Spring election is but few weeks off
and the only thing we SO far can learn is
that new factor viii be introcuced in the
ranks. This spring the voters will be given
the opportunity Of doing .Wet or Dry
in this township and from what we can learn
vigorous campaign is to be waged against
the "wets.,' Talking of spring election
leads us to say that our present township
officials have made record for themselves
that can't be beat by any in Ashland county
and all we have to say to the voters of this
township is, "We can't select better lot
then we at present have Their records
one and all Will stand the closest scruting
without aow. The work of these officials
in the past entities them to reelection by
the voters this spring.

425,OOO FEET or
DOWN TIMBER
Logged on Section i6-- --22s,.
600 Feet Still.
Remain to be Lossea--Wiay Not Cut
Entire strip ard 6ei t;ae Cash.

4st e. z
We learn this week that 42s,0OO ieet OF
down timber on Section 16 has been logged
while 225, 900 foet still remain which VIII
be impossible to get this year, If the wealth
er remains as it is. In passing on this TIM
ber, the writer watched the cutting OF TINS
timber in the mill, from the unloading at
the dock. through the saw TO the tratsfer,
from where It is taken to tee yard and we
can safely cap, without suffering that the
lumber made from three-quarters OIL tins
timber did not pay for its manufacture rs 1t
was practically worthless.
Now while we are on the subject Of tim
Der we have often thought, would it1not be
good idea to sell this timber as well as
all standing timber on this reservation and
convert II into cash, for it is well known
fact that the money thus derived and placed
in bank would at least bring 8 per cent in
terest while the timber standing is continu-
ally decreasing in value
The cutting of this down timber on Sec.
16 is good example of the waste of tim
Der in past years, by the opposing of any
move made the department toward the saw
inc of the timber. The best policy is and
should of been the converting Of the timber
snto cash and then scrap over the money
We believe that one million feet of timber
has been lost in just this way and perhaps
even more and we predict if the Indian
manufacture of lumber is allowed another
million will be added to the loss already
sustained.

CAN THIS Be
POSSIBLE?
Information Comes to Us THAT
Tire Dcings of the
Dark Ages Are Still In Vogue at the
Hayward School.

Information co mes to us this week from
VIM. Boyd, father of John Boyd, a 14-year
old boy, of this village, who has been at
tending the Hayward school, if true, is a
disgrace to that institiation and to the gov
ernment that maintains it ard goes to show
that at least, this school needs lesson in
the advancement OF civil zation and that we
are not now living in the dark ages,
II seems that Mr. Boyd's son John, who
had been attending this school, for some
reason ran away, which under the circum-
stances was not very bad crime against
society, as many white children run away
from school, but in this instance it was an
Indian child The child was apprehended
at his home in this village and returned to
school, which was proper. But now comes
the part, if the statement made is correct,
is certainly not proper, the placing of this
child in ball and chain in ball and chain
and made 10 pile wood for a punishment.
Is this the kind of Punishment being given
children in this advanced age Of humanity'
This age of enligbtmenr and advancement,
in government schools?
This child again ran away from school
with these manaeles attached to him and
walked, it it claimed, three miles before he
relieved himself of them. If this act had
occurred in whitenan's school AND under
the township system Of schools, what would
| be the outcotnes The teachers in charge,
{ the officers Of the school board and every
person connected with it would be prosecut-
ed by the irite parent and he certainly would
have the backing Of the Law and the people
in soSoing. But this has happsned in {
school conducted by the government:
They must be teaching ancient history

that a letter has been received from D. B.
Henderson, of Washington, D. c. that the

that MIR. Henderson, as their attorney

Early Railroading in Arizona


 The first railroad locomotive to enter the state of Arizona was for use on a line in the Clifton mining district. The road, necessitated by the predilection of the Apaches for attacking the wagon trains carrying ore to Clifton, killing the drivers and eating the mules, was four miles long and was completed in two years largely by convict labor. The To- comotive purchased for use on the road was the smallest made at the time, but it was the wonder and admiration of the district, and besides it was something the Apaches could not eat. Downgrade it could handle all the ore cars that the brakes would hold, but 1t could haul back not more than two empties. When the furnaces froze up, which occurred once a week, the locomotive could handle tho traffic, but when the furnaces were at their best resort. was made to combined mule and locomotive train, dozen mules in front hitched to half & dozen cars with the engine behind as pusher Hank Arbuckle. the engineer, was the only man within 800 miles who understood anything about a locomotive. and next to the metallurgist he was the most important feature of the Arizona Copper company's milling establishment. When the locomotive jumped the track Hank with the assistance of three Mexi- cans, heaved 1t back again.

250O SIGNPOSTS ARE
 PLACED BY AUTOISTS

Tho last of the 25o0 signposts installed along 2900 miles of the National Old Trails route between Los Angeles and Kansas City Is in place. This finishes the largest single undertaking of the Automobile club of southern California and means that all the difficult portions of this great highway now have been supplied with direction instructions and road markers.
 A tremendous increase In transcontinen tai auto traffic is resulting from this work. which was delayed several months owing to unexpected difficulties
 Estimates made of the California travel over the Old Trails route through Me- braska indicate that during 1915 there will be 37 cars to one that came west in 1914. At Holbrook. where the count was kept, 194 machines on transcontinen- tai tours passed last year. During the month of May, 1915, 216 cars, 6b per cent of which were west bound, passed through. June showed an increase over May, so that the estimate for the year indiactes that hundreds of touring par ties will appreciate. the undertaking of the Auto club sgnposting the Old Trails route.

Before the mystery had been solved, trolley car con ductors pedestrians, automobile drivers. and even the chief of police volunteered for role in the little drama only to dis- cover that no assistance was necessary.
 Automobiles have been driven up hill and down, through sand and mud, on nigh and on low, through the city traf- ilc In fact, 1t seemed as though every form of demonstration and test had been utilized to prove the quality of motor cars. But the lonely, piotless car in New Haven was doing something absolutely new. It was proving fiexibility and de- penda abilfty and ease of operation in a manner that was both new and startling.
 The car that stirred New Haven was a Paige "Six-46" and it was turned loose Tn the city streets by a salesman of the New Haven Paige distributors. The Paige was started on Whitney avenue, in high, and throttled down, and then left to its own devices. It rolled along at about two Ai'iiS' eii 'iooi "itll lilt SdleSIIdn Tn CnarRe walking along the sidewalk to keep am- bilious and over-excited people from run. ming to an ill-advised rescue
 The Paige proceeded thus for several blocks, passing automobiles and trolley cars running in the opposite direction. While the phantom car" shattered the nerves of few, the demonstration was certainly complete and entirely successful. There is no longer any question in the minds of the New Haven citizens that the Paige Is flexible and will throttle down to walk on high. Even the chief of po- lice admits it.

|. 4. EARL ID BE VICE. PRESIDENT OF TIE. OVERLAND COMPANY
Has Had Wide Experience in Executive Positions. Formerly With Indian
 Factory

Clarence A. Earl, one of the fore most figures in the New England man ufacturing field. Is to become a vice president and director of the Willys- Overland company. Toledo, o. The ar rangement Is another of the steps taken by President John N. Willys to give the company the benefit of an official personnel that represents the highest type of executive and mana serial ability that is to be obtained
 Earl was for over 20 years with the Corbin Screw corporation, New Britain, Conn, and after 1t became a unit In the American Hardware corporation he became first vice president of the lat ter He resigned this position and that of general manager of the Corbin busi- ness last year to become vice presi- dent and assistant general manager of lne Hendee Manufacturing company, Springfield, Mass, the maker of Indian motorcycles. Early this year George M Hendee. the president, relinquished to Earl the entire general management of the Hendee businss and the title Of general manager, because of the re- markable results that had attended Earls application of his managerial and executive abilities. Given an en- tirely free rein. Earl has further brought the company to state of eff hcient management that more than confirms the highest estimates that have been placed on his business capa- bility.
 His experience has been such that he is not only manufacturing exec utive, capable of organizing and d. rectfng factory on lines of maximum efficiency, but he is an experienced di- rector of sales policies and organiza- ttons, and at the same time enjoys a New York banking houses, who have financial matters.
 Overland company was entirely unso- through the initiative of Willys him. self in seeking out the kind of man suitable for the Wi1lys- Overland plan. So great has the Willys-Overland busi- ness become and so great a momentum has it acquired that Willys has deemed 1t desirable to place its direct admin istration in the hands of men suffi- c1ently big and experienced to cope with all the important issues that arise In the making and marketing of the huge output. Earl's close relation with the automobile business, both in the making of automobile parts and the manufacture and mark etlng of speed ometers and his motorcycle experience met the preference that Willys has for men familiar with the detail probl ems of the motor car industry as against those whose experience has been out side the automobile field. The exec
