Bright yellow and orange paint has
been deftly plastered on the business
streets of the city during the past few
days under the direction of the police
department with the aim Of making
the traffic and parking regulations
easier to follow for local and visiting
motorists.
s In addition to causing the parking
spaces to stand out clearly as we'll as
to mark out the prohibitive parking
spaces near hyGrants, the paint serves
to give a summery and holiday hue
to the streets. Starting next week
new scheme will be tried for mark
ing the paths which the pedestrian
should follow when crossing busy
streets of the downtown section. In
stead of painting two lines from cor
ner to corner between which the walk
er is supposed to remain, as has beer
the custom in the past, galvanized
iron cleats will be hammered into the
street pavement to. designate the path

Mochis American business man paint
ed for the Nogales Herald, a picture

1t was a picture of Americans with
guns strapped to their hips for pro-

which has migrated north from Nay

rains and floods, depriving them of

Nayarit, he explained, was the "last
frontier of Mexico abounding in law
tIessness and inhabited by natives who
led half-savage existence, knowing
little of law and less of order. Daw-
sons death, he declared, was the cul-
miantiort of a series of distasteful
events in Los Mochis. Refusing to al

did not want to incur the enmity of
the natives, he said that he, himself,
had been attacked, by a Mexican who
inflicted a flesh wound with a re-

through the courts and congress, said
in a statement today that Secretary
Works attempt to cancel rights of

Michael said the homesteaders felt
that they have been "unjustly and
arbitrarily treated by Secretary
Work"

institution, had derived from the state
