NEFF SIGNS ID MEET THE SAILOR
CFrom Sundays Daily)

Chet Neff yesterday signed a con tract to meet Sailor Danny Burns before the American Legion here April 20, and notified the Prescott committee to that effect by telep- hone. He announced also that he had sent certified check for $l0O as his appearance forfeit.
 Nefi who is from the famous Vernon stable Of young boxers, has been fighting in the south of the state for nearly year and this will be his first show before a local crowd. The quality of Sailor Burns work IS well known from his show ing against Jack Lynch here Wash ington's birthday.
 An announcement in a local paper last week that Mike Ryan had been matched for boxing contest before a Prescott crowd was characterized by the original Mike Burns last night as extremely far fetched.
 "I arrived at Whipple Barracks two weeks ago Friday" Ryan told the Journal-Miner, and as 1 am stationed in Ward l2 l think it high iy erroneous to say that l am going to indulge in any boxing for a long while. If they have Mike Burns to do any boxing, he is not the Mike that has fought through the middle west and earned some consideration for that name. l have also fought under the name of Buddy Ryan"
 Ryan's home is in Kansas City; he was originally from Chicago At present he is among those fellows who. must devote their next few years to getting well.

From Friday's Dany) Belief Exists That Legislation Will Not Affect Highway Commissions That Are AL ready Doing Business.

The hows and why's of substitute house bill 43, trimming the sails oi the future county highway commis- sions, were subjects Of lively discus sion at the office of the, Yavapai commission yesterday.
 Chief Engineer Joe Mccarthy was there and had copies of various forms of the bill, and the puzzle that was agitating the boSoms Of the members was just which was the final form. That the bill will not reach back into history and wreak any damage to the present Yavapai commission was the belief that per sisted. \ more gloomy view was that one cannot most always some times tell what legislature may do when 1t gets another whack at a matter Of this kind. The bill passed the senate but in an amended form. and what will be done to those amendments when the measure goes back to the house of its origin, is the fly in the woodpile. as 1t were

.OH COLVO! HERE'S
 4 GUY 10 SELL OFT
 YOUR WHOLE OUTPUT

PHOENIX, April 8.-As a copper salesman, Ernest Hall secretary oi state, is there with the goods ! Whether 1t was because of the beautiful samples Of copper automo- 1 bile license plates which he exhibited Ia travelling salesman-plates which ghstened with the sheen of freshly uinted gold, or whether it was be- cause of the smile which seemed to lreflect the glory of the burnished metal no one can explain. The fact remains that Ernie sold the state oi
 Arizona $7,000 worth of copper iplates-at least he convinced the members Of the lower house that copper was the proper caper for next lyear's plates. and they agreed to in olude tAe $700O in the appropriation bill.
 How can we expect people to use copper, if we don't set them a good example" said Hall. "The copper plates will cost Is cents a pair more than the steel plates, but think of the value of the advertising of the state of Arizona"
 T suppose that the secretary will guarantee that Arizona copper is used in these plates" said Mrs. Bush.
 The secretary smiled assurance that he would.
 Tt simmers down to a question" :" said Representative McGrath, "of whether we want to spend S7000 for advertising copper"
 Its the first chance we've ever had to patronize the copper compan- ies," said Representative Udall.
 It looked for moment as though someone were trying to throw cold water on the proposition, but Hall only had to smile his coppery smile to get every one in coppery notion again, and the day was won for cop per license plates.

 SHY ONE BUCKER
(From Friday's Daily)

They will have to find another mean and ornery buckin' horse tc take the place of the Laundryman Harry Heaps personal representative in the string of outlaws maintained by the Frontier Days association will have to be replaced a whole lot, be- cause the c. Reaper, well known in these parts, up and moved that Laundryman cayuse down the other day.
 This is the sad tidings brought in yesterday by Foreman A. L. Love lady of the Frontier outfit, who just returned from moving the string from the Dolly ranch to the green pastures and still waters of William son valley, where the animals will subsist on the grass of Joe Young's pastures until graining time about June l. Twenty-eight bad, bold bronchos were hived in the Young pasture after a seven-rnile drive that had in it some of the excitement of Frontier days program.
 Lovelady was assisted by Ritchic Lewis, the winner last year of the diamond-studded medal. Maybe Ritchie was giving himself a preview Of the bronchos on which he will ride this summer to defend sthat medallion.
 The pastur;ng of the brutes indi- cates that it is crowding onto the time when things will begin to move ill wild west circles. Lovelady says that all the critters are in good shape except Halter, the miniature simeon. which he's some ga'nt due to hard feeding lately. But Halter is now on good grass. His ribs will fill out and his vicious temper return in all its primitive vigor For what would Frontier days be without Halter and Pee Wee? Nothin'; just nothin

Prescott is in two districts, the line of demarkation following Gurley street.
 The district boundaries follow those of justice precincts.
 One slight change in legislative district is made to simplify the dis tricting; this lops Mayer off the leg islative district in which Jerome and Clarkdale and Humboldt lie and adds it to the district chiefly remarkable for containing the southern half of Prescott.
 All the various political subdiyis- ions of Yavapai county are now drawn on one map which will be made the official map of the county. Lines of different colors bound the F justice precincts, the four lesisla- tive districts and the three super .visoral districts.
 Here is the new division in terms |of existing justice precincts:

 Second District
 The south half of the Prescott precinct; Congress Junction, Crown King, Mayer,
 Third District
 Jerome, Clarkdale and Camp Verde.
 On the advice of the county at torney's office, the board considered population as indicated by the last vote for governor as, the chief factor in the division. The distribution of taxable valuation was the secondary consideration. The law obliging counties to subdivide says population and wealth shall be considered in making the divisions.
