100000 SHEEP
MOVING NORTH

PHOENIX, April 2-CUP) - A
caravan of 100000 sheep-largest
number pastured in the Salt River
valley in several years-started in
to the desert foothills this week,
according to Jerrie w. Lee, secre-
tary Of the Arizona Wool Growers
association.
Within a month, Lee said. the
flocks will start their 200-mile trek
to summer pastures in northern
Arizona. More irrigated pasture
was used by the sheep owners last
winter than in many years, because
of drought conditions in the foot
hills last fall, he reported" This
is all changed now. Recent rains
have made the best spring browse in
many seasons and the sheep are as
sured of plenty of water on their
march north
He said shearing was more than
half finished.

Record OF Accomplishments OF
Bettwy Dwindles Down To One

The record of accomplishments of the Bettwy city
administration appeared in an advertisement In
the local daily paper Wednesday does not speak the
volumes for the present administration as 1t appears
to.
The property that has gone into the city park was
purchased after long argument with the Bettwy ad-
ministration and was acquired at rdiculous y low
price.
The two DAMS one Of which has been completed,
are responsible for their existence both to mater-
ais and labor to WPA. .e@s y ~ "~s s>,
The larger or Smugglers Canyon dam, could have
been completed weeks ago if the city administration
had not seen fit to discharge the engineer who In
the midst of drawing the plans and whose services
were necessary before approval for this dam could be
had by the State Water Conservation Committee The
materials for this dam purchased through the
Governors Relief Fund by others than the city ad-
ministration or it's employees.
The widening of the Tucson road is the direct re-
suit not of the Mayors activities but the efforts of
another organization.
Property easements on North Morley avenue, which
project is now under construction obtained aft
er long and arduous attempt in which another
ganization led in the fight.
The darkened streets of Nogales would have been
lighted several weeks ago had the mayor used the
Governors fund with which the materials were pur
chased wisely and judciously
Hence the various projects for which the mavor
claims credit in getting for Nogales, DWINDLE
DOWN TO ONE viz, the Civic Center Building
which building is being constructed both to labor
and materials with federal government money, with
the exception of a few bricks which came out of a
building the mayor purchased at ridiculously low
price and even these bricks cost the federal govern
nent hundreds of dollars in labor for cleaning before
they could be used in this building. 1T APPEARS
THAT THE CIVIC CENTER BUILDING WILL BE
COMPLETED BY 1850 = 13 years from - long
after Nogales has forgotten it had mayor named
Bettwy.

Elect A Business Man Mayor

There will be the proper kind of cooperation and
Nogales will forge ahead if c. c. Cheshire becomes
Mayor Of Nogaes
It will not be the policy Of Mayor Cheshire to an
WPA and other federal projects in this city.
The Cheshire regime will also cooperate with the
county governing board, the Chamber of Commerce,
and the public in general
A vote for Cheshire is vote for good government
and an end to the two long years Of inefficient
"clown" government.
Put real business man at the head Of your city by
eecting Cheshire mayor! A man who has made sue
cess of his own business will make success of the
