M0NOPLANE AMERICA"
 TESTS SATISFACTORY
Bertaud Has Open Break With Le- vine, Chief Backer-Claims Inter- ferenccs and Contract Changes Arc Being Made to Hamper Him Hints that Levine Would Well come Excuse to Call on Trip.

Roosevelt Field. L. T.. May IT LP The big three-lnotored Fokker monoplane, America, was given a weight lifting test today that was deemed satisfactory by the hiers. The American flew of with Bert Acosta. her navigator. and Lieuten- ants Neville and Balchen, carrying ll,35o pounds of water and sand.
 The monoplane rose from the ground after run of quarter of mile and made a short flight Lieut. Neville said the America acted fine" Later the America will have a test with loads of 13.ooo and 14.- 500 pounds. The monoplane, which will be flown by Commander Rich ard E. Byrd. will attempt the cross ing of the Atlantic with a load of l4.207 pounds.
 The announcement of the Ameri- cas- two further weight carrying tests illustrates the great pains of Commander Byrd to remove in ad- vance doubts of success. Captain Fonck's flight failed last fall. when his plane failed to rise from the ground with its full load. Command CT Noel Davis was killed this spring in test to determine whether his transatlantic plane could lift its full load. Today's announcement in- dicates that Byrd intends to make a test flight with almost 300 pounds more than the weight planned for take of on the flight to Paris.
 The second flight of the America was made with a load of l3,2so pounds. The huge craft took to the air easily after a run of approxi- mately 1.e00 feet
 Open Break Occurs
 New York. May 17 LF,-An open break between Lloyd Bertaud. navi- gator of the Bellanca monoplane Columbia and Charles A. Levine. chief packer of its proposed trans Atlantic flight threatened today to eliminate the plane from the tri- cornered race to Paris.
 Bertauds lawyer. Clarence W. Mutt. issued a statement charging Levine with deliberately delaying the take-on of the Columbia in order to allow Commander Richard E. Byrd's Fokker monoplane America and Capt. Charles E. Lindbergh's Ryan monoplane Spirit of St. Louis to get away first. This. he asserted. would provide an excuse for cancel lation of the Bellanca's flight.

Cool Dry Winds Not
So Good For Ranges

On the whole the week was cool and
dry with much freezing weather in
the northern half of the district, but
no damage occurred TO the range.
Water is reported to be diminishing
in the southern ialf of the grazing
area, but is. still adequate. Calves are
doing well, ranges continue fair to ex-
cellent, and livestock generally are
from fair to good. While the range is
drying in southwestern New Mexico,
cattle are in good condition. At
Nogales, water is fair, and stock and
range good. At Douglas, there has
been no change in conditions during
the week. In the Grand Canyon sec
tion range is good and cattle are fair
In the Seligman district cattle are
fair and water is apple. Around
Williams stock and range are fair. In
the neighborhood of Whiteriver the
range is excellent, and water and
stock are good. From Pinedale comes
report that range is good and cattle
are doing well. Water is reported
The Coconino sun., 1927-06-03

ADEQUATE in the Holbrook section and
stock and range condition fair. In
the vicinity Of Thatcher range and
grass are good, and stock are reported
fat. Range good in the Prescott dis
trict.
In the northern section fruit and
early vegetables were damaged by the
freezing temperatures. In the Salt
River Valley, the cool waether was
unfavorable for cantaloupes, but IA
vorable for wheat and haying. In
the Yuma section, the effects of the
hot weather of the middle OF the
month are now being seen; the sec
ond bloom of citrus dropped badly,
and the heat killed the newly started
buds of pecan trees. Colorado River
was expected to reach stage of 26.5
feet on May 80 with a steady drop
thereafter for about 10 days.

This year sees the close Of one of
the most successful years in Flag

J. @. Thomas, superintendent Of the
city schools.
Glad as the children were at their
prospective long vacation and glorious
days of fun at home and on vacation
trips, most of them felt regret at
leaving their teachers and the happy
memories connected with the school
rooms. Most of the students left
knowing that in the fall they would

Seen Road By Mir and Mrs Jack Maynard Who
 Warden Ash.

SO brought the car to a stop. The animal gave a few bounds and perchcd itself on another boulder. Mir May nard reached over and got his gun and was just taking aim when. with few more bounds the animal di, appeared in the weeds. Tracks were found which measured four inches across.
 When he could reach telephone Mir. Maynard got in communication with Fred Ash, county game warden. A posse was quickly organized and dogs were brought to be put on the trail A Woodstock dog picked up the trail where Mir. Maynard said he saw the animal and for four miles the hunters followed the trail over which the dog led them.
 Many people have doubted the sto- " of the mysterious animal. Some of them have been found to be exaggera- tions. Mir. Maynard is a sportsman and knows what he is talking about and when asked if he was sure that he saw an animal that is strange to these parts he said he knew what he saw The county game warden is convinced that there is a strange animal at laroe Nc one can tell what it is but if is a species of cat as evidenced by its tracks.
