NAVAJO COUNTY
GETS BRIDGE

Contract let for Chevelon Creel
structure to be of steel and con
crete and will cost $4,000.
The Missouri Valley Bridge
and Iron Company has received
the contract for building stee
and concrete bridge over Cheve,
lon creek in Navajo county at
cost of $4,000, the Board of Con
troll approving of the application
of the Company yesterday. The
the bridge, which will span the
creek at the canyon, will be OF
one span 120 feet long of the
Warren truss type with a con-
crete floor, and will be built un-
der the supervision of State En-
gineer Cobb.
The citizens of Navajo county
have long desired the bridge con-
templated, and at one time a
contract was entered into be-
tween the State and County,
whereby the bridge was to have
been built. However, it was
never completed, so that at the
recent session of the state legis-
lature it was necessary to pass a
special act refunding to Navajo
county $1,000 that had hereto
fore been paid by the county to
the state, so that the county
could go ahead with the con-
struction of the BRIDGE.
Many objected to the particu-
lar form of refund, and a COM
promise was entered into be-
tween the adherents of both
sides, whereby the Board of
Control should approve the con-
tract and the bridge be built un-
der the supervision of the state
engineer. The delay in adver-
tising for bids from prospective
contractors, however. was caused
by the lack of state funds for
such purposes. With the income,
however, that is now coming in
to the state from the Corporation
Commission, and the fact that
the taxes will soon begin to ar
rive makes it possible that the
desires of Navajo county in this
regard can be fulfilled-Phoenix
Republican.

School Notes

Miss Grace Lucero, of the in
termediate room, left school this
week to go to her home.
Two more boys were enrolled
in the primary room Monday
morning, and one girl in the in
termediate.
Miss Lila Blevius, of the gram
mar room, left Thursday morn
ing with her parents for their
claim to be away several weeks.
Miss Treats neice, Helen She
han, who has been here the past
month attending the primary
room, returned to her home
Thursday. Little Helen has be-
come a general favorite during
her brief stay, and will be missed.
There have been more ab-
sences this month than last. The
children are not altogether to
blame in this matter, and it is
hoped that we may have from
the patrons more assistance. a
chiId's day in school is valued at
four dollars in results in his af-
ter life. IJnless his nresent
working value is more than that,
it is poor business policy to keep
him out.

We NEED RAILROADS
RAILROADS NEED US

The people of the State of Ar
iona need the railroads and the
railroads need the people, and
more people, is the expression
of George E. Sigh, United States
Commissioner at San Simon a
few days ago. Mr.. Sigh was
speaking of the bills that will
come before the voters of this
State on November 5th.
Il would decry, at this time, !"
he said, "any legislative act that
would in a measure retard or
cripple the railway development
of the new state of Arizona. The
man who is so short-sighted. as
to wish to handicap the railways
for personal gain, is doing the
country an injury as a whole. "
H. A. Morgan, President of
the Norton-Morgan Commercial
Company of Wilcox, in referring
to the same bills, gives it as his
opinion that these measures are
ill-advised. Asked for an ex-
preston of his views, Mr.. Nor
gan said:
'I believe that we should CO.
operate with the railroads and
encourage them at this time of
acquiring statehood, to branch
out and build and develop the
mining and agricultural interests
of our new state, which can only
be done by dealing literally with
them and not by adverse legis-
lation.''
The sentiment among thinking
people of Arizona is very strong
ly against these radical railway
measures: Many of the most
prominent men in the state
men who want to see Arizona in
the place it should be among the
states of the Union-are stead
fast, in their belief that the bills
should be voted down and Ari-
zona given the chance to grow
that is rightly hers.
eve seriously doubt that we
have reached such a stage in our
development as would justify
such a heavy reduction in the
revenue of the railroads, pro-
posed in the measures to be vo-
ted on at the coming election" "
is the opinion of the Stafford Hay
and Grain Company. 'The uni
versal demand is for railroad ex-
tension and construction, for i'm
provement of service, and any
measure tending to defeat such
demand, should be regarded with
disfavor.

ACADEMY CONCERTS
AT SNOWFLAKE

On friday evening OF Oct. 1S,
the Academy offered the first of
a series of concerts to be given
during the musical season of
1928. The fact that the aud
ience was more quiet than usual
for one of its size proves that all
present were highly interested
and we'll pleased with the vari-
GUS numbers. So much absorbed
were they that only a few found
time during the whole perform
ance to even speak to their near
est neighbors.
This northland of the Navajo
is certainly blessed with many
young people gifted with rare
talents, some of them destined
to be heard in much larger aud
fences if they will only persevere.
Who knows but that some sweet
flower (some rare, fair genius)
may yet spring from the obscure
sands of Sunny Az" and sur
pass and surprise the world with
desert airs" Even now may
be seen in the little town of
Snowflake Gods greatest gifts
to man, the corner stone to Home
Sweet Home. Who is there so
hardhearted and deaf that he
will not become gentle enough
to listen to the tender, sympa-
thetic tones of a little child. And
what is more mind-inspiring.
soul-uplifting, and heavenly beau
tiful than the voice that is sweet
and low coming from the pure,
graceful. heart-throbbing throat
of a lovely. bright. industrious,
skillful. gentle girl What boy
of the west is so woolly and wild
that he will not be tanned by the
Solemn, sober harmony of a male
quartet, such as Sometime
Wen Understand" Oft in my
childhood days have / stood stark
still to watch the throbbing
throat of a little yellow breasted
meadow lark as she sang with
all her might her morning song
and felt on my tiptoes that this
great globe is good enough for
me, and yet when l hear and see
what l sometimes do in sunny
Aiz feel all over that this old
earth is heaven enough for a fell
low like me.
Every number was beautifully
rendered, not a performer was
absent. no one was tardy, and
not a single excuse was made.
