be combined into an infantry regi-
ment.
Another alternative move by which
Flagstaff and Mesa might succeed in
retaining the light artillery would be
the formation of another battery in
the state. The three companies
would give US a battalion and the
militia bureau, it is felt, might be
willing TO leave the big French 75s
here if Arizona had battalion. Pres
colt seems to be the best opening for
the Organization of new battery, and
an effort will be made to have one
organized there.
Battery D, with the money allowed
for permanent employees, forage for
the horses, ETC., to say nothing about
the money paid by the state and nat
ional government for drill, brings a
great deal of extra money into Flag
staff. The loss of the battery, unless
it were replaced with either a how
itzer or a machine gun company,
would be serious for that reason. But
there is a sentimental side to it that
is even greater and should not be ov-
erlooked in the effort being made to
hold the organization here in its pres
ent form; that is, the reputation Bat
terry d has made of being the crack
light field artillery company of the

The Coconino sun., 1923-10-12

The idea of the bureau is that in
asmuch as there are not enough light
artillery batteries in Arizona, nor in
Arizona and New Mexico combined,
to form a regiment, and as Oklahoma
has promised to take care of an en-
tire regiment, the inclination is to
give that state the opportunity.
This would mean turning the Flag
staff and Mesa national guard units
into infantry. All the other guard
organizations in the state-the three
at Phoenix and one each at Tucson,
Yuma and Casa Grande, are infantry.
While even then Arizona would not
have a full infantry regiment, it
would have two battahons-there be-
ing four companies to a battalion,
providing, of course, that Mesa and
Flagstaff remain in the guard if the
artillery is taken away.
1t is doubtful that the company here
would remain in the guard if the big
guns and horses are sent to Oklaho,-
ma. We might possibly remain in if
our unit is made either machine gun
or howitzer company. In that case
mules would replace cur horses and
the stable investment here would not
be lost. One howitzer and one ma
chine gun company are a regular part
of each infantry regiment. Doubt
less this state and New Mexico would

ANOTHER DISTILLERY
BUSTED In INFANCY

City Marshall r. L. Neill broke up
a very promising distillery business
last week, seizing the materials, with
the exception of the still, which could
not be found, and arresting the two
alleged proprietors, Ramon Gandrall-
los and Besillio SuguTa. Police Mag
istrate S. B. Gilliland on Monday de-
cided the United States courts had
better handle. the case, and Mr.. Neill
turned the men over to Sheriff Camp
bell. Gandrallios few weeks ago
paid a hundred dollar fine on SIM
liar charge. Mr.. Neill says he found
a mixture in the house rented by the
men, the last house in the west enc
north of and next to the railroad, into
which they had put seven sacks of su.
gar, 200 pounds of pinoche, six cases
of raisins and five sacks of bran. He
also found a two-burner gas stove.

APACHE COUNTY TO GET
PART OF THREE CENT TAX

Apache county will gets its share OF
the distribution of the money collected
through the three-cent gasoline tax
under a ruling made by John w. MUIR
ply, attorney general. Heretofore
under the distribution of the gasoline
tax according to the provisions of SEN
ate Bill No. 156, the highway bill,
Apache county received none of the
funds.
This situation arose due to the fact
that the bill provides that the tax
shall be collected by the wholesale
distributor and the further fact that
all of the gasoline sold at retail In
Apache county is distributed from
Holbrook in Navajo county. After
the first distribution of the tax money
under the highway bill, James H. Ker-
by, secretary Of state, asked Mr.. Muir
ply for ruling in the matter.
Hereafter the wholesale distributors
of gasoline in Hoibro0k win be re-
quired to report to the secretary of
state, the number of gallons of gaso-
line which were distributed in Apache
county and on this basis the tax mon
ey will be divided between the two
counties, instead of going to Navajo
county, as occurred in the first dis
tribution. Mr.. Kerby stated that the
first distribution would be corrected
and Apache county's share given to it.
The bill provides that so per cent of
the tax shall go to the county from
which it was collected, and that the
remainder of the amount shall be
divided equally between the state 25
per cent fund and the county rs per
cent fund. Mr.. Murphy's ruling will
apply also to the distribution of the
tax going to the rs per cent funds of
the counties, which is divided on the
same basis.
Mr.. Murphy bases his ruling on the
theory that while the bill provides
that the wholesale distributors shall
collect the tax from the retail sta
ton and pay it to the state, the in
tent of the bill is to require the con-
sumer of the gasoline to pay the tax.

HOHENHAUS HOME BURNS;
FATHER AND DAUGHTER
AWAKENED JUST in TIME

Fire Sunday afternoon destroyed
the residence of R.. Z. Hohenhaus at
North Sitgreaves street and West
Dale avenue. 1t was discovered just
in time to save the life of Mr.. Ho-
henhaus and his daughter. Most of
the furniture was lost as we'll as every
bit of the family's clothing, except
what they were wearing at the time.
The fire was discovered about four
o'clock by Walter Schulz, Mr.. Hohen-
haus' brother-in-law, who lived there
with them. AS he opened the front
door he was met by wall of flame
coming from the kitchen. Not know
ing there was anyone III the house he
began to yell "Fire!"
Mr.. Hohenhaus and little daughter,
about three years old, were in the
house asleep. The little boy was play
ing in the yard. Mrs. Hohenhaus
was at Wallace DeVaney's home. Mr..
Hohenhaus had nothing on but shirt,
trousers and underclothing. He ran
out, then back after his daughter,
whom he carried to safety.
Charlie Isham, Fred Metz, Brit
Hoffman and j. E. Nichols arrived a
moment later and helped get out the
piano, phonograph and center table.
BY that time the fire had entire pos
session of the interior of the house. 1t
was frame building, several years
old, sheathed with lumber inside, and
burned like tinder. The city fire de-
partment was soon on the job, but the
nearest hydrant was two blocks away
and only one stream could be played
on the fire.
The skeleton of the building is
standing. In addition to the family's
logs, Mr.. Schulz lost nearly all Of his
clothes and John Kunzelman, who also
stayed there, and who was out hunt
ing, lost all of his. Insurance was
$500 en- the building and $500 on con-
tents, which does not anywhere near
cover the loss. Mr.. and Mrs. Hohen-
haus bought the place only short
time ago. They have another house
south of the railroad.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
There had been no fire in the kitchen
stove since shortly after noon.

COCONINO COUNTY GOT
$39,8S6.78 FROM UNCLE SAM

County treasury was enriched last
week by 9,S86.78, received from the
u. S. department of agriculture anc
representing this county's share OF
25 per cent of the total collected by
that department in grazing sees, tim
Der sales, etc., in the national for
ests of the state. The amount re-
turned to the state was $154, ,577.79
which means that the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture collected just -four
times that amount from the 19 nat
ional forests in this state. This coun-
ty, having a greater proportion OF
national forests than any of the other
IL counties, receives more than 9
fourth of the entire amount returned
Half goes to the road fund, half to
the school. Last year the receipts
from the forests were much less
