MILITARY TRAINING FINE
FOR BOYS SAY DOCTORS

| Fort Sam Houston, Texas.-The
doctors of the Eighth corps area,
which includes the states of Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
| Texas, have just gone on record, ac-
cording to a statement issued today
| by Major General Ernest Kinds, COM
mander, as heartily favoring the aims
and objects of the citizens military
training camps Their support of
| this national movement to make bet
| ter citizens of our young men comes
from all sections of the corps area
and is a conclusive endorsement of
these camps by more than $500 fam
lily physicians.
In order that the young men may
take advantage of our governments
offer of thirty days outdoor training,
these doctors have written General
Kinds agreeing to perform free OF
charge the necessary physical exam
ination, incubation against typhoid
para typhoid fevers and vaccination
against smallpox. This shows their
interest in the young men of their
community and their patriotic desire
to further the governments plan of
teaching our youth their rights and
duties as citizens. 1t also indicates
their opinion as to the desirability and
necessity of C. NJ t. C. training, de-
signed as it is to strengthen our
youth morally, mentally and physical
|ly.
No profession is keener to apprec-
late the lasting benefits derived by
developing our young manhood. The
physicians and surgeons realize more
than any other profession the lasting
benefit to be derived from this health
full and systematic outdoor training
by the growing youth Of not only the
present generation, but generations
to come. They know the value of the
statistical data which shows the ply
steal development of the student at
tendants at the camps of previous
years.
The records of the 1925 camps
show that a big majority of the
trainees gained from l to II pounds,
or an overage of approximately five
pounds, in weight, grew from 1-8 to
Ia inches in height and increased
their chest expansion from liz to two
inches each. The excessive weight of
few trainees, due to lack of exer-
else, was reduced and replaced by
muscular development. All this with
only one months c. Nj. T. camp train
1 ing.
Serious physical defects which re-
suit in non-acceptance are brought
Immediately to the trainee's and the
attention of his parents. Minor de-
fects, which do not prevent accept
ance and which can be corrected, are
not only brought to the attention of
the individual, but put in process of
correction and followed up through
out the camp by close observation.

CLARK ESTATE CASE
is ADJUDGED CLOSED

The state inheritance tax on the es-
tate Of the late Senator William A.
Clark, formerly president of the
United Verde Copper company, has
been adiudged correct and the trans
action is closed, as the result Of a
decision in the Prescott superior court
when Judge Richard Lamson made an
order setting the inheritance tax in
this state at $42,15660, which already
has been paid into the state treasury.
A technical objection was entered
at the hearing by Leroy Anderson,
counsel for the estate in Arizona, on
the ground that the tax was computed
on the entire estate, whereas that
part of the late senator's property in
cluded in bequest to the Corcoran
gallery and not in this state, should
be exempted. This was overruled and
the books ordered closed. State
Treasurer Vernon Wright represented
the state at the hearing.

VALLEY BANK TO HAVE
BRANCH AT PRESCOTT

The Valley bank, which recently un-
derwent some changes in personnel
and leadership, has been figuring on
the Prescott field since the Prescott
State and its allied banks crashed four
and half months ago. An effort
was made during the early scurryings
to interest the Valley bank in salvag-
ing the local institution; the proposi-
ton was defeated.
The proposed establishment of a
branch here would, it is said, in no
wise constitute transaction with the
defunct bank, whose only relation to
the deal would be the sale or lease of
its building for the new institution
The Valley bank is now rated as
the largest banking institution in
Arizona and has deposits in excess Of
S13, 100000.

IMPORTANT STATE NEWS

! Excellent rains over the entire
state during March and April have
been of vast Importance to the live
stock industry. With stock in good
condition as a result Of fall rains
which carried ranges through the win
ter, the general precipitation of the
past several weeks assures ample
spring feed and water supplies, and
adds materially to prospects for this
season, already frightened by the
much improved outlook for cattle mar
| kets.
Good demand for feeder cattle con-
tinues, with buyers active and large
part of the stock available for spring
delivery contracted. 1t is reported an
unusually large proportion Of the
spring movement will go to Colorado
and other northern states, though
California buyers are expected to re-
new activity. following recent rains
there that have improved the feed
outlook. Recent reports give $50 to
$37 a head for yearlings and $25 to
$35 for cows as prevailing feeder
prices, while the fat cattle market
| has been around s to 812 cents a
pound for steers, 6 to 6A for COWS
and 61a to 7 for heifers.
Despite the materially higher
prices than last year, it is likely the
spring movement of cattle from Ari-
zona will be below 1924 figures,
which were raised considerably by
forced movement due to feed condi-
tions. Preliminary estimates of the
! Arizona office of the bureau of agri-
cultural economics indicate movement
this spring will be about 10000 head,
on which basis it would include 3d.
900 steers, $4,000 cows, 10000 calves
and 5000 heifers. Owing to excellent
range outlook, cattle shipped will be
heavier than usual, which will be re-
Elected in returns, while the same
factor will make for good calf crop
next year.
| Sheep also are in excellent condi-
ton, and the lamb crop has been good.
About 10000 early lambs have been
! sold, of the number available for
spring delivery estimated at $4,000.
Prices have been around IL to 1212
cents pound. An unusually large
number of summer fat lambs also is
expected. Shearing in the southern
valleys is about finished. The wool
market has been about 80 to AZ cents
pound, and though some activity is
shown not great many sales have
been reported, the highest sale re-

OFFICIAL GRAND CAN
YON ROAD BULLETIN

This bulletin is issued each Mon
day morning for the purpose of Civ
ing information regarding roads in
the Grand Canyon national park, and
approach roads thereto Unless other
wise specified, roads mentioned are
dirt roads on which there has been no
great amount of improvement work,
and conditions as given are for this
type of road.
There is no snow at the Canyon.
Approach roads-It rained every
day the past week, and as result APP
proach roads are in rather bad shape.
However, cars have been registered
every day. The only route advisable
at present is the Williams road. AL
though rough and muddy in spots,
the greater part of the ga miles is in
good condition. Unless some trouble
is encountered within the first IL
miles from Williams there is no dan
ger of getting held up on this end.
In approaching muddy places, mo-
torists are advised to drive in the ruts
as the bottom is solid, and it will pre-
vent slipping off the road.
About two days of warm sunshine
should dry up the road completely.
Roads in Grand Canyon national
park-The Hermit rim drive, which is
paved, is the only road in the park
that is open at present. However,
views from along this road leave but
little to be desired as far as the Cam
yon is concerned.
Condition of other roads in the park
is dependent on weather conditions
About two warm days should make
the east drive as far as Grand View
easy to travel over. However, it win
take about four days to dry out the
drive to Desert View.
Canyon trails-All trails are in
good shape. The wild flowers in
bloom in the canyon depths will be a
delight to the nature lover.
Camp grounds-The camp ground
is wet, but a days sun will dry it out.
Water will probably be available by
the end of the week.
