RATE EXPERT IN FLAGSTAFF

F. A. Jones came up from Phoenix
the first of the week to join Mrs.
Jones, who has been here for a couple
of weeks. They expect to remain DUR
ing the. greater part of the summer
months Mr. Jones, who is a member
of firm of Jones, Blaine & Jones, rate
experts, just finished strong pres
entation of the railroad rate case be-
fore the state corporation commission
which took two solid weeks. He says
he has every reason to believe the
commission will grant general reduc-
ton in Arizona freight rates, since it
was conclusively shown that Arizona
had been grievously Disseminated
against by railroads as compared with
other mountain states. A decision, he
believes, will be reached by Novem-
ber.

The general impression prevails that
Governor Hunt will call special cleo
tion in Coconino county to fill the va
cancy in the state senate caused by
the death of Senator Hugh Campbell.
It hardly seems possible that Gov.
Hunt will refuse to call special cleo
ton in Coconino county since he has
called one such election in Maricopa
county to fill vacancy in the house.
1t is evident that Gov. Hunt, who
claims to be an economist, would not
call the Maricopa county election un-
less there is to be a special session
Of the legislature this fall.
It is said on good authority that
Governor Hunt desires the Colorado
river pact be made the sole issue in

BIG LOBO WOLF, A FOE
TO CATTLEMEN, KILLED
BY GOVERNMENT MEN

Tricked by special bait into bur-
led No. ID trap, lobo wolf that had
been taking toll from the DIX and
other cattle outfits in the Barney Pas
ture section, was shot last Wednesday
by William Castro and Charlie Gill
ham, biological survey predatory ami
nal hunter and his assistant.
It was one Of the biggest lobos ever
killed in this state. He was estimated
to be between three and five years
old. He measured about six feet from
tip to tip and had gorgeous set Of
fangs.
George (''Shorty") Nolan, fore
man of the XXX. cattle company,
had for long time wanted reckon
ing with this fellow who, with three
or four other wolves have been doing
great damage. One old fellow in par
ticular, who has been a nuisance in
that section for the last II years, is
his special pet aversion, and Castro
and Gillham say they are going to get
him next.
Castro wouldn't tell what kind of
bait he used. He has secret formula
that he says overcomes the wariness
of the wolves. It is seldom that one
is ever coaxed into trap, especially
when there is plenty of livestock
roaming around. But Castro says this
bait is pretty near infallible if the
wolf happens to get it in his range
of smell.
They had the trap set quarter of
a mile north of Turkey Butte lookout
station, about three miles northwest
of the Fernow ranger station, south
west of Flagstaff. The big fellow
stuck his left front paw into the trap
during the night and when the men
found him next morning they shot
him. The trap has offset jaws, with
teeth, and the only way the lobo could
have got away would have been to
have left his paw there. The men
were in Flagstaff the last of last
week. They also got two coyotes and
a bobcat during the week.
James Kennedy, secretary of the
Normal board, was up from Williams
on Tuesday.

Coconino Willing 10 accept Hunts Proposition to
Make Colorado Pact Sole Issue at Special Election

be the filing of petitions containing
the names of rs per cent of the total
vote for the office at the last election.
With Congressman Hayden, Senator
Milford Winsor and other democratic
leaders standing solidly behind the
ratification of the pact and doing all
in their power by speeches over the
state advocating the ratification, no
reasonable person can claim politics"

1t is for or against the Colorado

The people of Coeonino county are
willing to accept the pact as the sole

eschew all politics for the time being

It is also seriously suggested by
voters regardless of party, that recall

against the pact.
The recall would cause no additional

Deer Decrease In
Medicine Bow Forest

Reports from the field officers Of
the Medicine Bow National Forest
at the termination Of the big game
season and following their investi-
cations Of the summer, indicate that
the deer on the forest are not hold
ing heir own in numbers. While It
Is true that the buck law has de-
creased the number Of deer killed
annually, the reduction OF the num-
Der of bucks has also caused q de-
cline in the number of fawns, many
dry does being seen this season. A
large amount Of snow occurred dur
ing the hunting season this year re-
sulting In that many more deer be-
ing killed this year than last. 1t Is
estimated, however, that but one
deer was killed by every ten hunt
ers in the woods. 1t was very no.
ticeable that the majority of all
bucks killed we're two and three
year olds, very few old buks being
killed. The total number of deer on
the Mediine Bow Forest is very
small compared to acreage within
the Forest. 1t is onservatively es-
timated that the Forest contains
about 700 deer or but one deer to
every wv ares. luolcdu u tulo
number there should be several
times that many and they should be
30 numerous that our people and
visitors would be able to see deer
whenever they are upon the Forest.
The value of such a cannot
be estimated. The Kaibab National
Forest, along the rim OF the Grand
Canyon was made a game preserve
several years ago and today as many
people visit the Forest to see the
deer as go through It to see the
Gran Canyon. 1t is not desirable to
make a game preserve OF the Medi-
cine Bow Forest. 1t has been sug-
gested. however. that sheep Noun

TRAINING OF

SOVIET TASK

Moscow, Jan. 13.-Preparation Of

inter- the <Grcna of life, so that the
soviet government may draw from
among them rot only Bolshevist
teachers but also BOlshevist ensi-
'neefs is the urgent tasl; of the day
in RuTs.a, asserted Commissar Of
E1u cation Lunacharsky recently in
an address to the fourth All Rus
sian conference of educational work
ers in Moscow. The commissar, who
discussed the trials of eduCation
in this country today. dwelt upon the
improved outlook for the future,
and declared that the retreat on
the educational front should be con-
sidered as ended.
I'VE must count on the students
OF today-the Bolshevist builders of
life--to supplant those who were ex-
hausted- and worn out in the Cars
dungeons and by the storms of re-
cent years." he said. We have now
splendid student body which has
been recruited from the ranks of the
workers and peasants. The work
ing class and the peasantry should
create their own intellectuals. The
new students are superior to the old
students of other days.
mo matter how deficient may be
the theoretical preparation Of our
present students, it should be re-
membered that in the pre-revolution
period the classical colleges present
ed to the universities an extremely
undesirable element of youth, as
was attested by the statements Of the
old professors. We have admitted in
to the university here 10000 new
young men who are, sympathetic to-
ward us and who represent creative
force, capable in the near future, of
cooperating with US in our work.
This will be real mass power of a
high intellectual and moral order, al
lied with the working masses by the
closest ties of common descent. They
will be the standard bearers of the
new Russia"

actual performances. Sixty.six pre-

9 and September &c, each of which
took four hours IN the morning and
four in the afternoon. In addition
there were seven months of rehear-
sails. AS is commonly known, men
who are candidates for the chief
roles begin preparat dhs years in ad-

and makeup are not allowed. Villa

indeed from childhood, that good

chosen for the much coveted honor
of participating.
The complete cast this year in
cluded approximately 1000 persons,
all of whom, as usual, were Oberra-
mergauers. OF this number 124 were
soloists or had speaking parts. A
large number of women and CHI :ldren
were used especially in the ''mob"
scenes. Anton Lang, who portrayed
the part of Christ for the third time,
is reported to have waived his right
to higher share of the receipts in
order that the average compensation
for the participants might be in
creased.

Light and beauty on clouds like

The stars were twinkling brightly in

Like little candles burning high.
The shadows here and there in the
night,
With moon light falling In pools of

Suddenly noise like waters in a
pebbly stream,
And straight the spirits that inhabit

Started their daily midnight jubilee
Joining in, the little. fairies full OF
glee
Came tripping lightly, merrily,
And danced around the huge cotton
wood tree. /
The pale moonlight beams came shin
ing through,
The stately old trees that grew,
Along side lonely little brook-N
That trickles its way thru the daisied
nook.
Such beauty, such love, such dreams
On a beautiful night when moon
