EXPLORERS FIRED
FROM AMBUSH In
NEAR CHEVELON

Ray Curry and A. R.SHipkoe dis
covered Sunday that the times
when men should watch for attack
from ambush in this land of Ari-
zona are not altogether in the past
While exploring the country
around Bull Point on Chevelon can
yon Sunday morning, they were
startled by the report of d rifle
close at hand. Immediately an
other report followed and another
and another. About that time a
bullet whizzed past so close to the
travellers that it made their ears
ring and they are unable to tell yet
whether another bullet almost hit
them or it was the same one when
they overlook it. Anyway, they
made short work of getting back
to their car and drove on to Waters
rager station, where the spent the
ranger station, where they spent
the remainder of the day un-
molested.
Who, why, wherefore and what
that is what they are wondering.

Hunt Won't Let u. S.
Hang Indian at Pen

Federal officials were denied by
state officials authority asked to
hang Dixon Sujynami, Hualpai In
dian convicted of murder in the
United States district court at Pres
scott, on the scaffold of the state
prison at Florence. Sujynamie
was convicted and sentenced to
hang for the murder of a taxi
driver.
AS result, the Indian will be
hanged at Whipple Barracks, a
United States military fort. Fol
lowing refusal by state officers of
permission to use the scaffold in
state prison, the board of super
visors of Yavapai county was asked
by the United States marshal to
erect a scaffold at Prescott for the
mans execution, but it was later
decided to have the hanging done
at the fort
Sujynamie was convicted in fed
eral court at Prescott before Judge
Fred c. Jacobs of first degree mur-
der and was given the death pen
atty, The date of the execution
has not yet been set. The killing
occurred on government military
reservation.
Following the conviction, United
States Marshal George A. Mauk ap-
piled to Governor Hunt for per-
mission to hang the Indian on the
state scaffold at Florence, offering
to pay the state a rental for the
privilege. The governor informed
Mr.. Mauk that the matter would
have to be taken up through Ward
en- Robert B. Sims of the prison.
Through H. S. McCluskey, secre-
tary to the governor, the matter
was proposed to Mr. Sims and the
latter flatly refused to permit the
hanging in the prison. He gave as
his chief reason the fact that an
execution at the prison upsets the
morale of the prisoners for ten
days prior to the hanging and for
several days after the execution
has taken place. During that peri
cd, he declared, it is hard to disci-
pline the prisoners.

BOND ISSUE SHOULD BE PASSED

NNHERE has been considerable street corner
Il discussion for the past few weeks concerning
the bond issue proposed by the county super
visors. We believe that the people will approve
when the real facts are known.
There is considerable balance of old accumu-
lated bills for which the present board is not re-
sponsibe, also a judgment recently rendered and
sustained by the Supreme court of the state in
favor Of the contractors who built the bridge
across the Little Colorado just east of Winslow,
which amounts to $4,000 and costs. Altogether
the obligations of the county, which there are no
funds to meet, amount to 100000.
These obligations must be met, and there are
only two ways to meet them. One is direct taxa
ton, which means an excessive burden for the
next year. The other is a bond ISSUE
The county can realize per cent premium
on a twenty-year issue of 5 per cent bonds and
the spread will relieve the present burden by dis
tributing it over number of years.
We sincerely hope the supervisors will use
good judgment and issue the bonds

Pincetl Told to Get
In the Army or Get
Out of the Country

Bob Pincetl, of Winslow, who
went to France three months ago
on a six months visit to the land
of his birth, was notified by the
military authorities in Paris few
days ago that, despite his Ameri-
can citizenship papers, that cOun-
try still regards him as a citizen of
France, and that he would have to
serve an enlistment in the French
army. The only alternative was to
leave the country at once, they
told him.
Pincetl appealed to the American
consul, but without satisfaction, as
the American authorities in France
are powerless to enforce recogni-
ton by that country of citizenship
papers granted to Frenchmen who
make this country their home. So,
after being told that the rate of
pay in the French army is equiva-
lent to 1c a day in United States
money, Bob decided to cut his visit
short and return to WinslOw. He
embarked at Havre on July Is and
is due in New York today.

quires their spending many hours
in Needles reported that during the
last few days there have been a
number of deaths occasioned there
by the extreme heat, the mercury
registering the latter part of last
week as high as 125 to 13O in the
shade. Several of the deaths were
among employees of the Fred Har-
vey hotel, and one was a Santa Fe
carpenter, Andrew Brennan.
I All cities of the southwest ex-
perienced unprecedented high tenn

wave almost as severe as the one
at Needles, and, during which two
! persons were prostrated, later dy-
ing from the effects. The south

Prescott, where the thermometer
registered SO degrees Friday, suf-

had temperature of 11S degrees,
the highest for thirty years. and
concerning the hot spell, the Re-
publican says:
consistent with extremely hot
weather in large section of the
west and high temperatures for
several days through the east,
Phoenix yesterday experienced a.
record high temperature when the
thermomet"r reached a maximum
of 11S degrees. This temperature,
according to r. Q. Grant, observer
of the Phoenix office of the United
States weather bureau. was the
highest recorded in Phoenix since
the establishment of the bureau
here in 1895, thirty years ago.
The highest previous tempera-
ture recorded in Phoenix in the pc
riod was III degrees, reached on
July 3, 1907, Mr.. Grant said.
Temperatures of 124 degrees in
Needles, 116 degrees in Yuma, and
106 degrees in Tucson were report
ed officially yesterday, while Flag
staff reported 92 degrees, all excep-
tionally high marks. The eastern
and middle western sections of the
country have been experiencing a
heat wave for the last several days,
according to reports
Temperatures of 80 degrees in
Los Angles, 10S degrees in Sacra-
mento, and 108 degrees in Boise,
Idaho, were reported yesterday,
Mr.. Grant said. all reflecting the
heat wave in the west and partic-
ularly in Central California This
temperature in Los Angeles was
declared unusually high, since the
warmest season ordinarily arrives
there during September.
"The heat wave was attributed
by Mr. Grant to a high pressure
area east of the western district
affected, having the result of
'damming up the warm weather"

EXAMINERS TO
MAKE: REPORT
ON SITUATION
INTHISCOUNTY

F. l.. Edinborough, chief state
examiner, and NJ. A. Murphy, dep
uty. who were in HolbroOk last
week to investigate the situation
necesSitating an issue of 100000
bonds to Iiquidate the debts of the
county ,and who left the county
seat Friday after making a cursory
examination, were ordered back by
a telegram from Governor Hunt,
who wishes full report on the
situation, the number and amounts
of outstanding and unpaid war
rants, and to whom drawn.
The examiners returned to Hol-
brook Saturday after having made
inspection of the books in the JUS
and are now working with County
Treasurer George Schaeffer in get
ting their report in shape to pre-
sent before the meeting of the
board of supervisors next Wednes
day morning, at which time the
bond issue will be authorized, un-
less an alternative plan can be
perfected by which the indebted
ness of the county can be paid off.
The Indebtedness of the county
amounts to about 100000. Includ-
ed in the amounts are about $751;
900 of unpaid warrants, several
thousand dollars of interest on
them, and judgment for $4,000
rendered against the county in
favor of the contractors of the new
highway bridge at Joseph City.
The supervisors planned the
bond issue so that payment of the
county's debts can be made at once.
and the burden of payment ex-
tended over a long period of time.
Opposition to the bond plan de-
veloped after it became known that
the supervisors favored settling
the affairs of the county by that
method, and the issuance of bonds
was delayed so that opponents may
make full investigation of the sit
uation. Final course will be de-
termined upon Wednesday morning.

In THE LAND OF
ENCHANTMENT
BY INDIAN MILLER
("CRAZY THUNDER"
(From National Old Trails Tourist
Daily News.)

(From National Old Trails Tourist
Daily News)
THIS is the land of enchantment! /!
A spell has been cast upon
this region. From Gallup to Will
liams lies this land of wonders,
bound by silver chains of enchant-
ment Ho!
The silent ruins of thousands Of
ancient villages and of tens of
thousands of isolated dwellings lie
under this turquoise sky. Around
about these ruins lie the things
! these dwellers left behind Pottery
bearing artistic designs wonder
fully executed, yucca sandals of a
people gone on, grinding utensils
which bespeak an agricultural >peo-
pie, reservoirs which bespeak a
prOvident people, dainty arrow
heads of petrified wood apparently
made by a people who could dis
tinguish the beautiful from the
ugly-these are some of the things
they left behind.
And they left their graves here
in this soil. With beautiful pot
terry around their heads the skele-
tons lie unnumbered through the
land.
We're they ever to rise again our
population would increase at least
a hundredfold
Who were these wonderful peo-
pies who were prosperous and ar
tistic agriculturists in this land
where the white man can not raise
a hill of beans?
They were red children of the
Creator, the forefathers of the
HOpis and the Zunis. peoples who
still thrive and are happy and ar
tistic and graceful and musical
in this land of wonders.
To them the land is not enchant-
ed. For them the rains never fail );
for the white man the rains fail to
fall, because the land is enchanted.
But the day will come when the
chains of enchantment shall be
broken, and white men may thrive
as the Indians do. 1t will still be
a land Of wonders. The Painted
Desert, the Grand Canyon, the
cliff dwellings,, Meteor Mountain,
and many other wonderful things
of this region will never be com
mon things. They will always be
world wonders.
The mirages may cease to be
miracles when the chain is broken,
but they will always cause won
derment.
The walls of the ancient ruins
will always be sacred, though
marred by the scribblings of rude
race
Let the chains be broken, let
fancy and the imagination be
wrecked, this region will still be
a land of worlds wonders.

To Take Pictures
Of Winslow Airport

Lieuts. John A. MacReady and A
w. Stevens, McCook Field pilot
and photographer, respectively,
will leave Dayton, Ohio, within a
few days to take approximately
1000 photographs from the air of
different points in the west. In adj
dition to taking pictures at Yellow
stone Park. Grand Canyon, and 9TH
er national parks, they will photo
graph the air landing ports along
the Santa Fe railroad, including
the ports of the Tri-State airway.
The photographing is a prelimi-
nary step toward establishing the
airmail line that is expected to
run within a short time from Kan
sas City by this route to the coast.
The work of photOgraphing the
different points will take about two
months, it is thought.

CATTLE INDUSTRY
In ARIZONA WILL
COME BACK, SAYS
ASSOCIATION HEAD

The cattle industry in Arizona,
second in Importance of all the
states industries, is coming back,
and when it does it will top the
list of production as measured in
millions, according to Henry C.
Boice, president Of the Arizona
Cattle Growers association, in an
address before a recent meeting OF
the Hiram club at Phoenix.
The cattle business is the best
business in the world, and cattle
constitute the best Investment that
a man can make, Mr.. BOice de-
clared. True, conditions have
changed in Arizona in the last
quarter OF a century, he admitted,
but after all Arizona is fundamen-
tally a cattle state. Seventy-five
per cent of it's surface is SuScep
tible to nothing else but live stock
grazing.
Cow punching on the great open
spaces used to be pretty much
matter of romance, Boice said, but
IL nave al
the romance out of it and reduced
it to a hard-fisted scramble for
nickels and pennies. He contrast
ed the good old days Of the open
range with the present-day meth
ods as best symboliZed by the
barbed wire fence, forever narrow
ing the limits of the operator and
destroying that former partnership
POLITICALLY referred to as existing
between God and the cowman, and
converting it into mere real estate"
In spite of these handicaps and
others which the speaker men
toned, Arizona is destined to be-
come the beef producing country
for that vast population now form
ing close at hand on the Pacific
coast. This fact and getting the
business on a business basis will
work to the advantage of Arizona
cattle growers, Mr.. Boice conclud
ed, declaring there was no doubt
in his mind as to the industry's
early return to prosperity.

Douglas Reappointed
State Veterinarian

Arizona's live stock board prob
lens have apparently been solved,
for the moment at least, by the re-
appointment of DR.. S. E. Douglas
as state veterinarian and the de-
clining of rendered designations of
the three members of the State
Live Stock Sanitary board, accord
ing to an announcement from the
office of Gov George w. P, Hunt.
Extensive conferences between
the governor and members of the
board which had ''fired" DR.. Doug
las, it was said, brought about an
agreement to bury the hatchet" in
the interest of harmony at a time
when the live stock industry of
the state is facing vital problems.
Governor Hunts reappointment
of DR.. Douglas is made retroactive
to June 10,or one day after the
office held by DR.. Douglas had been
declared vacant by members of the
Live Stock Sanitary board. DR..
Douglas, as result of the date of
appointment, it was said, will draw
full salary for the time that has
elapsed between his removal and
the actual announcement of the
retroactive appointment.
The governor, it was declared,
pointed out in the conferences that
DR.. Douglas relations with federal
live stock = officials are the best,
and that he1s thoroughly acquaint
ed with Arizona's relationship
with other states. The appoint
veterinarian, the governor de-
clared, would be almost certain to
produce results harmful to the
live stock industry of Arizona. The
governor also urged that the re-
tirement of the board on account
of personal differences also might
react to the serious disadvantage
of the industry.
His letter of reappointment to
DR.. Douglas and those declining
the designations of the board mem
bers were brief and did not go into
a discussion of the case.
The squabble originated during
the early part of June, when the
live stock board declared the office
of state veterinarian vacant. DR..
Douglas continued to serve until
last Tuesday, however, awaiting an
opinion from the attorney general
On the authority of the board to
declare the office vacant. The
opinion rendered Tuesday held
that the board was within its au-
thority in taking the action it did
