hold such a high ranking in year books
for consecutive years, as the competi-
tion involves all high schools in the

Much credit is due Paul Huber, who
has charge of the printing and draw
ing department and to the hearty CO.

is printed in the high school print

Pontiac Will Fill Long LeIs
Need of Local Auto Dealer

George Jackson, proprietor of the
Southern Arizona Auto company and
local dealer for the Pontiac, states
that he has secured the Pontiac
agency only after more than years
careful consideration of the new cars
performance and stability.
For some time, Jackson said, he
had been on the lookout for a de-
pendable car, priced below $1,000,
to sell in conjunction with the Buick,
the latter cars having been removed
from the lower price class.
The Pontiac is a General Motors
product, a considerable recommended
tion in itself, and is enjoying an
ever growing popularity with motor
lists who recognize car value.
That the future of the new car
is assured is demonstrated by the
fact that General Motors is rushing
to completion an additional $7,600,000
factory. The new factory, when COM
nleted January 1, 1927, will have an
output of 1000 Pontiacs per day.
Twelve Of the new cars have
already been receiged in the city and
the various models, including the
coupe, two and four door sedans,
may be seen on display in the Pontiac
show rooms at 1900 G avenue.

Jackson, one of the men convicted by
Dan Moody, democratic guberna torial
nominee, in q ku kluX khan flogging
case three years ago, when Moody
was county attorney, was pardoned
today by Governor Miriam A. Fergu-
son. Moody's vigorous prosecution of
the case brought him statewide prim-

Jackson had served one year of a
five-year sentence in connection with

man of former Postmaster General
Albert Sidney Burlason, in William

FEDERAL AID BRIDGE
MAY REPLACE TWO AT
ST. DAVID AND BENSON

The county highway bridges across
the San Pedro river at st. David and
Benson, destroyed during the recent
flood, will probably be replaced with
a single structure The county board
of supervisors and the state highway
department are now working on this
plan, which includea the Strengthening
of, the road between the TWO towns.
If the new plan is successful it will
mean great saving to the taxpayers
of the court, because the new single
bridge will be on the BaEkhead high
way and approximately IS per cent of
the cost of the bridge will be borne by
the federal aid department. Officials
and engineers of the state highway de-
partment are in full accord with the
new plan, according to County Super
visor John Hart.
The board of county supervisors
held a meeting Monday and arranged
with the Ell Paso Bridge and Iron COM
pany to send an engineer to assist in
bridge. This engineer will also help
select sites for new bridges at Here
ford and Pomerene and make estimates
on the cost Of the bridges.
The new approach to the bridge at
Charleston will be completed during
the present week, after which traffic
can be resumed by this route. One ap-
proach to this bridge was completely
taken out during the recent flood
Supervisor Hart reports good prog
ress being made on the Leslie canyon
road. The concrete culverts and two
small bridges on this road will be
completed during the week. The road
will be opened to traffic during the
spring. This road will be IA feet wide
with grade of less than per cent
that will permit cars crossing the hog
back in high gear and will completely
eliminate the present creek crossings
