TOM PULLIAM OUT FOR
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

Tom Pulliafn has consented to the
importuning of his friends and an
nounces his candidacy for the nonli-
nation on the democratic ticket for
the office of Justice of the Peace for
the Flagstaff district. Feeling there
was but little politics in this office
and believing it would fit in with his
abstract and insurance business with
out detracting from either work, he
agreed to make the race.
Tom does not need an introduction
to all his old time friends in this sec
tion for he has been resident here
thirty years. During his long resi-
dence here he has been elected to and
held with exceptional ability the of
flee Of county recorder, sheriff and
supervisor. He was the first clerk of
the board of supervisors when the new
county of Coconino' was set apart
from Yavapai. Under Sheriff John
Francis he served for five years as
deputy sheriff.
Governor Hunt appointed him sup
erintendent of the state Industrial
school and a few years later drafted
Tom to fill the same place for short
time.
Tom has not been in the political
game since 1915.
He was elected mayor Of Flagstaff
by a big majority two years ago and
gave his service free to the old home
town-but that isn't considered a po-
litical office, more of duty to the peo-
pie. The city administration, under
his direction, was one Of the most pro-
gressive in our history, and many big
things were accomplished.
There is no question as to his abili-
ty to give good service to the people
in fair, square way, if he is selected
Justice of the Peace.

STUDYING TREE DECAY

Doctor w. H. Long, forest patholog-
ist with headquarters in Albuquerque,
spent Saturday at the southwestern
forest experiment station. Doctor
Long makes specially of tree dl-
seases, especially those which produce
decay in tinlbers. On this visit he IN
spected several hundred fence posts
set by the forest service IN 1909. The
common gambel oak, native to this
region, when set green with the bark
on makes splendid post. To get the
hest result, however, the posts must
be free from heart rot. Green sound
oak posts are good for at least 20
years, whereas posts containing only
a slight amount ofsheart rot when set
will decay in from 5 to 10 years. Pine
posts last only from 5 to 8 years un-
less very pitchy, in which case they
are good for as much as 15 years.

FORD TRUCKS SUPPLANT
MULES HAULING LUMBER
AT F. [. co. SAWMLLL

Things are fast being speeded up at
the Flagstaff Lumber Co. mill, the
aim being greater daily production Of
lumber.
The two big new boilers have been
hooked up and are doing their stunt.
A new log carriage will soon be IN
stalled. A small foundry has been
built so that brass castings and small
iron castings may be made as needed
instead of encountering the delay of
sending away for them.
An innovation here, though long
tried out at the company's plant IN
Louisiana, is the using OF two Ford
trucks to haul wagons carrying green
lumber from the saws and dry lumber
into the planning mill. The chassis
have been shortened. An automatic
coupling device at the rear permits
the driver, without leaving his seat,
to couple on or unceuple from either
end of the wagons.
The latter, Of which about 200 have
been shipped from Louisiana, have
four iron wheels and the connection
between the two axles is by steel
reaches, set across each other, in such
manner that no matter how short
the turn the rear wheels follow in the
track of the front wheels. This
makes short turning past posts and
lumber piles easy,
E. E. Pipes, general outside super
intendent, says that the two trucks
will greatly reduce the expense of
handling lumber, which has been done
with men and mules.
The increase in production of block
wood at the mill is taken care of by
shipping it away. The company is
getting more orders for the wood than
| it can fill
Recently change was made by
which a lot of the slab stuff that
/ goes into the incinerator is cut into
strips an inch square and sold for
turning down into curtain rollers. This
end of the business is already proving
profitable.
Mr.. Pipes estimates that production
of sawed lumber at the mill has in
creased about 10000 feet a day in
the last few weeks.
