taxes was effected at meeting in
Hotel Adams at which seven county
taxpayer organizations were repre-

Omy in state government Mr..
Woolf said after the meeting. This
can be done only by an organized
effort of all taxpayers. 1t must be
done. We are facing disaster if
we don't put the brakes on spend

APACHES TRIM
BISBEE PUMAS

The Nogales High School Apaches
defeated the Bisbee High School
Pumas by a 27-20 score in Bisbee
on Saturday evening to break even
on the weeks play and move back
into the picture of conference stand
ing by sharing second place with
the Pumas. The first of the two
game series, contest with the
Douglas High School Bulldogs on
Friday evening, resulted in 20
36 defeat for the mis- team. The
weeks play concluded the first
round of conference play for the
sea On and left the Tucson and
DOUGLAS teams in a ti2 for first
place with two victories and de-
feat each, and the Nogales and
Bisbee fives N second place with
victory for each and two defeats.
The Apaches got off to a bad
start in the series by letting the
Bulldogs get a fifteen to one lead
on Friday evening, and dropping
the contest by this margin as they
were able to match their opponents
counter for counter after this point.
The Apaches, however, passed up a
chance to have annexed the con-
test on free throws alone as the
Bulldogs committed twenty-five
fouls Turing the contest.
The N. H. S. team entered the
game against the Pumas with the
dope decidedly in favor of the Bis
bee team as the Pumas had recent
ly defeated the Bulldogs on the
Douglas floor; but the ApacheS
turned in whale of a game to
take their first conference contest
and upset the dope bucket all over
the lot. The game opened at a slow
pace with neither five being able
to get underway during the entire
first half and the score being 8-6 in
favor of the Pumas as the second
period ended. The second half,
however, was Q1II6renC SGOrV as
the Apaches came to life and un-
leashed a scoring attack that gave
them the lead and a gradually in
creasing margin as the game went
on.
The weeks play was of consider
able significance to the Apaches in
that Mike Rosas was uncovered as
a scoring ace for the N. H. S. team
RoSaS turned in nice game each
evening and was also high point
man in each contest for his team.
This discovery gives the local team
three men in the front court who
are reliable point getters.

BANK
SUES CITY FOR
$3.50 INTEREST

The city of Nogales was made de-
fendant in a civil suit filed in the
superior court Thursday by the VAL

headquarters in Phoenix.

$3.50 is due the bank on, negotia-
BILE coupqns representing interest

bonds-considered a general obli-
cation.
Mayor Bettwy yesterday morning,
the next day after papers had been
served on the city, said that the
city has 20 days to file an answer
to the allegations contained in the
complaint.
The Mayor, indicating he will
fight the case to the limit, because
of the bond moratorium he declar-
ed last summer, issued the following
statement yesterday:
1.-The city of Nogales has declared
moratorium. We have tried to
obtain the cooperation of the bond
holders to extend the time pay
ments of bonds and lower rate
of interest but the banks and bond
holders refuse to do this.
''They want six per cent interest,
which they are not going to get
under this administration. If they
try to embarrass us in the courts
we will declare tax strike and not
one person will pay dime"
"Rumors in Phoenix and else
where about the state, continued
Mayor Bettwy, "are that the bond
holders must bust up the Nogales
moratorium. They have the law but
after all we have the money and
we won't pay until an equitable ar
rangement is made"

Marshall, of Chicago, special as
SiStant administrator Stewart
Mcdonald of the Federal Housing

Salt River Valley through several
seasons and still property owner
here, came to Arizona last week on
a tour of the Western states for
conferences with local bankers and
to give them such assistance as they
might desire in fUrthering their
work with the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, especially under Title
II of the housing act, which pro-
vides for financing existing and
new home construction. His mission
was directed especially toward in
teresting Arizona banks in selling

financial institutions which are in
the market for FILA insured mort
cages as an investment.

as well as other Southern Arizona
cities. as is the case generally over
the country, that there are very

The case, as it will be presented
to the supreme court, also VIII be

The alien land law suits grew out
of the near serious troubles in the
Salt River valley in 1894, when sew

bombed by marauding bands of
white men.
Three Japanese were charged in
superior court with violating the
alien land-law, which prohibits per-
sons not eligible to citizenship from
owning or leasing farm lands. They
were convicted and appealed to the
higher tribunal, in civil cases.
Four criminal cases also were in

wood exploded under strain in sub zero weather. Yew has another disadvantage, he explained, as it loses strength in hot weather, but it is supreme in temperate cli- mates. "Yew is the king of all woods for bow construction" he said, "but like other monarchs, has many moods"
 The yew boy is strung with a composite string of 12 strands of 9 pound test cuttyhunk line, and will stand an actual strain of 500 pounds
 MT. Young, who also manufac- lures his own arrows, has with him quantity of shafts fitted with various types of heads, including broadhead, lancelet, bullethead, and target pile. Accuracy is governed almost entirely by the fetching, or feathers attached to the shaft, which corresponds to the rifling in a gun-barrel, and the shafts are made from Port Orford cedar or birch. Although turkey and geese feathers are generally used for fetching, he said, eagle feathers are best but cannot be obtained in commercial quantities.
 Target Shooting
 Target shooting with bow is vastly different from big game hunting with a weapon of that type, MT. Young explained. Bows requiring a draw of more than 35 pounds are seldom used for target shooting because under American tournament rules five "ends," ol thirty arrows. are shot at each oi three distances, 60, 50 and 40 yards and continued shooting with a heavy bow results in fatigue de structive to accuracy
 A bow requiring a pull of & pounds is capable of killing all sort. of big game found in Alaska, ht said, including Kodiak bears

Broadhead arrows, weighing l. 400 grains travel at speed of 300- foot-seconds, he explained. Bone offers little resistance to projectiles of that sort, which easily penetrate 2 inches of solid wood
 Art Young, who died of pneu- monia in Chicago some time ago, killed big game with bow in all parts of the world, including lions and elephants in Africa, and Ko- diak bears in Alaska when he wis, tied the Territory in 1926. Art ! Young, who was not related to w.. A. Young, and who is considered by the latter to be the worlds greatest game hunter with a bow" used a weapon with a 50-pound draw, and bodkin arrows with huge lance-like heads.
 w. A. Young killed his first game with bow, wild turkeys, wild pigs and snakes in Florida, when he was l6 years old. He wasted several arrows on alligatorS before he be- came convinced that he could not kill them, he said, because at that time he was not strong enough to draw bow sufficiently heavy to penetrate an alligator's hide.
 He has killed squirrels, rabbits and deer in California, and intends to hunt deer in Alaska next sea- son. He will perhaps kill a bear, he said, if he happens to encounter an exceptionally good specimen in prime condition, or if required to kill one in self-defense. He is not, however, a trophy hunter"
 On all hunting expeditions MT Young carries with him 45 cali Der automatic pistol for protection in case of emergency, but added that bear hunter equipped with a bow has an advantage over a hunter depending upon a firearm, from the standpoint of personal safety as bear, when struck by an ar row, usually gives undivided at- tention to the shaft, which smells strange and causes pain at every move of the animal, while a bullet wound seldom diverts a bears at tention from the hunter.
 MT. Young, who intends to de- velop farming land at Berner's Bay, which was homesteaded many years ago by his father, has accept. ed a position with the Alaska Ju- neau Gold Mining Company at , Salmon Creek.
