THE MESA HIGH SCHOOL
 NEARING COMPLETION
Work Being Rapidly Pushed By Fore mar StoVer.

The Mesa new Union high school building is rapidly nearing completion. Electricians and plumbers have been busily engaged during the past week installing the electric appointments and doing the plumbing work.
 The outside of the building is faced with a white lime brick and immense cement pillars are to be placed the entire length of the front of the build ing at an approximate distance of s feet apart, these will support the base of the front cornice, and be as high as two stories.
 The interior which is to be divided into a basement, first and second stories. has been arranged with a view to facilitating the work of the stu dents.
 The building when finished will be both a credit to the members of the board to whom the responsibility has fallen and W. s. Stover who has su- perintended the construction work on the building since its beginning. The details Of the plans have been followed closely and to the letter. Everything which will give the construction added strength and durability has been in corporated.
 While there was considerable delay during the early part of the cOnstruc- ton due to the slowness Of the arrival of material. since this is on the ground the work has gone rapidly forward and unless some delay happens which is now unforeseen the building will be completed within or near the contract time.
 One of the new features of the in terior of the building will be the in dividual lockers which will be for the students. A large portion of these will be along the sides of the large hallway so as to present the appearance of panels.
 The lecture room is ample in size both for school work as well as for entertainments.
 The building will soon be ready for the windows and a large force of plas- terers will begin work on Tuesday next. The furniture has been secured

STOCKMEN PERTURBED
 IN COCONINO COUNTY
Notice Given Them That the Number Of Cattle in Forest Ranges Must Be Reduced.

Flagstaff, Arizona, Nov. 12.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- Forest Supervisor Frank c. w. Pooler today issued letter which will cause the stockmen of Coconino to feel con siderable uncertainty as to the future. More cattle have already been shipped out of COconino county during the last few months than for many years past, and the news that a further re- duction will be necessary is not very agreeable to the stockmen. The letter is as follows:
 "Coconino National Forest,
 Flagstaff, Arizona, Nov. II, 1908. ''StOckmen,.
 san Francisco Mountain Division.
 COconino.
 "Gentlemen:
 q am in receipt of instructions from the forester to the effect that from five to ten per cent reduction will be ef- fected for the coming season on all cattle and horse permits above three hundred head. Please make your plans accordingly, as outlined in my letter of November ,.
 The question of who will receive the smaller reduction and who the larger one will result, of course, on the size of the outfits and the importance of their grazing rights, the man having the better rights and the smaller outfit being subject to a less reduction than the man having the poorer rights and larger outfits.
 Very truly yours,
 TANK c. w. POOLER,
 Forest Supervisor.

Up till the time it became plain that

country-to do these things is more
than merely to be elected president.
E These are not the only achievements
OF Governor Folk. He has killed the

to enforce the Sunday closing an6

other antisaloon laws and has gone far
toward placing principle above policy
In the political creed Of Missouri. It is
impossible to measure the effect of
such life. 1t is perhaps more power
full In it's invisible results than in its
visible ones. 1t is leaven that leav-
ems the whole body polite. 1t is an
example that unconsciously to them
selves, shapes the thoughts and lives
Of all who behold It.
That this is literally true in the case
OF Folk is shown by the fact that, fol-
lowing his exposure of corruption In
st. Louis, similar crusades started in
Minneapolis, San Francisco and other
cities. The movement has only begun.
It will go on till it has cleansed every
city on the continent. The moral
awakening of this people comes slow

Private greed cannot always. win as

Sel6shness must some time give way

in this country. The issue is one Of
plain honesty. Sooner or later stealing
is going to become unpopular. Ameri.

Men Of the Folk stamp are giving it

Did His Duty.
Joseph Wingate Folk was born in
Tennessee in 1869, graduated from
Vanderbilt university. admitted to the
bar at the age of twenty-one and be-

Brownsville. Shortly afterward he
went to the big town of his section.

How He Fought Boedlers.
Folk won out because he was in
deadly earnest. He bluffed trust presi-
dents and bank presidents into giving
him the evidence he needed. Reading
that there was $4,000 in a certain de-
pository that members of the st. Louis
house of delegates were trying to get.
he placed two and two together and
concluded that certain suburban rail-

At the end of two days an ex-govern-
or of Missouri appeared for the rail-

client was sick. Folk was sorry, Of
course, but unbending. The upshot
was that the magnate and his yellow
dog both went before the grand jury
and confessed. Then. by magnificent
