ARMY WINS CLOSE
 TILT WITH TIE CITY
 TEAM LAST NIGHT

The Army captured last nights game from the renovated City boys to the tune of to s. It was worth anyone's money to have witnessed this knock-down and drag g-out rum- page for the game was marked by rough house tactics. Players were hitting the floor, and even the walls, with clock-nke regularity. For the spectators it was a great game to watch but not so the players.
 The Army used the five-man de- fense to good advantage against the City chaps who seemed, at times, to be up against it as far as endeavor- ing to penetrate the line The shoot ing on both sides was off-color, de cidedly so, which accounts for the low score.
 
 Osbakkan and Baker were each automatically suspended from play ing on acount of reaching the limit of fouls but were permitted to play on due to lack of substitutes.
 All the boys were in the game, head over heels, all the time but the biggest improvement of any was in the work of Jack Osbakkan. He bit the dust on several occasions but he also threw a crimp into numerous Army plays which might have devel- oped into a larger score for the stiff opposition.
 Three black eyes adorned three of tbe players, two Army men and one of the City. Nc Ewen did a loop-the- loop stunt aver Galloway and Len hart, who is almost tall enough for the Signal Corps 'gle as an antenna, got a terrific wallop on the ankle. Andresen also took one some-place but aside from these there were no other serious casualties.
 One of the bright spots in this game was. the superb refereeing of Coach Smith of the Anchorage five. Nothing better has ever been seen in any game.
 The fans can always look forward to fine game; even tho rough, when these two outfits sign up.

MARKET REPORTS
WIDELY ADOPTED
Many Stations Include Data
from Government in
Programs.

Ninety-five radio stations in 80
States now are broadcaSting Govern
ment crop estimates and market re-
ports over the country, as shown in
a list of broadcasting schedules, is
sued today by the Bureau OF Agrlcul-
tural Economics. United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The list in
cludes most of the leading broadcast
ing stations.
Arrangements for broadcasting
daily market reports have been made
by the bureau with local radio sta
tons in every important market CEN
ter where Government market news
is conducted. The Federal market
news leased telegraph wire system OF
about 100 miles, the most extensive
of it's kind, makes the market news
available to radio stations from about
40 offices.
Government market reports, 1t Is
estimated, now are made available
Immediately to more than 1,O0O,O0O
farmers through radios now in use.
One station in a recent siX-month
period received more than 5000 let
ters of commentator of the service
from farmers, country bankers, live
stock shippers and merchants in IL
agricultural States surrounding the
station.
The Government market news serv-
ice has been developed coincidently
with the development of radio broad
casting. Broadcasts were being sent
out in code by the bureau before
broadcasting the voice became prac-
ticable. These early experiments
demonstrated the need for a fast
news service for farmers, and paved
the way for the development of the
system 20 it's present scope.
1t has been found that farmers
usually have bought the best radio
sets available. AS early as 1928 a
department survey showed the av-
erage cost of radio sets on more than
1000 farms widely scattered over the
country was $175. Since then the cost
of radio equipment has decreased
greatly
Increased power and improved
broadcasting, together with better re-
ceiving sets, have done much to aid
in extending the scope of radio sta
tons bringing the market news to
farmers from more distant markets,
according to j. G. Gilbert of the mar
ket news radio service. Market news
programs are being expanded and re-
vised continually to make them of the
greatest value to producers. In
quirieS by farmers and broadcasters
for more specific market information
shows a steadily growing use of ra-
dios by farmers.

Fox Holds Up Party
At Grand Cannon

An interesting incident occurred
during DIR. John C. Merriam's recent
visit to the Grand Canyon national
park.
DR.. Merriam was in the lead on the
return trip up the Yaki Point section
of the Kaibab trail. "Rastus," park
mule on which he was seated, grad
ually slowed up. Continued urging
failed to increase his pace. Rastus
had his eyes and ears focused on an
object few yards ahead At last
came a call from DR.. Merriam to
"chase that fox up the trail so Ras-
tus could continue" True enough, a
grey fox with mouse in his mouth,
was setting a very slow pace up the
trail. The fears of Rastus seemed
wholly relieved when the fox left the
trail short distance ahead.
A pair of foxes have been sighted a
number of times in the same vicinity
during the past few months causing
US to believe that their den was not a
great distance away. That our sup
position concerning the presence of
the den was correct is evidenced by
the report of the trail-maintenance
man seeing the pair with two half
grown pups only a few days ago.

Oklahoma bank bandit, was sentenced
Monday to life Imprisonment for the

Hundreds Want
To Kill Buffalo

Since State Game Warden d. E.
Pettis announced a week ago the de-
tails of the buffalo hunt to be held
next December under the auspices of
the state game department in House
Rock Valley, nearly 100 holders of
1927 Arizona fishing and hunting IL
censes have registered their names
with the department
Out of the names thus submitted
and those to be sent in between the
present and next November, Is will
be drawn during state fair week.
Those whose names are drawn will be
the fortunate hunters.
Fifteen of the oldest and largest
buffalo in the recently purchased
state herd are to be taken by the
hunters. These buffalo are outlaws
from the main herd, but as trophies
they are the best specimens in the
herd of 80 head.
Any holder of 1927 Arizona fish
ing and hunting license, resident or
nonresident, may send to State Game
Warden ID. E. Pettis, state house,
Phoenix, his name, address, license
number and the name of the license
deputy signed on the license and thus
be assured that he will have an equal
chance with others to have his name
drawn during state fair week when
the drawing is to take place.

Engineer LaRue May
Work For This State

The statement that, Immediately
after his resignation as head OF the
local branch of the United States
geological survey is effective on July
26, he would go into the Colorado river
lower basin to undertake special work
for few months, has given the i'm.
preston in southern California that
E. C. LaRue, noted engineer, has been
employed by the state of Arizona to
assist it in the fight against the
Swing johnson bill, which embodies
the construction of the Boulder Can
yon dam. On July 6, when he an
nounced his resignation, Mr.. LaRue
said: ''I am going into the river
basin for few months on special and
important work the nature of which
cannot be divulged now"
When the Arizona river commission
was in Los Angeles several weeks ago
it is known that one of its members
sought to have the engineer appear
before that body to give advice, and
for pay, if need be, but he replied that
his "hands were tied" at that time,
but that he might talk to them
later" 1t also is stated that the Ari-
zona commission have agreed to OBJ
tain the services of Mr.. LaRue if such
an arrangement could be made.
The Arizona commissioners have
the greater part of a legislative ap-
preparation of 100000 to use as they
see fit, and it is said that their work,
insofar as the individual members are
concerned, is completed and that they
are anxious to place the whole matter
of river negotiations into the hands of
a recognized expert.
The resignation of Mr.. LaRue was
due entirely to the fact that he had
been "muzzled" by his superiors at
Washington, especially in his efforts
to show the defects in the Boulder
dam project.
