Coming From
the Mountains

The large number in the canyons
of Mt. Graham, and who are now
returning greatly improved, proves
that the mountain is becoming a
very popular summer resort.

sides this there were scores of
people at other camps. Among
those who have returned from
Camp Inception is the family Of
Ranger Geo. II Birdno, also the

Camp Inception with her baby, at
that time a poor little skeleton,

Mail Fails for
Lack of Carrier

On Monday evening no mail ar.
rived on the regular. train from
Bowie and it was announced that
the reason was because there was
no mail carrier aboard the train.
This seems to be a most lame and
unusual reason for the failure to
supply a numbe of large com.
munities with their daily supply
of mail. 1t would seem to be per-
fectly proper to suggest to Uncle
Sam or whoever is to blame that
there are mail carriers in abund
ance TO be had and that when
several towns pay their just pro-
portion of the postal revenues, as
is done by Solomonville, Stafford,
Thatcher and Pima. as well as
Globe, it is the duty of the author.
tiles to see that the service does
not fail for such trivial reasons as
the one mentioned. This valley is
as much entitled to attention as
any other group Of towns in the
country. If the service fails for
any such reason again, it is prob
able that strong protest will be
filed with the postal department at
Washington
