Our public schools are all open after the
,ong summer vacation. The buildings
have been thoroughly cleaned, chemical
sterilixer being used In connection with
the good old-fashioned scrubbing with
soap suds, so the buildings are believed to
he free from danger OF infection. Many
repairs have been made which greatly inn
proye the hvgienic condition.
Our high school is in class A, and ranks
well with the other schools In the State.
The laboratory is sufficiently well equipped
10 do the required work, and we hope to
increase the service each year. The COM
mercial course has been added, three new
typewriters have been purchased; also the
text. books and necessary supplies for
bookkeeping.
The school is much larger than for
many years, and there are few students
outside the school taking the commercial
course. For these a small tuition Is
charged. The insistent demand OF the
modern business world that the young
man or woman whom it employs must
have at least high school education
makes this opportunity OF great value.
The common schools are trying hard to
ft the pupils for high school, but we
greatly feel the need OF longer school
year. II the city fathers could possibly
appropriate sufficient money for school
year OF lhirty-six weeks instead Of thirty,
as we now have, the improvement would

A new departure this year is the meet
ing OF all nintb-gradc teachers once a
month TO consult and compare work in
order that the work may be uniform In ali
classes OF that grade, and the teachers
give aud receive suggestions as to the best
methods. These teachers are requested 10
meet at the superintendent Office next
Saturday at O'Clock.
We ask the cooperation of all parents.
The education OF to-day is three fold in
its nature, dealing with the mental, physi-
cal and moral nature of the child. The
schools may give excellent mental train
ing, but the best results can only be at
tanned when the home and school are one
in this important task.

THE COURTESY CLUB

An attempt is now being made to
make courtesy nay and be worth
while. The Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has
recently formed Courtesy Club"
among its employees. The condi-
tions of membership are that the
employees to become a member of
the elgb and secure the gold badge
must have some special mark of
courtesy to the public or made some
improvements in the service. The
company announces that frequently
its subscribers write to the manage
ment that some employee has been
unusually thoughtful and courteous
and recomends that employee to the
officials of the company for promo
ton. The CLUB intends to enroll as
members all employees who have
shown consideration enough for the
public to earn its good will and
opinion and membership in the Club
will assist in the employees advance
ment, Already over $50 of the
Telephone Company's six thousand
employees are enrolled as members.
The plan Is novel and unique and
the first Of its kind ever started by
any corporation serving the public.
The company employees In this dis
trict are striving to merit place in
the new Club.

"a success of good county fair Is
far reaching. Graham County has
the products. Give the farmers an
opportunity to show them. Let

PUBLIC LAND SURVEY
Party VIII Commence Work in
Graham and Greenlee

For the purpose of surveying q
large tract Of public land lying in
western Greenlee and eastern Gra-
ham counties, w. G. Kimball, assist
ant surveyor general of the state,
left Phoenix, August 9th, for Cliff
ton, at which place the surveyor
will outfit and leave on perhaps the
toughest expedition of its kind at
tempted in Arizona in number of
years,
For many years the inhabitants
Of the section of the state now en-
braced by the county line of Ora
ham and Greenlee have sought to
have their country surveyed. 1t
was not until lately, however, that
an appropriation was made which
would allow of the expenditure.
The work will take the surveying
party into the heart of the White
mountains. the toughest sections of
the state. Those lands lying about
the Blue river in Greenlee county
will come under the survey. An
other tract of land lying along Eagle
greek, practically on the county line
between Greenlee and Graham
county, will be surveyed.
The party will also run north
and south line along the east line of
the San Carlos Indian reservation as
far south as the reservation runs,
the point being the east boundary
of Graham county and the west line
Greenlee county. In each case it
will be necessary to place heavy iron
monuments at the section corners,
and great amount of work will be
entai!ed
The party will probably remain
in the mountains about eight weeks.
Owing to the inaccessibility and the
rough character of the country the
work will take long time in COM
plelion, and will mean difficult work,

JUST AS THE STORM WENT
DOWN

Adapted from "Just as the Sun Went
Down. Composed from true incidents
which happened in the Galveston Hood,
Sept. 10, 1900. lnscrlked to NV niece
Grace Trueman Stephen).
There in the midst Of the wild waves
roar,
just as the storm went down,
Bruised and tossed upon the shore,
Two loving sisters drown,
One clasped babe, with soft blue eyes,
One held babe with brown,
Bidding farewell to all earthly ties,
Just as the storm went down.

One tho of her Savior in the Home"
above,
Tender and true and tried;
One of ber husband, so young in his love,
Youthful in manhood's S pride.
One kissed babe with soft blue eyes;
One kissed babe with brown;
Looking beyond the storm-swept skie,
Just as the storm went down.
One knew Of hope in her Savior's love;
One of her husband 5 care;
Thinking of death, they looked above,
Breathing a trustful prayer.
One to her Savior, so true and tried;
One for husband in town;
They closed their reyes and trusting died,
Just as the storm went down.

NoTE: After the flood had gone
down, two mothers were found dead on
the strand, lying side by side, each with
a babe clasped in her arms, showing in
death that that highest holiest attribute
of humanity, "mother love-" was the
reigning thought in each of their minds

CARAVELS OF COLUMBUS
VIII Be Seen at San Diego, CAL,
During Exposition

SAN DIEGO, CAL. Sept. 5. San
Diego is to see the reproductions of
the caravels of Columbus, the Santa
Maria, the Pinta and the Nina, and
the harbor of San Diego is TO be the
first one on the Pacific coast of the
United States to hail them, after
they have passed through the Pana-
ma canal.
These reproductions of the cara
vels of Columbus, constructed for
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
in Chicago in 1893, have been in
Jackson Park, in Chicago, ever since
that time. They will be taken to
the drydock at South Chicago, where
they will remain until they are made
entirely seaworthy.
From Chicago the little fleet will
proceed to Boston, and there they
will tie up for the winter. In the
spring they will be manned by crews
of students from Harvard and be.
gin their long cruise. 1t is planned
to skirt the Atlantic, stopping at
San Salvador, the first land discov-
cred by Columbus, then on to Pana-
ma and through the canal.
Doubtless the little vessels will be
compelled to stop at some Pacific
port on the west coast of Central
America or Mexico for supplies, but
the first stop on American soil after
their passage through the canal will
he at San Diego.
Andrew Kaul, of Boston, q Har-
ward man, Is behind the movement
to bring the earavels to the Pacific
coast for the exposition in 1915.
He has furnished the Jackson Park
autorities sufficient bond to insure
their return to Chicago. Winfield
Hogaboom, of the San Diego Expo
sition, has taken up the matter of
entertainment of the crews of the
ships while they are in San Diego
harbor, with Mr.. Kaul, and has been
assured that the feet will stop in
San Diego harbor for a sufficient
time to permit of proper and fitting
ceremonies in connection with the
Panama-California Exposition in
San Diego.

HOLDS HIGH OFFICE
Miss John A. Shivers Is Act.
Ing Secretary of State
Of Arizona

Attest: John A. Shivers, Acting
Secretary Of the State of Arizona.
This is the significant signature that
will appear on state documents until
either the arrival of Governor Hunt
or of Assistant Secretary of State R.
E, MCCLELLAN puts an end to the re-
gime. Hon. John A. Shivers is the
official name of the young person
who now holds the position of right
hand bower to Acting Governor Sid
ney p Osborn.
Should anyone go into the Office
of the secretary of state in the
course of the next few days and ask
for Hon. John A. Shivers," a par
ticulariy handsome young woman
will rise up from behind big fiat
desk and say with fascinating
smile. This is John Shivers." And
should the newcomer persist and
say, But | meant the acting secre-
tary of state" the young lady may
reply truthfully, Il am the acting
secretary of state"
That ends it, for Mr.. Newcomer
or MIR. Stranger. or whoever it
might be seeking after knowledge,
would be looking at the one woman
in the United States that holds the
highest official position ever held by
a woman in America. Now stop and
think. If Sidney P. Osborn would
drop out of sight for short time
Miss Johnnie Shivers would be act
ing governor of Arizona. To say
that she is not fully able to hold
down either of the positions is to
but place limit upon her ability.
The wherefore of all this comes
from the fact that Governor Hunt
has notified Acting Governor
Osborn that he will remain amid
the snowclad peaks of Colorado for
some time more than he originally
intended to. This necessitated the
appointment of an acting secretary
of state, and Miss Shivers, who has
been an assistant secretary in the
Office for some time, and has proven
her ability to handle the office, was
forthwith appointed acting secre-
tary. When the news became noised
around numbers of young lady
friends began drifting into the Of
flee offering congratulations, which
were received in a very businesslike
way. Be it known that the news
paper men were not at all backward
in going forward with congratula-
tons either.
Miss Shivers, whose home is in
Solomopville, is typical Arizona
girl. forceful. self-reliant, consider
ate, courteous and of unfailing good
humor. The smile of the climate
is in her eyes, and the sparkle of
health and opportunity that she car
ries with her is contagious. 1t is
impossible to be idle in the presence
of the new secretary of state. She
carries her honors in very matter
nf-fact way, as if to the manor born,
even if she has yet scarcely reached
the voting.
That the business In the secre-
tary's office will see no abatement
during her tenure of Office goes
without saying. Arizona has an
other distinction to the many, and
that is to have the first woman Sec
retary of state. Republican.

ENGLAND AGAINST CHINA

The following article from Reedy'si
Mirror, Of August 29th, fully de-
scribes the great and powerful
Christian nation when, in the inter-
est of Big Business. she uses her
strength to tyrannize over a weaker
nation.
China has been fighting that great
est curse to humanity, opium, for
years. Has prohibited the growing
of the poppy and the manufacture
of opium, and imposes the penalty
of death on any of its people con-
victed of violating this law.
For suppressing this greatest
curse to the human race, China
SHOULD receive the commendation
and support of every nation of the
world. But what do we find? Eng
land. the supposedly great Christian
nation, says no. and insists that
China must import opium from In,
dia and continue the curse to its
own people. China must obey Eng
Hand. The CHRISTIAN nation insists
that the heather must continue TO
degrade himself, 50 that the Chris
tian may enrich himself. The arti-
Gle follows:
I'VE say of ourselves, though we
get angry if others say 1t of US, that
we sacrifice anything to Big Busi-
ness. But don't think we could
be guilty of such things as Great
Britain is now doing to China TO
prevent that country from getting
rid of the opium curse. General
Chang, military adviser to the presi-
dent of China, has just left England,
defeated in his mission to induce
Great Britain to prevent the impor-
tation of Indian opium into Chinese
territory.
"China has destroyed her own
poppy fields. But Indian opium
keeps coming in by the thousands
of tons. China can't shut it ont,
Great Britain won't let her. Great
Britain says the only thing China
can do is to buy up the Indian
opium coming to her ports and de-
stroy it. China can't raise the
money; can't even raise the money
necessary to the reconstruction OF
the government. But China. even
at that, has gone so far as to offer
to paw for the reshipment of i'm
ported opium to India and to forego
one million pounds sterling of reye-
nue. on that opium. Large amounts
of confiscated opium have been de-
stroyed by the authorities.
Great Britain insists that the
opium goes into China under the
guarantee of treaty made wholly
in the interests of China, but General
Chang points out that the treaty re-
ferred to was renewed in 1911 by
the Manchu government government
in the face of protests from all over
J China, and in defiance of unanim-
Gus appeal for its abrogation by the
Provisional National Assembly-the
Republican government in process
of formulation--who were of one
mind in desiring TO enforce total
prohibition.
|, Great Britain forces the poison
upon China, which has suppressed
from 80 to 80 per cent of her opium
production since 1906. The China
m an is forced to quit growing the
poppy. He is even executed for
, making opium. But Indian opium,
under the British flag, comes in
over his hesdiess corpse. There
can be but one verdict as to this
that it is infamous, devilish.
