that room be reserved in the fresh

Replying to Mr.. Bruce, President
Lowell wrote:
'I am sorry to have to tell you that
in the freshman halls, where resi-
dence is compulsory. we have felt
from the beginning the necessity of
not including colored men. To the
other dormitories and dining-rooms
they are admitted freely, but In the
freshman halls, am sure you will
understand why, from the beginning
we have not thought It possible to
compel men Of different races to re-
side together"

SHEEP AND LAMB SUPPLY Is
LARGER THIS YEAR THAN LAST

Supplies of sheep and lambs avail
able for market in July and August
will be somewhat larger this year,
than last, according to an estimate
issued by the department Of aglicul-
ture. Market and field conditions be-
tween now and the end of July will
largely determine whether this in
creased supply a-ill move to market
duling the two months named. Mar
l5eting during this period in 1922 was
the smallest fm any corresponding
time since 1917, the decrease from
1920 amounting TO more than 6oo,o9e
head.
The situation in Arizona on June
l was poor Weather and feed condi-
tions during lambing were favorable
and a good percentage of lambs were
dropped but needed rains failed and
the desert range dried up. The loss
of lambs before marketing was large
and the condition of those reaching
the northern range is such that the
number of fat lambs for early market
ing will be small.
There is great dearth in contract
buying of lambs in the west this year
as compared with last, and lamb feed
crs seem to have adopted waiting
policy. Some contracts have beer
made at ten cents pound but therf
is no rush to buy at this price.

SOUTH PROTESTS CHANGE
PRESENT ROAD SYSTEM

The Tombstone Commercial club
has joined the Tucson chamber of COM
merce and the Nogales chamber of
commerce in protesting the change in
the. seven per cent system of state
highways as proposed by the Phoenix
chamber of commerce. The following
letter was sent to Frank r. Goodman,
state highway engineer:
"The Tombstone commercial club
desires to enter protest against any
action being taken to include the
Springerville- Rice road as suggested
by the Phoenix chamber of commerce
being placed on the per cent high
way system, and we suggest that
should this road be built and we are
not opposed to it, but feel that funds
for the purpose should be supplied by
the Indian department for construc-
tion over such ground as lies within
and on the Indian reservation.
'As VIC understand it, every mile of
the seven per cent system is designat-
ed now and we further object to the
proposition of the Phoenix chamber
Of commerce because they do not state
what mileage they propose to elimin-
ate from the present 2 per cent sys-
ten" Tombstone Prospector.
