Forest Ranger Held
For Killing Horses
Under Govt. Orders

Jesse Fears, forest ranger, located
at Greer, Apache county, Arizona, was
up before the superior court last week
on q charge of unlawfully killing
horses.
It seems that there is law of the
u. S. government that all horses that
are found ranging on the forest re-
serves without permit are to be killed
Report has it that Mr.. Fears has
been carrying out this law or ruling
of the u. S. government and has, from
reports killed some 800 head
Three of these horses belonged to
Connor Trammell of Springerville and
were of good stock, and which he was
raising for work horses.
The people of the upper towns are
indignant over this unjust ruling of
the government and feel that if it
is to be allowed to continue they will
have to leave that part of the Uni
ted States, and seek other pastures
where laws are not so drastic.
Fears was brought before the SUI
perior court in st. Johns and several
S. attorneys to represent the defend
ant.
The plaintiff was represented by
county attorney Levi. S. Udall, and
the citizens of the mountain towns
raised a purse of three hundred and
retained Attorney Isaac Barth as spe-
cial counsel to assist Attorney Udall.
1t was admitted by Ranger Fears
that he had killed brown mare be-
longing to Connor Trammell. 1t was
also agreed by and between counsel
that the act was committed and the
matter was tried upon the grounds
that the law was unconstitutional. Aft
er argument from both sides the mat
ter was taken under advisement by
Judge Gibbons.
Just what the termination of the
case will be is being awaited with
interest by the people of Apache
county.
To the onlooker the law seems un-
just in every particular. After peo-
pie have gone to the expense of MAX
ing homes in a land where they
thought they could enjoy little free
dom in the use of the range on which
to Craze their stock and after years
of hard work to have the government
step in and say, you must pay for
this and that, and you can't only have
so many no more horses range on this
reserve. And then because they find
that there are more than the permit
calls for to shoot them down, is far
beyond the comprehension of the peo-
pie to understand such a law.
The forest service no doubt is O.
K, but in many instances it seems to
be carried to the greatest extremes.

The American Lumberman Tells
Interesting Story of the A. L. I. Co.

In a news item of the retirement
of |. B. Koch from the Flagstaff
mayoralty the American Lumber
man & Timberman comments as fol-
lows on the interesting points in the
Arizona Lumber & Timber company
mill:
Remanufacturlng as i1tIie as pos
sible, yet maintaining high stand
ard even at the cost of smaller pro-
duction, is a keynote of the Riordan
mill, of which Mr.. Koch has been the
manager for more than decade, and
whose ideas are exemplified by F.
w. Jones, plant superintendent.
Twelve years ago the company shut
down its box factory, preferring to
ship in the plank, and does not re-
gret this change. The Northern Ari-
zona Teachers college takes two car
loads of slabs a day, the local cleo
trio light plant two cars of slabs and
hog fuel, and negligible amount of
wastewood finds the refuse burner,
two new chutes having been just in
stalled to fill dump carts with fuel
wood for domestic use. One hog in
reserve, and two, one "a by "a dia-
mond, in use, prepare the fuel for the
mills and city electric furnaces. The
log sprinkler, installed a few months
ago, is found to not only save the
saws and hog knives, but even the
caking of mud on the furnace CRATES.
So small log pond is striking, for
it holds but 40 car loads, with an
other 40 car loads on adjacent track,
two days mill supply. The question
arises as to possibility of logging
road tie-up, and loss of mill time.
However, even their spur tracks are
ballasted, and culverts are substan-
tial, proving that well-constructed log
roads pay. The availability of the
logs in the small pond is obvious.
While this mill, established with
machinery freighted from Winslow in
1881, is the oldest in Arizona, the
ergency pump have never been called
into action by fire. Perhaps one rea-
son is the pneumatic piping system
by which all dust is carried to the
ground floor, and this supplemented
by persistent sweeping keeps the
mills appearance similar to that of
the Memo, South Dakota mill of the
Homestead Mining Company, reputed
for model neatness.
Several years ago rs teams would
be no unusual sight in the mill yard,
loading for the SO to 100 miles of
freighting to the Indian reserva-1 i
tions Auto trucks have supplanted
them, although Buck Lowry, the Ind
ian trader at Lees Ferry, on the Col
orado, 137 miles north, was loading a
wagon. Trucks were loading for the
flooring of the new bridge at the
Ferry, a connection which, with adj
jacent highways, will join Salt Lake
City and Phoenix and intervening
country, the only crossing of the Col

CLOSE TO A MILLION
FOR CASA GRANDE VALLEY

Close to one million dollars will
shortly be expended in the Casa
Grande valley in construction work,
thus marking the start of an era of
general improvement and advance
ment.
Part of this money will be used
in building hotel and cottages at La
Palma. Articles published in this pa
per recently referred to the ordering
and shipping of brick and tile ma
chinery to manufacture material for
the hotel.
Monday and Tuesday Of this week
the City Transfer company of Casa
Grande had men busy unloading brick
and tile making machinery at La Pal
ma. NJ. w. Mcdowell, one Of. the
promoters of the big enterprise, who
remained at La Palma during the un-

Tame Wild Cat Makes
Phoenix Folks Wild

Invading homes of wealthy Phoenix
residents of the fashionable West Will
letta district at dawn, huge noun
tain wild cat sent men and women
scurrying to the street, attired in
nightgowns, bathrobes and pajamas.
Frightened women sought havens of
refuge in other sections of the city
while Mayor Frank jefferson, alarmed
at the reports of the marauding beast,
hurriedly organized volunteer pis
tol brigade among the bravest of the
men.
A fusillade of shots was fired point
blank at the beast, which was un-
harmed Then a riot call was turned
in to the police station, and officers
armed with rifles and sawed-off shot
guns were rushed to the scene.
The wild cat was killed in the ex-
citement that followed. When ter
rorized residents ventured to examine
the dead wild cat, they discovered that
the animal was the pet of the neigh
borhood, tame and harmless.

SPRINGERVILLE C. OF C.
is ALWAYS ON THE JOB

The Springerville chamber of COM
merce had call meeting Wednesday
evening at s o'clock to take steps to-
ward securing national monument
which is to be presented to Arizona
by the National Society Daughters
of American Revolution. This is not
a new effort in that regard, as Jul
ius w. Becker has been working on
the matter for some two years past.
Mr.. Becker will represent Springer
vile at a meeting of the National Old
Trails and the N. S. d. A. R. at Albu-
querque next Monday.
The meeting was the first held by
the local chamber since the summer
season and the turnout and interest
manifested spells an active and sue
cessful winter of undertakings for
this small but progressive and live
wire organization that has already
gained a reputation over the state
for getting what it goes AFTER

California Won't
Come to Agreement

Mixed hopes of compact on power
and an agreement on water at the
seven state Colorado river conference
at Denver were expected to be dis
solved Tuesday when the parley ad-
journed its sessions.
No tentative agreement on the di-
vision of benefits from the generation
of hydro electric power at Boulder
Canyon dam has been reached, it was
said, and that precluded the consum-
nation of water division agreement
between California and Arizona. Ari-
zona insisted upon power settlement
before framing a water compact.
California, on the other hand, had
informed Nevada and Arizona that
the four proposals submitted that
state Sunday night could not be ac-
cepted and that the principles con-
tanned therein could not be subscribed
to by the California river commits
sion. In turn, Arizona and Nevada
were understood to have refused to
treat on the basis of a plan offered
Monday
The conference was expected to dis
solve with tri-state compact among
California, Nevada and Arizona still
uncrystallized and the problems be-
setting it still unsolved.
Meeting with the upper basin gov
ernor's committee Monday night,
Commissioner w. r. Mathews and
Earl G. Pound Of California, told the
hosts to the conclave that until some
legal method for reimbursing Arizona
and Nevada for their lands and water
in dam construction was found, Cali
fornia could enter no power agree

dreds of miles from Moab, Utah, to
Needles, Calf; and completing loop
trips from the Yellowstone to the
Grand Canyon south rim.
The United Verde Copper company
at Jerome, has turned over entirely
the framing of its mining timbers,
including unusual designs for chute
pockets, 10 to 25 cars a month, this
being done here with special machines
more economically than they had been
able to do with their own stull mill.
The new underneath drive shaft in the
planning mill removes all vibration
from the main floor and building, and
eliminates 600 feet of betting. Cali
fornia style, S4S is the popular form
of finishing. In the yard every pile
is rooted; season stickers are used.
Flood lighting is being installed,
with lights in the planning mill and
d outside, two of which have already
been installed.
M. j. Riordan, secretary
of the company, who with T. A. Rior-
dan, president, has been manufactur-
ing Arizona soft pine almost exclu-
sively SO many years, takes keen in
terest in other local woods also. He
has, seasoning in the commissary, fits
of aspen, white cedar, alligator juni-
per, black walnut and oak, sawed
about a year ago, which doubtless will
be used in attractive furniture, panels,
and other appointments of their of
fices and homes.

California and Illinois in the u. S.
66 Highway association will be cleo
ted at the meeting. Although the men
of 66, through their many chambers
of commerce, have been organized as
a Highway association but a compare
lively few months a great deal has
been done to build and popularize
through the southwest a great slab
of concrete. Officers of the associa-
tion have been busily engaged in the
promotion of bond issues in the var
ious states through which 66 is rout-
ed to provide the highway with con-
crete.
Several millions of dollars have been
raised this year for financial construc-
ton. By the end of next year it is
predicted U. S. sc shall be paved all
the way from Chicago to the New
Mexico line and from Los Angeles
to the Arizona line, leaving but two
states without cement surfacing, but
with high grade gravel construction,
however. 66 is reputed to be shorter
than any railroad line between the
Great Lakes and Los Angeles and
nearly 200 miles shorter than any 9TH
er highway. At the present time even
though considerable construction is
under way, state highway engineers
have given every assurance that 66
will be passable in all kinds of wealth
er with short if any detours which
are to be we'll marked and guarded.
The route will be marked with feder-
al signs in Illinois, Arizona and Cali
fornia this fall. The other states
have already placed the required signs
along the route.

WATERWAY VIA ST. LAWRENCE |S
 STRONGLY BACKED
CHARGES NEW YORK PLANS ARE FIVE TIMES MORE
 COSTLY

WASHINGTON, June 29. (P)-Voic- ing strong support of the proposed St.. Lawrence waterway and hitting at New York plans for the all-United States canal route from the West, the joint New England-St Lawrence waterway commission issued unani- that the New York route would cost five times as much and prove disad- vantageous to New England. The committee placed itself on record as favoring early entrance of the United States into negotiations with Canada looking toward proper consummation of a treaty that will make the under taking possible. It is claimed that the opening of the canal would mean great gain for the New England States be- cause of the cheapness of commodities secured over this canal route. The important adjustment of the St. Law renee waterway system will lead to great developments of water power projects in the United States.
