HOLBROOK. June with a
horizontal valuation reduction OF 20
percent in real estate and improve
ments to be made by the Navajo
county board of equalization, coup
led with reductions in railroad and
land valuations to be made by the
state tax commission, it became ap-
parent today that Navajo county
will drop back to a fourth class
county.
According to figures compiled by
the board of equalization in ses-
sion here Navajo county's total val
uation will drop under $10,0O0,000
which will automatically place the
county in fourth Classification, the
state law providing that when the
valuation Of any county shall drop

SALARY CUT OF
$4,000 A YEAR
AT NOGALES

The ten per cent cut in pay of
civilian government employees, pro-
vided for in the new revenue bill,
means a total salary slash of $25,-
coo a year for Nogales government
employees, it was declared yesterday
by a local man.
He said that more than 100 civil
ians here are affected by the cut,
and furthermore that all army folks,
except enlisted men, get a ten per-
cent cut in pay.

NAVAJO COUNTY DROPS TO
FOURTH CLASS; 20 PERCENT
CUT MADE In VALUATION
Horizontal Valuation Reduction Of Twenty Percent
In Real Estate And improvements
Ordered By Navajo Board

under that figure it shall auto
matically revert to the lower class.
Navajo county is now third class
county.
Reduced Values
The valuation for 1892 was
approximately $11,849,O00 and with
an anticipated reduction in rail-
road and land valuations Of ap-
rroximately S1,7O0,OOO together with
an assured drop in valuation of
other property under last year, the
county board of equalization was
convinced today that this countys
classification would be affected
For some time the board has been
contemplating q straight reduction
on real estate and improvements of
20 per cent in line with reductions
in every other county in the state,
and although some reductions were
made by the assessors office it had
been anticipated that the total re-
duction would not affect the county's
classification.
New Total Valuation
It was announced that the board
would now proceed with the 20 per
cent contemplated reduction on pro-
perty values which will bring the
total county valuation to an e2-
ifinAted $9,00O,OOO for state and
county purposes.
Reasons tor a straight 20 per cent
reduction are explained by the board
to be consistent with reductions in
valuations in other counties Of the
state. This reduction would offset
the reductions in valuations OF
mines and other classes of lndust
.;al property which would increase
the total tax yield of the county
for state purposes. The reduction
in valuation is expected to save the
taxpayers of Navajo county in the
neighborhood of $4,000 (which other
wise would have been paid in state
taxes.
Salary Reduction
While the lowering of the county
classification to that of a fourth
class county will result in slight
reduction in salaries of county Cifi-
GERS, it was pointed out by the
beard of equalization that this will
constitute a material reduction in
county expenses although the work
required of the various county Of
fices will not be reduced.
The state tax commission has al
ready announced that the railroads
will be given a reduction in valua-
ton up to approximately 20 per
cent while the valuation of the
Apache railway will be dropped to
$500 per mile from $4,000 per mile.
/ Reduction in valuation will also
be given the large landowners in the
county of approximately 10 per cent
/ it was said.
The reductions to be effected in
real estate and improvements will
be based upon last years assess
ments, the board pointed out, in or
der that the horizontal reduction
shall be an equitable one affecting
all property alike.

So encouraging has been the response
to the innovation thst plans have been
made to enlarge the club membership
and set up a permanent stage with
lighting equipment and other customary
appurtenances of the grown-up drama.
The idea of the club originated with
Mrs. Virginia Weir, church secretary,
who sought something to keep children
of the church school occupied while
their elders were at worship. She en-
listed the aid of Miss Adelaide Kraft,
playground director, to stage the shows.
A double purpose was achieved, Miss
Kraft believes, in that both the club
members and their audiences were
taught Bible stories in a manner which
held their interest.

Eruption Is SubSiding
BY r. A. FUSONI
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

SANTIAGO, Chile. April 12.-The
heaving Andes, with half dozen
volcanic peaks that for two days
spouted smoke and ashes, spreading
terror over a vast area of the
southern part of the continent, sub
sided today.
The fear of resultant earthquakes
coming after the prelude of one of
the most remarkable volcanic
demonstrations on record, remained
to keep the population of Southern
Chile and western Argentina I'M
easy however.
The rain of ashes and cinders
that spread from the Pacific to the
Atlantic over distance of 1000
miles, covering some towns to a
depth of more than foot with the
fine ashen rain, had ceased entirely
in the center of the affected region
and the skies were clearing.
The United Press communicated
today with the entire affected zone
and was advised that the eruptions
had ceased almost everywhere.
Residents of the town Of Talco,
destroyed by the earthquake of De-
cember, 1928, when 400 lives we're
lost, said the fires in the Andes,
which had glowed above the peaks
in a terrifying demonstration, ap-
parently had ceased.
The fine covering of ashes. which
had spread everywhere, covered the
ground and buildings like drifting
snow as patrols started into the
mountains to determine extent of
the damage.
Streams of water we're poured in
to the streets and fields here TO
wash away the volcanic deposits.
Investigation was started to de-
termine damage to crops and fruit,
menace to future growth and to
cattle if the rains do not clear The
ground.

fingerprint found on the bed in
which Alberta Knight, II, was
strangled to death, Glenn Donald
Shustrom, g. signed a. confession
that he attacked the girl and then
killed her by twisting a wire around
her throat.
Police Chief Clay Collins said the
development was unexpected, as
Shustrom. an oil refiner, Who lived
across the street from the rooming
house of Mrs. Cynthia Knight,
where the girl died, had not been
under suspicion.
Collins said the confession was
obtained after f1ngerprint experts
found Shustrom's f1ngerprints COIN
cided with one found on the bed.
The prints were made when Shus-
from was questioned about a party
he attended at the rooming house
the night before the girls body was
discovered.
Police quoted the confession as
saying Shustrom attended the party
with Jack Gibson, a roomer. They
had several drinks and then re-
tired in Gibson's room. Shustrom
rose at 6 a. M, police said, and
went to the girls room. She was
slain when she recognized her at

BUENOS AIRES, April 12.-Vol-
canoes in the Andes spread cur
tain of ashes, gas and volcanic dust
quietly and steadily for a dis
lance of 1000 miles across the
plunging many towns into darkness,
terrifying residents endangered by
gases and threateni1s serious loss
of life, property, crops and live
stock.
Ofacials of the Red Cross at
Mendoza, Argentine city near the
Chilean frontier, prepared to dis
patch oxygen tanks to the town OF
Malargue, where the air was so full
of gas and dust that breathing was
difficult.
Town authorities reported that
fiiSsures had appeared in the earth
and that the population was fleeing.
Several towns on the border APP
pealed to the ministry of interior
for help.
Martin Gil, local meteorologist
predicted that volcanic activity
would continue and that the ashes
might emerge so hot that they
would convert rain and mist into
boiling water.
Ashes Fall in Streets
At BuenoS Aires, thirty-six hours
from Chile and about 800 miles from
the Pacific coast airline, showers OF
volcanic ashes fell in the streets.
Residents covered their faces with
handkerchiefS, protected their cloth
ing with umbrellas, and Scurried tC
their homes.
The ashes were carried even far
Their to the east, falling in Monte
video, capital of Uruguay, and pre-
sumably travelled on out over the
Atlantic.
The gray blanket was reported tC
be about sixteen inches deep at the
town of Malargue.
Most railway trains were delayed
because the locomotive wheels could
not grip the rails, covered with ash.
Tons Of Ashes Fall
A consensus of scientists fixed
5000 tons as the weight of ashes
scattered in Buenos Aires alone.
Mail airplane pilots who crossed
the Andes in the fog said the ash
clouds made better speed than their
planes. When the clouds reached
here, they set taxicab drivers and
motorists looking for their goggles
pedestrians hurrying home, and
truck farmers covering up their
gardens
The town of Malargue, apparent

about 200 miles north of Mendoza
and near the Chilean frontier. The
town is about 100 miles southeast
