PHOENIX MINNEHAHA ROAD
MAKES NOGALES GIGGLE

How nice! Something for practical
" nothing" is what Phoenix is offer
ing its residents in planning the won
derful Minnehaha road so Phoenix
might enjoy close-by summer re-
sort" The forestry service is to put
up $4,000 and the state 100000, thus
relieving Maricopa county of addi-
tional taxation for highways" They
also have the nerve to call this noun
tain resort the summer resort for
southern Arizona, not seeming to
realize that southern Arizona already
has a number of fine places more ac-
cessible and much more suited to the
purpose than the proposed Bradshaw
mountain location.
Maricopa county bonded itself for
some four million dollars to build
paved roads within its farming dis
tricts, but did not provide a single
connection with the other highways of
the state. East, west, north and
.south-not a decent road leading into
the county. Selfishness supreme. Yes,
they promise to fill up the gaps, but
meanwhile springs are being broken
trying to get through to Maricopa
county to northern Arizona or west
to Yuma.
The cities on the southern route
the only all-the-year road-are going
all fall all over themselves routing
autoists by Phoenix, now that Phoe-
nix has come out into the open and
lined up with the central route crowd.
Phoenix from now on can reasonably
expect the active opposition Of Doug
rrox,.Irlo-a 10
gales, Tucson, Casa Grande and Yuma.
Phoenix boasts desire to cooper
ate with other sections of the state,
but is surely using short-sighted
methods to obtain cooperation. If
neutral policy had been followed re-
garding east and west routes across
the state, Phoenix would continue to
get the majority of the movement
that crosses the state on other than
the northern route.-Nogales Herald.

ARIZONA MAY FORECLOSE
ON STATE FARM LOANS

There is possibility that the state
may have to proceed under foreclos-
ure to recover moneys due from a
large number Of farm loans that have
been made by the state loan board.
State Treasurer Wayne Hubbs has
made report that $219,164 is due on
principal and $110,942 on interest.
These sums do not include the much
larger amounts due the state in prin-
cipal and interest from 100000 loan
ed for construction of the Lyman dam

curity of pledged lands around st.
Johns.

BLYTHE ROAD ABANDONED
BY STATE OF CALIFORNIA

From the state highway department
has come news of the receipt Of let
ter from the California highway COM
mission to the effect that the commits
sion has abandoned its plans for con-
struction of highway from Mecca to
Blythe, and that it would concentrate
its efforts on the completion of roads
that would connect with the Arizona
systems at Yuma, and near Needles.
Arizona highway officials favor the
Yuma route over that by way of
Blythe. The lack of a bridge across
the Colorado is considered vital de-
feet of the Blythe route.

Girls could be heard screaming for
blocks last night as they were put

tory part, each girl was blind-folded,
her face painted and led into the back
yard of the "Y" building, asked to
kneel, and scratch for worms. During
the scratching she would place her
hands in a pool of mud and another
girl would put worms on her face
and neck, the worms being wet spag-
hetti.
Shrieking with horror, the girls

way. asked to shake hands and at the
same. time grasp the devils eye, which
was a piece Of ice. She then walked
through an alley filled with round
poles, bottles, cans and other OBJ
stacles. Following this, she would
be taken into a lighted room, where
"red hot" pokers were in a blazing
blazing hot fire. Through a curtain
the girls would watch their sister be
branded. Instead of the hot poker,
the blind-folded girl felt freezing
cold knife being run down her back.
This concluded the initiation and the
girls were then allowed to go up stairs
to enjoy games and refreshments
