Sheriff j. e. Walker of Winslow,
Deputy Sheriff Billy Rudd of Flag
staff, and v. r. Donald, prohibition
agent from Phoenix, to answer to a
charge of manufacturing whiskey at
their home in Winslow, before Tom
L. Rees, u. S. commissioner, who
conducted the hearing.
A raid had netted the officers one
35-gallon still, 140 gallons of mash
and six quarts Of finished product,
all of this being taken in the base
ment of the Reynolds house. All of
those arrested were found in the up
per rooms of the house, but denied
any knowledge of the still. Louis
Reynolds claimed he had bought the
stuff from a Mexican in Winslow.
Commissioner Rees bound them all
over to the next term of the federal
court, holding Wesley Reynolds and
Phillips in $500 bail each, and Louis
Reynolds in $1,000 bail. Bail for the
women was fixed at $500 each, but
they were later released on their own
recognizance. The men, not being
able to furnish bail, were remanded
to the Navajo county Jail.
Wesley Reynolds had Just returned
from Phoenix, where he had paid a
fine Of $500 for bootlegging. He has
been tried twice before for similar
Dffenses. Phillips had also appeared
twice in the superior court of Naya-
10 county on similar charges.

HUSBAND GIVES SELF UP;
SAYS WIFE NOT TO BLAME

from Barstow, California. Saturday
he came to Flagstaff and voluntarily
gave himself up to Officer Neill. He
confessed to having been guilty of
the manufacturing and selling of in

which she has been made to suffer
greatly.
Hardy pleaded guilty and was fined

WELL, LET'S KISS THAT
$4,000 A SAD GOODBYE:
STILL SOME MONEY LEFT

Latest advices from the battle front
and headquarters of the opposing
forces to the folks here at home in
dicate that the U. S. forest service
chief, Colonel "A. B. Greeley, has def
initely and finally decided to divert
$4,000 of the money promised for
the Flagstaff Winslow highway to the
Kaibab forest road north of Grand
Canyon
The numerous letters and kilograms
not been ignored; neither have they
been needed, except by occasional in
tlmations that our protests would
avail US naught.
And now the decision is made. So
thousands of automobiles passing over
the Flagstaff Winslow road may con-
tinue to bump along with $50, 900 less
easement, while the deer in the Kai-
bab national forest will travel the
new highway the $4,000 will provide
for them, and for not much of any,
one or anything else.
A letter recently received from u.
S. Senator Ralph r. Cameron of Ari-
zona by the Flagstaff Chamber of
Commerce, written in reply to many
inquiries he had received regarding
the proposed-and now accomplished
diversion of funds, indicates how
much he was interested in the trans
fer:
Il am transmitting you herewith a
communication | have received from
Hon. A. B. Greeley, chief forester,
which has to do with the proposed
diversion of $4,000 for use on for
est highway on the north rim of the
Grand Canyon between Fredonia and
the north boundary of the Kaibab nat
ional forest. / am, of course, oppos-
ed to this and have so told the Of |
ficials here. 1t has not as yet been
approved by the secretary of agricul-

THIRTEEN NOT UNLUCKY NUMBER
THIS TINE, ALL CANDIDATES FOR
CITY COUNCIL PROGRESSIVE MEN

Each and every candidate for
city council has been sounded
out within the last few days re-
garding his attitude on local
conditions and improvements,
especially on the water develop
ment question.
AS might be expected, when
one reads the list of candidates,
there is an almost perfect unan-
unity of opinion among the can
didates. They are safe, progress
sive, intelligent men. Flagstaff
is singularly fortunate in having
the opportunity to select the
next council from among them.
There will be individual prefer
ences, of course, but if every
voter were to shut his eyes and
draw z of the 13 names from a
hat we'd have a good city coun-
Gil. Which is not bunk - but
truth.
Each candidate is mainly interest
ed in the development of a greater
water supply for Flagstaff. This
unanimity denotes how generally this
need is felt. If there is opposition
to water development it is SO slight
that it hasn't taken form in the can
didacy for council of any one opposed
to such development.

The exact wording of the amend

gresham Cramton is not known since
there have been a number of changes
during the fight over the appropria-

freres. In its last form there was a
provision for an election by the peo-
pie of the country as to whether or
not the trail shall be disposed of un-
der the terms of the amendment.

MEET HERE TOMORROW TO.
FIX GRAZING RATES IN.
THIS NATIONAL FOREST

Local stockmen will meet with for
est officials in Flagstaff tomorrow to
discuss and finally settle individual
forest grazing fees. Forest Supervis-
or E. G. Miller has invited all the
permittees in this forest to attend.
Other forest officials in attendance
will be C. e. Rachford, Washington,
D. G., grazing inspector; James Scott
of Albuquerque, grazing inspector,
and r. w. Hussey of Albuquerque
grazing examiner.
The meeting of the officials with
the Tusayan forest permittees was
held at Williams the first of this
week. The fees suggested by the
forest people were agreed to by the
permittees, who are very we'll salts
fled.
Stockmen generally appreciate the
new regulations and the ten year per-
mits and believe the appraisals made
by the forest men equitable and
sound.
These appraisals and the fixing of
the fees are based in case of each
permittee on several factors, includ-
ing forage on his range, water, to-
Biography and accessibility. Also, the
he has made are con-
and he is allowed a reduction
of 8 per cent on his investment in
and per cent for
on cattle ranges and 91a
per cent on sheep ranges.
In making the appraisals, the for
estry men have taken privatey-leased
range land as basis, in this state the
land used as comparison being the
two million acres Of lands lying out
side of the forests and located be-
tween the eastern edge of the national
forests and the eastern Arizona state
ine.
