OFFICERS RAID BIG
STILL NEAR STATE LINE

One of the largest stills ever taken
in this part Of. the country was uri-
covered Monday morning about 5
o'clock by federal prohibition agents
assisted by Apache county officers.
The still was located just over the
Arizona New Mexico line in New
Mexico, east of Springelville, about
two or three miles east of the Cosby
ranch. It is reported as being oper-
ated by Bob and Lem Cosby, cattle
men of that country, and has been
used continually for over four years.
The officers having heard that the
brothers had said that they could not
be taken, went to work in the most
approved manner and soon found the
approximate location of the still.
Then, by watching the men, they trac-
ed their movements to a small arroyo,
we'll hidden with no trails leading to
1t.
They found that the men went to
large dugout, well hidden in the
bottom of the arroyo. After having
found the camp they waited for two
days to get both men at the place at
the same time. First one would work
and then, before the other arrived the
first would leave. Finally, when the
opportunity arrived they began closing
in. While yet some distance away,
however, they were spied by one OF
the boys who ran to give the alarm.
The officers then rushed the dugol1t
and arrived just as one of the mel,
started to get his gun which was IN
the corner, some distance from where
he stood. Just as one of the officers
was about to shoot, he wheeled ann
threw up his hands. The other man
had broken and run for the tent where
they slept, and in so doing had run
into one of the deputies who krockea
his gun out of his hands.
One Of the other officers was stand
ing between the dugout and the tent,
so that the man was stopped before
he reached the tent door.
In the dugout, they found fifty
gallon still in operation, set right
down in a furnace. Behind this they
found a smaller, fifteen-gallon still
and outside was a twenty gallon one,
which was not being used at the time.
A fifty-gallon coca cola barrel was
IOunQ TO De aDOuC HdIl lull u WiiiShCS,
and twenty-gallon barrel was full.
There were five or six other kegs in
the dugout, but they were not being
used at the time.
Tn the arroyo, both above and below
the dugout, were found piles of chips
some two feet in depth, showing where
they had chopped wood for their fur
mace. These chips had begun to decay
on the bottom Of the pile, showing
that they were a number Of years old.
An axe handle was found, that lCoxet.

least.

COOLIDGE STICKS
FOR TAX REDUCTION

The President called attention to
the fact that when he met with the
heads of the departments six months
ago he said that the fight for econ
omy had but one purpose-that It's
benefits would accrue TO the whole
people through reduction in taxes.
Taxes have. now been reduced.
"While our immediate need is for
tax reform, as distinguished from
tax reduction, we must continue tn.s
campaign for economy SO as to MAKE
possible further tax reduction. The
relief which has recently been ar
forded must be only the Beginning
Coolidge declared that the govern
inent payroll must be reduced. He
pointed out that many things nao
been done in the past which were
not businesslike at all.
In discussing the preliminary esti-
mates that are being prepared for
the next fiscal year the president
said, "For that fiscal year it will be

NEWS GENERAL ARIZONA
PERMANENT INJUNCTION
AGAINST DIAMOND CREEK

4&44.
cQpstraaetion Of the $$36s 900 900 shy-
dro electric power dam at Diamond
cfeelS on the Colorado river, launched
by James B. Girand, Phoenix engineer
was permanently enjoined Monday by
United States Judge Fred G. Jacobs.
Authority vested in the federal pow
er commission, which declined to sane
tion q license for building of the dam,
was held sufficient by the court to
order cessation of all work by the
Girand interests on the dam site.
The injunction was brought in an
application filed by the government
last March / in Phoenix. On March
70; Judge Jacobs granted a teinpor-
ary restraining order, halting work
on the project for nearly three months
after Girand's working forces began
construction work at Diamond creek
despite the commissions refusal TO
grant license authorizing the build
ing of the dam.
Judge Jacobs declared today the
merits of the application had been
argued in federal court at Phoenix
prior to the issuance Of the temporary
restraining order.
The permit under which Mr.. Girand
began work at Diamond creek was OF
a preliminary nature, the court
ruled, and as such authorized the per
fnittee to explore the dam site to de-
termine the feasibility Of building d
dam for development of electric power.

DAIRY cow BEST GIFT
TO MAN, SAYS SPEAKER

From the Topeka Capital
THE dairy COW is the best gift God
has given man. declared c. L. Grif-
fifth, attorney general, speaker at a
chamber Of commerce forum here.
In lifetime a dairy COW produces
fifteen times her weight in tho best
of fertilizer, six times herself in kind
and fifteen times her weight in milk.
After she is dead her horns may be
used for making combs. her hoofs in
glue and chewing gum, her stomach
into tripe, her hide into leather for
shoes, her hair into mixing for plas-
tering and last her tail into soup.
The COW is the greatest health
laboratory man has. 1t has been
proven that milk viii cure completely
forty-fiVc different diseases. There is
more nutrition to be derived from 1t
quart of milk than from eight eggs,
a quart of oysters, a pound of beef

Good roads are the greatest of bonc-

Gentleman and Scholar
Building Outlook
Good For The South

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. $50 far as
the South is concerned this year has
run off its first month with indications
quite good for a tremendous build ng
program, in the opinion of Hentz,
Reid and Adler, Atlanta architects,
who are designing many structures
through out Georgia and the South.
In theis connection it is logical to
reason, as pointed out by the archi-
tects--, that large amount of con-
struction will be. demanded for the
next few years, since it should be
borne in mind that there is not only
a building shortage, but there are GER
tain unusual changes taking place
which necessitate a greater building
program than would be needed thru
the normal increase in population.
The movement from the country dis
tricts to the cities and the large mi
grations from more or less congested
city centers to the open suburbs, it is
stated, has resulted in an enormous
increase in the demand for dwellings,
stores, garages, schools and other
accoutrements of civilization. 1t also
involves the alteration of buildings
from which removal has taken place,
and in many cases the demolition of
them and their replacement by struc-
lures of another type.
