Arrested for Trapping
in National Park

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK,
Jan. 22.-The way of the transgres-
sor is hard. On January l6, Henry
j. Potter, Essex, Mont, was arrested
as he proceeded up Park Creek in
Glacier National Park with a pack
sack laden with traps, elk meat and
staples. District Ranger Hugh Bu-
chanan waded upstream two and a
half miles in icy water looking for
signs indicating the presence of the
poacher. In the meantime Potter
had proceeded over an elk trail
trusting to snow and elk to OBJ
hterate his course. The elk trail
eventually crossed Park Creek
where District Ranger Buchanan
picked up Potter's tracks and soon
overlook him.
Potter was brought before u. S.
Commissioner VIM. H. Lindsay at
Park Headquarters on January IL
where he pleaded guilty to a charge
OF trapping within Glacier National
Park. He was fined $4,000 and
sentenced to 80 days in the Flathead
county Jail.

Mahoney Promises Cooperation
County Commissioner James Ma
honey reported that the county
commissioners, as well as members
OF the Commercial Club and citi-
zens, are very interested in the
completion of highways No. Q and

would most certainly appreciate the
support of the club on these mat
tiers and could expect the support of
the commissioners in return.
Sustained yield was the topic dis
cussed by Carlton Joughin. He told
of the recent congressional meeting
in Portland and said he believed the
, idea had the support of the men,
bers of that board. He urged all
citizens to contact Senator Wheeler
urging him to bring the matter to
| the attention of congress at this
session. Mr.. Klehm also urged that
these letters be written.

ceived a letter from J. Edgar Hoo
yer, and a quotation may be of
interest to readers. The letter
from the Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation reads as
follows:
Il have just had an opportunity
to read your remarks which ap-
peared in the Congressional Rec
ord for August 6, $40, and I want
to express my deep appreciation
for your commendatory state
ments concerning the work of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"The confidence which you have
displayed in the FBI is indeed a
source of real qualification, and |
want to assure you that we VIII
continue to carry on our activities
in a manner which | hope will
merit your approval"
The remarks to which reference
Is made were in connection with
the "Wire-Tapping" bill which
passed the House August 6, and
wherein | expressed great con
fidence in the effectivne6s and
justice of the FBI.

vail that this effort to take care
of foreign children would probably
arouse our proper efforts toward
our own needy children. Families
who take care of these refugee
children VII be financially obli-
gated as if they were adopting
children.
On August the Senate passed
a bill to empower the President to
use the National Guard for ''hemi-
sphere defense" Probably this
measure will be the next import
ant one before the House. The
Senate bill makes some concess-
ions to married men and others
permitting resignation within a
stated period.
Numerous messages have reach

suggestion of General Pershing
that we dispose of fifty unneeded
destroyers to GA eat Britain at
once, as they have not been used

England. Such legislation has not

Your Congressman
Bv JOHN r. MURDOCH

BY JOHN X. M UhDOCh
The so-called Mercy Ship" mea-
sure passed the House on August
7. | voted for 1t in its final form.
The fear of the opposition that
some "untoward incident" might
involve us in war was real con-
sideration, but the desire to save
the lives Of thousands of children
outweighed that slight possibility.
I feel that this humanitarian step
is sufficiently safeguarded for our
protection in that our ships may
not enter the war zones excepting
at the discretion of our Secretary
of State, and then only after safe
conduct" has been granted by all
the belligerents. It's a risk we
have to take. such risk as is in
volved, in order to be merciful to
children in great danger, just as
the same risk is involved in
furnishing food and Red Cross sup
pies to the peoples of any of the
warning nations.
Another point considered was
the propriety and justice of caring
for foreign children when so many
of our own children are neglected.
However, the view seemed to pre-

Arizona State Fair

Fair. Pushed around, kicked
around and sat on for eight years,
the Arizona State Fair is once
more going to take its place along
side of the other great Agricul-
tural Expositions of the Nation.
The Arizona State Fair Commits
sion composed of William A.
Thompson, Phoenix, chairman;
Writ G. Bowman. Nogales; R c.
Locke, Tucson; Harry L. Mace and
Chet Johns. Phoenix, announce
that financial arrangements have
been completed which will make
possible the opening of the Fair
on November 9th to run for nine
days.
The Legislature appropriated
funds for the resumption of the
Fair but the Courts held the ap-
preparation illegal.
Financial support from t b e
State was then solicited by the
Fair Commission to no avail. De
termined that Arizona was going
to have a Fair this year, Thomp
son and Johns, Commission Mem
bers. took on themselves the task
of raising the twenty-thousand dol
lars necessary for the Premium
Fund-and secured the money.
It has been decided that this
year entry in the various depart,
ments of the Fair will be restrict,
ed to Arizona Residents. which
will assure the fact that the entire
twenty thousand dollars in pre-
MUM money will stay in Arizona
Another very radical change in
operation is the setting up of a
no pass policy and the ruling In
cludes everyone from the Governor
down
One of the finest groups of De-
partment superintendent in the
history of the Fair has been ap'
pointed TO head up the various
Divisions. The list follows:

agencies located here are the
United States Indian Service, the
Security Farms and the Migratory
Camp all of which could possibly
find it quite convenient to es-
tablish quarters in a Federal Build
ina in addition to the Postal
Service: then too. the local Post
office is serving Florence, Ray,
Kelvin. Superior, Hayden, Hayden
Junction. Winkleman, and Christ
mas as headquarters for a Star
Mail Route. which requires con-
siderable space to handle the
mail. The vicinity of Coolidge has
been a constant demand for more
space each year Only recently
large addition was added to the
local postoffice which provided
space to handle the heavy mail
services. which included an addi-
ton of $50 postoffice boxes. In
less than thirty days all of the $50
boxes installed were rented with
the exception of 20 which were too
small to satisfy the demand.
1t has been conceded on the
part of service officials in posi-
ton to relieve the local situation
that a Federal Building is badly
needed here, but to date the ex-
cuse has been that there are no
funds set up for such projects anu
until such can be done, there Is
no prospects of establishing new
building at this time. Surely this
argument has proved groundless
in the Lindsay News release above
quoted. and what is fair for one
part of the country should be fair
for another. hence we claim that
Coolidge have equal consideration
il not prior consideration over the
Lindsay News Release above
quoted. Coolidge lies between
Phoenix and Tucson on the main
line of the Southern Pacific, which
is at the crossroads of a vast agrl-
cultural country. whereas, Lindsay
is located 80 miles east Of Chick
asha. Oklahoma, and about hair
way between Chickasha and Pauis
Valley. Oklahoma, on stub line
of Rock Island Rail road out OF
Chickasha. and a branch line OF
Santa Fe out of Pauls Valley.
We have no bone to pick with
Lindsay. Oklahoma, in their secur-
ing a Federal Building and we
are glad that they are getting one
but when Coolidge is forced year
after year to put up with cramped
quarters and no space for persons
to obtain lbow-room in the trans
action of their postoffice business,
especially in the fall when the
pre-holiday rushes it is time that
Uncle Sam became throughly ac-
quainted with our problem at
hand. This means a lot Of hard
work on the part of the local peo-
pie in bringing pressure to bear
upon our representatives in Con-
gress as well as the postal depart
ment. In an agricultural district
such as ours there is no doubt as
to the future progress, of the town
of Coolidge as it can not become
a ghost town as happens some
times In mining communities;
therefore. there is no excuse on
the part of Federal bureaus to
adapt a policy of wait and see
what the development may be, be-
fore activity providing adequate
facilities such as this community
is demanding of the local post Of
flee.

We miss your kind and willing hand
Your sweet and loving care;
We miss you, oh dear mother

To think you could not say goodbye
Before you closed your eyes.
For all of US you did your best
May God grant you eternal rest.
