IS In WRECK

Traffic on the NogaleS- Tucson
line of the Southern Pacific rail-
road was delayed for about six hours
Saturday afternoon when the No
gales wrecEer turned over in front
of the old mill about two miles
north of the city.
The wrecking machine was being
used to lift drill and other heavy
machinery being shipped from the
mill to point near Phoenix by the
Lantz Syndicate Company, No. g.,
owners of the machinery stored for
the past nine years at the mill.
The weight proved too heavy and
caused the wrecker to flop over on
it's side. A wrecker was brought
here from Tucson and cleared the
track. The passenger train due in
here at noon Saturday arrived a.

rs Brahn1a Bulls
For Cibuta Ranch

Seventy four pure bred bulls Of
the ancient stock of Brahmas, de-
cendents of the first known domes-
ticated cattle, we're unloaded Sat-
urday night in Tucson, en- route to
the Gene Sykes and Les WooddeH,
Cibuta Ranch in Sonora. The ship
ment of two carloads from Sartwelle
Brothers of Palacios, Texas and j.
G.. Hudgins and company OF Hung
erford, Texas, will Sraze on the
Midvale Farms South of Tucson for
two months before being removed
to the ranch twenty five miles south
of the border, where they will join
the herd already established.
The original Brahma in India was
known to be domesticated as early
as 5000 B. C. The environment III
it's native tropic and Sub-troplc land
has made the Brahma a particular
ly desirable breed for the South
western arid regions. However, the
Importation of Brahmas has been
restricted and the group is still
somewhat of a curiosity in the Sec
tions of the United States where IT
thrives best.
Twenty five Braham bucKlng
steers of the original herd at Cibuta
are being shipped to Prescott this
week where they will be useo III

$5,423,628 For y
New State Roads

PHOENIX, .Ariz., June 16 (U.P1
"A road budget, calling for an ex-
penditure of $5,423.62S90 on high
ways of Arizona during the ensuing
fiscal year, has been officially
adopted by the state highway COM
mission.
After hearing protests to a Sec
ton of the budget, the commission,
by. vote of 8 to l., approved the
tentative budget taken under con-
sideration several weeks ago.
Commissioners Addams, chair
man; Barth of st. Johns and Tren-
grove of Prescott, voted for adop-
ton with Commissioner Mansfield
of Tucson opposing the action. Com
missioner Hart of Douglas declined
to vote.
Projects under contract prior to
July 1 will be carried over into the
next year increasing the amount OF
money actually to be expended to
more than 100000.
A fight to prevent adoption of
the budget until assurance would be
given fer oiling Of the Casa Grande-
Gila Bend highway was made by
delegations from Pinal, southern
Maricopa, Pima, Yuma and ;Cochise
counties.
The commissioners however, re-
fused to change the budget.
Rep. JOHN Rapp of Pima county
subn1itteG a petition to the COM
mission, bearing 5000 signatures.
calling on the department to ap-
prcpriate S23o,000 for oiling of the
highway.
GRACE sparkes of Prescott pre-
sented another petition asking the
commission to adopt the budget as
it was originally drawn.
Dell Potter OF Clifton urged the
commission to designate the Coro-
nado trail in eastern Arizona in the
seven per cent system. Action ON
this matter is expected at a later
date.
An effort to prevent a change IN
routing the road serving Superior
was made by delegation. The oe-
partment has rerouted the high
way from the south to the north
side of Queen creek. The Magma

No Shrinkage In
State Land Values

PHOENIX, AriZ, june 16 lU.P)
Arizona is the only state in the
west, and one Of the two states in
the nation, which has not shown
q decline in land values within the
past year, figures compiled by the
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and
U. S. department of Agriculture
show.
For the nation as a whole. real
estate values have droped nine per
cent within the last IL months. this
being the sharpest decline in the
nations history.
The shrinkage of land values was
minor in New England, the Rocky
Mountain region and the Pacific
slope. Only Arizona and Connect
cut escaped the decline.
South central, south Atlantic and
north central states experienced the
greatest losses. 1t is pointed out.
however. that those states witness
ed rapidly rising values during the
boom during and following the

Stopping A War

Disinclined as the United States is to in- terfere in European affairs, it feels no such hesitancy about Asia. Our government has taken the trouble in Manchuria very serious ly using its influence directly to persuade Japan and China to keep the peace, and asking the League of Nations to exert all its power to the same end.
 This sort of action has to be taken if in- ternational peace pacts and pledges are going to amount to anything more than plous ges- lures.
 Japan stands at least suspected of deliber- ate aggression against China. The latter country may have given more cause of of- fense against Japan than the Chinese govern ment cares to admit, but wants peace. Re- straining measures have to be applied partie- ularly to Japan, which is restive and quick on the trigger, and is accused of ambitious aims for territorial extension at Chnas ex- penSe.
 What right have America and other powers to intrude? The right that comes from the joint signing ot the kellogg-brlano treaty ''renouncing war as an instrument of national policy" likewise as signatories of the nine-power pact of 1922 to maintain peace in the Pacific and respect the sover- eighty, the independence and the territorial and administrative integrity of China" The League of Nations can properly appeal to both of the disputants as members of that body.
 Here is a good test of whether solemn treaties to keep the peace mean anything. The present method is to prevent war by massing world opinion against the bellicose nations before open hostilites begin. If peace can- not be maintained by peaceful persuasion and moral coercions, the world may yet be driven to such an international police force as Roosevelt and Taft used to urge.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-16

Wasn't it last year that John Harvard came into unpleasant notoriety by dismiss ing number of women engaged in scrubbing floors at the university. If we remember rightly there was so much furore raised about the incident that undergraduates came to the dismissed employees support with cash contributions. Yale isn't going to let thing like that happen within her hallowed domains. The Yale Daily News this week advocates more chambermaids for the col lege. In discussing the case the News points out that in four hours the maids are ex- pected to do a certain amount of work. Other little jobs must be neglected, such as picking up clothes or arranging rooms. Students must do this themselves, says the News. Alas, has 1t come to this?

Roosevelt Honored

An entire island in the Potomac river within the limits of the District of Colum- bia will shortly be dedicated as a memorial to the late Theodore Roosevelt. 26th presi- dent of the United States. Acquisition of Analostan Island has just been announced by James R. Garfield. president of the Roose- welt Memorial Association. The purchase price of the island. one of real scenic value. was reputed to be about $364.OO What shape or form the memorial will take is yet to be decided. but certainly no more beautiful background nor surrounding could have been selected Surrounded as it will be by the Washington Monument Lincoln Memorial. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Arlington National Cemetery with its famous Custis Lee mansion. the magnificent new memorial bridge linking the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington cemetery the Roosevelt memorial will be in fine company.
 In 1925 the Roosevelt Memorial Assoeia- ton named John Russell Pope to design suitable monument. Mir Pope was selected only after a national competition. His de- sign. a monumental fountain flanked by colonnades. was submitted to Congress where it may be said to have died natural death. It was neither approved nor re- jected. Analostan Island will become public park and will be joined with the mainland by bridges. At one time it was proposed to erect gas storage tanks on the island. but through the intervention of the Capitol Planning Commission this atrocity was prevented. Its owner at the time was the Washington Gas Light Company. That concern sold the island to the Roosevelt Memorial Association.
 There is great historical background to Analostan Island. It was originally owned by Lord Baltimore. During the Revolu- tionary War George Mason. a signer of the Declaration of Independence and author of the Bill of Rights. bought it. His son in- berited it and even built his own there.

FROST
(Hartford Courant)

(Hartford Courdnt)
 Frost was apparent on Tuesday. Here it could not be classed as killing, although in Stafford Springs ice a quarter of an inch formed. Here it was merely a signal that nature intends to check the growth of vegetation, but that Is all. It IS possible that the first killing frost will come late as in 1880, when it appeared on the morning of Octo- Der 21. Until rain falls the danger of a killing frost is not great.
 But let us be thankful for what we have. We look for the appear ance of autumnal foliage-the red of the naples and the woodbine, not to mention the coloring of poi son sumac which Is best viewed from a distance by one who is not immune. Oak leaves may be watch ed with the knowledge that they will presently grow brown and sere. but though useless. they will cling to the twig as old men do to life. Other leaves will fall to the ground and make work for the householder, who may bury them, in which case they will become hu- mus and enjoy a resurrection Tn some other form, or may burn them, in which case they start quickly upon new career. AS they lie now, they afford sport TOT children, who delighted in them' we feel sure, before history began. Only those who suffer from spirit ual biliousness mourn at the sight of fallen leaves, rustling at the be- hest of a passing breeze.
 But while they last. let us look at the unusual types, the witch hazel leaves and shrubs. for exam ple, The leaves. a pale gold, are now falling, and the shrub Is m bloom. its blossoms giving forth q faint and not unpleasant odor, And, it might be added. the lsSo crop of witch hazel nuts or seeds are now ripening. And watch the ash for original color.
