PASS CITY SALESMAN POISONED
AND ROBBED IN Aqua PRIETA

The body of Harry Davis, 81, El
Paso salesman, who was poisoned in
Augua Prieta, Sonora, Saturday aft
ernoon and died in Douglas, Ariz.,
hospital that night, is being brought
to Ell Paso by sister, Mrs. Grant
Stewart of Mesa, Ariz.
G. B. Davis, father of Harry Davis
went to Douglas Saturday night and
is returning with his sons automo-
bile. Harry Davis made collections
from stores on his trip and had three
weeks expense money and a quantity
Of non transferable securities with
him. Friends here advance the theory
that men who knew he had money,
possibly more than $1,000, lured him
into the Aqua Prieta cafe in a prom
ise of a business deal and poisoned
him there.
Mr. Davis never touched intoxicat-
ing drinks, Joe Davis, Brother, said.
He was in service during the World
war and was wounded overseas.

COUNCIL MINUTES


Town Of Flagstaff, Arizona. Meet
ing July II, 1926.
Pursuant to adjournment taken to-
day at 10 o'clock a. M, the Common
Council Of the Town of Flagstaff met
in the Town Hall this day at s
o'clock p. m. Those present were:
Acting Mayor Pulliam, Councilmen
Koch, Flett, Raudebaugh, Mitchell and
Clerk Pulliam.
Mr.. r. E. Mcdonnell Of Burns e.
Mcdonnell Engineering company ap-
peared relative to certain proposed
changes mentioned at the council
meeting of July 18th, and recon-
mended that certain changes be made
to the reservoir which will not dimin-
ish its capacity to less than fifty mill
lion gallons and will effect saving
Of approximately $9,00O.O0. Action
was deferred on this recommendation
until tomorrow, giving Mr.. McDon-
nell time to, interview the contractor.
A motion was made by Flett that a
policeman be deputized for service at
the reservoir provided the same can
legally be done. The motion was sec
onded by Koch and carried.
The Town Attorney was instructed
to draw an ordinance which will raise
the water rates for consumers during
the present water shortage, and pre-
sent the same to the council for its
consideration the next possible time.
The Clerk was instructed to hire an
extra man to visit the water consum-
ers and instruct them to reduce the
use of water and assist them in any
way possible to conserve water.
The Clerk was also instructed to
consult with the railroad company and
request them to further reduce their
use Of water if it is possible

DISCONNECTED RAILS FAIL
TO CAUSE TRAIN WRECK

A disconnected rail joint found by
the track walker at a point west of
Winona Wednesday night failed to
wreck three or four trains that evil
IDENTIFY had passed the point after the
rails had been loosened. No clue has
yet been found by the railroad Off
cials as to the motive or the persons
connected with the act of disconnect-
ing the rails.
The plate had been removed from
the place Of joining Of two rails while
the spikes had been removed from six
of the ties holding the rails. Under or
binary conditions a train would have
been derailed at such a place but due
to the fact that the stretch of track
was straight at the point and that a
temporary slow order has been in eff
feet during the last few weeks on ac-
count Of the construction of new
bridge in the vicinity, the trains passed
the point unaware of the condition of
the track. A limit of eight miles an
hour is set on the trains passing this
point during the construction of the
bridge. A rate of a few miles more
would have made it impossible to
cross the track without wreck, rail

SIIEEPMEN TO LOCATE
PASTURES in ADVANCE

The Arizona Industrial congress and
the state farm bureau will act as a
clearing house for sheepmen who de-
sire to pasture their flocks in the val
ley the coming season. The sheepmen
will transmit their pasturage wants to
the congress or the bureau who will
have gathered from the ranchers of
the valley the amount Of grazing
lands available on their holdings and
which they are desirous of having
used for the feeding Of the sheep.
Barring fall rains to grow feed on
the desert area, there will be approx
mately 10000 head to feed from the
irrigated lands, which has in the nast
left from one to two million dollars a
year with ranchers of this section.
This amount of money, coming at a
time when the hay season is about
over, adds greatly to a source of reve-
nue. that would not be had if they
should ship to foreign fields.
1t is hoped that the ranchers who
will have feed for sale during the fall
will register their names, price and
acreage with the Arizona Industrial
congress, of the state farm bureau,
which will keep an accurate record
and transmit to the Wool Growers as
sociation.
At the tIirty-ninth annual conven-
tion Of the Wool Growers association
in Flagstaff on July and 0, some
protest was made concerning the high
prices paid for feed the past winter
in the Salt River valley. The high
prices to some extent were caused by
the sheepmen bidding against each
other on large blocks or favored To-
cations. The matter of competitive
bidding viii be worked out by the
sheepmen themselves through this as
sociation Many of the sheepmen de-
clared they could not pay over two
cents head day for prearranged
time and, if pasture could not be Sc
cured at this or near this figure, they
would be compelled to ship to adjoin-
ing states for cheaper feed.
The sheepmen from the northern
ranges start their annual drive to the
winter feed areas about the first Of
November, arriving some month or six
weeks later The bands do not all
start at the same time which will fa-
cilitate handling them when they ar
rive in the feed area.

spring and summer and will be made
an all year feature" said Mr.. Duffy.
"This service will make it possible
for many thousands to see the great
wonderland in the New Mexico Rock
les between Las Vegas and AlbuQuer-
que and will provide pleasant bfeak
in the trans-continental trip to the
coast, and is sure to stimulate travel
from all over the world. Among the
sights will be the inhabited Indian
pueblos of Tesuque, Santa Clara, San
Juan, Santo Domingo and other points
in the picturesque upper Rio Grande
valley as well as the huge communal
ruins of Paye-a cliff pueblo 20 cen
turies old.
"The tours viii be an all expense
paid motor trip, covering nearly 300
miles, with Fred Harvey meals and
hotel accommodations. Automobiles
of a special design are being built for
the service, insuring the maximum Of
comfort. The stages will meet the
Santa Fe trains at Las Vegas and
Albuquerque, at which points the
Santa Fe has station hotels and where
local sightseeing may be enjoyed.
Numerous optional rides also will
be possible through the plans, and in
addition to the exclusive tours, pri-
vate cars with trained couriers will be
operated"

tor transportation developments in
the vicinity Of Gallup, N. N. also are
involved as this is the center of the
several Indian reservations and other
wonders. A new motor tour of the
Grand Canyon national park including
the San Francisco peaks and vicinity
of Flagstaff is being worked out. No
railroad in America ever before has
undertaken such a broad educational
development, it was stated.

"ARIZONA BILL" AND PACK
BURR0S START FOR EAST

Col. r. r. Gardner, better known to
old timers of the southwest as "Ari-
zona Bill" arrived in Phoenix en-
route on one of the most remarkable
tours ever attempted.
For Arizona Bill 78 years old,
picturesque early day figure and a
crony of such characters as Kit Car
son, Buffalo Bill, General Custer,
Captain Lawton and Jim Bridger, is
hiking from his native state of Ari-
zona to Philadelphia, Pa, to attend
the sesquicentennial exhibition to be
held in PHILADELPHIA next year in
of the 105th anniver-
sary of American independence.
Dressed in the rough and ready
outdoor garb which he has worn all
his life and accompanied only by two
burros, comprising the old timers
pack train, Arizona Bill" known far
and near for his genial friendly phi
losophy, will punch his Arizona canar-
les from Phoenix to Philadelphia to
advertise his native state.
Although the centennial exhibition
will not open until April 30, 1926, Ari-
zona Bill is getting good start, for
it will take a long time to cover the
nearly 5000 miles which separate him
from his destination.

TAKES A WOMAN
TO Do THINGS
BY Charlie Gillham

When a woman swims 13 hours and
81 minutes and lacks mile and half
of crossing the English channel, it is
time for man to look to his own hon
ors and wonder if he is evoluting with
a reverse English twist.
There are quite few "Jelly
Beans" willie Willie bows lounge
lizards" and "parlor snakes" that
would have all the grease washed out
of their hair and be as devoid of wind
as a tungsten light bulb after they
were in the water 13 minutes and 81
seconds.
Critics who think the modern flap
per is going the route too swiftly
must pause to reflect that the bob
haired amazon today can drive her
own car to work in the morning drag
down bigger wages than lot u us
poor birds, go home and help ther
with the supper and then go ct and
dance all night. In the morning she
gets up looking like rose. Women
bandits are holding up our respectable
citizens, and shoot down rival with
the careless abandon of Nick Carter.
In few more years they will be
riding in the Kentucky derby and
scrapping for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world.
Only the other day German girl
kidnapped a man and married him. In
few more years we will have to get
police protection and carry pocket
full of rocks. The fair sex will be
swimming the English channel for
visit in London, and continental air
busses will go out Of business. All
the passengers they viii get will be
cripples and men, and how in the
heck can a man go any place when
he's got to get the kiddies off to
school, put out the family wash and
clean up the breakfast dishes?

Clerk, Town of Flagstaff

Town Of Flagstaff, Arizona. Meet
ing July Is, 1925.
Pursuant to adjournment taken yes
terday, July 18th, the Council met to-
day in the Town Hall at o'clock a.
m. for the purpose Of considering cer-
tain changes to the reservoir. Those
present were Acting Mayor Pulliam,
Councilmen Flett, Raudebaugh and
Mitchell and Clerk Pulliam.
With reference to the proposed
reservoir changes mentioned at yes
terday's meeting of the council, Mr..
R. E. Mcdonnell, representing Burns
& Mcdonnell Engineering Company,
and their resident engineer, w. e..
Flynn, were present and reported that
excavating in the bottom Of the new
reservoir disclosed rock approximately
four feet above grade extending over
about one quarter of the area of the
bottom and the engineers recommend
W NV EOilA5 IiALO ILLS IOCh W JHC8 OII-
ginal grade but that the bottom be
raised two feet above the original
grade and that the top Of the reser-
voir be raised one foot thus avoiding
the additional expense of rock exca-
waiting and still preserve the capacity
of the reservoir as planned. The en-
gineers further recommended a rein
forced concrete slab and beam con-
struction over the bottom of the
reservoir as being good, durable and
safe construction instead of the
gunite as planned to cover the bot
tom over the rock The engineers
further recommended that gradual
slope from the high side Of the rock
be made to meet the elevation of two
feet above. grade as shown on plans.
Although Mr.. Koch, the chairman
of the Water Committee was not pres
ent, telephone communication was
made with him and he recommended
that the recommendations of Burns
& Mcdonnell be accepted and that the
changes be made in the reservoir az
recommended. Mr.. Pulliam as chair

SAYS THERE ARE MILLION
BOOTLECCERS in THE U. S.

Washington.-With Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrews "a
prohibition enforcers appointed. and
his cards on the table, underground
reports reaching the treasury depart
ment by way of the prohibition irK
telligence service are to the effect
that bootleggers are cudgeling their
wits to invent some new method of
operating proof against his campaign.
More than 100000 bootleggers
operate in the country, according to
various estimates. Reports Of the
United States district attorney for
Washington tend to bear out the fig
ures, at least for the national capital.
It has been estimated, by his office
that there are 5000 bootleggers in
Washington, or one to every 100 in
habitants.
That the illicit liquor trade will not
give in without fight is taken for
granted. Not only are the profits IN
volved too great, but the rum running
fraternity is noted for its resourceful-
ness. Chased off the north Atlantic
coast by the rum fleet, they moved
one jump ahead of it to the southern
Atlantic shores and to the Canadian
border.
Barred from tapping distilleries,
they set up their own and with fake
labels and revenue stamps manufac-
tured their own imitation brands.
