TRANSMISSION with the blood of two
being found suitable, T. B. Walton,
of Los Angeles, general chairman
of the fremen;" being chosen to

STATE CONTROL
OF AREA NEAR
CANYON ASKED

Suggestion that the entire dis
trict including the Kaibab National
Forest, the Grand Canyon National
Park, and the Grand Canyon Ma
tional Game Preserve and other
territory in the Arizona strip north
of the Colorado river be turned
over to the state of Arizona for ad-
ministration under proper agree
ments was made last week by Gov
ernor Hunt in a telegram to HUI
bert Work, secretary of the interior.
The governor states in the mes
sage that the overlapping authority
and conflict between the United
States Forest service, the United
States National Park service and
the state of Arizona in the dis
tricts named are causes Of con-
stant friction and dissatisfaction
and that he believes the time has
come when the proper .conserva
tion and development of the region
and it's resources should be en-
trusted to the state of Arizona.
The governor suggests that the
Grand Canyon of Arizona, the Kai-
bab National Forest and the Ari-
zona Strip in general, with it's un-
rivaled scenery, it's deer herd esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000,
which has grown as the result of
an executive order of President
Roosevelt, and the other attractions
form one of the greatest assets of
the state of Arizona, and proposes
that they be combined into a for
est, park and game preserve and
as such be turned over to the state
for administration
In event this is accomplished,
the state will undertake to admin
lister the trust not only in the in
terest of Arizona, but also in the
interest of the nation and the
world, to whom the great natural
playground and unrivalled scenery
belong.
1t is the aim of the governor, to
request United States Senators
Henry F. Ashurst and Ralph Cam
eron to introduce a bill at the next
session of congress looking toward
turning the district over to the
state as state park, forest and
game preserve.

Car Leaves Grade To
Plung Into W ater

Tourists from Maryland met with
what might have proved a very
serious accident when their car left
the grade about 2 miles out on the
Winslow-Holbrook highway sun
day afternoon. The car swerved
when one of the tires blew out and
caused the driver to lose control
of the machine which plunged into
a deep pool at the side of the road.
AS the machine alighted right side
up, the occupants were uninjured,
but the water kept them in the car
until gang plank was laid from
the bank to the car. Tom Hub
bard happened to be the first to
come along who could give them
assistance. The radiator was sub
merged almost to the cap.

Permission To Shoot
Kaibab Deer Expected

Intermountain forest headquar-
ters officials at Odgen, Utah, say
they believe an adjustment can be
brought about whereby the original
plans for shooting deer in the Kai-
bab forest of northern Arizona may
be Carried out A press dispatch
from Phoenix said Governor Hunt
has ordered that Kaibab deer slay-
ers must obtain an Arizona license
before training their rifles on the
animals. The forest service and
State Game Warden Willard of
Arizona, recently negotiated an
agreement to allow hunters from
other states to shoot deer in the
Kaibab without an Arizona license
and with three deer as the bag
limit. The forest service believes
that this agreement will be the
basis for an adjustment of the
question with Governor Hunt.

RET RACTION

The Winslow Mail was advised
Friday afternoon in a telegram
from Vice-President Paul G. Hoff-
man, of the Studebaker Corpora
ton, that the company would place
a full page advertisement in the
Saturday Evening Post of Novem-
Der Z, devoted to the highways and
scenic wonders Of this state.
The telegram follows
South Bend, Indiana.
September 10, 1925.
Winslow Mail:
The following wire to Gov
ernor Hunt will answer your
letter of September Is. Your
telegram of September 16,
criticizing our advertisement of
August 20, is quite justified.
We will use full page in Satur-
day Evening Post of November
Z, which is first date available
to tell story of trip by Stude-
baker man through every coun-
ty in Arizona. This page will
be splendid advertisement for
Arizona, it's highway system
and it's great natural attrac-
tiOnS
PAUL G. HOFFMAN,
Vice-president
On August 20, the Saturday
Evening Post carried a full-page
Studebaker advertisement in which
the following expression occurred:
ARIZONA is the supreme testing
ground of automobile merit =
blistering sands and gruelling
mountain tails where automobiles
are pounded to pieces if they can
not withstand excessive abuse"
On September Is, the editor of
The Mail addressed letter to the
advertising director of Studebaker
Corporation, together with num-
ber of protesting articles taken
from state papers, among which
were stories from The Mail, Tomb
stone Epitaph and Dunbar's Week
ly. The next day Governor Hunt,
the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce
and the Arizona Industrial Con-
gress sent protests to the Stude--
baker company. The telegram
quoted in the message to The Mail
was the result of the complaints,
many of which suggested that the
company make amends for their
error by placing an Arizona ad in
the same medium.
The protestants, including The
Mail, are gratified at the turn the
matter has taken, and the fairness
of the Studebaker Corporation will
be understood by all, especially
when it is learned that such an ad-
vertisement in the Post costs in
excess of $1,000, and The Mail, at
least, will forgive them if they
come across with a $1,000 adver-
tising contract with US And Wen
give them more than ,one whole
page for their money.
