RAILROAD VALUES IN STATE
FOR 1928 INCREASED $106, 1877

Railroad properties in Arizona, as
sessed for 1928 taxation purposes are
worth $106,1S7 more than the same
properties last year, according to the
tentative assessed valuations placed on
them by the state tax commission
as reported by Clarence L. Standage,
secretary of the commission. The val
uations made by the commission are
subject to change when the commits
sion sits as a state board of equaliza-
tion early in August.
The tentative report shows that the
total assessed valuation Of all railroad
properties in the state for the tax
wear of 1923 amounts to $100,533, ,814
as compared to final total assessed
valuation of $100,427,627 last year.
With a few exceptions in some of the
short line roads, the valuation placed
this year by the commission are the
same as those of last year. The total
mileage of railroad track owned by
the rs railroad companies operating in
the state, three of which are large
roads operating a number of branch
lines in addition to their main lines,
is practically the same as last years
figures Of 2460 miles.

WICKENBURG BLOCK
DESTROYED BY FIRE
DAMAGE is 5000

Fire which started shortly after
noon Thursday menaced the entire
town of Wickenburg and destroyed
five buildings in the Curry business
block before the flames were brought
under control after more than an
hours work by the fire fighters. Prop
erty damage was tentatively estimat-
ed at $4,000.
Burning waste oil in the rear Of the
Wickenburg ice plant, one of the build
ings razed, started the fire. The ex-
plosion of two large fuel oil contain
ers a few minutes later gave the
flames a headway which resisted the
progress of firemen until the entire
block had been swept.
Practically every resident in the
city joined in efforts to combat the
flames but the intense heat and smoke
hampered them. When the loss of the
entire block appeared imminent the
volunteer forces did what they could
in rescuing equipment from the build
ings.
Buildings destroyed in addition to
the ice plant included the Garcia meat
market, the Dow barber shop, the
Traders bank and the publishing Of
flee Of the Arizona Miner.

GOVERNORS VETO
STOPS COLLECTION
OF COUNTY DEBTS

Just how far reaching the veto of
the governor to certain provisions of
senate bill No. 156, the bill designed
by the legislature to finance the high
way department, will be is at present
beyond speculation, but the first def
mite effects came to light a few days
ago in the office of Richard II. Ram
sey, state auditor when the matter of
certain loans made to counties from
the general fund for bridge building
came up for discussion.
These loans were made to II of the
IA counties from the general fund un-
der an act passed by the legislature
several years ago for the express pur-
pose of assisting them to construct
bridges on certain highways in their
counties. The bill provided that the
state was to be reimbursed for the
loans by transferring each year to
the general fund one-sixth of the
amount credited that year to the 7 per
cent fund of the county owing bridge
loans, this system to be continued UNI
til the principal and interest was paid
out.
The books Of the auditor show that
Lnere IS now duo from the IL c0untleS
the sum Of $151 ,428.07 for bridge
loans, but the auditor is at loss as
to what method should now be used to
collect the loans, for the governor has,
through his veto of certain sections of
the highway bill, done away with the
rs per cent fund Of the counties. The
three counties which do not owe loans
are Apache, Graham and CodoninO
Mr.. Ramsey has appealed to John
w. Murphy, attorney general, for
solution to the problem, but so far has
not received an opinion from the
legal advisor Of the state government.
Nj. Ramsey stated, however, that he
expects to follow the veto Of the gov
ernor and hold that there is no longer
a per cent county fund. The inter
est on the loans has been paid up to
July 1, 1922.

GREAT DOIN'S WILL BE
DONE AT PRESCOTT

Fun and frolic will predominate
daring the four big days and nights
! Of the annual frontier days to be held
/ at Prescott on July 2, 8, and 5.
While the frontier days contests nat
urally attract thousands Of visitors,
/ the excellence of the delightful climate
7 of the Mile High City Of Arizona, plus

FORMER WINSL0YF OFFICER
TRIED In FEDERAL COURT
FORMER WINSLOW

Letters purporting to have been
written and signed by W. G. Kelly and
Ed Gardner, former officers at Wins
low, Arizona, to Enpch Wilson, Jointly
charged with them of stealing an au-
ton1obile, were introduced in the gov
ernment's case against Kelly and
Gardner Friday at Prescott.
Wilson, taking the stand as gov
ernment witness, paused before giving
his testimony, while Assistant District
Attorney Francis Cradle, moved to
dismiss that part of the indictments
concerning Wilson.
According to the testimony given
by Wilson, Kelly and Gardner asked
him to drive an automobile into New
Mexico, sell it, and send them back
two-thirds of the price.
They said, Wilson testified, that
they would confiscate the car from d
Spaniard on the grounds Of transport
ing liquor, deliver it to Wilson and
then hide his trail by neglecting to
send warnings to officers along the
route selected for taking the stolen
car from Arizona.
According to his testimony, Wilson
said he took the car to Clovis, ~ NJ,
and sold it and that number of let
ters We're exchanged between him and
the Winslow officers.
Two letters were read into the rec
ord, purporting to show that Gard
ner and Kelly were anxious to get the
money and were worried over the sup
posed loss of one Of Wilson's letters.
Later it was testified by Norman
Bennett of Winslow that he obtained
one of the Kelly Gardner letters from
Wilson and traded it for a warrant"
for Wilson in "the Mcclellan murder
case" Bennett testified that after
this deal they took the letter and
warrant into an attorneys office in
Winslow and burned them secretly

CLEvERLY HIDDEN STILL OF
INVALID MEXICAN FOUND

After a year of tedious labor and
several thousand dollars expense, j. c..
Escabido, an invalid Mexican, working
at intervals, constructed winding un-
derground passages and stairways
from a trap door on the front porch
Of his home at Miami, fifty feet be-
low to a large room equipped with a
complete apparatus for distilling liq-
uor, and made hundreds of gallons of
alleged Illicit whiskey for two months,
until Saturday night, when federal
prohibition officers and local police
tunnelled into the room and confiscat-
ed a still, large quantity of liquor
and other illegal equipment.
While Escabido is under technical
arrest, charges have not been placed
against him nor has he been placed
in the county Jail. He is a tubercular,
hopeless invalid and the father of
several small children.
Dry agents stated that the raid was
the most important in the southwest

SPRING NGERVILLIANS HAVE
BIG TROUT CELEBRATION

Greer, an attractive little Mormon
settlement in the White Mountain re-
gion, southeast of Springerville, has
a celebration that is all its own. 1t
invites in the world at the opening Of
the trout season and is open-handed
host to all who may come. This year
about 300 visitors were entertained.
At daylight all the young men of
the settlement had been ready along
the streams to return later with 500
trout for the evening feast. The larg-
est trout was % inches long and went
to the plate of the superior judge
from St. Johns. 1t happened to have
been taken by Mrs S. B. Boothe and
came from the Greer reservoir. In
addition, the diners were served with
balbecued beef and with profusion
of the fruits and vegetables for which
the district is noted.

CONNECTICUT MAN WOULD BUY
OUR SNAKES AT 35c PER POUND

Speaking of sage-brush, jack-rab-
bits and such heretofore useless parts
of Arizona, it seems that our desert
sands are going to prove of some
value after all. We need to grieve no
longer over the fact that we can't
coax oil wells to the vicinity of Doug
lass, nor turn cactus into California
fruit.
We have jack-rabbits and rattle
snakes. True, that isn't exactly news
to most of US, but the news is this:
Ambitious men are making fortunes
by selling jack-rabbits to eastern ken
nels and somebody is evidently find
ing a profitable use for snakes. Just
notice an ad that appears in the Sun
day Dispatch, in which a man in New
Haven, Connecticut, advertises for
Snakes, all kinds and sizes, 35c per
pound.

THE FREE PROPAGANDIST
SUPPLIES COPY PAPER FREE

The editor of the Hol5rook Tribune
would request people all over the coun-
try who send in an armful of litera-
ture each day in the way of free pub
licity to use good quality of mines
ograph paper, as we can then turn it
over and use the back for writing
good, live local copy on. We must
say that some of these free contribu-
tions which are sent in to the paper
are written on the best quality of pa
per, for which we extend our thanks,
as it makes excellent copy paper. Still
there are others who use a very poor
grade of newspaper, which is useless
to us, as the ink shows through on the
back.
The large amount Of free propagan-
da that is daily sent to the press is
appalling, and it does seem to be a
pity that so much good paper should
be wasted Very little Of it is used,
and then only by amateurs at the bus
mess. The rule in the Holbrook Trib-
une office is never to use a single
sheet of it. If anything is really
worth mentioning in the columns of
this paper, we will take the time to
write it ourselves, otherwise it goes
into the wastebasket.
1t might not be out of place to men,
tion the fact that for the past couple
of years we have not had to buy a
single sheet of copy paper. We now
have on hand plentiful supply to
last a month or two without making
any additions. However, we do not
like to discourage the myriad of pro-
ducers of free publicity (that never
sees the light. They probably need
the job and the money, and as long as
their employers think they are getting
something for. nothing, let 'em go to
it.-Holbrook Tribune.
