KILLED 675 DEER In
KAIBAB RESERVE

During the recent open season of
deer hunting on the Kaibab national
forest, covering the period of Novem-
Der 10 TO January 6, which was au-
tllorized in an effort to reduce the
number of animals rather than have
losses by starvation. 675 bucks were
killed by 271 hunters, according to in
formation received at the local forest
office.
All but 20 of this number were
taken from the west side of the Kai-
bab area, which is cut in two by the
Buckskin mountains Very few hunt
ers took advantage of the opportunity
to kill trophy during the last tw9
weeks of the open season. Although
675 bucks taken during the period will
alleviate the feed or the Kaibab forest
to some extent, it is doubtful that a
sufficient number were killed to re-
lieve the preserve to a material de-
gree.
Most of the hunters were from
Utah points.

TWO CHICKENS, ONE
FENCE COST LIFE OF
RATHER

Jesus Garcia created excitement
among the townspeople of Skull
Valley when he came in from his
ranch six miles west Of there for
his weekly supplies and made the
following report:
A huge snake, measuring over
seven feet, crawled into his chicken
yard and swallowed a fat rooster,
then he started to crawl out and
found the chicken 50 enlarged him
he was unable to pass through the
picket fence. The snake then be-
came disconnected, turned around
and swallowed a fat hen, although
he was half through the fence, with
the result that he could neither
move forward or backward.
Garcia reported he killed the
snake. Several townspeople accom-
panied him back to his ranch to
view the reptile.

UTCISSTUDES OF ARIZONA
EARLY NEWSPAPER PRINTING

Jourdan of Lonpoc, Calf, had just
shipped in g newspaper and printing
outfit. For want of a building, he
made an excavation in the side hill
about 20X40 feet, preparatory to the
arrival of logs and lumber to put up
his printing office. The expected lum-
Der never did come, but a framework
of logs from Turkey creek was spiiced
together with a ridgepole eight inches
IN diameter resting OH the bank at the
rear end of the structure and on a
forked timber in front, where the
door was to be. One day band of
cowboys from San Simon, ranch, on q
lark, took in the camp There was a
drunken row and while one of the
rangers was SOLDERING up in the gulch
another tied his cayuse to the forked
upright that held the ridgepole, which
supported the palm thatched roof
weighted down with rocks and grease
wood brush. That cayuse stood all
day gentle and docile as a silent sa-
huaro on the desert. About dusk a
Cochise warhoop and several shots
down the gulch with the ridgepole and
roof dragging after him. I've seen
some wrecked print shops in my time,
out the Galeville Journal office was
so badly pied up then that load after
load of the first floor under that
ridgepole had to be hauled down to
Turkey creek, ground sluiced' and
'panned out for weeks afterwards.
Even then, there were advertising
fonts of type in that outfit That were
so shy of "sorts" you couldn't set uD
the words Geronimo and Apache Kid
out of four cases. Two issues of the
Journal had been printed, but it took
Is days and a trip to Tucson to get
the third number off the press.
"Charley Patton, old time conductor
on the S. P. then running out of Tue
son to the end of the track (neal
where Lordsburg is now), dumped the
printed edition out of freight car at
San Simon siding, when nobody was
there to receive it. When old man
Jourdan came to get it two days after
wards desert rats, lizards, and road
runners had chewed all the margins
off the title pages. AS usual, there
was some profanity, but Number
Three of the Galeville Journal was &

CROSSWORD
PSYCHOLOGY

Why is latest craze" in nine let
ters?
That is to saw: Why is a cross
word 2
Not even a nah jongg, Coue or a
five-letter card game attracted such
an immediate and vast following.
And some wit put it: Civilization
is standing at the crosswords."
But what is the psychology of this
conflagration that leaves no home or
office unsinged?
Listen then to DR.. A. A. Brill, one
cf the worlds famous psychoanylists,
psychologists and other words in eight
or more letters.
at is the innate competitive i'm
pulse in man. It is mans eternal
desire to find out things; his urge for
discovery" says DR.. Brill who then
amplifies these congratulations as
follows:
"Let us first remember that we
live in an era when man has things
handed to HIM without effort. Things
are all ready made. And that does
not answer the eternal appeal of the
mind. The mind demands self-dis-
covery, self exercise. There is in it,
if it is normal, swothering compe-
titive fire.
"Now let something come along to
stimulate that mental desire, particu
larly let it come at a time when
things are handed out on a platter
and you have nah jongg, bridge, and.
Of course, crosswords.
"There have been chess and checker
fans over the ages because of this
mind competition impulse. And, it is
we'll known, there are countless peo-
Pile too mentally lazy to play chess.
Crossword puzzles offer an outlet
80 the mentally lazy and alert alike.
That it has such great following
can be attributed to the fact that the
person engaged in working the puz-
zle doesn't have to finish it unless he
cares to. One person can do a dozen
or more words and throw it aside
satisfied that he has given his mind
the necessary adventure. The more
curious minded will not give up until
he is the victor; he will not quit un-
til the last emu is in its cage ana the
last eel has wriggled into it's corner.
"It is particularly good for children
for they bubble with curiosity and
are always asking why is this and
what is that. They are avid in their
desire for knowledge and here is an
outlet.
Il should say, generally speaking.
that the whole thing is an outlet for
the competitive impulse in day
when easy access is the rule"

STATE FISH HATCHERY
PROPOSED BY G. P. A.

A state fish hatchery was proposed
by James r. McManus of Globe at the
meeting of the legislative committee
of the state game protective associa-
tion held in Phoenix last week.
Mr.. McManus suggested that the
state should attend to the stocking of
the Roosevelt, Horse Mesa, and Nor
mon Flats lakes and all other lakes
and streams in the state fitted for the
breeding of fish. Indian Gardens
near Payson, was mentioned as a very
favorable place to establish the hatch
cry. Mr. McManus believed that con-
siderable results can be obtained by
working in conjunction with the fed
,ral hatchery service until the breed
'ng and stocking system is perfectly
instituted. A bill may be presented
% the Legislature of the state cover
ng this project.
The protective association is seek
ng the repeal of the present gamo
avs on the grounds that they are al
most completely obsolete and ineffec-
tive; seasons are wrong and it Is
laimed that boundaries of refugees
are difficult to alter; the laws are
found to be too inflexible to care for
almost any emergencies. A new bill
will be presented to the Legislature to
place the question on the ballot OF
The next election. 1t is sought to Sc
cure about 25 game refugees scattered
throughout the state and closed to
hunting during the entire year.

sided at the meeting.

Bell, near Los Angeles, for days
outing without taking Scottie along
he concluded they had gone back to
