A WARNING TO
PREVENT FOREST FIRES

Inspite of the abundance of
snow and rain which has fallen
very generally throughout the
mountains of Arizona and New
Mexico during the winter and
early spring, a number of fires
have already occurred on the Ma
tional Forests. Several small
fires have been reported from the
Coconino National Forests in Ar
zona and one has occurred on the
Mt. Taylor division of the Zuni.
The largest fire thus far reported
is one which recently burned over
about 200 acres in the Sandia
mountains on the Manzana Ma
tional forest. A fire which was
discovered on the Alamo forest
at 5 p. m. on April 19, was fought
from early that evening until
$3.50 D. m. on April 20 before it
was finally extinguished. This
fire was located by especial look
out man located at a lookout tow
er from which he telephoned the
news of the fire to the local rang
er. Reports indicate that most
of the fires thus far have been
caused by carelessness on the
part of campers or other users of
the forests. The large freaan

w. A. Grassland of Washing
ton, DC. "a government engineer,
was in town last week. enroute
to St. Johns to attends a meeting

The ladies of the St. Martha's
Guild had very delightful
picnic on Wednesday, when they
went out to Mrs. Zuck's Ranch
to spend the dav. Some of the
ladies were taken out in Mr..
Henning's automobile. while
others were driven out in rigs.
Everything imaginable that is
good to eat graced the dinner
table, and was heartily enjoyed
by the picnicers. Then some of
the ladies went on an exploration
trip among the rocks, finding
some very interesting hierogly-
phics, and also discovering a
very large cave, but none of the
had quite the courage
to enter the cave, and 1t was
then that the usual male escort
was missed. But they all took
a peek into the big black hole,
and decided that a look was suf-
ticient. After a day that was
thoroughly enjoyed by every one
present. the ladies returned to
HolOrook. and they all said that
this day will be one never to be
forgotten, and Mrs. Zuck' s
hospitality in inviting the Guild
and giving them such a good
time was certainly appreciated.

Banquet For Husbands

The ladies of the Knockers
Lodge entertained their husbands
on the evening of May the fif-
teenth, at a delightful banquet.
The banquet was spread in the
office of Mr., w. B. Woods, and
the fine surroundings added
greatly to the pleasure of the
evening.
The only decorations consisted
of an art gallery, which attract
ed great deal of attention, and
created a good deal of argument.
The burning issue of the
evening was, WHO'S WHO?"
When the men had solved this
momentous question to their
satisfaction? they took their
places at the festaI board be-
side the lady of their choice. A
great many of them proved the
truth of the old saw that Its a
wise man that knows his own
wife"
The long table groaned beneath
a weight of delicious eatables.
The ladies did themselves proud
in all lines of cookery. and the
only complaint heard during the
evening was that of a lack room
in which to store away more
good things.
After the banquet table was
deserted the evening was spent
in story telling and friendly con-
yersation. Several of the men
required the services of ''The
Official Fool Kicker. and we
wish to commend that officer
and her assistant for the energy
and thoroughness with which
they performed their duties,
despite the opposition and frantic
of their victims.
The full name of the Lodge is
''The Hammer and Anvil Lodge
of the Amalgamated order of
Knockers. The Past Mistress
of the Crouch informs us that
she and her First Assistant
Groucher have great plans for
the future of the lodge and hope
that many may qualify for mem
bership by being knockers of
ability.

Why Not?

OF yesterday, the manufacture OF
wooden goods of the coarser sort
could be carried on mere with un-
questioned profit, We can dupli-
cate with wool what has been
done in the southern states with
cotton. Take as example the city
of Columbia. S. C. Twenty years
ago it had about the same number
Of people as it had before the war
1t had no factories of any sort.
Cotton was grown in the vicinity
and shipped to the New England
States for manufacture. The city
of Columbia now has seven cot
ton factories, three cotton oil mills
two fertilizer factories, cotton
congresses, foundries and ma
chine shops bringing with them
a population almost three times
as large as that of two decades
ago. Besides the factories are
paying and the people are becom-
ing rich. The story of Columbia
is insignificant compared with the
growth of Charlotte, N. c., and
less than one growth of more
than a dozen other cities in the
south since the cotton factories
were moved near the fields where
the cotton grows.
Practically all that we consume
is shipped to US on the railroads.
All that we ship from here con-
sists of wool, hides, cattle and
lumber products. The wages and
salaries paid here are sent else
where for supplies. journal.
Now, why should Holbrook not
have woolen factory such as
the Journal advocates? Have
you ever thought of the feasibil-
ity of establishing such a factory
here? There is no better location
in all the southwest for such an
enterprise than right here in Hol-
brook, the very center of the
industry and the
point fer millions of
pounds of wool annually. Think
What the money paid the railroad
in freight rates alone,
each wool shipping season, would
mean to this town if it was ap-
piled on a payroll here. Such a
factory would mean the keeping
in circulation at home the vast
sums of money which now goes
to the eastern markets. 1t would
mean that our prosperous
little town would grow into a city

RESOUCES OF NAVAJO
COUNTY ARIZONA

You should not worry about
where your next meal ticket is
coming from, if you come to Ma
vajo County, Arizona, and locate;
your ticket will come to you with
out any worry and less than half
the expense, labor, time and trou-
be than anywhere else in the
world. We have the land; all we
wlnt is farmers who will deliver
the goods. You must not think
that, because we are not selling
uncultivated or (''wild land" as
s)me prefer to call it, at from
$l00 to 5000 per acre, our soil is
not good. Our land is as good as
any in the Santa Fe Southwest.
a I'd larger profits are made from
three cuts of alfalfa here, than
from five and six cuts in the sec
ons where the higher prices are
charged for land, Here one may
take up a homestead, or desert
llnd claim, and his expense will
be about as follows:
Good cedar fence posts about
twenty-five cents each; wire close
t. $4 per cwt; staples. SIS per cwt;
digging post holes (about two and
one half-feet), So per 100.
Fence posts usually are set
about twenty feet apart. with two
wire stays woven in between the
posts, using either the four or
five wire fence, Most of our land
my be grubhed and cleared for
from So to $5 per acre. Water is
f ,und from twelve feet down,
every few feet striking a new
Strata, sufficient to supply wind
mills or engines. This water is
g ,od for all household uses, as
well as for stock and irrigation.
Since these Improvements are
put on land for which the settler
pays from $100 to 5000 per acre,
why not put them on some of our
homestead or desert lands. Just
the minute the settler does it, he
has as good high priced land as
the other fellow wants to sell you,
and there is some difference in
your bank account on the right
side. That our soil is productive
goes without saying. Our lands
have been farmed for more than
thirty-five years throughout the
valley. This is not new and un-
tried country, and settlers run no
risk. We have the pay dirt and
the market; it is up to the settler
to raise enough stuff to supply
his needs.
During the last year there has
been close to 10000 acres of land
entered in this county, and set
tiers keep coming. Why, when |
we get a man located here, and
he gets to looking out over the
country. it isn't thirty days be-
fore he is sending back home for
his relatives. We sometimes
miss a star gazer, but the man
who looks straight out over the
country with a good intelligent |
vision, soon discovers that many
opportunities are open and he
doesn't have to be shown the
second time. There are oppor-
tunities also for the business man
and the investor, and it does not |
take a microscope to see them.
In locating here one does not
have to wait for an irrigation
project before he can put his land
under cultivation. The water is
at the settlers door and all he
has to do is to go after it. We
have several we'll drillers here
who sink wells at reasonable :
prices, and with engine and wind
mill the settler is ready for busi-
ness; he is his own water boss;
he can put the moisture over
whenever he wishes, and So is
free from the worries of the
