Shame On Nogales!

Under the heading "Shame On Nogales," Phoenix
new newspaper, the Arizona Times carried tn
following in it's initial number:
"Nogales, long regarded as one of the most en-
terprising cities in the state, just muffed op-
portunity to acquire beautiful hospital free of
charge. All that was needed was a sponsor.
by contrast, Prescott citizens plan to take
over schoolhouse float $4,000 bond issue and
with additional aid from citizens, replace the
Mercy hospital which burned some months ago.
'Wirt G. Bowman philanthropist political
patriarch and Nogales No. citizen has with
drawn the offer of his palatial home on Crawford
street, Nogales, for public hospital
1.-TWO or three months ago made the offer to
donate the place and since little interest has been
shown by the public am withdrawing it" Mr.
Bowman told the Nogales International, which
adds: "Three local women very kindly took up
the matter of Transforming the home into hos
pital but did not get any cooperation from the
public. Therefore, the offer no longer stands"

roadway that motorists show ade-
quate courtesy to riders. Such in
formation would be well placed
when applicants for driving license
are being tested for their qaulifica-
tons and instructed in road laws
in Arizona. If these practices were
followed we would become famous
throughout the nation as state
where "caballeros" and their ladies
and families could find a horse
mans paradise.
AS a parting thought, please
don't forget that an echo from Ari-
zona's early days still rings through
the court rooms of our state. Cat
tie and horses have undisputed
right-ofway on any and all of our
highways!

Phoenix New Tabloid

1T it not often that any exchange received at our
desk each week appeals to us so much that we care
to take the time to read it from cover to cover.
Phoenix new paper, "Arizona Times" Of which
Kel M Fox is publisher and T. w. B. Anderson ed-
tor, was exception
We read every word in the initial edition Of that
very interesting new weekly paper and We'll read ev-
cry word in all future issues if each is par with
the introductory nUl11ber.
"Arizona Times" is AriZonas only tabloid and the
makeup throughout is very attractive and different
from any other Arizona paper. It is very similar to
a New York tabloid.
The Introductory number made history in Arizona
It was the first newspaper ever produced in Arl-
iona by photo-ithography Briefly this process diff
fers from the method of producing other Arizona
newspapers in that every page is photographed and
printed direct from page plates without stereotyp-
ing.
Many of the largest picture magazines use this pro-
cess It enables the use of more pictures at lower
COST
Composition was done by the Trade Composition
Company photo-lithography by the Phoenix-Arizona
Engraving and Lithographing Company.
These concerns united their facilities to produce
this innovation in the Arizona publication field
they were all elected by the Democratic party and
are solennly pledged to carry out the party platform
pledges.
He won't let them forget it, either.
This is most annoying to some Of the members VINO
accepted the Democratic platform with tongues IN
their cheeks.-( ARIZONA Fax

DO YOU LIKE HORSES? If so,
whether you, personally, ride or not
j feel certain you will heartily
second the following thoughts.
Perhaps in these days of four
and six lane concrete boulevards,
streamline trains and stratosphere
aeroplanes, VIC are inclined to for
set Yesterdays methods of travel.
The first whiteman's trails into
Arizona and the entire Southwest
were, in majority, made by horses
mounted by explorers, missionaries,
soldiers, cattlemen and settlers. The
l4fore-runner Of today's fast, smooth
boulevards was the deep-rutted,
torturouS roads marked out by
prairie schooners, wagons and bug
gies. Briefly then-to the horse
goes much of the honor and credit
for his aid in pioneering this coun-
try
Today we find the horse still plays
an important role in our states eco
nC:nic life. He is, literally, the
livestock mans right hand. He still
plays an important role in our agri-
cultural sections. In addition to
the native Arizonan horse lover and
fancier, horseback riding in "West-
ern style" has become, without
question, the principle sport Of
both summer and winter visitors.
One Of the biggest industries in the
state today is that of guest ranch
ing. Take the horse away from q
dude ranch and what do you have?
Anyone can cite you cases in all
sections of this state where visitors
have returned to a certain section,
guest ranch or resort because they
had made friends with some Of the
horses there. Dozens of ranches
have been sold to Fasteners be-
cause they wanted a place to breed
horses.
Chapters could be written about
the Importance of equine life in
this state today. However, I wish
to emphaSize one particular point.
AS Arizonans, as Westerners, or,
perhaps more simply, just as gen
tlemen and CentlewCnen, we should
show respect when driving on the
highway to those on horseback. We
should always slow down when ap-
preaching horseback riders. Give
plenty clearance on the road or, if
necessary. stop until they have
passed. When mounted party is
riding a trail by the side of the
road, it is a detestable and danger
Gus practice to zoom by and see
how close you can come to the
horses legs. If the horse is in
clined TO be SIXTY or "spooky'
he might jump into the pathway or
side of your car causing a most
serious accident. It would be a
very good thing if various commu-
mites would post signs along the

Party Platform Snag

As never before, number of members of the state
legislature going to be on the spot in the Fiji
teenth First of their grefs is the Democratic plat
form which they for office and which they pro-
missed to support during the campaign
Heretofore, the party platform has been something
to be conveniently forgotten or ignored by many
members after the campaign is over and they are
safely elected
This time, the publc-or at least important Sec
tons of the pubcis not going to allow the solons to
forget either the platform their campaign pledges

unpleasant habit Of reminding the legislators that

/ From Ellison's gray face the color

take the cake, Terry" he said, re-
strained anger riding in his voice.
First you are with the small fry.
Then you throw them over and join
US. Now when we have a fight on
our hands you are deserting us to

Terry felt the rage boiling up in
him. You're too bull-headed, Eli
son, and too smooth in your work.
We were supposed to be allies, and
you double-crossed me by ordering
these men drygulched. Do you think
you are God Almighty, with the pow
er of life and death in your hands?"
'I suppose you'll fix yourself up
with your new-old friends by warn

ness in his voice.

mond Reverse B restrained himself
with difficulty. 81 ought not to take

Ellison picked up his wide Stet-
son and walked out of the room.
Calhoun Terry stood at his desk,
salient jaw clamped tight. What FL
lson had said was true. He had
either to warn the rustlers or let
the drive go on. There was no mid
die ground. In any case he was
now a man without party.

CHAPTER XIX

John Q. Powers descended from
the train at Round Top and was met
by Calhoun Terry. The two men
walked to the Holden House, where
the ranch foreman had taken rooms.
Powers was a heavy-set, middle
aged man of a precise habit of
mind. He wore square-toed shoes,
a double-breasted coat, and a silk
hat. His home was in Philadelphia,
and he had never before been far
ther west than Chicago. The Pow
ers family had bought for them
selves and some business associates
the Diamond Reverse B ranch at a
time when capital was being poured
into the cattle industry. So far it
had been a good investment. There
had been bonanza years when the
ranch had returned more than 80 per
cent on the original cost. But those
boom days were past. The profits
had dwindled, and the books showed
for two years balance in the red.
A letter from the foreman had
brought him out here in person.
A shrewd investor, John @. was
moving to the opinion that it might
be time to sell out.
AS they walked to the hotel, Pow
ers noticed that Terry did not ex-
change greetings with the men he
met. The glances that fell on the
Philadelphian were merely curious,
but when they shifted to the fore
man they held unconcealed hostility.
There was a tensity in the atmos-
phere that JOHN @. did not like. His

How can we be dragged into it,
if we refuse to be a party?"
Because this country is in two
camps. Everybody in this town is
for the small fry against the big
ranches. The rustlers and nesters
and most of the little cattlemen are
pooled against us. the honest men
and the thieves alike. The Diamond

fits. If we say we are out of this
fight nobody will believe US. Wen
suffer just the same. The only way
to be out of it is to let it be known
we are going out of business, to
