By the Associated pres..

By the Associated f'ress
NEW YORK. April 1S.-Gen.
Gerardo Machado, Pgesident-elect of
Cuba. who arrived here today from
Washington for a two-week visit. to-
night issued a statement predicting
an increase in the commercial rela
tions of this city and his country.
Gen. Machado expressed his salts
faction in the constant courtesies"
shown him by President Coolidge,
whom he described as an "austere
personality" and said he was pleased
with the attitude of the United States
Government toward Cuba.
THE impressions / have of my visit
to Washington cannot be deeper nor
more satisfactory, Gen. Machado
said.
Il am especially grateful for the
opportunity / was given to visit
Mount Vernon and to lay a wreath of
flowers on behalf of my compatriots
upon the tomb of George Washing
ton, first isk war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen.
Mount Vernon will be. at all times
a source of the greatest inspiration
for the sons of this continent. The
austere personality of President Cool
idge acquires relief near that mag
niflcent scene, living as he 1oesa at
the White House, in the center of the
city, that most powerfully revives and
consecrates the historic past of this
glorious nation

necessary If the movement of traffic Is

The engineer stated that there was
definite reason for selecting each of
the intersections at which the left.

The company was operating under

AS result of the first raid the

that the real object was to have de-
natured alcahol redistilled and sold to

GOT 200 PENNIES IN
PAYMENT STREET TAX

Judge w. H. Anderson, who is coli
lecting the street tax from Flagstaff
people, ran into a clerk last week who
said he'd paid his in Phoenix. The
judge asked him to bring his receipt
with him to the store and he would
call again to see it. He called and
the man hadn't been able to find the
receipt. So the judge said he'd have
to have the So. The man took out
some rolls of coin, tore them open and
dumped 200 pennies on the glass
showcase for the judge to pick up.
'.Do you want to know what | think
of you?" the-judge asked. No, and
don't care, either" was the reply.
"Well," the judge said, entirely Will
ing to reveal the secret, II think you
are stinker," and gathered up the
pennies and carried them away.
So far, the Judge says, only one man
has refused to pay the street tax. He
is a professional man and his refusal
is based on the assertion that he has
not paid in three years. 1t is planned
to soon give him opportunity to pay
all three years and something be

SHOULD HAVE FISH
FARM ON OAK CREEK

There is an ancient saying that tells
US that the man is blessed who
makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before.
If this is true, the sportsmen of the
Verde district and Flagstaff are nine
times blessed, for they are making
nine brook trout grow today where
but one was able to survive in years
gone by.
AS was pointed out by Frost Ben
ham Thursday in his talk before the
combined Rotary clubs of the Verde
district and Flagstaff, the two rear
ing ponds which have been establish
ed on Oak Creek are going to save
80 per cent of the young fry that are
received from the. hatchery instead of
the less than 10 per cent that would
survive if the fry we're simply turned
loose in the creek.
Careful observations have, shown
that not more than one baby trout in
10 survives if he is put into the water
to take care of himself when so small
as the hatcheries ship him--some
three-euarters of an inch in length.
Three or four months of careful feed
ing and protection in the rearing
ponds brings him to a size of between
three and four inches and when he is
allowed to fend forshimself he is able
to do it effectually.
Some 10000 trout fry have been
handled this season in the rearing
ponds and the loss is less than 10 per
cent. This means that there will be
100000 young fish-not fry--put in
the creek this year and every year
hereafter; this in turn means that in
the course of two or three years
more, Oak Creek will become once
more one of the finest and most ac-
cessible streams in the southwest and
will attract fishermen from every
part of the United States, whose Ii
cense fees and expenditures will bring
a great revenue to the state and to
the district.-Jerome News.
1t is claimed by some experts that
the state fish hatchery in the White
mountains has not been a very great
success in Matching trout because the
water is too warm. Most of the fry
die when transplanted to other
streams.
