NEW PRISON PAPER GIVES
GOOD ADVICE TO PRISONERS

The Arizona Beacon, published
sen-monthly by the prisoners Of the
Arizona state prison, edited by S. L..
Ely, at one time employed on the Hol-
brook News before it's consolidation
with the Tribune, has been received
by The Sun. In an editorial by Ed
itor Ely, under the caption of "Ad-
vice to Fish," he gives the following
good advice to fellow members in
forced isolation:
"You are entering upon period
of existence which calls for all your
manly qualities. In the first place it
is well for you to remember that the
officers and guards of the prison are
not responsible for your incarcera-
ton. They are here to act as your
guardians during the time of your
sentence. They will extend to you
every possible aid for your physical
and mental betterment within the linn
itations of their respective offices.
and it is up to you solely just how
you may profit by the unhappy con-
dition II which you are now placed.
As much of your acquired bitterness
as possible should be left at the gate.
Burn your bridges and prepare for a
new life. Try and you'll be surprised
how much friendly aid will come your
way unbidden The world loves a
successful fighter; it hates a failure
and gutter Remember that every
nan worth while has it within him
to rise above disappointments, trou-
bled and initial failure. Be manW

SPARE THE BUZZARDS AND
PREVENT LOSSES TO STATE
SAYS TUCSON BIOLOGIST

The declaration of war by State
Game Warden G. NJ. Willard against
buzzards and all other fowls that
wing their way from California to
Arizona and back again, is without
provocation, according to DR.. Walter
2. Taylor, field biologist of the fed
eral biological survey, who has just
returned to this state from the pes
tilential foot and mouth disease CEN
ter of the Pacific coast. The game
warden asserted that the feathered
creatures were carriers of the dis
ease.
"We cannot find proof that wild
birds spread the disease, and, in our
opinion, the indiscriminate killing
of buzzards would be very foolish
thing to do; they are fowls that aid
sanitation. Instead of gaining benefit
by Staying vultures, the shooting of
them in considerable numbers would
bring loss to the state. We do not
advise compliance with the game
warden's suggestions"
The statement by Dr. Taylor was
mailed from Tucson, to which place
he returned from California.

TAKES FOUR STATES TO
HOLD THIS RANCHMAN

That there is one man in the United
States who lives in four states at
the same time, northeast of Holbrook,
is the bold statement made by the
daily bulletin of the district forest of
flee. This particular man is a ranch
man whose house and lands cover the
corners of the four states of Arizona,
Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. The
windmill which pumps water for his
stock is in New Mexico and pumps
water into trough in Arizona. The
house is exactly in the center spot
when the four corners of the several
states meet. The ranchman sleeps in
Utah, goes over to Colorado to wash
for his breakfast, eats his morning
repast in Arizona, then sits on his
porch in New Mexico for smoke

ACCOUNTING Stafford
BANK OPERATION CHARGED

Report of George w. Brown, ex-
pert on the books of the Arizona
Trust and Savings bank of Stafford,
which closed last December, tersely
concludes:
"The affairs of the bank Indicate
very poor management, improper
and, in many cases, false accounting
and disregard of reporting true
statements on conditions of affairs. ;"
For three years the bank was found
to have been operated at a loss, with
purported profits at times credited to
earnings in order to show sufficient
income to care for operating expenses,
while, in fact, such purported profits
should never have been taken into ac-
count.
Loss for the years 1921 -23 is esti-
mated at $18,307.

BUSINESS IN STATE
SHOWS LITTLE INCREASE

Business showed little if any in
| creased activity during March, with
the usual gains and recessions in diff.
ferent communities and branches
Some complaints continue to be heard
from retailers, but for the most part
they come from lines which might
properly be considered over-crowded
and on the whole the general situa-
ton compares well with last year.
Things are rather quiet in agricul-
ture, but beneath the surface there is
important activity centering in prep
.arations for the years production
Cotton planting is under way, and
most of it will be finished in April.
No later reports on prospective acre
age are available further than indi-
cations of a 40 to so per cent increase
over last season.
Precipitation over most Of the state
has brought welcome improvement in
range conditions. Both cattle and
sheep are In good condition. Sheep
men have indications of another good
year, but cattlemen are not out of the
woods, although probably more hope
ful.
The price of copper receded slight
~ during the month, and the mining
situation apparently is not due for
any immediate material change The
new smelter of the Magma at Super
lor is now operating.
Banking transactions in larger cit
les of the state as reported to the
Arizona Industrial Congress show
little change in totals from February
and slightly exceed those of March,
1923.
Livestock Industry Encouraging
4he most encouraging recent de-
velopment in the livestock industry
was the general precipitation during
March which replenished water sup
plies and assured spring feed Rain
was general over the state, including
the northwestern part which was per-
haps most in need. Cattle are in good
condition, with a favorable outlook
for a good calf crop.
Fat cattle prices were steady dur
ing the month, closing at 8 to 81
cents a pound. No large number of
contracts for range cattle have been
reported, but midwest buyers have
appeared in the southern counties
contracting steers for May and June
delivery at 5 cents t. 0. b. shipping
point. On account of the good sea
son, fat range steers, dry cows and
calves have been selling to coast
butchers. 1t is estimated that 80,00O
head of cattle will be available for
spring delivery to- points outside the
state.~ About 10000 moved last
spring.
Renewed outbreaks of the foot and
mouth disease in California have
brought greater realization of the
dangers of the epidemic, and the dras-
tic quarantine in effect is meeting
with general approval.
Both sheep and sheep ranges are
in good condition. About 10000
lambs have. already been shipped, at
prices averaging $500 to 5000 head
Shipments to June / probably will
reach $4,000 head. The wool market
is firm, with prospects for good
year.

A posse is searching the country

lied to create an indebtedness in be-
half of the town and upon the credit
thereof by issuing the bonds Of the

Of the water survey of Burns and Nc
Donnell Of September 10th, 1923, as
follows: Enlarging the capacity of the
present dam, which is owned by the
municipality, by raising same at least
ten feet, giving a capacity of about
36,000,000 gallons. A concrete core
wall to be constructed through the
center of the present dam to cut Aff
the present leakage tand insure the
safety Of a larger dam. The water
edge of the reservoir to be cut down
in the steep slopes to insure deeper
water and prevent growths, the ex-
cavated material from these to be
used in the earth fill in the dam.
Also to provide an intake whereby
water may be drawn from at least
three different depths, so that the
best water may be used during various
seasons. An aeFating device is also
planned to be installed on the main
supply line, this will aid in removing
gasses causing some of the odors and
tastes and furnish additional oxygen
to the water to remove finely divided
organic matter. A bypass is also
planned so this aerator may be cut
out when the water is in fresh con-
dition, free from tastes and odors. All
the present wood pipe in the main
supply line to the distribution system,
will be steel pipe, also all dead ends
will be replaced with new steel pipe.

supply sufficient for population of
$500 inhabitants, all of which is for
the purpose of supplying said town
with water, the works for supplying
