who was in Phoenix, wrote that he
was willing to do whatever the other
commissioners thought best, and his
vote was cast in the affirmative by
the others. Members f. O. Poison of
Williams cast the only negative vote,
explaining, however, that he is not
opposed to the spending Of the money
on the project east Of here. But he
apparently was not quite satisfied as
to the legal status of the matter.
r. w. Samuel, secretary of the
board Of directors Of state institu-
tions, who has charge Of the expendi-
ture of the state highway money, was
at the meeting and expressed great
satisfaction over the action taken by
the county highway commissioners.
He said that the work on the road
will be started just as soon as bids
can. be called for and accepted and
should be finished this year.
This will mean fine road all the
way across the state. The west sec
ton Of the Flagstaff Winslow road,
which is being built under the direc-
ton of the L. S. bureau of public
roads, with forest service funds, was

to be done this spring and
summer.
Mr.. Samuel told the county super
visors that the state will give $4,000
to the work to be done this summer
on the Flagstaff -Winslow road.
The road between this city and
Winslow will follow the new survey
made by the u. S. bureau Of public
roads. It will keep on or near the
present route from Canyon Padre
across Canyon Diablo to Sunshine,
then will cross under the railroad to
the north side and on into Winslow.
It will be six to 10 miles shorter than
the present Coon mountain route and
on higher ground, entirely avoiding
the troublesome Tucker Flat country.

BOND MONEY DIVERTED
TO HIGHWAY EASTWARD
Continued from Page One)

600 was left from Old Trails work.
It was part of an appropriation voted
for the Flagstaff Canyon Padre road,
but the balance of the appropriation
was diverted by the highway commits
sione1's TO finish the Flagstaff Will
liams project, which cost more than
had been estimated.
There had been some doubt about
the diversion of this $5S,0C0 First it
was believed a special election would
have to be called to let the taxpayers
vote the money to the Flagstaff
Winslow road. Then State Attorney
General Murphy announced that there
is no provision in the law for calling
such special election. So last week
Billy Rittenhouse, chairman of the
county board of supervisors, and
Frank Harrison, county attorney, went
to Phoenix with transcript of all of
the matters relating to the bond cleo
tlOn of four years ago, including the
call for election, ETC., and after the
attorney general had digested these,
he declared the money never had been
specifically voted for the projects
above named, but that the election
had placed the funds entirely at the
disposal of the county highway COM
missioners, to be spent in matching
federal aid in any place in the county
where the commissioners saw fit to
spend it. Thus, Mr.. Murphy ruled,
the commissioners had right to di-
vert the money to the Flagstaff Wins
low federal aid project whenever they
chose to do SO.
At the meeting of the county high
way commissioners on Monday at
which all the county supervisors were
also present, Chairman M. |. Powers
and Members 7. A. Riordan and Wal
ter w. Durham, all of Flagstaff, vot-
ed for the diversion of the money.

were worked out by Miss Alta Smith.
The color scheme of yellow and
white transformed the already lovely
reception rooms into a veritable para
disc. The dainty refreshments of
yellow and white ice blended effective
ly with this arrangement.
Little Mary Louise Riekel, dressed
as Cupid, was much admired. She
descended from the heavens and pre-
sented a large bouquet of sweet peas
to the guest of honor, thus an
nouncing, the approach of the Love
Gods chariot which bore the gifts.
M Gifts were many and appropriate,
showing that the attractive bride-eleet
has large host of adnliring friends.
Among the gifts were fine linens, rare
chinas and useful kitchen utensils. To
each was attached a card on which
was written some fitting thought in
verse which Miss McMullen read aloud
To the mirth and entertainment of the
guests. The gift which gave the par
ty the most fun at Miss McMullen's
expense was the one sent by the
boys hall.
While the gifts were being received
who should walk in but the prospec-
tive brides father, Mr.. McMuilen,
with this uilwieIdly-looking bundle
from Taylor hall, labeled "Katie's
hope chest. I" Upon examination the
bundle was. found to contain a broom,
a dustpan and (it's cruel to say it but
1t was there), rolling pin!
s Formal announcement of the be-
tEothal was made by an illustrated
card placed on the plate Of each guest
when refreshments were served. The
wedding will probably take place June

McMullen's own silver wedding anni-
versary and Lucretia'ss 17th. birth

Miss Arliss Miller played several vio-
I'm selections accompanied by Miss

sang aeveral songs.
The guests dispersed expressing
desire for future happiness
of the bride-to-be.

zona, it is believed the total will come
/ up to estimates of somewhat over
$4,000 bales. Ginning is completed
and April will see the bulk Of the new
seasons acreage planted.
Spring lettuce will be shipped in
April, production estimates varying
from $50 to $50 cars. Several Arizona
truck crops are now coming to mar
ket.
Wheat acreage probably will be de-
creased this season, and the same will
be true ofgrain sorghHns, except in
dry farming districts. Hay most like
ly will be about the same, with any
Increase due to barley rather than
alfalfa. Ts
Demand for farm land is reported
more brisk in several parts of the
state, owing largely to the successful
cotton season, and land values show
some advance over last year.
Livestock Conditions
February proved another rainless
month for the ranges Of the state.
with the exception Of irregular light
snowfall In the higher elevations. The
heavy precipitation of the early win
tSf over uGS6fL dHu mountain ranges
has in many of the lower elevations
ebout become exhausted, but on the
whole cattle ranges held up very well
both as to feed and water. AS a re-
suit cattle entered March in fair to
good condition, with the future depen-
dent on what the month brings. Good
showers will assure an abundance of
water for stock, though grass may not
be entirely revived.
A few early spring buyers from
northern and central western states
began inquiries in Arizona for avail
able stocker and feeder cattle during
the latter days of the month, but no
actual contracts are known to have
been made. Activity on the part of
northern buyers is expected to be well
advanced during March.
Beef prices continued strong
throughout February with good Salt
River valley fed steers reaching S8.35

shipment. Both local and coast buy
ers were active during the month, and

BUSINESS SITUATION IN
STATE Is HOLDING UP

Business held up fairly we'll in Feb
ruary, with some unusual seasonal
dullness which varied according to
localities and lines. In some quar-
ters wholesale and retail trade was
declared somewhat better than year
ago, but in others no Improvement
was reported.
Agriculture is going into a new sea-
son, with prospects on the whole fay
orable, but with much depending on
the cotton market during the next
year, as the states cotton acreage is
expected to show an increase of
around 40 per cent.
Both cattle and sheep have emerged
from the winter in good shape, ranges
having held up well, thanks to heavy
fall precipitation, but spring rains are
needed over most of the states graz
ing area. Beef prices continued
strong during the month. Spring
shearing of sheep is well under way.
The mining industry shows no ma
terial change. The prices of copper
advanced a little, but several of the
c0untrys producers are reported to
have made slight curtailments in pro-
duction. Silver producers are still
waiting for improvement in price.
Banking transactions reported to
the Arizona Industrial Congress fell
below January, as is usual, but gem
orally exceeded those for the same
month of 1928
Cotton still holds the center of the
stage in agricultural interest, with at
tention turning to farmers intention
to plant during the coming Se1 son Il
Present indications are that the
states acreage will show an increase
of 40 and possibly so per cent over
last year, when the total was around
127,O00. The increase will be mostly
in the short staple varieties, and in
Maricopa county, which will have
about three-fourths of the total acre
age.

years crop are not available, but |
