Perhaps most of the members of
the committee had been talked into a
condition too weak to travel farther
by the propagandists of Los Angeles
who insist that all the mighty river is
for is to furnish them water and
power and who therefore are trying
to have the dam built at Boulder can
yon or somewhere else as near Los
Angeles as possible, whether there is
feasible damsite there or not.
On it may be they were convinced of
the merits of Los Angeles claims
and that there was no use Of seeing
Glen Canyon.
Anyhow, none of the senator's ex-
eept Wesley L. Jones of Washington
and Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona
came here to visit Glen Canyon.

CITY TAXES NOW HIGHER
BECAUSE OF WATER; WILL
DROP AGAIN NEXT YEAR
Here's some good news.

Here's some good news.
City taxes will be much lower next
year
The rate this year is $2.32 on each
500. Next year, it will not be more
than $1.74, perhaps below $1.65, says
City Clerk Clarence t. Pulliam.
There has been considerable criti-
cism of city council by persons not
wise to conditions who believe council
has greatly increased operating ex-
penses and that that is the reason the
tax rate is so much higher this year
The fact is that the rate, which
was SLOT last year, would have been
only $1.00 this year, considering the
increase in valuation during the II
months up to June 30 this year, but
for the water Improvements.
This year council levied taxes Of
$27, ,693.44 for general purposes and
$13,216 for sewer and park bonds-or
a total of $40,9O944. This, on tax
able valuation of $4,057,3 1852, would
have made our tax rate 81.
But we had to take care of two
years interest on the new water inn
provement bonds and $1,000 for the
sinking fund for those bonds out of
this years taxes, or an additional
amount of $53,25O, which made the
total to be raised, $94, 4,159.44, and the
rate $2.32.
But next year we raise only one
years interest on the water bonds and
thousand dollars for the sinking
fund, a total of $26,125. Assuming
there is no increase in taxable valua-
lions, and making the 10 percent in
crease in taxes allowed by law for
general and other purposes, permits a
levy Of $43, ,703.74, which, added to the
water bonds levy of $27,125, makes
grand total of $70,803.74. This,
against this years valuation, would
make our rate $1.74, and the increase
in taxable valuation probably will put
it down to $1.65 and may even make
it as low as $1.60.
A lot of consolation in that. Sup
pose we do have higher taxes this
year. We are getting a water system
adequate for many years to come, the
revenue from which will in the course
of few years help drive our tax rate
lower and lower

WEATHERFORD HOTEL TO
BE ENLARGED In SPRING

John w. Weatherford's Hotel
Weatherford will be reopened in a
very few days now, under the manage
ment of Mrs Weatherford. A large
force of men have been busy several
weeks rearranging some of the rooms,
plastering, painting, installing phones,
switches and chandeliers in each
room. New carpets and furniture be-
gan to arrive the last of last week.
Mr.. Weatherford says the hotel will
be one of the best in the state, though
not as large as he wishes. He plans
however, adding to the present As
rooms early next summer, building a
five-story addition on the rear, with
65 rooms, each with bath; then later
adding another story to the present
structure and installing elevator serv-
ice.

HYDRA HEADED
CABBAGE

Not only can mammoth cabbage
be grown around Flagstaff, but
anyone who knows how can grew
them in clusters.
S. G. Swanson, whose ranch east
of here under his skilful manage
ment produces some whopping big
crops, was in town with Mrs. Swan
son Saturday and they brought
along his latest development in
cabbage-culture, a single stalk on
which there were seven marketable
size and one smaller head, all per-
fectly formed and firm and the
bunch weighing about 20 pounds.
Mr.. Swanson wouldn't tell how
he did it, but he says what's the use
in raising single cabbage to a
stalk when you may as well raise
seven or eight. They are on dis
play at Rickel & Hilkins.

INDIANS FINED FOR
KILLING FEMALE DEER

Jack Fuss, county game warden,
trailed two Navajo Indians 18 miles
through the snow on Indian Flats,
north of Kendrick park, last week un-
til he had run them down and lodged
them in jail in Flagstaff for killing
doe.
Running them down wouldn't have
been much of feat, except that they
were mounted and Jack was afoot. He
had to sleep out under the cedars one
night, without a bed. The Indians
are from Leupp. They had left the
carcass after the kill, taking only the
hide.
The Indians we're tried by Justice of
Peace Tom Pulliam yesterday and
sentenced to pay $25 each or spend
25 days in jail. They pleaded guilty,
and will pay. One of them had a
hunting license but was not the one
who shot the deer.

SUNNY JIM MAKES BIG
HIT WITH SUNNY FOLKS

The greatest JOY some men get out
of life is in helping others with their
talents, turning on their lights freely
in dispelling gloom, just to keep old
man Dependency down in the region
where it is really too hot to work.
Baron j. V. Auriemma, with voice
that has filled the "Blue Grotto" III
the Bay of Naples and bigger halls
where the admission was greater, took
on a fund raising campaign for the
Salvation Army and made a big
streak across the northern part Of the
state He cut out ''the baron" part
and waded in just as Sunny jim"
He made his spaghetti parties" fa-
nous; he sang for all and everybody
who would "kick in" for the Salvation
Army fund If Sunny Jim" got any
thing out Of his heart-to-heart tour,
it was in teaching his friends how to
cook and eat spaghetti. He was ut
terly surprised the way cowpuncher
could spin rope around himself, but
not a bit more so than the cow
puncher was when he saw Sunny
Jim spin spaghetti south like bunch
of angle worms hunting home.
1t is interesting to know that "Sun-
ny jim" sung his way through, and
after deducting his personal expenses
he turned over to the Salvation Army
net, from his trip across Gods coun-
try, the following;
Holbrook, $500; McNary, S611.47;
Winslow, $641.34; Flagstaff, S1O86.31;
Williams and Grand Canyon. S416.61;
Ashfork. $114; Seligman, 1925; King
man. $55810; Oatman, $110.75; total,
$4223.5 58.

MAY HAVE NEW TOURIST
CAMP GROUND AT RIORDAN

Ed McGonigle last week bought the
Riordan .sawmill and all the buildings
there on behalf Of his Lightning De-
livery Co. Clarence J. Beale repre-
sented the sellers in the transaction.
Mr.. NcGonigle does not intend to
resume numbering but will sell the
machinery and very likely will rent
the store and cottages, or sell them,
to be used for tourist camp ground.
There is fine water there and with so
many buildings the place could easily
be made convenient camp ground
and no doubt could be made very
popular.

thanks for a specially fine combina-

 Professor Mahin's assertion that Intercollegiate athletics have been Icommercialized and professional was declared untrue. Director St. John pointed out that the Ohio State football schedule for dozen years have been almost solely confined to of the Big Ten, or to tra- ditional opponents In Ohio. ,
 The charge that football is detri- mental to health of players was de- clared by Dr.. Wilce to be contrary to facts, pointing. out that increased emphasis is being placed on careful physical preparation of players. He declared that few major injuries sus- tained during a football season were nearly always due to failure to ob- serve precautions issued to team members by trainers and team phy- sicians.
 Professor Mahin's. statement that the western conference lis without faculty control of athletics" was branded as utterly false by Director St. John. At Ohio State for example, he explained. intercollegiate athletics are directly controlled by an athletic board of nine members, five of whom are faculty representatives.
 Reference to Commissioner John l.. Griffith of the western conference, as an arbitrator of eligibility pro- tests" also was challenged. Director St. John explained that Major Grif- fifth was employed by conference ath letic directors to assist in maintain ing high standards in college sports.

VISITING NURSE ASSN.

A representative of the national organization of public health nurs- ing will make a survey of the work of the local association, coming to New Britain on April 18th. It is expected that through the sugges- tions of this representative the To- cal organization will extend Its work. The nursing service is for all who care to avail themselves of the, rriyiIege of calling upon it. Much york is being done among those who need daily visit, and who are willing to pay for the cost of it, as we'll as among those who are un- able. but who are sorely in need of the help the nurse can give. Dur ing the last month ike nurses have made over 1000 calls. The visiting nurse association has grown from a small beginning in 1905 to its present capacity for care of the sick, and is looking forward to greater and more efficient fulfllment of the city's needs.
