Woodruff

Our citizens have been called
upon to mourn the loss of
one of our most valued citizens,
Jonathan Jackson, who died on
the afternoon of the 1st. Bro
ther Jackson has been for some
years subject to violent spells of
cramping of the stomach. About
a week ago he was taken with
one of these spells and no rem
edies that could be applied seem
ed to help him and he failed rap
idly until death claimed it's VIC
tim.
Brother Jackson was born in
Toquerville, Utah, on June 3,
1872, and was the son of James
jackson and Sarah A. Stapley.
He moved to Arizona at an early
day. Married Victoria Hancock,
by whom he had a large family.
Settling at Woodruff he soon be-
came noted for his industry and
energy and he soon had a farm
and other things around which
showed that he was one Of the
most prosperous of our citizens.
He was a hard worker and at
many times exposed himself in
driving mail and other work in
very cold and stormy weather,
and this NAV have been one
cause of Fastening the fatal COM
plant which finally terminated
his life. He leaves a wife and
seven children to mourn his loss,
besides many relatives and a
host of friends. The children
are all of tender age and to thus
be deprived of father so early
in life is a sorrowful event In
their life. The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon.
Edward M. Webb, an old time
resident of this place, is here on
visit. He has some children
here and many friends who are
pleased to meet him.
The indications are that winter
is coming, the ground this morn
ing being white with snow, but
as snow never remains long on
the ground we look for it to dis
appear before night.

SALIENT FEATURES OF The
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS

1t is the briefest regular mes
sage ever submitted by a Presi-
dent.
Victoriano Huerta, dictator OF
Mexico, is denounced as a usurp-
er. 1t is made plain that pre-
tended governments such as his
will not be countenanced or dealt
with by the United States.
"Huerta's power and prestige
are crumbling and his collapse is
not far away" says the Presi-
dent.
Congress is told the country
awaits with impatience for the
enactment of the Currency Bill,
and the senate is urged to con-
centrate on it until the matter is
disposed of.
The President devotes a con-
siderable portion of his short
message to a recommendation for
the enactment of laws which
will facilitate rural credits. Con-
gress is urged to pass laws which
will not make it necessary for
the government to resort to such
extraordinary eXpedients as the
distribution Of deposits in west
ern banks to help move crops.
| More explicit legislation aimed
at the trusts and supplementing
/ the Sherman Antitrust law is
recommended The President
promises a special message or
this subject a little later.
A presidential primary with
sae retentions of party conven-
tions to draw platforms and car
ry out the wishes of the people
expressed at the primary is rec
commended.
The President recommends that
legislation affecting the Philip.
pines be drawn with a view tc
the ultimate independence of the
islands.
A territorial form of govern
ment for Alaska is recommended
/ by the President.
Legislation looking to improv-
conditions of mine labor is rec
commended.
A fair and effective employers s
liability act is among the recon-
mendations.
Legislation relating to safety
at sea, now pending in the house,
is also recommended.

Special to the HERALD:
One of the most successful
conferences ever held in Snow
flake Stake was held here Nov.
80 and 81.
We were honored by the pres
ence of Pres. Joseph F. Smith
and party, consisting of Presi-
dents Joseph F. Smith and An
thon H. Lund, of the first presi-
dency of the church, Elders Geo.
A. Smith and Joseph F. Smith,
Jr., of the Twelve, Presiding
Patriarch Hyrum G. Smith, Pre-
siding Bishop Chas. w. Nibley,
Church School Supt. Horace H.
Cummings and Sisters Nibley and
Edna Smith.
The Stake house was filled to
it's utmost capacity at all the
meetings, especially the 2 p. m.
meeting of Saturday, when 780
persons were present. We proved
the old saw, There's always
room for one more, " to be false,
for there was not room for one
more.
At the 10 a. m. meeting, Pres.
Samuel F. Smith welcomed our
visitors from the neighboring
towns to our town, and oped all
would find accommodations. He
reported the health of our com
munities as good, and compared
our present conditions to the
times when every man was
against u.s. along in the eighties.
Elder Joseph L. Peterson and
Elder Chas. L. Rhoton, lately re-
turned from the mission field,
each made a few remarks, show
ing that they were filled with the
love of humanity and the gospel
of Jesus Christ.
Pres. Anthon H. Lund and Bp.
Chas. w. Nibley occupied the re-
mainder of the time. We were
counseled to remain in this land
and build it up, forced had made
no mistake in sending us here.
In the afternoon meetings Ed
ers Geo. A. Smith, Joseph F.
Smith, Jr. and President Joseph
F. Smith were the speakers. The
first two speakers showed from
the scriptures that this land of
America was a choice land and it
was not by chance that Columbus
discovered it. Pres. Joseph F.
Smith spoke mainly along tenn
poral lines, advising us to put in
water system and make our
homes and surroundings more
beautiful.
On Sunday all of the visiting
brethren from Salt Lake City ad-
dressed us in turn, and President
Joseph F. Smith spoke twice.
Their remarks were timely and
to the point. Pres. Smith said
that if we would follow the ad-
vice given for the improvement
of our town, he would promise
us that some time in the near fu-
ture we would have a temple
built in this vicinity.
Our visitors left for Holbrook
at $3.50 p. m. and at Pres. Joseph
F. Smiths request, the assembly

had a SPLENDID time, but so far
as getting the amount of deer
that the law allows they did not
succeed. This was mostly due
on account Of the drizzling rains

PEELED the hunters to hang around
the good old camp fire more than
they otherwise would.
