A VITAL QUESTION.

Among the many important ques-
tions discussed at the recent meet
ing of the public educators of ANA
dor county, perhaps the most mo-
mentens topic was The home
more potent influence in character
building than the school While
few will be found to take the mega
tive of this proposition, still it is un-
questionably true that there is a
growing disposition to depend too
much upon the teachings of the
schoolroom in the formation of those
habits in the child which fashion the
character in after years. The school
is an important auxiliary to the
home, but it can never offset or
countecact the shortcomings of
home, much less take the place of
home training. The public school
system of this state is liberal beyond
compare. In no other part of the
world are the interests of the child
rem during the school period provid-
ed for by the government on so gen
erous scale as here. But it is a
fatal presumption to assume from
this that the responsibilities of the
parents may with safety be shifted
in the slightest degree to the tea
cher. That teacher may be a model
one, devoted to her calling, and
anxious for the welfare of her pro-
teges, but unless the influences
emanating from the home are of
the true stamp, the outcome in char
acter building is apt to be disap-
pointin Without undertaking the
Importance of the public schools, the
home is and must ever be the might
lest factor in shaping the destinies
the nation. AS far as character
building is concerned, the lessons
learned at home, impressed upon the
mind with a mothers love or sis
ter's affection, have an abiding infiu-
ence. These are remembered, when
the moral influences OF the school
room are lost in the schuff1e Of pass
ing years. A greater wrong can
not be inflicted upon the child, nor
a greater calamity befall a people,
than to rely upon the public instruc-
tor for the moral training than right
fully belongs to the home.
Aside from the deeper personal in
terest of the parent than of the tea
cher in the child's welfare, it may be
seriously questioned whether the
foundations of character are not laid
before the threshold of school life
is reached. 1t is in the years of
infancy that character molding is
done. Mistakes of training at this
critical period are difficult, if not
next to impossible, to correct in
after life. Home life under favor
able conditions can easily neutralize
injurious influences from the out
side. The lack of home training can
rarely be adequately compensated by
secular or religious training. The
school teacher can accomplish a great
deal, but must not be expected to do
all, or the major part, of the work of
character building.

The statement about reduction of

grasp what this means.
The statement about reduction of
wages is absolutely false. There has
been no reduction of wages here for
the past ten years. The tendency
has been the other way. For a
number of years competent miner
has had no difficulty in finding en-
ployment here. The ruling wages
are from $3.50 to So per day; the
lowest being 50 for inexperienced
men, which last rate is promptly
raised to $3.50 as soon as the worker
acquires little experience. The
relations of employer and employees
have been uninterruptedly pleasant
for the past thirty years. All things
considered, the lot of the miner in
this county will compare favorably
with his brother miner in any part
of the United States or of the world.
That outsiders, who have neither
part nor lot in the property inter
ests of the county, should seek to
stir up discord is not surprising.
They have nothing to lose in any
event, and perhaps per diem as
the reward of their work. But that
business men, who have financial in
terests involved, should aid in a
movement of this nature, which if
pressed to it's ultimate issue means
their own undoing, is indeed sur
prising.

 halt is reached
 Every few months for the past four years the forest reserve ques- ton has bobbed its head above the water and caused consternation among our county's citizens. Definite action of any sort would have been hailed with delight, while under the existing conditions the lives of many were lived only from day to day. The stockman only invested what was really necessary for the maintenance of his busi- ness; ranches were being neglected, improvement of every sort avoided, if possible, because of the uncer- tainty which existed in the very air.
 Word was received this week from k. $. Clark and J. k. Jones, who are at present in Washington as representatives of the county, to the effect that grazing of both sheep and cattle will be permitted on the reserve in the future as the president has declared his intention to interfere in our behalf.
 Last Monday President Roose- welt recommended to the secretary of the interior that sheep be allow ed on all reserves in Arizona. This | takes in the Grand Canyon reserve, which has heretofore been closed | Five-year permits will be granted | to sheepmen to graze their sheep on the reserves. There is so much work in the forestry that the five year permits may not be issued this year, but they will be next year. The sheep industry of this section is safe for some years yet.

especially for the purpose of fraud,
 but that is what seems to have
 been done. .S
 Several days ago the police were informed that a man at the Natick house was trying to secure stenographers. To those who ap- piled he told lurid tales of pros perity in Arizona, and offered posi- tions at from $50 to $1OO a month He asked nothing in advance, but stated that he was in a position to secure cheap transportation for those whom he engaged. If they would advance $15 he agreed to secure first-class transportation to the place in the territory where they were to be employed. From one or two women stenographers he got the money, but was later com pelled to return it.
 "So suspicious were his actions that two detectives called upon Barbour-that is the name he gave at the Natick House. He told them that he had been robbed of his baggage in San Francisco, and therefore could show no credentials. The officers gave him to understand that he would be watched, and if he was up to any dishonest scheme the town would be made too hot for him.
 Between 1 and 2 o'clock the fol- lowing morning he appeared at the hotel desk, paid his bill, and order ed his baggage sent to San Pedro same day. Since then he has not been seen.
 "Last night Henry P. Barbour ,alled on the chief of police and captain of detectives and requested hat every effort be made to appre- lend the man who is using his name. He declares that he will prosecute him under any charge which can possibly be brought"

The Sheep Will Remain
Action Taken in the Matter by President Roosevelt

The Washington Star, under date
 of Jan- ?, published the following:
 az s. Clark and J. F.. Jones ,citi-
 zens of COconino county, Arizona, had 8 talk with the president this morning about the proposed forest reserve in the San Francisco noun tains- Every other section in this region is owned by the government and the alternate sections by rail roads and private interests The government wants to secure the lands of railroad and private in- terests so as to create a large forest reserve. Attempts have been made for years to reach basis of settle ment, but this was not done until n few weeks ago The basis of set tlement now is for the government to exchange lands elsewhere for these, with prospects of success for the plan that has been evolved. Messrs. Clark and Jones are here to protest against the arrangement. The Atchison and Santa Fe road owns 975, 900 acres in the proposed forest reserve and the road pays taxes amounting to about $14 ,0O0 a year to Coconino county. If the government obtains these lands one Arizona county will be practically bankrupted, as the government pays no taxes on its lands. The citizens of the county are worried at the outlook and don't like the arrangement at all"
 While the final decision regard ing the settlement of the forest re- serve question has been allowed to | hang fire; while the sheep and 1 cattlemen did not know what the | next move would be; while the | question as to the disposition of the county's bonded indebtedness remains undecided, all have been wearing a questioning look and ex- pecting a fatal word

WILLIAMS, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JANUARY II, 1902
NOW STRENGTHENED OUT.
Henry p. Barbour After Nan Who Used
 His Name in Los Angeles.

It seems peculiar, but it's a fact that the Los Angeles Times never loses an opportunity, when it thinks it has one, to blacken the fair name of Arizona and her citizens.
 The first of this week the Times came out with a "scare head'' article on the fraudulent practices of an alleged mining man from Arizona who gave the name of Barbour, and did so without the slightest investigation of the case or a thought as to the damage that might accrue to the real Barbour from the publication of the article. That fraud was attempted there is little doubt, but even so, were it not better to investigate the matter thoroughly before casting the slightest shadow on the character of any man.
 When the Times containing the article was received here Mir. Bar bour was immediately telegraphed by Hon. Henry F. Ashurst, attor- ney for the company, and it was the first inkling he had that his name had been spread broadcast in connection with the scandal.
 In reply to a telegram sent him by the NEWS the following message was received:
 Los ANGELES, CAL. NEAL & DAwLEY,
 Williams, Arizona.
 Positive denial. See Times of the Sth. Matters progressing nicely.
 HENRY P. BARBOUR.
 Upon the arrival of the Times of the date referred to in the telegram it was plain to see that MT. Bar bour had lost no time in straight ening matters out, as is shown by the following article:
 "Henry P. Barbour, president of the Canyon Copper company, of Arizona, would like to find a man whom the detectives ran out of town a few days ago for practices, and who gave his name as Barbour. The officers are looking for that Barbour also, and if captured he will be prose cuted for obtaining money by false pretenses.
 "The real Barbour is a guest at Hotel Angelus. He is here to com plete the organization of his com pany, in which are interested some ,f the best-known financiers of Los Angeles, Arizona and the east. He s a pioneer in Grand Canyon mining and is well known in Arizona He carries good letters rom the leading banks and promi- lent citizens, and naturally objects l O any other man using his name, |,
