Ranch Foreman
Stays Leopard

CLYDE Miller, foreman on the Ion
Harmon ranch in the Camp Wood
country, brought in the skin of a
Mexican leopard that he killed nine
miles south Of Camp Wood on j. A.
Bozarth's COW range, in what is known
as the Cypress mountain district.
"This is the first leopard killed in
this county in the last so years that
/ know of !" said Mr.. Bozarth.
Before he was skinned, the leopard
weighed 300 pounds and measured z
feet Z inches from the tip of his muz-
zle to the tip of his tail. The skin is
beautifully marked, just like the ones
seen in the circuses, but as yet it has
not been cured.
While riding the range on December
27, looking for outlaw steers, Miller
noticed the animals tracks in the
snow. Early the next morning at 3
o'clock, he and three or four cowboys
left the ranch house and took up the
trail. following it until late afternoon,
when they found the leopard "treed''
in his cave. The largest firearm that
could be mustered among the men
present was 80 calibre six-shooter.
AT once there began a scrap, mingled

when four of the dogs were killed by
the leopard. Miller emptied the six
shooter, each shot hitting, but the
leopard seemingly was not faxed.
He then went five miles to a ranch
house for 30-30 rifle. Even with the
larger calibered gun it took two shots
kill the bayed animal.
The animal, according to Mr.. Boz
Earth, has been IN the Cypress coun-
try for at least four or five years
Ramsey Patterson, cowman, ran him
once before but failed to tree" him.
1t is said that he has made speciality
Of calves during his domicile in the
Camp Wood district, killing, as Mr..
Bozarth puts it sthe Lord only knows
how many yearlings."
Pete White killed Mexican jaguar
about Is years ago in this same coun-
try, and ratified his hide for $3.50.

Will Investigate
Road Fund Again

Legislative investigation now start
ed into a shortage of funds in the
state highway department is nothing
new. Four years ago Governor Hunt
rather excitedIy advised the legisla-
ture that his newly appointed state
engineer had found no funds with
which TO prosecute further work on
the roads. Declaration was made
that about 100000 appeared to be
missing or overdrawn and rather
broad charges of mismanagement or
worse were made against the preced-
ing republican administration and its
highway management. The legisla-
ture authorized an investigation that
lasted couple of years and that spent
about 100000 in undertaking that re-
suited in no indictments and that APP
peared to have found nothing very
reprehensible.
Now, after four years of Hunt adj
ministration, the shortage is declared
to be around the same sum noted be-
fore. The governor blames the situa-
ton on the last legislature, which,, he
says, refused to make adequate ap-
preparations for expenditure by him.
Just how the shortage came about
may be learned after month or so,
though the investigating committee is
of the same political complexion pos
sessed by the officers investigated. In
the meantime the governor wants an
emergency appropriation for the de-
partment, something asked Of the ex-
traordinary session, just closed, but
refused by it.
One odd political feature is that the
state engineer during the Campbell
administration was Thomas Maddox,
who now is one of Governor Hunts
Colorado river commissioners, close in
the confidence of the executive.

the state board of education next week

profession, were made.

STUDENT AUTO OWNERS
IJNWELCOME AT COLLEGE
PRES. CAMMACE SAYS

"a student body that is governed
by code of honesty needs no honor
system" said Grady Gammage, pres
ident Flagstaff Teachers college, in
addressing the students of the college
last week in assembly.
Among the predominating qualities
college students should endeavor to
attain to become successful in their
college work, President Gammage
pointed out, are honesty, thrift, sim
plicity, earnestness, enthusiasm ami
moderation.
While the college does not resen-
Bile a banking organization, Presj-
dent Gammage said, students never
theless receive excellent training in
economy and thrift. There are no
plutocrats attending college here and
there are very few students, if any,
loaded down with any excess Of
wealth. Students are discouraged
from coming to Flagstaff in cases
where parents allow them to have au-
tomobiles
i believe boy or girl born of par
ents who have nothing to give them
but advice is a great deal better off
than the scion who inherits only his
family's wealth." the educator contin-
ued. Poverty is no affliction. The
ability to learn and while learning to
conserve, to economic and to be able
to plan your time are the fundamental
ingredients of success that a college
training can offer young people.
"That old fashioned willingness to
work persistently, everlastingly and
unremittingly is worth more than all
the wealth that can be left to you.
Success is not purchased, it is not
found on the campus under a silvery
pine, it can't be stolen nor can it be
inherited-you must earn it, come by
it by hard work.
In speaking of the brilliant student
and his success in life, President
Gammage said it was not always the
students who apparently seemed pos
sessed with all the inherent high in
tellectual qualities that make the
greatest successes. 1t is, however, US
ually the less brilliant student, the
average student, who, if he possesses
the capacity for hard work and works
along diligently, leaves the self-styled
brilliant student in cloud OF medi-
ocrity.
.'It's not what we have, it's the use
we make of it.
In concluding, the speaker said that
most of the failures in college here
could be traced back to the first six
weeks Of school. He emphasized that
the college is no place for the lazy,
the indolent and the shiftless.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

New business on the Boston wool
market continues quiet, opinion being
that mills are waiting the heavy
weight openings before placing large
orders. Since the first of the year a
large weight Of wool has moved to the
mills, large portion of this being on
orders placed in December for de-
ferred delivery. Prices remain firm
on all grades. Fine Territories,
Ohio's and some Australian woods
have been in demand, both wooden and
worsted mills making inquiries for
suitable stock.

WOULD CONSOLIDATE
STATE GOVERNMENT

Thirty-four state offices and de-
partments, boards and commissions
would be abolished in one fell swoop
and in their stead eight new depart
ments of state would be created to as
sist the state executive in much the
same manner that the president of the
United States has his cabinet All
this is called for by a civil admins
tration bill introduced in the house of
representatives by Elijah Allen, a re-
publican, who halls from Mesa.
The proposed act savors strongly of
an administration plan strongly ia
vored by the Campbell administration
when it was a power. Governor
Campbell thought highly Of the cabi-
net plan, but the legislature after
thinking it over a few days, decided
thumbs down.
According to the title of Represent
ative Aliens pet measure, 1t would
vitalize the executive powers of the
governor and add to his powers and
responsibilities of conducting the
principal departments of the state
government, heretofore created by
legislative enactment.
The operation of the act, however,
would not interfere with the election
of constitutional officers of the state
and the state tax commission.
Here are the proposed new depart
ments of states, the heads of which,
presumably, would act as the COVER
nor's cabinet: Department of military
affairs, finance, agriculture, public
welfare, public works and buildings,
reclamation and irrigation, education
and registration, labor and industries.
