QUAIL FOR NOR-
 THERN ARIZONA


 We note that the State Game Warden is about to trap some quail to be shipped to some of the northern counties and turned loose to stock the valleys. There is no doubt that this is a move in the right direction, as we know quail will do well here, the ex- per1ment being tried here some years ago by Sheriff Joe Woods and Nat Greer who at the time brought in several pair of the little birds and kept themup for a while. but as soon as they were allowed range freedom the coyo- tes and bobcats cleaned them u7s in a short time and it is very doubtful if anything less than a couple hundred pairs of the birds would be successful in stocking this portion of the Little Colo rado valley.

NOW? WHO IS SUP
 POSED TO READ TT?

Of course this is a big country, and it takes a lot of words and a
 lot of printing to keep the people informed as to the affairs of Agri- culture. It is related that once upon time man who clamored for a big job was satisfied when set to work washing an elephant. This may have been a no larger task than to attempt to supply everybody with something to read but the Agricultural Department has come very close to doing it. since according to the annual re- port of the Department, 38, 900, = GOO agricultural bulletins were distributed during the past fiscal year. The Superintendent of Documents sold 231, ,821 docu4 ments for $21. .7O8.7 and the rest of the bulletins were distri- buted free.

THE COMMUNITY
 CHRISTMAS TREE

Last Christmas Eve beautiful tree was placed immediately in front of the United States CapI- toI, and a Christmas festival was held on the Capitol plaza. It was the first recognition of the Com munity Christmas Tree" idea, and it was so thoroughly appre- ciated by all who witnessed the gorgeous spectacle. that Vice President Marshall and Speaker Champ Clark, who control the plaza park, consented to it's use again this year. The Com munity Christmas Tree" is an idea of one of the big eastern cities, but it is so pretty custom that large and small places all over the country are adopting it.

FIERCE FIGHT WITH
 MOUNTAIN LION
NerUy Hunter SaUes Life by q
 Timely Bullet.

On Monday last the Cooley boys, of Cooley's Ranch. after a furious battle. succeeded in kill ing a monstrous mountain lion. At one time in the fight the en- ragged beast made a swift charge for Roy. who was at the tune engaged in reloading his gun, and was only saved at the last instant by timely bullet from Don.
 The boys very generously pre- scented the magnificent skin to their fathers nnrse, Mrs. Will liam A. Ard, who will have the specimen properly mounted, as a much prized trophy of her so- journ in the White Mountains. = Communicated.

FoRD.S THEATRE

The Efficiency and Economy Commission reported in favor of tearing down Ford's Theatre, where Abraham Lincoln was shot, and although that was more than a year ago. the re- porters still make a piece of
 news" of the story that the building IS to be abandoned and leveled to the ground. How. ever, the War Department. which is in charge of the build ing and has it's destiny in keep ing, has absolutely no intent or purpose to give up the structure. In fact, extensive repairs have been made on the building within recent months, and since it is well lighted and airy, and the foundation and walls firm and substantial, there is not the slightest reason to suppose that Ford's Theatre will not be used as an office building by the gov ernment for many years to come.
 Though the place has been completely remodeled since that eventful night of April IA, 1865, when John Wilkes Booth assas- sinated the great Lincoln. yet 1 found the location of the stage, the Lincoln box, and passed through the same door by which Booth made his escape. And employed in the building I met Edwin H. Spang, who went with hls girl' to Ford's Thea Ire. and he told me how he made use of his season pass that very night and arrived in the theatre ten minutes before the tragedy occurred. Spang is now a gray haired old man, but he is only one of a great many vete- rans of the civil war who work within the gray brick walls keep ing straight the war records of the men who fought for and a. gainst, the United States.
 Originally the structure was a Baptist Church, which explains the peaked roof so unusual in modern building operation. As

a theatre it must have been g
 very fine one for it's day. since
 the auditorium was large and ii
 is still possible to figure out what
 was the location of the orchestra
 floor, the balcony and the pea
 nut. " These three floors now do
 service for office purposes. And
 though the alley in the rear has
 been changed as a result of the congestion of business, yet stand ing in the door through which the murderer escaped It is pos slble to trace the direction taken
 by the fieet-footed white horse that carried J. Wilkes Booth eighty miles away in his flight from the righteous wrath of a people struck almost dumb by the horror of hIs deed.
 Ford's theatre closed as an amusement house the night Lin coin was shot. The government acquired the building. and used it for various office purposes. On June g, 1893. it became the scene of a second tragedy. Be- tween 400 and 500 clerks were at work, when suddenly the three floors dropped, and this great mass of humanity was pitched into the basement. Twenty-one were killed, and many more in- jured. MT. A. G. Yount and Mir. L. A. Rosafy escaped death. and both carry scars as evidence of their injuries. This occurrence was due to insecure supports be- ing supplied by contractors who were rearranging the floors and interior of the structure.
 tord's Theatre is an instiIu- tion of the nation. Its outer walls afford the view that satisfies the tourist and the slght-seer who takes a running look at things as he passes. There is no danger that it will be torn down for a great many years. and meanwhile it will continue to serve as a habitation for govern ment business, and thousands of strangers will pass it every week and be satisfied to behold the place from the outside. Across the way stands a little brick house and in thls place Abraham Lin coin died.

MEETING THE ANTI
 BLACKLIST LAW

We understand that some of the larger employers of labor in Arizona have decided. for the present. at least. not to attack the validity of the anti-blacklist law but that they intend to de- feat the purpose of it in another and what strikes us, as such an effective way, that movement will probably be instituted for It's repeal. It is their purpose, we have been informed, to entertain in Arizona no applications for em- ployment. They will have em- ploying agencies in California and other nearby states where application must be made and where the applicants may be freely questioned regarding their qualifications and antecedents. a privilege denied Arizona em- ployers under the anti blacklist law.
 The law was of course designed primarily to benefit the labor ing men of this state, but under the program said to have been decided upon. if an Arizona la- boring man wants to secure a position with a large corporation he must be at the expense of go- ing to California or to some point outside the state to apply for it. The operation of this program would naturally result in brlng- ing in outside laborers who could more easily make application for Arizona jobs.
 Ultimately it is said, these en- ployers when they get ready, will attack the anti-blacklist law. But they say that there is no reason. at present. why they should do so. It is more convent ent for them to give an exhibi- tion of an unexpected effect of it. Arizona Republican.

ELK HELD UP BY
 QUARANTINE LAW

A shipment of elk that were to be shipped to southern Ari- zona from the north has been held up by the quarantine law and will not be shipped until the quarantine is raised. The elk were to be turned loose Tn the Graham mountains. It would be a good idea for the sportsmen of northern Arizona to start a move ment for the shipment of an- other band in here to be turned loose in the White Mountains, which is their natural home.

Asbestos In Arizona

The United States Geological Survey reports a new discovery of asbestos in Arizona. This is thirty miles northeast of Globe, and is the same quality which long has been mined in the depths of the Grand Canyon. a few miles east of the Santa Fe Railways EI Toyar Hotel. The new disco very lies in a canyon 800 feet be- low the rim, and within thirty miles by wagon trail from a rail- way. Of the quality of Arizona asbestos. generally. the director says: ''The remarkable fiber from Arizona, twisted into a yarn O.03 of an inch in thickness, will support an average weight of fifteen and one-half pounds. Its content of iron is decIdely lower than that of the Canadian fiber, and. for that reason, it is better for insulating purposes. The Surveys report on asbestos con- tains a map of the Arizona de- posit, which may be obtained free on application to the direc- tor of the Geological Survey.

WOOD ENCRAVINGs

The better wood engravings are made almost exclusively of box wood, and the large blocks are made of small pieces glued to- gether. The engraving is done across the end of the grain. Japan wood prints, on the other hand, are made on lengthwise sections of cherry wood parallel to the grain.

School Notes Of
 Special Interest
SUCCESSFUL TERM
A More Regular Attendance is
 Strongly Urged.

The following pupils have
 been neither absent nor tardy
 during the first half year:
 Cora McInturff, Claud Flani- gan, Anna Thomas and Susie Thomas. of the ninth grade; Alma Wallace. sixth grade; Harry Paulsell and Wesley New man, fifth grade; Warden Black, Fay Flanagan, Minnie Wallace and Floyd Paulsell, fourth grade. This is certainly complimentary to the parents of these pupils.
 Regarding absences, parents could be of great assistance in keeping up attendance and in- terest in the school work. It is a noticeable fact that those pupils who ase permitted to ab- sent themselves more frequently are also the ones who soon lose interest in school work. The success of our school work during the past week was prac- tieally ruined by the unprece- dented number of absences. In the different rooms, more than seventy absences are recorded, and these all by permission or request. of parents. This week being examination week for the. first half year, made these ab- sences more detrimental than ever We hope that, commenc- ing with the new year, parents viii cooperate vita us and se- cure more rdgular attendance. School work should be considered of primary rather than secondary 
 Josephine Jones returned to Gallup, N. M.. the fore part of this week. She will spend the holidays with her parents. after which she will take up school work in Sisters school, at AL buquerque, N. M. Josephine has been living with the Paulsell family for the past six months. l
