will be made known to the Commits
sioners, School Board, Zoning Com
mission, congressional District COM
mittees and any other governmental
bodies necessary, he said, with recon-.
mendations from the federation con-
corning improvements and changes
thought best by the citizen groups.
Clayton Applauded.
No agency is better prepared to
carry on this work in the District than
the citizens groups, he continued, de-
claring that it is the biggest oppor-
tunity even presented to the citizens,
and that he felt confident that the
people will take advantage of the OPP
portunity.
The resolution pertaining to the
recent appointments to the Public
Utilities Commission by President
Coolidge was passed unanimously. 1t
read, in part: This association views
with great concern the apparent in
clination by the appointive power to
underestimate the great Importance of
designating men duly qualified for the
important work of considering all
matters pertaining to the various
public utilities of the District" The
mention of Mr.. Clayton's name
brought almost unanimous applause.
J. Clinton Hiatt introduced a reso-
luton asking the District Supreme
Court judges to name a member of the
Columbia Heights Association to fill
the position on the School Board now
vacant as the result of the resigna-
ton of e. G. Graham. The resolution
called attention to the fact that a
number of schools are located in the
Columbia Heights section and that
several members of the association are
capable of occupying a position on the
board. The resolution was adopted.
In passing the resolution favoring
Federal development of the Great
Falls power project, the association
went on record as favoring the Norris
bill, which was defeated in Congress
at a previous session. Senator Norris
will be requested to reintroduce the
bill.
Paving Project Favored.
Further resolutions favoring the
paving of Klingle road from Park
road to Cleveland Park, the widening
of Harvard street at Fourteenth street.

Muskrut Farm For
The Colorado RiUeT

And now comes fur farm in Mo-
have county, the first ia Arizona as
near as we know, and because of its
unusual features some data on it may
be good reading. Bud Fox and Reed
Van Worst are the originators of the
idea which sprung from the good re-
suits they have had trapping musk
rats on the Colorado river.
They now propose, and have started
operation for that matter, to pen sew
eral pair of muskrats and raise these
little animals for their hides which
bring from $1.50 to $3.50 when tanned.
Government statistics show that one
pair of muskrats resulted in a pen of
The Coconino sun., 1927-09-09

500 in three years time, interbred and
ALL The place they have selected for
their headquarters and have gotten
their leases, are about 5 miles above
Fort Mohave and Van Worst is down
there now starting to build the pens.
Muskrats have about five itters a
year with s to IL in a litter and they
mature in four or five months. From
their pelts are made beaver hats, most
Of the Hudson seal coats that are sold
as well as numerous other articles.
Many of the muskrats come from
Louisiana but this year over half of
them there were washed out and this
is given as an indication that the mar
ket will be even better this coming
year.
In couple of years Van Worst and
Fox expect to have quite an extensive
"muskrat farm. '--Kingman Miner.

Here's A Ddrned
Snake Afflicted
With HdLitOsis
Nebraska's snakes have halitosis.

Nebraska's snakes have halitosis.
Recently when Nathanial Waters Of
Broken Bow, Neb, walked into his
barn a. species of snake commonly
known as a spreading adder struck at
him and exuded some sort of moisture
which left it's victim too i'll to walk,
and physicians treated him for snake
bite poisoning.
Comes now Miss Caroline Stringer,
an Omaha Central high school natural
ist, with the statement that the
spreading adder's breath is worse than
its bite.
The snake is not a poisonous one,
she says, but has a severe case of bad
breath which tends to produce nausea
in it's victims.

Al Smith Of Ashfork says he had a
Dago working for him who was awful
afraid of snakes and kept asking
about rattlesnakes. Al said he told
him he'd better keep an eye peeled for
rattlers, but that the snake would
never strike until after sounding its
rattles.
One day as the Dago was sitting on
a log eating his lunch he looked down
near his feet and saw a rattler all
coiled ready to strike. He lifted his
legs carefully, with the intention of
running away on the other side of the
log when the snake began to rattle.
But just as he got his feet to the top
of the log the snake struck, hitting
the log only an inch or SO from the
Dago's leg. The latter beat it from
there and yelled:
"Son Of gun! Why you no ringa
da bell?"

arose to leave. Doctor" she said re-
provingly, "you never even looked to
