MOTORCYCLE FIRE
 PATROL FOR CANYON

A new departure in fire patrol work has been undertaken by the local forest service officials, in the appointment of motorcycle fire patrolman> for the Grand Canyon national forest. This forest has excellent roads, and a motorcycle, once it's rider had located fire, would be able to make good time to the nearest fire station or tele- phone and summon aid for its fighting.
 Regulations prohibit the use of automobiles and motorcycles along the Rim road of the forest, but an exception will be made in the case of the service patrolman. He will be required. however, to have the muffler on his machine closed all the time, that the exhaust may not frighten tourists horses, and will 
 also be required to travel at very moderate speed.
 Owing to the fact that there are no good lookout points available some sort of extra careful patro has to be devised for this forest and the motorcycle is to be experi mented with, with view to using it exclusively there.
 Paul Dieckmafln of this city ha been appointed as the first motor cycle patrolman for the forest. H will take up his duties at an earl, date, the fire season having alread.. commenced.-Albuquerque Journa

Communicated

The boys went to Flag Sunday to play that town clean game of the national sport and carried out their intentions, but that is more than l can say for the Flagstaff team. The game went along very nice until the first half of the eighth inning, but, Williams having five scores oyer their opponents, things chang ed. Williams, with two men on bases, two men out and one of our heavy batters (Mr. Montano) at bat, with two strikes and three balls, was called out on a purely plain ball, the umpire calling it a strike, it being fully foot above his head. And then the grandstand spectators proceeded to the diamond in order to make things unpleasant for our boys.
 The ninth inning started and things seemed to break very bad for our pitcher, as he had not walked man before this inning; but I am sorry to say what were called strikes in the early part of the game were now called balls, so he was compelled to walk two men on balls. Realizing the situation he decided to let them hit the ball and try the fielders' luck, so the next man got safe to first on hit. There being three men on bases the neX man up hits the ball fully foo and one-half off the third base lint and it landed about ten feet outsid, the foul flag line. But after tn umpire called it a foul he was ad vised by a Flagstaff player, wh was coaching on or near first base that it was fair ball, and change' his decision, claiming it fair ball I guess that was playing the ma tional game.
 am not a kicker, but I will sa that the boys of Flag will agre with me that it was rank deal i the worst stage.

THEY CAN'T FOOL
 THEM THE SECOND TIME

Let the knockers knock, but when they want good road just come from Ashfork to Williams and then to the Canyon. James John son, James Kennedy and H. c. Lockett, who were with the Stude- baker cars from Phoenix to the Canyon, left the others at Ashfork and came over to Williams, mak- ing the run in one hour. At Ash fork they were told they could not get over the road, but these gentle men could not be induced to cut good town like Williams out. They are very enthusiastic in their praise of the condition of the road from Ashfork to Williams, claiming it to be the best they found since leaving Phoenix. The other cars left Ashfork for the Canyon over the other route, where there is no water or habitation for over sew enty miles. The road following the railroad and telephone line to the Canyon far exceeds anything in northern Arizona, and those parties who are so busy writing articles to the Los Examiner and the Prescott Journal Miner, claiming the rough,
 barren road from Ashfork to the
 Canyon is the only route, should
 be arrested for making false state
 ments. It is certainly the limit or
 their part, and it will and should prove boomerang to them. The returning tourists may have some thing to say when they get bacl from the desert run.

J. s. creegan Leaves Williams

J. s. Creegan, who has been in charge of the Postal Telegraph com pany's relay office in Williams since its removal here from Ash fork five years ago, left last Friday evening for Albuquerque, to take charge of the office there. MT. Creegan, by his gentlemanly and accommodating ways and business ability, made the Postal office here second to none in the big system, and he will be greatly missed by the business men ot Williams. However, they one and all wish him success in his new field of labor.
 From the Albuquerque morning Journal we take the following:
 "J. s. Creegan, the new manager of the local office of the Postal Tel
 egraph company, arrived yesterday
 morning on No. 10 from Williams,
 and took over his duties at once. A
 large part of his time yesterday wal
 necessarily spent in chatting witt old friends who encroached on busi
 ness hours, even though it was thu first of the month, to go to the Pos
 tai office and congratulate MT Creegan on again being made man ager of the local office.
 MT. Creegan was manager her seven years ago, and returned at hi own request, after holding impor l tant positions in Los Angeles an g Williams.
 l Assistant Superintendent R. H t Hawkins, who has been here fc e some time past, will leave this morr t ing for Denver, accompanying St t perintendent w. c. Black, who wi e arrive from the south today and g e east on No. 10."

Party of Purity and Reform

Grand Canyon, June 3, 1912. z To the Democratic Central Com
 mittee:
 According to the newspapers there has recently been held a Dem- ocratic primary election, probably by authority of law. l have been a reader of papers several different ones-and number of other demo- crats here can read, but we failed to see any notice of such election in advance of its being held.
 Now the democrats of this, Grand Canyon precinct, would like little information as to why the proper notice was not given and provision made for asserting their rights ir the party always advocating reform and purity in politics?
 We are fully aware of being on reservation and fenced in, but don believe that to be legal cause fol disfranchisement.

Home Trade Versus

Mail Order Houses "Catch" Gus

Their CatalOes.

The advertisements in a news
paper if the merchant means what
he says are very very valuable
part of the paper to its readers.
Through them the people learn
where they can secure bargains
and thus save themselves money.
For this reason the merchant who
has bargains to offer and who al
ways does by his customers just
as he advertises that he will do,
is the man whose lads" are read
with interest, and who is sought
when the readers wish to buy.
The prosperous merchant, when
he has bargains to offer, advertis-
es the fact to the people because
he wishes them to come and see
him; and then he does just as he
advertised to do. People are al.
ways looking for bargains.

The government of the United
States has now established post
al savings banks in nearly ali
parts of the country. The people
are invited to deposit their saw
ings in these government savings
banks with assurance that while
the interest paid is small, the
money is perfectly safe. This is
true. No one investing in a pos
tai savings bank need fear that
he will lose his money unless the
government itself goes to smash,
which it is to be hoped is hardly
a remote possibility. But in the
investment of the money the gov
eminent Is tied up. 1t is limited
in loans to the banks. While the

Pasture Year Round

There is no one thing that will
do more to add to the food pro-
duction of the world than a silo.
This il will do through the con-
servation of what is now practi-
cally waste material. 1t has long
been known that only about sixty
per cent of the feed value of the
corn field is to be found in the
ears, and that this sixty per cent
is practically all that has been
saved or utilized under present
methods.
The value of corn stalks as
they are now handled, though
they really contain 40 per cent OF
the feed value of the plant, is
practically nothing as compared
with what they would be if made
into silage and fed as a whole
some succulent feed, says the
KanEas Farmer.
By means of a silo, $50 cattle
can be wintered on a 50-acre corn
field. Corn will produce from
nine to ten tons of silage per acre,
/ and an animal will eat about 80
pounds per day. One acre Of
fair corn will thus winter three
animals, or, if the silage is used
during the dry summer months,
as could be done very proftably,
one acre of corn will support per-
haps two animals throughout the
year, with the use of such pas
ture as may be available.
Pasture has been thought to be
the most valuable part of the
farm, but, with the use of the ST.
10, it is found to be one OF the
least valuable parts. Land put
into corn or Kaffir for silage will
produce much more than pasture,
and will be practically a sure
crop, as corn can be made into
silage, even though it does not
produce a satisfactory crop OF
ears.
By using the silo. yard feeding
methods of beef production car
be practiced the year around, and
results can be sure, because con-
ditions are under absolute con-
troll. Risk of burned-out pasture
in summer and of poor, weather.
beaten fodder in winter, is entire
ly eliminated, and the cattle al
ways have a feed on which they
will do as we'll as on June grass.
A silo is cheaper than pasture,
and more lasting.

William Yule as
Bob Acres"

Comedy will reign supreme at Culbert-
son in Tanners Opera Hall, Tomorrow
night. April 9th. When The Rivals
will be presented by Mr.. William Yule and
his talented company. This comedy has
stood the test of a century and is today
more brilliant and full of human nature
than any play of its kind.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan wrote The
Rivals" in I774. 1t was subjected to posi-
lively gruelling criticism but emerged un-
scaihed hearing the approbative recon-
mendations of the heartless censors who
hourished most numerously during the
eighteenth century. Even the harshest
critics were compelled to recognize the
wonderful beauty in The Rivals literary
construction because it is undeniable that
the comedy includes brilliancy of wit and
a story of heart interest which has seldom
been equalled.
The late Joseph Jefferson considered
The Rivals" his greatest comedy. He
loved his part Of Bob Acres as he loved
his childrea.
