His market card for yester-
day shows as follows:
