COUNTY AND HOME
AGENTS RETAINED
Board Increases Salaries-Goo
Work Done by Legetts
Commended by Move.

The Board of Supervisors Of Lin
coin county have voted to retain the
offices of County Agent and Home
Economic Agent. The decision lack
ed only one vote Of being unanimous.
A large delegation OF representative
citizens Of town and county appear
ed before the board some weeks ago
to urge that the county agents and
home agents offices be continued.
The salary of the county agent, for
merly eighteen hundred dollars and
gasoline, has been increased to
twenty-four hundred dollars per
year. The home economics agent
will receive twelve hundred dollars
instead of nine hundred from the
county, government funds available
for agricultural work Of this kind
permitting a supplement from that
source Of about nine hundred dol
lars for the county agent and six
hundred for the home economics a.
gent, in addition to the sums agreed
upon from this county, SO that the
actual salaries will be thirty-three
hundred and eighteen hundred ap-
proximately.
The office of County Agent, vacant
several months through the resig-
nation of the incumbent, will be
filled by an agricultural expert from
Arkansas, and Louisiana woman
will fill the position of home econ
omics leader.
The retiring officers, Henry H.
Legett and Miss Eva Legett, will be
remembered in Lincoln's history as
pioneers who laid the foundation not
only in the agricultural interests ov-
er which they had supervision; but
in the good salaries that are now be-
ing paid as the result in great part
of their efficient service.

HIGHWAY DEPT.
CALLING FOR BIDS

The state highway department will
receive bids March for the con-
struction of two 90-foot spans at
Arlington across the Hassayampa
river. The spans are to replace the
timber structure taken out by the
high water last August. The new
spans will connect with the remain
ing portion of the bridge and Will be
$50 feet in length, according 10 Mer-
rill Butler, bridge engineer with the
department.
THE highway department has called
for bids for grading four miles OF
road north of Prescott, known as fed
eral aid project SO. The road viii be
used by travel over the Prescott
Jerome highway and the Prescott
Ash Fork highway. The road when
was recently located, runs through
Fort Whipple and the better section
of the city than the former road.
The change was made at the request
of the Yavapai county chamber OF
commerce and gives a closer connec-
ton between Prescott and the fort.
Bids for this grading work Will be
received at Prescott March 10 while
bids for a 13S-foot bridge across
Granite Creek will be opened IN
Phoenix March is.
The bridge department Is working
on plans for a 160-foot span across
HelPs Canyon on the road between
Prescott and Ash Fork. The depart
ment will design a concrete structure
and with the Yavapai county high
way commission will consider alter
nate designs of steel structure.
Engineer Butler is also working on
the design of bridge across Santa
Maria or Kirkland wash for the
Yavapai county highway commits
sion. The design will probably be
133-foot steel span, to bridge the
creek from bank to bank without the
necessity of piers placed in the
stream bed proper. While floods are
infrequent they carry timber from
the mountains and the heavy slope OF
| the stream bed necessitates that the
channel should not be blocked.
Another item that is claiming Mr..
Rutler's attention is a plan for
bridge across Lynx Creek eight miles
out of Prescott and on the road TO
Dewey.

RAILWAY MEN HAVE

Phoenix yesterday.
The suggestion OF a lower rate 70

passenger rates to eastern points met
with no response from Mr.. McCor-
mick except that the high rates were
as embarrassing to the railroads as
to the people.
"The railroad can not stop operat-
ing whether it pays or not, he SAID,
as he spoke of the water competition
which must be met and other factors
taken into consideration in fixing
rates.

INCREASED USE OF
ARIZONA PRODUCTS
FOLLOWS CAMPAIGN

The use Arizona Products" cam
paign of the Arizona Industrial con-
gress has already resulted in a ma
terial increase ~ the sales of Arizona
made butter, canned milk and cheese,
Dudley B. Wester. president OF the
Maricopa Creamery company, said
Yesterday in commenting on the work
of the congress. Mr.. Webster credit
ed increased sales of the products OF
his creamery to the efforts of the
Industrial congress as well as to his
company's work in educating the
public to the use of home dairy pro-
ducts.
Perhaps the greatest point to be
brought out in stimulating the sale
of Arizona dairy products is the fact
that it is no longer necessary to snip
in butter. canned milk and cheese 10
meet the Arizona demand. Enough
milk products are now produced IN
the state to supply every community
and as retail dealers realize this they
are placing their orders at home in
stead OF outside" said Mr.. Webster.
Mr.. Webster pointed out that
few years ago Arizona creameries
were supplying by far the greater
part of the dairy products used IN
the state. The decline of the dairy
industry. however. reduced the sup
ply and dealers who could not obtain
their needs at home placed their or
ders elsewhere. Now the dairy in
dustry is reviving rapidly. and the
necessity for going outside the state
for butter and evaporated milk no
longer exists.
"The thing we need most now
said Mr.. Webster. sis the one Tor
all, all for one clannish spirit tnas
has made California. We must stick
together and use each others prod
ucfs and keep our money at home.
we must all unite in keeping out
outside products. Arizona products
can compete with prices and quality
with those shipped in. and the supply
is adequate for all demands.
