IMPROVEMENT At
THE CASA CRANDE
NATAL MONUMENT

Considerable improve
ments are to take place al
the Casa Grande National
Monument during the COM
ing year. Advices received
from the Washington office,
by the superintendent Of
flee at the ruins contain the
following allotments:
New roof over the Casa
Grande proper-$36, 100000.
This will be an all steel
structure, 106 feet square
and 25 feet higher than the
present structure. The land
scape Department of the Ma
tional Park Service, with the
assistance of the Engineer
ing Department, are working
on plans and specifications
now but construction will not
start until fall. The archi-
tects quite frankly admit that
they never before been con-
fronted with such a problem.
They are endeavoring to
strike a happy medium
whereby they will obtain
something giving the maxi
mum protection and yet
something that will not de-
tract from the appearance OF
the ruins. The Landscape De
partment has been assured
that the people of Coolidge
and vicinity will consider
anything an improvement
over the present covering.
For the construction of Il
new resident for the Superin-
tendent of Southwestern
Monuments -$45O0.OO.
For a resident for a Gus
todian who will be appointed
July -S29OO.0O
For a three car garage,
implement ard tool she'd
$4,000.
$10,500.00 is available for
a new administration build
ing and museum. In this will
be all the offices of the of
ficials and display rooms for
the artifacts recovered from
the ruins.
Plans are being SUBMIT
ed for all Of this construction
and work on all will start in
the next couple of months,
except on the shelter for the
ruins which will be held over
until fall.
Another possible improve.
ment is the fencing of two
sides of the reservation and
the erection of a decorative
gateway at the east entrance.
All other roads will be
closed. If some arrangement
can be made with the con-
tractor who oils the highway
from Coolidge to Sacaton the
road leading from the main
highway to the administra-
ton area will be oiled.
705 visitors registered at
the ruins last week.

STORY OF APACHES'
LAST STAND TOLD At
HIRAM CLUB MEETING

Big Dry Wash on the Tor
to rim north of Payson, the
scene of the last big battle
in Arizona between the Apa-
che Indians and United
States troopers, is to be mark
ed this summer with a monu-
ment according to Will c..
Barnes, Arizona pioneer ard
noted author, in an address
yesterday noon before the
Hiram Club. Mr.. Barnes
told of the battle which
marked the end of the war
between the Indians and the
government troops in the
state.
The battle took place i'll
1880, he said, after the band
Of Apache Indians had raid
ed upper Gila valley and
back through the Tonto basin
leaving behind them a
bloody trail of ranchers
killed by the Indians.
"The Indians" Mr.. Barnes
said, climbed on top of the
rim which gave them a view
of the entire basis. They
saw one troop of vavalry
mounted on white horses but
failed to see other troops
mounted on black and bay
horses and one troop on
whites horses. AS a result
they estimated they had only
to fight about 40 cavalrymen
and retreated back up the
mountain.
''The Indians ambushed
themselves on both sides OF
Big Dry Wash and waited
for the cavalrymen to come
through the wash. Instead
the cavalrymen surrounded
them. The fight lasted all
day and by night the Indians
were pretty we'll whipped.
During the night the Indians
slipped out one by one and
the next morning all were
gone. The United States
States troops lost three killed
and a number were wounded,
including two young lieuten-
ants who had just come from
West Point. The Indians
lost 22 men and the number
of wounded was not learned.
81 have been trying for
some time to get the war de-
partment to erect a monu-
ment to mark the location.
With the help Of Senator Carl
Hayden / have succeeded in
getting the war department
to lay aside $4,000 for the
monument which is to be
built as soon as materials can
be moved to the spot. It will
be dedicated this summer.
81 have been asked fire.

last of the three typhoid and
diphtheria shots Thursday

we were surprised to find
that so many can run so fast.
We have a broad jumb pit
and a high jump pit. Tim
Parker so far is the fastest
runner in the little team and
Mark Chitwood is so far the
fastest runner on the big
team. In about two weeks

NEW YORK, Jan. 81. U.P)-Com-
petition being the life of trade, not
to mention the old one about ele-
plants never forgetting. Mickey
Walker and Johnny Risko will meet
in Miami on February "a, just one
week before Frank Bruen presents
Primo Camera and Jim Maloney to
the sun-tanned natives.
Bruen. one time general manager
of Madison Square Garden, an
nounced his extravaganza several
weeks ago; the Walker -Risko oppo-
sition thing was announced only
yesterday with PA" Stribling as the
straw promoter. BY straw promoter
we mean that many OF the boys and
girls are convinced that PA" is
nothing more than front for tho
garden In an attempt to put the
chill on an old employees show.
The Garden has renounced all
claim to the show, pointing out that
Walker Is suspended In this state
and to deal with Mickey would lead
to all sorts of complications with
the New York boxing commission.
The Garden did admit, however,
that its Miami stadium had been
leased to the elder Stribling for his
show. Stribling, in turn, probably
will rent 1t to Bruen.
"Pas" show will be much more
than just meeting between the
middleweight king and the Cleve-
land baker boy.
Two of the extra attractions will
be the personal appearance Of w.

Hays pointed out to the Southern
Pacific officials that hay moving
from other parts of California Is
subject to grinding-in-transit privi-
lege and unless Imperial Valley
shipments are accorded the same
privilege, this community Is placed
at a disadvantage in competition
with northern hay. Lately, through
the efforts of the chamber Of COM
merce and the farm bureau and
other organization, hay rates were
materially decreased. Northern Cal-
ifornia also obtained rate reduc-
ton and the additional privilege OF
grinding transit, but Imperial

ALL STAR CARD
ARRANGED FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT

Five bouts of six rounds each,
containing six boys who have
fought main events in the local
arena, Is the card offered Friday
night at the Imperial Valley Athle-
tic club, Matchmaker Harry Wood
bury having decided to give the
fans plenty of variety for change.
It Is booked as an all-star card
and when one reads down the list
1t Is certain the card lives up to
its name.
Heading the list are Sammy
Aguirre and Mickey O'Neal. Fans
remember the shellacking Sammy
gave to Alicante here a couple OF
weeks ago, being the first boy to
make the flashy Filipino take the
short end of the decision. Just how
good Sir Michael is may be deduced
from the fact that within the last
60 days he has beaten Spug Mey-
ers and Sammy Mandell, former
lightweight champion, at Rockford,
Ill. Mickey is a New York main
eventer and is believed capable of
giving Sammy busy evening of it.
Right below this match the fans
Will see none other than frankie
Arregon and Russ Bradford. Fran
kie needs no introduction to I'm
perial Valley. He has met SO many
Good ones here that 1t would be
tiresome to repeat them. There are
number of good fights left in him
and he will have to trot one out
Friday night If advance notices on
Bradford are fulfilled. Bradford
has had three main events on the
coast since coming out here from
Wisconsin, and has won all three.
Johnny Ramirez is the boy who
took trouncing from Alicante.
who was unable to knock him out
IN 10 rounds of hard fighting
Johnny went cuckoo in the second
round but snapped out of it when
all the fans thought he was due
for a kayo, and after that gave the
Filipino plenty Of fight for the bal
ance of the bout. He is meeting
Al Wolgast, a young brother of the
former champion, Ad Wolgast, who
has been almost as good a battler
as the famous Cadillac Bearcat."
AL has the same rip-snorting style
OF attack that won his brother the
worlds championship and is rated
ace-high in the midwest.
Jimmy Alvaredo, the nice little
hoy who fights such a good scrap,
and who will be recalled for the
trouncing he gave Red Humphries,
goes to the post against bad medi-
cine," none other than Young Da-
vid. Jimmy is fast and clever, and
If he can keep away from that mur-
derous punch David packs, he has
q chance of winning. But this
Dayid-zowie.
Mariana Cebu, who has won all
his fights by knockouts except the
time he stacked up against the vet
eran Trench King, has the opening
spot with Johnny Martinez as his
opponent. Johnny fought the main
event at the Main street club in
Los Angeles last Saturday night, so
perhaps the fans can tell us how
Woodbury. does 1t. We give up. A
