EVER HELD HERE-LIVED HERE MANY YEARS

wreaths from the Elks Lodge, Ro-
tary Club, and Nogales Fire De-
partment, Mr.. Walker being a
member of the three organiza-
tiers.
Owen H. Walker lived in No
gales practically all his life. He
was 40 years, two months, and %
days old, and was born at Los
Alamos, California. He came to
this county with his parents when
he was a very small baby.
During his many years residence
her he made many friends
throughout the county, all Of
whom are deeply grieved over his
untimely death. He was a mem
Der of the firm of the Walker
Transfer & Storage Company. and
was also deputy United States
Marshal.
The accident which resulted in
his death occurred while he was
riding on top Of a truck load of
furniture piled about eleven feet
high. A telephone wire struck
him across the breast and threw
him onto the street. He fell on
the back of his head and sustained
two fractures at the vault of the
Uranium on the right side, and a
wound an inch and half long on
the right side that cut the scalp
down to the skull. On account of
his critical condition, chances for
recovery were slight from the be-
ginning. He was rendered uncon-
scious in the fall and never re-
gained consciousness.
Mr.. Walker is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Inez Walker; his par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Walker
and a brother and sister, Virgil
Walker and Miss Gladys Walker.
He was a nephew of Superior
Court Judge w. A. O'Connor.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL.
The menace to life and limb on
public highways as result Of the
~rowin~ use Of motor vehicles has
been matter of deep concern to
highway officials. t was the rec
ognition Of this growing evil in
highway transportation that led
to the recent adoption Of stand
ard danger signals to be erected
on interstate routes selected joint
~ by states and Federal govern
ment, as main transcontinental
thoroughfares. Steps are now be-
ing taken for the erection Of these
signs as speedily as possible.
Aside from aiding in the con-
struction of modern roads, ac-
cCrding TO q statement issued by
the American Association of State
Highway Officials, there has been
perhaps no greater benefit to the
public from the adoption Of the
Federal Aid principle of main
highway Improvement than in this
matter of numbering and marking
interstate routes. "Probably."
says the statement, "there is no
single item which shows the val
ue of Federal and state coopera-
ton in this labor in a more vivid
way than the recently approved
1~0-k of the joint board COMPOSED
of officials Of the State Highway
Department and the Bureau of
Public Roads in the selection of a
limited system of roads to receive
national numbers, so that people
may travel across the continent
following the same number The
approval of safety devices and
dlrectional signs has been secured
IN the same manner. These things
would not have been done but for
the governmental organizations as
thev now can do through the Fed
eral Aid and state laws under
which they operate
The standard route marker will
be a typical United States shield,
painted white on which will ap-
pear in black the name of appro-
PIRATE State, the initials u. s.,
and the route number. Steps have
already been taken to see that this
marker is not used except on the
system Of highways designated by
the Joint Board. All directional
signs will be in black and white
of standardized sizes.
In The selection Of colors and
shapes the Board has been guided
by the principal that all signs in
dicating the necessity for any de.
gree Of caution VIII be yellow
background with black lettering.
The degree Of caution required
will be indicated by the shape of
the signs as we'll as by the words
and symbols on them. Thus al
round sign i'll always Indicate al
railroad crossing; an octagonal
sign will indicate positive danger
and will call for a compete stop;
a diamond shaped sign will be-

HAVANA, Cuba, February 21.-
Warning that proposed laws provid-
Ing for excessive appropriations or
loans during the closing days OF the
present administration would not be
carried out by his government was
sounded Iby President elect Gerardo
Machado, in a statement today.
Il am entirely opposed to the bill
that proposes to give to company
a concession for the building of a
central highway and other roads at
a cost of $3.50. 900 invested for the
period of Is years, receiving at speci-
fed times contri buttons that would
take from the people of Cuba some
10000. 600 for 40 years, or a total of
81 200, 900" the statement said.
1T is my opinion that this bill is
harmful and seriously prejudiced to
the interest of the republic. The con-
tributions that would be imposed
would prove to be an unbeara BILE load
70 the country, which will never be
made to pay such taxes, and much
less for the reason that my govern
ment will object to their collection.
Doubts Project VIII Pass
,,'I do not believe this project will
be approved by Congress, and should
It be it would be vetoed by President
Zayas; and, at any rate, it would
prove inefficacious for the reason
that during the period of my govern
ment and with the cooperation of
the country, protesting against such
an outrage, such taxes will never be
levied. Therefore the law would be
made Impractical BILE. As a last resort
the law would be brought before the
supreme tribunal until it has been
annulled or found defective
Therefore it is my duty to advise
foreign capitalists in the most clear
and explicit manner that they must
not venture in such negotiations nor
invest any sums of money in the
same, assuring them also of all pro-
lection, and guarantees in legitimate
enterprises and warning them that
negotiations of the kind above stated
VIII not be tolerated and would be
most injurious to the interests Of nv
