COMMUNITY LIBRARY ENTERS
UPON 5TH YEAR.

The Community Library is now
entering upon its fifth year.
Bv gift and purchase it has ac-
eumulated over fourteen hundred
$4,000 volumes, embracing a variety
of subjects: biography. travel, his
tory. gardening, etc, excellent rel
erence books, and over a hundred
carefully selected books for children;
With the exception of memorial
gift. the funds are derived entirely
from the membership dues, wnlcn
are one dollar year per member,
with the privilege Of taking out two
books twice week.
Considering the present price OF
books. it can be readily seen tnat
without the support Of our interested
public it is impossible to make the
library rapidly growing, up TO date
institution: our institution of which
our little town might be proud. and
which place of this size should have.
a membership would make a nice
Christmas gift: two hundred and
eight hooks for half the price of one
book. It's worth considering.
Attorney James NJ. Mason. Jr..
acting for his client, Herbert Jones,
of Ransom. has entered suit against
the Northern Virginia Power %.
The suit. in which damages to the
amount of $4,000 are asked, is the
result of injuries sustained by Jones,
when he came into contact with one
of the high voltage lines of the pow
er company's early in the fall. Jones
was taking his horse out to pasture
near his home. on the outskirts OF
Ranson. when the animal touched a
wire from a pole damaged in storm
shortly before. The horse, upon re-
ceiving the shock, jerked the enaih
halter from Jones hand, saving ms
life. AS it was. his arm was so severe
ly burned that, for time; anpuI .-
ton seemed necessary. Inc morse
died.

had been doubtful of the outcome. The tide turned against it when the word spread that several sena- tors usually lined up behind admin istration measures had refused to heed the plea to rally to it's defense. The strength of the opposition in- creased after Senator Fess inserted an amendment to provide for col lection of an amortization charge and for repayment of loans made out of the $10Q,000,000 revolving fund in S3 years.
 Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the democratic floor leader. mean while had been advocating a solid party lineup behind q substitute pro- posal looking to reductions in tariff rates. Only three democrats voted for the Tess rider, while 52 opposed it. The republican count was s for land 21 against, while the one far imer-labor member also voted in the negative.
 When the Robinson rider was ad- vanced, howevea it ran into bitter opposition As offered, it would have directed the tariff commission to in vestigate foreign and domestic pro- duction costs wth a view to lower ling duties on articles used by the farmer. Senator Curtis. of Kansas, the republican leader, proposed an Iamendment to direct the commission Ito determine whether tariff rates icould be raised or lowered without injury to agriculture, and accepted a suggestion by Senator Reed. demo- crat, Missouri, to provide q S10,O0O fine or one year imprisonment for interference with the commission by any government official.
 After the senate voted 47 to S1 ill Ifal or of the amended Curtis amend .ment to his rider, Senator Robinson
 withdrew 1t on the ground that it had emasculatcd by the republican leaders proposal This action auto- Imatically eliminated all three tariff ideas from further consideration.

John Prosek, of Denver. The sixth
man who is not expected to live is
Hartsell Thompson, of Fort Collins.
The accident occurred two miles
in the tunnel when the roofing tim
bers. gave way, trapping the men.
All available workmen were rush
ed to the scene of the accident to
dig feverishly in the debris in the
slight hope that the trapped men
may have escaped being crushed to
death by timbering that may have
formed protective covering for their
bodies.
Late advices tonight at the offices
of Hitchcock and Tinker, contract
ors in charge of boring the tunnel,
declared little hope was held out
that rescue workers would be able
to reach the bodies of the men known
10 be buried before early tomorrow
morning. Tons of rock and debris
mark the spot where the timbering
collapsed and this all must be re-
moved before the rescue workers can,
reach the men.
While rescue workers continue to-
dig through the rock to reach the
men other workers are timbering
and bracing that already in place in
order to prevent any further col
lapse.
John Adams, Jr., son of the shift
boss, who operates an electrical train
in the tunnel was standing within a
hundred feet of his father when the
crash came. He saw his parent en-
quilted in the swirl of rocks and made
frantic efforts to rescue him and
barely escaped with his own life.

new BUCKS NOW
ON DISPLAY BY
LOCAL DEALERS

The new Bucks for 1927 are now on
display in the showroom of the South
ern Arizona Auto company, local Buick
dealers.
There are 16 body styles, mounted on
chassis lengths Of 112 1-2, 12O and 12S
inches. The line is made up of four
sport type open cars and IL closed
cars.
According to Geo. E. Jackson, the
Buick engineering department. has de-
around Buick features of the past,
bat with additional improvements
which are in most cases entirely new
in the industry
'The problem of period, vibration
has been solved in the new Buick,
Jackson said. This is accomplished
by a courter balanced, four bearing
crankshaft in combination with light
cast iron pistons, heavy flywwheel
and an exclusive Buick creation called
the torsion balaneer.
Counter weights are used to keen
the crankshaft from DETECTING. They
also balance the Shaft so perfectly that
therei no high bearing pressure or
whipping out of line, which are the
main causes of engine rumble, noise
and roughness.
ANY crankshaft, no matter how sci
entifically worked out, has periods of
torsiohal vibration. The torsion ball
anced absorbs the tendency of the
shaft to twist under the power i'm
pulses and delivers these impulses
back to the shaft after the piston
forces are spent. In this manner 1T
irons out vibration periods and gives
the engine a smooth flow of power
throughout the speed range. The light
pistons and heavy flywheel help OBJ
tain this result.
1T will be necessary to completely
change the oil in the new Bucks only
four times a year. This is possible
ecause the solution of the crankcase
dilution evil has been found and the
oil is kept full bodied for long periods
of time
This is accomplished by vacuum
ventilator without moving parts, an air
cleaner and oil filter which keep all
abrasives out of the oil and with the
