SANTA FEE WILL MAKE
 EXTENSIVE CHANGES THROUGHOUT SYSTEM

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway will spend $43, 0,000 for i'm provements, equipment, and new main line track during 1922. The 1921 expenditure was $35, ,000, 900. Of the 1922 expenditures, $11,750, ,0OO will be for the completion of unfin- ished work; $22, ,000, 900 for new work, including 75 miles of second line track from Yampai to Grifiths, Ariz., $8,- 100000 for new equipment, and $1,- 100000 for new branch line from Satanta, Kan., fifty-one miles west.
 In the construction of the Arizona second track there will be a grade reduction of 75 per cent to the mile, saving from 20 to 25 per cent in freight train mileage, which amounts to S500,000 per year.
 Under favorable conditions, probob- ly $60,00O,000 could be profitably spent in developing the Arizona terri tory alone, according to railroad ex- peras, but financing on such scale just at present is impossible. How ever, the Santa Fe intends to make many improvements and extensions in this territory in the next few years.

 About year ago when the sales were so slow and the various packing companies would pay practically nothing for fat stuff, the Babbitt- Doyle company opened a market of their own in Phoenix and are more than pleased with the results. It has been demonstrated clearly that the people of Phoenix want this class of meat, contrary, however, to the pre- diction of meat dealers in the past that the people of Phoenix did mol want the best grade of meat.

JURY DISCHARGED IN LUKE
 CASE AFTER DISAGREEMENT

After deliberating for nearly three hours, the jury in the case of Mrs Hattie Luke, who was charged with receiving funds stolen from the Bis bee postoffice, was discharged by judge William H. Sawtelle of the United States district court. The judge declared it a mis-trial.
 During the trial proceedings, the prosecution sprung a surprise when it placed on the witness stand Lon R. Bailey, former Bisbee postmaster, who was convicted of robbery in con nection with the disappearance of $40,000 from the postoffice. Bailey was brought from Leavenworth pri- son, where he is serving five year sentence. Matt Keaton, who was also convicted and sentenced to five years in connection with the same case, also testified.

ALMA SMITH IS NOT GUILTY
 OF GLOBE KILLING

After being out less than forty minutes, the jury at Globe in the case of Alma Smith, charged with the murder of H. L. Christensen, local au- tomobile dealer on December 16, 1921, returned a verdict of not guilty.
 Miss Smith shot Christensen in her room in a local hotel on the morning of December 16, firing three bullets into his body from 8 revolver. Ac- cording to the testimony in the case, Christensen had caused her to go through a false marriage ceremony which she believed was genuine, had beaten and kicked her, then repudiated their marriage and married another woman early in December, in Phoe- nix.
 The acquittal was based on self-de- fense. Miss Smith testified that Christensen had her by the throat and was checking her when she fired the three shots which killed him.

PERRlVS LAND TAKEN
 OVER BY TRUST co.

Dr. E. B. Perrin and wife of Will Hams have transferred to the Los An geles Trust and Savings bank all of the property in Arizona owned by the Perrins.
 The deed of transfer embraces the Baca grant, containing 5000 acres, and other land in various parts of the state to the extent of between 85.- 900 and 90,00O acres and "all live stock, personal and ranch equipment used in connection with the land"
 Just what the consideration was be- yond the $20 named in the transfer has not been made known, but it is said to have been about $500, ,OOO, with an agreement on the part of the bank in the articles of trust to take care of the Perrins the rest of their lives.
 . Timber land is included in the transfer, and on the Baca grant there are said to be curative springs of value. It is not known whether the holdings of Dr. Perrin in Cohise and Santa Cruz counties are included, as 1t was said some time ago that he had made temporary disposition of that land. There is suit pending against the doctor filed by a Colorado concern, which in turn is facing suit filed by him, and it may be this liti- gation was responsible for the trans fer.
 pr. Perrin was considered the lar gest holder of land in Arizona. He is more than 30 years old, but active. During the civil war he WIS on the staff of General Pemberton, who de- fended Vicksburg, and later he was a surgeon in the army of northern Vir- ginia. He developed the raisin grow ing industry in the vicinity of Fresno, Calif., but lost part of the fortune he made there.

My Dear Sun: = In your issue of February 10, you published four photographs. The third, that you published as Unidentified" is our friend, Will Barnes, who is now in charge of the grazing bureau of the department of agriculture and who used to be superintendent of the Hash Knife Cattle outfit on the Little Colo rado and Puerco rivers. He came to see me only a couple of weeks ago. He has written much on the southwest and is one of the best all-round fel- lows I ever knew.
 I am writing especially to ask you for the loan of that photograph of Commodore Owens. I just missed taking snap shot of the old gen. tleman at his home in Seligman a few days before he died and ough. to have his likeness in our historical files.
 Your county chronology is being given honorable place in the files of the Historians office. It is mighty good stuff and is doubly interesting to me, for I was in on lot tf 1t.
 Very sincerely,
 JAS. H. McCLINIOCK.

BABBrTT-DOYLE CATTLE co.
 NOW IN NEW OWNERSHIP

An important business change took
 place last week when the ownership of the Babbitt- Doyle Cattle company was changed along with the name of the company, to the Burge-Doyle Livestock company, with B. D. Burge as president, T. F. Doyle as vice-presi- dent, treasurer and general manager and Guy P. Hewitt as secretary
 It will be the policy of the company to handle as much of their products locally as possible and it is looking forward to the time when the whole production may be handled locally.
 The Babbitt-Doyle Cattle company was started by c. J. Babbitt and T. F. Doyle as the principal owners, with headquarters at Litchfeld, Ariz. They ship down from the north each fall cows with calves by their sides and also ewes to breed to lamb early. At the age of about six months the calves are weened and kept on the very best alfalfa and barley feed. The cows are also kept on similar feed until fat at which time they are ship ped to the Los Angeles market. The calves are fed and handled, so that at the age of from one year to eighteen months they are made to weigh 800 to 900 pounds. This is what is known as the Babbitt-Doyle famous baby beef.
 The ewes are kept on the very best of feed, also lambed early so that the lambs when at the age of four to four and one-haf months old are ready for the market. Last year the Babbitt- Doyle company lambs topped the Kansos City market 12 consecutive days. There were four trainloads shipped at different dates and ten cars per day. They topped the market

 closing herewith a dilatory subscrip-

 Of the many papers that I read or
 have read 1 must say The Sun is the best, not because it comes from the old home town, but because it is a versatile, unbiased, lively news sheet, sparkling with the editors kindly hu- nor and the personnel of the staff. It l is weekly of more than passing note
 and is most welcome in my mail. That County Chronology appealed to me very much and treasure each
 sheet that bears scratch of it and
 am carefully preserving each issue containing it, for 1 lived for over twenty years in and around Flagstaff
 and my boyhood was spent there. The old faces and line of oldtimers num-

 It took a lifetime to undo their doing,
 but it was undone and doubt if there are any of the old-timers there who
 really knew the foundation of the un-
 necessary suffering that was borne by
 my family in those early and impress sionable years of my life.
 Yet, withal, I won and carried with
 me an undisputed record there that

The selection of Good to head
Kansas City would seem to be "A well
considered move. He took hold of the
team In 1922. when it was down in
the ruck and going badly, and
brought IL up to the front.
Managers of that type are the kind
that eventually get into the major
leagues. Good has been in the majors

Chicago Nationals and he always
stood out because he used his head.
The pennant races in the American
Association have been Interesting the

of the most compact in the United
States. Almost all of its players
have been members of some major
league at one time or another. but

ris. Il is a question of everything
to and nothing to lose. Before
the season is over l expect that some
weird and mysterious plays will de-
velop. The present rule will. with
out a doubt. give the lovers of the
forward pass a chance to put their
new Ideas into execution, and l think
that there will probably be some ex-
ce.lent passing ideas developed from
Just such experiments.
Now No Easy Matter.
Getting the extra point under the
present rules is proving to be no
easy matter. Where it used to be a
joke ii is now very hard to sneak
over that other point. Against a team
greatly inferior In strength the mat
a team Of equal strength it is quite
a proposition. Personally 1 doubt if
so per cent of the try for points will
be successful. Remember. it means
either a successful kick or advancing
the ball Is yards on one play.
And remember also that IL the play
starts as a kick or pass II must
be carried out along the line started
For example. II a kick be blocked
the play ends then and there, the
offensive team not being allowed to
TO rush it through for a touchdown.
Some idea of the difficulty OF the task
can be gained from looking over the
results of Saturday early this sea-
son. Iowa failed to make Its extra
point against Yale. Harvard failed
twice In its game. The Army made
only one point out Of three attempts.
and Wesleyan failed in its attempt.
The results of the other games aver
aged about the same.
To my mind. the new method OF
trying for that extra point puts a
premium on good kicker. and have
never been able to figure a team as
being of real championship caliber
unless il had a man that could be
depended upon to boot the ball prop
erly when the time came for such a
play And in the game as 1t is played
today the good kicker is more valu-
able than ever.
Reports have it that in the middle
west the TRY for a point" is not
meeting with much success. How
ever as I stated before. / am sure
that the end of the season Will find
practically every follower of foot ball
enthusiastic over the ruling. When
the season has passed into history
and the rules committee get together
again / am sure that II viii stand
