detailed report of the recent eXam-
ination of Branch pond water, from
which Ellsworth receives it's public
supply Briefly stated, the report in
dicates that pollution is entering
Branch pond stream between the
pond and the pumping station,
Health officer Woodruff has already
yaken steps to trace this pollution to
its source.

three streams entering Branch pond
are polluted, and while the large area
of the lake and the action OF llght
and air have a purifying effect on the

the water company, follows:
On November IA, | visited Ellis

Everett, your superintendent, and
after. with DR.. H. L. d. Woodruff
health officer, we decided upon loca-
lions for collecting samples of water
to determine if there was any pollu-
ton and, if so, the source of the
same.
The approximate location of the
sample points are indicated by num-
Der on the annexed map.
The stream at the location 2 was
dry, hence it was impossible to col
lect sample at this point.
The result of the examinations of
these samples follows (See table

These results show that the color
of the water in some of the streams
entering Branch lake, at the
time of this investigation. was from
1893 per cent. to 9S33 per cent,

CAN THIS BE TRUE

About 500 democrats scattered throughout the
state of Arizona voted for Dwight B. Heard for
governor, because they were tired of Hunt. That
would have turned the tide if republicans had
stood true, but about 1900 Of the Cameron and
Maddox forces refused to vote for Mr.. Heard.
The result election Of Hunt for fifth term
oy narrow margin.
Registration showed 81 900 republican and 64,-
900 democrats and this was practically correct.
0ne more victory of this nature would wipe out
5he democratic majority completely. Heard won
/ great victory although he lost the office.
Of course those on the state payroll consider it
d wonderful victory even though Davis was sac
rificed to pay an empty compliment to LaFol-
lette.
Our vote cast for the democratic ticket and
he Messenger did good work for Davis, but we
cannot applaud the puny efforts of General
Greenway and his retinue who appeared on the
scene after the battle was lost.
The policy of Governor Hunt relative to the
Colorado compact was rejected along with the
demand for 100000 with which to endow the

ret together and do something, the governmnt at

a CONFUSING QUESTION

A farmer had dispute with his
son, and for long time they quarrel
ed daily. At last, wishing to settle
matters one way or the other, the
farmer issued a summons against the
young man.
"Your name is Hezekiah Perkins is
it not 2" inquired the opposing coun-
sci when the case came to trial.
at is" replied the farmer in dig
nified tones.
"You have brought this action
against your son 2"
81 have, sir"
"And do | understand you to say
that you have ignored your son fo1
the past month ?"
"What?" asked the old man, some
what puzzled.

ooh, no. said the old man, shaking
his head. "I have had nothing what
ever to do with him."

STRIKING A BALANCE

A certain canny Scotsman had car
ried on a courtship of long duration
without definitely committing himself.
The girl, if she worried herself at the
long probation, gave no sign until one
morning her tardy lover, thumbing a
mall notebook, said: maggie, | hae
been weighing up your guild points and
I hae already got ten. When | get a
dozen I'm going tae ask ye the fatal
question"
"Weel, l wish We luck, jock" an
swered the maiden. "I hae also got

doom your bad points. There are nine-

HER UNLUCKY DAY

Brown was hurrying home from
business when he met his friend
Smithers, also homeward bound, car
rying a large bouquet.
Anything special eh?' asked
Brown, eyeing the flowers.
"No," was the answer, "only taking
the wife home a few flowers; she
likes little surprise sometimes.
Doesn't yours ?"
"Can't say I've tried her"
"Well," advised Smithers, 'take my
tip and you'll find that she'll be ever
so pleased
On arriving home the next evening
Brown presented his wife with large
bunch of the choicest blooms pro-
durable. Instead Of being pleased,
the wife promptly burst into tears,
exclaiming between her sobs:
ooh, dear! Oh, dear! This has
been an unlucky day! Cooks given
notice, the cistern's burst, I've cut
my finger badly and now-now you've
come home drunk"

STATE AND COUNTY LOSE

At the recent election measure for the pro-
posed sale of the Bright Angel trail was defeated
by the people of Coconino county, Williams voting
almost solidly against the measure because the
road to the canyon would go out from Maine, and
not from Williams. This was a wrong view of the
matter. but it cannot be helped sCoconino county
loses heavily by not keeping faith with the gov
ernment. improvements of the roads in and
around the Grand Canyon is essentialsto the well
fare of-the north part of the state, and not only
is Coconno the big loser by failing to become pro-
gressive but every part of the state has been in

WATER IS CITY's MOST URGENT NEED

The past dry season. we hope, has demonstrated
without the necessity Of argument that the city
council is wise in humying along new reservoir
and better equipment for serving the people of
Flagstaff If we.get through this winter without
disaster or hardships it will be sheer good luck.
The city council has not been to blame either for
the drought or the delay. The council members
have been willing to go the limit of good financial
sense in securing development of greater supply
IF water. Just what the total cost of the addi-
tonal water'development will be is not of so much
Importance as certainty that it can be paid for
without putting a burden upon the people That
has been the attitude Of the city council in all
their plans for development of the water system.
A good water supply is one of the first requisites
for the building Of live city.

The simple semi-circular type of
variable condenser is giving way to
a semi-elliptic form that is said to be
more accurate in tuning. Engineers
concerned with this part of radio
manufacture have tested all sorts of
designs and are even now trying to
attain a better form than the latest
innovation.
The difficulty with the simple
semi-circular rotary plate was that
broadcasting wave lengths were
punched too closely to be differen-
/ tiated clearly, so that low wave
/ length stations tina happened to be
ION the air at the same time had to
/ be dispensed with in the radio fans
attempt to listen in.
This brought the radio leaders to
| the laboratory tables, with the re-
suit that they decided on a form of
rotary plate that would divide the
wave lengths equally around the
dial. Low wave lengths, under this
form OF condenser. could just as
equally be tuned in or out as the
higher bands.
Three Designs
Three forms OF rotary plates have
been subject to these experiments.
They are the original semi-circular
plate type. shown as A in the ac-
companying drawing, which tunes
