STATE SOLDIERS TO
CAMP in AUGUST

The 15Sth infantry national guard
will hold its annual encampment this
year from August Is to August 30.
The guard now has a personnel of APP
proximately 825 officers and men.
This is a gain of nearly 100 per cent
over last year.
The camp will be held at Fort Hua-
chuca again this year. The facilities
there have been enlarged to meet the
needs of the larger number of men.
The companies that will train there
this year are: A, B, c, D, E, f, G, H,
Howitzer company from Flagstaff,
Service company and the Headquar-
ters company of both the first and
second battalions. The band that is
going to camp has membership of
over 30 pieces.
The men that attend these encamp-
ments will be better men physically
mentally, and will have a better un-
derstanding as to their duties as
American citizens.
The present national guard is not
what it was few years ago. Then
it was a haphazard organization, now
it has all the training, tact, discipline
that go to make real men out of our
young men.
It's tendencies are toward moral
cleanliness and living. Only the most
refractory of youth fail to profit from
5heir association with the guard And
now only the best need apply for en-
istment for now the guard is in DO
sition to take it's pick of men for
service.

COTTONWOOD TO BUILD
BETTER AND BIGGER


Rebuilding will be begun on a
The first to really begin the right
kind of construction is Fred w. A.
Eckert who has about completed re-
storing the burned bakery. The
Eckerts will soon be turning out bread
again from their own plant and the
erection of 21-foot front on Main
street will be begun at once. Charles
d. Willard and G. M. Willard will
soon begin the erection of a cement
block of possibly three or four COM
partments for rental purposes. These
will all be occupied by those recently
burned out. The Giordanos will be-
gin the erection of two-story cement
hotel as soon as the matter of adj
justing their insurance has been defi-
nitely settled. Cottonwood will be re-
stored on a more substantial basis.
There are now 10 cement or tile build
ings in Cottonwood, all are business
houses and all are on Main street ex-
cept the Kovacovich Mercantile store.
Despite the disastrous fire of last
Monday week, there are 10 cement
buildings providing 13 different kinds
of business with a location. There
are 2l different business enterprises
besides those that are conducted in
sheet iron or frame buildings along
Willard avenue and Main street, be-
sides two on Mingus street. That
means that there were about so diff
ferent business houses in Cottonwood
prior to the fire. There is not an
other town in the United States that
can boast of SO many business houses
for population of about 1000 peo-
ple.-Jerome News.

ARIZONA HAD BAD FIRE
SEASON FOR YEAR 1924

There were 620 forest fires in Ari-
zona last year; just double the num-
Der of the year previous, or 100 per
cent increase.
"This starting fact" states District
Forester F. C. W. Pooler, "gives rise
to anxious thought on the part of
those who own timber and those who
make their living in the lumber in
dustry, for in it they see menace to
their livelihood. 1t would be of equal
concern to every citizen Of the state if
he could realize how directly it eff
fects him."
Arizona has one of the finest bodies
of virgin yellow pine timber in the
United States. Already it is attract
ing the interest of lumber companies
in other sections of the country. One
large company has already moved its
mills and even its former town name,
as well as its operations, bodily to
Arizona.
Under proper forest management
this timber can be cut so as to- keep
the forest constantly producing; as
the last tract of an area is being cut,
the first tract will again be ready to
cut. This means permanent industry,
permanent labor, and permanent
homes for the worker 1t means per-
manent payrolls, permanent towns
and permanent revenue for the state.
Anyone who has experienced the feel
ing of desolation and one that follows
a visit to an abandoned mill town will
see in this thought of permanency the
bright promise of the future that
should be cherished and carefully
guarded.
Most of last years fires were due to
lightning. They are usually followed
by rains. This gives the rangers time
to get to lightning fires and put them
out before they get start.
1t is the man-caused fire that
causes alarm. They invariably occur
on the dryest, warmest days, when
fire runs like the wind, and it is diff
ficult to get to them before they have
done considerable damage. A vivid
impression of the rapidity with which
forest fires spread and do damage
may be gained from the fact that
eight per cent of last seasons fire
caused over 90 per cent of the total
damage. Out Of 620 fires, only 56 ex-
ceeded ten acres in size, yet this 56
burned over total of 1892 acres, do
ing damage estimated at $4,794,000.

GOVERNOR HUNT WILL NOT
CALL AN EXTRA SESSION

Governor Hunt on Monday said in
an interview that there would not be
a special session of the Arizona legis-
lature.
The governor declared that judging
from the e.past an extra session would
cost the state approximately 100000
and probably would terminate with
out any definite results.
In his final message to the legisla-
ture, the governor asserted that he
was considering the possibility of
calling an extra session. He declared
Monday that he had been in close
touch with the members of both
houses since that time and it was his
belief that special session would be
futile.

WINS FIGHT FOR
CUT IN FREIGHT RATES

A complaint filed by the Arizona
corporation commission against clasSi-
fled freight charges applying on ship
ments into and out of this state from
neighboring territories in the south
west and on the Pacific coast was
sustained by an interstate commerce
commission investigation which re-
suited in recommendations for a gen
eral decrease.
The examiner assigned to the in
vestigation reported that an entirely
new schedule of charges on classified
freight should be established by Ari-
zona railroads and laid down a mile
age scale to govern reductions he con-
sidered justified.
The new scale would begin by inn
posing charge of AZ cents per hun
dred pounds on shipments of first
class freight moved 25 miles or less
while the charge would increase in
proportion to distance up a maximum
of So per hundred pounds for dis
tances of 1000 miles. The charges for
freight in the classifications under
first-class would be fixed in relation
to first-class charge for each distance.
The accommodation will go to the
commission for further consideration
and may guide its final decisions as to
Arizona rates.

LIVESTOCK CONDITIONS
BETTER IN MOHAVE

At last the livestock industry in
Mohave county has hit the low ebb
and has started on the upswing. The
bountiful rainfall, amounting to more
than six inches the past five months,
has put the range into better shape
than it has been for years. Grass is
growing nicely and making feed.
Then, closely following, seven differ
ent cattle buyers from California and

80 u. S. LAND OFFICES ARE
CLOSED BY SEC'Y WORK

With arrangements completed for
the closing Friday of 80 local land of
fices throughout the country, Secre-
tary Work indicated that several of
the remaining 45 offices might soon
be abolished owing to the diminish
ing business.
The secretary explained that the
wholesale closing of offices was due
to the decline of 85 per cent of public
land business in the past 20 years.

your verdict"
Conclusion
In conclusion, the instructions
said:
you are the exclusive judges of
the weight of the evidence, and the
credibillty of the witnesses. 1t is
your duty to consider all the evil
dence and determine what facts have
been proven, or not proven. II you
meet with conflicts in the evidence,
you should, if you can reasonably
and fairly do so, so reconcile them
as to believe all the testimony OF all
the witnesses. II you cannot so
reconcile the evidence then you have
the right to believe that which you
think most worthy of credit. and dis
regard that which cannot be reason
ably and fairly reconciled Herewith.
I'm determining the credibility Of
any witness and weighing his testi-
money, it is proper for you to con-
slider his appearance, conduct and
manner of testifying, while on the
witness stand; whether his state
ments are reasonable or unreason-
able, consistent or inconsistent, and
whether they are corroborated or
contradicted by other evidence which
you deem worthy of credit; the ex.
tent of his Intelligence, his krowl-
edge and means Of knowing of the
matters stated; the attention he gave
to such matters, and his recollection
thereof, whether good or bad; his
interest in the result of this cause,
if any, and the nature and extent of
it; whether or not he has any feel
ing, bias or prejudice for or against
the plaintiff or defendant. And any
other fact or circumstance, shown
by the evidence, which from your
experience and observation, you be-
lieve will aid you in arriving at
the truth in this cause, may be con-
sidered, and give such weight as you
think it is justly entitled to.
when you retire to your jury
room to deliberate on your verdict,
appoint one of your members as
foreman. 1t will be his duty to
sign your verdict, when agreed upon.
When your verdict shall have been
signed, return it into open court"

Legal Duty

zone of the theories Of the In
dictment, is that Madge Oberholtzer
met her death as a result OF the
failure Of the defendants to perform
a legal duty which it is alleged said
defendants owed to her. There is a
difference between moral obligations
and legal duties. All legal duties
are moral obligation, but all moral
obligations are not legal duties. The
violation of a moral obligation alone
can never form the basis of felonious
homicide unless such moral obliga-
ton also constitutes a legal duty.
For instance, as a human being
there rests upon me a moral obliga-
ton to render aid to the needy, but
if neglect to do so, and death re-
suits therefrom am not to be held
for felonious homicide for the viola
ton of the mere moral obligation.
But on the other hand, If 1 should
take possession and custody Of a
human being through fraud, deceit,
force or thrust, and thus deprive
such person Of his or her liberty,
of the right to exercise his or her
will power, then a legal duty i'm
mediately arises and rests upon me,
to protect such persons from danger.
and If under such circumstances
am guilty of any act of negligence
either Of omission or commission,
with relation to such legal duty, and
injury results to such person, as the
natural and probable result of my
negligence. am liable for such in
jury; and if death results as a
reasonable and natural consequence,
of my said act of NEGLIGENCE, 1 am
guilty of felonious homicide"
