exclusive statement to international
News Service early today:
Il understand that the detectives

man in the taxicab when Boucnard
was murdered.

New York, and the police are work
ing hard in an effort To locate him.
George and Doris Mcdonald would
be essential witnesses should he be
captured, as they are the only ones
who can identify him as being con-
nected with the crime"
Whether or not the McDOnalds
would consent to identify McMullen
was not known by the Valley Field
lawyer. However. should the police
get the reprieve so as to help their
case against McMullen, it would
certainly help the Mcdonald de-

seek communication OF sentence for

that clemency will be extended to

TOMBSTONE, March 1p tSpeciaD
Expansion and improvement is the
watchword in Tombstone this spring;
the beautiful weather is being utilized
by mechanics who are busy on several
notable Improvements, carrying out
advanced ideas of business people
who find their quarters too small
or Improperly located.
Increasing business has in1peratively
required the new Jack Main garage.
upon which work is now being Gone.
The new structure is roomy, fire,
proof edifice, modernly equipped, just
opposite the old stand on Allen
street. 1t will soon be ready for
occupancy. Demands for hotel ac~
commodations is also the reason TO-
the improvement Of the building
adjoining the Tourists hotel owned by
the Cochise County bank, which is
being remodeled, the upper story be-
ing made into rooms to be used in
connection with the hotel and the
lower story for the Owl restaurant
WoWrk on this project IS being
rushed.
The Epitaph is preparing to leave
its historic location March % and
move to the Krebs building-the old
Gage hall-which is now being
cverhauled Concrete foundations are
being put in for machinery, the walls
newly plaStered, new floors laid and
the front improved.
This move is neceSSitated, not only
because the business Of the Epitaph
has outgrown the unscientific ar
rangement of the present quarters,
but because the center of business
in Tombstone has moved in the years
since the Epitaph first occupied its
present home.
The new establishment will be the
last word in the way OF arrangement
and modern equipment and VIII en-
able the concern to attain greater
and more satisfactory production, be-
sides being more convenient for pat
rons. It is hoped to publish the
last issue of the paper for The month
from the new location.
Iyy's service station and auto camp
on West Allen street is also one OF
the prominent local concerns which
is obliged to build another Unit IN
order to meet the demand OF business.
A splendid new addition is being
made to the office, which will soon
be ready for occupancy.
The beautiful new parsonage OF the
Episcopal church has been completed

some STUDENT
OF SOUTHWEST
WILL WIN TOUR
Numerous Prizes Will Be
Given in Addition to
Final Award

Boys and girls of the Douglas schools
must make their decision this week
concerning the international oratori-
cal contest in which the U. S. con-
stitution is the topic for their ora
ton. That there is a prize of a tour
through Europe may not have been
known to some of them but that is
the case. The tour is one of two and
one half months with all expenses
paid except the procurement Of the
passport. And the thing that ought
to interest school boys and girls gem
orally is that there will be eight in
the party from high schools of the
United States, all having won their
honors just as it will be- possible for
some Douglas high school pupil to
win the honor from this district.
The Douglas students have smaller
attractions than the trip to Europe
to shoot for. There are prizes for
the southwest district and also there
is the special prize OF SIS, the offer
of the Douglas Dispatch, to the win
ner of first position in the Douglas
schools.
It was announced last week by the
local authorities that there would
surely be five contestants from Doug
las and they then thought it might
result in one or two more than that.

FOR A WINN Err
State Historian Intimates
He Would Appreciate
Being Delegate

Al Smith, the gentlemen from New
York, has the "inside track for the
democratic presidential nomination
and if nominated he will be elected
So says Major George H. Kelly, state
historian, venerable Arizona pioneer,
and one Of the most sagacious political
seers in the state. He is registered at
the Santa Rita hotel.
Major Kelly arrived in Tucson at
noon yesterday, to look up some orig
inal records at the new headquarters
Of the Arizona Pioneer Historical So
Ciety. in the old library building of the
University of Arizona. He expressed
himself as greatly pleased with the
work being done by Mrs. George F.
Kit, the secretary.
Incidentally, the genial major inti-
mated that he would be in a receptive
mood if the office Of delegate to the
democratic national convention at
Houcton was offered to him.
Understand" he said, understand,
am not nj king an aggressive fight
fer delegate, but 1 certainly would ap-
preciate it if my friends selected mel"
questioned as to politics concerning
which Major Kelly is reputed to have
an uncanny intuition, the venerable
sage spaKe thus saying:
"While I am great admirer OF Al
Smith. and believe that he is the
strongest man so far mentioned for the
democratic nomination, yet I am op-
posed to any delegation from Arizona
being instructed for anybody Con-
ditions at the Houston convention may
develop in so unexpected a way that
Arizonas delegates should be free to
act as they deem best, untrammeled by
any instructions.
Major Kelly announced that the first
issue Of 'The Arizona Historical Re-
view," a quarterly devoted to state his
torical subjects, would be out April l..
1--WE shall have some interesting in
terviews with Arizona pioneers in the
first issues, and the succeeding issues
will be even more interesting" the
major declared.
Business conditions in Arizona are
generally as prosperous as they have
ever been in the history of the state,

CORN SUPPLY
SCARCE THIS YEAR
CFrom Montana state College)

DIETER test seed corn now and make
arrangements for securing needed
- supplies to meet the coming springs
planting needs. advises A. j. Ogaard. ex-
tension agronomist at Montana State
college.
County agents rave been making a
careful survey Of the seed corn situation
in the state and find that Montana is
facing a serious shortage. Only one or
W counties will have surplus seed
available and many OF the eastern coun-
ties Of the state which ordinarily supply
most Of the seed for Montana's planting
needs will have to import seed for their
own use this year., Mr.. Ogaard advises.
The situation can not be taken lightly
If Montana is to hold its place In corn
production, states the agronomist. The
progress in corn production that has
been made has resulted from painstaking
effort, he advises. 1t has been . matter
primarily of careful seed selection and
breeding. resulting in the gradual devel-
opment OF strains and varieties adapted
to the conditions found in the state.
Present standards can only be main
tanned by the use of seed Of the adapted
strains that nave been developed.
The present situation comes unexpect-
edly and therefore is all the more serious,
advises the agronomist. A good supply Of
seed corn was harvested last fall. bring
ing with 1T a sense of security that there
would be ample seed for all needs. Tests
during the winter show that much OF the
seed is low in termination which means
that, If 1t can be used for planting at
all, greater quantities must be used to
secure the desired stands.
Thus, says Mr.. Ogaard. If Montana
farmers are to plant the usual corn
acreage this spring, arrangements must
be made at once to secure good seed. The
sooner this is done the better because
it is probable that prices will advance
as the demand increases with the ap-
proach of the planting season.
In securing seed corn Mr.. Ogaard adj
vises that 1t be obtained from local
growers who are known to be producing
the corn that will grow and do well In
Montana or from reliable seed dealers
who handle varieties adapted to the
state.

THE farmer or stockmen looking for a
good bull of breeding age of either
4 dairy or beef breeds will find them
rather scarce this spring. according to
the bull list compiled by r. L. Waddell,
livestock specialist for the Montana Ex-
tension service, being distributed
by county agricultural agents and bank
ers throughout the state.
In compiling the list every breeder Of
dairy and beef cattle in the state was
queried. The returns from the ques-
tionnaire show that there are only III
breeders with purebred bulls for sale and
many OF these are down to one or two.
The bulls available are located in 40
counties.
The list shows a total Of 11O1 purebred
bulls Of both beef and dairy breeds for
sale in the state. 1011 Of which are beef
and 30 dairy. The list shows a compare
lively small per cent Of bulls of breeding
age. there being 100 calves. til yearlings,
ITO two-year-olds and AZ aged bulls
among the beef breeds and IS calves, 81
y%earlings. 10 two-year-olds and is old
bulls among the dairy breeds.
This indicates, according to Mr.. Wad-
dell, that the list OF purebred bulls of
breeding age that may be bought at this
ishtng point, a condition which is d.
rectly attributable to the improvement In
the cattle business.
Among the beef breeds the Hereford
bulls are most numerous with a total OF
53l. Shorthorns are next with q total
OF 270. Holstein bulls are most numer-
Gus among the dairy breeds. there being
