Prof. Vinson of the State Univer
sity staff claims he was removed be-
cause he gave testimony in a damage
suit considered injurious to the big
copper interests. If his statements
are true the equality of opportunity
and abolition of special privilege is
being violated by what should be a
free state institution.

More than $500 worth of imported
liquors were poured into Phoenix sew
ers last week on order of federal
Judge Jacobs. 1t comprised 10 cases
of genuine Cedar Brook, two cases of
Burke's Irish whiskey, and a barrel
of Mexican imported alcohol.

A Cry From Coconino.-Coconino
county, the second largest county in
the U. S. wants help from the State
to build roads. The sooner such a
big county is cut up and made acces-
sible the more revenue Arizona will
derive from it in encouragement to
settlers and homeseekers.
A Grandstand PIay.-The psychol-
ogical effect on the public mind of
that broadcasted cheap publicity con-
corning the Presidents economy in
travelling by ordinary Pullman cars
instead of the usual Presidential Spe-
ial was to regard it as political COM
age-which it really was.
No date for walkout of locomotive
firemen and engineers has as yet
been set. The vote was 96 per cent
in favor of Striking" unless the
railroads make adjustments of the
differences. Hopes are held for a
peaceful settlement as the Miner goes

w. w. BASS PREDICTED FAILURE
OF kAIBAB DEER DRIVE
Wickenburg, Ariz.. Dec.

Wickenburg, Ariz., Dec. II
| My dear Mr.. Watson:-
How is it we do not find lot of
bunk in your publications about that
wonderful deer drive that is to go
down in history as the one of the
| most spectacular accomplishments of
our present day achievements. After
weeks and months of newspaper ad-
vertising we are told that the hordes
of cowboys and Navajo Indians are
on their way to the snow-clad Buck
skin Mountains to discover that those
thousands of four-footed nomads
have secreted themselves in the
numberless gorges and side canyons
extending from the snow-covered
north rim of the Grand Canyon at
least 1000 feet elevation, to the Colo
RADIO River at the Granite Gorge
We read about this river as mild
and placid silvery stream scarcely
one hundred feet in width at the
proposed crossing for this drive and
most of us who know nothing about
its spasmodic rises are not aware
that as soon as the SHOWS accumu-
late on the higher elevations, on the
north side hundreds of rivulets are
constantly increasing it's volume for
be it known that snow seldom if
ever is found at the River within
the Canyon, regardless of it's accum-
ulation ON the rim. The additional
increase in the flow of the Little
| Colorado River, due to the heavy
snow fall in the northern regions of
the state within the past few days,
will also have to be met at the pro
posed crossing at the foot of the
Tanner and Deer Tank Trails, which
converge at the lower carboniferous
formation midway down. No doubt
the section between the junction of
the two rivers and the head of the
Granite Gorge, distance of about
twelve miles, is the only possible
point that any crossing of loose
stock gould be accomplished with
success, with no flood waters to con-
tend with. My experience at this
crossing does not include deer driving
either wild or tame and only a few
dead ones packed across on gentle
animals. Let us hope that this un-
ique undertaking proves to be COM
plete success, and thus add to Ari-
zona's wonderful achievements an
other record breaker, but until more
is known of the possible dangers to
be met at this particular season, it
shall remain problematical.

The Wickenburg Hog Club is plan
ming a conjunction with some of the
Community Leagues SOS to build UP
on membership and erect a club
house this winter. Yavapai Ike has
an idea to excayate and roof a dug
out along the river bank, with tun-
mel approach, where prying Peters
may be caught in a trap and doused
into the river.

WILL REMEMBER VETERANS

eve want every one to know that
not one of the disabled ex-service
men in hospitals will spend a lonely
Yuletide," said William Carl Hunt,
Manager of the Pacific Division of
the American Red Cross, in a state
ment concerning the Christmas cele-
bration for patients in Veterans and
Army and Navy Hospitals. He fur
ther stated Christmas gifts sent to
the boys will be faithfully distributed
by Red Cross workers on the staff in
each hospital in the Pacific Division.
The celebration for the disabled men
who are fighting their hardest battle
in hospitals will be as near like
Christmas at Home as it is possible
for loving care to make it.

-Sharlot M. Hall.
The second edition of Cactus and
Pine, the success of a few years ago,
is off the press and the author, Shar-
lot Hall, is receiving an ovation upon
it's appearance. It's glorified edi-
tion, bearing the autograph of the
writer and number of interesting
views of the home at Orchard Ranch
make the book doubly valuable.
The themes of the poems are close
to the heart of Miss Hall and in her
Interpretation she has woven SO
much of her rare sincerity that the
reader feels the tentacles of love
winding around a responsive some
thing in their own hearts. Miss Hall
has filled her verse with broad
stretches of the western land. Mi.
RACES rise on desert sands and lure
the traveller on, hot stinging sands
burn the eyes, cowboys ride the
range and sing their wild free songs
pines sway and dip in storm and
gale and whisper in the night, and
waters break in furious power when
hurtling down the gorge-all this and
much more is told in glowing, vivid
words which make the reader walk
awhile and view the scene through
artist eyes,
Miss Hall sings in tender terms of
life and death and takes away the
sting of the one and adds to the

Brief Nature Studies
By ,. OTIS SWIFT

With the music of returning vireos, or chard and Baltimore orioles. bobolinks, rose breasted grosbeaks. scarlet tanagers and the color of the indigo bird in the air of wood lands, fields and groves, there suddenly 9p- pears, as if by magic, host of white, fragile blossoms along the ground of rich woodlands. Where there was never a flower save the hepaticas, pussytoes and rock saxifrage the week before, bright eyes star the ground like daisies.
 The bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis, flowers an inch and half wide, rises like an emblem, of importality from the black loam where sleep the ashes of untold gen erations of plants. insects and animals. When it first appears. little white, round, expanding bud on a long stem, with queer-shaped ight-blue-olive-green leaf wrapped like a blanket about it, it looks like an Algonquin souaw standing just above the soil.
 The flowers are 50 delicate that they fade quickly when picked, the petals falling off. The fleshy root is easily tranaplanted Co gar dens and the flowers come year after year.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-10
THE SCHOOL BONDS

On the result of Tuesdays election to de- termine whether the people of Birmingham will provide the necessary funds to care for pressing school improvement and library needs depends in a measure whether Bir- mingham will go forward as a great center of industry and production, or will stand still, which is in effect the same thing as going backward. The city and district are making constructive progress in many direc- tions. What has been accomplished is but the foretaste of what is to come, if proper agencies and influences are put to work to accept the opportunities at hand.
 The people know that the influence and effects of adequate school facilities upon com munity development and progress are im- measurable. No, one who knows what the schools have done and can do will question that, next to the public health, they are the most important public asset. The schools are a potent factor in lifting the standard of citizenship, in putting the system of govern ment on a higher plane and in improving the administration of the public service. Their influence in the encouragement and main tenance of law and order, the proper admin istration of justice and the reduction of crime is incalculable. They supply the enlighten- ment which brings public development of all worthy kinds.
 Aside from the intellectual benefits and aesthetic advantages of the schools, their ma terial value is hard to overestimate. The cit izens of the South's greatest richest and most favored community are asked to vote a little over four million dollars to meet urgent needs of the public school system and to erect library building. The only unfavorable criticism that could be made is that the amounts requested by the school and library authorities are not larger. The city cannot afford to refuse this money, because it is a wise investment to which will produce many times the amount in returns to be shared by every resident.
 Next Tuesday is the date for the Neetion.
