REPUBLICANS BIG EDITION
MAKES STATE RECORD HIT

Arizona in all her splendor is por-
trayed by word and by picture in the
fifth annual Midwinter Resource edi-
tion of The Arizona Republican print
ed Sunday, December 27.
The Republican Resource edition
contains 188 pages and is the largest
single edition ever published in the
southwest. Exceptional art work,
with typical Arizona scenery, brings
out the subjects in every section of
the edition and should give the resi-
dents of other states better idea of
the beauty and the progress of Ari-
zona.
The statistics carried in the edition
provide handy reference file and
fully answer all questions regarding
the resources of the state. Every sec
ton OF the state is given prominence
in the paper, with special reference
to the resources, statistics of the
past year and a survey of 1926 pros
poets.
The facts and figures compiled by
the staff of The Arizona Republican
provide comprehensive review of
what actually happened during the
year. Descriptive stories of the early
history, the scenic grandeur, the
splendid highways, in fact everything
of interest are carried in this edition.
The section devoted to the Colorado
river carries a list of damsites with
description of the locations and de
tailed review of the surveys and early
history of the work already done.
geographically The Republican
Resource edition is a credit to the
printers art, with the makeup carried
through the entire edition in one
style. Thousands of copies of this
edition are being mailed to out of
state points and should give Arizona
much good advertising.

SUSPECT BIGAMY AS ONE
OF THE PEREZ OFFENSES

Sheriff Collins of Inyo county,
Calf, was in Prescott Saturday from
his headquarters at Independence, to
get the person of Perez, alias Con
zales, accused of non-support.
Perez was arrested on the ground

and several children in California.
Officers are investigating report
that after coming to Arizona to live,
Perez took unto himself another wife,
now living at Jerome, and began
building up a new family, with one
child already arrived. If the invest-
cation brings the suspicious to light,
it will be bigamy or trigonometry that
