Dempsey did not make these ne.
marks to the writer. He never
talks that way to newspapermen.
His talk was made in the bosom
Of his official family. Gene Normtle
was there So were Gus Wilson
and several more of the champion
staff. They left the conference con-
WINGED that Dempsey cannot lose.
l. AS to that. it is an open CUES
ton. A champion that hasn't
fought in three years and is being
harried by court actions every day
stands an excellent chance Of los
ing, providing his opponent has
anything worth offering. Tunney
has yet to prove that he has.
Another thing: those suits, at

work two ways. They either will
break Dempsey down mentally
and morally or they will turn
| him into a berserk, irresistible
mad man on the night Of the
fight.

effect. In no training camp to

APACHE COUNTY IN LINE
FOR OIL DEVELOPMENT

Under the caption, apache County
Next the st. Johns Observer says:
"Art Saunders was in Holbrook last
week, attracted there by the reported
oil strike. If a few oil rigs are not
scattered over Apache county soon, it
will be no fault of Arts. He has had
wealthy prospectors here recently
who have been favorably impressed
with the lay of the land and now that
Holbrook has struck oil, they will need
no urging to come again. Biologists
of note have not hesitated to say that
Apache county has as good prospects
in several locations as Navajo county.
Apache county is surely in line for big
operationsrwithin the next few years.
The Observers contentious are sus-
tained It naturally follows that
Apache county will be in line for big
operations since Apache county is in
cluded in the Holbrook oil field, -ac-
cording to geologic surveys.

NORTH RIM TIMBER is
SAVED FROM BEETLE

The epidemic of the Black Hills
beetle, which has caused the destrnc-
tion of 10000 yellow pine trees on
the north rim Of the Grand Canyon
national park, is now at an end, is an
nounced by j. r.. Eakin, superintend-
ent. He bases his statement on a re-
port by f. p. Keene of the U. s. bu-
reau of entomology, who has super
|vised the control work.
According to Mr.. Keene, the fight
which has been carried on for three
years by three government agencies
to eliminate the pest, was helped ma
terially the past summer by natural
control factors, as there was a heavy
decline in attacks, amounting to about
so per cent. 1t may be stated that
the recent Black Hills epidemic in the
Grand Canyon national park is at an
end.
One of the greatest scenic assets of
the north rim is the wonderful forest.
It's future as one of the major recrea-
ton and camping grounds of the ma
ton, depends almost entirely upon the
preservation of the trees. Park Off
cials, in cooperation with the bureau
of entomology and forest service,
have made every effort to stop the
destruction by the Black Hills beetle,
and are gratified by the results OBJ
tained.

FLAGSTAFF TEACHERS
HAVE GOOD CHANCE IN
ARIZONA TOURNAMENT

The Varsity basketball team left
for Phoenix yesterday to take part in
the tournament to determine the
champion of the informal conference
of colleges lin the state. While the
dope seems to favor Tempe to win the
tneet, the Flagstaff Teachers are far
from being considered the weak team
they have been in former years.
Tempe received defeat at the
hands of Phoenix Junior college last
week and is not showing thes form it
did in the early season games. Flag
staff easily defeated Phoenix in the
game here, although hard early sea-
son game was lost to Tempe.
Tempe has to its credit victories
over Gila, Arizona university, Flag
staff and Phoenix and has been de-
feated by the university and Phoenix.
Using the University of New Mexico
as medium of comparison, Flagstaff
Teachers look better than Tempe.
Tempe lost two and won two to the
University Of Arizona. Arizona lost
to the University of New Mexico by
an overwhelming score. Flagstaff
held New Mexico to a score of 29-17
and played evenly throughout the
game.
Comparative scores in basketball
are very unreliable however, SO no
prediction will be made besides say
ing that the Lumberjacks will be@vell
worth watching in the tournament,
and will fightfevery inch of the way.
Those making the trip were. in
charge of Coach T. D. Jessuppe and
Manager II. w. Denman.

In the Salt River valley the weather

Green peas came through the winter
with little damage; the spring crop is
now being harvested. In the Yuma
section, conditions have been unus-
ually good. The observer reports:
Temperature for week close to nor
nal. Relative humidity mostly low,
with light winds. Orange trees be-
ginning to blossom. Grapefruit trees
and later oranges are budding full.
For the warmer sections about Yuma

SEWARD HAS OPPORTUNITY
 TO SECURE GOOD BAND

Again Seward has the opportunity to secure a first class band Edward Berutto, the we'll known bandmaster and musician of Anchorage, arrived in Seward Wednesday, and will attempt to organize band of ten or fifteen pieces while here. It is to be hoped that he will receive liberal encourage ment from the city as good band like good newspaper, is an index of the progress of the city. The city coun- cil, chamber of commerce and business men should get behind MT. Berutto in his efforts to form this musical ne- cessity. It would be of great interest to tourists and place our city in the van among the other towns of the territory.
 MT. Berutto plays almost any known instrument and as teacher is with out a peer. He is stopping at the Se- ward Hotel.
