PRESIDENTS COMMISSION
TOLD WHAT CATTLEMEN
NEED FOR THEIR RELIEF

The presidents agricultural COM
mission on Saturday completed its
first week of study Of the livestock
industry but was not ready to present
TO Mr. Coolidge its recommendations
for relief legislation.
Cattlemen told the commission of
conditions facing ranchers in the west
and suggested means of relieving the
situation.
They said the whole cattle business
had taken a definite turn for the bet
ter with its strategic position the
strongest since "the' post war col
lapse"
Future financing of the industry,
the statement said "must have in
view restoration of its credit on a
basis of permanency. What is desir-
able now is placing the cattle pro-
duction on safe, sound and sane
basis.
"The cattle industry needs a tariff
on hides, this market being dump
ing ground at present for the surplus
hides of the world.
"What we anticipate is condition
where cattle supply and beef demand
will be more evenly balanced, relieving
the beef market chronic congestion.

ARIZONA MINING INDUSTRY
VALUED AT $3.50, 937, ,21S

Arizona's mining industry, greatest
of the states resources, has a total
valuation of S260,937,2 ,218 for the 1924
25 year, according to figures fixed by
the state board of equalization for tax
purposes.
The 1924-25 figures represent de
crease of about $25,000,000 as COM
pared with the preceding year, due
principally to methods of taxation ap-
piled by the state tax commission, it
was explained.
Abut Al per cent of the total valua-
ton of all property in the state is as
sessed against the mines and asso-
ciated industries. The percentage this
year represents slight decrease oven
the percentage year ago.
Gila county continues the largest
mining district of the state, having
properties valued at $76,800,987. CO.
chise county is second in the list with
properties valued at $66,050,175. Then
come Yavapai county with $54,056,-
$50; Pinal county with $28,865, $40,
and Pima county with $19,526,422.

from a trip about the city attempt
ing to collect bills due the firm, in
order to pay his creditors whom he
owed for flour and other supplies,
his partner and friends said.
His quest was unsuccessful, and

his debts destroys himself, Sun
You, in the language of his coun-
trymen, "went to his fathers, his
honor clear"

PREDATORY ANIMAL MEN
AFTER STOCK KILLERS

Predatory animal control in the
state of Arizona is being concen-
trated on lions and coyotes, M. K.
Musgrave, director, stated last week.
The winter and early spring months
are the big ones in the work and more
workers than ever are used. Sixteen
men are now in the field in addition
to c. E. Gilham, assistant and Mr..
Musgrave himself.
Another lion hunter will be placed
in the Catalina mountains again this
spring.
The number of lions in Arizona is
decreasing, but not very fast. Most
of them are in the rough country and
are very hard to locate They con-
tinue their raiding work and are esti-
mated to kill one to two animals a
week. They attack deer, cattle, wild
turkeys and other game.
Damage to crops and animals from
coyotes has been reduced materially
in the state. The work of the de-
partment has been concentrated where
the damage has been the most, the
small farmer suffering from the ac-
tivities of these animals.
MdIly peOpIS nave LIie ldlS6 impress
sion that by killing the coyotes, the
number of jackrabbits is increased, he
stated. This has been shown to be
false, as an examination of the stom-
achs Of one thousand OF these coyotes
killed, showed that but 127 had been
eating jackrabbits, while the majority
had been eating sheep and poultry. Of
the number 26 had been eating prairie
dogs.
Coyotes also do a great deal of
damage to watermelon crops. They
have taste for the ripe melons and
sneak into the patches and sound the
melons in some manner to select the
ripe ones for breaking. Each year a
large amount Of coyote poison is
scattered to counteract these water
melon raids. A considerable amount
of this poison is scattered near the
patches of the Hopi Indian village.
One instance was cited by the ami
NAL hunter of farmer in the vicinity
of Fort Lowell, who reported thou
sand dollar loss to his watermelon
crop by coyotes.

NOTED ARIZONA WOMAN
PROSPECTOR, PROMOTER
is DEAD In CANADA

Miss nellie eastman, who died Jan
uary 3 III Victoria, B. c., was one of
Arizonas most picturesque pioneers.
She came to the state in 1877 from
Washington, D. c., where she is said
to have been a Yankee spy in> the
Civil war. She spent three days in
Tucson last December renewing ac-
quaintances with pioneers whom she
had not seen for 30 years. At that
time she was on one of the biggest
mining deals of her life and her bust
ness took her to New York and other
eastern points before she left in No
yember for the north and her home
on the Yukon and Tanana rivers near
Koyukuk.
At the age of rs or 80, Miss Cash
man set a record. as the champion
woman musher of the world, when
she came to the states last year from
Alaska She mushed her dog team
and sled 750 miles in II days, break
ing her own trail the entire distance
from Koyukuk to Seward Alaska.
Miss eastman grub-staked half a
dozen of Arizona's present million
aires in the early sos in Tombstone,
Arizona, furnishing the men with
supplies on the gamble that they
would find strike" Funds secured
in this manner later grub-stakea her
for the long trip to Alaska where she
outfitted and mushed into the interior
One of the first women into Alaska,
she acted as nurse at many mining
camps, and the same time prospecting
and stalking her own claims. She
owned and operated II mines at the
time she was in Tucson last year.

HOW HORSE POWER
Is FIGURED OUT

To get clear idea of the term
horsepower" as it applies to power
producing mechanisms, we must go
back to the year 1865. At tat time
James Watt had perfected his steam
engine to degree that made it prac-
teal and he was trying to build a
market for it. Like all inventors, Watt
found great deal of opposition to
his efforts, and in order to stimulate
sales he first found it necessary to
educate the people to the value of his
invention.
Watt knew that he would have to
find some way of accurately contrast
ing the power of his steam engine
against the power of horses, because
the mine owners were not familiar
with any other form of power. His
first task, therefore, was TO find out
just how much power the average
work horse possessed, or, in other
words, just how much work horse
could do in certain length of time.
Watt conducted long series of
tests, and as a result he ascertained
that the average work horse could lifc
a weight of $50 pounds two and one
half miles per hour for ten hours a
day. To express this in other terms,
he found that the average horse could
do work equivalent to lifting $4,000
pounds one foot in one minute.
The term horsepower" therefore,
means the amount of power required
to lift 33 900 pounds one foot in one
minute. 1t has exactly the same
meaning whether applied to a steam
engine, a gasoline engine or an cleo
tric motor.
The device most commonly used in
determining actual horsepower of a
motor is called the dynamometer. This
word is a combination of the two
words, dynamo" and "meter" 1t
uring dynamo
In testing an automobile for actual
horsepower, the gasoline motor and
the electric dynamo are hitched to-
gether The gasoline motor is then
started, and its capacity for work is
determined by suitable resistance and
measuring instruments.
Electrical horsepower is measured
in watts, one mechanical hors epower
being equal to TAG watts of electric
current. In other words, TAG watts is
equal to $4,000 foot pounds per min
ute.
In the dynamometer test all factors
are taken into consideration. The
motor is put on a stand and connected
up just as it is when in use. It is
then started and as it develops
power the indicating dials show the
exact amount of resistance offered.
The dials show when the motor
reaches the top of its power curve;
that is, the speed at which the motor
develops its maximum of power. If,
at the top of its power curve, the
dials show that enough electrical units
to equal fifty horsepower are operat-
ing against it, then the actual horse
power of that motor is fifty horse
power.
