j. S. PUZZLED OVER
TACNA-AR|CA ISSUE
Officials Still Hoping Chile
Peru Problem Will Be
Solved by PIebiscite.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite the growing difficulties of
it's position in :ne Tacna- africa con-
troversy in South America, the
American government apparently is
clinging to it's hope that the question
can be settled by plebiscite in the
disputed provinces.
1t was said at the State Department
today that the United States still was
driving toward a plebiscite, and that
both the interested parties--Chile and
Peruapepared to desire 1t.
Reports from South America have
indicated a growing pessimism there
over the possibility carrying into ef-
feet this portion of President
Coolidge's award as arbitrator, and
the American governments own rep
reSentatives at africa have indicated
that their situation was growing more
difficult instead of improving.
Decline to Discuss Suggestions.
But if these circumstances have
made any impression at the State
Department, officials today refused to
admit it. They declined to even dis
cuss suggestions from Latin American
circles that any diplomatic steps had
been taken or might be taken for a
solution without a plebiScite.
There is no doubt that behind the
screen of extreme secrecy the de-
partment is much concerned over the
situation in which 1t finds itself deeply
involved. When the negotiations be.
gan, department officials endeavored
to give the impression that President
Coolidge alone was handling the mat
ter as personal arbitrator, and that
the department had nothing to do
with it. Now, however, it is evident
that the most important officials Of the
department are giving the contro-
verSy their earnest attention, and are
wondering how it all will come out.
On some occasions in the past diplo-
matte channels have been utilized in
an effort to smooth over the stu
alton at africa, but apparently with
little avail.
Suggestions Are Ignored.
Suggestions that other South Amer
lean countries might be willing to
intervene, and thus lift some of the
load of embarrassment from the State
Department, have been in circula-
ton in the Latin American diplomatic
corps here and in the South American
capitals. No one is willing to dis.
CltSc where tiIeSe SuBScSilOIlS
from, but it is quite clear that they
aroused no enthusiasm among the
South American countries mentioned
as possible mediators.
For a long time. too, suggestions
that the plebiscite be abandoned and
some other method of settlement be
sought by the United States have
been floating about in the diplomatic
over-the-teacups discussions OF Wash
ington and the southern capitals, but
how far that proposal has gone, and
what part the State Department itself
may have taken in the movement re-
mains undiscloSed.
Whatever it amounted to, it def
nitely seems to have failed, and the
department is as much at a loss as
ever to find any solution aside from
the much discounted plebiscite.

COUNCIL PICNIC SUNDAY
AT SPRINGS; SCENERY
SUPERB HOPKINS SAYS

Mayor |. B. Koch and City Coun-
cilmen Waldhaus, Hogan, Tissaw,
Nackard, Babbitt and Beeson drove
up the new pipeline road Sunday on
an inspection trip. Mr. Koch was ac-
companied by Dave Hopkins, purch-
asing agent of the United Verde Co.
of Clarkdale, and his daughter, and
Clark Gramhng, superintendent of
hotel construction. The party had
luncheon at the top. The visitors
were enthusiastic over the wonderful
view.
This new road is fine and safe, easy
to climb without heating the car en-
gine, and it is hard to imagine and
impossible to describe the wonderful
view it affords of forest, mountains
and desert for hundreds Of miles in
every direction.
Mr.. Hopkins said Tuesday that the
view up there is the most wonderful
and remarkable in America. He said
the mountain drive out of San Fran
cisco, noted the world over, is tame
in scenic comparison with this one.

Beceril home and then stuck Mary
up for $50 under threat of going to
jail, for which playful trick Tex is
still in county jail awaiting trial.
Judge Jones year ago had fined
Beceril $500, along with a years sus-
pended Jail sentence, on a booze
charge. This time he showed his ver-
satility by filming him $500 and send
ing him to Jail for six months.
Then the officers, resolved on max
ing a night of it, visited the 'dobe
house of A. Marquee, over near the
Flagstaff Lumber Co. mill. They had
heard that Beceril and Marquee
who occasionally acts as interpreter
were financially interested toAeth-
er in chickens or something. They
thought it was a residence, but once
they were inside discovered it was a
busy brewery, and nothing else but.
They accumulated three barrels of
mash and 40 gallons of wine. Mar
quez lost his swarthy look when the
officers came in and hadn't entirely
recovered from his pallor when he ap-
peared, yesterday afternoon, before
Police Magistrate Clarence L. Pulli-
am, who bound him over under $500
bail for hearing tomorrow.

GREAT BUILDING ACTIVITY
MORMON AND MARY LAKES

C. G.. McKim, lessee of Lake Mary
camp, the name of which be has
changed to Usage Lodge, is doing
some fine improvement work there.
The big rock building begun by a
former lessee is now almost COM
pleted. 1t is 38x85 feet and an ex-
tension Is feet wide has been added.
1t viii be used for dance hall and
store. Pete Solberg has the contract.
The present store and dining room
viii be built in the near future. Mr..
McAim is daily turning away people
who want cottages.
At Mormon Lake there is greater
building activity than before in any
one year. Truck-loads of lumber are
daily being hauled for new cottages
being built by l. H. Swisher, Captain
Sigh, Dan and Joe Francis and Bah
bits, as well as for many individ-
uals who have leased building sites
from the forest reserve. With all the
building done last year there is not
enough shelter for the people there
for vacation, many of whom want to
stay all summer, and indications are
that the building being done this year
is only a small fraction of what will
have to be done before there are IS
near enough at this most popular re-
sort in the state.

SHERIFF FOUND CATTLE
MISBRANDED UP NORTH

Sheriff John Parsons and County
Ranger J.-B. Hoffman returned yes
terday noon from Lees Ferry coun-
try where they had gone to investi-
gate cattle conditions on complaint
made by the VI outfit that the Sid
Wilson outfit of Lees Ferry had been
marking and burning over cattle
brands. Sheriff Parsons reported that
he had found several cattle which
showed they were misbran;ed. It
was also reported that six head were
driven TO Cedar City, Utah, and sold
there. Wilson has left the country,
and according to the sheriff he IS
supposed to be in Wisconsin.
Parsons reports that range condi-
tions in that country are in better
shape than he has seen them IN a
number of years. The cattle are tat.
He said Uncle Jimmie Ovens buff
falo are in excellent shape. He saw
something like a dozen or more buf-
falo calves of this years crop and
they looked good. The roads are not
in the best shape, but are passable.
The rains have been good at House
Rock Mesa, he said.

HENRY ALBERS CANDIDATE.
FOR SUPERVISOR; HIGHLY
QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB

Henry L. Albers is in the race for
county supervisor from District No. l.
Though it had been pretty generally
known for some time that he would
try for the place, he did not file his
candidacy papers until this week.
Many of Mr.. Albers' friends urged
him to become candidate. His en-
ergy and recognized ability as busi-
ness man convince them that he Will
make valuable man in that import
ant position, involving as it does the
handling of great deal of the tax
payers money.
Mr.. Albsrs is a good business man.
The Flagstaff Steam laundry, which
he startej, has grown until it is sec
ond to none in the state and is SAID
to be one of the best equipped in the
southwest. Henry's success has come
through his ability and also his,capa-
city for good, hard work with mighty
little time off for sleep or vacations.
But along with his work he has found
time TO take an active part in social
and civic affairs. He now is the ex-
alted ruler of the local Elks lodge, in
which he has for years been an ac-
tive member. In fact, he once before
held that office.
A pretty heavy taxpayer himself,
this, with his business training as
sufes the taxpayers that if he is e.
ected he will do his utmost toward
giving a strict business administra-
ton to the affairs of the county. He
IS progressive, and q builder, there
fore may be counted on to stand for
progress. On the other hand he is
conservative, one who carefully thinks
things out, and will be against useless
expense and waste of every sort. He
is a good man for this important Of
flee.

TOM [. REES AGAIN
CANDIDATE FOR CLERK
OF SUPERIOR COURT

Tom L. Rees this week formally
announces his candidacy, subject to
the democratic primaries, for rel
| election as clerk of the superior court
of this county.
In the several years Tom has held
that office it has been handled as it
should be. He is an able official, care
full and CONSCIENTIOUS. He is always
on the job, courteous to all with
whom he has dealings and up to the
minute in his work There is null
titude of detail connected with the
office and a lot of responsibility.
Familiarity with every phase of this
detail, if Toms other qualifications
were not so high, would constitute
a strong reason for reelection.
Largely because it is an office con-
nected with superior court, in which
the judges term is four years, the
term in this case also is four years.
AS with the judgeship, the trainers of
the constitution felt chat it would be
unwise to invite too frequent change
in the administration of the office by
holding the elections every two years.
Mr. Rees is the kind of man the
voters are fortunate TO nave IN OIL
flee, because he treats it as real
job. If reelected for another four
years he may be depended upon to
continue to treat it as a real job, as
honest men treat any job they may
have to do.
Tom Rees is known to every man
and woman and most every child IN
Coconino county. They like and re-
spect him for his sterling qualities
as friend, neighbor and all-around
good citizen.
So far no one else has given any
indication of trying for the office.
There was no candidate against him
four years ago and the feeling that
seemed to prevail then that he was
too good an official to dsp ace,
seems to prevail now

Mr. Doney is one of the very few
old veterans of the Civil war and a
patriotic citizen who has always been
progressive and helpful in the up
building Of the county. He is nue.

OFFICERS RAID CHICKENS
MAKE BIG BOOZE HAUL
HEAVY FINES AND JAIL

Through the vigilance of Claude
Tackitt, the ever-on-the-job night city
marshal, Flagstaff consumers were
deprived of a lot of high-grade booze
night before last.
Claude spotted a car from Jerome
and watched it unload at A. Beceril's
home on the southside. He got City
Marshal Justin R. Cooper and Depu-
ty Sheriff Art Vandevier and paid a
social call on Beceril.
The visit extended all through the
house. There seemed to be no spir-
its more convivial than mine host and
his wife and their pretty daughter,
Mary. The other officers began to
wonder whether Claude hadn't picked
a bad night for the party.
The party adjourned outdoors. The
Becerils have fine chicken coop. The
officers thought their visit wouldn't
be complete unless they paid their re-
spect to the chickens. They had heard
that hens never lay eggs at night be-
cause then they are roosters. So they
went into the chicken coop to see if
this well-known scientific fact had To-
cal veflflcatlon.
The chickens looked innocent. Prob
ably they were. But they had con-
tributed all the covering to 10 gall
Ions of Jerome's best product found
beneath them. Whether Beceril be-
lieves some other substance than wood
