WINSLOW MAN NEAR
BROWNS IN BATH TUB

Matt Fowler, popular young clerk
at the Central Drug company store,
experienced a close call Wednesday
morning while taking a bath Fumes
from gas heater in the bath room
overcame him, and he fell uncon-
scious into the partly filled bath tub.
As he fell he cut severe cash in
his forehead, and fell in such posi-
ton that his face was partly under
water. The gurgling of the water as
he breathed and choked was heard by
his landlady, Mrs. H. A. Coble of
North kinsley avenue, who immed-
lately broke in the bathroom door and
summoned physician.
A moment longer and young Fow-
ler would have breathed his last, but
owing to his quick rescue no disas-
trous results will follow, and it is ex-
pected that he will be on the job again
within a few days.-Winslow Mail.

INDIANS GET HOLD
OF GOOD "LICKER'

Three husky Navajo Indians were
landed in Apache county jail Tuesday,
Deputy Sheriff Clifford Smith of
Chambers having arrested them on
complaint of Billie Burke, who, before
prohibition went into effect, owned
and operated a palatial saloon in
WinsloW.
When prohibition compelled him to
go out of business, Burke took a car
load or two of high-grade booze in
bottles and barrels to his ranch at
Houck and slowed it away in his cell
lar to be used by himself and friends
on state occasions.
Evidently some of it is left yet, as
the Indians are accused of breaking
into the cellar and swiping two cases
of the precious stuff which by this
time, should be about worth it's weight
in gold. So, no matter what punish
ment the Indians are given, short of
being hung, they'll be getting off
cheap.-St Johns Observer.

N. Y. co. BUYS ENTIRE
OUTPUT OF ASBESTOS

Consumation of a deal whereby the
Asbestos Limited company of New
York will handle the entire output Of
asbestos now being mined by the San
Carlos Asbestos Mining company,
which is operating at a deposit about
45 miles from Springerville in the
White mountains was announced by
the Arizona Industrial congress Sat
urday. The transaction was closed
through the medium of the congress
according to the announcement.
The New York company purchased
all the asbestos which the. mining
company has on hand now and en-
tered into an agreement to handle the
entire output of the mine for period
of nine months. Officials of the COM
pany declare the Arizona product is
the only asbestos in this country that
has commercial value. The Arizona
asbestos is divided into two grades,
dependent on the length Of the fibre.
The higher grade sells as high as
S425 per ton, while the lower grade
sells from $3.50 to $175 per ton, ac-
cOrding to the announcement.
The San Carlos mine is now pro-
ducing approximately 30 tons per
month. The product is carried on
pack mules six miles and delivered to
the railroad by teams This is a
rather expensive manner of handling
the product, officials declare, but they
say that they have been able to dis
pose of the product at a price which
will enable them to make fair profit
and at the same time develop the mine
in an economical manner.
The product is used for making as
bestos yarn, tape for electric installa-
tions, gas heaters, filtering cloth for
acids, packing, and brake Innings. Of
ficials of the purchasing company de-
clare that the Arizona product will
meet keen competition from Canada
and South Africa, but say that the as
bestos found here is of higher grade
than that produced in either of the
other two regions.-Snowflake Herald.

LIVESTOCK MEN TO MEET
IN PHOENIX DECEMBER 9
TO CONSIDER LEGISLATION

Those interested in the livestock in
dustry of Arizona are summoned to a
meeting in Phoenix on December to
consider recommendation to be made
to the next legislature in regard to
changes needed in livestock laws in q
call issued by the state livestock sani-
taFy board recently.
The call, sent out by Charles T.
Francis, secretary of the board, is adj
dressed to the attorney general, to
county attorneys and county attor-
neys elect, to officials and members
of livestock associations, to livestock
owners and those interested in that
industry.
Present livestock laws of the state,
Mr. Francis said, are made to deal
with conditions existing at the time
the laws were enacted, but not meet
ing the situations which exist today.
One of the important matters to be
discussed at the meeting will be that
of revising the laws so as to cover
present day conditions.
Livestock laws as they now stand
center their attention on range cat
tie, for which the need existed at the
time they were enacted. The laws
are deficient, however, in dealing
with dairy cattle and the herds held
in enclosures, Mr.. Francis said.
'It used to be-" Mr.. Francis said,
"that the cattle thief centered his at
tention on range cattle. Today most
of the thieving is that of the more
expensive dairy stock. The state re-
quires that range stock be branded,
but makes no such requirements of
stock held enclosed.
Livestock men, particularly those
dealing with enforcement of the law,
are agreed that stock held in enclos-
ures also should be branded. 1t is
not difficult to find and convict the
thief who takes branded stock. 1t is
very difficult and often impossible to
arrest or convict the thief who takes
the unbranded cattle, although the
average value of unbranded stock in
this state far exceeds the average
value of the range cattle"
The meetings are to be held in the
house of representatives chamber,
starting probably at 10 a. m. The
meeting supersedes by little more than
a month the session of the legisla-
ture which convenes on January 13.

ing 12,200 miles of roadway and 49,
200 miles of track, including second,
third and other tracks, with 2300 pas
senger and freight stations conven-
iently located for its patrons, sets

road in the year book for 1925, Just
off the press. The statistics are given
in the systems "Everyman's Alma
nae" now being distributed.
The Santa Fe lines are owned by
65,000 stockholders who have invested

GOODING BILL TO PREVENT
UNJUST DISCRIMINATION

Time is the biggest foe in the cam
paign for the passage of the Gooding
bill.
Congress meets in Washington on
Monday, December 1, and automati-
cally adjourns on March 4. If the
Gooding bill is to become a law be-
fore the present congress completes
its work, it must be passed between
December 1 and March a.
The elections are over. Senators
and congressman are already begin
ming to return to their desks at Wash
ington and to discuss legislation which
they will consider at this coming short
session. Now is the time to let the
congressman Of this state know that
the most important piece of legislation
before them today, from the stand
point of their constituents, is the
Gooding long and short haul bill. Let
them know that this bill must be
passed.
The Gooding bill passed the senate
six months ago by the magnificent
vote of 81 to 23 If it does not pass
the house before March 4 that ground
will be lost and the long fight will
have to be started all over again.
The Gooding bill does not ask any
thing that is unfair. 1t is simply JUS
tice to seven million people who live
in 16 western states. 1t does not seek
to overthrow or to tear down any ex-
listing freight rate structures. 1t sim
ply gives a guarantee that the vast
intermountain country will never
again be Disseminated against IN
freight rates.
Time is the greatest foe in the
campaign for the Gooding bill but
that foe will be defeated when the
congressman know the attitude of the
people of the inter-mountain country.

SUGGESTS EXTRA BUCK
FOR EACH CAT KILLED

Mountain lions in Arizona take
tremendous annual toll of cattle, par
tlcularly calves, that can be approx
mately calculated. For this reason
the federal government and the state
maintain a small corps of hunters to
kill them off, but this effort has not
been successful in eliminating them,
says Chas. H. Morgan in the Asso-
ciated Arizona Producer.
Deer also, are preyed upon by the
mountain lions to such an extent that
the number left for sportsmen is
greatly diminished. Various estimates
place the number of deer and calves
annually destroyed by each mountain
lion at from 40 to rs. Multiply this
by 500, the number of mountain lions
estimated to be at large in the state,
and the result is to show an annual
destruction of from 10000 to $4,000
deer annually, or many more than are
killed by sportsmen. Examination
Iof mountain lion stomachs shows that
90 per cent of their food is deer.
A plan has been suggested to in
terest the sportsmen OF the state in
the hunting and killing of mountain
lions. The suggestion came from Fred
III. Elliott, president of the Phoenix
Chamber Of Commerce, and has the
approval of NJ E. Musgrave, in charge
of the predatory animal destruction
work in Arizona.
Briefly, the plan is to encourage
the hunting of mountain lions by
sportsmen by two methods. The first
is to allow each hunter that kills a
lion to kill an extra buck deer for
each lion slain, and since he would
save from "a to As deer by so doing
he would be entitled to take an extra
buck. The season during which the
sportsmen should be allowed to take
extra deer for lion killing might last
all winter.
The second feature would be to
have practical arrangements made by
the predatory animal division to place
at disposal of sportsmen guides and
pack of lion dogs, since trained dogs
are necessary, and are not available
to any extent at present.
In discussing the plan with State
Game Warden Willard recently the
head of the game department ex-
pressed the opinion that the hunter
who killed a lion, and thus saved a lot
of deer and calves, should very YER
tainly be entitled to some reward, per-
haps the killing of an extra buck, but
he expressed some doubt as to the
practicability Of checking upon them.
