Swimming club is to be permanent
feature of the city's civic life, there
can be no doubt as to the desirability
! of having some sort of shelter at the
city's only playground. The Dramatic
club has been asked to provide some
sort of entertainment, the proceeds of
which are to go toward such improve
ments, and if the club produces the
farce comedy in contemplation, the
money so made will be offered to the
city for the purpose of partly defray-
ing the expense of the innovation. An

More Bank Talk

Did it ever occur to you why all good busi-
ness men keep checking account with
bank? Wen tell you. It enables them to
keep their funds in more secure place
than the office safe. It gives them better
standing in the business world. It enables
them to pay their bills by check, the re-
turned check being an indisputable re-
ceipt.
Individuals find checking account very
convenient and source of saving. Money
in ones pocket is often spent on the spur

work, hence it will be possible to have Holbrook bridge repair ed much sooner than if bids were invited.
 The bridge east of town is on the state highway and it will be replaced by the state, under the direction of it's own engineers, working in conjunction with Navajo county's engineer.
 Supervisor Hennessey informs the News that money from the state will not be available until July first for building the bridge, and he fears that if woyk is not started until that time it can not be completed before cold wea- ther.
 It is possible that some plan may be decided upon whereby the county will advance the money so that work on the bridge may be started before midsummer.

School Noes of Interest

Bertha Wallace is again in school after a two weeks ab- sence.
 James Dewitt has discontinued work in the eighth grade on ac- count of his. parents moving to St. Johns. His classmates and teacher very much regret losing James as he was to have gradu- ated at the end of the term.
 Our new outdoor gymnasium is proving a source of pleasure and entertainment to grown ups as we'll as school children. Each evening finds a goodly crowd of young people on the play grounds prepared for an evenings gam bol. We are always glad when our school facilities are put into use for the pleasure, profit or entertainment of the community.
 The eighth grade IS hard at work trying to finish the full Arizona course of study before taking the state examination. This grade is compelled to do exceptionally heavy work on ac- count of not having had full work during previous school years. All members of the class are working with a vim and even tho unable to finish all work they should feel satisfied with having made strenuous effort.
 On account of the flood scare, the enforced absence of many of our pupils last Thursday and Fri day necessitated our deferring monthly examinations until this week, thereby making us late in getting out our report cards. A happening of this kind is unfor- tunate, especially at this period of the school year. and makes the work of the teachers doubly hard, but we are not complain ing, as we feel that our efforts are appreciated. We hope that we may have nothing of which to complain in the way of punct- uality and attendance the re- mainder of the term. Now, pupils, at the last analysis. it is up to you, whether you fail or We have left nothing undone for your advancement.

COUNTY AND TOWN NEWS Some of The Events That Have Transpired in
 This Vicinity
 Recently
FaUors Pumping Plant

Supervisor o. R. Gardner, whose home is at Woodruff, stat ed Wednesday to the editor of the News that the loss to his To- cality from the flood last week is very serious. About 1900 acres of land, a large part of which is in bearing orchards. receive irri- gation water from the reservoir that was emptied when the dam was washed out. To replace the dam and fill the reservoir can not be done this season, and unless the rainfall is plentiful many of the orchards will be greatly damaged. Mir. Gardner believes that the best way to handle the situation is to put in a pumping plant and he thinks that by that method sufficient water to pro- tect growing trees and to carry the other crops to maturity can be secured. Mr. Gardnerfis one of the largest land owners in the Woodruff district; his judgment is good and in this case his ad- vice will probably be accepted.

Field Notes From The County
 Engineers Office

The recent flood in the Little Colorado River played havoc with the Navajo County bridges. the only one remaining is the single span at Woodruff.
 A steel cable furnished by th1s department is now being used for the transfer of mail and pas sengers across the break at Hol- brook. There is fairly good ford for heavy travel just below the bridge site.
 The citizens on the south side, with commendable energy, con- structed a temporary foot bridge between the piers which served a good purpose for two days: This morning. a two foot rise in the river broke it loose from it's mooring and it is now anchored by the cable only.
 At a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors held on the Fist, the county engineer was in- structed to proceed with the re- pairs on the Holbrook bridge. In anticipation of this emer- gency this office was prepared to Immediately place orders for the needed material which is now en- route to HoIbrook. A single steel span will be thrown across the break resting upon concrete piers.
 Invitations for bids for the sal wage of the old bridges and ma terial are in course of prepara- ton.
 Travel from the south side. or. St. Johns, can either cross the river by fording at Holbrook or come by the way of the Wood ruff bridge and ford the Rio Puerco on the old road which has ea -e opened.
 All hopes of the road roller seem to have gone a glimering for the flood sent Us by our neigh boring county will wash a big hole in our road fund.

To a represen- tative of the News Senator Crabb stated that he would make a strenuous effort to secure an appropriation for the benefit of the food sufferers in Navajo and Apache counties. In this effort he will undoubtedly have the cooperation of Senator Fred T. Colter of Apache and also of Representatives Berry and Proc tor.

Crossed Under Difficulties

The first person to cross the river at Holbrook after the bridge was washed out last Friday was Prof. A. C. WilIardson. violin in- structor at the St. Johns aca- denny. Prof. Wlllardsen left St. Johns after the flood to go to his home in Redmond. Utah. He had to go from Concho to Snow flake, thence to Holbrook. ar irving at the bridge about 7.3O D. m. The only way to cross was on rope cable stretched a. cross the rlyer, so the professor disrobed, tied on to the rope and friends pulled him across. Aside from a good ducking Tn the cold and muddy water he landed all right.

Echoes of the Flood

 day. the bodies of five of the
 eight persons drowned in the
 flood caused by the break in the
 Lyman reservoir had been re-
 covered at that date. The bodies
 of the little Palmer and Ray girls.
 and the body of the infant Save dara, were still missing. These
 bodies may have since been re-
 covered but the News is not ad- vised of the fact.
 The report that a party of au- tomobile tourists was camped be- low the reservoir. and that the party IS yet unaccounted for, can not be verified. The report is probably erroneous, as is the re- port that the body of a drowned man was seen to pass Holbrook and Winslow. The News repre- sentative has not talked with anyone who claims to have seen. a body, although number of persons in HoIbrook saw different parts of an automobile floating down stream. It IS possible, of course, that others may have been caught by the flood and drowned, but up to the present. time no persons have been re- ported missing. other than the eight known to have been drown ed.
 The direct loss to residents of HoIbrook is small. although for time during the heighth of the flood the possibility of the banks of the river overfiowing and submerging the business houses and residences south of the rail- road tracks seemed very near. Hard work upon the part of thel people generally in strengthningl the banks with rock and sacks filled with sand prevented this, and the crest of the flood passed without further damage.
 The loss in livestock by local stockmen is not believed to be- great. and it's extent will probab- ly not be known until the springl roundup.
 W. R. Scorse, the druggist, suffered a considerable loss on hls ranch just east of town. This land borders the river, and to prevent the encroachment of the water Mir. Scorse had done a large amount of riprap work on the bank. This was all washed out. entailing a loss of several hundred dollars.
 The indirect loss to Holbrook
 v will be great. Until the two bridges that were washed out can be repaired, automobile tour ists can not reach the town. ex- cept by a long detour. Eight au- tomobile parties. marooned here by the flood last week, shipped | their cars by freight to Albuquer- que.
 In addition to the loss from the tourist travel, freighters from the country south of the river are compelled to ford the river to get into Holbrook, and this traffic will in consequence be greatly curtailed.
 While the flood damage to and Apache counties. and | to the citizens thereof. was great, there is some consolation in the thought that it might have been worse. With favorable climatic conditions during the summer, fair crops may yet be grown in the stricken district, and the loss on this account may not be SO great as at first supposed.

DOCTOR MckIM ADVOCATES RE-
LlGIoN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Respectfully,
VINCENT CHIAPPA, S. ].


In sermon to the Daughters of the
American Revolution (who held their
convention in Washington last week.
preached "in the shade of Saint Al.
ban's," DR.. Randolph McKim said
that the spread of Christianity to all
parts of the country is the greatest
work now before them. and urged
that the women use their influence
toward the change in the public school
system whereby the teaching of the
principles of the Christian religion
would be incorporated in the curri-
culum.
DR.. McKim lately achieved an un-
enviable notoriety through the we'll.
merited rebuke of the New York Sun.
and seems to have profited by his cas-
tigation, for he has evidently broad.
ened out in the last few days in his
attitude toward non-Episcopalians. He
even went so far in his sermon as to
declare that the public schools should
endeavor not to Offend the belief" OF
any children in the reading of the
Scriptures, and departed from his ira
ditional attitude so far as to say that
even the Roman Catholics should be
consulted as to the portion OF the
Bible to be adopted for school use.
