Anyone interested in the rules and
regulations regarding the cooperative
hunting plan between the Kaibab ma
tional forest and the Grand Canyon
national game preserve will find the
same embodied in the following bull
letin sent out:
The need of relief in the removal
of the excessive number of deer in the
Kaibab national forest is increasing.
A friendly suit is now in the federal
courts to determine the respective re-
sponsibilities for conditions. In order
to secure as much relief as possible
pending the final determination of
this suit, the forest service and the
Arizona state game department have
agreed to the opening of restricted
areas to hunting during October, 1927.
Cooperative Plan
The top of the mountain will al
ways be reserved as a game sanctuary
and no hunting allowed there.
Three hunting areas are designated
One on the east side, and two on the
west side-in heavily congested areas.
Maps may be seen at the camps.
Hunting will not be permitted else
where.
Camps will be in charge of forest
rangers and deputy game wardens,
who will supervise the removal of the
deer.
To prevent overcrowding and acci-
dents, not over 25 persons will be al
lowed in each camp at one time.
Guns will be sealed when entering
the forest, unsealed at camp and
sealed again when leaving camp.
Only guns of large cahbre may be
used. Shot guns, revolvers and bows
and arrows will not be permitted.
Shooting from automobiles and
along roads is prohibited.
No shooting will be permitted with
in less than one-quarter mile from
camp.
Guides may be secured who will fur
nish saddle and pack horses.
Season
October / to October 81, 1927
Roads
Auto roads lead to all camps, but
no hunting will be allowed from auto
mobiles
Hunters coming through Fredonia,
Arizona, will find it more convenient
to check in at Ryan; those coming
across Lees Ferry may check IN at
Kane.
Camps
There will be two checking stations
where government agreements and
state licenses may be purchased,
Ryan for the west side and Kane for
the east side.
Railroad Points
The nearest railroad points are
Cedar City, Utah, on a branch of the
Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad,
and Marysville, Utah, on branch of
the Denver and Rio Grande Western
railroad.
Each hunter must have a govern
ment agreement and state license be-
fore going to the hunter camp.
Government agreements cost $3.50
each. State licenses, resident, cost
$1.25 each.
State licenses, nonresident, $40
each.
Each person will be allowed one
male deer.
Guides
Guides with horses will be at camp
and will make the following charges:
Horses, So per day; one guide, one
day, SIS; limit of four persons to one
guide.

In the controversy between Cali
fornia and Arizona over the Colorado
river development and the Boulder
Canyon dam, that has been going on
for such a long time, people have
come to look upon the proposition as
affecting Los Angeles only and the
benefit she would derive from either,
and have not given thought as to
how the proposed dam would affect
other cities and sections of southern
California.
In an article from the San Diego
Herald, published at San Diego, in
southern California, new angle to
the Colorado river problem is brought
out. The Herald was sent to US by
H. e. Cooper, a former resident and
business man of Stafford, but now To-
Gated in San Diego. The article is
given below:
The Boulder Canyon Dam associa-
tion is an organization formed to adj
vance the building of the Boulder
Canyon dam across the Colorado river
for the sole benefit of Los Angeles.
The scheme is founded on falsehoods,
rooted in iniquity. For the Boulder
Canyon dam is not the best dam site
in the Colorado river, it is not the
dam site with which to save the I'M
perial Valley, it is not the dam site
with which to bring millions of acres
under cultivation, and it is not the
dam site which will solve the water
problems of San Diego.
What, then, is the Boulder Canyon
project?
The Boulder Canyon dam project is,
hn
fertile minds of Senator Hiram john
son, John L. Bacon, Mark Rose and
other land spectators to put water
on barren acres owned or controlled
by them in the Imperial Valley. In
this aspect it simply is huge at
tempt to make millions of suckers pay
for the dirty work of handful of
petty crooks. But, fortunately for
Bacon, ct al, and unfortunately for
San Diego, there was in the Boulder
Canyon project another aspect which
bade fair to insure its success: If the
Boulder Canyon dam were built, Los
Angeles would control the water OF
all southern California, and the devel-
opment and progress of every section
of this part of the state would be de-
termined and bounded by Los Angeles
at its own sweet will. In other
words, Los Angeles would put its fin
gers around the neck of San Diego
and choke her to death. 1t would
choke to death every other commun-
ity which might interfere with the
unimpeded growth of Los Angeles.
For the Boulder Canyon project has
for its cardinal principle the develop
ment of the Colorado wholly for Los
Angeles, under the direction Of Los
Angeles, and with the distribution of
water from the river entirely under
the direction of Los Angeles as
owner!
The Boulder Canyon dam is not
the best dam site for southern Cali
fornia. There are % other dam sites
in the Colorado river, many of which
are better for US than Boulder Can
yon, and one of which, that at Glen
Canyon, is so incomparably better
that experts simply laugh as they dis
cuss the difference. If the Boulder
Canyon dam is built, it will require a
pump lift of 1,700 feet-nearly one
third of mile-to bring the water to
Los Angeles This pump lift will be
so expensive that it will make the
water prohibitive in price for irriga-
tional purposes, and will keep every
drop off the mesa lands of Arizona

NEW DUDE RANCH
IN VERDE VALLEY

Work is being pushed on the new
dude ranch owned by Romaine Low
dermilk east of Camp Verde on the
Stoneman Lake Mormon Lake road.
More than fifty men have been en-
ployed TO continue work through the
winter preparatory to opening in the
spring.
The ranch contains 150 acres Of
fertile land, many acres being under
cultivation. A steady flow of water
from Montezuma's Well provides suf-
ficient for its needs. A commodious
house to accommodate about fifty
guests is contained in the initial plans,
The ideal location of the new ranch
and the experienced management
makes this new addition to the coun-
ty's pleasure resorts valuable one

The Willy Ways Of
The Strange PeddLer

Sometime ago a young man, repre-
senting himself to be an agent of
manufacturing firm, came into town,
it is said, bringing with him a won
derful line of bargains, principally in
mems shirts, and with his ready talk
and pleasing ways, induced a number
of our local citizens to take advantage
of his offer. The special bargain con-
sisted of several of these articles for
the price of what one really good
mans shirt ought to sell for. The
payments were easy: one-half down
and the balance to be paid at the post
office on arrival of the goods.
His customers agreed to the terms
and their orders were taken. They
then waited patiently with the balance
due on the articles ready in hand to
get the goods from the office. Up
until yesterday they were still wait
ing for their new clothes.
Last night while number of his
victims were attending the carnival
which opened with its first perform
ance in Stafford, they spied young
man whose appearance seemed IA
miliar to them, although disguised
with glasses and a full set of whis-
kers.
Officers were notified and the gen
tleman was taken into custody, al
though protesting vigorously that he
was not the party wanted. Yesterday
morning he appeared before Judge E.
L. Spriggs. and entered plea of
guilty. The judge gave him SEN
tence of $500 fine or 80 days in
jail. The man is about % years of
age and gave his name as Harry
Chodes.
This is another instance where it
would have been better to have traded
with the home merchants, who help to
make the town what it is by paying
taxes for improvements. Spend your
money at home, is the moral of the
incident.-Safford Guardian.

Jerome Man Is
MysteriOusLy Stain

Yavapai county officers and Jerome
city police are busy seeking solu-
ton to the mystery which wells the
death of Maximilliano Paradez, 30
year-old miner employed by the Unit
ed Verde Extension Mining company,
whose body was discovered early Sat
urday morning lying to the rear of the
Jerome hotel cold in death. He had
been stabbed twice, one wound pene-
trating the heart and the other being
just fraction of an inch below it.
Paradez, according to those who
knew him, was not a quarrelsome man
but a rather quiet one, man who
didn't drink and who was not known
to have any enemies. He was unmar-
ried and had been in the copper camp
in the employ of the U. v. x. since
last April.
No clue which would lead toward
unraveling the mystery surrounding
his death had been discovered, Jerome
officials said.
Paradez' murder is the first which
has occurred in that county for some
time.

ShantZ New Head
State University

Dr. H. L. Shantz, botanist and ply
siologist with the United States de-
partment of agriculture, was elected
president of the University of Arizona
at a meeting of the board of regents
Monday He will assume his duties
at the expiration of the college year
just starting. Dean Cummings will
continue as acting president for this
year.
DR.. Shantz is head of the depart
ment of botany at the University of
Illinois and is among the leading bot
anists in America.
He was member of the Clark uni
versity faculty prior to going to the
University of Illinois. He has been
associated in governmental work since
1905, and was listed as an agricul-
Institutions African expedition in
1920.
DR.. Shantz was born in Michigan
in 1876 and was educated at Colorado
college and the University Of Nebras-
ka, later being instructor of botany
at both of those schools and at the
University of Missouri. He was with
the University of Louisiana when he
entered the government service, with
which he has been connected for years.
He is regarded as an expert on plant
life, especially that which pertains to
vegetation in the arid regions of the
west.
DR.. Shantz has written numerous
articles on botany and agriculture
and has a world wide reputation in
those lines. His selection as head of
the University of Arizona is regarded
as a concession to the agricultural in
