has been greatly extended in the last
10 years, until now the physical as

The principal owner of the Hol-
brook Light & Power Co. was Kenneth
Myers. Mr.. Baird, former secretary

the Winslow company.
The transfer of the property will
effect greater efficiency in that to

available the services of experts and
methods which none of those towns
heretofore operating as single units,
could afford.
Also, establishment of the general
offices for the Arizona properties in
Flagstaff brings us some fine new

from the operating force there will be
minimum of at least seven men en-
ployed in the offices.

there for short time last fall, the
killing being limited, however, owing
to the delay caused by Governor
Hunt until an agreement satisfactory
to the state had been arrived at. When
this was accomplished the season was
so far gone that not more than four
or five hundred deer were killed.
According to the program this
year, any hunter, from any state, was
to be allowed to kill three deer, either
buck or doe, paying So for each deer
killed.
From Mr.. Skeels' telegram it is evil
dent that Governor Hunt will insist
on observance of Arizona law, al
though the region to be hunted over is
government preserve. The state law
limits the season to the month fol-
lowing October | and the killing to
bucks, of which no hunter may kill
more than one. Also, nonresident
hunters will have to take out non
resident hunting licenses, if the state
law is enforced, which cost $40. Resi-
dent hunters licenses cost only $1.25
each.

if Arizona state and other public
works building contracts We're as care
fully guarded as those in California
against the use of any plaster except
that made in the state he could sell
much more in Arizona. He can't sell
it in California because they use home
products, and he can't sell it on the
big public contracts in this state be-
cause of California competition.

money in their stocking, if you will,
but it is a safer place under some

somewhere around $500. Not long

Proposal Is to Convert Them
 Into Welfare Ships

Topeka, Kan. Dec. 21 P}- The United States government would save millions of dollars and give q tremendous impetus to world bro- therhood by literally beating it's swords into poughsharcs," in the opinion of Dr. Charles M.

 Doctor Sheldon is advocating the Use of discarded navy vessels as University ships" and "secrctary of peace" in the presidents cabinet.
 "Battleships that cost millions were scrapped after the disarma- ment conference at Was 4hington," he declared. "Old shipping board ves- scls arc still being destroyed. How much better if they could have been converted into university ships, 10 take the pick of out college students around the world on an educational tour.
 Wouldn't it he fine to remove
  the guns and munitions and fill the holds with provisions and merchan- disc; take aboard 1000 students and professors, and go from continent to continent studying daily as they would at home? Their cargo could be exchanged for foreign exports, and the expenses of the voyage de- frayed in this trading,
 Perhaps there would be an earth quake in Greece. The ship would go there and leave provisions. A famine in China-our university would hast en to Chinese ports with food. Pest- Ienco in the Near East-reief would be rushed on our 'dreadnaught Of peace
 If we could send our college stu dents on such a journey, bringing the friendship Of America to every country in the world, we would nov- CT have to uso the navy for any mission of war. Soon the other countries would send their uniyer- sity ships to us, and real world fcl- lowship and complete disarmament would come"
