yo for one half mile, most Of the

iture dealer.
When Miranda was observed
disappearing in the muddy waters
in Nogales, Sonora, a phone call
was sent to the Nogales, Arizona,
police station that ga man is
coming through the arroyo.
There was rush to get ropes
but before this could be done

waves as he came into view but
lust after he had passed under
the Elm street bridge he began
giving up. Policeman Cumming

ed into the swiftly rolling stream
and grabbed the stranger. While
holding onto Miranda the current
knocked Cumming down but he
held on and J. Clarence Henigan
went to the rescue of the two.

Miranda to the street and he was
rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital
where DR.. A. l.. Gustetter exam
ined his injuries. which consisted
principally of bleeding hands sus-
tanned as he was knocked against
the arroyo walls. His head bore
no injuries. Had the water been
higher his head would have struck
the top of the arroyo.
: Dog Comes Through :.
About Is minutes before the
man came through the arroyo a
large dog came through and he,
too, hailed from Mexico. Efforts
were made by several persons to
grab the dog but they were un-
successful. The animal finally

NOGALES SEEKING
1890 LEGION
CONVENTION

Nogales will try to land next
years annual convention of the
American Legion at the big con-
vention at Williams July 25 to 81,
it wcs decided at the regular
monthly meeting of Ridge-Igo
post this week.
Delegates named to represent
the local post at the Williams con-
vention are C. C. Crenshaw,
Duane Bird, Harry T. Connor.
and Fred Gilmore. George Horrall
was named an alternate.
Among the most important sub
iects discussed at this weeks
meeting of the local post was the
comparatively large margin of
difference existing between the
figures submitted by various con-
tractors on construction cost of
the proposed Nogales armory and
the appropriation provided for
construction of the military unit
by the state. While the sum of
$4,000 had been granted by the
state for the purpose, all of the
Ia bids submitted were from $685.
900 to approximately $4,000.
Members of the post adopted a
resolution pledging unqualified CO.
operation with various civic or.
ganizations which now are being
marshaled for concerted action to
the end that the required differ
enc,s between the appropriation
and the lowest bid may be met.
Also there was named committee
empowered to act with the local
chamber of commerce which is
making a militant effort to raise
q fund sufficiently large to assure
of the armory.

Sign Boards Along
Highways To Be
Eliminated

A campaign to eliminate sign
boards at points on the state high
way where natural scenery is
much more pleasing to the eye
has been started by the state high
way commission through its new
ly organized publicity service. In
an article sent out to newspapers
of the state recently the depart
ment had the following to say:
"Mother Nature has been lavish
in her gifts of scenic beauty to
Daughter Arizona. From vast ex-
panse to distant mountain range,
from lowlands to lofty crag, from
east to west, from north to south
one panorama of enchantment af-
ter another unrolls itself to the
traveller of Arizona highways in
endless variety.
"From the peaceful! pastoral
found in some broad valley to the
dramatic note of Grand Canyon.
Arizona scenery runs to gamut Of
grandeur and loveliness. And to
each and every point of scenic in
terest good roads will be found
"We are addressing these re-
marks not so much to Arizonans,
who for the most part know their
Arizona and its beauties, but to
those certain commercial con-
Germs who seek to advertise their
wares through the medium of the
outdoors bulletin.
"Mile after mile of the main
thoroughfares of the nation are
made hideous by these monstrosi-
ties of color and design, and now
they are beginning to invade Ari-
zona with their improvements on

BACA FLOAT PAYS
LARGE SUM In
BACK TAXES

Payment Tuesday of $47,791
delinquent taxes, plus $13,324 in
enalties, by the trustees of the
south half of the Baca Float, re-
luced the Santa Cruz county tax
delinquency since 1913 to $178,-
709.43, according to report sub
nlitted to the board of supervisors
by A. Dumbauld, county treasur-
er.
Payment of the back tax valid
ated recent sale of the property
to Dougherty and Pendleton, an
investment firm of Texas.
There still is approximately
$4,000 due in taxes on the pro-
perty for the years of 1922 and
1923, this amount not having been
paid on the contention that the
new state law prevents sale of
property by the tax collector for
taxes due more than five years.
An almost steady decrease by
years in the amount of delinquent
taxes is noted in the report. How
ever, the taxes of 1918 are the
nearest toward complete collec-
tion, there being but $121.16 out
standing for that year.
"Persons owing delinquent tax
es should visit the treasurer's of
flee and adjust the same at their
earliest convenience in order to
avoid the extra penalties that will
be attached should their property
go to a sale", said Dumbauld.

.09 INCH OF rain
HERE IN 40
MINUTES

Preceded by heavy wind, hail
and an electrical storm, the heav-
Jest rain in Nogales since last Au-
gust began falling shortly after 8
'o'clock yesterday afternoon and
lasted for 40 minutes during which
the total precipitation was .S9 OF
an inch.
The rain was apparently gener-
al in this district and particularly
heavy in Nogales and in Sonora to
the south and west Of here for in
a few minutes after the storm
broke out the arroyo, usually
dry wash, became a. raging torrent
and threatened for awhile to ov-
erflow into business houses on the
west side of north Grand avenue
as it did last August.
Although the arroyo was high
the depth was about a foot less
than that attained a few days ago
when flood waters from Sonora
swept through here, as a result OF
a heavy storm south of Nogales'

Operating Expenses
Of County Increase

The tentative budget total for
the fiscal year of 1929-30, releas-
ed this week by the county board
of supervisors reveals that the ex-
pense of operating Santa Cruz
county during the ensuing year
will be approximately $S400 more
than that of the fiscal year,
which closed June 80.
The total estimate needs of the
county, including schools, roads
and general funds, total $252, ,901,
as compared to last years ex-
penditures of $244,491.6O. In sew
en- departments there has been al
lowed an increase in the budget,
these amounts ranging from $751;
so in the recorders office to &c.
46O in the sheriff's office.
Cuts are shown in the instanc-
es of five departments, these
ranging from $25 in the office of
the justice of the peace to $2250
for election expenses.
Miscellaneous expenses this
wear are reduced S3145.84 from
the amount actually expended
last year.
While making an allowance of
only $1,000 for development of
the municipal airport, the board
provides a new fund, amounting
to 5000, for special tax attor-
ney's services. While during last
year an aggregate of $4,000 was
allowed for advertising the coun-
lty, no provision for such activity
has been made in the tentative
budget. A slight increase in the
amount allowed for payment OF
salaries to deputy sheriffs, rang
ers, and guards is provided for.
The increase amounts to $3.50, the
appropriation totaling $500.
The sheriff's office will be al
lowed a total of $28,910 under the
tentative official budget, against
an indicated amount last year of
4 $2,450 and actual expenditures

The opening of the Lees Ferry
bridge across the Colorado river
has had the effect of establishing
a we'll defined north and south
travel from such border points as
Douglas and Nogales clear thru
to the Utah line. The recent
bridge dedication sent 5000 auto
lists to the north, and with their
return to the south they have
brought hundreds of cars diverted
from Utah with them.
From an economic standpoint
the increased north and south ira
vel will be of immeasurable bene-
fit to the state at large. 1t will
tend to keep the out-of-state tour
list in Arizona for longer period.
1t will tend to keep Arizona va
cation dollars at home instead of
roaming to the gold coast of Cal
ifornia, never to return.
The average Arizonan has a
sincere desire to see more of his
own state, and the new route to
the north, with such famous OBJ
iectives as Rainbow bridge, Bryce
canyon and Zion national park in
southern Utah will be big help
in the right direction, highway Of.

GOSSIP HELPS CURE
DISABLED VETERANS

WASHINGTON, July 20.-P-
Current chat ranks as a recognized
curative where disabled veterans
ply their tools in the occupational
therapy wards Of Walter Reed hos
pital.
Far from discouraging gossipy
sessions on the banning of liquor
in the British embassy or the social
status Of Mrs. Edward E. Gam, the
white-capped nurses welcome such
displays of normal human interest.
The new size currency and the
last raided still link the wheel-chair

add their bit to the healing pro-
cess.
Such is the psychology underlying
the present ~perceptible : i've of

Vitaphone Has Big
Part In Spectacle
At Rivoli Theater

II may truthfully be said that
few pictures have awakened so deep
an interest as "Noah's Ark" 1t
has been known that Vitaphone
was introduced n the unfolding Of
the story of the colossal spectacle
SNt to what extent was a mystery.
The Warmers were authority for
the statement that Titaphone plays
a considerable part in "Noah's
Ark for the reason that, with all
its pageantry, all its picturesque
sWaying of enormous masses Of
people, its real story was a story
Of the heart.
Hence, Vitaphone comes to the
front in bringing out the dramatic
dialogue of a story that bridges
so centuries and shows that the
greatest thing in the world is, and
always has been-lovel
In the huge scenes set in a pa
gan atmosphere, Vitaphone again
is effective in giving the sound Of
moving forces, but it is in the
Deluge sequences hat the most
marvellous of all synchronizing in
struments comes into its own. These
scenes do many things, not the LEAFS
Of them being to 2 one to mar
vel at their extent and wonder at
the pure nerve of the men who
planned and carried them out on
so gigantic a scale.

PRINCE PLAYS
IN ORCHESTRA
By GEORGE

ASSOCIATED Press correspondent
BUDAPEST, July 20.-P-Once
an heir to splendor, Prince Abdul
Kadir OF Turkey, son Of the late
Sultan Abdul Hamid, is making a
bare living as n Of the violins in
an Hungarian gypsy orchestra. He
receives $500 a night for playing
in a cafe and on this pittance must
support six Of his children and the
last Of his sever wives, as well as
pay alimony to n Of his former
spouseS.
He has tried his hand at compoS-
ing and has produced, among 9TH
er works, a military hymn which
he said he would dedicate to the
man who shall restore the Turkish
monarchy. He has also completed
two operettaS, four tangoes, and has
attempted jazz in the form Of half
a dozen fox trotS.
But there is no market here for
this production. He has found Hun
gary glutted with gypsy airs and
folk songs and with no demand for
classical operate forms or syncopa-
tons Of the Tin Pan Alley school.
Sitting in a dark, dingy room on
the top floor of a ramshackle tene-
ment in the Ghetto Of Budapest,
where he lives in squalor with his
wife and six children, the 50-year-
old prince chatted with the Associ-
ated Press correspondent about the
opulence in which he was born and
the misery to which he has come.
Although reduced almost to beg
gary, this former Sultan's son re-
