station was entered with the object
of getting possession of the trunks
in which there may have been in

No Headway Made
At Denver Farley

Setting forth the reasons for its
refusal in 13-page typewriter docu-
ment, the California river commission
at Denver Wednesday delivered to the
seven state Colorado river conference
its reply to the upper basin COVER
nors' proposal for the settlement of
the water division controversy be-
tween California and Arizona. Cali
mand for 100000 acre feet of wa
ter annually.
Sections and Of the upper basin
proposal, giving Arizona 100000
acre feet Of water annually from her
tributaries and allocating to each of
three lower basin states the tributary
waters within their boundaries was
accepted in toto by the California
delegation. California, however, dis
sented from the proposal that all ap-
portionments should include waters
for Indian lands and from that pro-
vision Of the plan giving California
and Arizona one-half of the unallo-
Gated water for use until 1868.
Senator Winsor stated to the COM
mission that Arizona is unwilling to
close door to further negotiations and
progress toward development of Colo
rado river. On behalf of Arizona
commission he presented written
statement to conference that Arizona
is prepared to enter into agreement
on water division provided an agree
nent can be reached on benefits to be
derived from development of hydro
electric power and that no power
works shall be constructed on the
lower river pending arrival at such an
agreement.
The Arizona commission further
requested from California and Ne
vada unequivocal answers to two ques-
tions. namely, whether they were pre-
pared at this time to conclude an
agreement with respect to benefits
from development Of power or in
event they are not ready to negotiate
such an agreement whether they
would agree that no development OF
power should be initiated until an
agreement.

NeU Ambassador
Named For Mexico

Apparently determined to leave no
stone unturned toward settlement OF
the Mexican problem before his term
expires, President Coolidge disclosed
Tuesday that he had drafted Dwight
W Morrow, his friend and college
classmate, and a partner in the New
York banking firm of j. p. Morgan
and company, for duty as ambassador
to Mexico.
The appointment was approved
Tuesday by the Mexican government
and was announced Immediately at
the White House.
Mr.. Morrow will sever his connec-
ton with the Morgan company at
once. The president expects him to
take up his duties in Mexico City un-
der recess appointment without delay,
although the exact date of his depar-
ture has not been fixed. He succeeds
James r. Sheffield, resigned.
That Morrow's selection would
meet opposition because of his con-
nection with the Morgan company
which has been closely identified with
dealings between American bankers
and Mexico on loan problems, was
recognized at the state department
eevn before the presidents decision
became known.

ANNUAL MEETING STATE
GAME PROTECTIVE ASSN.
TOBE HERE NEXT MONTH

Next month, probably Friday, Oc-
tober 21, the annual meeting of the
Arizona Game Protective association
will be held in Flagstaff.
The members of the Flagstaff
Came Protective association are look
ing forward to this meeting and the
opportunity of making the visit of
the delegates pleasant. The organi-
zation meeting of the state associa-
tion was held in Flagstaff in 1923,
since when the movement has spread
and today II local organizations are
functioning with q total membership
of over 1900.
During the past year the work of
the state organization has been CEN
tered on needed revision Of the game
and fish laws. Though this measure
passed both houses without opposi-
ton, it was vetoed on account Of OBJ
lection to several clauses Elimina-
tion of the Objectionable clauses
should enable the passage of this ex-
cellent measure before long.
Increased interest in proper sea-
sons, adequate game warden force
and stocking of our lakes and streams
is found today all over Arizona.
Flagstaff is fortunate with her many
nearby lakes and forest area that
should be furnishing legitimate hunt
ing for all We need a number Of
we'll chosen though not too large game
refugees, which would insure sane
tuaries for the wild animal life and
result in a surprising increase in
game Of all kinds, as has been 50
wonderfully demonstrated in Penn
sylvania during the past 15 years.
Every business man in Flagstaff
has profited either directly or indi-
rectly by the fishing at Lake Mary
and Mormon Lake The same can be
said relative TO the hunting season
when many men from other sections
of the state select Flagstaff as the
starting point of their hunt. The
Flagstaff Game Protective associa-
ton, therefore, is an organization
that is working for the interests Of
the business men of Flagstaff anc
every business organization shoulc
support this work at least to the ex-
tent Of holding membership or two
every year.

PLEASURE TRIP HALTED
BY HOSPITAL DETOUR

w. B. Curtis who came here the
evening of August 20 and was oper-
ated on at Mercy hospital that night
by DIR. Charles Ploussard for rup-
tured ulcer of the stomach, left for
his home in El Paso, Texas, Tuesday
morning on the limited train. He was
accompanied by his wife who has been
his constant attendant since the oper-
alton.
They had been on a vacation tour
of California by auto and to the
Grand Canyon, when taken suddenly
i'll. He did not realize there was any
thing serious wrong with him until
they were about 20 miles from here.
Mr.. Curtis is associated with the
El Paso Sash and Door Co. He has
been trying for II years to visit the
Grand Canyon, and enjoyed it very
much except for the little detour to
the hospital.
He and his estimable wife speak
very highly Of courtesies shown them
by Flagstaff people and their treat
ment at Mercy hospital.

COUNTY ASSESSOR R.
H. MARINE EXPLAINS
new GAS REBATE LAW

The county assessors office In Co
conino county will soon be supplied
with gasoline exemption application
blanks for the fuel used by tractors,
stationary engines and any machine
or apparatus not operating on road,
according to an announcement made
by R. Howard Marine, county asses
sor.
The gasoline retail dealer no long
er has the authority or privilege to
grant rebates when motor fuel for
tractors, stationary engines and such
machines, entitled to exemption from
the gasoline tax, is sold, Mr.. Marine
explained. The operator must pay
for his gasoline plus the state tax,
and then file claim for exemption on
the latter through the new motor We
hicle division Of the Arizona highway
department, which was recently
transferred from the secretary Of
state.
All applications must be forwarded
direct to the motor vehicle division in
Phoenix, which is headed by e. M.
Whitworth.
The filing Of the application blanks
with the necessary information must
be witnessed and testified to by q
notary public and the original in
voice mailed to the highway depart
mont, Mr.. Marine said 1t is desir-
able that the applications be mailed
within a period of 80 days after pur-
chase, the highway department max
ing its rebate ordinarily within pc
riod Of week or 10 days.
Mr.. Marine says that he hopes to
be in receipt Of a supply of the appli-
cation blanks within few days and
tax exempt gasoline users may secure
them from his office.

Mesa Starts War
On Peddler Tribe

Today sees the opening Of the
great trade-at-home campaign of the
Mesa Chamber of Commerce, Mesa
merchants, and Mesa Journal Tribune.
Elsewhere in this paper appears a
full-page advertisement setting forth
reasons why Mesa people show good
business judgment when they buy
their necessities and luxuries from
local business houses, and show the
fly-by-night peddler the gate
The peddler is always at work. He
is usually a slick talker-if he wasn't
he would never make a sale. He de-
pends on his powers of craftsmanship
to hypnotic the victim into thinking
he is getting something for prac-
tically nothing, or at least for a
great deal less than the same article
can be purchased at home.
In a majority of cases the victim
wakes up and realizes that he--or she
has been stung. He always does
when he makes an unbiased investi-
cation. Still the willy peddler comes
back, sometimes not in person but IN
the guise of mail-order catalogue
with vivid pictures and glitteringly
worded descriptions, and does his
singing all over again.
Slowly, however, the peddler is los
ing his grip. His glib talk does not
sound so convincing. But what the
average person requires is education
Of the danger, and a set of concrete
facts to present in refutation of the
itinerant's arguments.
This is the object of the Chamber
of Commerce Mesa Journal Tribune
campaign. A series of full page adj
vertisements will be published in this
paper to supply its readers with the
facts which they need in order to re-
pei the invasions of the willy peddler.
