Whiteriver Notes

Frank Nickolaus, a stage driver from Showlow to Fort Apache, Arizona, has made perhaps the greatest number of miles as stage driver of any man in Arizona. Mir. Nickolaus has been on the old blackboard for 27 years and during that time has lost not quite 2 years. He has made seven trips a week, 45 miles each trip, and 365 days each year. In one year this will give him 16, 425 miles. and in 9 years 40, 625 miles, or more than 16 times around the world. If there is another mail driver in Arizona or in the U. s. who can beat this record we would like to hear from him.s

Shoot-off, 10 birds: Hulet g, Rencher 2.
 Referee: Cox; Scorer: Hen ming.
 The little Gun Club may we'll be complimented upon it's pro- nounced success this season financially as we'll as otherwise. Through the earnest efforts of a few of it's members they have not only built up a live little club and introduced one of the most popular sports in America, but, according to the Secretary's re- port, they have given away cash and other prizes aggregating nearly $100.00-and this after having bought and paid for an expensive outfit as well as meet ing with unforeseen losses re- presenting a considerable sum of money. This looks to us a very commendable showing for so small a club in it's first year.

The 1912 Handicap
 Won by Jesse Hulet

Had the Weather Man been a little more merciful Sunday, the annual shoot of the Holbrook Gun Club would have been a de- cided success in every way. A high wind made shooting ex- tremely difficult and at times great clouds of dust made it nearly impossible for the re- fierce to ascertain whether the birds were dead" or lost" :" Nevertheless the race was a close one, Hulet and Rencher tying for first, with Scorse and Smith a close second; Hulet won in the shoot-off, and was awarded tn Annual Gold Medal and Rencher the Annual Bronze Medal.

Geographical Society
 Will Visit Arizona

The American Geographical society accompanied by scientists and savants from nearly every country of Europe will visit this section of the state in the near future.
 The train leaves New York City early in September, and for a solid month traces a line of erudition about the places of in- terest in the United States. Stops are scheduled at all places of natural and industrial fame. Arizona will present stupenduous examples of both. The Grand Canyon is the very biggest piece of scenery in the world, and the Roosevelt dam if not the biggest pile of stone accumulated by hu- man hands, is one of the most valuable to the race.
 Accommodations of the excur- sion train will be of the best. A baggage car will carry the duff1e, a diner will provide for the com fort of the inner man. for even high browed professors of L. L. D., M. D., etc., must eat. Four sleepers will contain berths for ninety men, but it is thought there will not be more than seventy or eighty members on board at one time. Not all the American members will make all the trip. some joining for a few hundred miles, here and there, and similar depletions in the ranks occurring now and then. The observation car will enable thirty to watch the pass ing landscape.
 w. M. Davis, member of the. American Geographic society is appointed director of the excur- sion. His assistant will be w. L. G. Joerg. Mark Jefferson, R. E. Dodge and 1. Bowman are marshals, The annals of the journey will be compiled and kept by A. P. Brigham. Dr. Frank s. Churchill of New York city will care for the sick. N. M. Finneman is the journalist, and Lawrence Martin, editor of the Daily Bulletin, a unique little publication to be issued every day from the private press on the train. There are various other officials of more of less inn portance and dignity. They all have their duties outlined, and when working together, promise a great time for the members and their distinguished guests. [
 The excursion penetrates the Great Southwest at Raton, New Mexico. On Monday. September 30. their arrive at Santa Fe. From that interesting old place they are scheduled for several local excursions among the ruined pueblos and cave dwellings. Next day they take in the Petrifed Forest. That same night they arrive at Fl Tovar, the Grand Canyon. A day will be devoted to searching out the gigantic crack, then a day to rest.
 The train arrives in Phoenix at 8:30 in the morning of October 4, and the party leaves immediately by auto for Roosevelt.

X PARADES.--RACES---WON

G. Valentine, when informed Tonight
that President Tart had upheld Secre-
tary Fishers action in revoking the
order Of Mr.. Valentine barring reli-
sious garb or insignia from govern
men1 Indian schools In a statement
the former commissioner said:
1.-The schools to which my religious
garb order applied are not private
schools. They are public schools
Nothing should b allowed In them
which would not be allowed in any
public school in the country.
This principle the President ana
Secretary Of the Interior now uphold
in their order. They say that on this
ground they will forbid the extern
sion of the practice Of wearing reli-
gious garb in public schools.
In the next breath they say they
will permit those hfty-one teachers
who now wear garb in Indian public
schools to continue the practice.
mo religious question 10 or should
be involved in this matter. I issued
my order without referring 1t to my
superiors, because was within my
rights in doing 50. and because I
wished to save my superiors from any
possible political embarrassment oy
keeping the decision Of the question
in an impoIitical administration bureau
of the government.
Ny conduct Of the Indian Bureau
included full recognition Of the as
sistance Of the Catholic Church and
OF all the other religious denomina-
ttons on Indian reservations, and
expect and have every reason to be-
lieve that Catholics will Join with all
American citizens in support Of an adj
Of the Indian Bureau
which endeavored to fulnll its legal
obligations to all the people"
