8 THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING-, JANUARY 21, 1911. SEEKING KNOWLEDGE WOOL GROWERS AND FOREST SUPERVISORS They Are Holding a Two-Day Conference in the Commercial Hotel. MONSTER REAL ESTATE DEAL IS PENDING Option Is Taken on 200 Acres South of Phoenix at $120,000. That Brings Health, Happiness and Long Life The wonderful story told by thousands upon thousands of men and women in all walks of life who have been benefited by the use of the great tonic stimulant, Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, is most interesting and the three old men whom you see reading this story show by their vigor and pleased expression the. greatgood it has done them.

The Duffy Malt Whiskey Rochester, N. Y. INVESTIGATION BY A PAVING EXPERT ENGINEER OF RIVERSIDE ARRIVES IN PHOENIX. Will Assist Committee in Preparing Report to City Council. An investigation of the actual condition of Phoenix streets and the difficulties that must be overcome in paving them in a modern way was begun yesterday morning ly A.

I. Campbell, city engineer of Riverside. California. Engineer Campbell arrived in the city eurly yesterday morning, having been detailed by Mayor Evans of Riverside to assist the Phoenix paving committee in preparing its report to the council. lie has been in the employ of Riverside twelve years and there are few men better posted on the subject of jmving.

When he accepted his present position Riverside had no paved streets to speak of. Now it has one. of the most magnificent pavement systems in the world, most of it constructed under the general supervision of Mr. Campbell. Ilis knowledge of the subject, therefore, is not only theoretical but practical.

He knows the value of the different kinds of paving muterlul and the best methods of laying them under various conditions. His investigation in Phoenix is to decide what kind of material is preferable under the conditions thut here with regard to sub-soil, grades and other matters that bear upon the situation. Promptly upon his arrival Mr. Campbell was taken in charge by Dwlglit B. Heard, Roy S.

Goodricli and Charles Stauffer. members of the paving committee that went to Riverside, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Redlands and El Paso to investigate pavements in those cities. AVhile in Riverside they met Mr. Campbell. Mayor Evans anil other municipal officers, who made their stay a pleasant one and did all in their 'power to furnish them with the information they required.

Councilman Eugene Hackett also spent a large part of yesterday with Mr. Campbell. The engineer was taken over the entire city in an automobile but, of course, in one day could make only a cursory examination Last evening he was not ready to make any statement whatever, nor is it likely tl.it ti-lll to timko iinv I report until his work is entirely com pleted. The investigation win require several days. Mnvor Evans and.

in fact, all the Riverside officials, evince the friendli est feeling for Phoenix. When lie received the request that he lend Phoenix one of ills paving experts for a few days he replied in a manner that showed his deep, sincere pleasure at being able to assist this city in any way. Later on lie will visit Phoenix to deliver a lecture upon paving, which he lias made a special study, for many vears. Hhls lecture is illustrated by stcroptioon slides, which he has had manufactured at his own expense. These slides reproduce views.

of paved streets and roads in various parts of California. IT WAS ONLY A RUNAWAY NOT EMBEZZLEMENT So Says Santa Cruz, Charged With Getting Away With a Horse. At tile end of a series of disasters for which he was himself responsible. Juan Santa Cruz yesterday found himself in jail, charged with the embezzlement of a horse from the Bur-ger corral, lie was arraigned before Justice oJhnstonc and will be given a hearing today. The probabilities appeiir to be that Santa Cruz hud no intention of embezzlement.

Anyhow, lie says that the fact that the horse lias not been returned to the ownur is the fault of the horse itself. On Thursday ho applied at the corral for a horse. He hail one of his own which he drove to the corral and explained that he was on his way to Tempe to ace his girl. His horse was a rather dilapidated animal, not the kind one would want to display before a future wife; lie wanted something classy. A fine looking gray horse was brought out that met the approval of Santa Cruz.

Leaving his own horse in the corral, he hitched the gray to his buggy and started away, saying lie would return in the evening. Rut he did not come back, and yesterday morning a warrant was sworn out for his arrest The document was put into the hinds of Deputy Sheriff Adams, who returned to the office and suv a constable from Tempe, who told him that Santa Cruz had spent the night in the Tempe calaboose, but had come over to Phoenix on the train. The deputy sheriff found him standing at the corner of First avenue and Washington street and took him into custody. He looked as if he had been manhandled by a cyclone, but he said it was only a runaway that had affected him. He was taken to the sheriffs office, where lie related a hirr -twins story of his adventure.

Hi. went to Tcnine as he said lie 'would, but before calling upon his girl he foitificd lilmscit wun a orum or two. While he was in the saloon he formed the acquaintance of a couple or Americans from Bisbee. who said they were on their way to Phoenix. Santa Cruz told them that he would return in the evening and he would be glad to take them back with him.

Then there were a few more rounds of drinks. The new company Sant' Cruz had found wns so congenial that he did not call upon his girl at all. He could visit her any time, but lie did not know when he would nee his Bisbee acquaintances again and he determined to make the most of the occasion. Then there were a few more rounds of drinks. Along toward night preparations for the return journey were begun and they started.

The horse had become restless and started on a run down the hill leading to the river. The buggy seat was loose and a sudden jar shook it from tin buggy and the occupants rolled the rest of the way down the hill. They got up time to see a streak in which they recognized tin dim outlines of a horse and buggy crossing the river. Santa Cruz says that is alt he knows about the horse, and so far as the corral owner knows that is as much as anybody else knows. Santa Cruz and his friends went back to Tempe.

whore a few more rounds or drinks made the marshal take cognizance or the presence of Sunt a Cruz, who spent the night in jail. Up to the present time somewhat successful attempts have liecn made to measure the distances of about 3C0 fixed stars, but many of the determinations are of doubtful accuracy.

Novelty Chinese Act Radcllffe Belmont Wizards of the Rifle NEXT WEEK Glark and Turner, Dunlevey and Williams and Martini and Jefferson MATINEE TODAY AT 2:30 3,000 Feet New Pi.pt urea A convention of wool growers met in the Commercial hotel yesterday, sprnt the day in deliberation and will meet again today for the further consideration or matters before them. It was not a convention of any association of wool growers though probably most or all of them belong to the Arizona wool growers association, but it was a meeting or the flock owners by appointment, with the supervisors of the Coconino, Tusyan and Prescott forest reserves, for tile annual allottmcnt of grazing privileges on range lands by the supervisors to the sheep men. Only those having business with the Tusyan and Coconino reserves were concerned in yesterday's meeting, but that means most of them, and only those having business with the Prescott reserve will be concerned in today's meeting, but that also means most of them. The Prescott reserve is a winter range and the others are summer ranges and most of the riock owners use them all more or less, at some season. The Prescott reserve allott-ments have been made previously but there are some questions of ik)1-icy and restrictions which It is desirable to discuss.

Willard It. Drake, with headquarters at Flagstaff, is supervisor of the Coconino forest and E. H. Crabb with headquarters at Williams, is supervisor of the Tusyan forest, both these gentlemen being here yesterday. John McNulty, deputy supervisor of the Prescott reserve will meet with the wool growers to-dav.

About twenty-five sheep men were present at yesterday's conferences and at tout firtecn more are expected to be present today. Not only are the sheep men meeting with the supervisors as individuals protecting their individual interests but a semi official character is given the meeting by the appearance of the advisory boards for each forest, appointed by the Wool Growers association. The association appoints a board for each forest. These boards confer with the supervisors at proper times, concerning the regulations of the forestry department and the policies mutually agreed upon as best for all interests. Each year the ranges in each ior-est are allotted to this or that wool grower who complies with the restrictions made by the government, under the approval of the supervisors.

Each flock master therefore knows just what liis territory is and makes his plans accordingly. He can keep on his own preserves and has protection against those who seek to invade his rights. It is at the annual allottmcnt also that the question of who shall have the ranges is settled, and that is sometimes a troublesome one In such cases as the northern Arizona forests where the range demand is greater than tho supply. The ranges have in previous years all been allotted and there are now several new applicants for ranges in addition to the older flockmasters. It Is understood that only one applicant has thus far complied with ail the regulations and presented arguments that move the supervisors to serious consideration, for they cannot lease any more land than they have and they cannot well take a range from a rioclj.

owner unless he has failed in ills obligations or is holding more than he legitimately needs': and unless those who have allotments are holding too large a range, added flocks would work a hardship if not a detriment and loss to tlieiu. It is therefore hard for a man to break into tlie sheen business on the reserves now except by buying out someone already engaged in it. The Tusyan forest is one with which the people in these parts are perhaps not familiar. It is a part of the old Grand Canyon rorest that was segregated into a reserve by itself.

(t WILL OPEN SHOW ROOM FOR THE FORD AUTOS California parlies have secured an option on 200 acres of land, lying less. than a quarter or a mile south nC the city limits and on both sides or Central avenue. This land belongs to Joseph Cope and Kred Tait. It is understood that the. Callfornlans are planning to subdivide the tract and place It on the market in the form of city lots.

Six hundred dollars an acre, or $120,000 for the entire tract, is the price mentioned in the option. The prospective purchasers are Los Angeles capitalists who believe that fortunes arc to be made by persons wise enough to buy property in the Salt River Valley. In their opinion, the land bound to rise In value most rapidly is that lying adjacent to the city of Phoenix. They recently spent several days In this "vicinity, thoroughly canvassed the situation, and finally took an op tion on the Cope-Tail property, nicy then returned to mis Angeles to raise the neeeVsarv money. It is understood that there is no doubt they will take up their option provided tlie necessary financial arrangements can be made on the coast.

Seventy acres or the tract lies east or Central avenue and 130 acres west. Cope and Tait own 40 acres more In that vicinity which is not involved in the proposed deal. All their land is in alfalfa. Should the deal go through it will be one of the largest ever closed In the Salt River Valley. It will also mean the bringing of $120,000 of coast capital to this section.

FAIRBANK COMPANY CHICAGO John Mulhatton. who is fast coming to be recognized as the Monte Christo of America is in the city again after a hasty trip to Pinal county and back in company with a number of gentlemen who he says represent many millions of dollars.

Mr. Mulhatton is himself one of the richest men in America, having mining properties in Pinal county of greater value than anything owned by Phelps, Dodge Co. or the Guggenhcims. The only dltrerence is that these gentlemen have done more development work and can run a bigger blurt over the bank cashier, whole Mr. Muihatton's wealth is still safcl in the ground, where moth nor rust do not corrupt, nor thieves break through and steal.

The rew millions iwned by Guggenheim and the Phelps-Dodge I company are all so easily negotiable they may lose them some day, but Joe Is in a position to dery anybody to steal his wealth. In fact he would regard it as a Joke if some one would drive a few shafts and tunnels on his property in the hope or getting at the coin. He would be willing to stand in with any prowler who had such designs and would give him just a little bit the best of it. Of the ultimate result there could be no doubt. There is money enough in his claims for a whole gang of rubber heeled millionaires, for Joe says so and surely no one else has a better riglit to know.

Mr. Mulhatton says it makes him laugh when he reads in the p'yiers of tlie short sightedness of men who are reputed to be clever in financial mat- ters. "Take for instance the Alaska land cases. A lot of millionaires went up into that country it is alleged and froze their toes filing on mineral land reputed to be valuable, tread on the government's corns in doing so and now find themselves with a pretty fight on hand If those same fellows had come to Kelvin they could have got my property for part of their Alaskan outlay, had no trouble with the government about it and could liave had a palace car myself by tris time, with a storage tank of fiz water and a uniformed lackey to turn the spigot. It Is the shortsightedness of even clever men that make them all their trouble." Mr.

Mulhatton is pretty well known throughout the country as a humorist. He says that since Josh Billings. Bill Nye, Eli Perkins. Mark Twain and most everybody else of Importance in the humorous world has been run in by the undertaker, ins own crown rests a great deal more securely on his head than it used to. He says that one of the funniest things he has ever noticed is the way people regard what he says as humorous, no matter how seriously lie talks, as tor Instance, when he tries to tell people about the immense value or his mines.

He insists that it is no joke and he stands ready to prove everything he says. If any man will go and sink a thousand-foot shaft on his property and docs not find it to be ROYAl SSllllBl SIP POWDER Absolute! Pure Tho only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar HQ ALUM.N0 LIME PHOSPHATE the rithest thing in the Kelvin district. Joe will be willing tto admit that the joke Is on him and treat the crowd. Joe says there is humor in everything in this world if one only seeks to find it. "For Instance," he said.

"I can tell your fortune, stick out your hand." Then he proceeded to figure out the life lines and scratch tho dirt out of others, after which he delivered himself as follows, the reporter boing a married man: see by this that you will live to be a very old man. You have a good brain but you don't know how to use it to advantage. You will live in turmoil and eventually your wife will leave you. if she has the good sense these other lines credit her with. Yon will evade the poor house but you may fol into lull "That will be plenty for one reading." said the scribe as he withdrew his potato hook, when Joe responded: "Don't take offense Tor that you know is only the humorous side or Then he said he would go out and buy a box of cigars and come back.

That was another joke. He was like Jim Jeffrie. LOOKED GOOD. Woggs So you got stung In that mining company? You should have known better. Boggs How could It looked-like a real thing, no fake earmarks about it.
