cast those fraudulent statements or
exaggerations abroad pertaining to the
number OF delegates and the vast
army of visitors who were supposed
to be in evidence in Chicago the past
week.
It was easy to see near the end Of
the sessions that not many delegates
were present when the time had ar
rived for the railroad officials to sign
up their tickets when they began to
figure on returning home. 1t was then
that positive proof was adduced which
showed that between three hundred
and fifty or not more than four hun
dred delegates at the outside were
present That owing to the fact that
much less than FIVE hundred delegates
had attended the sessions of the
League, and that they were not in a
position to demand that the railroad
officials reduce their fares home to
the extent Of one penny.

ran into DR.. Robert R. Motion just as

BIGGEST STILL YET
FOUND NEAR PRESCOTT

What is reported to be the biggest
haul in the line of stills since the ap-
pointment of NJ. E. Cassidy as prohi-
bition director for Arizona, was made
Monday night by federal agents, who
have been doing little cleaning up
in this vicinity since Saturday.
The still was located about three
miles from Prescott on the Humboldt
road, within 200 yards of the public
highway and showed evidences of hav-
ing been in use for several months.
The "stillee" made his escape through
the brush, the officers said, and al
though his tracks could be followed
for some distance, had such lead on
the federal sleuths that he got away.
Three stills were captured in the
raid, two of them of 50-gallon capac-
ity, and one 20-gallon still, together
with 1000 gallons of mash, so gallons
of finished liquor, 20 10-gallon kegs,
some empty and some filled and a
quantity of sugar and other ingredi-
ents necessary for the manufacture of
booze
A Studebaker car without license
plates and with all the identifying
numbers on the motor and body chis-
sled off, also was seized by the offic-
ars.

PLANS CHANGED, JUSTICE
AND FARM AGENT WILL
STAY WHERE THEY ARE

Board of county supervisors have
reconsidered their plan to move JUS
tice of the Peace R. J. Kidd's and
County Farm Agent Frank Chisholm's
offices from Masonic Temple to the
new county garage, according to an
nouncement made Monday at the
monthly meeting of the supervisors.
The change in plans came about from
two conditions reduction in ex-
pense to the county through a lower
ing of the rent and the offer of Mr..
Chisholm to take care of his own
rent, through the state university
paying part of it, and intercession by
lawyers and others having frequent
business with the two officials, who
felt that locating the offices in the
garage building would be great in
to them. County Engin-
eer Wright's office will go to the new
building, however. This is largely at
his own request, for he will have more
room there and at the same time be

Dear Sir: | have been transferred

this might be construed to mean the
sunshine so we'll loved and certain in
that country, and which, true enough,
does not shine much here, and IS so
far south that one might take it to be
an electric light at that when one
does see it. The natives tell me it is
the sun, and am taking their word
for it, but it is nothing like the sun
in Arizona which / am looking for
ward to anxiously, only a matter of
a few weeks, when | again will be
basking in its glow and breathing
your wonderful air, but in the mean
time, / insist on having your paper
sent here to help pacify my longing
to return; so just kindly change my
address, and send that paper regular
to following address, and when my
subscription is due, notify me, and
will demonstrate my earnestness in
having this paper sent here.
Respectfully,
DIR. R. N. ASHLEY.
