EIGHTY HEAD OF ELK
 TO BE BROUGHT HERE

There is a movement now un- der way among the Elk Lodges of Arizona assisted by the State and National officers to import eighty head of live Elk into the State of Arizona from the Yel- lowstone National Park Resera- tion. How soon this difficult work of catching trapping and trans porting these animals will be &C., complished is hard to tell as yet, but it has been brought to the attention of the members of the local lodge and also all other Elk Lodges in the State.
 The Elk when ready for deliy- cry will be shipped here and will then be crated here and put g wagons, about ten Elk in a crate and put in corral for few months until they get accustomed to the country in the vicinity of Chevelon Creek, where a man will be placed to feed and. take care of them for a few months before turning them loose to roam in that section. -'>
 It is said that the expense of transporting the animals and giving them the proper attention for while will be about $3, ,000. Part of this expense will be paid by various Elk Lodges in Arizona and part will be paid by the gox- ernment who gave the Arizona Elks permission to capture the. eighty head and take them free of charge to this country. if they could guarantee to protect the anil als properly.

It was followed in the evening by a light snow of only about an inch. Sunday was cold with considerable wind and furries of snow along toward ev- ening.

SNOWFLAKE CITIZENS
 HOLD MASS MEETING

ly held a mass meeting in that thriving up-to-date little town and appointed several prominent citizens to look after matters of County and State affecting the taxpayers. The two matters es- pecially mentioned were the re- duction of the salaries of our county officials and also to kill the proposed recommendation o the various Boards of Arizona for a bond issue of ten r1llion dollars for the purpose of constructing good roads throughout the State. The object of the meeting is a very good one, but we can not quite agree with the actions thereof, however. Every voter should take interest in the gov ernment of both his county and state and familiarize himself with all it's workings in order that he may vote intelligently. This is especially true under our form of government where we have the initiative, referendum and recall, etc. Our taxes were high this year for various reasons, but it is not wholly due to the salaries of our county officers, which are practically the same as under the old form of territorial govern ment. The tax levy for 1912 was not high enough to meet the ex- penses of the county for that year and consequently the high levy this .yearis te-Ti'sa.itt the coun- ty for about half of the year 1912 and the whole year 1913. We do not think that our county officers are overpaid. They are all eff cient men and could get equal salaries from the commercial world and you can't get good men to serve in office unless you pay them well. And besides, with the coming of statehood their duties have increased considera- ply. Now as to the proposed bond issue the amount may be a little too high, but the object thereof is commendable one and should go through.
 Good roads are needed more than anything else in this state and we of Navajo County realize this more than people do in other parts of the state. This county has spent thousands of dollars in temporary repairs of it's roads and what have we to show for it? Just after the rainy season, abso- lutely nothing. Had the county bonded itself years ago and built good roads we would now have them instead of what we have. It it just like throwing money away to do in the future as we have done ir the past. The bond issue is a good thing, the right amount could be calculated and it might not take ten million dollars but we need some part thereof. Money spent for good roads and applied right and put into perm anent work is not money thrown away but invested in paying investment. Good roads comes next after a good school system and there is not one of us who does not gladly pay his portion of the taxes to maintain our school system. No one dares deny that we do not need good roads, and the only way that we can possi- bly have them is to borrow the money and build them, instead of putting a few measley dollars in temporary repairs each year, and which does no permanent good.

One of the factors to be considered in
the heating Of a dwell ing during cold
weather is tn amount of moisture con
tanned in the air. This factor is perhaps
as important as the temperature in de
termining the effects ON such heating
and the L. ~Sulting comfort to the occu-
,aniS. Cod air will not hold as much
moisture as warm air. and when air he
rom 5 cold. therefor it loses part
Of its moisture. The result is that during
the winter we talk air that has bat Il
small amount Of moisture and, by heat
ing this air cause u change IN II which
is similar in its effect to a reduction in
the amount of moiture. As cooling All
reduces tn amount of moisture it can
contain. heating air has the opposite eff
feet and increases the amount Of molS
lures the air will take UP. When Ne take
wint l. air. therefore. and heat it for
our dwellings the drNneSS of the air IS
increased unless moisture is added.
