GREAT REGISTER
RE-OPENED FOR
NOV. ELECTION

The great register of Navajo
county was reopened Monday after
being closed during the recent pri-
mary election period, according to
an announcement by Mrs. Lucretia
W. Flanagan, county recorder.
Registrations of voters who fail
ed to register before the primary
election now will be taken for the
general election.
Those who neglected or were un-
able to qualify to vote before the
primary now may do so for the
general election in November.
Mrs. Flanagan expects that the
number of additional registrations
will be limited, since an unusually
heavy registration occurred before
the primary.

RATING BUREAU
SAYS TEST OK.
ON fire TRUCK

Figures received by the City
Council from the Arizona Equitable
Rating Bureau, of Phoenix, whose
engineer recently conducted for
NAL test of the capacity of the city's
new American-La France pumping,
chemical and hose engine, show
that the big pumper is up to it's
requirements in every respect, and
has been given the formal o. X. of
the bureau.
The test, which took place in
Holbrook some time ago, was wit
messed by many city officials, in
Guiding Mayor A. E. Gillard. Over
period of three hours the pump
was compelled to throw a number
of gallons equal to it's specifica-
tions at different pressures.
Two hours of the test were taken
at the usual pump pressure of 120
lbs, at which presume the pump
is supposed to deliver $50 gallons
per minute, 250 gallons from each
of three hoses. One hour is used
in the battery test, the other with
the motor running on the magnetic
The third hour is divided between
pressures of 200 pounds and $50
pounds.
The report of the bureau to the
Council stated that in the two-hour
test on magnetic and battery, the
pump threw an average of 76S
gallons per minute for the whole
time.
At the 200 pound pressure mark
the engine is rated at delivery of
375 gallons per minute, and in the
test the delivery was an average of
1856 gallons per minute for 80 min
utes.
At ESQ pounds pressure the de-
livery was 262 gallons per minute
as compared to the $50 gallons call
ed for in the specifications.
In the shut-off test, with the
pressure at 80 pounds, and with a
750 gallon delivery, one hose after
another was shut off, and at one
time, all three at once. There was
only difference of pounds in the
pump pressure at this point.
Three 100 foot lines Of 1-2 inch
hose were used, with one-inch noz-
zles. Suction was delivered through
twenty feet of hard suction hose,
with a two-inch lift The average
speed of the pump motor was $40
revolutions per minute.
The rating office made the fol-
lowing remarks in recommending
the acceptance of the truck: "This
pumper passed all the tests salts
factorily and is therefore consider
ed standard by this office, for use
for public fire protection"
Formal acceptance of the truck
will probably be made at he next
Council meeting.

SUCCESS EVIDENT
FOR 4TH ANNUAL
NAVAJO co. FAIR

The Fourth Annual Navajo Coun-
ty Fair, which will be held at Tay-
lor Friday and Saturday, October
1st and End, promises to be the
largest and best attended Fair ever
held in this county, Judging from
interest manifested in all sections
of the county and the number of in
quiries received by the commission
regarding entry of exhibits. The
premium list will be off the press
and ready for distribution early
next week.
The fair commission is exerting
every effort to make the coming
Fair an outstanding event in the
history of the county, and a cordial
welcome is being broadcast to all
to attend both days and enjoy the
entertainment which will be pro-
vided for the throngs anticipated.
The purpose of the Fair is to pro-
vide means whereby the people of
the various sections of the county
may become better acquainted, not
only among themselves but also
with the wonderful resources and
opportunities of this county.
It is held that Fair is the best
way of demonstrating to the people
of the county, and to residents of
other sections, what they are doing,
and there will be exhibits of every
kind, agricultural, in which line
Navajo county has always taken
leading place at the Arizona State
Fairs in the past, horticulture, live
stock, mineral, handwork and edu-
cational exhibits.
The Fair has been made possible
by the generous appropriation from
the state and by the Board Of
Supervisors of this county, and no
effort is being spared to make the
event such success that the great
est benefit will accrue through the
expenditure of these appropriations.
The exhibits will be housed in
public buildings and there will be
plenty of room for all.
The sports program will be held
at the Fair Grounds just west of
town. A natural saucer track is
available here, and it will be put in
first-class condition by Fair time.
The arrangement of the grounds
will be such that the entertainment
provided may be viewed from all
sides.
Dancing will hold forth in an
open air pavilion, which will be
large enough to accommodate the
large crowd, the floor space being
slightly less than a quarter of an
acre. The very best of music will
be provided for these dances, which
will be held each night.
The fair commission has provided
for information bureaus both in
Taylor and Snowflake, where in
formation regarding rooms, meals
and other Accommodations may be
he'd. At this time of the year camp
ing can be enjoyed with comfort,
and free camp grounds, with an
abundance of pure water and fire
wood will be furnished without
charge to those who plan to camp
out. Food and drink will be am
ply provided at the Fair grounds.
Arrangements are being made for
aviators to take part in the pro-
gram, and both passenger and stunt
flights will be made both days.

pupils and teachers settling into
their regular school routine in mid
season fashion, Superintendent of

Ashurst Believes
Hayden's S Election
ToSenate is Sure

Senator Henry F. Ashurst has
added a strong endorsement to the
candidacy of Carl Hayden for the
United States senate in a wire sent
to The Arizona Gazette. Senator
Ashurst points out that Congress
man Hayden did Yeoman service
when he pigeon-holed the Swing
Johnson Boulder Canyon dam bill
and that his work in Congress has
so favorably impressed the nations S
law makers that in the senate they
are already counting upon his SER
vice in some of the most important
committees.
In his telegram to the. Gazette,
Senator Ashurst said, in part:
when Mr. Hayden pigeon-holed
the Swing-Johnson. Boulder Dam
bill he performed the most import
ant and the most difficult task ever
accomplished by any one person
during my term of service here.
1t was Mr.. Hayden's strengths, IN
fluence and energy which pigeon
holed this bill If he be elected to
the senate as I believe he will be,
he will Immediately take high rank
and the steering committee has as
sured me that he will be placed
upon the senate committee on ap-
preparations, which of course is
very important.
II shall start home as soon as I
complete my speaking engagements

INCREASE In
GAS PRESSURE
WILL BE MADE

City Clerk c. L. Murphy, and
Bert Steinert, manager of the City
Gas Plant, conducted test of the
pressure in the mains in the vici-
nifty of the Washington school
Tuesday, and found it insufficient
in that particular district to give
proper service.
The test of pressures during the
earlier hours of the day, and
through the peak load, or noon
hour, was made to determine what
pressure would be necessary to in
sure proper operation of the new
heating plant at the Washington
school, as we'll as improve the SER
vice to domestic users.
AS a result of the test, the
holder at the plant will be weight
ed, and the pressure increased
from one-third to a half pound. A
booster was connected at the plant,
as the pressure near the Washing
ton school registered only 9 IA in
ches water pressure, or the equiv
alent of 1-3 lb. With the booster
in operation the pressure was rails
ed to 13 IA inches, or one half
pound. At this pressure the new
heating plant performed perfectly,
as well as all other gas appliances
in that district.
The holder will be weighted to
increase the pressure to that ex-
tent, and a test of the heating
plant at the school will be con-
Quoted upon the arrival of the en-
gineer who designed the system.
With the increased pressure, gas
service in all parts of the city will
be improved.

SOME POLITICAL
THOUGHTS FROM
STATE CAPITOL
Especial Correspondence.

PHOENIX - With results of the
Primary Election known and after
the usual congratulations and con-
dolences have been extended to the
victors and vanquished, the Demo-
Gratis at the state capital were nev-
er more confident of success than
now. The Democratic ticket, as
nominated, is regarded as one of
the strongest ever named in the
state. The great victory won by
Governor Hunt is notice to Repub-
licans that in the November cleo
ton Elias Clark will be much deep
er in the political mire than was
Dwight B. Heard two years ago.
Clark has some standing as an at
torney, but has no record on which
he can appeal for votes against the
present governor. If he assails the
governor he will only emphasize
the fact that Governor Hunt stands
before the people of Arizona, after
twenty-five years of public life, un-
sullied and unaccused of unfaith-
fulness in public service.
Carl Hayden, who goes on the
Democratic ticket as a candidate
for United States Senator, also has
a record of many years of public
service rendered Arizona, first as
supervisor and sheriff of Maricopa
county and since February, 1912, in
the Congress of the United States
Mr.. Hayden has accomplished much
for Arizona as a member of Con-
gress, but. of all accomplishments
what he did in the last Session to
successfully stop the further pro-
gresss of the Boulder Canyon dam
on the Colorado was the most mon
umental service to Arizona, ser
vice which should rally the voters
of Arizona to his support regard
less of politics. In a Republican
controlled committee in the House.
Carl Hayden succeeded in putting
the Boulder Canyon dam bill in
pigeon hole, rather than on the
calendar where its friends tried to
put it. His Republican opponent in
this campaign, Ralph Cameron,
was unable to do this in the Re-
publican senate committee on rec
lamation. Such service by Mr.
Hayden will not be allowed to go

Powerful Drama of New
York's Criminal Courts

Victor Trimmings sensational
Paramount special, "The BLIND
Goddess" is a graphic and grip
ping perturbation of Arthur
Trains powerful novel of the
same name, which created wide
spread comment when it appeared
serially in "The Designer"
1t is a striking story of vivid
and intensely dramatic action,
laid in a background that ranges
from the grim routine of New
York's criminal courts to the
smart social atmosphere of Fifth
avenues exclusive homes. The
chief character is a brilliant young
lawyer, who becomes an assistant
district attorney in New York
City and is forced to choose be-
tween his ideal of duty and the
girl he loves, under thrilling cir
cumstances.
His refusal to prosecute the
mystery-woman, charged with n
murder of his iancee's father;
his desperate and eventually sue
cessful efforts to save her from
conviction in the face of a per-
feet network of circumstantial
evidence that point to her guilt;
and his ultimate and startling dis
closure as to her real identity
make up a picture throbbing with
human interest and terrific emo
tional power.
Jack Holt proves a capital
choice as the idealistic lawyer. Es-
Their Ralston makes q charming
and lovely heroine; Ernest Tor
renee gives an excellent account
of himself both as a kindly, indul-
gent father and scrupulously hon
est political boss; and Louise Ores

friendless mother, wins new lau-
rels with am altogether sincere
and sensitive portrayal. Two days,
