NEW RESERVOIR NEAR
 OLD ONES RECOMMENDED
 BY ENGINEER DAVENPORT

City council on Thursday evening considered the acceptance of the pay ing project, the purchase of the Clark
 ranch for city park, and it's improve ment, the water project, and the mat ter of requiring property owners to build new sidewalks to coincide with lines drawn by the city engineer.
 On motion of Councilman B. A. Cameron the bid of Warren Brothers for paving, with type 11B, was unan- imously accepted. R. V. Walker, su- perintendent for Warren Brothers, de- scribes this type of pavement as fol lows:
 Type 11B consists of two and one- half inches of an asphaltic concrete base, with one and one-half Warren ite-bitulithic surface. The two and one-haf base is commonly known as black base. There are approximately 25 miles of this kind of pavement laid on the streets of Phoenix. It is mix ed in the same proportions as con- crete, but instead of using cement as a binder, asphalt is used. This asphalt is prepared in large mixing plant at temperature 300 degrees F. Asphalt is added and run through a mixing box. The resulting combination is then placed on the street at temper ature of 250 degrees F., and rolled with a lotion roller. When it cools it sets just the same as cement. The bitulithic surface is mixed in the same manner, and seal coat is added to the top, and also rolled. Six hours after it is laid, traffic may pass oevr it.
 "Black base has been laid in Phoe- nix, Tucson, Yuma and Tempe, and some will be laid in Prescott. Some of the pavement has been down for eight years, and no repairs have been necessary. Warren Brothers furnish their own inspectors whether a city has inspectors or not. The Flagstaff job will be finished by November |, if the weather permits. After Septem- Der 1, the hot material will be laid"
 It was suggested by Councilman Cameron that a mass meeting be call ed for the purpose of getting the sen- timent .of the public concerning the of the park. Councilman E. c, Slipher's motion that mass meeting be called at the courthouse on Tuesday, August 1, to discuss the purchase of the Clark farm was un- animously carried.
 A letter from George l.. Davenport, assistant hydraulic engineer of the Santa Fe, suggesting that new res ervoir near the site of the present ones be built, and that it be at least as large as the larger one now being used, was read. He believes that great care should be exercised and impar- tial decision arrived at. Sunday, Au- gust 6, the council and the business men of Flagstaff will go to the springs and carefully look over the Every resident of the city who is interested in it's. welfare, is urged to go. John Marshall, city water superintendent, stated that an immense amount of water is going to waste daily, and that there have been only two years that water has been very low.
 Attention was called that some of our sidewalks are not on proper grade levels and lines and property owners are advised that those not conforming to specifications will not be accepted.

REGENT EXPERIMENTS
 IN POISONING PRAIRIE < DOGS ARE SUCCESSFUL

According to D. A. Gilchrist, rodent
 pest director of the state of Ariona,
 who was actively engaged in exter-
 minating prairie dogs around Flag
 staff last month, specially good re- suits have been secured. He has been
 cooperating with F. A. Chisholm,
 county agricultural agent, and with
 Ben E. Foster, who is directing the field work in Coconino county. Foster was successful last week in finding 53 dead prairie dogs around IS holes, which had been poisoned in the Hart Prairie district. As a result of the cooperative efforts of farmers and stockmen in Hart Prairie, prairie dogs are becoming a scarce article, and the increased graing land and crops saw ed by killing the rodents is already noticeable. The federal and state ex- perts are assisting each farmer and stockmen who will cooperate in distributing the poisoned grain and in using the poisoned gas upon their land. Under the new methods which were recently perfected, over 90 per cent of the rodents are killed with the poisoned grain, and the remainder are exterminated with the poisoned gas. It has been found that poisoned gas is 100 per cent effective if it is forced into the prairie dog runways with a bellows. In this connection it is necessary to attach about four feet of common garden hose to the bel lows, and the operator can then force the gas into the furthermost part of the runways.
 Good results are also being secured at Doney Park and Black Bill Park. Foster has been cooperating with the farmers in clearing the pastures in that vicinity. John Francis and Err nest Burris are reporting exceptional ly good results at their places in ex- terminating prairie dogs, Francis re- porting that the work at his place was 100 per cent effective, and he says that it will now be possible for him to raise 25 per cent more crops than heretofore.

POWERS FOUND HOTTER IN NORTHWEST WHERE THEY
 THOUGHT IT HOTTER HERE

M. l. Powers returned Tuesday from an automobile trip of nearly 400O miles with Los Angeles friends, dur ing which they visited Vancouver, Se- attle, Spokane, the Yellowstone Nat ional Park, Glacier National park and Cheyenne, from which point the oth- CTS went on to New York, Mir. Powers coming back home by way of Denver, having been gone nearly a month. He studied into irrigation, reclamation and other general conditions in the northwest. He finds that the people up there regard man from Flagstaff as the unfortunate inhabitant of the torrid zone, not having learned that it is cooler here than in their own coun- try.

BURGLARS RANSACK CRESS
 HOME IN FAMILY'S ABSENCE

MT. and Mrs. Loren Cress and chil- dren returned on Wednesday from Kansas, where they had been visiting home folks of both MT. and Mrs. Cress, the former also having been at Atlantic City at the national conven- tion of Elks.
 When they arrived they found their home in confusion. Some one had broken in through a rear window, tracked mud all over the house, turn ed out drawers and trunks and ran- sacked the place generally. Some of Mr. Cress' clothing, a camera, a val uable shot gun and other things were gone, though nothing belonging to Mrs. Cress had been taken. Both the city and county officers are investi- gating and it is likely the thief or thieves will soon be caught.

NORMAL NOTES
: *+++%+++***+****$ :

Dr. R. L. Finney, professor of edu.. cational sociology in the University of Minnesota has been making good impression on the student body with his lectures during the last week.
 Superintendent George A. McFar- lend of Williston, N. D., who has for 30 years been interested in the de- yelopment of education in the pioneer states. and who was to lecture at the university summer session during the next week, will not be able to appear, as he has been elected president or the Normal school at Minot, N. D. Plans are being made to use local tal- ent for the lecture periods next week. Dr. McMullen will probably take Mon- day evening, and may talk about the things he has observed in the summer session.
 A number of summer session stu dents are planning to go to Lake Mary on Saturday morning, on the logging train, while another group may go to the top of the San Fran cisco Peaks on Sunday.
 The total enrolment at the Normal summer session is 626 this year, as compared with 485 last year.

In order to avoid the possibility ot
mechanical trouble and as matter
kof safety in preparing your car for
Pouring, a careful inspection SHOULD
be made of the running gear and
chassis in general. Again we must
Srefer to the instruction book in order
TO follow the chassis details closely
bnd to form a better acquaintance
with the car. Every instruction
book contains important inform;t'
ftion pertaining to proper care of the
several assemblies that go to make
up complete chassis.
Most important is the, steering
gear and it's connections. See that
all parts are securely locked by cot
ter pins or lock washers, as the case
may be; have some one work the
wheel in each direction while in
specting for loose connections. This
is important as loose connections
cannot be detected unless the wheel
10 turned. Points to observe closely
are, the bolts or rivets that fasten
the gear housing to frame. bolt or
nut that holds drop arm to steering
gear, ball and socket joints on drag
link, tie rod bolts, steering knuckle
pins. .... -
Steering gear and connections
should be fabricated carefully before
starting and II travelling over wet
roads, lubricate all connections ex-
posed to splash of road daily. This
is important in order to have easy
operation of steering, for a tight
I steering over long distance makes
driving difficult, causes sore muscles
and undue wear and rattles will de-
velop.
Springs should receive careful in
spection. See that spring clips are
pulled up tight and properly locked.
This is important as loose clips will
cause breakage.
Inspect spring bolts and shackles
carefully. Lubricate bolts thorough
ly, see that bolt nuts are adjusted
properly and properly locked In
place by cotter pins. This Is also
impdrtant in order to avoid spring
breakage. When adjusting the side
play in spring ends and shackles, do
not pull the nuts up tight as this
will bind the spring ends, causing
hard riding and possibly breakage.

to oil clutches. The instructions rer-
tanning to these are very important.
You may need them In q pinch.
Battery-The water level in the
battery should be watched closely on
touring. Water evaporates rapidly
due to warm weather, but more rap
idly due to long daily tours, when
the generator Is charging at high
rate without using the lights. There.
fore, inspection should be made at
least twice a week on tours until
you become familiar with the rate
of water consumption. See that all
battery connections are tight and
clean. Follow your instruction book
closely on this end and other cleo
trical apparatus. such as starting
motor generator and ammeter.
Brakes-These are, another OF the
very important items pertaining to
safety and should be inspected and
adjusted carefully. II brakes have

been in service a long time. 1t is
well to have them refined and ad'
justed before starting on long tour.
Tires-There is very little pleas
ure In touring II one has to suffer
lot Of delays wrestling with old
worn-out tires. Tires with fractures
In the fabric should be replaced with
new ones. Do not put weak tires
on front wheels. This Is dangerous
as blowouts at speed on front wneels
interferes with steering control and
is often the cause of serious acci'
dent.
On account of the difficulty In get.
ting tubes repaired over night and
the chance of more than one pune
ture on a days run, II is good prac-
tfce to carry two extra inner tubes
in addition to the spare tire.

be inspected and frightened in order
