Highway Dept. Not
Broke, But Just
Horribly TIUisted

If the state highway department
had been closed last December 81 it
would have had balance on hand to-
day Of $23O,743.75, w. C. Lefebvre,
state engineer, Tuesday told the joint
legislative committee which is investi-
eating his conduct of the department.
This amount would represent the
excess of resources over liabilities, the
latter being estimated at $2,346, ,637. .06.
Lefebvre had told the committee at
the first hearing that his department
was solvent. Interrogated by Fred
Sutter of Cochise, chairman, as to the
meaning of the term, Lefebvre con-
tended that if the departments busi-
ness were closed up and he was forced
to iquidate he could pay off all his
debts and have something left over.
An audit of four years ago showed
deficit in the department of $1,209,-
342.77. While agreeing that the de-
partment owed somewhere in the
neighborhood of $800,000, Lefebvre
told the committee at the first hear
ing that there was no deficit in the
strict meaning of the term, and that
$175,000 of the 100000 could be met
by incoming revenue from the gaso-
line tax and other sources.

RELIC INDIAN MASSACRE?

An interesting exhibit in County
Attorney Frank NJ. Colds office is
an old army style "A double action
revolver, one Of the first models of
this make, encrusted with rust and
deposits of many years. 1t was
found by Charles P. Moose of Will
liams along with several others re-
Gently in side branch Of Sycamore
Canyon, southwest of here.
According to the opinion of experts
on firearms who examined it, it is at
least as or 30 years old, and its pres
ent condition would seem to indicate
that it had been exposed to the ele-
ments for that long.
1t recalls events in the earliest his
tory of. this part of the frontier and
probabilities are that it is a last mute
evidence of the tragedy enacted in
1878 when detachment of the army
was besieged and slain by the Indians
at this point, reinforcements arriving
from Fort Wingate too late.

Ford Wouldn't Take
Billion for C1nnerY

An offer of one billion dollars for
their stock in the Ford Motor COM
pany was refused within the last
thirty days by Henry Ford and Ed
sci Ford, the board of tax appeals was
told by John w. Prentice, of New
York.
He testified that on two previous
occasions, likewise, in 1924 and 1926
the Ford family rejected a spot cash
offer of one billion dollars for the
company.
Mr.. Prentice, a member of the
brokerage firm of Hornblower AMI
Weeks, was the second witness put
on the stand by former minority
stockholders of the company in the
renewed hearings here on their appeal
from a treasury assessment of $780,
100000 in additional taxes on sale of
their stock.
The progress made by the Ford
company since 1916, Prentice said,
was so rapid that it was impossible
to strike an average for stock valua-
tions. He pointed out that during the
"panic years" Of 1907 and 1908, when
industrial stocks declined generally,
the shares of the Ford Motor COM
pany forged ahead.

Finley Objects to
So Much SOb-Stuff

Sam Finley, former resident Of
Flagstaff, now of Phoenix, hands this
to the Arizona Republican:
Regarding your crack editorial JAN
uary %, LET Maudlin Sentiment Be
Restrained" :" 1t was good but it did
not go far enough. We, the people of
Arizona, would like to see the eight
murderers hanged tomorrow. Then
we feel it would be fair to us, to hang
about 20 more now in Florence, and
who will read this letter, and who will
have voice in the affairs of this
state. The Chinese murderers, from
Kingman, were guilty of first degree
murder. The Mohave county folks
convicted them Justly. I think this is
the first time a tong feud was shown
up and the perpetrators caught They
always have been able to dive into a
Chinatown warren, disappear COM
pletely and the rest Of the Chinese
simply said, mo sabby" But this
bunch happened to come into the baili-
wick of that splendid officer, Sheriff
Mahoney, who as always promptly did
his duty.
So we have four brutal murderers,
taking front page stuff Arizona has
the best peace officers, as whole, in
the west. They do some Incompatible
detective work, but they are unappre-
ciated, underpaid, sneered at, and
when they do score conviction,
maudlin, nawkish sentiment unlocks
the handouts. The murderer of Mrs.
Hale, poor old lonely, harmless lady,
for the sum of eleven dollars, sent a
chill of horror through our city. No
woman feels safe And a man on the
streets late at night needs gat. This
seemed to be one of those mysterious
crimes which would always remain
unsolved But a shrewd detective,
with no clues but hunch, caught the
murderer, who confessed. / don't
know Officer Lucy, but he cleared up
the most battling mystery our city
has had. / enclose $500 which You
will please hand him, not from me,
but as a small tribute from a citizen
who feels merit should be recognized.
A morning salutation in Phoenix
now is good morning, Gas man, were
you robbed last night? The present
crime wave is merely lack of respect
duty, the judge is too easy to deal
stern Justice, SO our laws are joke.
But don't forget we are paying the
price, paying it in the loss of morale,
paying it in our youths contempt for
the law, paying it in the loss of old
time neighborly helpful feeling, pay
ing in increased taxation.
1t cost Coconino county $4,000 to
convict Harry Nash of one of the most
cruel, unprovoked murders. His faith
er was wealthy, so last fall Harry
Nash climbed over the wall at Flor
ence, probably peeved at their movies
and now Coconino county is bonding
herself to pay her back bills.

CLARK CRAWLING AT 1T
AGAIN-IN BAKERSFIELD

Newspaper clippings from Bakers
field tell of the construction to begin
at once of $270,00O five-story office
building there, the superintendent of
which is Clark Granting, who super
intended the building of Flagstaff's
Hotel Monte Vista, and of whom one
of the Bakersfield papers says:
"Gramling has gained renown as one
of the master builders of the west.
He was general superintendent for
construction of the Hotel Ell TETON in
this city and since last May has been
in charge of a big hotel construction
job in Flagstaff"

BIG BOILER AT ELECTRIC
LIGHT PLANT INSTALLED

John Sullivan and Frank Harding
left Friday for Long Beach, Calf,
after completing the installation of
the big boiler at the Flagstaff Elec-
trio Light Co. plant. This boiler,
which is a Stirling product, has ca
pacity for 400 horsepower or more
than enough to carry the present LOAD
of the city by itself. It is built for a
200 pound pressure and has factory
test Of 300 pounds. 1t may be inter-
esting to know that it contains two
thirds of a mile of 3A inch tubing
Flagstaff water is so free from min
eral content that it is unnecessary to
purify it for power purposes. The
furnace under it, possibly the largest
one in town, measures 10x10x6 feet.
1t will be couple of weeks yet be-
fore the new boiler will be ready for
use as it will take that long to dry it
out and make connections.

Why Wouldn't
Mdnydnnd Be a
Suitable Name?

The proposal to change the name
of New Mexico made by the Albu-
querque Advertising club is not new.
Ever since the first state election in
1911, there has been talk of changing
the name but nothing has ever result
ed but a lot of discussion. The prin-
cipal argument in favor of change
is that people outside the state are
likely to get New Mexico confused
with Old Mexico. Big business firms
in New York and st. Louis are said
to have sent shipments of monkey
wrenches and derby hats into Old
Mexico, while others are declared to
have inquired what would be the ex-
port duties on orders from Albuquev-
que to Santa Fe.
At the first state legislature ses-
sion in 1912, the name of Acoma,
which is one of the most unique In
dian strongholds in the world and
which is located in this state, was
suggested for New Mexico. Now the
Albuquerque Advertising club wants
the state called Coolidge"
The Albuquerque Journal Wednes-
day morning says that IF there must
be any change in name it must be q
Spanish name. The idea of honoring
a president of the United States cam
not be opposed, but such change for
New Mexico would take away all as
sociation with our ancient Spanish
civilization. This is what we have
been dwelling upon in seeking to bring
tourists into the state. To rename
the state Coolidge would at once es-
tablish in the minds of the people of
the east that we are just another new
commonwealth of the modern day,
whereas we have history that is IL
lustrious and a civilization that is diff
ferent."

Scattering Rains
Help Range Some

{ Rainfall has been but moderate and
very scattered over the state during
the past week. the heaviest precipi-
tation, 0.66, falling at Prescott, where
the range is reported good. In the
Grand Canyon and Williams sections
range and cattle are good; some snow
still lies on the ground at Grand Can
yon. Feed and water are sufficient
and cattle are doing well at Pinedale:
at Holbrook the range is fair, cattle
have not changed, and the water is
low. In the Seligman section the
ground shows no snow, stock are fair,
and water is ample. At Whiteriver
the range is fair, and stock and water
are good. At Thatcher stock are fat,
and the grass and range are in good
condition. In the southern and ex-
treme southeastern grazing areas,
there has been no rainfall, the ground
is free from snow, and the stock and
range condition is good, the observer
at Douglas reporting no change dur
ing the week. Reports from Ft.
Bayard, New Mexico, state that cattle
are in good condition, range fair, and
the top soil is rapidly drying out.
Warmer weather caused the disap-
pearance of some snow IN north-cen-
trail Arizona. Spring grasses are
making good start in the foothills.
In the Salt River Valley peas are
progressing well, and spring lettuce
is growing nicely. There are plenty
of unpicked grapefruit in good con-
dition In the Yuma section cotton
came in well during the week, and
lettuce shipments have averaged ten
cars day with considerable still to
be shipped out.

'GAINST Law TO SHOOT
RABBITS WITHOUT LICENSE

Misinterpretation of Arizona game
laws is liable to land some of our
local sportsmen before the Judge
says Deputy Came Warden Charles
Simpson. The game law explicitly
states that no game animal, bird or
fish may be taken in any manner
without first having license. Many
hunters of rabbits think they can
shoot them without license because
they are not game animal but this
is not the case.
