there was q local periodical qualified
 politically for handling such an .nouncements at that time.

 1t is presumed to be-" and there followed another round of laughter. Was it democratic under Colonel Rogers ownership"
 Strictly orthodox eromptly re- piled the witness. Whereat there iwas more amusement painted on the faces Of the spectators. l. William Waara, deputy mineral surveyor, who did much of the plat ting of the Black Canyon mining country, testified that the district wherein the Howard properties are situated, is much closer to Prescott than to Phoenix.
 It. was brought out that it had ibeen the custom heretofore, to pub fish patent and other such notices covering territory i'll the Howard vicinity, in one or another of the Prescott papers.
 Mountain roads are not Mir. How Iard;s favorite modes of travel He would rather, he declared with an in- tonation that left no doubt whatever Of his intense feeling on the subject, go all the way around by Phoenix than 10 enter his property from Pres colt. Why at times he was held up three or four days by creeks rising. Nr. Morrison undertook to inquire triile about the Canon-P Phoenix road.
 | Was itnot q fact" he asked, that at times the Agua Fria, whose lirnpid stream sometimes becomes raging torrent, borders the beautiful little city of Canon?"
 It did and it was, but Mir. Howard was never delayed there more than F hours. And besides there was all
 ways an opportunity to yank a ma- chine across by means of horses. The witness was asked to suppose that there were no horses at the crossing. But that was an effort beyond his supposing powers. He flatly declined to suppose an impossibility.
 At the end of some hours of ex- lainining witnesses, the taking of tes- timony was closed Miss Nellie Mar
 shall, superior court reporter, who
 took down the testimony, will type
 it for the inspection of the land office authorities. who will decide the issues.

 Another delusion of Kobaczobez, according to the complaint, was that he entertained plans of constructing bridge from San Pedro to Terminal Island, a small island lying between San Pedro and Long Beach, Calif., occupied mostly by squatters' shacks.

PROSPECT FUR
 RANGES BRIGHT.
Moisture Content Doubled; Res ervoirs Filling or Overflowing :;
 Freeze May Hurt Some Herds, But Spring Grass Will be Fine

Moisture content in the soil is doubly assured by the abundant snow on the cattle ranges Of virtually all northern Arizona. The possibility of a freeze lasting over more than a day or so, is source of some worry to cattlemen, however, for an extend- ed period of low temperature will be serious in view of early calving in some quarters. However, the cattle have remained fairly close even in the face oi the December rains that provided outside water supplies, and will be in reach of feed. And the large percentage that will survive such short periods of cold as occur in this latitude, will be all the better for the great growth of spring grass that is inevitable follo#ing the wet winter.
 Continued snow last night made it certain that if there is cold snap due, it will hang off for day or so, anyhow.
 Water stored in. the form of snow banks in the higher ranges east of here, will obviate all chance of . shortage in the Roosevelt reservoir. Late in the fall, the level i'll the lake had fallen so low that the irrigation district authorities were not releasing any storage for power purposes and the Yavapai county plans of the Ari- zona Power company were lighting Phoenix and turning the wheels of industry in Salt River valley.

the other states Of the union, will be
 determined shortly, when the bureau
 of education has tabulated responses
 to questionnaireS sent county school Isuperintendents in every state. One oi these queStionnaires was received yesterday by Mrs. Ward H. Wheeler, Yayapai county superintendent oi schools, and Mrs. Wheeler Is now busy compiling information for the bureau of education concerning salar- ies paid to the several classes oi
 rural teachers and school principals in this county.
 The classes upon which informa- ton is asked are: One-teacher schools. two-teacher schools, three or more teacher schools, consolidated schools, three or more teacher schools in villages and towns, prin-
 cipals in elementary schools, princi- pals in rural high schools, and prin-
 cipals in combined rural elementary and high schools.
 Counties in Arizona, Mrs. Wheeler said yesterday, pay their teachers dif- lierently. wages in some counties be- ing higher than others. The report
 of the bureau of education latcrS Twill reveal just where Yavapai county stands in comparison with other counties in the state ill compensation of school teachers. Statistics for the school year of 1920-l92l i'll this coun- Ity, given the Journal Miner by Mrs. Wheeler yesterday, reveal that the average salary for teachers in town and rural elementary schools was $l5376 per month for women, and $21024 for men. For rural teachers alone, including teachers in one. two
 and three-room schools, the average
 salary was SIPS per month. Thus, comparison of the two sets of figures reveals that teachers III cities and towns receive on the average a
 higher salary than rural teachers. Interesting as revealing the low
 status of school teaching as regards
 salary returns in some parts of the
 country, is the fact that on the ques-
 tionnaire sent out by the bureau of
 education. possible salaries were list
 cd at from $500 to $3,OOO per year.
 Allowance was made for the posSi-
 bility that teachers in some parts of
 the United States might receive less
 than $l,000 year to a point as low
 as $500, though the smaller figure,
 Mrs. Wheeler believes, is for part
 time teachers.

PLAZA STABLES
 BRING bIC SUM

For the first time in 30 years, the land located at the corner of Good win and Montezuma streets, compris- ing the Plaza stables, has gone into the records on a transfer of title Dixon Fagerberg, commission merch- ant, yesterday announced the pur- chase of the 100 feet fronting on the plaza from George Ruffner. The con sideration is said to have been in the neighborhood Of S10,0O0. At this rate the ground brought $200 per front foot, which men acquainted with downtown realty values declare to be about the estimated value of such a tract of land.
 NIT. Fagerberg will remodel the building, which is Of brick and sturd- fly constructed, and will let 1t to one oi several clients now negotiating, for garage, service station and ma chine shop.
 Oi importance to property owners of that part of town is the desire of Mir Fagerberg to work for improve ments including an elevation in the tone of enterprises leasing or other wise tenanting premises fronting on the plaza.
 The deal indicates what the Journal Miner has contended for some time, that the business section will ultimately grow southward. The construction of q postoftice building, adequate to the needs of the city, to replace the present limited quarters, will make Goodwin street one of the important ones of the city, and the paving which will probably be com pleted around the plaza during 1922, is another reason why the business district should and will expand in that direction. The site for the fed eral building, it will be recalled, is owned by the government and con- sists of the southwest corner of Goodwin and Cortez streets, the east end of the block on which Mir. Fagerberg has acquired his new holdings
 Mir. Ruffner is one of the older property holders Of the city. His place of business is famous through ont the county as one of the rendez- vous of cattlemen and others having to do with freighting and other for merly important cattle country busi- ness. He is now in a position to re tire and enjoy the fruits of a long and hard-workirg career, an example of the pioneer of the region now blossoming with new enterprises.

ARIZONA GENTLEMEN TO TALK MARKETING
 AT ANNUAL MEETING
Fron rrinav,s nailvl

4 discussion of marketing prob lems that may lead to an entire re- organization of cattle marketing in Arizona will be one of the features of the 1922 annual meeting of the Arizona Cattle Growers association, to be held at Globe from the 23rd to the 18th of this month. During the past two or three years, cattle prices have been unsatisfactory and while this aspect of the market has been dependent upon economic con ditionS interchangeable by the growers, it is felt by many cattlemen that a more systematic plan Of marketing would benefit the industry.
 Many Yavapai cattle growers are planning to attend the meeting, among them Harry Knight, president of the Yavapi Cattle Growers as Sociation. County Agent (. l.. Pickrell will also attend.

A number of head of sheep were lost in the snow early this week on MinguS mountain by w.
