RECORD STORM HITS
CLARKDALE LAST WEEK

The heaviest storm Of the season,
and perhaps of many seasons past,
visited Clarkdale Thursday afternoon.
It reached the proportions Of a cloud
bust at many nearby points, and did
considerable damage, particularly to
the tracks of the Santa -Ee railroad
between Clarkdale and Sycamore.
Two bridges were damaged, and dirt
and boulders were washed upon the
tracks in many places. 1t will take
several days to repair the damage,
and no trains may be expected in or
out of Clarkdale for the better part
of a week. The Santa Fe bridge
across Bitter creek was also badly
damaged, some of the supports being
washed out. The v. T. & S. railroad
suffered to lesser extent, one wash
out being reported which was repair
ed last night. The Clarkdale smelter
will not be affected in its operations,
as there are sufficient stocks of fuel
and supplies on hand, but there will
undoubtedly be considerable incon-
venience caused to the district in gen
eral. One of the features of the storm
was the enormous hailstones, of a
size which Clarkdale had never seen
before, some of them measuring over
an inch in iameter.-Jerome News.

one boy tied ligature tightly
around the wound, while another ran
for the nearest phone, while third

Within 20 minutes the lad was re-
ceiving expert medical aid. He will
recover. After the lad had been car
ed for, neighbors went back to the
field and killed the rattler, diamond

Graham Crowley and his two small
sons were out after a load Of wood
Thursday about noon when an cleo

boy was riding one of the horses
There had been considerable lightning
but along about noon there was 9
very vivid streak of lightning Whicl
killed both horses in the team anc
struck Mr.. Cowley knocking him un-
conscious. His hat, clothes and one
glove were torn into shreds. The as
tonishing thing to many is the facl
that the boy. who was riding one Of
the horses killed escaped harm.
Dr.. Bouldin was called and did al
that could be done to aid the injured
man. Although Mr.. Cowley is in a
very critical condition, it is thought
he will recover.-St. Johns Herald.

SECRETARY OF STATE
STARTS COLLECTION OF
THREE CENT GAS TAX

Statements calling for the payment
of the 3-cent gasoline tax from June
8 on all gasoline sold in the state since
that date were mailed to the oil COM
panies operating iii the state by Sec
retary Of State James FL. Kerby to-
day, following the receipt Of the su-
preme coure decision sustaining the
highway bill.
The statements give the amount Of
money due the state from the sale
Of gasoline over and above the
amounts paid following the collection
during this period Of the old cent
tax. AS soon as the money is receiv-
ed, Secretary Kerby will segregate
the amounts and turn over TO each
county the amounts due it.
Governor Hunt, who vetoed the g.
cent tax clause in the highway bill,
made no further comment on the gas
oline tax question beyond saying that
he considered 3-cent tax too high
and uncalled for.

MUST HAVE ROAD
FUNDS FOR STATE

Governor George w. p. Hunt FRI
day afternoon declared that he had
nothing to say relative to the second
conference of state officials held yes
terday afternoon in his office to de-
wise some plan of action to straight
en- out the tangled affairs of the state
highway department Other state of
ficials who attended the conference
were equally taciturn relative to the
proceedings of the conference.
1t was learned unafficially, how
ever, that at the close of the con-
ference, which lasted during d great
er part of the afternoon, no decision
had been reached and that no plan
for raising funds for the department
had been formulated.
It also was learned that although
number of plans had been presented
and discussed, the officials were un-
agreed as TO which course to follow,
although the majority of the officials
were in favor of the governor cali
ing a special session of the Sixth leg
islature to provide the necessary
funds to carry on the road building
program Of the state.
The governor intimated that the
conference was a warm one and also
intimated that other conferences
would probably be held in the next
few days, but he declined TO SAY what
had transpired at the one yesterday
afternoon. He refused to state wheth-
er a plan had been found to finance
the department.
When asked if he intended to call a
special session of the legislature as
was suggested by the officials at the
first conference held on Thursday
morning, the governor said that he
had no statement to make relative to
such action.
Most of the state officials are
agreed, however, that unless some
means is found within a short time
to finance the highway department
| all work, with the exception Of those
contracts which are being carried on
with county funds, win of necessity
be closed down.
They also are agreed that unless
the state is able to catch federal aid
on number of projects for which
federal aid has been contracted with
The government, the state will lose
he amounts Of federal aid allowed on
hose projects.
It is also suggested that some Of
he officials suggested that the coun-
les be asked to agree to turn over the
proceeds Of their 75 per cent fund
o the state to carry on the work.
This course, however, it was pointed
1ut, is not feasible because, under the
aw, the funds of the rs per cent fund
Of one county cannot be used to fl
nance road work in another county.
1t was also pointed out that under
the provisions of the highway bill,
which became effective in full under
The opinion of the supreme court
handed down on August %, the pro-
ceeds to be raised by the bill can be
lsed only IN the construction Of the
projects, some 40 in number, listed
in the bill.
This, it is stated, is the stumbling
block over which the highway depart
ment is asked under the highway bill
to pass, and highway officials point
out that the passage cannot be made
because the list of projects does not
coincide with the distribution of the
major portion Of the revenues of the
highway bill. The counties receiving
the larger portion Of the moneys are
counties in which, it is stated, only a
small portion of the projects are sit
uated.
