LET US EVER PRAY

Advertising Arizona's internecine political trou-
bles to the outside world has done more to injure
the state than all the hard-headed, far-seeing,
patriotic, non-partiepating business men can over
come
The average citizen of Arizona would be far
ahead of the game and have more respect for his
home state with just good, fair and honest adj
ministration of state affairs regardless of which
party controlled it.
Freak politics and freak stories of Arizona ap-
peal to those back east looking for thrills and cold
shivers but as forceful resident put it, ut don't
buy a thing for the state except to help keep us
exiled on mystical desert surrounded by con-
glomeration Of the jimjams in the way of poison
animals and water"
Selling your home state for mess of political
pottage may be the proper thing under the present
rules of the game, but it isn't helping to develop
the state.
Arizonas patriotic honor roll is brilliant one
and stands high up among all the states of the
Union.
Politically and for private gain shall we trail
the names Of Arizona's heroes in the dust? And,
for the biggest and best of men to maintain un-
sullied our honor roll, without hope of reward, we
shall ever pray

We doubt if any democrats are at all
interested in starting hostilities be-
tween friends of Maddox and
Clingan. AS a matter of fact, we be-
lieve that a majority of democrats
prefer to see Clingan retain his place.
He has worked hard and made an ex-
cellent industrial commissioner. But
the Bulletin can be assured that Mr..
McCluskey 1--WE don't know whether to
designate him as democrat or re-
publican) has already started hos
tilities as far as Mr. Clingan is con-
cerned and will maintain his hostile
attitude as long as Clingan is on the
commission. Why Mac has even
threatened to resign and let Arizona
go to the bow-wows in the event
Clingan is reappointed.

THE CROSSROADS WATER

Arizona folks are rapidly gathering together
these days and forgetting their old sectional diff
ferences Good roads have brought it about along
with the help of gasoline when properly COM
busted Just recently we note with a great deal
of satisfaction that the Phoenix Rotary Club
headed by President Charlie Stauffer were damp
ened at the crossing of the famous Hassayampa
river on their way to Prescott to absorb milk and
honey with the Prescott Rotary Club.
It is said that those who drink the waters of the
Hassayampa can never tell the truth (that hurts)
Since members of both the Prescott and Phoenix
clubs have crossed and drunk of the waters of this
famous stream so often, we offer both clubs a
slug of River de Flag aqua. 1t works while you
sleep-in the morning all your jealous anguish
has passed away. Bring your epsons along, our
water is not alkali.

A group of men were excavating for
a large office building. Several pass
ersby regarded them curiously and one
addressed the end laborer of the gang.
"My man." he said, ''what are you
digging for?"
The workman looked up. Money"
he replied shortly.

wayfarer. "And when do you expect
to strike it,"

THE RIVER OF LIES

We regret to note that the old Hassayampa
river is still true to historical tales. While it does
not run uphill as reported by early day resi-
dents of the state, the bottom is often found on
top during the flood season. During its Volsteaded
periods it is but tame pathway and the wind
whips it's bottom into the clouds, but give it one
drink and no Ford is adequate to bring about
friendly relations between Prescott and Phoenix.

Arizona is now said to have population of
over 100000. We believe that at this increase
at least one or two new persons should be ad-
mitted to membership in the perpetual state office
holders association. We hope the next session of
the legislature will so amend the constitution to
permit an increase in the membership, provided of
course said persons have the proper and proven
democratic credentials.

We wish it distinctly understood that the first
time this new state highway commission attempts

legislature will back them up whichever way they
are faced.

CHEVROLET POPULAR
AMONG EUROPEANS

William S. Knudson, president and
general manager of the Chevrolet
Motor company, is scheduled to return
the second week in August from
combined business and pleasure trip
to Continental Europe, which included
a visit to his former home at Copen-
hagen, Denmark, the Chevrolet Motor
company announced today.
Mr.. Knudson embarked for Europe
late in May, and, according to advices
from him, left Copenhagen on July 80
on the Swedish steamer "Gripsholm"
for New York City,. The steamer is
due at New York about August 10.
His travels abroad took him to the
Chevrolet assembly plants at Copen-
hagen, Antwerp and Berlin, which, |
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1927-08-04

like the American plants, are running
at peak production. Mr.. Knudson noted
that during the first six months of the
year these three plants turned out
more units than during the entire
year of 1926, thus attesting to the
overwhelming favor which the Most
Beautiful Chevrolet" is finding among
European buyers.
In addition to inspecting these
plants, Mr.. Knudson travelled extern
sicily in Germany, Denmark, Belgium.
Holland and France.
His visit to Copenhagen revived
memories and associations of his
early life, for he was born and reared
in this Denmark town. After being
educated at the grammar and high
school and the government technical
school at Copenhagen, he apprenticed
himself for period of four years to
gain a thorough knowledge of his
trade. At the age of nineteen he left
Denmark to make America his home.
Mr.. Knudson's advance here was
rapid. In 1922 he became associated
With the General Motors corporation
md shortly afterward was made vice
PRESIDENT IN charge of operations of
he Chevrolet Motor company. On
anuary 10, 1924, he was elected presi-
lent and general manager of Chevro-
ct and vice president of General
dotors.
Mr.. knudson is expected back at
he Chevrolet executive offices at
Detroit, Mich, by the middle of
august.

FIRE PREVEfNy TION
IS THEME OF IRIS
FILM SPECTACLE

Fire prevention is being brought
, dramatically and graphically to the
attention of millions of Americans
by THE Fire Brigade the spectacu-
lar production which is coming to the
Iris Theatre on Saturday.
"The Fire Brigade" is the picture
that Hunt Stromberg produced for
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with the direct
aid and cooperation of the Interna-
tional Order of Fire Engineers, this
Order being personally represented
at the studio by Jay W. Stevens, fire
marshall of the State of California,
during the making of the picture.
While the production is said to carry
powerful message in the cause of
fire prevention, it is in no way a
preachment, but big entertainment.
The actual story is preceded by a
screen prologue that includes large
percentage of all the firemen in the
United States. Every city of size in
the y. S. and Canada staged a parade
to display the strength of it's fire
lighting organization on its principal
thoroughfare especially for the pro-
duction. New York's entire depart
ment is seen on parade on Fifth
Avenue, and flashes of fire centers of
such cities as Washington, D. c.,
Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles,
San Francisco and others precede the
story itself.
In accord with the size and dignity
OF such a production, a cast of motion
picture favorites, such as are seldom
seen in one production, interpret the
principal roles.
May McAvoy and Charles Ray head
the cast, which includes Holmes Her
bert, Tom O'Brien, Eugene Besserer,
Warner P. Richmond, Bert Woodruff,
Viva Ogden, De Witt Jennings, Dan
Mason, James Bradbury, Jr., Erwin
Connolly, Jolce Coad and Irene Butler.
A large five-story building was
erected at the studio, the burning of
which is probably the most spectacular
incident ever filmed for a motion pic
ture. The Los Angeles Fire Depart
ment, headed by Fire Chief Scott,
handled the burning of this building, !
bringing 80 pieces of fire. lighting
apparatus into use.
In the orphanage fire, two hundred |
little girls from the Los Angeles
Orphanage appear. Consent for their
work in the picture was secured after
officials of the orphanage had been
informed Of the national Importance
of the picture by Chief Scott and exec
utives of the studio.
Aside from these points of interest,
in "The Fire Brigade"
include a spectacular costume fete to
raise money for the orphanage. This
entire sequence was photographed in
natural colors, and is declared by all
who have seen it to be thing of ex-
quisite beauty.
The picture is also said to present
the latest developments in camera
technique in obtaining thrills and ar
tistic effects.
No expense nor time was spared in
the making of "The Fire Brigade"
which the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer
studio promises to be a production on
a par with it's "Ben Hur," "The Big
Parade" and "The Merry Widow"
