NAVAJO COUNTY
GETS BRIDGE
ContractLet for Chevelon CYeslz
Structure; to be of Steel and
Concrete and VIII Cost
$4SOO

The Missouri Valley Bridge
and Iron Company has received
the contract tor building steel
and concrete bridge over Cheve-
lon Creek in Navajo County a.
cost of $4, 800, the Board OF
Control approving OF the appi
cation of the company yester-
day. The bridge, which will span
the creek at the canyon, will be
of one span 12O feet long of the
Warren truss type with a con
crete floor. and will be built uh-
der the supervision of State En-
gineer Cobb.
The citizens of Navajo County
have long desired the brigde 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 nev-
er completed, so that at the re
cent session of the state legisla-
ture it was necessary to pass a
special act refundlng to Navajo
County $4,000 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 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 adveft1s
ing for bids from prospective
contractors, however, was caus
ed by the lack of state funds for
such purposes. With the income,
however, that is now coming in
to the state from the Corpora
ton Commission, and the fact
that the taxes will soon begin
to arrive makes it possible that
the desires of Navajo County in
this regard can be fulfilled

was presented to the Freight
Departments of the Santa Fe

important changes. However,
before the matter is disposed OF

COAL CLAIMANTS
AWARDED PATENT

der of President Taft, dated Sep
tember 2, al persons who made
entries in the Navajo county coal
fields will now be granted pat
ents.
This announcement affects the
celebrated coal fields OF southern
Navajo county, which were filed
upon three years ago by Prescott
locators. since which time the
elimination of the strip acquired
has been under consideration
After patiently awaiting official
action since that time title has
at last been acquired. The fol
lowing residents of Prescott, ac-
cordingly, receive absolute title
to 16O acres each OF coal lands,
which have been appraised by
government engineers at from
$500 to $1,000 per acre: George

vey Blain, w. L Fox, E. And
rews, II. F. Ashurst, George M.
Hubbell, Henry Rockmark.
This new coal field is situated
about sixty miles south OF Hol-
brook, ano before filed upon by
the above locators, was thor
oughly investigated with deter
nina tions that attracted very
much attention in the existence
of coal beds that were OF astoun
ding proportions. Government
engineers since that time have
made limited explorations and
reported tavofably. Coincident
J, with official notification being,
received at Washington of the
filings made by the above clt)-
zens, an order was made with
drawing from entry any add
tional Goa, lands in that section,
from which act1 On the desirable
itv of the land for coal mining
purposes was instantly recog
nized.
The closing up of this import
ant transaction and the exist
ence of coal field that has at
tracted very much attention since
il reached official channels, is
one of the most interesting that
has ever taken place in mining
annals of the country, SO far as
the original discovery is to be
considered. AS long ago as 1885
George Merwin passed through
that country while evadlng a
band of Apdches on the warpath
and was being driven to the
west, or toward Bakers Butte.
Camping for the night in a ra-
vine with a companion, he motto
ed the popularity of the big dyke
hanging overhead. when with
miners inclination he made an
investigation Of the formation,
which startled him in showing
an immense coal condition to be
in evidence. His observations
extended to other points also,
but was limited as to time owing
to the pefilous situation in which
he was placed. Returning to
Prescott he Withheld Information
of the discovery for several years
or until the country was made
secure from attack by the In
dians. Every year for decade
thereafter, he importuned inves-
tors to go into the field and in
vestigate, but his efforts proved
fruitless until the above resi-.
dents OF this city took the mat
ter up and the locations were
made as indicated. In recent
months travellers through the

Sold to whom? Why, to farmers, of course.
 That's just where my indignation be- gins to get the better of me. haven't any words of exculpation for the man. ufacturers of these frauds. They ought to be pilloried before the eyes of all the farmers who are asked to buy their stuff. That's just what is done in this report of the New York Experiment Station, The name of the manufactur- CT and his claims as to his feed are printed side by side with the facts about the feed, as microscope and an- alysis determined them.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-07

Yet though this information it free to every farmer of New York state,- is sent to him every season, without a cent of cost or the lifting of his finger, if he will only give the station his post office address, so 1t can know where to send the facts,-in spite of this, enough of these fake feeds are sold every year ot the farmers of the state to make 1t worth the while of the manufacturers to continue their shameful compromising of screenings and oat hulls and cob meal and weed seeds.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-07

Please don't think, dear reader, that Pm slambanging away at you. l hope and believe that you're different sort of critter. But it is perfectly clear from the facts that there are a good many farmers who need to be slam banged till they are pounded into a sense of their opportunities and their duties.

The manufacturer can't compel any

The manufacturer can't compel any farmer to buy his sophisticated mix lures. It takes two to make a bar gain. The shearer can't shear sheep unless there's a sheep ready to be shorn. The farmers of, New York state, and those of other states, too,-keep right on buying comparatively poor feeds at comparatively high prices, paying the adulterating mixers fancy profits for weed seeds and salt, throw ing their hard-earned pennies away for automobile e-running fakers to buy rubber tires and gasoline with,- WHY?
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-07

Another thing that seems to me perfectly clear is that no farmer or imitation farmer has any moral or other right to call on the government to do anything more for farmers till he uses fairly and reasonably the infor- nation and the knowledge which the government is already shoveling at him by the mailbag full.
 It doesn't lie in the mouth of any man who is too shiftless or too heed less to help himself, to find fault Je- cause others don't help him more.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-07
As hay. said. there is no exou

As have said, there is no excuIpa- ticn for the greedy manufacturers But what about the man who, with knowledge fairly flung at his head of the wastefulness of his purchase, still keeps on stolidly buying the stuff,- actually giving away his own possible profits to swell the grab bags of the faking factories?
 Is there any excuse for him? We can all forgive the one who sins in ignorance. But how about the man who makes a fool of himself in plain daylight? Here's what the micro- scope showed one feed was made of: <: "Oat hulls corn, barley weed seeds partly ground" Another feed was guaranteed to contain 50 per cent of crude fiber: it actually contained less than seven per cent Another was guaranteed to contain 18 per cent of protein: it actually contained some thing over 14 per cent. And so on and on. Nevertheless enough farm CTS were buying these comparatively poor feeds at comparatively high prices to make it profitable to mix them up and put them on the market. Buying them when all they had to do was to open the pamphlet which the government was eager to send them for nothing and find out just how much they were being swindled.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-07
Other men have examined these aI-

Other men have examined these al : legged feeds and reported exactly what's in them: other men have printed this information and are willing and eager to send it to every farmer of the state who will do so little as let them know where he gets his mail: other men have made it possible for every farm CT in the state to protect himself for all time against feed adulterators- yet thousands and thousands keep on buying the cheap stuff at extravagant prices. Again 1 ask, WHY?
