Students Make Record
That Is Hard to Beat

tfFNgF f~s ~ SEr
i, hereby challenge any depart
ment of any district school in
the state Of Arizona or any other
state to produce a record equal
to that made by the 5th and 9th
grades of the Taylor school,, dis
trict No. 6. Navajo Co., Arizona.
The average attendance during
the entire school year of 1914-15
was 96.7 per cent. Our school
only lost one student which fact
in itself is unusual. But the
most commendable and astonnd-
ing fact is that these energetic
and enterprising pupils made an
average attendance for the last
month of 100 per cent. Can the
like be found when you take
into consideration the rule that
the last month is always the
mostpoorly attended? Of course
we have proved ourselves the
exception to the rule. In
order that the HERALD readers
may know who these loyal boys
and girls are their names will be
given below, and let me say in
their behalf and my own, that
we love Arizona and it's insti-
tutions of learning, and it is our
ambition to make it's star the
brightestin the diadem.

Hubben'S May Install
Airship On Nail Line

Roman Hubbell returned Sun
day from a trip to Los Angeles,
Calf. While there he visited
the aeroplane yards and got the
aeroplane fever, and he now
proposes to establish an air line
mail route between mere and Ga
nado, Ariz., over which route he
has the contract for carrying
the mail by auto. Hubbell's
have the contract for carrying
the mail out of Gallup and they
are of the opinion that they
could carry it much cheaper
over the air route than by auto.
Mr.. Hubbell has written to the
postofice department. for ,infor-
nation in regard to changing
from an auto route to an aero
plane route. The distance to
Ganado is about 80 miles and
an aeroplane could make it in 3
hours, and. with relay stations
on the route it now requires a
day to make the tip. An aero
plane could. carry 600 pounds of
mail and parcel post, and could
go in good or bad weather. with
out any regard for the condition
of the roads. The only thing
that might interfere with this
route, which would have clear
sailing in all parts of N e.w
Mexico, would be the Arizona
blue Sky" law, if there is any.

The First Colonizing On the Lit
~ tie, Colorado RiDer J, @
I'm the year 1870 aaman by the
name of John Walker who was
employed to o2carry express be-
tween Forts Wingate and Apache
(the latter post having just
been occupied by troops) built a
cabin at the crossing Of the bit
tie Colorado river, about five
miles below where St. - Johns is
now located, This was the first
house erected on the Little Colo
RADIO or any of it's tributaries.
The following year a few Mexl-
cans gathered around this place
and made some temporary huts
and in the spring of 1872 they
moved up and located the town
of St. Johns. 3 Solomon Barth
and a few others came IN
shortly after and gave the town
a start. For several years 1T
made but little progress, and
like most of these frontier places
had it's proportion of renegades,
both American and, Mexican. A
few moved on and located at
Round Valley where Milligan
was starting a settlement.
- In the fall of 1870, William r.
Milligan left Fort Craig with a
train load Cf corn for the mill
tary post which had just been
established at Apache. His
wagons were drawn by oxen, the
route being by way of the Tulo-
roso and Round Valley. After
delivering the corn, at Fort
Apache, he. returned, stopping
at Round Valley, where he put
up a log house. This was the
first improvement made in the
valley. He did this to hold or
secure his claim on the place,
and his was probably the first
train of wagons to pass through
this part of the country. r.
Milligan made another trip
with corn in the fall of : 1871.
This time he had Is wagons, and
among the party with him was
Marion Clark. Owing to the
lateness of the season and other
causes a part. of the corn was
left at the house he built the
year before. They expected to
return for it. (This was in jan
uary.) On returning, Milligan
concluded to go on to the Rio
Grande and get tools and sup
plies for putting in a. crop. Ma
rion Clark and a Mexican were
left to guard the. corn until his
return. About April l, 1872,
Milligan returned with a COM
plete outfit for farming. He
brought with him Anthony Long
and O. Mccullough as partners
in the enterprise. Some corn
and a little barley was put in,
plowing being commenced about
the 18th of April. Clark planted
some on what was later Julius
Becker's farm. This move may
be said to have been the start
ing of Springerville, as it was
afterwards named.
During the spring Milligan
and Clark made a trip on horse
back to Camp Verde to see about
disposing of the corn which
Milligan had left, and to put in
bids for hay and wood contracts
for Fort Apache. In June the
corn was sent to Camp Verde.
This company went by the val
ley where Snowflake is now sit
uated and found the bed Of the
creek dry, only a little water in
holes toward the upper end of
the valley. Just what they got
for the corn isn't known, but in
Apache ten dollars per hundred
was, received for9the Indian col
ored corn and twelve and a half

LITTLE JOLT FOR THE BAR
Lawyers Must Have Found II Hard
to Smile at His Honor's Humor.
Gus Comment.

Here is a story that was told at a
recent Washington banquet by Con-
gresham James Manahan of Min
nesota, in throwing the harpoon into
some legal friends.
In a certain court some time ago
a German was drawn on the jury,
but when it came time to officiate
he arose in meeting and asked the
judge to excuse him.
81 don't know about that" quick
ly answered his honor, casting a ju-
dicial eye Oh the juryman. as
there any good and valid reason why
you should be excused?"
at vas dis way, shooge," hopefully
explained Hans. 81 vas a Sherman

chuckled the judge, with a happy
glance at the legal talent before him.
"It is doubtful if you hear enough
good English to perplex you."

Chickens and Dope.

Why should medicine be given
to people, stock, chickens, dogs
or cats when they are not sick?
Everybody knows that the man
who keeps his system full of dope
is always sick-sick because of
the dope. Then why dope chick
ems to make them lay?" Any
thing fed to chickens to stimu-
late them to lay is a great mis-
take. If a hen is sick, and if
she is worth saving, then it may
be all right to separate her from
healthy flock and give her a
dose; but to feed stimulants to
the working flock is but to short
en- the period of their usefulness
by undermining their health.
When proper feed, in proper
quantities, together with proper
housing, fail to make a hen lay,
then make her "lay" by wiring
ing her neck and then make her
up into a good potpie.

Since this Is Impossible on a farm

this state. In the former case,
the practical things learned in

case, every farmer is a manager,
hence, the information must be lm

SUBMARINE IS MANS HOBBY
American Everywhere Recognized az
an Expert In That Arm Of
Naval Strength.

Lawrence Y. Spear, who has paid
more attention to the development
of the submarine than any other
man in this country, does not be-
lieve that the battleship is doomed,
but chat perfect navy must be
composed of several units, the bat
tleship, battle cruiser, scout cruiser,
torpedo-boat destroyer, submarine,
and many other craft. He is grad
uate Of the Naval academy at An
napolis. In 1900 he was on duty as
experimenting constructor for the
United States navy at the shipyard
of Lewis Nixon at Elizabethport,
where the first small Holland sub
marine was building for the navy
department. Seeing great possibili-
ties in the submarine, he retired
from the navy and became vice-pres-
ident and naval architect of the
Electric Boat company, which owns
the Holland submarine patents. He
has seen the submarine grow from
60 feet to 300 feet, which is the
length of the boat that is to be built
for the United States government,
and the plans for which have largely
come from his work. A large num-
Der of boats from plans made by Mr..
Spear are in service in the navies of
England, Japan, Russia, Canada,
Holland, Austria and Denmark.
