GAME WARDEN RELEASES ELks

Phoenix-On last. week, Thurs.
day, State Game Warden Pettis
unloaded 55 elk about fifteen
miles north of Williams. The
elk we're placed by the state
game department. in a section of
country which formerly consti
tuted their range. They were
released near permanent water
and in a region where grass is
good and there is every reason
to believe they will survive and
multiply. It is expected that
the herd will be increased this
year by approximately 80 calves.
The elk we're brought from the
National park in Wyoming and
the cost to the state was only
that of loading and transporta
ton of the animals to Arizona in
a large express car, the cost per
head being very reasonable.
Residents of the Williams sec.
tion are jubilant over the re-
stocking of this section of Ari
zona with the splendid game
animals. The state game de.
partment in the past has planted
elk at several points in the
White mountains and in the Mo
gollon Rim country. Next sea,
son the department plans to
kplace elk in the Graham and
Chiricahua mountains in south
ern Arizona.
1t was originally the plan OF
the state game department to
place the elk obtained this year
from Wyoming in the Coconino-
Yavapai State Game reserve.
This refuge lies south of Will,
liams in Coconinoe and Yavapai
counties and is entirely upon the
United State Forest Reserve.
However, one lessee of the
forest service, who has the
grazing privilege for the major
portion of the forest lands, Gov
cred by the state game refuge,
objected to placing the elk on
the area. Smaller permittes oil
the forest service were willing
to have the elk placed in the
area but the larger lessee was
firm in his objection.

white farmers for the year 1928.
This acreage shows an advance
of about 600 acres over last

an increased interest in farming
in this vicinity and the demand

AS many of these Indian owners
are children and women they
lease their lands out for money

men who do not care to cultivate
their acreage. The leased land
is about SO per cent of the acre

farmed by the owners, many of
whom are excellent farmers.
This year much new equipment
has been purchased by Superin

@. Do you claim to own the

A. Arizona claims the Colo

A. Our attorneys advise me
that the government will have
authority to erect dam without
the consent Of the States of Ari
zona and Nevada, for the i'm
| provement of the navigation on
the Colorado river. We do not
believe any one would seriously
urge that the governmet should
expend $50,000,000 or more for
that purpose. We do deny
the right of the government to
erect the dam described in the
Swing-Jobnson Bill unless it
receives q permit from the states
of Arizona and Nevada.
O. Under what circumstances
would you consent to a dam at
Boulder?
A. Ia that connection our
commission has no authority to
speak. II q compact was ar
ranged which was satisfactory
to Arizona and approved by the
legislatures of these seven states

state Of Arizona for permit to
construct dams would come from

A. I do not believe the Boul

A Hot Dry July

In the month of July the
mean maximum temperature in
Chapel Hill was 90.2 degrees
Fahrenheit, the mean minimum
temperature 69l degrees, and
the mean average temperature
1916 degrees. The word mean
has its special meaning for the
scientists who take the ther-
mometer readings and compile
the records, but the ordinary
citizen will be content to call
July mean nfle9stthh nth h and and let tt go
at that.

DR.. George Hooper Mallett
left Chapel Hill about 1887.
For Al years he was away, and
ne came back last Sunday.
When he and Mrs. Mallett,
travelling in their automobile,
reached the top of the hill at the
east end of the village he told
her the first thing he was going
to do was to go see Uncle Wills
house-Uncle Will being the
late DR.. William deBerniere
Mallett. They rolled along main
street, and on and on, and turn
ed the corner and proceeded to
the Carolina Inn, and with every
moment DR.. Mallett became
more and more dazed. When
they stopped at the Inn he had
not seen Uncle Wills house or
anything like it - or anything
else that he had ever seen be-
fore. He began to wonder if
he had lest his way and got into
the wrong town.
The object of his search, the
Mallett home, used to stand
where the pOst-office now is,
1t was screened from the street
by masses of shrubbery and by
vines that grew against the
fence along the sidewalk. There
were trees in the yard too, and,
altogether, the place was a
haven of rustic tranquility.
At one corner of the yard, about
where the cafeteria now is, was
little wooden outbuilding which
served as the post-office. At one
period DR.. Mallett was post

TREES STRUCK IN
TUESDAYS STORM
Big Oak beside New Home of
George Howe Damaged
by Lightning
STROKE AT PRFTCHARDs'

In Tuesdays storm the big
sak beside the new home of
George Howe, out beyond the
Country Club at Buttons, was
struck by lightning. The bark
was torn off the upper branches
and was badly split further
down.
At first sight it looked like a
total wreck; but w. C. Coker,
the botanist, after examining it
carefully, said it could be saved
by the proper kind of tree sur
gerry. Probably about a third
of the tree, at the top, will have
to be cut off.
Another big tree, behind
Isaac w. Pritchard's home, was
struck in the same storm. This
stroke was witnessed by Mrs.
Pritchard, who happened to be
looking out of one of her rear
windows. A stream of fire ran
down the trunk, and sparks shot
off in every direction. In the
house the electric fuses blew
out, the door of the fuse box
was hurled across the hall, the
meter was destroyed, and of
course all the lights went out.
When he was asked yesterday
about the extent of the damage
done to trees by lightning, Mr..
Coker said:
II believe it is the chief cause
of the comparatively short life
of our trees in the eastern part
of the United States. Almost
every tree is struck before it
gets to be 200 years old, and a
large proportion of them are
ruined. 1t is different with the
giant sequoias out in California.
Lightning may strike one of
them a dozen times and do little
or no harm"
The botanist recalled the loss
of he famous Lone Pine on his
own place few years ago. 1t
was one of the finest trees in this
part of the country. One day
the lightning destroyed it utter
ly. The autopsy showed it to be
about 200 years old.
