TUCSON MERCHANTS
 TO BUY LOCAL STUDS

As an example of the benefits giv- en by cooperation between all inter ests, the Arizona Industrial Congress has made public letter from |. H. Hofmeister, vice-president of Albert Steinfeld and company, of Tucson, de- scribing the successful handling of the Pima county potato crop this year. A similar system was used in marketing the Salt River valley crop, with equally good results.s MT. Hof- meiser's letter follows:
 Replying to your recent inquiry regarding the handling of this sea- sons early potato crop grown in the territory adjacent to Tucson, we are pleased to advise you that it was suc- cessfully handled and to the satis- faction of the farmers, jobbers and the public.
 "Mr. Brown, Pima county agricul- tural agent, informed us several months ago that the local farmers ex- pected to have approximately fifty cars of potatoes to place on the mar ket. We realized that the local mar ket could not absorb such a large quantity within the short time it was imperative to move the crop.
 "We therefore requested the presi- dent of the chamber of commerce to call meeting of the wholesale groc- CTS, wholesale produce dealers, the interested farmers and Mir. Brown, to consider this marketing problem.
 "In the course of the discussions which followed all parties concerned agreed that by a harmonious policy of cooperation, alone could the prob- lem of the farmers be solved.
 "All of the Tucson potato jobbers pledged themselves not to import any potatoes as long as the local farmers were in a position to supply the de- mand at prevailing market prices. They also volunteered to assist the farmers in selling carlots at eastern points without profit to themselves.
 '"The farmers organized and ar ranged with the county agent to act as their representative to handle their entire crop.
 ''The jobbers at first experienced trouble on actount of a few of the farmers packing unstable small size potatoes. However, each sack bearing the Identification mark of the produc- CT enabled MT. Brown to call the of- fender's attention to the unsatisfac- tory standard of his pack, which elim- mated such annoyances on his future deliveries.
 "While the farmers lost good DOT tion of their crop by the early frost they were we'll pleased with the hear ty cooperation of the wholesalers, which made it possible for them to dispose of their potatoes quickly and enjoy the benefits of the higher prices obtainable for early potatoes.
 "The jobbers were likewise pleased with the arrangement, which ma,le it possible for them to realize legiti- mate margin of profit, at the same time performing a real service to the farmers by disposing of their product at satisfactory prices.
 "We believe that if the farmers in other parts of the state having sim liar marketing problems would enlist the cooperation of the wholesalers to work out mutually satisfactory ar rangement, it would prove benefit to all parties concerned"

IN CANYON
 NEAR MT. TRUMBULL

A report has been brought back from the north part of Mohave coun- ty by w. H. Welsh, that a man was drowned in one of the canyons, near Mount Trumbull, last Tuesday. The man was driving a team of horses and started to cross a flooded wash, be- lieving evidently, that there was but a foot or two of water flowing, when he dropped into depression in the bottom of the canyon and was carried away in the flood. His body was re- covered later. The man is said to have been a late arrival from Salt Lake valley. The floods in that sec tion have been wonderful, nothing be- fore seen there approaching them for volume.-Mohave Miner.

BIG U. s. ENGINEERS TO
 VISIT GLEN CANYON

A party of distinguished engineers and public officials will accompany E. c. La Rue, hydraulic engineer of the U. s. geological survey, on his surveying trip on the lower 120 miles of Glen Canyon on the Colorado riv- CT, which starts September 3. The personnel of the party, as announced by MT. La Rue consists of Herman Stabler, chief engineer of the land classification board of geological sur vey; Col. c. H. Birdseye, chief engin- ger of the topographic branch, geo logical survey; A. P. Davis, director of the U. s. reclamation service; Gov. Charles R. Maybie of Utah; Clarence c. Stetson, assistant to Secretary Hoover; R. E. Caldwell, state engin- eer of Utah; Prof. Franklin Thomas of California Institute of Technology; H. w. Dennis, chief construction en- gineer, Southern California Edison company; Charles P. Kahler, engin- ger, Union Pacific railway, and five boatmen.
 Ten dam sites in Glen Canyon, which stretches for 200 miles north of Lees Ferry, Arizona, will be sur veyed and examined by the party with a view to their practicability from flood control point of view
 The party, of which Mir. La Rue is in charge, will meet September at Richfield, Utah, and will proceed ov- erland from Richfield to the Colorado river at Halls Crossing, 120 miles above Lees Ferry. There they will embark with full camp supplies and food for three weeks trip, in four boats which are now being brought up the river from Lees Ferry to meet them.
 "There is no place to get out of the canyon between Halls crossing and Lees Ferry" said Mir. La Rue, land anyone who starts with the party will have to keep on to the finish"
 The ten possible dam sites will be reduced to two or three by the trip, it is believed, and these two or three will then be investigated further by rock boring and more extensive sur-I veys. Mir. La Rue expects that bed rock will be found at not to exceed eighty feet depth, which means, he says, that the Glen Canyon dam can be built for $20,000,000.
 Glen Canyon is 1900 feet high, and capable of providing 54,000,000 acre feet of storage space for water, but so much is not necessary, it is said. A dam 400 feet high would provide some 8,000,000 acre feet, which is said to be ample for any flood control.
 After the completion of this trip, MT. La Rue will join the Arizona Engineering Commission, of which he is chairman. for a three months trip down the Colorado from Boulder can yon to the Mexican border. The other members of this commission are P. J. Preston, project manager at Yuma for the United States reclamation ser vice, and A. T. Turner, who repre- sents the state. This party will in- vestigate possible irrigation dam sites and canal location, and determine how much Arizona land can be irrigated from the Colorado river.

COMMITTEE FOR WINSLOW
 STRIKERS HERE MONDAY

Mir. and Mrs. Harry Kislingbury, MT. and Mrs. John L. DeLacey, A. G. Sedillo and Frank Kayona, com prising a committee from the strik- ing railroad shopmen at Winslow, were here on Monday soliciting funds for the support of the shopmen during the strike. They did not meet with much success. The solicitation of funds is in direct contrast to the statement of their national chief, made the last of last week, that their union had sufficient funds to sup port the strikers during long period, at least three months, if necessary.

COST OE PAVING

Now that there is talk of paving
the streets of Hays, the expert con-
tractors are visiting our city to look
over the ground and figure on the
cost.
Ellis seems to have the lowest brick
paving cost in this section and with
the cost of sand hauling it will hardly
be lower here. That is 1925 per
yard for the paving, and $1.15 run
ming foot for the curb. That with
the streets paved twenty-four feet,
with a two-foot curb and gutter on
each side would cost $278.OO for a
fifty-foot lot or $575.OO for a 100
foot lot, payable in twenty years, in
stallments on your annual tax re-
ceipt of about $4,000 or $4,000.
At Downs, Kansas, they paved
their business streets with brick, as
in Hays, by the same contractor, but
in all of the residence streets they
are putting down the celebrated
Sheet Asphalt pavement, twenty-four
foot, with two-foot on each side
gutter and curb, the cost being $2.75
a square yard, and 95 cents foot for
the curbing, making a total cost of
$187.00 for fifty foot lot, or 1914.
for each hundred foot lot, so it saves
over $50 on a fifty-fot lot and over
500 on a hundred-fot lot, and the
contractor agrees to warrant for five
years. Rev. Hale, formerly of this
city, and the Mayor of Downs write
that about everybody there prefer
the Asphalt for residence streets just
as they do in Abilene, Topeka, Wich-
tia, Grat Bend and Hutchinson.
Why not give it a trial on Sixth
Avenue, Elm Street and Normal ave
nue., and try the brick on Fifth street
and on Juniata, the Golden Belt?

Hays rightfully challenges any city
ITS size in the state from an educa-
tional standpoint and the provision of
institutions of learning.
With an excellent system of public
schools, county and rural schools. the
Hays Normal school, one of the larg-
est in the state. and the Catholic
school, this city can rightfully boast
of its educational advantages.
There is no more important feature
to constructive advancement in this
day of advanced commercialism than
the acquiring of an education and
the growing city which eliminates
this feature from its plans is destined
to failure. The prospective resident
to any city first asks what the educa-
tiOnal advantages are and this Is
especially true if he be a man of
family. Every father and mother to-
day realizes the value of education
and insist that their offspring takes
advantage of it in order to better fit
them to cope with the daily problems
they are bound to come in contact
with in their battles with the world.
The early day founders of Hays
realized this condition and among the
first institutions established in Ellis
county were houses of learning. The
geographical location of the city
made it the logical location for the
State Normal School and develop
ment of resources has brought much
immigration, thus increasing the
scholastic census and bringing about
a demand for more educational insti-
tutions,~ The taxpayers of the coun-
ty were cognizant of this condition
and schools have been constructed as
rapidly as the occasion demands.
The schools Of Hays consist Of a
$3.50 high school, well equipped and

Substantial buildings have been con-
structed for all of these schools with
an exceptionally fine building for
the school at Ellis.
There are ffty-bwo rural schools in
addition to the ones mentioned above
which are we'll distributed over the
county in order that students attend
ing rural schools do not have hard
trips to make to and from school.
Forty-nine Of these schools are one
room schools, while three have two
rooms. There are no consolidated
schools throughout the county The
total number of teachers employed in
the county schools are 122 under the
direction of the superintendent of
county instruction. The minimum
salary paid these teachers is $75 pei
month with a maximum of $3.50. II
IS estimated that the cost of operat-
ing and maintaining the county
schools outside of Hays is $87, ,375.57
while the cost of maintaining the
Hays schools is $41, ,963.95 each year
