HomeSteaderS, Attention!

All homesteaders under the new
three year law should, the local
Forest officers say. be sure to
promptly notify the land office at
Phoenix of absences from their
claims during the winter. The
new law provides this require
ment and it is believed that in
most cases claimants are failing
to comply with this feature of
the law. This, it is pointed out,
may result in difficulty in making
final proof.

furtherance of the established
policy of devoting the larger por-
ton of the available funds to the
most important roads, in order
that the work done may be of a
more permanent nature and that
the greatest number of people
may be benefited. $4,000 has
been allotted to this road for
the year 1914 by the District For
ester.
The remarks Of President JOS
eph F. Smith at the recent con-
ference in regard to road i'm
provement, were certainly very
timely. We need better roads
and the only way to get them is
for everyone to help and cooper
ate. If farmers and property
owners would improve the roads
running through and past their
places, it would help wonder
fully.

APPROPRIATION FOR ROAD
WORK BY FOREST
SERVICE

The is now every indication
that an appropriation for road
work on the National Forests
will be available every year in
the future. The Act of Congress
making appropriations for the
| United States Department of Agri
culture for the fiscal year 1913,
provides that 10 per cent of all
moneys received by the Forest
Service shall be expended for
road Improvement on the Nation
al Forests under the direction of
the Department. This in addi-
tion to the 25 per cent which the
county has already received for
schools and roads.
The local officers of the Forest
Service have made the following
statement for the information of
the public regarding the work
done last season and the plans
for the coming year:
Holbrook- Pleasant Valley road.
The work on this project, on
account of limited funds and the
great length Of the road, was
confined to removing the loose
rocks and repairing washouts.
The only grading which could be
| done was across two or three
small flats which formerly became
| impossible in wet weather be-
cause of lack of drainage. AL
though only $500 was spent by
the Forest Service on this project
an equal amount was spent by
Navajo County and users Of the
sssaG agree that much good was
done.
Holbrook-Ft. Apache Roads.
Since this road is probably the
most important one in Navajo
County. the greater part of the
funds available, was expended
upon it. In furtherance of the
agreement with the Supervisors
of Navajo County, the work
done by the Forest Service was
confined to the southern portion
of the road. A crossing for light
traffic was made at Showlow Rang
er Station on ShowloW Creek the
loose rock was removed from the
road south of town of Showlow as
far as Ellsworth Hill, where a
new road was constructed on a
maximum grade of 6 per cent,
thereby eliminating a bad muddy
hill and an excessive grade. Co
ing on south from here a raised
grade 18 inches high and 16 feet
wide was thrown up for distance
of a mile and half across Scott
Flat which has always been ter
ror to freighters in winter, and
still further south toward the set
tlement of Lakeside general re-
pairs and change of location
from a muddy fiat to a low gray
ely ridge were made. In addi-
ton to this the much dreaded
Rocky Arroyo was bridged
with a twenty foot span and 16
other small bridges and culverts to
carry the drainage of small wash
es, were put in. The split log
drag was used with good results
on the new grades. In view of
the heavy freighting traffic over
this road to the army post at TT.
Apache, the problem of building
a road which will be satisfact-
ory at all seasons of the year is a
difficult one.
In addition to the above, con-
siderable improvement work was
done on the Snowfake-Pinedale
Road, in the way of removing
loose rock, Strengthening the road
in places, and cutting away the
trees and brush close to the road.
During the coming season the
road of the Sitgreaves National
Forest will be concentrated on

lures taken.
With this amendment the motion
was carried.
Mrs. Barnard, at the request of the
chairman, gave the definition of the
law as applied to crimes tried in
Judge Cooper's court. Mrs. Barnard
was little hazy about some Of the
terms incorporated in the law, but
each time she gave her own impress
sion of what they NIGHT mean,
which was accepted as gospel
Mrs. Holmes, the investigator, was
not present. She had 'phoned the
chairman that she was investigating
a "case," but was so tired and weary
and worn out that she would like to
come some other time. Also a wit
ness, who was to tell horrible story,
had not yet shown up.
Mrs. Kathryn Rutherford arose to
tell the ladies how judges were elect
ed and the political influence back of
them. She also explained why Tony
Wise, accused of taking a girl to a
saloon, buying her beer, and taking
her to room, had been acquitted.
1t was the political influence Wise
had with the late States Attorney
Wayman, and while Mrs. Rutherford
didn't want to speak evil of the dead,
she was of the opinion that the ex-
district attorney had died just in
time.
Somebody made a resolution in
viting Judge Cooper to come and de-
fend himself, which resolution was
moved upon and adopted, and then
Mrs. Viola Greene made another
resolution embodying the same thing.
Mrs. Greene's resolution follows:
81 move that a committee be ap-
pointed by the Women's Civic Coun-
Gil to draft a letter to Judge Cooper,
to meet with the approval of our en-
tire body, asking him to explain Ger
tain facts; why he fined these cases

and the ladies, unbiased, non-politi-
cal, and anxious to give Judge Cooper
a fair trial, turned the meeting into
a near riot when Mrs. Margaret
Bloomer ventured to speak in de-
fense of the judge.
Mrs. Bloomer, who is president of
the Illinois Young Women's Protec-
tive League, and has been connected
with it for over ten years., seemed
very much like kitten that has been
enticed into room with saucer of
milk, only to have the door slammed
on it's tail.
DR.. Lillian M. Thompson opened
the meeting, and then, fixing the ven
turesome male reporters, who were
elected from the last meeting, with
icy stare, she requested them to clear
out. And the women waited in stern
silence until Mrs. Roche had closed
the door on the last of them. o.
Mrs. H. A. Barnard read the min
utes of previous meetings, including
a resolution of gratitude to the splen-
did women of Illinois for their splen-
did fight in Springfield for rights to
suffrage, which never was adopted
at any previous meeting.
At this juncture a venturesome
male photographer tapped loudly for
admittance and without waiting to
be invited, stepped right in, though
Mrs. Roche tried to shut the door on
his feet.
''This man wants to take picture
for the newspapers" Mrs. Roche an
nounced. "Shall we put him out of
the room?"
81 move" Madame Chairman, that
we follow our rules and keep all men
out" said one of the ladies.
A motion was made to this effect
and seconded, and then Mrs. Minona
S. Jones pleaded that the poor man
should be banished for just a little
while, and called in later when all

Strike Looks Like One of The

NEARLY 1000 MEN GO OUT
Strike Comes at the End Of Six
Months Of Negotiations TO Adjust
Differences.

ductors. tralnmen and firemen quit
work at Z o'clock sharp tonight on
what is known as the Sunset Diyis-
ion of the Southern Pacific Railroad,
extending from here to FL Paso,
Texas. The strike promises TO be
one of the biggest in the history Of
American railroading.
The strike comes after more than
six months of futile negotiations
which sought an amicabe adjust
ment of difficulties between the com
pany and the men, largely concern
ing wages and hours.
An eleventh hour appeal to the
Federal Board of Mediation and Con
Citation by the railroad failed to
stop the walkout.
Telegraphic advices today from
every important point along the line
say that the men obeyed the strike
order almost without exception.
Aside from other features involved
the strike threatens to result in
enormous loss TO sugar and cotton
planters, although railroad officials
promise to use every effort to move
the crops, which must be handled
soon.
No effort was made TO run trains
out OF New Orleans tonight and
large number of travellers bound for
the West were left stranded in local
hotels. Both the Houston Express
and the Sunset Limited, the latter
the through train to Los Angeles
were annulled. a thousand strike
breakers are in the city. The twelve
local employees OF the rail
road quit their job at o'clock
sharp. The outlook here tonight is
serious.
