Sale Of Truck
Lines Is Made

Purchase of the Peoples Freight
Lines, Inc, by the Pacific Motor
Trucking company, a subsidiary Of
the Southern Pacific Lines, was an
nounced recently by L. B. YOUNG,
vice-pres dent of the purcha sing
company says, the Tucson Star.
The transaction was authorized
few days ago by the interstate
commerce commission, pursuant to
hearings at Phoenix last April
Merger Demanded
Under the ruling of the commits
sion, the purchasers will be re-
quired to merge the two concerns
as expediously as possible, Young
said.
By the purchase, the trucking
service provided by the Southern
Pacific in California, Oregon and
Nevada is extended to Arizona, the
Peoples Freight Lines having op-
perated almost parallel to the
Southern Pacific Lines in Arizona
except for Bisbee and Douglas.
The Peoples Freight Lines op-
Grated about 40 trucks in Arizona
and these, Young said, will be con-
tinued in service. BY their estab-
lishment as a supplement to the
railroad lines, considerably better
service will be provided Arizona
patrons. Service to outlying points
that of times was possible no more
than two or three days a week will
be increased to a daily schedule,
he said.
Speed Provided
At all points, service will be
speeded up "a hours to three days
and morning deliveries will be
made. The trucking service also
will handle much Of the less-than-
carload-lot business of the railroad.
Officers of the Pacific Motor
company are c. ]. Mcdonald, presi-
dent; Young R. G. Hillebrand, Sec
retary; C. NJ Scott, treasurer; F.
L. McCaffery auditor, all with Of
fices in San Francisco.
C. Z. Richardson, of Tucson, IS
assistant auditor; Miss Madge M.
Munde, of Tucson, assistant treas
urer, and Alexander B. Baker, of
Tucson, assistant secretary. M. F.
Shaw, of Tucson and Los Angeles,
will be district manager, and ]. E.
Skofstad, of Tucson, will be super
intendent here.
Tom B. Vinson, former owner of
Peoples Freight Linces, Inc, has
agreed to remain temporarily with
the company as special assistant to
the president, Young said.

INTRODUCING THE HASSAYAM-
PA TO ANOTHER EASTERNER

You can swim the Susquehanna
In a very pleasant mama;
And sail the Mississippi's broad ex-
panse.
But you cross the Hassayampa
In stroll or in a scampa-
You can sit in it and never wet
your pants.
The rivers chiefest glory
Is an oft repeated story
That drinking of it makes person
lie.
But goodness, me! And gracious!
He is bound to be veracious
If the river bed eternally is dry.
The cottonwoods and canyons
(They are little ones, not gran
yonsO
Make scenes that have beauty Of
its sort
1t is fun to go out striding
And to do your hoseback riding
On this fifty miles of Natures
tennis court.
Yes, you've seen some rivers dampa
Than the famous Hassayampa-
You may even think a river should
be wet.
While it really seems there ough-
ter
Be a little bit of woughter,
In Arizona that's an item you for
get.

THE LOW DOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

1t seems like we just naturally
crave to be bamboozled. You go
any place, like at circus or fair
where some nimble stranger has 3
shells and one pea, and there is a
crowd around him. And we bet
the gentleman, we know which
shell the pea is under-and we go
home without our shirt.
But if feller you know, and
have seen before, if he has bank,
and he asks folks to put their
money there for safe keeping and
interest, it is not exciting enough.
And a person with some common
sense idea about business, he don't
get to first base with his ideas. He
don't even get up to bat. He is an
old fogey, and we don't want him
around.
But if some duck comes along
with something cracked, but new,
and he says, boys, have here what
the country needs, we give him 3
cheers. And the gent pulls out
vial-and a new elixir-that will
cure everything. Sounds great.
So he shakes up his bottle and
anoints US, and 10 behold-just the
same old medicine-and we mosey
home agin, half naked.
Yours, with the lown down,
10 SIERRA.

Local Artists
Picture Selected

After highly competitive rush
to present their best pictures for
approval, Portland artists and
their teachers subsidized when final
selections were made this week by
the San Francisco Art Association
for their 58th annual exhibit. Our
own Thelma Johnson Street en-
erged successful, where so many
failed, when the committee chose
one of her works, "Displeased La
dy," to hang in the San Francisco
Art Museum during the exhibit
from March % to May 2.
The selection, made from three
she sent for approval, especially
pleased Mrs. Street because, as she
explained it, "Displeased Lady" is
one of her most recent pieces and
the fact that the committee chose
this particular piece indicates that
the young artist is steadily ad-
vancing. The subject was Negro
woman and was done in oils.
Mrs. Street left Friday for San
Francisco to be on hand Tuesday
when awards will be made, and to
attend the reception honoring the
artists. While in the bay region,
the Portland artist will be guest

Clubs Play Is
Huge Success

Elizabeth Garden and Mary
Francis Williams starred Friday
evening when the Mysterious Num-
bers Club presented their first dra-
matte attempt, Murdered Alive, u
mystery comedy, at Bethel Am
e. Church.
The action was built around the
alleged sudden death of a rich man
and the reading of his will to his
avaricious relatives.
Mrs. Garden, cast as one of the
fortune seeking kin, a society mat
ron, Mrs. Libby Ryder, was haugh-
ty and fawning by turns as she
caught at every chance to empha-
size her social position or to grasp
at a chance for material gain. Her
last scene made it necessary for
her to appear in curriers' and gen.
erous swipes of cold cream, and la
Garden carried off her part with
the aplomb of a Carole Lombard
cast similarly. 1t was a difficult
thing for a woman to do and still
be attractive, but la Garden did it.
Mrs. Williams was excellent as
Stella Backus, a vinegar-tongued
wife who sooner or later made ev-
eryone feel her presence. Her acid
remarks were often directed at her
erstwhile husband, that laugh-get-
ter, Lee Grigsby, who was the only
professional appearing with the a.
mateurs.
Rose "Proverb" Stevens caused
much merriment as she lugubrious-
ly quoted scripture at every breath
she took.
In the supporting cast were Ru-
by Wright, George Miller, Rather
inc Franklin, Emma Walker, Rob-
ert Price, Erwin Flowers, Lee An
derson and Ethel Jackson.
Technician for Murdered Alive
was Duke Jackson. Mr.. Charles
Olden was play director. Mrs. Eth
ell Jackson is president of Myster-
ious Numbers whose ranks are
made up of young married woman
of Bethel.
