ARIZONA WEATHER AND
RANGE CONDITIONS

Continued absence of rain is having
a detrimental effect on stock ranges
but the milder weather of the week as
sisted animals in resisting the weak
ening effect of inadequate feed. A
considerable depth of snow continues
on the ground in the Grand Canyon
section where stock and range are
both reported poor. Water is said to
be short and range poor in the Vi
cinity of Holbrook but the condition
of stock is still fair. Patches of snow
remain on the ground about Williams
and stock and range are only fair.
Stock have an ample supply of water
in the Seligman section and continue
fair. Warmer weather has helped
stock in southern Cochise county but
the range is said to be in bad condi-
tion. Stock and range are poor in
the Prescott and Stafford sections. In
the Pinedale region both water and
feed are plentiful and cattle are said
to be doing well.

REPORT SAYS LIVESTOCK
OUTLOOK 1925 GOOD

prices for beef cattle for 1925
should average somewhat higher than
for 1924" says a U. S. department of
agriculture press dispatch. ''The in
dustry is gradually working into a
more favorable position due to the re-
lation of beef to competing commodi-
ties, especially pork; improved indus
trial conditions, and in no small meas
ure to the cattleman's own sacrifices.
Market receipts will probably be some
what smaller than in 1924. All condi-
tions indicate that the longtime out
look for the industry is even more fa-
vorable.
Prospects for the sheep industry
in 1925 appear favorable. The world
wool outlook and the prospective meat
situation in this country promise
prices for 1925 at least on a par with
those of 1924 There does not appear
to be any immediate danger of over
production, as the increase in the
number of sheep has as yet been only
slight"

OKLAHOMA DESPERADOS
KILL PHOENIX OFFICER

Haze Burch, Phoenix policeman,
very popular in that city, who also
had many friends in Flagstaff, was
shot down Thursday morning by Babe
and Will Lawrence whom he had just
arrested for Texas murder. Burch
died that night.
The desperadoes, aged respectively
10 and 25, were captured Friday at the

tiary to avoid possible mob vengeance.
The men said they had visited Flag
staff, Williams, Ashfork and Prescott
few days before on their way in a
stolen automobile from Oklahoma to
Phoenix. They are also wanted in
Montana for killing an officer there.
Mrs. Burch, the widow, is a trained
nurse at ST. Joseph's hospital, where
her husband died. She nursed Mrs.
John Kelly of Flagstaff last spring
following Mrs. Kelly's operation at
st. Joseph's.
The Staying was condemned in a
joint resolution passed by the state

TONGUES OF FLAME" BIG
MEIGHAN-PARAMOUNT FILM

Tongues of Flame" adapted from
the novel by that name by Peter Clark
Marfarlane, brings Thomas Meighan
to the screen at the Orpheum theater
next Tuesday and Wednesday in the
kind of role in which the public likes
him best.
Tom plays "Hell Fire" Harrington,
recently returned World war veteran
who takes up the practice of law in a
one-horse town. And it is only half
heartedly that Harrington enters upon
this profession. He has been "over
there" seen all there is to life, as he
thinks. Anything that happens now
is of little consequence.
1t is not long before Harrington dis
covers that he has missed the most
wonderful thing in life-romance.
And it's double-barreled romance,
at that! Harrington's position in the
firm of John Boland, the town CAPT
talist, brings on delightful affair
with the millionaire's beautiful daugh-
ter, Billie. The other girl in the case
is a little Indian school teacher who
worships Harrington in silence.
Bessie Love plays the role Of the
half breed girl, Lahleet. Eileen Percy
is cast as Billie Boland and Burton
Churchill is her father. Cyril Ring,
Nick Thompson and others complete
the strong supporting cast.

commission from putting into effect

concluding chapter of the two years
fight on the part of the state COM
missions and interested citizens of
the country to obtain the reductions
according to Amos A. Belts, member
of the Arizona corporation commits
sion, and chairman of the fourth
zone.
The reduced rates will now go into
effect on March /, 1925, Mr. Belts
said, and win add 'finis" to the long
fight waged to secure them. Inciden-
tally, he stated, the reduced rates Of
interstate express shipments into and
out of Arizona which become effective
in less than a month, will result in a
saving of more than $1,000,000 an
nually to the shippers and citizens of
the state.
The reductions in Arizona will be
approximately 27 per cent on the
average less than the present express
rates, Mr.. Belts stated. Notice that
the court of equity had refused the in
junction was received by Mr.. Belts in
a message from John E. Benton, gen
eral solicitor for the National Asso-
citation of Railroad and Utilities COM
missioners, supplemented later by a

Flagstaff Wins From Kingman

In a game featured by close ac-
curate passing Flagstaff high schooi
won their first basketball game of
the season from Kingman high school,
After the first few minutes of play
it was apparent that Flagstaff had
the superior team although the re-
peated failure of Lockwood, Rodriguez
and Schwarz in easy tries for the bas-
ket caused uneasiness among the
Flagstaff rooters. Conrard, however,
proved to have an accurate eye for
the cage from the very start of the
game, and as the second quarter
started Lockwood also located the
basket. Rodriguez and Schwarz con-
tributed to the score in the last half,
as the team warmed to the work and
the Kingman defense crum5led. With
the score 35 to 16 at the end of the
third quarter, Brinton replaced Con-
rard and Weidner went in for
Schwarz. The game ended 81 to 18.
Long and Harris were Kingman's
high point men with six points each,
while Wheeler, former Flagstaff boy
was their best floorman.
The hneups: Flagstaff-Conrard,
IF; Rodriguez, If; Lockwood. c; Runke,
lg; Schwarz, rg; Weidner, sub. King
man-Long, IF; Porter, If; Roe, c;
Wheeler, rg; Ricca, lg; Harris, sub.
Substitutions-Flagstaff: Cameron

ton for Conrard. Kingman: Harris for
Porter, Blair for Ricca.
Friday, today, the Holbrook high
school sends both their boys and
girls teams here for contest. The
Flagstaff girls won while the boys
lost in an early season brush at Hol-
brook. The girls maintain they can
"do it again" while the boys are just
as equally certain they won't "do it
again"
Coach Broderick has developed a
strong boys team, but with the inn
provement shown in recent weeks and
the spirit of victory that is with the
Flagstaff gang it will be real tussle
for the game with neither team ia
vored to win.
