Vernon

Miss Blanch Baird is visiting in
Vernon a few weeks. She is the
guest of Fern Wilhelm.
Charley Gillispie ate dinner at
Wilhelm's today. He reports
water and mud at the Gillispie
ranches.
All Of the snow water creeks
are still running. This is tn e
latest the snow water was ever
known to run.
Johnnie Greer and wifewere up
from their ranch below, and made
Wilhelm's a visit. Johnnie and
brothers and cousins are farming
together this year.
Mrs. McIuturf and daughter,
Cora Lea, moved home from Hol-
brook last week. Miss Cora Lea
has been attending school at Hol-
brook the past winter.
Moving and farming are the
rage at Vernon. C. G. Naegle
moved his family up from Concho
this week. They will find water
and mud at Rio Bonito.
After a long winter sleep, un-
der a blanket of snow and ice,
Vernon has "awoke" and comes
forth with greeting to all. And
a hearty welcome to the Herald.
z. G. Wilhelm and family NOV
ed back to Vernon last week to
the old home. They have not
lived up here for several years.
George has gone into the COW
business again and is going to
cultivate his old farm this sum-
mer.
Planting is the epidemic raging
in Vernon at present, but it does
not seem fatal in any way. The
most serions part of this disease
is the appetite. One can see
grain drills running in most Of
the fields. Some of the land is
too wet to plant, but will be al
right for barely later. Every
body expects big crops this year.

PRAIRIE DOG KILLERS
NOW IN THE FIELD

~. A.OllcnrlSC, OF the u. y. Do
logical survey, who recently ar
rived in Snowflake. left last
Friday for Linden. in company
with a corps of assistants, where
he will endeavor to poison the
prairie dogs of that section as
well as other places in the south
ern part of the county.
A few months ago j. H. Frost
forwarded a petition, generously
signed by Linden homesteaders,
to the proper Was hington officials
asking government aid in exter-
minating these pests. He also
wrote letters to Senator Ashurst
and Congressman Hayden urging
them to take up the subject with
government authorities having
the power to act in such matters.
Supervisor Jennings, of the
local Forest office, highly rec
commended and did all within his
power to help the proposition,
although his department of the
government has nothing what
soever to do with killing prairie
dogs.
Mr.. Gilchrist is an expert in
the "dog-killing" line and has
fifteen different gangs working
under him. His territory COW
ers a large scope of country,
the states of Texas, New Mexi-
co, Arizona and California being
under his jurisdiction. He will
remain here only a short time,
leaving Mr.. Frost in charge of
the gang and to do the mixing
of the medicine. - The work
will continue for five months.
It is said that it takes about three
years to completely get rid of
the animals. The poison has to
be paid for and put out by the
farmers, as the government en-
ployes are not required to do
any dog killing only on unoccu-
pied or vacant land.
Among those who went from
here as Mr.. Gilchrist's assist
ants were Will Freeman, George
Frost, Nobe and Ike Rogers.
Mr.. Freeman went along as
teamster and entertainer for
the bunch.

FRONTIER DAYS IN
THE mile HIGH CITY

For three years Prescott has
been developing an annual en-
tertainment which bids fair to
prove the summer classic of the
southwest. From a very humble
start in 1912, Prescott Frontier
Days has grown until it is today
the watchword for square deal
ing and real range performance
in every section where sports of
the western range are honored.
This year no deviation will be
allowed from the resolve first
made in 1912, that all comers,
both contestants and visitors,
shall be treated with the same
regard and that prices for ac-
commodation will remain at the
reasonable rates prevailing at
all seasons in the Mile High
City.
Cheyenne Frontier Days. for
several years the last word in
clean programs, backed by hon
est management, has degen-
Grated into a mere show" in
which graduated" cow punch
ers in silk and buckskin do fancy
stunts on a wage basis or with a
guarantee for their perform
ance.
/ Profting by the history of
other western celebrations, the
management of Prescott From
tier Days, of which E. A. Kast-
ner is chairman and F. L. Ha-
worth arena director, have rules
that there will be no "gashers"
or "grandstand" players in the
1915 Frontier Days at Prescott.
Scores Of prominent riders in
the east have signifed their
intention of competing at Pres
colt, regardless Of the fact that
no wages or guarantee arrange
ments have been tolerated. A
majority of these men feel that
they can come and compete with
the Arizona cow puncher, fresh
from the range, and break into
the money somehow.
George Ruffner and o t h e r
prominent cowmen of Yavapai
county take the stand that these
outside entries need not terrify
local riders; that the puncher
fresh from the rodeo and accli-
mated to the Mile High elevation
stands more than an ven
chance and this is the general
feeling among Arizona punchers,
not a few of whom have already
sent in their entry blanks.
In this years celebration over
$4,000 in gold will be awarded,
including prizes amounting to
81, $50 in one event alone, the
Worlds Second Champion Bron-
cho Busting Contest. For this
great event the program COM
mittee is securing northern Arl-
zona for wicked horses and with
the ten noted outlaws fr o m
Juarez, which were seen at last
years show, it is expected that
at least fifty bad buckers will
be in the corral ready to cut
up" when the first announce
ment is made by Doc Pardee, at
2 O'Clock July 3.
The celebration will last for
three days, terminating July 5,
and the reception committee
guarantees comfortable accom-
mediation for all who will come.
Prescott accommodated several
thousand extra people in 1914
without a hitch. Very low ex-
cursion rates have been pub
lished in connection with Pres
colt Frontier Days. 1915.

Wonder Of Mechanism,

Half q century ago there was not q
watch In existence capable OF meeting
the requirements OF American railway
time service today. Railway time In.
spection has set the limit OF variation
from true time. for It's employees
watches at 80 seconds a week. This
means that the balance wheel shall
not vary In its motion TO the extent
OF one vibration out OF every 10000.
Taking into consideration the various
causes Of disturbance to which rail.
way engineers watch is subjected, the
jolts and jars. the changes OF tempera.
ture and the magnetic influence Incl.
dental TO the proximity OF large masses
OF iron and steel. this performance ia
truly remarkable. That II Is possible
to secure such accuracy In such tiny
piece OF mechanism subjected to those
adverse influences is little short OF
marvellous. and justihes the claim that
the watch Of today IL the most won.
