CUT BIG SWATH IN RODENT
PESTS OF STATE LAST MONTH

About $4,000 gophers were killed by
the members of the state and federal
biological survey during December,
according to a report issued by D. A.
Gilchrist, rodent pest director.
According to the report, more than
5000 Arizona farmers have been bene-
fitted by the efforts of the bureau.
These farmers have signed statements
to the effect that the work has saved
them more than S400,000 year in
fruit trees, crop and range grasses,
which otherwise would have gone to
feed prairie dogs, gophers and other
rodent pests.
Since the local bureau has been
started, the report continues, many
thousands of acres have been rid
of prairie dogs and these lands now
have from 25 to so per cent more
grass upon them and have increased
greatly in value. The spread of prai-
rie dogs to new areas also has been
checked, the report adds.

MILLIONS OF LIVESTOCK
ON NATIONAL FOREST RANGE

Half the sheep and fifth Of the
cattle in western states are grazed
on national forests. This is shown by
annual report of the forest service, is
sued by Chief Forester w. B. Greeley.
Nearly 1900, 900 cattle and 100000
sheep find forage during all or pan
of each year on the national forests
besides $4,000 horses, 1900 swine and
10000 goats. Thirty-seven thousand
grazing permits were issued last year,
according to the report.
National forests in Arizona and
New Mexico accommodate $4,000 cat
tie, 100000 sheep, 1000 horses, 10000
goats and 500 swine under 1000 graz
ing permits, says f. c. w. Pooler, dis
trict forester in charge of the fourteen
national forests of the southwest.
Demand for national forest range in
the southwest as well as elsewhere
now fully equals and in many places
overreaches the capacity of the for
ests, states the district forester. To
provide for increased demand, to i'm
prove and protect existing ranges, and
to secure utilization of new areas, q
large amount of Improvement work
must be undertaken by the govern
ment.
Range improvements already repre-
sent considerable investment of gov
ernment money. To accomplish an
efficient range management, however,
many thousands of dollars are still
needed for improvements of this ma
tuFe. The most urgent, according to
Mr.. Pooler, are boundary fences to
keep off trespass stock and drift
fences to control the distribution of
permitted stock. These will prevent
damage to the range itself by not al
lowing areas to be overgrazed through
congestion of cattle in one locality.
With So per cent of all the sheep
and twenty-five per cent of all the
cattle in the western states making
use of national forest ranges, forest
service reports indicate that safe con-
servative range management by the
government is necessary factor to
stabilize the general livestock indus
try.

PAVED ROAD TO
PRESCOTT FROM
PHOENIX, Plan

The Maricopa county supervisors at
their meeting Saturday adopted a res
olution favoring the construction of 9
paved highway from that city to Min
nehaha Flats and to Prescott, the road
to traverse the route of the Senator
highway.
The supervisors believe the road is
more necessary than any at present
under construction in the state. Only
few trails now exist from the Brad
shaw mountains to the flats. The su-
pervisors believe the proposed road
would open to people of Maricopa one
of the most inviting summer retreats
in the west.
That the work of the 60-mile
stretch may be started as soon as pos
sible, the clerk of the board was in
strueted to petition the governor and
state engineer for a detailed plat of
the proposed road, the most advantag-
eous route and the estimate Of cost.

PAVED HIGHWAYS ARE
NEEDED SAYS FORMER
STATE ENGINEER COBB

The need for paved highways north
and south and east and west is beconl-
ingsrnore apparent in Arizona with the
increase in the number of automobiles
and large amount of tourist travel,
Lamar Cobb, former state engineer,
declared in recent interview. The
north and south pavement should
start at Douglas and continue to the
Grand Canyon, taking in all the towns
en- route with tributary highways, he
said. The east and west highway
should run from Yuma to Globe.
''These highways would cost about
$4,000 per mile, or total of approx
imately S12,000,000," Cobb declared.
"Part of this would be paid out of fed
eral aid funds, and the remainder
could be raised by doubling the IL
cense fees and adding three cents
more tax on gasoline. The present
amount raised from license fees is
about 100000. 1t takes about $40,-
600 of this to collect this money,
counting the cost of the plates, and
if the amount were doubled, there
would be no extra collection expense.
The amount raised by the tax on gaso-
line trebled would be neat sum.
ct would be better to vote bonds
for the S12,0O0,000 road work and pay
the principal and interest with the
money raised through the increased Ii
cense, and gasoline taxes. It is not
satisfactory to attempt to do the work
by pieee-meal, as the added revenue
is paid in, because the highway de-
partment has no fixed plan to work on
and the letting Of small contracts
would make the work more costly"
Arizona taxpayers should not be
aghast at 12 million dollar bond is
sue, Cobb said, pointing out that Illi-
nois has just issued so million bonds
for improvement Of its roads and plans
to vote on & hundred million bond is
sue soon.
Cobb said he hoped that the good
roads convention would take UP the
matter of the paved highways north
and south and east and west this week.

coyotes were among the predatory
animals killed by the hunters of the

his catch by the use of traps, the bull
letin states. The three men who took
the lead in the number of catches
made during the month are G. G.
Cleveland, 0. H. Palmer and Roy
Tharpe. 1t is peculiar, the report con-
tinues, that all three men are new to
the district and are making the old
timers speed up.
The bulletin alse calls the hunters
attention to the policy Of the new
state administration, which is, "Effic-
iency and Economy" The hunters are
urged to remember that they are
working for the livestock and game
conservation interests of the state and
to bend every effort to keep down the
predatory animals.

SENATOR CAMERON
HAS APPOINTMENTS
FOR WEST POINT.

NV Dear Sun: | have at my dis
posal the appointment of two cadets
to the u. S. military academy at West
Point this year. To insure that every
Arizona boy has an equal opportunity
to secure one of these appointments
/ am holding a preliminary competi-
tive examination through the civil SER
vice examination on Saturday, Febru-
airy 8, 1923. The two boys receiving
the highest marks in this examination
will receive. official designation from
meto tage the regular entrance exam
ination which is to be held early in
March under the direction of the war
department, The six boys receiving
the next highest marks will be desig-
mated as alternates to take the exam
ination in March, but in the event the
two boys receiving the highest ratlng
have the required high school stand
ing the regular entrance examination
will be waived. | am making these
appointments absolutely partisan
and care nothing for the political al
filiations Of the applicants, believing
that merit should govern in such I'M
poftant appointments.
| will appreciate 1T very mucn II you
will give the widest publicity to this
examination through the columns OF
your paper, thus cooperating with me
in seeing that every boy in Arizona
has an equal opportunity in this con-
nection. | am, enclosing herewith self
explanatory instructions governing
this examination issued by the civil
service commission which / trust you
will place at the disposal of any BOY
who may call at your office. This .ex-
animation will be held at Phoenix,
Yuma, Prescott, Flagstaff, Globe,
Tucson, Nogales, Bisbee and Clifton.
In my opinion it is needless for any
one to take this examination unless
they shall have completed at the end
of this school year a four-year high
school course, or its equivalent.
Sincerely yours,
RALPH A. CAMERON.

NELSON SAYS BANK AT ST.
JOHNS WILL PAY OUT

The st. Johns Observer editor has
been advised by Fred W. Nelson, pres
ident of the Stockmen's State Bank,
which was closed Saturday morning,
December 80, that the closing was vol
untary and was done to protect depos-
itors, all of whom will be paid in full.
The necessity for taking the step was,
of course, due to the inability of the
bank to collect outstanding loans. As
all are aware, stockmen have been up
against the hardest proposition of
their lives the past few years, and
they simply cannot be rushed"
President Nelson furnished US the
following figures regarding the condi-
ton of the bank, which are approx
mately correct; Resources, 100000;
loans and overdrafts, S141,0 900; cash
bonds, etc., $4,000; deposits, $96,500;
discounts, S25, 500.
Kenneth G. Freeland, deputy state
superintendent of banks, who has been
here all the week, has finished check
ing up the banks affairs and will
shortly be ready to submit his report.
A meeting of the stockholders will
be held soon, according to Mr.. Nelson
and he hopes and believes that means
will be found to reopen the bank.
