PHONE SYSTEM BURNS
AT ST. PETERSBURG
Short Circuit in Central Plant Cuts
Off City-Two Weeks Re
quired for Repair.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. Septem-
her 21.-St. Petersburg last night
was without telephone cOmmunica-
ton except at four emergency sta
tons as the result of a fire early this
morning at the central station in
which the main distributing system
was destroyed.
An emergency crew of 200 men,
dispatched from Tampa by the PENN
sular Telephone Co., is working day
and night to repair the damage, but
it was estimated that it will be two
weeks before normal service is re-
stored.
There was no way to estimate the
damage, officials of the company said.
Four emergency stations have been
set up at downtown points for long
distance calls only and the company
is making an effort to give lOng-dis-
lance service through messengers
from the four stations.
The fire was caused by d short cir
cut in ii high-tCnsiOn current. Great
balls Of fire leaped from the trellis
Of wires and an employe at the plant

Fire eXtinguishers were used and
the fire department was called. Prac-
tically all the damage was to the wire
system and slight injury to the build
ing by water.
Nine thousand pairs of wires in the
distributing system were put out of
commission by the short circuit and
10000 telephones were affected.

FLAGSTAFF BUSINESS
BUILDING THIS YEAR

During the past eight months
Flagstaff's construction program
within the business district has
reached a total of $685. $50, far sur
passing s months of any previous
year. Naturally the construction of
the new Monte Vista hotel has ma
terially added to this total with a
valuation of $165,00O and on final
completion this latter amount will be
S260,000.
Considering the fact that residen-
tial building has not been included in
this total amount, this is recognized
as being a stupendous building pro-
gram for city the size of Flagstaff.
Many new homes i'll the city are
also under construction, which would
raise the grand total at present
close to the half-million mark
With such healthy development as
this along with the apparent in
crease in business this year gives
evidence that Flagstaff will soon be
in a decided position of importance
in the southwest.

PLAY UP SNAKES AND
TOADS LESS, INDUSTRIES

Advancing the idea that Arizona
publicity should not only stress the
primitive phases of this great south
west, such as the Indians, rattle
snakes, horn-toads and deserts, but
also should give plenty of pictorial
space to the healthy industrial de-
velopment of the state and to farm
ing, raising of fruit and the breeding
of cattle, the Flagstaff Chamber of
Commerce has written to all Cham
bers of Commerce in the state asking
assistance in supporting this issue.
It is the generally accepted fact
that Arizona is known throughout
the United States particularly for its
Indians and snakes and that there is
very little known about the modern
conveniences of this section and the
industrial expansion that is taking
place every day. Many letters re-
ceived by the local Chamber give ev-
idence to the fact that very little if
anything is known about Arizopa as
one of the foremost and progressive
states of the union. Passers through
appear astonished at the remarkable
growth and business-like atmosphere
of this state.

BETTER GAME LAWS
NEEDED by ARIZONA

Past experience in Arizona has
been that the vast majority of voters
will vote mo" on any initiative or
referred measure The reason gem
orally is that the voter has not taken
the time to find out if the measure
has any real merit Or not.
With the idea OF furnishing the
reading public with the absolute
facts, the Arizona Game Protective
association, composed of over $500
men who hunt and fish and the or
ganization truly interested in insur-
ing an adequate supply of both game
and fish for the fut ure, has proposed
a series of short articles dealing with
the necessity now of changing our
game and fish laws
The Arizona CAME Protective as
ISOLATION is response bic for Senate
Bill No. 81, which s being referred
to the people at the coming election
in November. This measure will be
voted on under No. !l02 on the ballot.
The passage of this measure will en-
able. up-to-date laws to be enacted
and bring Arizona i,ut of the unde-
sirable position of having notorious
" inefficient laws.
Any old-time res ident of Arizona
knows what has been happening, and
what is now happening, to our game
and fish. Ten to fifteen years ago
we had a far greater supply of big
game and our streslms were better
stocked than at present. The game
and fish in Arizona represent most
valuable asset to the state and are
worthy of at least serious consider
alton to even save che remnant.

PROPOSED CHARTER
is DEFEATED BY
VOTE nE on Trn

With total poll OF 147 votes, the
new city charter, proposed by the
Board of Freeholders, elected last
May to draft and submit o charter
to replace the antiquated document
under which the government of the
city of Winslow now operates, was
rejected by vote of 81 to sc.
The result of the special election,
held last Friday at the city hall,
came as a distinct shock to a great
many citizens of the city, who did
not bother to go to the polls and
cast their ballot, inasmuch as it was
generally believed that the new char
ter would be adopted by an over
whelming majority, as it called for
no radical departures from the pres
ent form of city government, merely
affording sound legal foundation to
support the ordinances now in effect.
There is considerable sentiment
among citizens who realize the
shortcomings of the present charter,
that another election be held. The
matter will be discussed at the next
meeting of the city council but no
announcement has been made regard
ing what action may be taken at
that Winslow Mail.
