HURT BY A HAMMER-Jabito Ba-
rajas, who is employed by the recla-
nation service as one of the rock men
engaged in blasting along the Arizona
canal where the eXcavator is at work,
had the misfortune yesterday TO lose
the first joint of one of his thumbs
He was holding a drill with his thumb
and forefinger near the top when his
thumb in some way was allowed to
stick up so high it was hit with the
hammer. Barajas was brought to
town at once and the injured mem
Der was amputated at the first joint.
MUTUALLY HElPFUl-The citi-
Zens of the Osborn school district, or
rather the trustees, very wisely con-
ceived the idea that inasmuch as they
have a schoolhOuse that is as fine a
structure as can be found in any
country district and better than the
average town school building, it
would be no disadvantage to the dis
trict to have a picture of the school
house placed on exhibition in the
board of trade Accordingly such a
picture was taken on a card about
2Ox24 inches, and tinted just enough
TO put natural life into il, well framed,
and presented to the board of trade
Secretary Harry Welch Immediately
conceived the idea that il would do
the board no harm to have a picture
Of such a fine country school dis
played where visitors could see what
sort of a back country Phoenix has,
and accepted the picture with mani
festations of appreciation. 1t will
henceforth be one of the show pictures
in the board room.
A PENNSYLVANIA SOcIETY-A
number of the Pennsylvania people
of this community have suggested TO
Secretary Harry Welch of the board
of trade, that Phoenix should have a
Pennsylvania state society. 1t is like
~ there are about as many people
here from that state as from any
other in the Union, perhaps more,
for it is a big state and a populous
one, but nobody has taken the initia-
tive toward forming an organization.
Mr.. Welch suggests that while he is
not a Pennsylvania he appreciates
the advantage to the community of
all the state societies, and if it is
desired he would be pleased to aid
ing a register at the board room
wherein all the Pennsylvanians could
come and inscribe their names. If a
goodly number respond they can then
call a meeting and proceed to organ
ize II will cost nothing to start the
register. All that is necessary is for
a few enthusiastic Pennsylvanians to
tell Mr. Welch to go ahead.
