 SWEEP OvER LARGE
 AREA IN HE STATES
EIGHTEEN INCH SNOWFALL IS RECORDED AT CITY
 IN IDAHO
(By Associated Press)

A white blanket of snow lay iii various sections of the Pacific Northwest in the wake of blizzards which swept over the wide area from the Canadian line to South ern Oregon, Southern Idaho and inland through the entire country through Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.
 Regions in the Cascade Noun tains, sections of Washington and Oregon were hit the hardest by the blizzard. At Wallace, Idaho, IS inches of snow fell and this was blown into drifts which paralyzed stage and railroad travel.
 Two deaths are attributed to the bad weather and grave concern is felt as to the safety of 30 road workers who were caught high in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. The road workers were attempting to break a trail between Blue Lake and Stuttle Lake to reach a lower altitude.
 Property loss over the area is not severe and the damage caused in- cluded the breaking down of wires and the breaking down of numer- ous buildings caused by the high winds.
 The highways are either blocked or made dangerous to travel by the snowdrifts and two Oregon rivers have been swollen to a flood stage.

The telegraph companies
are encouraging the obser-
vance of Mothers Day by
,i.55rreei ,i.5rreei 4eiKltljpg eKljjpq dozen or
citation to be sent to mother.
The gh we presume the
companies are doing this in
the way of increasing the
volume OF their business, it
is a worthy enterprise and
will be of greater benefit to
sons and daughters and to
mothers than all the in
creased tolls will be to the
telegraph companies.
Il is not the fault of the
companies that so many of
us are too lazy or too negli-
gent to write or to send a
message to mother without
such a reminder as is now
being given us of the ap-
proach Of Mothers Day.
We hope the receipts of
the companies from this
businets which is being
worked up will be heavy,
for then t h Gus S a n d S of
mothers will have been made
happy, who would otherwise
have found the day a gloomy

GOV. HUNT ASKS THE
PUBLIC TOSUPPORT
ARIZONA FIRMS

The Tenth Legislature of
Arizona revised our laws
covering employment of citi-
zens on public works in this
State. Apparently Arizona
now has adequate laws to
insure preference being
given to Arizona citizens on
all public work.
No legislation has been
enacted giving preference
to Arizona manufacturers,
producers and business in
stitutions in furnishing sup
plies to the State and its sub
divisions. Yet, it is Arizona
industry that provides en-
ployment for Arizona labor.
Every legitimate and rea-
sonable preference should
be given Arizona institutions
in purchasing supplies for
public purpose. These peo-
pie pay taxes in our State,
and assist in the mainten-
ance of our State govern
ment and public institutions.
They employ local labor, and
thus help in alleviating the
problem of unemployment,
which is very acute at this
time. For these reasons, |
trust that all departments of
our State Government, and
of the subdivisions of the
State will adopt an active
policy of giving preference
to Arizona producers, manu-
facturers and business men
in the purchase of supplies
when conditions are equal,
or nearly so. Unless Arizona
producers and business men
obtain orders for their pro-
ducts, they cannot give en-
ployment to Arizona labor.
Complaints have reached
my office that branches or
departments of the State
government have placed or
ders outside the State for
products which could have
been obtained on a competi-
tive basis within the State,
and that in some instances,
local dealers were not even
invited to bid or quote prices
on the supplies desired. This
is a condition that should
not exist, and certainly
should not continue.
trust that all officials in
Arizona, charged with the
authority and duty of pur-
chasing materials and sup
plies for public purposes,
will cooperate in giving rea-
sonable and legitimate pre-
ference to Arizona business
men and Arizona products,
and thus materially aid in
promoting employment for
our citizens and prosperity
for our people.
Very sincerely,
George w. P. Hunt,
Governor.
