JOHN IVENS POST, GRAND
CANYON PLANS BIG TIME

John Ivens Post, American Legion,
at Grand Canyon, is all set for its
celebration of Washington's birthday,
Friday, February %.
This will be done by having a hard
times leap year dance. There have
been hard times dances and leap year
dances held at Grand Canyon, but
never a combination of the two.
AT a joint meeting of the entertain
ment committees of the post and the
ladies' auxiliary, it was decided that
the rules and regulations for the
dance would be as follows:
Admission to the men will be free,
the girls will obtain their admission
to the recreation hall only by paying
the sum of one lunch. Each lunch
box is to have the name of the glrl
donating it inside the box, and then
the box is to be given q number. Each
man, as he enters the hall, will also
be given a number, and it will be up
to him, when the lunch boxes are
opened, and before he will be COM
pelled to purchase one, to find the
young lady holding the same number
as himself. They will then be part
ners for for the rest of the evening.
1t is also the intention of the joint
committees, in view of the fact that
it is a leap year dance, to have the
young ladies call for the men, take
them to the dance and then have the
ladies do the asking for dances, Civ
ing the young men chance to turn
them down. Turn about is fair play.
Everyone is expected to attend IN
hard times costume. Those who do
not will be fined by Judge Gilliland,
commander of the post. And it might
be stated, anyone '1eaping" will have
chance to get married. Judge Gill
liland is willing to officiate at all
times.
Four cab prizes will be awarded for
the most appropriate hard times cos
tunes.
Music will be by the Grand Canyon
Cliff Dwellers, VIII ohave been engag-
ed by the management at Ell Tovar, in
order that the "CliffiesD brand OF
music may be furnished with the
meals.
John. Ivens Post extends a cordial
invitation to all comrades in Flagstaff
and Williams, and to all auxiliary
members and their friends to ccnae up
and join in celebrating the birthday
of the father of our country.

PHOENIX DEPUTIES BATTLE.
.ASSAILANTS ARMED WITH
.SHOTCUNS ON DRY RAID.

The unexpected return of four al
legged moonshiners, all heavily armed,
to house at the corner of Eighteenth
avenue and Magnolia street, Phoenix,
during raid conducted by Deputies
Sheriff Charles Head, Ben Warren
and E. H. Palmer precipitated a
pitched battle at $3.50 o'clock Tuesday
night in which the raiders were raid
ed, five shots were exchanged and
the alleged whiskey makers escaped.
No one was injured, SO far as is
known.
Acting on information furnished by
Night Jailer John Whitton, the three
deputies descended on the residence,
situated northwest of Phoenix, near
Six Points, and found it unoccupied.
A search of the premises, however,
revealed $50 gallons Of mash, ready
to run. a large still made of copper
and tin and about one quart of fin
ished product.
While the officers were engaged in
their search four men appeared at
the door Of the house, armed, the dep
uties stated, with shotguns. Two shsts
were fired by the newcomers. The
officers returned the fire with fus-
illade of three shots, at which the
quartet ran from the porch of the
house and escaped in a car. The Of
ficers gave chase but We're opt-dis-
tanced.
The still and whisl1ey were brought
to Sheriff Sullivan's office and a
countrywide search has been institut-
ed for the raiders" who interrupted
the raid.

, ADRUM-HEAD TRIAL?
= 4#%+@*%4@++*~+++,

The Citizen believes that the pub
lie is entitled to the full facts of the
remarkable ''trial"-so lauded by
democratic papers of the state-in
which Governor Hunt returned ver-
dict by which the United Verde Ex-
tension Mining company, or James S.
Douglas, agreed to drop his suit ap-
pea1inE to the federal court from the
state tax commissions assessment of
his properoy, and to pay the taxes
due by him.
In the first place, the public would
no doubt like to know whether or
not there was any abridgement - by
the Hunt decree of the right TO
appeal from the assessed valuations
of the state tax commission. 1t will
be recalled that the governor threat
ened the mining industry with spec
ial session of the legislature, to adopt
Legislation aimed at the mining COM
panies if they persisted in asking the
federal courts for relief = despite the
fact that, presumably, they had le-
gal right to appeal.
A democratic commentator pre-
sumes that both made concessions"
and that there was arrived at a fu-
ture policy regarding mine taxation.
What right has the governor to
make such a policy, in the face of the
fact that we have mine tax law and
tax commission empowered to en-
force it?
The fact that the democratic press
Of the state has lauded this trial
without jury, bailiff or water pitch
err as a great accomplishment of the
democratic governor, has called gen.
eral attention to it, but SO far as
we know there has been ne complete
statement of what occurred there.
Why this political pacan? Was it a
political trial 2"
There is in Arizona every facility
for trials with judges, juries, bailiffs
and water pitchers-and court rooms
with open doors.
The public is entitled to know the
full details Of any accommodations
arrived at between Mr.. Hunt and Mr..
Douglas, on a public matter. Mr..
Douglas may feel that the accommo-
dation was advantageous to himself
more advantageous, in the long run,
than might have been had he ignored
the threat of political reprisals, but
that is not the point; the material
thing to know is whether or not he
withdrew his court appeal under pol
itical duress, in order words, whether
he made political surrender, or a
political treaty, with Mr.. Hunt to
escape reprisals.-Tucson Citizen.

PLAN TO FORM LARGE
CATTLE ASSOCIATION IN
FIVE STATES ENDORSED

Vast changes in the functioning of
the cattle industry in Arizona were
predicted by Henry c.. Boice, presi-
dent of the Arizona Cattle Growers
association, at it's official opening
Tuesday morning at Douglas. No
longer will the markets of the north
and east be the source of revenue to
breeders in this state but the entire
market, the place where will be found
the profit of one of the most impor-
tant industries in Arizona, must lie to
the west, according to Mr.. Boiee. All
this has been made essential through
the high freight rates, the cheaper
facilities of the central markets for
the Chicago and Kansas City buyers
and their deflated status of the past
few wears, and the inability of the
corn belt dealers to profit after the
expense incurred by buying Arizona
cattle.
The address of welcome was deliv-
cred by Judge Fletcher Doane of
Douglas and responded to by j. M.
Ronstaft of Tucson.
Appointment of the various conven-
tion committees got well under way
at the morning session. The annual
meeting of the women's auxiliary to
the cattle growers association was
called into session at 1890.
Judge G. w. Shute of Phoenix talk
ed on Suggestions for beneficial
changes in our livestock laws" and
! dwelt mainly on the state sanitary
board.
James S, Douglas of Douglas spoke
on the "Baneful influence of over
valuation of all classes of taxable
property"
Secretary H. M. Rice said the asso-
citation owed $4,000 and needed $12,-
600 to pay off debts and to operate
another year. Delegates raised So
900 in a few minutes.
"Orderly marketing, essential to the
life of cattle industries, is assured by
means of a colossal association to in
clude cattle interests in Arizona, Cal
ifornia, Utah, Nevada and southern
Oregon, whereby districts are formed
in these states to be supervised per-
sonally by representatives of the as
sociation for the purpose of stabiliZ-
| ing market demand and the conse-
quent prices" r. M. Hagen, secretary
of the California Cattle Growers as
sociation declared Wednesday morning
before the convention.
'The purpose plan has been approx
ed in California by the cattlemen, the
federal reserve bank and other banks,
the packers and by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace, who sent out mar
keting expert in arranging the plans.
"The present condition of the live
stock industry makes it necessary
that definite action be taken imme-
diately by the producers themselves.
in order to avoid a continuance OF
our present unstable and unsatisfac-
| tory market" the speaker added.

BIG 1924 GAS REVENUE
EXPECTED BY ARIZONA

The gasoline tax is material item
in Arizona's state incone. Last year
it amount to $422,693. A jump from
/ to 3 cents a gallon came June 3,
so the figures do not show the real
situation. For the half year the state
income from gasoline was $319,840-
There is expectation of 100000 in
1924. Half the money goes back to
the county where collected. Three
fourths of the balance also is credited
the county on the state road work
done on its roads and the balance goes
to the state road fund.
The tax is collected from the main
distributing agencies. Some of these
have failed to pay for a period in
which the added 2 cent tax was in
doubt. and in which they failed to
collect from the consumers. Suits
against these wholesalers have been
instituted by the attorney general.

CHILD WELFARE DAY AT
GRAND CANYON FEB. 8

The Grand Canyon PIT. A. expects
to give birthday party on February
8 in celebration of Founders, or Child
Welfare day. This is to be at the
Grand Canyon school house and is
public. A splendid program has been
arranged and refreshments will be
served. In fact it's going to be a
real birthday party. So everybody
come.
Child Welfsre day celebrates the
founding of the National Congress of
Mothers February II, 1897, by Mrs.
Theodore W. Birney. Later this was
incorporated as the National Congress
of Mothers and Parent Teacher aSso-
citation, and financed by Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst. Since then the association
has grown until now it is an exception
to find a community in any state
without its PIT. A. The motto,
"Child Welfare in Home, Church,
and State" is a slogan that has done
much for the child in many conmnun-
tiles both large and small.
At the time of organization a
Washington paper commented as fol-
lows: "The National Congress of
Mothers is not a congress to make
laws, negotiate treaties, improve it
self or to debate political questions,
but is a congress organized to dis
cuss questions of more vital interest
to the nation than any measure the
United States congress has before it
the welfare Of children and the
manifold interests of the homep

FINE WEATHER OVER
ARIZONA FOR LANDING

Weather conditions have been near
ly ideal throughout the past month
for lambing, according to sheep men,
The Iarnbing season is now well under
way and the fine weather which has
predominated for the entire month OF
January has reduced losses to a min
imuln.
Range conditions are also good over
the winter grazing district and sheep
men are optimistic regarding the in
dustry for the coming year. Many od
the sheepmen declare that the desert
ranges are better this year than they
have been FOR many years.
There are few sheep on feed in the
Salt river valley and not more thar
5000 head on feed in the Yuma val
ley. Market conditions have beer
good throughout the past year fol
wool and mutton sheep and have helc
up we'll so far this year.

January %, 1924.

January 20, 1SA4.
Trade in cattle showed an active
turn with prices quoted strong in the
average, exceptions slightly higher.
The strength showed in all classes but
was most pronounced in good steers
and butcher grades. Chicago quoted
lower hog prices and declines there
weakened the market here, but no MAJ
terial setback was reported. Lambs
were 15 to 20 cents higher, best
grades selling up to $13.45.
Beef Cattle
Trade in fat cattle was active at
strong prices, exceptions slightly high
er. Average quality was plain and
the bulk of the offerings were short
fed steers that another thirty days
feed would have improved materially.
Everything with any showing OF quail
ity or meat found a ready outlet, but
it was not until these had been sold
that trade centered in the palmer
classes. Most of the steers brought
$3.50 to $S.75, few at 5000 to $9.5C.
Cows and heifers were in active de-
mand, and heifers were quoted up 10
to Is cents. Veal calves and bulls
were steady.
StOckers and Feeders
Only moderate supplies of stoclkers
and feeders were available and prices
ruled strong, except in some of the
common kinds and they were barely
steady. It is only short time now
until the demand for thin cattle for
summer grazing will be in evidence.
Sheep and Lambs
Lambs were Is to 25 cents higher.
Several loads Of prime western lambs
brought $13.45. ten loads sold at
$13.40 and other good lambs brought
$500 to 1885. Sheep We're scarce,
Ewes brought SITS to $500.
Horses and Mules
Trade in horses and mules remain
ed active at steady prices. Southern
states remained the principal buyers.

JACK WILLIAMS TRIED ICE
WATER FOR RHEUMATISM

Jack Williams, a lunrbefiack from
the pine-clad hills about Flagstaff and
Williams, came down here a few days
ago wearing a pair of crutches. When
questioned as to what his trouble was,
he stated that many years ago he had
iammed his knee and that from time
to time it bothered him, getting worse
each time, until the past several weeks
he had to use crutches. The pain be-
came so great that he was compelled
to do something drastic and instead
of seeking physician he went down
to the Verde river last Wednesday
about sundown and held the afflicted
member in the icy water of the Verde
for about two hours. He said he had
seen people adopt that practice In the
Rio Grarlde many years ago for rl1eu-
matism. BY the time he got ready to
go back to town it was around 8
O'clock and when he tried to get up
it was with difficulty that he could.
He found that his whole left side was
partly paraiyzed and that he had
practically no use of his left arm. 1t
took him nearly four hours to get
back to where he could get help. Jose
Acuna found him just as he fell IN
the street near his place of business
about midnight. Acuna summoned as
sistallce and the man was taken to a
comfortable room at the Cottonwood
hotel, where he spent the night. Dep
uty Sheriff Dickinson was summoned
yesterday forenoon and came down
to look after him. Williams has re-
sided in Coconino and Yavapai coun-
ties for many years and is justly en-
titled to whatever such unfortunates
are given in either county. He was
found to have but $1.35 on his person
and to be in a very bad condition.
Sheriff Dickinson made arrangements
with his chief, George Ruffner, to
have Williams removed to the county
hospital at Prescott. - Cottonwood

NAVAJO COUNTY WANTS
REHEARING IN DISPUTE
OVER BOUNDARY LINE


Petition for the rehearing Of the
matter Of the boundary dispute be-
tween Navajo and Apache counties has
been filed in the Arizona supreme
court by Navajo county. The petition
asks that the judgment of dismissal
of the action in favor of Apache coEn-
ty be vacated and that rehearing be
granted and judgment issued in favor
of Navajo county.
The petition sets forth three rea-
sons for a rehearing, one setting forth
that the legislature in It's act intend
ed that the range line should be adj
hered to as the boundary between the
two counties, another that the court
erred in comparing the dispute with
the Yuma Maricopa county line dis
pute in that the latter involved a me-
ridian which is fixed line, and last,
that the court erred in holding that
there Was no dispute between the two
counties.
The case was filed directly in the
supreme court by Navajo county and
an opinion was handed down in the
case recently. Navajo county con-
tended in its complaint that Apache
county was in possession of strip OF
land 1904 feet wide and several miles
line, which rightfully belonged to
Navajo county.
The strip involved the sawmiil town
of Cooley and its sawmills, which had
heretofore been assessed by Apache
county for taxation, the property Of
the town being valued at well about
81 100000. Since the beginning Of the
town Apache county has collected the
taxes.
