Will Ship Copper
Via Los Angeles

The vast tonnage of copper produced
in Arizona will be shipped through
San Pedro harbor in the next few
years, if negotiations now under way
are consummated, according to Robert
e. Tally, general manager of the
United Verde Copper comany.
''Los Angeles sharbor at San Pedro
is the logical shipping center for Arr
iona copper because of its geographic
location and steamship lines on which
intercoastal rates are lower than the
railroad tariffs. The United Verde
company is now producing 100000
pounds of copper a month, of which
Is per cent is now being shipped thru
the harbor here"
Los Angeles, Mr.. Tally believes,
will become copper refining center
within the next ten years. Increased
population and the addition of new
industries will make it necessary to
refine copper here. At the present
time most Of the Arizona copper is
shipped via rail to Galveston, he said,
thence by team to the eastern coast.

Bids Wanted For
HOLbrOOk Bridge

Calls for bids to be opened in the
office of the state engineer, Deem
Der 6, for the construction of a bridge
over the Little Colorado river at
Holbrook, has been issued by the
Arizona State Highway Commission.
This section, Schedule /, will in
clude bridge of 397 feet and approx
imately u mile of approach fills. The
present structure is narrow steel
bridge in very bad condition, too
light for heavy traffic over this high
way.
The new bridge consists of four low
steel truss spans of 871a feet, each
on reinforced concrete piers and abut-
ments. The roadway is a reinforced
concrete slab 10 feet between curbs
and four foot concrete sidewalk on
each side. The total length of the
roadway slab is 397 feet.
Three hundred and sixty thousand
pounds of structural steel, $4,000
pounds of reinforcing steel and 800
cubic yards of concrete will be used
and the old structure will be removed.

BURGLARS MAKE
TWO HAULS SUNDAY

Burglars, thought to be tourists,
made two hauls in Winslow early
Sunday morning, when the Evans
Motor Co. service station in the 400
block on West End and the Cebellos
service station near the round house
were broken into.
The robbers made their entrance
through window at the Evans sta
ton and took four large Kelly-Spring-
field tires and tube and S13 in cash
from the register. No other articles
were reported missing by the proprie-
tor who notified City Marshal G. w.
Harp at Z o'clock Monday morning.
The lock on the gasoline pump at
the Cebellos station was broken and
80 gallons of gasoline were taken.
Both jobs were attributed by the of
ficers to the same bandits, who are
believed to have continued vest

E. G. Attaway of Mesa with whom
she visited several months during the
winter of 1925.

Snow PlOWs Are At
Work ON North Rim

Although climatic conditions on the
south rim of the Grand Canyon are
such that the National Park is open
throughout the year for visitors to
enter either by rail or auto and hotel
facilities for tourists are available the
year round, the reverse is true for the
more elevated north side of this gil
gantic chasm. From the latter part
of October until the middle of May
heavy SHOWS and freezing tempera-
lures discourage even the most ven
turesome from entering the isolated
north rim.
For the first time this season snow
plows were brought into use on the
north rim of the Canyon when the
Kaibab Plateau was recently buried
beneath Is inches of snow.
The $550,000 hotel development pro-
gram of the Union Pacific system,
which is to be completed on Bright
Angel Point by June first, can only
be accomplished by maintaining open
roads to permit continuous trucking
of supplies. To maintain open roads
it is necessary to overcome adverse
climatic conditions Of drifting SHOWS
and penetrating temperatures. Rotary
and gang snow plows operated by
Union Pacific employees out of the
north rim of the Grand Canyon and
out of Cedar City, Utah, will attempt
to relieve the situation so that the
development program shall not suffer
from a lack of material.
According to Superintendent NJ. R.
TiIlotson, this is the first attempt in
history to keep open the road leading
across the Kaibab Plateau to the
north rim of the Grand Canyon.

Call for Bids On
PrescOtt-Ash
Highway No. SO

Call for bids on 4.3 miles of paving
on the Prescott-Ashfork highway, u.
S. Route No 80, to be opened in the
office of the State Engineer Nov. 81,
1927, at 2 P. NJ, has been issued by
the Arizona State Highway Commits
sion The pavement will be 20 feet
wide, extending from Prescott north
43 miles towards Ashfork Bids will
be on alternate types.
This road was constructed in 1922
and realigned and reconstructed in
1926, bringing it UP to standard width
and condition forsfirst class pavement.
The time for the completion of this
section for traffic is estimated at 120
days
This is the widest pavement the
state has laid, according to depart
ment engineers, and width is amply
justified by reason Of the heavy
traffic.
A new departure from the Depart
nent's standard practice of construc-
ton is to be made on this work, and
that is, in the event of concrete
pavement being the low bid it will be
constructed in two strips, leaving open
at all times at least one-half Of the
width of the roadway for the unin-
terrupted use of the travelling public.
Owing to minimum temperatures
anticipated radical departure in
curing methods at least for Arizona
will be necessary; therefore this
construction is awaited with interest
by Arizona engineers and others in
terested in pavement construction.

ARIZONA INDIAN is
ORDERED TO PAY TAX

Because the United States govern
ment gave the father of Little Sill
versmith, an Arizona Navajo Indian
two eve sheep in 1868, Little Silver
smith now believes he should be ex-
empt from taxes on the two ewes
1000 descendants and exempt from
taxation on 100 head Of cattle traded
for wooden blankets sheared from the
backs of the sheep and woven by his
tribesmen.
The United States circuit court of
appeals at San Francisco this week
ruled otherwise, however, and upheld
the decision of the Arizona federal
court, ruling that the gift in question
was one from father to son and not
from the United States to Little Sill
versmith's father. Even though Lit
tie Silversmith is a ward of the gov
eminent, his property is liable to taxa
ton, the court ruled.

Young Lady Nurse
Wants Damp Wet Job

Nogales must and will have har-
Dor by 1923! The following letter,
addressed to the Nogales Wonderland
club, was received from Pittsburgh,
Pa, by young lady who was under
the pleasing influence of the Nogales
advertising campaign. The letter
reads as follows:
II am a graduate nurse of 1927
and would like to apply for a po-
sition as nurse on one of your
large ships. Please write me full
particulars"
The letter upset the manager and
stenographer at the Wonderland club
who have not as yet recovered from
the shock.
The letter is not unusual, stra nge
as it may seem. We suggest that the
letter be answered and the applicant
be informed that at the present time
Nogales is out of ships but we have
a flock of wonderful "schooners" just
across the line in Mexico. We know
of quite number of local people who
are nursing the schooners.

Healthy Growth OF
Banks of the State

! Bank deposits in the six banks Of
Phoenix show an increase of $780,
600 in the last three years and the
total deposits of all banks of the state
show gain of approximately Sl2,-
100000 during that period, a report
issued by the state bank superlntend-
ent shows.
The report, issued following g call
for a statement on the condition OF
banks in the state on Oct. 10, shows
an increase in the total resources of
the banks of Phoenix of $6,569,630
during the past three years and an
increase in the total resources of all
banks of the state Of S11,273,504.
Arizona banks are now in strong
err financial condition than ever be-
fore. the content of the report indi-
Gates clearly. A decrease in the num-
Der of state and national banks now
in existence over the number doing
business three years ago is shown IN
the report. In 1924 there were Az
state banks operating and l9 ma
tional banks. On Oct. 10, 1927, there
were only 81 state banks and Is ma
tional banks operating, the remainder
having been consolidated with other
banks. InlS Is I6SdIuSO 90 DCSAAi
out the theory that smaller number
of banks can conduct a larger business
on a sounder basis than a large
number.
The 81 state and Is national banks
operating in Arizona today have
capitalization of S5,117400 as COM
pared with capitalization of $500,
400 for the 40 state and 10 national
banks Of Arizona in 1924.
During the three year period the
loans and discounts of the banks Of
the state decreased S3,5552,014, the
report shows indicating that during
that time loans made by the banks
have been paid up.
Investments of the banks in stock,
bonds governmental and other secur-
tiles increased S7,780,304 during the
three year period, it is shown. Real
estate holdings Of the banks show
an increase of S481,134 during that
time while the cash on hand has
mounted S477, 672.
The bills, payable items or money
borrowed by the banks from outside
sources, has decreased during the
three year period S1,161,753.

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN
AT r.. CROSSINGS SAYS
U. S SUPREME COURT

There are times when it is neces-
sary for a person seeking to cross a
railroad track in a vehicle to look
along the track for approaching
trains if he would relieve himself of
responsibility for his own death. This
is shown by the decision of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
this week, in the case of Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company versus
Goodman, administrators. 1t APP
peared in this case that the driver
of an automobile truck was killed by
a train, going at the rate Of sixty
miles an hour, while trying to cross
the railroad track. The driver was
going in an easterly direction and the
train ran southwesterly across the
road. He had been driving at the
rate of ten or twelve miles an hour
but slowed down to about half that
speed when about forty feet from the
crossing. 1t was daylight at the time
of the accident, and he was familiar
with the crossing. The administra-
trix of the deceased secured a YER
dict in the court of first instance, a
judgment upon which was affirmed
by the Federal Circuit Court of APP
peals for the Sixth Circuit, but the
Supreme Court reversed the judg-
ment. Mr.. Justice Holmes, who read
the opinion of the court of last re-
sort, said that when a man goes upon
a railroad track he knows that he
goes to place where he will be killed
if a train comes upon him before he
is clear of the track, and that he
must stop for the train, not the train
for him. In such circumstances, JUS
tice Holmes said, if a driver cannot
be sure otherwise whether train is
dangerously near, he must stop and
get out of his vehicle, although, OBJ
viously, he will not often be required
to stop and look. 1t seems to the
court, Justice Holmes said, that. IF
he relies upon not hearing the train
or any signal, and takes no further
precaution, he does SO at his own
risk. 1t is true" he said, "that the
question of due care is generally left
to the jury" but he added, 1--WE are
dealing with a standard of conduct,
and when the standard is clear it
should be laid down once for all by
the courts"

KILLS SELF AND HUSBAND
AND SETS FIRE TO CABIN

From out of the isolated desert
wastes of northern Yuma county Sun
day came the story of a double trag-
edy resulting from the believed
mental sickness of a woman who shot
her husband to death as he slept, set
fire to the cabin in which they lived
and then ended her own life with a
bullet fired into her mouth.
AS dawn was breaking Sunday
morning, Mrs. Richard Darling, so,
slipped from the bed where her hus-
band lay sleeping, upholstered a
heavy revolver and fired two bull
lets into his breast. She then stepped
into an adjoining room and set fire
to pile of paper and rubbish AS
the fire blazed up, the woman, ap-
parently mentally deranged as a re-
suit of a long illness, returned to the
room in which lay the body Of her
husband, and placed the muzzle of
the revolver into her mouth and fired.

Arizona Newspaper
Poll for AL Smith

Governor Al Smith of New York,
if Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency, could carry nine Arizona
counties and poll $4,000 votes as
against his opponents $4,000, the Ari-
iona Daily Star says, basing its fig
ures on the opinion of a score of
editors in Arizona.
With Maricopa and Pima counties
in the Smith column, the vote would
be swelled to 10000 against 10000,
although he would not need either
of these two largest communities to
win a majority. The figures are based
on the votes cast in 1924 with the
LaFollette support conceded as entire
ly Democratic. Two counties, Coco
nino and Navajo, are placed in anti
Smith ranks. Graham is undecided.

Law AS Is Over
In Silver City

A man was brought before justice
of the peace in the Silver City district
not in Silver City but in the district,
charged with speeding.
Are you guilty or not guilty ~
the court inquired.
"You ought to know" replied the
defendant, "You passed me. I'd
rather you'd say"
Guilty." exclaimed the court
"Seventeen-fifty including fine and
COSTS"
This is not a mere anecdote. The
incident is vouched for as an actual
occurrence. The defendant had been
guilty of speeding. He had been
making as miles an hour. To pass
him, the justice of the peace prob
ably touched so.
Is it surprising that some of our
rural courts are held in light esteem !?
