Twenty years ago, under the live
oaks at the Papago in Vaughn, more
than thousand people. including
Gov. Hunt and many early settlers
and inhabitants of Nogales, Tucson,
Patagonia, and surrounding districts,
attended the annual settlers picnic.
Though other settlers picnics had
been held prior to this, this was the
first where farm products were dis
played and small prizes given.
At this picnic the first definite ex
preston of Fair plan was discus
sed. Conceived by Mr.. Purdun1, Sr,,
the idea was taken up by numerous
others, whose work and enthusiasm
made possible successful Fair Or
SANITATION. Among those who spent
years of service in furthering the
interests of the organization with
out remuneration are Frank Neil,
deceased; Joe Collie, Bob Campbell.
L. w. Klene, VIM. and Stone Collie,
Mrs. Nellie Bartlett, John McCarty
and many others.
To this organization twenty acres
near Sonoita. Arizona. were given as

Project Has Not Been
Approved; c.. C. Gets
Into Action

Someone back in Washington ap-
parently nisinformed United States
Senator Carl Hayden a few weeks
ago.
Hayden wired the Nogales Cham
Der of Commerce on June IL that
the Public Works Administration in
Washington had approved an ap-
preparation of 100000 for construc-
ton of Unit No. of the flood con-
troll works here. Unit No. is the
northern extension to Unit No. /,
on Morley avenue.
This week the Chamber Of Com
merce got word from the Ell Paso
office of the international Bound
ary Commission that the appropria-
ton has not been granted and nei-
ther has the project been approved.
therefore, the boundary commission
on August is closing its office in
the Hotel Bowman, relieving en-
ployees, and shipping office equip
nent back to Ell Paso.
Upon receipt of the bad news
from the boundary commission E.
K. Cumming, secretary OF the
Chamber of Commerce, Immediately
got in touch with Washington in an
effort to get an appropriation for
the project and also for the two pro-
posed dams on the Santa Cruz riv-
er and Sonoita creek.
Unless some projects are started
here very shortly the city and coun-
ty are going to be up against it
from an unemployment angle. On
Tuesday of this week the number
of persons registering for work at
the Chamber of Commerce had
reached a total of 1915.

CITY RESERVOIR
REPAIRED AND

The reservoir on top of the hill
above the E. J. Dittmer home on
Marsh Heights was as clean as a
ballroom floor following thorough
cleaning and repairing completed
the first of the week under the dir
ection of City Water Superintend-
ent D. Higginbotham.
The reservoir was principally en-
ptied for the purpose of repairs, Mr..
Higginbotham in two and one half
days and at a cost Of only $50 to
the city. he said, plugging up all the
holes that had allowed water to
leak out long time.
According to Mr.. Higginbotham
the reservoir had been leaking for
about eight years and he estimated
that about 10000 gallons every "a
hours had gone to waste.
The biggest leak was about eight
feet wide and four inches deep. 1t
was in the center and near the
floor. There were several small leaks
and all have now been celnented.
After the leaks were repaired Mr..
Higginbotham and assistants gave
the reservoir good scrubbing and
removed about eight inches of muck
that covered the entire bottom. Re-
filling Of the big water container

Camp Perry, Ohio, on the shores
of Lake Erie, will soon be the site
of the most famous rifle and pistol
matches in the world.
The national rifle and pistol
matches. held there yearly for about
20 years until 1881, will be resumed
this fall on September 1st.
Ten man teams, with extras and
alternates, from every state in the
union, both civilian and National
guard, with in addition an Officers
Reserve team and teams from every
branch of the active military SER
vice. will meet to compete for the
great rifle team trophy
There will also be probably more
than a thousand individuals, unat-
tached to any teams, who will COM
pete with team members in their
individual capacity for great num-
ber of interesting and in some cases
historical trophies.
The most famous of all is the
Leach Trophy, trophy donated to
the National Rifle Assn by Sir
George Leach who captained an
Irish team that visited this country
in the early seventies and shot
some great matches.
Service teams, such as the Army,
Navy. Marines, Cavalry. Engineers
and Ccest Guard usually bring along
a score OF more extr,l individuals
termed Pot Hunters, who specialize
in the individual matches and who
usually collect a liberal share of the
Prize money.
The greatest of the individual
matches is, of course, he National
Individual Championship match
and the Presidents Match. These
two matches frequently have nearly
1000 entries apiece.
In all probability at least 5000
riflemen will be Oh hand for this
affair of three weeks.
The tournament opens Sept 1st,
with six days instruction in the use
Of the rifle. $50 of those taking
the school of instruction are exper-
fenced shots and the purpose of the
school is to teach riflemen the STAN

Read The Budget And Kick, Kick, Kick!

The law allows ten percent increase IN the city
budget each year but such increase is not manda
tory.
Attending meeting of the mayor and board Of
the average person cannot help from get
ting the impression, from much wranging, that the
budget must be increased
Nothing is said at those meetings by Mayor Bet
twy, so far recall, about slashing expendi
lures and saving the taxpayers money.
Instead Of increasing the budget for the coming
fiscal year why does Bettwy not try to cut it down!
That question is easily answered
Andrew Bettwy in about four months will
have battle on his hands He will be the target at
recall election and in that battle he is going to need
lot of workers and voters if he is to remain in office
If BettWy can increase the budget that means
employment of more persons than actually needed In
a city the size Of Nogaes. Naturally, the persons
holding office under Bettwy going to get out and
f gh hard to keep him from being defeated and the
more he has on the city payroll the more he will have
on his firing line.
The International advises every taxpayer in this
city to carefully read the tentative city budget and
ascertain the increase i'll various items over the past
year.
August 18th has been set as the day for the hear
ing of protests against the budget and August 10Th
the day for final adoption.
If enough taxpayers will get busy and protest
vigorously feel certain majority of the aldermen
will cut out unnecessary increases last years
budget.
The tentative budget was approved by the mayor
after it had been passed by vote Of to l, Alderman
Edmonson voting in the negative. Other aldermen
should have voted with Edmonson.
Between now and August 18th is the time to act
If you do not howl and kick before the five
aldermen who voted for the tentative budget will
think you too favor the tentative budget Let those
five aldermen know how you feel about the matter
and let them know you are not with Bettwy in his
apparent determination to build up political ma
chine by having unnecessary increase in city ex-
penses.
The refunding plan, if put through will give tax
payers temporary relief, but at the time there
will be additional relief if city expenses are held
down. WAKE UP. TAXPAYERS, BE ON THE
ALERT AT ALL TIMES. KICK AGAINST THE
BUDGET AS 1T NOW STANDS
