FIRST TRUSTEES
ARCH ROOF IN THE
STATE BUILT HERE

The arch roof put on the Sam
Prichtard building on Front street
attracted a great deal of comment
and attention from builders and
contractors of the city. 1t is a
new type of roof, erected under
European patents, and is the first
to be put up in Arizona. Not more
than six others have been built in
the west v K Gates, representa-
tive, of the TRUSTEES Arch Roof
week to superintend construction
Ed A. Johnson, highway engineer,
who investigated the new roof a
few months ago, was responsible
for the connection between build
er and roof contractors.
The roof is curved over the so
by 100 foot building. and requires
no pillars or rafters for support.
1t was constructed and looked very
much like an enormous set of chill
dren's building toys, the curved
roof being built of short pieces
fastened it together at diagonals,
and fastened with patented bolt
and washer, which will keep all
joints tight as long as the building
lasts.
The type of roof was patented in
Germany fifteen years ago. It's use
has become general throughout Eu
rope in modern building. 1t was
first brought to this country about
two years ago. 1t is spreading
throughout the east. An office was
opened in Los Angeles this fall.

Star Car Making
Records On Hills

In the last three weeks several
new hill climbing records have
been made by Star stock touring
car driven by Bill Weeks, driver
for the Durant Motor company of
California.
The last record to be made was
on the famous San Marcos Pass,
located near Santa Barbara, Cali
fornia.
Weeks is now invading the north
west for the Durant factory and
expects to create some new hill
climbing records in this section.
Those who have witnessed the
various climbs by Star stock cars
in the last two years claim the Star
to be one of the greatest perform
ers in the low cost transportation
field today, according to Durant Of
ficialS.

STOCKMEN ARE NOT
PLEASED WITH THE
PERMITTEE SYSTEM

Livestock owners who range al
most 100000 cattle and more
than three times that number of
sheep on the grazing lands in the
national forests will not be per
mitted to acquire any vested rights
in their grazing permits or leases
if congress follows the recommen-
datiOns of Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine. Presumptively the secre-
tary expresses the views of the
Coolidge administration.
Cattlemen and sheep men have
been making a hard drive to secure
changes in the grazing system and
they have been keenly interested in
the stand that Secretary Jardine
would take. They have maintained
that what they have asked for is
vital to the livestock industry and
they emphasize it's Importance to
the general public by pointing out
that there are some $1,000 of them
who use the lands in the national
forests under the permit system,
their herds and f1Ocks representing
20 per cent of the cattle and 28
per cent of the sheep in II western
states.
The chief objection to the permit
system as it has been developed is
the uncertainty that surrounds the
stOckman's use of the range. He
can never tell when his permit will
be modified, the size of his herd
reduced, or his grazing fees in
creased. The stockmen insist that
they should have clearly defined
rights in the use of the public graz
ing lands which they can maintain
in court, if necessary, and which
would be a transferable asset,
Moreover, they contend that the
government should not charge
them fees comparable with estab-
lished grazing fees on private lands
but only what it costs to admin
lister the grazing system.

GREAT PLANS
FOR HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
THIS DISTRICT

A number of important highway
improvements are planned by the
engineers in charge of the Hol-
brook district office, among which
seems to be the surfacing of the
highway west, from Moqui to Can
yon Diablo, and the improvement
of the really bad part of the high
way from Canyon Diablo to Canyon
Padre.
D. K. Eldredge, of Phoenix, in
charge of maintenance work, was
visitor here yesterday and stat
aed that a road camp is being es
tablished, with full complement
of equipment and tools, to take
care of the maintenance work on
the Moqui-Canyon Diablo section.
lie was accompanied by John De-
Witt, of the HolbroOk office. l.. E.
Bates, who has charge of the camp
at Dennison, will assist in the work.
District engineer w. r. HutchinS
has been going over the situation
carefully since the establishment
of the office at Holbrook. He stat
ed this week that bids will soon
be called for the surfacing of the
highway from Moqui to the canyon,
the plans having already been
worked out in detail, and funds for
the improvement being available.
Plans are also ready for the two
bridges between Winslow and
Joseph City, one at Manila Wash
and the other at Tanner Wash. Bids
will be advertised for within a few
days on these two projects. The
two bridges are identically alike,
each 100 feet long, crossed by a 20
foot roadway. The bridge across
the Little Colorado at Holbrook is
being rushed to completion.
Two concrete dips just east OF
Winslow will be constructed be-
fore winter weather sets in. En-
gineers state that much other high
way improvement is contemplated
for Navajo and Apache counties.

New Mexico and Arizona
Showing Business Revival

Conditions in Arizona are pros
porous, with general improvements
assured for 1926 with cattle and
copper mining rejecting greatest
increases. p. G. Spilsbury, presi-
dent of the Arizona Industrial con-
gress, revealed before the Pacific
coast regional advisory board meet
ing at Los Angeles. Conditions
show an upward trend and are gen
orally better than in several years.
Range conditions are excellent
following a dry spring and sum-
mer and there is an excellent de-
mand both for fat and feeder stock.
Arizona mined in excess of $780,
100000 worth Of minerals in 1925,
with 700,000,000 pounds of copper
topping its list.
Conditions in New Mexico show
ed a marked improvement over the
previous year, with a better out
look for livestock and mining in
1926.

GOVERNMENT
WINS VICTORY
IN THE GRAND
CASE

Judge George M. Borquin of the
Montana district of the United
States court Tuesday ordered de-
cree for the plaintiff in the case
Of the United States against G.
Henry StetsOn and others quietirg
title OF the plaintiff to the lands of
the Grand Canyon National Park
commonly known as the Cameron"
Grand Canyon platinum placer
claims. The defendants in the case
were G. Henry Stetson of Pasa-
dena and Philadelphia, H. B. Stet-
son, his wife, and w. M. Fowler.
II. n. Williams, e. E. Hopkins, T.
T. Potter, H. N. Niles and C. ].
Stilz, business associates of Stet-
son and Ralph H. Cameron. Har-
old Baxter of Phoenix, special as
slstant to the attorney general, con-
Quoted the prosecution for the gov
ernment. The case was submitted
to Judge Borquin November 7.
Borquin sat at Phoenix during the
absence of Judge Fred c.. Jacobs.
The defense, as finally presented
before Judge Borquin, asserted the
right to make mineral entries on
the lands in question in spite of
the decision of the United States
supreme court in the case of Cam
eron against the United States, up
holding the validity of the reserve
for the Grand Canyon National
Monument against mining claims
subsequently located. Mr.. Baxter
said.
The defendants sought to escape
the consequences of the supreme
court decision, according to the
opinion of Judge Borquin, by ap-
peals to points" which they claim
ed were neither presented nor de-
cided by the court. zone being,'
says the e~opinion, "that the statue
provides for reservation of objects
and, giving due heed to the con-
struction, the Canyon is not an OBJ
Ject. The argument better be pre-
sented to the supreme court. How
ever, the point is not impressive,
the opinion continues, "for that sta
tute historic landmarks, than
which is none greater than the
Canyon and of that has been so
recognized from the immemorial. ="
According to Mr.. Baxter, pend
ing the litigation, Judge Jacobs
granted the defendants an order
permitting them to do their 1925
annual assessment work last July.
Orders were also made which al
lowed the defendants to do pros
pecting work in the Grand Canyon
in the endeavor to obtain evidence
Of mineral value. When the case
came to trial, Mr.. Baxter said no
evidence was offered as to any dis
cOverieS of platinum.
Unless an appeal is taken from
the district court to the circuit
court Of appeals or to the supreme
court, Judge BOrquin's order eff
fectually disposes of this long
drawn out litigation, and also af-
fords a precedent to United States
Registrar Ferrel in the land office
litigation heretofore submitted to
him for his decision upon the can
collation. of a number of other min
eral claims in the Grand Canyon.

Prehistoric Teeth
Found In Petrified
Forest Near Winslow

The exhibit of petrified teeth and
scales that have been on display
in the window of The Mail this
week, was found a week ago last
Sunday in the Painted Desert by
Sam and James Curtis and Fred
Hipkoe. The boys had run out the
Painted Desert road to place a sign
indicating a way to the Petrified
forest which had been rediscover-
ed last summer. In wandering
about in the forest, the boys first
discovered bits of petrified bone
with peculiar corrugations on one
side. Next a number of the teeth
were found.
The fossils are found only in
two strata of the shale in the des-
ert. A popularity of the speci-
mems, is that those bones found in
grey stratum took the grey color
while those found in the purple
stratum are purple Superficial ex-
cavations failed to disclose any
more or larger specimens.
While these fossils are the re-
mains of an animal of some remote
age of the past, it is not at all
probable that the animal was a
dinosaur, because these specimens
were found in deposits of the Trias-
sic age, which is much more re-
cent geological age than the Mes
sozoic in which the dinosaur thriv-
ed. Whether the teeth and bones
are the remains of a land or sea
animal it is difficult for a person
unfamiliar with such things to say,
as, by the nature of the deposits,
it could be either.
The specimens will be sent to the
University of Arizona to ascertain
the history of the animal.

only witness of the tragedy had
been taken by friends to Flagstaff.
The body was taken to Williams.
