time in the purchase of the $2,000,000
bond issue of the Roosevelt Water

OUR NAVAJOS AMUSING
PEOPLE AT TUCSON

Five Navajo Indian medicine men,
on their way into Mexico, where they
will conduct a sacred hunt for deer,
using only bows and arrows, will per-
form some their esoteric dances for
the people of Tucson tomorrow night
in the lobby of the Santa Rita hotel.
These medicine men are being
brought from their tribal home in
northern Arizona by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Wetherill, proprietors of La Osa
guest ranch. Mrs Wetherill is a mem
Der of the Navajo tribe, having been
adopted into it through her valued as
sistance to the Navajos in their gov
ernment relations.
The dance tomorrow night will be
sponsored by the C System Travellers
Service, of which Malcolm Cummings
is the head, and who is paying for the
dance as a means of introducing the
wierd Navajo ritual performances in
Tucson and incidentally help pay the
expenses of the medicine men. Henry
Poppen, manager of the Santa Rita
will cooperate in the enterprise.
The five Navajos are being brought
here by Ben Wetherill, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Wetherill. They are com
ing from Flagstaff by automobile, and
may possibly continue on their way tc
La Osa the following day. From there
they will continue into Mexico where
the sacred deer hunt will be held

GEO. AINSWORTH TAKES
EIGHT LIONS SINCE DEC. 16

George Ainsworth of the Walnut
Creek district, who is connected with
the biological survey as government
predatory hunter, working under M.
e. Musgrave, has killed eight noun
tain lions since December 16 in the
Granite mountain and the Juniper
districts, it was stated today by
friends.
Mr.. Ainsworth, who hunts the cats
with three exceptionally well trained
hounds, is succeeding in ridding the
Walnut Creek country Of the destruc-
tive animals. The last lion, taken a
few days ago, was an unusually large
one; and in trailing it, Mr.. Ainsworth
found the remains of a horse, calf
and a deer, which it had killed.
The recent heavy fall of snow has
aided the dogs to great extent IN
trailing the animals. 1t IS believed
that deer hunting in the Walnut
Creek county will be much better next
fall with the destruction of the hons

KAIBAB TO BE NAME OF NEW
TRAIL INTO GRAND CANYON

A recommendation that the new
trail being constructed by the national
park service from the south rim of
the Grand Canyon down to the sus-
pension bridge be named the Kaibab
trail has been made by ]. r. Eakin,
superintendent Of the Grand Canyon
park.
Superintendent Eakin says that the
new trail will offer the short route
to the Kaibab forest on the north rim
of the canyon. The trail starts at a
point three miles east Of FL Tovar
and descends through wonderful
scenic route to the river and Phan-
tom ranch.
Despite the fact that severe winter
weather has visited the canyon, the
snow and cold have not halted the
work on the trail. The new route will
be completed in a few months.

GOVERNOR HUNT DIDN'T
STUTTER AT INAUGURAL

George w. P. Hunt became the
seventh governor of the state of Ari-
zona Monday morning, and at the
same time acquired the title of
George the Fifth" it being the be-
ginning of his fifth term as chief exc
cutive of the state.
The inaugural exercises were held
In the governors office in the capitol
and were very informal. 1t had been
planned to hold the Inauguration in
the house chambers but for some rea-
son the plan was changed at the last
moment and the governors office was
used.
There were no bitches in the pro-
gram and no delays. The ceremony
went according to schedule and with
a smoothness that was striking. 1t
was a seasoned performance. A per-
formance in which all the principal
roles were taken by veteran actors
who needed no prompting. They had
their parts letter perfect.
1t was the fifth time for the gov
ernor He had gone through such a
ceremony on four previous occasions
and he knew every cue The lines of
the inaugural exercise held nothing
anticipatory for him. Chief Justice
A. G. McAlister of the supreme court
was not novice at the game. Two
years ago he had administered the
oath of office upon the occasion of
the fourth Inauguration of Governor
Hunt.

Would Grant Oil
Concessions for Loan

Bagdad.- y - American capital
will be modified for the exploitation
of the oil resources OF Northern Per-
STA if DIR. C. A. Millspaugh, formerly
Of the United States state department,
now financial adviser to the Persian
government, succeeds in his mission
to the United States.
DR.. Millspaugh is returning from
Teheran to the United States, where
he will confer with American oil in
terests about the granting of oil con-
cessions in Persia. These concessions,
it is stated, will depend on the con-
cessionaires making the Persian gov
eminent loan Of $4,000, 900. At one
time arrangements were practically
completed with the Sinclair Oil inter
ests to take over the concession on
this condition. This agreement failed
over some details and the concession
lapsed. Other American oil interests,
it is understood, as well as some for
eign companies, are now competing
for the monopoly.
Persia is encouraging the invest
ment Of American capital for the
building of railways, port facilities,
and other public works.
