CHAS. E. HOWARD, THE WELL LOVED
 PIONEER IS DEAD

The pioneers of northern Arizona and particularly of Flagstaff were pained to learn that MT. Charles E Howard died in his home at Phoenix Arizona, at o'clock on Tuesday af. ternoon, March IA, 1922. Mir. Howard was intimately known to all the old. timers of northern Arizona, and to a host of friends in all parts of the state. While he had not lived in Flagstaff for several years past he was a well known figure to practically all the citizens because of his ire quent visits to his business asso- ciates in this city.
 Charles Eager Howard was born in Richmond, Virginia, on June 6, 1856. In early youth his family moved to their old home in Baltimore, Md, at which place and in military school at Richmond, Va, Mir. Towards youth was spent. In the spirit of ad- venture he came west in early man. hood, arriving in Flagstaff in 1881 and immediately became an employe of the Aver Lumber Co.,, which be- gan in that year the construction at Flagstaff of the first saw mill in Ari- zona. The company was organized by Mir. Ed E. Aver, Chicago, and was succeeded by the present Arizona Lumber & Timber company. MT. Howard continued an employe of the company until, in association with the Riordan brothers, he went into the sheep business about 1890, organ izing the Howard sheep company in 1893, becoming it's president upon organization and remaining its presi- dent until the day of his death. For many years his headquarters were at Flagstaff but subsequently, he re- moved to Ash Fork to keep in close touch with his range north of Ash Fork and Williams. During all these years he managed the affairs of this company, through good times and evil, with skill, rare good judgment and splendid executive ability. There was no better range neighbor to be found in Arizona than he and no truer friend to those with whom he had business relations and no man whose word was better than his lived in the state.

efty of motive and uprightness of Trinciple were native to his blood. He
 was true friend to all, kind to those under his authority, subservient
 to no one, but just to all. There are very few such strong characters in
 any community and those who were
 his friends will miss him, while, at
 the same time, the memory of him
 Will be strength and spur.
 MT. Howard came of family that exercised a wide influence in the af- fairs of the country since the days of the revolution. His ancestors were of the Howard family of England and the branch that settled in the Ameri- can colonies became connected with practically all the first families of Virginia and Maryland He was con nected through marriage or blood with the Pagers, Chews, Taneys, Pen dletons, Carols of Carrolton, and practically all the old families of Richmond and Baltimore. Francis Scott Key, the author of Star Span- gled Banner was his relative by mar riage and the blood of chief justice Fancy came to him through one of that great jurist's daughters. He was full of anecdotes and instances con- corning many of those old families, and while his lineage made no differ ence in his relations with those about him, still with those that were close to him the quality of his blood showed clearly. He was always gentleman even in the dust and turmoil of a sheep camp.
 MT. Howard was happily married in January 1906 to Miss Mary Aver da Dresbach of Ohio, who faithfully and helpfully shared the difficulties of range and ranch life with her hus- band in northern Arizona, the com forts and higher things of life which came to them in their comfortable homes both at Mesa, Arizona, and fi- nally in the pleasant surroundings of the beautiful home on North Central avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, where they enjoyed the we'll earned reward in the delightful surroundings and where they took their greatest pleasure in cultivating and establishing a splen- did collection of flowers and trees.
 MT. Howard suffered from i'll health for several years and among his close friends his taking away was an- ticipated for some time past. The end came through complication of phy- sical troubles on Tuesday afternoon and the sympathy of all his friends throughout the state go out to Mrs. Howard, his faithful companion for many years.
 The remains will be taken to Balti- more to rest with the dust of his family. Services were held in Phoe- nix in Moore's Funeral chapel at half past two Thursday afternoon, March 10th. The remains left Phoenix at 6:10 the same evening, accompanied to Baltimore by Mrs. Howard and MT. T. A. Riordan of Flagstaff. They will reach Baltimore on Monday morning, March 20th, where the final services will be held and the body of one of Arizona's most respected pion- eers will be laid to rest with his fa- thers.

To put 100000 ex-soldiers into jobs is the Legion's immediate objective, according to an announcement from Legion national headquarters. To ac- complish this, a nation wide drive will be launched from local posts in every city and town in the country on March 20, and employers and business men will be called into conference to devise ways and means of creating jobs.
 Civic organzations from Maine to California have been asked to swing into line to back up the Legion and make concerted effort which will be felt in all sections of the country. By stimulating industry, by pushing en- gineering projects and municipal de- velopment, by speeding up public util- ity enterprises, roadbuilding, paving, dredging, truck gardening, reforesta- tion and reclamation, and by encour- aging the "back-to-the-farm move ment, the Legion hopes to break the labor slump which has kept worthy men out of work and caused wide spread distress. Each city will be divided into regions, each under it's own post and development committee, with a general committee coordinat- ing the efforts of all.
 It took a small Jewish girl and a little maid from Italy to win first and second prizes for the best es- says on "Our Greatest American" The contest was held by the Legion at Auburn, N. Y.
 Napoleon was right! Fifty cakes, 40 cases of soft drinks, two bushels of peanuts, 20 gallons of ice cream, 4,000 sandwiches, and crate of oranges were consumed by 900 ex-soldiers (and friends) at an American Legion housewarming at Binghampton, N. Y.
 There is only one god, and that god is Allah," yelled young man at midnight, from the top of lonely hill in Nashville, Tenn. The police were not placated until Legion com rades explained that he was being initiated into Greek letter fraternity.
 Gall0plng from hangars on winged mounts, ex-fliers of the Legion staged an aerial polo game in recent car nival at Miami, Fla. Toy balloons were used in place of polo balls.
 Capt. Charles Ainsleigh, skipper of a coal barge in 1918, was the only American wounded off the coast by enemy fire. He was hit by shell from submarine while his small son stood on deck and waved an American flag. Jobless for almost year, Ains- leigh, through the Legion, has landed position as watchman at the state house in Boston, Mass.

DEPUTY BOB
GETS BOOZE
Montana Booze Runner is
Landed in Lively Chase
Near Benton City

Deputy Sheriff Bob Lord assisted
by 30-30 rifle and a Ford car and
Frank Mason Tuesday evening ran
down highpowered touring car, con-
fiscated cases of bonded whiskey
and arrested the driver who gave his
name as H. Hunter Of Helena, Mont.
Late Tuesday afternoon telephone
call received at the sheriff's office
brought the information that booze
runner had crossed the Columbia riv-
er and was headed up the valley.
Deputy Bob accompanied by Mason
hoped into a county tin Lizzie and
headed down the valley. At Benton
City they halted and awaited the ar
rival of the booze car. About z o'clock
it arrived but the driver, instead of
needing the command to halt, stepped
on the gas. The deputies gave chase
and Bob opened up with his 30-30 but
aside from puncturing the tonneau
and breaking three bottles of Johnny
Walker, did no damage to the car or
its occupants.
About four miles west of Benton
City the larger car collided with an
irrigation flume and the two men who
occupied it took to the sagebrush.
The owner of the car soon halted and
submitted to arrest, but the other dis
appeared over a hill and escaped.
Hunter says the other man had no
interest in the booze but was riding
with him to Yakima.
Hunters was taken to Prosser
where he was held on state charge
of having liquor in his possession,
which carries maximum fine of $3.50.
This he paid andcontinuedonhisway
This he paid and continued on his
way to Yakima.

BIG Y STARTS
WORK AT ONCE
Manager Announces that
Work on Cold Storage
Will not be Delayed

Announcement was made by C. H.
Swigart, general manager of the Yak
ina Fruit Growers Association, while
in Kennewick this week, that con-
struction of the cold storage plant
will begin forthwith. The building
will be of hollow tile construction,
150x96 feet, two floors, with a stor-
age capacity of $4,000 boxes of ap-
pies. 1t will be strictly modern in
every particular, equipped with a
double system of refrigeration and
the latest improved conveyor system,
making it possible to handle fruit
quickly and cheaply.
In speaking of the plant Local Man
ager H. w. Desgranges said: "This
will bring to realization. the hope
we have entertained and the object
we have been working for for a num-
Der Of years. It is big undertaking
but the need of it has become so i'm
perative that the growers have been
convinced for some time that they
could not afford to longer delay it.
The loss last year on Bartlett pears
alone, due to lack Of facilities for
proper cooling, would take care Of a
considerable part of the cost of the
plant. This plant will be equipped
with three rooms especially designed
for preceding pears with capacity
for handling five cars day.
"This plant will enable the Big Y
to handle a considerable additional
tonnage, but it is evident now that
this margin will be rapidly taken up.
A number of growers have already
enrolled themselves and number OF
applications have been received from
up-river points as far west as Apricot.
However, .Kennewick and Richland
growers are to be given the first OPP
portunity of absorbing the space not
needed by our present growers. This
plant cannot be considered purely
local affair. It marks the beginning
of a vast industry which will be rap
lily developed. Situated as we are,
the gateway to the Yakima Valley,
with our transportation facilities, we
are in a position to serve the entire
valley. The low storage in transit
rate brings the entire valley to our
door"

Packwood Land & Invest
ment Lets Contract for
1,000-Foot Well
SIX MILES SOUTH
ON JUMP-OFF JOE
Well to Be Put Down on Sec
tion of Land Owned by
Development Co.

The Packwood Land G. Investment
company yesterday closed contract
with Charles E. Lewis, of Stanfield,
Oregon, for drilling deep well on
the slope of Jump-0ff Joe six miles
south of Kennewick. The contract
calls for drilling 1000 feet or to nat
ural gas. Drilling will start with
ten-inch hole.
Mr.. Lewis has rig in Horse Hea-
ven now which he will move to the
new location. A new string of tools
has been ordered and as soon as they
arrive work will start on the new
well.
The well will be sunk on a section
of land to which the Packwood COM
pany holds title.
sour object in drilling is to get
gas" said w. II. Mather, manager
of the company. "Our well will be
located on a well defined anticline,
the characteristics of which are al
most identical to the one on the slope
of the Rattlesnake Hills where sew
eral gas wells have been brought in.
AS matter Of fact there is gas all
around us. A showing of gas has
been found in several wells on the
other slope of the hills in Horse Hea-
ven; there is gas in the Columbia
Basin well at Alfalfa farther down
the valley and our geologists- have ad-
vised us that there is little doubt but
that it can be struck where we will
drill. If we do bring in gas our step
will be to pipe the gas into Kenne-
wick for domestic and industrial use.
1--WE are Of the opinion that with
gas wells and gas seepages on all
sides Of us it is worth while to drill
on location where the piping Of gas
will not mean a big outlay of capital.
Our company is q local company in
which S. T. Packwood and w. p.
Lawrence are the largest stockhold-
ers. We have no salaried officers, no
promotion stock and are paying no
commissions. Every dollar realized
from the sale of stock goes into the
company treasury and will be used in
the development Of our holdings which
if water, and not gas, is struck, can
be developed as valuable farm lands.r
