ASA GARDNER fine OEF|CER

Many friends in this county have
told the Examiner man that Asa
Gardner, Sheriff Laveen's deputy is
fine man and a good officer. This
morning, Friday, before the busi-
ness houses had opened, Asa, in the
mind of the newspaper man, fully
substantiated all the good things
that have been said about him
A spirited argument between an In
dian and his wife was in full swing
when Asa came along 1t wasn't
just the ordinary domestic SQUAD

Alcohol seemed 10 rule and prompt
action was necessary to restore
safety, quiet and peace to the COM
munity. The Indian, a powerful
man, who apparently had brought
his early morning jag into Coolidge,
would not listen to reason and pre-
ferred fighting. The officer tried
to put the man into his automo-
bile. He took on a job that would
have required a score Of police with
clubs as persuaders. The actions
of this liquor -crazed Indian brought
prompt assistance to the coura-
geous officer and the arrest was
made. Pina4 county is fortunate
in having officers of the caliber OF
Asa Gardner.

extension. In some sections, irri-
cation has been carried on by in
dividually operated pumping plants
Building Program Big
The extension program will in
volve the building of a 10000 volt
transmission line at cost OF
$1SS,725, three substations at a cost
of $209, 900, 35 miles Of telephone
lines costing $500 and the install
lation of switching equipment at
an estimated cost of $25,000
Initial development will not re-
suit in cultivation of the entire
10000 acres as this will take years
but immediate prospects are that
10000 or more acres will be put
under cultivation almost at once
under the new development.
The contracts duration is 25
years, with a clause whereby it may
be extended for ten years more by
the Arizona Edison Company if
that company gives the Water
Users sufficient notice.
An added taxable area for the
state, greater agricultural pros
perity ard the extension Of thG
Water Users power market were
seen as initial advantages of the
development.
Projects Are Listed

which will be constructed by the
contract and their estimated cost

sion line from point to be deter

existing 10000 volt transmission
system to a feasible location on OF

HISTORY OF FRANK H. LYMAN
BY Wayne Davis

Exclusive to Coolidge EXaminer)
at is not too much to say that
no citizen of Arizona commands to
a greater degree than Frank H. Ly-
man the confidence and esteem of
his fellowmen"
That sentence, a quotation from
the official History of Arizona,
stands as a silent tribute to a life
filled with achievement and honor.
The tribute is glowing and the man
is worthy of it.
Frank H. Lyman was admitted to
the bar at Grand Rapids, Michigan,
forty-one years ago. Having re-
ceived his education at Olivet Col
lege, one of Americas earliest rank
ing institutions, flourished until,
after two years practice, he was
called west where, at Ogden, Utah,
he continued in his profession an
other year. The result of his sue
cess in Ogden was his establish
ment in Arizona.
No better indication to his pop
ularity and services can be found
than is embodied in his record of
public service. Although the major
portion of his life in Arizona has
been spent in public service, not
once have the people found fit to
defeat him in any of his aspirations
to public office, but have urged him
on until his record stands as a mon
ument unsurpassed and seldom
equalled.
Mr.. Lyman's first public position
was that of assistant county attor-
ney, in the days when "sheriffs
were sheriffs and county attorneys
were county attorneys" After five
years service in that position, he
was elected county attorney Dur
ing his occupancy of this position,
Mr.. Lyman has the distinction of
convicing some of the most noto-
riCus criminals in western history.
After four years as county attor-
ney, RI Lyman was elected supe-
ricr Judge That was where the
mf jor portion of his influence and
esteem was started. His cool, cal
Gu a.irg manner of handling cases
AMI His unerring judgment. built
for him a reputation of sincerity
and industry, and placed him in the
foremost rank of Arizona citizens
His reward for this service was his
election to the supreme court of the
State. His record in that position
needs no reiteration. 1t established
him as a man versed not only in
law but in the fundamentals oi
business. His decisions have helped
to stimulate, aid and protect Ari
zona enterprises. He displayed g
cunning insight into the basic ne
cessities of human relationship and
association that made his value or
he supreme bench unaccountable.
For the past five years Mr.. Ly
